"Everything is going well Father, I think soon I shall be with child once more. A Son" Anne smiles happily.

"And what of your sister" Thomas questions "Is she still in the kins good graces"

"They've not spoken. And neither have we"

"Anne you and your sister are suppose to stick together" Thomas snaps "She is the mother of his only son right this minute. If Margaret has not been speaking with your or his majesty was has the girl been up to"

"She visits James and Elizabeth sometimes, other than that she is doing as she pleases" Anne admits.

"What else is there"

"There have been some lords wanting to wed her. I haven't spoken to her of any marriages yet but I think she will want to settle down"

"High Lords"

"Father she has given the king a son, any powerful lord would want to wed her. Our family is at its height"

"Another good marriage will have us even higher, Anne. But you have to Speak with the king first"

"I know that. I'm just waiting for the right time. Any man that would Marry 

Margaret will be James stepfather"

"Anne speak to him before any of the lords decided to ask the king and not you"

"I shall try my best"

July 22nd 1535

Anne was going back and forward if she should talk to Henry about finding allowing Margaret to wed. Anne didn't even know if Margaret wished to wed. But there father wanted it. So all she had to do was talk to Henry and her sister who she hadn't talked to in weeks because of there argument.

"Madge come here" Anne called the only lady she fully trusted over to her.

"My Queen" Madge bowed.

"I need you to find his majesty for me"

"Of course what should I tell his majesty"

"Nothing. Just say it's urgent"

************************************

once again his wife intruppted his meetings. Once again he was walking to her chambers. As he entered he sent all of her lady's out and gave her a death look.

"Anne what is so urgent this time" He snaps "Are you well

"It's not about me" Anne admits "Some high noble lords have asked me something. I have spoken to my father and he says I must ask you"

"Ask me what" Henry asks out of confusion.

"For your permission to find a noble man for Margaret"

"What did you just say"

"Henry Margaret is twenty six she is young and has shown she cab produce sons"

"She isn't marrying anyone. Atleast not now" Henry snaps.

"Henry I don't wish to argue of this. But Father has no need for Margaret. If she doesn't wed father is going to allow her do as she pleases"

"Then so be it she will do as she pleases. As long as I am king of England Margaret will remain here unwed"

"She could easily leave for France have you ever thought of that" Anne snarls "Francis the first will find her a very suitable husband"

"She wouldn't leave our son. Even you have admdited that"

"She would take him" Anne lies "James is her son"

"Does Margaret wish to wed or leave England"

"I wouldn't know"

"Then stop trying to convince me to allow her to wed. Unless she comes tome begging for a marriage. She will. Remain Margaret Boleyn"

July 26th 1535, Hatfield House

"Elizabeth" Margaret smiled at her young niece as she walked over to her slowly. Margaret picked her up and kissed her head "Look at you your almost two years of age"

"Two" Elizabeth babbled as she helt two finger up.

"Yes my Niece" Margaret nodded her head as she heard the voice of Lady Bryan.

"My lady the prince has awoke" Lady Bryan informed her "Allow me to take princess Elizabeth"

"No no The princess and Prince are related if you could say that" Margaret states as she walks out with Elizabeth in her hands.

"James Awake" Elizabeth yelled happily as Margaret laughed quietly as she entered her sons room.

"Do you want to go play with some of the toys" Margaret asks her niece as Elizabeth nods her head. So Margaret places her down in her sons room
And watches her head to the toys. She keeps her eyes on Elizabeth for a few moments before she hears her sons crys.

She walks to his crib and pciks him up as she did with Elizabeth minute before. But she does it more carefully not wanting to harm her son in any possible way. She looks down at him in her arms as he stops crying.

"I love you with my while heart" She whispered "My sweet son"

************************************

"We can do a quick stop at Hatfield" Henry says to his guards and Charles as he stops his horse "Charles"

"Anything you wish Your Majesty" Charles tells him "I do wish to meet the prince"

"Well it's only a ten minute ride from here. Guards you can all wait here we won't be long"

************************************

Henry and Charles got of there horses as they enter Hatfield they are Both welcomed by Lady Bryan.

"Charles this is Lady Bryan. The woman who is supposed to be with My son right ths minute" Henry greets the two.

"I would be your Majesty but things have changed" Lady Bryan admits.

"What do you mean change" Charles speaks up. As he catches Mary walking past in one of the hall ways "What is The lady Mary Doing right now"

"Charles" Henry warns his best friend. Charles knew mary was no longer a  daughter to him "Can I just see my son"

"Of course, of course" Lady Bryan nods her head still not telling the king That Margaret was there.

************************************

Mary didn't want to see or have anything to do with her father. As soon as she saw him and Charles she rushed to her small chambers. She knew Margaret was here and had Elizabeth in her care. And she couldn't imagine how he was going to react when he walked into her brothers room to Find Margaret sat with Elizabeth.

She was just lucky he cared for Margaret. Well Mary hoped her father still did.

Margaret had put James back down when he fell asleep. He was two months old most of the time he slept. And she knew he would be much comfortable in his cot.

She stayed in his room incase he woke back up. She wanted to try be a real mother. Or close to one.

Right now she was on the couch playing with her younger niece.

Elizabeth grabbed the wooden ship and threw it on the ground "Gone"

"Elizabeth you don't throw things" Margaret tells her. Then softens her face when she sees Elizabeth look like she was about to cry "My sweet Niece come here"

Elizabeth crawled along the coach like a toddler she was and Margaret picked her up allowing her to sit on her lap.

"We should be getting you to Mary. I have to go" Margaret whispers as she stands up still holding Elizabeth around the right pg her waist. But at the same time the doors of her sons chambers open.

"Lady Bryan is that you" Margaret asks startled when she sees the two men infront of her.

Her grip of the princess tightens as she lets out a small sigh of relief.

"Lady Margaret" Charles greets the woman as all Henry can do is look at her then to his daughter who she had around her waist. He knew he always wanted a son but he began to wonder how his and Margaret's daughter would look like. Charles notices he won't speak up so he apologies "Sorry for Startling you"

"It's fine" Margaret assured him "Your majesty, I think I should take Elizabeth back to Lady Bryan"

"No no" Henry stops her "Charles could you take Elizabeth for us"

"Of course my king" Charles nods his head walking over to Margaret who still had Elizabeth "I will make sure she is safe Margaret"

"Thank you, your grace" Margaret thanks him as Charles takes hold of Elizabeth and walks out with her.

"What are you doing here" Both Henry and Margaert ask each other. Although Margaret already knew why he was here.

"I came to see Our son and Elizabeth" Margaret answers first knowing it was better if she did "He fell asleep not long ago. So Elizabeth kept me some company"

"I suppose this isn't the first time you've came to see James and ended up with Elizabeth atyoru side" Henry smiles softly "Well then I know james and Elizabeth are well I'll leave you be"

"She looks just like you and her," Margaret speaks up.

"Elizabeth is still young Mar-"

"Mary she's looks just like you and Catherine I know you forbade me to go near Mary, but its kind of hard Henry"

"Don't say her name"

"Who's name"

"Catherine's, I don't want you anywhere near her or even speaking about her" Henry tells her "And I want you to try to stay away
From Lady Mary"

"Are you telling me to stay away form my own son"

"Margaret I'd never do that to you"

"Mhm"

"I came here to see how James was. But while I'm here with you I want to ask something"

"Anything" Margaret tells him not realising what she had said.

"Anne spoke to me about the desire to marry you of"

Margaret knew nothing of this. But she wasn't going to denie it. Some part of her was doing it for Anne but the other part of her wanted to make him jealous.

"If that is what she wishes and she had your permission then I would be happy to find a husband" She lies "I'm a young woman Marrying is something I would find joy in"

"Then you have my permission" Henry grits his teeth.

"Then I shall speak with Anne soon. I'm sure she can find a suitable Lord" Margaret states as she looks over at her sons crib then to Henry "My carriage will be outside now. It was nice seeing you your majesty"

Henry doesn't ssya a word as Margaret walks past him and out of there sons Chambers.

July 29th 1535

"My Queen" Jane stuttered as she waited for Anne to speak.

"What is it Lady Jane" Anne rolls her eyes "Well go on speak"

"The Lady Margaret is here"

"She is" Anne asks as her voice softens "Send her in and then leave"

"Someone is always meant to b-"

Anne cuts her of angerily "I may the Queen and My sister is the mother of the prince. I can assure you we aren't plotting anything Lady Jane"

"Of course my Queen" Jane spoke fastly as she dashed out.

Margaret saw Jane walk back out as she bowed her head to her "The Queen will see you"

"Wait Lady Jane" Margaret grabs her arm as she trys to walk by "Are you alright"

"Yes The Queen just wishes to speak with you privately"

"Of course, shouldn't you just wait out here though" Margaret questions letting go ot her arm "Where are you even going"

"Just on a walk while the Queen speaks with you" Jane lies as Margaret let's her walk away. Margaret then entered Anne's Chambers as she closes the door behind her.

"Margaret" Anne smiled as she saw Margaret facing the doors "You asked to see me"

"Anne where did you send Jane of to" Margaret snaps turning around.

"Outside my Chambers, Margaret where is she"

"I think she's going to see Henry"

"They broke it off" Anne snarls.

"Really you think he would break it of that easily"

"Margaret Jane doesn't matter right now. Why are you here"

"I saw Henry at Hatfield three days ago, He thinks I'm to marry"

"He asked you" Anne rolls her eyes "Don't worry you don't have to"

"Good, But shouldn't you worry about Jane"

"Margaret I have no reason to worry"

"Why" Margaret tilits her head.

"I'm with child" Anne smiles happily.
