The lives inside French Court ( A Reign Fanfiction)

Chapter 17: Life has changed for the worse?

Francis POV

Well , last night was something alright. Me and Lola were extremely intimate since she became with child. I know if she wasn't with child before she would have been by this morning. Last night was a release from everything that has been going on these past few weeks. Spending time with my wife, alone with no one to bother us was priceless. Now I lay awake with lola's head ony chest thinking of what these next few days are going to be like. If there is time for us to leave the castle before our child is born we should take it. We would be back before Lola would have the child. Our family would be sealed. My second future is safe if Mary and Bash never have children and one of the ends of dead. It would mean I would have to take the line of succession back to my side with ny children. It is not something I am looking forward to, but if it happens I have to be ready to assume all responsibilities for my country. Laying in this bed next to Lola makes me feel better, makes me feel safe. She came into my life at the right time. I was ready to marry her friend for my country but I was inlove with her. Things happened and we ended up together. We spent time together, intimate affairs. My feelings are true and honest for her. So last night added to the list of reasons why I love her. She made me feel normal again, she helped breath life back into me since Father died. So to repay her for everything, we did what we did. Lola is still asleep so I start to fall asleep with her still on my chest curled up.

Bash POV

Last night was amazing. As I wake with Mary in my arms a new man, the king and queen of France. I am the luckiest man in the world, having her in my life. My duties are to the country as well as Mary. Mary soon wakes up and we get ready for the day. Our lives are different now, we have to deal with nobles and other peoples problems. I am then greeted by guards to bring me to the working chambers to prepare for whatever issues could arise today.

Mary POV

Last night went just how i planned. In a few days I will find out if last night worked in my favour. It was a night of passion that should develop into a child, a son for us. I want to have a child in my arms one day , so I know Bash and I will have beautiful ones. As soon as I finish getting ready for a day, I meet up with my ladies. Girls that I have trusted since I was little and now one of them , Lola is pregnant with my ex finance's child. They are married of course but it still it hurts. " Lola, how much more time do you have until you have to give birth?" Kenna asks Lola as we walk down the halls. The talk of children wants me to have a child so badly. Me and Bash ave been married for months now, we should... I should have been pregnant by now. " I have a few more months left 3 maybe. I am starting to get scared of the birth. I dont want to die during childbirth , or my child. It is going to be a scary few months. " Lola tells Kenna and Grier. " Lola, we can be there for you when the time comes. We can help you through the difficult time. " Grier tells Lola, and she feels better for the moment. As the conversation changes we reach the private dinning hall to talk about the days affairs. Bash and I sit at each end of the table each with different things to talk about. As I sit down, me and Bash make eye contact both thinking of the events that happened last night. I smile and we get to work. " Today we have nothing that we need to do. We can have tea and do what we do best." I tell them as we share our thoughts about the day over a breakfast of croissants and jam. We finished our meal,a down exited the dinning hall. We broke off into pairs, I left with Kenna. Kenna and I went to her chambers for a few minutes to prepare for our day of tea and gossip. " So what happened to you last night, why did you let us all leave early? Did we do something?" " Kenna asks as she grabs a shawl to keep her warm while she has a chill. " No, none of you did nothing wrong. I am just wondering when I will be with child. Lola and Francis are walking around beaming about having a child. Lola growing bigger everyday. Getting closer to having their child, parading the child through the castle. I need heirs for Scotland and for France as well. But in a few days I should find out if I am indeed with child. " I say to Kenna and she understands. I feel bad for her and Grier, they have no men in their life to relate to these issues. I want them to find love like me and Lola, we were the lucky ones. "So you and Bash had sex last night .. Is that what you are leading to?" Because you should, you are married ? That's what married people do. I wish I was married." Kenna says with a sad look in her face. My face goes bright red on the other hand as soon as she mentioned sex. I know that's what we did but the term seems so blatant, so rude. I would prefer the lady like version of "making love" but who cares about what I think right now. " yes, that was what I was referring to. You don't have to be so blatant about it. We have been trying to conceive for months, if shouldn't be this hard to have a child. Especially since I had never been with anyone before I had married Bash. I thought that basically the first time I would make love with someone would be when I would get pregnant. I know have presumptions is not always the best thing but it is the truth. I should be able to carry a child. " I say with a worried look on my face. Why haven't I got pregnant yet. We make love often , so odds would be that I should have gotten pregnant by now. I just hope that I am so that I can have a child from France and Scotland.

Lola POV

I know that I shouldnt be such a complainer but, I think that for a few days I need to go to the country home we stay in occasionally. It will help me relax and get away from the stresses of French court. " Francis, why dont I go visit the country home we stayed at for those few weeks for a few days. To relax, and destress before I give birth. I am starting to feel anxious about the birth. Maybe a few days away form the castle will be good for me. " I say as I walk with him rubbing my swollen stomach. I love my belly like this but I can't wait to meet the baby that I already love so much. " Yes, you should do that I can ask Bash to relieve me from my post for a few days so we can go together. Unless you want to go alone which is fine with me. I can catch up with you ifI am needed here for a few days. These moments here with you remind me of what truly matters." Francis says as he kisses me." I will send word when Im there. I love you so much. These few days may be torture without you but when we come back together it will be the best day of our lives." I tell him as I hug him goodbye. I love him so much. These small moments are the best. So soon after that special moment with Francis, I went back to our shared chambers and had a few of my ladies pack y things. All of my clothing has changed to suit my belly that is ever growing. Soon enough everything I was going to need was packed and I took a carriage off to the house we had spent those few weeks, learning everything about each other.

Bash POV

I have received word that there are the english at Callie. The english want a war, that is something no one is prepared for. France is not stable right now for the horrors that war will bring. With the death of Henry, the eyes of the world are watching me and Mary, to see if we could produce an heir. With this war quickly approaching, I need to recruit men and teenage boys how are ready to fight.
