Mary's pov
We woke up and we tried to make our selves presentable to go say goodbye and after we did then we retired to our chamber. The next morning, I woke up and Francis wasn't in bed again. I slid out of bed slowly but surely. I slid on one of my day dresses and I wanted to just crawl in a ball and cry but I didn't and I walked into the throne room. And there he was greeting the king of Italy. France was at war with Italy two years ago and Francis didn't want to try and aggravate the king so they talked politely for awhile. But things took a turn for the worst.
          
            They took over the castle.

"Francis they have the whole Castle surrounded. What are we going to do?" then Francis spoke quietly to me, "Mary go up to our room." he whispered to me.

    When I tried to go up there the kings men had stopped me and pushed me back down into my chair." Francis exclaimed, "don't push her!" the king was not surprised at his sudden out burst, but expected it to happen and he gave him an oh so creepy smile. "oh I plan to do much more than push her dear Francis." he pulled me close to his chest and I felt his hot breath whisper, "this is going to hurt." I shuddered with fear against him in disgust. He just gave me his sinister smile as he plunged his dagger into my stomach. I lurched forward in pain and shock as Francis lunged over to me and the king. I started to see double as I tried to fight the vision change. Francis growled out, "what have you done." I collapsed onto the tiled floor holding onto the table for an anchor. The king just laughed at my pain. Francis quickly sprung into action as he picked me up and took me to the infirmary. I was groaning in pain as shot me worried looks. He tried to give me comfort by saying, "everything is going to be okay." But It didn't work. I managed to choke out, "No it's not the baby is gone my baby is gone and I'm going to die. The worst part is I'm afraid of losing you." I started crying and all Francis could do was hold me. The black dots started to barge at my vision more aggressively. He took off my corset and I pulled at his hand and shook my head. But he didn't listen as he continued to wrapped the bandage around my stomach. This moment I just knew something was going to happen and I couldn't do anything to stop it. I looked over to him and turned his head to look straight into his eyes and said, "be happy for me. Promise me." That sent him over the edge. His tears fell on my lap and his movements to try and save me increased. Now he was full blown going hysterical as he repeated "No! No! You are going to live. You have to live. Remember all the things we were supposed to do? You HAVE to keep your eyes open." He was now in full hysterics as I reached my hand out to his cheek. I took in everything of his image and felt my hand drop from his cheek. With one last smile, the black dots won and took over as I blacked out.
Francis pov
I was in hysteria. I was shaking her body begging her to wake up. "You can't leave me. We were supposed to grow old and have children together... you just can't." I fell to my knees as I held her body close rocking her back and forth. I just continued to squeeze the hand she just used to touch my cheek. The doctor came in and said we could try something. He says it's a new technique to try and resuscitate someone. He says it was called CPR. (By the way I know that it wasn't invented yet.) he pressed on her chest multiple times and then he tilted her chin up and put his mouth over mouth while pinching her nose. Then continued on pressing her chest.
Mary's pov
It was like an invisible force was pushing me down as I struggled to open my eyes. With a couple of tries I thought it was useless, yet I refuse to give up with one last try I used all my power and I pried my eyes open only to shut them again because of the bright light. I instantly heard the sound of curtains shutting and I reopened them to find Francis next to me looking at me eyes filled with joy. When he finally came to terms with this his voice sounded husky as he said, "how do you feel?"
I looked at him and said "pretty good considering what happened."
I sat up with struggle, but still surprising me I could get up, but Francis instantly stopped me and said "no Mary don't get up you still are hurt." I immediately rebelled. "Francis I'm fine I can stand up by myself I want to go to the bathroom." so I left with Francis but before I left I realized that I wasn't dressed, so I I turned around and made myself presentable with something light on without a corset so there wouldn't be pressure on my stomach. After that then we left to the midwife. She was surprised to see us, but after I asked my question she understood. I started to tear up and touched my stomach and looked at Francis and started crying once again knowing the answer but it still hurt to hear the words again.
