The lives inside French Court ( A Reign Fanfiction)

Chapter22: Where are they?

Francis POV

My life has forever changed a few hours ago. I now have a son, a child that I am responsible for. I arrived in time to be with Lola thank god. Everything now is fine, we are on our way back to the castle. With a newborn in toe, which is ever so difficult. " Francis, I need water or I can't feed him." Lola tells me as our son starts to get restless. " There is a lake ahead that will give us fresh water. We will stop there." I tell her trying to reassure her everything will be alright. This ride back to the castle is hard for me let alone I dont know how Lola is handling it. We reach the lake to find other people there. '' Who are you men?" Francis asks the 5 men surrounding the lake. " Sir Louis of Conde, your majesty." A man who look familiar tells me. The name is familiar, then I remember Louis of Conde is a distant cousin. "What are you doing out in the forest? " Louis asks me as I grab a canteen out of the pocket attached to the satal. " We were out in the forest heading back to French court, my wife just gave birth. So we need so water if you would excuse us."I say as I walk past them and fill the canteen. " I think that since it is going to get dark soon we will need protection. If you help us e will reward you and your men. The crown will reward you. I will seek to it." I tell them as I pass the canteen to Lola. " We were going to set up camp for the night, you are welcome to stay with us. You are my family technically and we would love to serve the royal family in any way. " Conde says as he starts to unpack a carriage filled with supplies with tents and blankets. " Francis, I need some rest. Today took a lot out of me." Lola says as she looks at me with bags under her eyes. " I help her get off the horse. I then walk her over to under a tree and place a blanket. She lays back against the tree as I tie up our horse to the tree. " Weren't you going to marry Mary Queen of Scots?. Is Lady Lola a mistress?" Conde asks me because he wasn't informed about ow everything has changed. " I was engaged to Mary from when we were 6, she arrived to court. This engagement changed to save me, Mary ended up with Bash. But truth be told, I was never really fond of Mary. She was too headstrong for me, I fell for Lola the moment I saw her. We have been together since the engagement was over. We were married and Lola had our child." I tell Conde as I help him with the tents. "Wow, a lot of things have changed since I have heard from court. " Conde tells me. This situation is not ideal with Conde, but we need to have a rest and this is the best option.

Mary POV

Where are they? They should be back by now. I want them back here, so I know that they are safe. The village can hold things that people from court can't understand. Francis and Lola could be in grave danger, but I'm not going to worry Catherine with what I'm thinking. Right now I have to think about the people here at court. The people who look to me and Bash to lead their nation. " If thats all.." Bash asks a man who was asking about some entitled lands that he received from participating in the winning battle against England. " Yes your majesty. Thank you." He says and walks away. " Now, what was it that you were going to tell me. " Bash says as he looks over at me with lustful eyes. " Well, I think that this is a private affair. Something that needs to be spoken in the confines of our quarters. Must we retire my king. " I ask him back reciprocating the lust in my eyes. " Yes we shall." He says as he gets up and takes my hand. We then walk down the steps and out of the throne room. But before we could reach our quarters Catherine finds us. "Bash or Mary, have you heard from Lola or Francis? I am worried about them. I hope they are back soon, I need to have my eldest son since Henry gone." Catherine says with a frantic tone in her voice. " No Catherine, we haven't heard anything but if we do then we will have you informed. Now if you will excuse us." Bash reassures her. We continue back to our chambers, I open the door and Bash locks the door. "I have missed you so much." I tell him as I start to kiss him. "I thought about you everyday and night. I knew that I would see you again, that this would happen again." Bash says in between kisses. I then turn around and Bash undos the ribbons of my correst. He continues to kiss me on my neck and shoulders. I turn around and I take off his shirt. Which heats up the situation even more. I then get lifted into the air and have my legs around Bash. Showing off his manliness he carries me over to our bed, and laces me down and kisses me. This night, this moment is ours. " I love you Mary, truly I do." Bash says as he continues to kiss me down my front.

Lola POV

I am so tired, I have been up for hours. Giving birth also took a lot of me. All I want right now is my bed and some hot tea. But I know that the bed and tea are for tomorrow. I knew I should have stayed in the castle or came back when Francis and Bash went off to war. Then we wouldn't be in this mess. " Lola do you need anything. The tents and everything is set up for us. He even has a place to rest so your arms can have a break. Here I will help you up. " I say and take her arm and lead her to the tent Conde gave us to use for the night. " It looks very comfortable for what we could have had." I say walking over to the chair almost falling asleep. "Place him in here, you can nap. He will be fine."Francis tells me and I comply. Mostly because I am beyond exhausted, so I place him in a basket with a few blankets it in for comfort. " Lay next to me, please." I say wanting to feel my husbands touch again. " Of course, anything for my wife. I love you so much." Francis says as he kisses me. " I thought about you all the time when we were in battle. Thinking of you and our child. We are a family now, you me and him. Speaking of what are we going to name his little guy. " Francis asks me. " We have time let me sleep." I say and drift off to sleep.
