Henry's pov
My plan was this. Christine sleeps with me and gives birth to a son if she does'nt do this her husband dies. Of course in return her and I become friends and no one will ever know about us or the baby but if Edward dies God forbid, then I will make shore that he will be my sucesser. I know this wont be easy but I have to try for myself and my country.
After I had explained all of this to Christine who first refused but when I mentioned her husband of course she had a change of heart.
"Will my husband know about this?" She asked trembeling.
"Not unless you chose to tell him. I promise no one will know I will make shore that your career and reparation is safe." I told her calmley Christine walked back and forth. She then stoped and looked at me. "I will tell my husband but what if it is a girl?" She asked nervously. I never thought of that. That just can't happen. "It wont come to that, you have a son shorley you can have another."
I told her more rudley than I wanted.
"It must happen quickly I might be getting asked to marry again even though I don't want to but it's my duty." I told her honestly, I don't know why I can speak so openly with her. It's like I have opened my heart to her and now I hope she does the same.
"Alright I'll do it, for my husband's life".
I could'nt help but to giggle. Perfect. "Good I will write to you soon good night." I told her and watched as she left. Then I started to cry. I know Jane would have been ashamed. But I need another son. I just have to pray that Christine will give me one or my new wife.
I just hope that God is on my side. He shore was'nt when I sat by my wife's death bed. Why did she have to die? She did everything as she promised, giving me the son I had been waithing for for more than 20 years time. And then she died. My one true wife, my one true love. I've lost my only love.
My sweet Jane.

Christine's pov
Oh my God what have I done?! Why did I agree to do this? Why could he not have just been my friend!?
Tomorrow I will tell Erik what I'm about to do. Oh I can already picture it. He will be furious. He will hate me for shore. But I think that if Erik were in my shoes he would have done the same thing to save me, either that or kill her. And I cannot kill the king! I would lose my head!
All the way home I kept thinking your dead. Erik will never agree to this I just hope he can understand. It is all to save his life. Perhaps even my own. I fear if it will be a girl or if I cannot please the king, will he kill me?
