The lives inside French Court ( A Reign Fanfiction)

Chapter 21: A family is born

Francis POV

I rode all afternoon, finding his house by the mill is much harder then I expected. I hope Lola is ok, she is safe and healthy. I wish I could be with her, in this moment. Then I see it over the horizon, the house where Lola is. " HEYAH" I say and the horse turns the gallop into a run. I need to see Lola, if it is the last thing that I do. She is the love of my life, without her nothing will ever be right. Mother will furious with the birth being outside castle walls but it suddenly happened.

Mary POV

I hope Lola is safe, I need her at court. She is my confidant, she keeps me sane in this crazy place that I can forever call home. Now she is a mother, and a wife. She will have a name for her child, a title and lands. My friend is going to have a family, something we talked about as young girls. A moment, a lifetime away now that I think about it. But my duty now is to the people of Scotland and France. Each need me like a child. "Mary, where is Francis? I was going to meet him after our duties here."Bash asks me. "I got word from Lola, she is having the baby. I ran to Francis told him and before I knew it he was off.Off to find her and bring her back, to this castle with their child. I am excited to see Lola again. She is my friend, my sister even in how close we are. This child will be in our lives Bash, as our niece or nephew. I have moved on from the horrors of the end of the engagement that was set since we were six. But he found love with Lola, its better then a ladies maid." I tell Bash as we sit on the throne together side by side. " When we are done our duties today, we will meet in our quarters. We have some business to attend to. " Bash tells me under his breath so no guards can hear him. I can't wait, I have waited a month what can be only a few more minutes in this throne room. " Your Majesties, Queen Mother Catherine. " An attending guard said. " Catherine, what do you need from us?" Bash asks confused. " I am hear to ask about my son, your half brother Francis. Where is he?" Catherine asks back with some attitude in her voice. " Francis is with Lola, she was on her way back to the castle when she went into labour. She wrote to me, telling me her whereabouts and I sent Francis after her." I say with confidence in my voice. Catherine still holds a judgement over me, I am queen but have no heirs or evidence of one on the way. While her legitimate son, is married and is having a child. " You are telling me that soon enough my grandchild will be in this world. Born in a home, with no maids or a midwife. I will have a talk with them. " Catherine says as she storms out of the room. I can only wait until the day she finds out I'm with child. Which may be closer than she thinks.

Lola POV

I have been in pain for hours, with no signs of relief yet. I just want Francis here with me, to keep me sane. Every moment of this hurts like hell, but I know that it is for a good reason. I will see my child very soon. " Lola, I know this hurts but very soon you will meet your child. I need fetch the water and a few blankets am just across the room." Mia, the women helping me tells me. " Ok," I say breathlessly. I dont know how long I can wait until I have to push but I know I will not be able to last much longer. I hear the door open and mia ask someone who they are. Then I hear the familiar voice that I cringed to want to hear again, again. It was Francis, he found me. He is here. " Lola, Im here" He says running over to my bedside and kisses me. The kiss deepens but then the pain intensifies and he immediately grabs my hand and I feel comfort. I can do this. " Alright Lola, its time this chid is ready to meet you. Push" Mia says and the overwhelming pain rushes over my body but I know that it is for the right reason. Within a few moments, I felt a relief and took a breath. I heard a cry. " Its a boy, you have a son." Mia tells us and hands me my child. " A boy, a son. We have a son," I say with tears in my eyes to Francis. " I know, he is right here. He is perfect in every way, just like his mother." Francis tells me as he looks at me with tears in his eyes and kisses me again. I can't believe this moment is finally here. I now have this family that I was meant to have. But the moment fades fast, "we need to get back to French Court, we can't be here without any protection. If you are able to move we need to go." Francis tells me under his breath trying not to make it obvious that he is not comfortable here. I get up and carry my new son over to Mia and than her for everything that she has done for me. I needed to go , so Francis collected a blanket for me and we saw the horse Francis rode. " I was only able to get this, to ride out on. I know this will be uncomfortable but.." Francis tells me. " It is not my first choice but if it is the only way to get back to the castle, we have to use it. " I then climb onto the horse with my minutes hold son in my arm. Francis climbs on in front of me, I then wrap my left arm around him to hold on. Looking down at my son, seeing him sleeping. His face is so innocent , so new like nothing matters. " You ready? I will go slow for now until you get comfortable." Francis asks me. " Ready" I say as I kiss him back of his head and place my chin on his shoulder. We are headed home not just as Lola and Francis , but as a Family.

The video is sort of related to the storyline of the show but it is also a fun video. It is not mine btw.
