It has come to my attention that the story is a bit different from the summary. Trust me, what you read in the summary WILL happen in this story. A reviewer pointed out that the story is not what she thought it to be. I will inform you like I informed her.

'The current situation in the story is one of the many chain reactions that are caused by Henry and Catalina's divorce. In the summary I said that Katherine makes a choice that will affect her life in many ways. The last few chapters were the things that is leading up to the main parts in the story. In other words, the things that are happening in the chapters are events that is occurring in between the main parts.

Trust me, I can assure you that Jane/Princess Persèus will reunite with the royal Monacan family. King Henry will learn of the twins he didn't know he had and Princess Mary will be much better off in my story then in real life. Catalina will become the strong woman she truly is. She will be the brilliant militant woman in Breaking The Cycle just like in real life. But I should warn you, there will be many arcs in this story, I plan on having 80+ chapters.

You wouldn't want to read how easy it is to live in Tudor England. How the good King Henry leads England in a golden era with no trouble at all, and how he is not jealous about his ex wife. Or how perfect Tudor England is amongst Europe and how safe it is to walk the streets at night. How people sleep with their doors and windows unlock and is so trustworthy of each other.

No.

This story is not a perfect story of a perfect family. This is a drama story mixed with romance, comfort and a couple hardships and adversities. These people are crazy!

People are not remembered for going through life by the book. Not for achieving goals with no trouble at all. People won't remember your name if you love life easy. People are remembered for the struggles they had to live through, the walls they had to break down. The hell they are put through.

Katherine of Aragon was remembered for her good deeds. Defending England from Scotland. Speaking up for woman and not backing down when Henry tried , on many attempts, to hurt her. Whether it was by taking away her crown or using a child against her mother. She fought literally to her last breath. She fought and struggled. If she would have given up and left for the nunnery she would never have been remembered.

King Henry was remembered mainly for the way he put people to death, his fatness, and his six wives. They even made a nursery rhyme off his many marriages.

'Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived.'

From the reviews I got last chapter you all had me thinking 'what the hell did I write about Anne to get the responses that I got' lol. The Tudor family is a dysfunction bunch.

King Henry is a egocentric man who is fighting demons. He wants what he can't have, and he gives himself a bad reputation. This is what you get when you mix a Queen of royal blood with a commoner King and his controlling mother.

Queen Anne, who was once a foolish ambitious head case. She was pushed into the real world when she became a mother. Her child made her realize that she had something else to live for, to protect, and to keep safe from political harm done by the men in her life. Anne Boleyn now sees why Katherine of Aragon put up with Henry's bull. Her conscious grows heavy at the fact that she caused a good woman's suffering. Anne Boleyn also intends to make amends with her onetime enemy. Despite what her father says. Anne Boleyn is Queen of England and has decided to use her title for the good and not to please her family.

Princess Mary is a strong and bright child who is not blind at seeing the things that is going on around her father's court. Though she is only 14, she has a great duty to perform. Less than one years time she will be crowned Holy Roman Empress and Queen of Spain.

Catalina of Aragon is on her third marriage. She is only just starting to get her back bone back. She is currently married to a handsome Spanish naval commander. Who is helping her raise an unofficial prince and princess. She is only just learning that there is more to marriage than having babies, and finds that she finally has a chance to experience true love. This act itself is slowly opening the door to her former self.

Princess Elizabeth is a merry child. She just be chilling, laying back and relaxing in the arms of which ever of her ladies are willing to hold and play with her. Her high point of the day is when her wet nurse pulls her strings. Lol.

The Tudor Royal family is anything but perfect. In a way, their foolishness completes each other lol. So I hope you are not too disappointed in the story because it will turn into a full length story, and besides, what's a good story without challenges, struggles, pains, truths, villains and heroes.

Also a couple anonymous reviewers also suggested that I should not be so biased about Anne. I think their right.

I know it seems like I am being hateful towards Anne. But in truth I am not. I needed Anne to go through some pains and truths herself in order to realize how it is hard to survive. Now that Elizabeth is born Anne's entire perspective changed. Anne now looks back at how she came to be Queen. She feels bad about the way things happened and even worst at how people had to suffer. Her father and brother is another story. They want Mary to fail and have Elizabeth on the throne. They wanted her to die in the dirt.

Anne on the other hand felt the complete opposite of her father and brother. She felt bad for the wounded princess. Being a mother herself shed light on what she wanted in life, which is healthy and happy children, and a happy husband. She also wants peace between her onetime rival, and begin thinking of ways to do so. She now sees why Katherine stayed as long as she did. She endured for the sake of her child's future. And Anne now sees and knows exactly what Katherine felt like.

And for all the reviewers who 'love' Anne Boleyn, I will allow her to live and not chop off her head lol.

Tell me what you think. Enjoy Sudden Entrance. A new character will be joining the cast. And this person will have a destiny like no other.

October 20, 1536

Catalina's carriage rode through the early morning's mist. She and Alejo wanted to see Mary before Catalina was due to her confinement. She has just entered her eighth month of pregnancy ten days ago. Her middle was as round as an orange. Bella and Nicky were amazed at how much their mother's figure has change. Their are now saying small words and are almost walking. Bella on the other hand has already taken her first steps, she only needs something to hold on to for support. Catalina missed them every minute since she has left. It showed on her face. "They will be fine." Alejo assured her. Her weak smile did not fool him. He knew his wife.

"I know mi amor, Jane is so playful with them. She is like a big child when she is around them. We are so very grateful to have her." Catalina said. She is truly thankful to have Jane.

"Yes, and she will have her hands full if you are carrying another set of twins." Alejo jested. That earned him a genuine smile from his wife. Small talk continued between the two from toys to baby names. Soon they arrived at the palace and was shown in. Once they were inside the palace King Henry came to them with a smile on his face. Catalina observed how happy His Majesty is and felt a bit uncomfortable.

"Katherine, Alejandro it is good to see you," King Henry said as he hugged Catalina, he even shook Alejo's hand. This most definitely made both husband and wife uncomfortable. They were smart enough to not let it show on their faces. King Henry smiles at the couple and offers them seats in the sitting room. As the servants placed sliced fruit and wine in front of them the King began to speak up. "I have the most wonderful news." His Majesty stated as he sat back in his seat. Catalina smiled and nodded for him to continue. "It seems Queen Anne has been keeping a secret. A week ago she told me she was with child. It was a surprise for me." the King's smile widened and she made a little laugh.

"That is most wonderful news Henry." Catalina said truly happy for him. Alejo stood and shook the King's hand.

"Congratulations sir, may your family grow as healthy and strong as mine." Alejo said honestly.

"Thank you very much. I will have a joust in the Queen's honor and I wish for the both of you to attend." Henry said happily.

"Of course we will." Catalina said. All three stood and left the sitting room and through the corridors of the palace.

"Good." the King said while he walked with his hands behind his back. "Katherine, I believe Mary wants to show you her new sport, archery. She has proved to be skilled at such and activity." King Henry boasted. Catalina was very please at how much her daughter's health and strength improved. Today she was going to see for herself. As she and Alejo made their way to the open field, they could see just how much Mary's condition has change.

"Mary!" Catalina cried getting her daughter's attention. Upon hearing this, Mary drop her bow and arrow. She ran into her mother and step father's arms. Mary excitedly but gently hugging her mother. She hugged her stepfather after.

"I am so very happy you are joining us today." the princess said.

"I am glad you are in good health and spirits." Alejo's words warmed Mary's heart. She truly was happy with him. He is one of the reasons she is happy and that meant the world to Mary. Her mother's happiness meant more than her own. Soon the three was entertained by Mary's skill and achievements. Mary struck the targets gracefully. Catalina and Alejo watched and clapped at her progress. A few hours later it was and hour passed noon and lunch was brought to their open tent. Catalina was so hungry that she ate two servings. After their afternoon meal Alejo decided to take Catalina for a walk around the field to stretch their legs. After a few minutes, Catalina stopped and placed her hands on her stomach. "Are you well?" Alejo asked as he covered her hand with his own on her belly. Catalina smiled softly at him.

"The child kicked, put your hand here." she instructed as he gently put his hand on the side of her stomach. After a few seconds of waiting the baby kicked. Alejo laughed at the sudden movement of his child.

"Our child is strong." he commented. Catalina put her hands over his.

"The child kicks me every night and keeps me awake. Honestly husband, I can not wait to birth him or her. Or to hold our little one in our arms." Catalina said as she held Alejo's hand. He gently squeezed and kissed her lips. Catalina ended the kiss early and looked at her husband. He lifted her chin to look at him.

"What is it, mi amor." he asked softly. Catalina placed her hands on his jacket over his chest.

"If I bare you a daughter, will you not..." she could not even say the whole sentence. At that moment, Alejo understood where she was going. He slowly shook his head and warmly embraced her. Gently he held her tight.

"No matter what you bless me with Catalina, I shall love you unconditionally. If you bare me a daughter, then I shall be lucky. Lucky that I now have three beautiful faces to look upon." he said sincerely. Catalina nodded.

"Four if you count Mary." he added while smiling.

"I am sorry I doubted you. Giving my husband a daughter, and he being happy about it is something I am not quite used to." she explained. Alejo nodded and kissed her head.

"Then let our marriage be the start of equality amongst ourselves." Alejo said while putting his arm around her. They walked for a few minutes, before Catalina spotted a grove of daffodils on her right.

"Alejo look, daffodils. Oh, I love them. They shall go nicely in the dinning hall." Catalina said. Alejo smiled and nodded.

"For you my love, you deserve all the flowers on Gods green earth." he said as he walked in the grove and carefully went to gather them. While he was gathering flowers, Catalina heard a faint cry behind her. She looked and saw four brown stallions running loose, a man running behind them with a whip in hand. Catalina froze. She was speechless, she was so shocked that she was incapable of calling out to Alejo.

"Get out of the way!" she heard the man yelled. She was far but she could still hear him. The horses came closer and closer. She felt nothing, only darkness surrounded her. Alejo turned just as his wife was ran over by horses. The dust from their galloping made it hard for him to see if it was only one horse or more that hit her.

"No!" he yelled. Nearby guards saw from a distance and where already running towards him. Alejo ran to her side, he could not believe what has just taken place. There was bloody water coming from between her legs. Fear struck Alejo as his child's life was in danger. "No, my child." he whispered. The guards came along with Princess Mary. She immediately knelt by her mother and watch as Alejo took her in his arms.

"Mama!" she cried. Blood getting on both Alejo and the princess.

White Hall Palace

A guard ran with great speed to the King's office. "Your Majesty!" he cried as he burst through the King's office doors. King Henry was sitting at his desk preparing for the honorary joust. Anne was sitting near him and the sudden burst scared her and made her spill her tea. Her hot tea. King Henry stood immediately.

"What is the meaning of this." he roared.

"What has happened..." Anne said but the guard cut the Queen off.

"Your Majesty, Princess Catalina has been in a accident." the King's eyes widened at what he has just heard.

"What" he whispered.

"Horses was loose in the area and..." the King did not let him finish. He quickly ran from his office. By this time Catalina was being carried to her chambers. He watched as Alejo consoled his daughter, both was wearing Catalina's blood. Dr. Linacre was right behind them. Soon all the guards left the chambers. Anne came behind the King and took his hand in hers. He shook her off and went to Alejo and Mary's side.

Catalina's Chamber

"Stop the bleeding!" Linacre yelled to one of his attendants. Blood was coming from Catalina's womb.

"Sir, I can not, the head is breeching." one of the attendants said in panic.

"What! The child is coming with out the push?" he asked frantically. Little did they know that the horse attack induced the labor. But she was only violently pushed by only one horse. Linacre was puzzled, she was unconscious and the baby was coming push or no push.

Soon the head was out and the rest slowly came out. The child was screaming with powerful lungs. The child was small but healthy enough to live. Almost immediately the cord was cut and midwife came and took it to be cleaned. Once the child was cleaned, an attendant was told to give the child to the father. She did as she was told. She swaddled the child and left the room. Catalina needed to be cleaned, there are mostly small cuts and scrapes along with bruising on her body.

Outer Chambers

Alejo has been waiting for nearly an hour. He had to go quickly bathe and change into a shirt and breeches. When he came back he comforted Mary with the King. Suddenly an attendant emerged from the bedchamber and placed a small bundle in Alejo's arms. The child was light and was swaddled in a warm silk little blanket. Alejo had unshed tears in his eyes. For the first time he held his child. His first born. "My son." he whispered looking in his sons eyes. "What is the news about my wife. Please, tell me she is going to come from this." he asked the attendant.

"Her Highness majority injury is minor cuts and crapes. Dr. Linacre has said that the most damage was induced labor. Once she wakes she will be required to have bed rest immediately." the nurse informed him. Alejo closed his eyes and a lone tear released itself.

"Thank God." he said as he crossed himself. He turned to Mary and saw that she too was crying. "Your mother has blessed me with a son. Our first born son. This woman God has blessed me with, bestowed unto me a son. A healthy son. She is truly heaven sent." he said as another tear follow. Mary leaned down and kissed her brother's small head. The King and Queen watched as the scene unfolded. Henry could not believe his eyes. Katherine has a living son, and for another man. Henry's jealousy shot through the roof he got up and left. He reached his office with Anne behind him. He opened and slammed the door.

"Henry all will be well." Anne assured him. He pounded his fists against the desk.

"Do you not see, Anne! Katherine was INFERTILE! Now she has given her new husband a health son." he yelled. Anne winced back in fear.

"Henry it means nothing. Katherine's son is not what you should fret over. Think about the son's I shall give you and not the sons she didn't." she said. The King looked at her and stood to his full height.

"How dare you speak of MY sons with her. Do you not think I know that. Do you! I am angry because she could not give me sons. And not even two years into her marriage with Alejandro of Aragon she bares him a fucking son! A son that was supposed to be mine!" he roared in Anne's face. Anne had to step back. She sometime wondered if Henry still loved her. Now that she's a mother her whole perspective of every changed. She no longer wished to loose herself in plots and plans like her father and brother. Motherhood changed her for the better and the only concern she had was to have a healthy and happy family. She even pushed herself to try and befriend Princess Mary. She noticed how Mary cared deeply for Elizabeth when her daughter visited.

"Henry..." she said as she touched his shoulder. He violently shook her off.

"Do you think I do not hear them." he said in a deathly calm voice. Anne became confused. 'Hear who' she thought to herself.

"Who Henry." she asked.

"The whispers. I have heard whispers saying now that Katherine has a new husband she will have a chance to bare strong and healthy children." he said with venom in his voice. Anne stepped back becoming suddenly afraid.

"Henry, they are only jealous of us. Do not listen to them. They only want you to take her back." Anne reasoned.

"Get out." he said plainly. The sudden need for wine craved in him.

"Henry." Anne started but Henry cut her off.

"I said get out!" he yelled with his loudest voice. Anne practically ran from the room. All King Henry had ever wanted was a strong son. Now that his former Queen who was labeled infertile has just given birth to a healthy son. According to Dr. Linacre, the boy was a month premature and still healthy. Katherine had even admitted (in a private moment) that she loved her precious husband more than she loved him.

After all they shared, all they went through together she loves someone more than she loved him. Surely God was punishing him for his wrong doing. This was in fact proof that he had lost God's favor. All the while Katherine was blessed with healthy children fathered by another man. This enrage the King. In a sudden tantrum he destroyed everything that was not nailed down. He smashed chairs, broken tables and even turned over his desk. Rage consumed him, all his selfishness and wrong doing was thrown back into his face. He felt an uncontrollable need to do harm to himself but did not. King Henry slid unto the floor of his destroyed office. He held his head in his hands and began to cry to himself.

Catalina

As I awake from my sleep I felt very sore and pain in my stomach and womb. I moved my hips and the soreness overwhelmed me. I groaned in pain and open my eyes a little. "Mother." I heard Mary say in a whispered voice, her hand soon held mine. I gave it a small squeeze. "Mama are you well. Do you feel pain, what do you remember." she asked me. I sensed fear in her voice. I fully opened my eyes and noticed it was dark outside.

"What happened." I whispered. Mary came closer and kissed my hand.

"What do you remember about today." Mary whispered. I was about to answer when Alejo came from the shadows.

"Catalina, I have been so worried. I thought I lost you." he said with unshed tears in his eyes. I became afraid and I slowly sat up, wincing as the pain went through me.

"Lost me?" I repeated confused.

"Yes, you were trampled by horses, do you not remember." Alejo came to me and kissed my head. I slowly come to realization about the events leading up to me in this bed. I put my hands on my stomach.

"My child." I whispered and cried softly. Alejo took my hands into his.

"Catalina, never fear. Our child is healthy. You delivered soon after you were trampled." he said and kissed me again.

"Where is it." I asked softly. I could not believe after all that happened to me my child still was strong enough to survive. Alejo left the bed and went to a small basinet that I just noticed. He picked up a small bundle and brought it over to me. He sat by my side, he leaned down and put our child in my arms. As I held my child, I looked at his face. It is the most beautiful face I have ever seen other then my other children. I am looking at my son, my strong and healthy son. "My little boy." I whispered as I kissed his little head. "My sweet boy."

"What shall we name him?" Alejo asked as he caressed our sons head.

"I would like to name him Alejandro, after you mi amor." I said, Alejo smiled and a tear drop from his eye.

"I think that is a wonderful name." Mary said. I smiled to her and nodded. 'My little Alejandro'. I thought to myself. I looked to Alejo he caressed his sons' little head.

"Let us call him Alex for short." he said. Mary and I nodded. Little Alex and his brother Nicky has something in common. I have yet to remember their births. We marveled over Alex a little while longer. Mary and Alejo was tired I could see it in their faces. "Mi ha, you look so tired. Why don't you go and rest. We shall be fine." I assured her. She showed a small smile and nodded. Mary kissed Alex's head and wished us a good rest and left for her own chambers. We place Alex comfortably in between his father and I. Then I and my husband lowered ourselves in bed and sleep took us whole.

Katherine and Alejandro finally has a child together. All is well.

Except for Henry. He NOW believes God disowned him. He is so mingled inside, his turmoil grows by the hour. But for what I have planned. Him not having a son will be the lease of his problems... And as you read, motherhood has changed Anne Boleyn. She now sees why Katherine put up with Henry's bs, because of Princess Mary. What a mother wouldn't do for her child.

Ok that is the my latest chapter. I hope you all like it. Please review.
