Chapter 7: News for the royal family
Hello guys! English, it is not my motherly language, I'm French so I apologize if there are some mistakes. Don't hesitate to tell me where they are so that I can improve.

This is my first full length fiction, with chapters, I hope it will please you. It is a AU where Katherine Howard does not marry Henry and where Cromwell is spared. Instead of katherine, Henry marries a french noble lady, on the advice of Cromwell.

I hope my little story will please you..

Sincerely
Marina Ka-Fai

The French Bride

Chapter 7: News for the royal family

' Your Majesty' everyone said while Marina was running to find her husband on this beloved day.

She was certain of her. Her heart was beating happily to this thought. Henry did not expect to find her while he was leading a reunion of his lords. All surprised, they got up to welcome her. The king took her to a place they could discuss.

' Marina, are you silly?'

' Silly beacuse happy Henry! I am carrying your child!'

Henry had a moment of blank. Then he realized. Marina was pregnant. He knew it was the day his daughter was celebrating her birthday. His queen was carrying the future Duke or York. He kissed her with love and smiled.

' I am sorry, I made you angry but I had to tell you. I have just learnt the new.'

' How can I be angry now? This is marvellous!'

' It seems the child was concieved around Christmas. Our children I should say.'

Henry did not understand. Their children.

' The physicians said it was certain we concieved twins. They even think of triplets, but it is not certain thought about this third child.'

The king never felt so young in ages. He was going to be a father again, thanks to a marvellous wife.

' Do I have your permission to tell our children?'

' Of course! And I will write to Francis, to ask him to be the godfather of one of these marvellous gifts from God. I will make a new alliance with him.'

' As for the godmothers, I was thinking of Elizabeth and Lady Anne of Cleves. Lady Howard if we have a third child.'

Henry nodded.

' Now, you should go and rest. Do not tire yourself.'

Marina smiled and she went out. Mentally, Henry thanked God for this happy marriage, fo this happy day. He would announce the good new to court later, he did not want to spoli Mary's party. He thought of her, and of the gift he was thinking for her. This was just perfect.

In Marina's rooms, it was only joy and happiness. The queen recieved visits from her children to congratulate her. Katherine was so happy for Marina! She cried tears of joy when she learnt the new. Ursula was actually smiling and she secretly hoped that she would be soon pregnant, since she was not a Missledon anymore but a Bryan.

' I am going to be a father! Marina and I concieved twins! It is also possible that we will have triplets! This marriage is trully a goft of God! Peace in my family, peace with my health, a young and beautiful wife!'
