What would become of the Boleyn sisters if there was another?
Would Anne suffer the same fate?
Would Mary have been cast aside?
We may never have known until now.

The day was peaceful. The sun shone it's rays past the clouds and upon the golden fields of the countryside. The sound of laughter could be heard from miles across the vast land. Laughter that brought a smile to the faces of Thomas and Elizabeth Boleyn as they walked towards their four children and watched happily from a distance as their children run around and played together in the summer heat.
"Mary!" Anne Boleyn cried out towards her sister, as she tried to catch up.
"Wait for me!" Called George Boleyn excitedly as he tried to catch up to his sisters.
"Come on George. Hurry, brother!" Caroline's soft voice called back to her brother as she ran in front of her three siblings.
"I received a request for marriage today for Anne, from the Carey family. William their eldest son". Thomas Boleyn informed his wife as they strolled side by side.
"Oh, that's wonderful," Elizabeth Boleyn smiled at the news, however her smile faded as she heard her husband continue.
"I turned it down. Offered them Mary instead. Everyone improves the standing of their family with their daughters, I think Anne can do a lot better than a merchants son," Thomas said glancing towards his wife.
Elizabeth scoffs and turns towards her husband.
"And Mary can't? I think you underestimate her, and what of Caroline was she not thought of?" Elizabeth asked before facing forwards again to watch over her children.
"Oh, no, that's not true. I think she's the kinder of the two, quite possibly the fairer and our dear Caroline how am I to forget her. She is both Anne and Mary however, I believe she two can do better.
To get ahead in this world you need more than fair looks and a kind heart," Thomas said before continuing onwards towards his children while Elizabeth stayed behind and watched the tender moment with a gentle smile upon her lips at the sight of her children having such fun.
Their laughter was contagious it seemed and Thomas joined.
