"Father, how are you?" Anne asked her father as he stood in front of his two daughters.

Thomas let out a deep breath as he glared at Anne then to Margaret "You are to have the king's son soon Anne. I am overjoyed"

"And So am I, but there's something wrong what is it"

"That's between your sister and I Anne" Thomas states as Margaret looks at her father.

"I Think I shall retire to my chambers" Margaret spoke up as she went to stand up.

"Margaret" Her father snaps as she passes him and leaves Annes chambers.

"What was that" Anne snarls at her father "Why must you keep secrets with one of us and then treat others like there nothing to you father.  What father does that"

"Dont assume things Anne, your sister may be the ticket to our success if what i know is true"

Anne stands up as she walks to George "I am the Queen, My daughter is in line to inherit the throne and I am to have the king's son soon. I am the success our family needs"

"You think that high of yourself when It was I who got you here child. I got Margaret where she is today. But unlike you she is playing smart"

"This isn't a game father, I fear for my life if I cannot bare the king son, meanwhile your playing a live game of chest with your children"

"Anne I will only warn you once and only once. Start thinking before you speak and before you do a single thing" Thomas snaps "Because the kings eyes are on our family more than ever now"

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

"LIttle sister" George smiles as Margaret walks into his chambers taking a seat on the couch "What is the matter now"

"Father is" She huffed "Why must all men use their children for political gains"

"Well I am not all men" George smiles softly as he takes a seat beside her.

"Because your lady is not yet with child"

"Thats is true, I still don't see the matter"

"Because your blind and a fool"

"And That hurt"

Margaret rolls her eyes as she playfully hits her brother's arm.

"Margaret You have to tell our father before anyone finds out, And You have to tell the king"

"What about Anne"

"What of her Margaret, you need to stop worrying about her she's the Queen and your older sister" George assures her "You have done everything anyone has asked of you"

"You don't know that"

"Tell our father then the king. If you are carrying a son then you have done what Anne hasn't"

************************************
September 27th 1534

Margaret hadn't spoken a word to her father or even the king about the matter she shared with her brother. She trusted George more than anyone in the world. And she knew he would be at her side no matter what.

It was just a matter of time before her father found out. And she wanted to be the one to tell him.

"Papa we must speak" Margaret spoke up as Thomas nods his head.

"Go on them my child"

Margaret looked around the room where she stood in. There were crowds of people and she knew if she told him here that he couldn't cause a scene let alone say anything about their family status.

"I'm with child" She whispered as a huge grin appeared on his face "And I'd like to return home, I have no means on staying here father not when I am carrying his child"

"Have you told him yet" He mutters as she shakes his head "You may return to Hever Castle with me my child. As you have finally done everything I have asked of you. Your with the king future son"

"Papa"

"Tell him then we shall leave. And hopefully when we do the king will do something"

"As you wish" She mumbled.

************************************
Margaret wasn't going to tell Henry not just yet, she had to tell Anne. Anne was sister and the future mother of England's heir. Margaret had no plans whatsoever to allow Her child to be taken away form or even named a lord or lady. Not when Anne was the true Queen and wife to Henry. And was in fact carrying an heir.

Margaret was welcomed into Annes Chambers and welcomed by Madge.

"Where is my sister Anne" Margaret asked Madge as Madge looked at Margaret "Lady Madge"

"She is resting my lady"

"Madge tell me what's happened to my sister" Margaret snapped knowing something was wrong.

"The Queen has lost her babe" Madge spoke up as Margaret rushed to the other rhlaf of thr room. Where She found Anne sat up in her bed.

"Anne my god" Margaret muttered Anne heard her.

"Sister"

Margaret took a seat at the right side of  the bed and embraced her older sister "How did this happen"

"They blame me" Anne cried.

"No one should blame you, you were locked up in this stupid room" Margaret snaps "Who blames you Anne"

"Father and Henry"

Margaret almost broke right there for her sister. It pained her knowing her sister had lost her babe and She was with child now. She didn't want any of this.

Margaret stood up knowing she had to do something. For her sisters honour.

"Margaret" Anne spoke softly as Margaret turned around "Don't do anything please"

"I won't. But you must rest sister, you will need it for I know you will have a son one day"

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

Margaret was upset and mad at her father. He knew she was with child while Anne had lost her babe and then went of and blamed Anne for losing her own child. If Margaret was honest she blamed there father. But she also blamed Henry. His urge for a son had been going on for to long.

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

September 28th 1534

"Your majesty" Thomas Cromwell walked into his meeting Chambers to find the king sat at his desk.

"Cromwell what is it now, if it is bad news I don't want to hear it" Henry snaps "I've heard enough bad news yesterday"

"It the Lady Margaret Your majesty"

At the sound of her name Henry stood up. He was scared something had happened to her just like his son "What of her"

"She wants to speak to you, your majesty" Cromwell announced "Shall I send her away"

"No no, send The lady Margaret in Cromwell"

"Of course" Cromwell bows his head as he leaves and a few minutes later Margaret walks in,closing the doors behind her. Margaret sighs as she let's go of the door handles and turns around.

"Margaret" Henry smiles softly as he goes to walk to her.

"Don't" She snaps and he listens staying where he is.

"Margaret what have I done now"

"I heard of Anne" Margaret admits a king Henry frown.

"It is a sad time for England, Anne lost my boy"

"It wasn't her fault" Margaret snaps "She was stressed and sometimes things like that happen. It's God's plan"

"So it's God's plan taking my sons away from me" He snarls

"Your majesty that is not what I said or meant" Margaret Fretted "I never came here to speak of Anne. I have something i have to tell you"

"Go ahead then, My day can't get worse" Henry Bleated.

"I found out a few days ago That I am with child" Margaret spoke softly as she looked down at the ground.

"What did you just say?" Henry spoke as Margaret met his eyes this time.

"I am with child Henry. Im to return to He-"

"You are to stay here" He cuts her off "You will stay here at my side"

"No" Margaret protested "Not when Anne has ju-"

"Margaret I shall not say it again"

"And I said I was returning to Hever castle. I don't need people acknowledging my child as a bastard. And I will not have Anne made upset even more than she is now"

"Our child is no bastard Margaret" Henry states as he walks to her. He takes hold of her hands and kisses them lightly "Our child will be treated as a prince"

Margaret wanted to snap at him there, she wanted to pull her hands out his grasp and tell him that he was nothing but a tyrant. But she didn't, she had to stay in his goodwill and a part of her wanted to have a son. So she nodded her head.

"Who knows of our babe?" Henry asks as she tilts her head.

"I told my brother a few days ago, I trust him with all my heart" She admits as Henry sighs hearing her say those words Anne would say to him and Elizabeth. He knew right then Anne didn't lie when she said it was her family motto.

"My father also knows, but I will admit I wish I never told him I don't trust him" Margaret whispered without realising.

"I shall send him away if that is what you wish Margaret"

"No its fine, But I still think I should return to Hever for a few weeks" Margaret mutters "Please Allow me to leave for a while"

Henry sighs once more as he finally gives Margaret the answer she wanted "You may return to Hever with your father"

Margaret grinned as she hugged him "Thank you Henry"

"Anything for you Margaret, I swear it" He promised as right then he realised that he didn't feel anything for Anne anymore, because he had fallen for Margaret. He truly loved her but he couldn't tell her. Love was his greatest weakness and he wouldn't let it fool him again. Not like it did with Anne.

December 24th 1534

"Margaret how are you sweet sister" George smiled as he kissed her cheeks then looked at her stomach "I see your growing, are you sure your only three months"

"Be nice George" Jane Rochford his wife snapped at him as he rolled his eyes.

"Thank you Jane, and George I've been well" Margaret smiles softly.

"I thought you would have returned to court by now" George spoke as Jane wondered of to explore hever castle and get away from George "Surely you want to leave this place, Father is a bore"

"I'm quite fine here George" She admits. 

"It's christmas tomorrow sister, Surely you want to see Anne or Mary" George raises his eyebrows.

"George you and Lady Rochford didn't come all this way for christmas day to be spent with Father"

"Well then do as you wish. Has the king wrote to you at all"

"Yes, I just haven't replied" She admits as George and her begin to walk out the living area.

"Sister your carrying his child and a son"

"No one knows that. And if it were a boy it wouldn't matter"

"Father hasn't told you" George snarls "What a father he is"

"Told me what George"

"Nothing nothing"

"George" she hisses as he breaks.

"Father is trying to persuade Henry to add the child to the line of succession.

"If the babe is a boy he would be ahead of not just Elizabeth but Mary" Margaret scoffs "The babe will be nothing but a bastard. His majesty has a wife and no right to replace Elizabeth and Mary again."

"Margaret"

"You and Lady Rochford have been wed for some time now" Margaret States changing the subject "When Will you start having children"

"That is something I will discuss with my wife when the time is right"

"So be it then brother, I want you and Lady Rochford to be happy George"

"We are happy" George lies "Jane is just difficult most of the time"

"She says the same about you" Margaret smiles "How is Anne"

"Shes fine"

"And Elizabeth"

"Annes told me she's well, but she misses her"

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

January 3rd 1535

"Lady Madge have you seen the king" Anne asks her lady as Madge nods her head "Well where is he"

"I saw his majesty and Lord Charles get ready to leave the castle" Madge admits "That is all I know your majesty"

"Tell the other ladies I've gone for a walk" Anne demands as she leaves her chambers in a hurry.

Anne soon reaches the castle gates as she sees Henry getting ready to leave.

"Henry" Anne smiles softly as she makes her way over to him. Henry turns around as he is met by his wife.

"Anne what are you doing out here" Henry questions her.

"Where are you going"

"That is none of your business" He snarls "Go back inside Anne"

"I want to know where you're going. How long will you be away for"

"As long as I please"

"You didn't answer my Questions Henry. Where are you going"

Henry snaps as he grabs Annes hand and drags her back to the gate "I have other matters to deal with. I am the king Anne, and I can do as I please"

"And I am your Queen, your wife"

He lets go of her arm as he looks at her "If you really want to know I'm going to see my unborn son"

"You're going to see her," Anne mumbled.

"Your sister isn't replying to my letters and she matters more than you do right now Anne"

"Perhaps if she's not responding she doesn't want to see you"

"You don't know a thing" He Spat as Anne let out a laugh.

"She's my sister I know her more than anyone else" Anne laughs once more as she starts to walk of backwards and bows slightly "Enjoy your short useless trip your majesty"

Henry rolls his eyes as he makes his way back to his horse and Charles.

"So you told your wife where you're going" Charles speaks up as Henry gets onto his horse.

"It doesn't matter, may we go now Charles"

"You're the king, you command us" Charles reminds him.

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

"Anne your lady said it was urgent" Arthur Panted as he saw Anne sat at the end of her bed with cup in her hand "Anne where are your ladys"

"I sent them off" Anne groans "Something is going to happen to me Arthur, I know it"

"I think you've had enough to drink" Arthur states as he grabs the cup out of her hand and places it down on the closest table "Its midday Anne,you can't be sending your ladies of or drinking"

"I'm the bloody Queen. Cant I do as I wish"

"Some things you can do, but not this. If the king were to see you like this Anne"

"Do not worry Lord Dale, my husband left not long ago" Anne snaps "To surprise my poor sister"

Arthur sighs knowing why the Queen and his dear friend was in this state "Why is he visiting her"

"You know why" Anne spat "He thinks shes is with son and She hasn't

replied to any of his letters"

"Your sister wrote to me a few days ago" Arthur admits as Anne breaks out in a fit of laughter.

"See my sister has a mind of her own, When my husband shows up to hever she will snap at him"

"Anne Let me find one of your ladys"

"I can give the king a heir a son Arthur" She spoke as she stood up and took hold of Arthurs arm stopping him from leaving "I just need Catherine and her daughter dead"

"Anne watch what you say"

"Why should I, Henry won't be able to have a son with any woman till Catherine is dead"

"What are you saying"

"My sister isn't going to give him a son, she will have a daughter" Anne states "When she does Henry will leave her and I will have my sister back. And my husband"

"Anne I think it is more complicated than that"

"Oh how is it"

"Have you heard what Henry says about her even without her presences here"

"If you're saying what I think you are, it's wrong. Even if Henry loved her Margaret would never do that" 

"She's having his child Anne. She's pushed herself away" Arthur snaps "Just think through it"
