Elena's baby bump had grown sufficiently she was around five months now.

On an early Monday morning being woken up to Charles lifting his wife into his arms and kissed all over her face as she giggled.

"I take it,your happy about this new babe"

"Of course I am,our children our both the best parts of you and I. What's not to love"

Charles spend the rest of the day getting red apples and grapes for his wife, who spend the rest of the day reading while her son lay in her arms,asleep.

Orion was thrilled to become a big brother.

"I gon be big brother"
He asked in his little voiced, missing out some letters

"Yes,my darling,you are"
Elena looked at her son with love as his hands touch her tummy

"I'm gon be the boss of it"
He asked so innocently

Charles snorted with laugher and a shocked expression graced Elena features

"Well,uh-"

Elena sat next to Jane Parker as they watched the tournament
"is your sister not attending the tournament today"
Jane asked

"i'm afraid not she's afraid that the excitement of the tournament might harm her unborn son"

"Is she so sure it's a son,didn't she think that before"

"it's true last time an astrologer told her it would be a boy but hopefully by God is good grace it will really be a boy this time"

"well personally I hope she doesn't visit the same astrologer as last time"
Jane snickered a bit

Elena ignored It.

Jane started to talk about
"I am most happy for you"
She gestured down to Elena's swollen stomach

Elena smiled putting her hand on her belly
"Thank you Jane,Charles and Orion are most happy aswell"

Charles road in front of them and pushed his joust towards his wife
"Your favours,bookworm" he said in a deep voiced with a smirk

Elena smirked back at him and pulled the blue piece of ribbon of her wrist and tied it around the end of the joust, Charles winked and rode off ready to complete.

Everyone was petrified.
The king had fallen from his horse and had been crushed that said he was likely to die Anne was in pieces while Elena tried to comfort her,

"but what if he is to die I cannot live without my husband I love him"

"I know sister,I'm so sorry"
Anne cried into her little sisters shoulders

Thomas and George Boleyn no doubt was scheming something

"where are we going"
George asked

"back to Whitehall, don't you understand anything, in such a crisis all could disintegrate so the centre has to hold and we must hold it"

Thomas Cromwell was trying to organise papers

"Mr secretary a letter from Dover Sir"
"Mr secretary Mr secretary!"

"News?"

"there is no news the king still shows no signs of life"

"how long since the accident?"

"almost an hour ago your honour"

It's a Cromwell shoot the newsboy away and went back to thinking.

Henry had woken up,thank God
Always still not well
for awhile Anne Boleyn prayed for her husband's life in the church
when king Henry woke up all he could think about was miss Jane Seymour,pulling her favourscthat little piece of fabric out from his armour and looking at it with all the love in the world.
__________________________

The news of the kings ulcer had gotten out, Anne was constantly worried about it as well as mistress Seymour.

The banquet was beautiful and Elena saw her husband and the king talking,
She walked over

"well what are you two so happy about"
She asked

"i've sent miss Seymour some broaches and a purse and she returned them both and opened"
Henry said smiling

"And that's a good thing?"

"It means she wants to communicate more, speak to me more!"
Henry cheered, laughing and hugging Charles and Elena then walking away.

Charles turned back to his wife a smirk evident on his face
Elena pulled a face

"No-"

"-a dance,bookworm"

"I'm pregnant,pregnant women shouldn't move too much"

Charles got closer, his voice deepening and lips inches apart
"A slow dance then"
He gently grabbed her hand and led her to the dance and when the music stared they simply got lost in each other
__________________________

The next day,Elena could not find Anne anywhere, by noon she had given up and just to pick up Orion from Sadie.

Now they were in the royal garden on the grass,surrounded by dozens of roses. While Elena read poetry to Orion and he unborn child,while Orion looked up at his mother occasionally rubbing his little hand over her belly while falling asleep,
all was well

Until

"YOUR GRACE"

Orion bolted up a the sound of one of the kings men calling for his mother

"What is it,tell me what's happened?"

"Your grace,your sister had miscarried the kings son"

Her stomach dropped,Anne miscarried,again.
What would This mean,are they safe,is Anne okay

"Ah!"
Elena grabbed her stomach,falling to the ground

"Your grace!"
"Mama!"

"They were right,all the whispers,I shut my ears to them before but now I know...I made this,marriage seduced by witchcraft and now consider it null and void,my proof, our inability to conceive male issue and I believe with all my heart but I shall take another wife"
