Francis POV

I hope that Lola has received my letter. She deserves to know what is going on at court. She is the love of my life and I have to go into war at the worst point in our lives. When she is about to give birth to our child, I am scared for her. I know that I'm going to come back to her but her thinking i might now freaks me out. Our lives just started together, I dont want to leave her alone. She needs to go back to french court if anything happens. She and the child will be protected from the harsh realities of being married into a royal blood line and having royal blood in your veins. My mind is racing with all of these thoughts while I try to say goodbye to Mary, Kenna and Grier before mounting the horse to ride with Bash. " Promise me, all of you that you will contact Lola and tell her to come back if anything happens. She will be happy here. The child will grow up with people that love him and have fawned memories of me. Not growing up up with people they dont know. I am thinking way too deep into this whole thing. Everything will work out and we will come back fine. " Ready brother?" Bash asks me as we start on the journey to callie. " As ready as I can be with a war approaching and my wife about to give birth." I say as we start a journey to our potential boom.

Mary POV

I now am in the castle with Catherine as my second hand ruler. She has standing when Bash is gone and every other time after that. I know that she doesn't particularly like me especially since Lola is giving her a grandchild and I'm not. I hope that one day I can have a child for me and Bash. It strengthens our rule as well as creates a line for the both of us. If I dont produce an heir and Bash dies the line of sucession reverts back Francis and Lola with their chid being third in line. I dont want that to happen but if it does then it was meant to be and i can't change it. Francis telling us that he wants Lola to back to court if anything happens is valid. I am going to send letters to Lola and make sure she comes back. French court is the safest place for the child when it born because there is going to be a price on the childs head forever. The child will have guards and people around them that love them. I dont want that for Lola. I may have not liked when she first was courting Francis behind my back, but she doesn't deserve to lose the person she loves because of a war that the English have created. I have to write to her because she needs to know that I will protect her if anything god forbid happens.I walk over to the table and pick up the feather and start writing. " Lola, I am writing you because I know that you are aware of the impending war that both of our husbands are going to be involved in. If anything happens, you need to know that French Court will protect you and your child with Francis. Your child has Royal blood in their veins so they will be safe at court. You need people that love you and protect you. I hope that i will see you again one day. Even if you decided to not come back to French court, I hope that I can visit you and your child. Missing my friend, Mary" I finish the letter and stamp it. " Have this delivered to Lady Lola, and sent it urgently." I say to the attending servant. I hope that Lola receives this letter and takes everything to heart and comes back to court. I miss her here at court. I have a close relationship with Lola because she is my best friend, we may have had a few bumps in the road. But we are smooth sailing for now, until she brings their child back to court. I just hope that seeing the baby won't stur up emotions of anger and sadness inside me.

Lola POV

My journey here was smooth sailing which is amazing.  I have been at the cottage for a few days now and I have never been so relaxed. Everyday my belly grows and it makes me wonder what our child look like. Do they look like Francis? Or will they look like me? Ethier way, this child will be loved no matter what. I just received Francis's letter and I start to cry. How could this have happened? France has to go to war against England and I may lose my husband because of it. Why did this have to happen? All of these thoughts run through my mind while finishing the letter. Ever since I say Francis the first time that I met him everything changed in my life. Our marriage was a quick one but I wouldn't change a thing about it. I know that I have to go back to court when Im ready. I am not ready though, I need more time to relax and collect my thoughts about French court to make my arrival back much more beneficial. " Lady Lola, do you need anything?" A servant asks me as they walk into the room I'm sitting in. " No, Im alright for now. " I say as I look down at my swollen stomach and put my hand on it. " Im scared about the future with your father going off to a war that he has to fight with your uncle. But having you in my life in a few weeks will be one of the single most amazing joy in my life. I will protect you with my life forever. You are my child and I will love you until the day that I die. I hope that your father will get to meet you because he is so excited to meet you. He loves you so much." I say to my bump as I rub my belly. I then sit up and walk to the window and see the snow melting, signalling the spring is coming which will bring new life to court and to France. I hope that I will see Francis again because when I do I dont know  how I will react.
