Mary POV

Francis is at my side, while Nostradamus is seeing what's wrong with me. 

"Now Mary, I need to check down there, is that okay with you?" he asks me, I nod. He walks to the end of the bed and a maid hands him a sheet. He puts it on my lower side and lifts my dress up. then he starts going in. I can't feel anything down there, so I just look at Francis. 

After an hour, Nostradamus was finally done. 

"So, What's wrong?" I hear Francis ask and just then, I feel sick. "Francis! Chamber pot now!" I scream. He grabs it and holds it in front of my face and with his other hand, he holds back my hair. 

After five minutes of vomiting, Francis took the chamber pot away and a maid gave him a napkin and he wiped my face. "Francis?" I ask him. "Yes, Mary?" he asks me. "Can you lay down with me?" I ask. "Of course," he says. Francis picks me up in his arms and lays down, then lays me beside him and I rest my head on his chest. "You may go on Nostradamus." I hear Francis say. "Well, my King and Queen, the Queen is with child," he says, smiling. "Thank you, Nostradamus. You may go." Francis says and Nostradamus leaves. "Mary, I can't believe it!" Francis says to me. 

He leans down and kisses me on the lips. "I know, Francis. I just hope we have more than one." I say, smiling. 

"I hope so too, Mary. You look even more beautiful, Mary." Francis says while he plays with my hair. "Francis, when should we tell the people?" I ask him. "How about in a few days? I want to wait till you feel a little better and we can just have some time alone together," he tells me, I nod and snuggle him, then I fell asleep. 

Francis POV

I can't believe Mary's pregnant. 

She looks so beautiful when she sleeps and even more now that she's pregnant.

 She also is glowing. 

 I want to take her to Paris for a week or two, just us and our baby.

 I really do hope we'll have more than one baby together. 

I carefully and slowly get out of the bed, so I can talk with Bash, my mother, and Conde, so I can plan my vacation with Mary. I call Mary's ladies and have them watch her, while she's sleeping and told them to come and get me when she wakes up. I head down to my office and told my page to get my mother, Bash, and Conde to meet me here. After five minutes, they arrive. 

They all sit down and my mother asks me, "Why did you call for us Francis?" she asks. 

"Mary's with child!" I say with a giant smile on my face. "Oh, Francis, that's great," Bash says, coming up to me and giving me a hug. "Francis, I'm going to be a grandmother! I'm so happy!" my mother says to me, also giving me a hug. so did Conde. "Thank you. But I need to talk to you." I say. "Of course, Francis. What do you need?" Bash asks me. "Well, I want to take Mary to Paris, but I need someone here to look after the castle. So mother could you?" I asked. "Yes Francis, I would be delighted," she says and they all leave me.

After doing some paperwork, I head back to my beautiful Mary.

 When I enter, she's still asleep. 

I tell Mary's ladies 'thank you'and they leave. 

After an hour, Mary wakes up. I go up to the bed and give her a kiss. "Francis, It's almost time for dinner," she tells me. I call for her ladies and they help her get dressed, while I also get dressed too.

After we get dressed, her ladies leave and I help her get into her wheelchair

After we get dressed, her ladies leave and I help her get into her wheelchair. I grab her pillow and cover her up in a blanket. Leith meets us at the stairs and carries her wheelchair down, while I carry her down the stairs. I sit her back down and we head to the dining hall. 

When we enter, I push Mary to the table and before I sit down next to her, I kiss her on the cheek. 

After I sit down, I hold Mary's hand. After five minutes, the food comes out. "Mary? Sweetie? What would you like?" I ask her. "Can I just have some soup?" she asks me. "Of course," I tell her with a smile. 

After dinner, we start talking. I stand up and raise my glass. "I have an announcement to make," I say and everyone goes quiet. "Mary is with child! We're with child!" I say. Every cheers and clap. After, we go into the throne room and dance. "Mary, would you like to dance?" I ask her, putting my hand out. "Francis, I can't dance. I can barely even stand or walk," she tells me, getting mad. 

"Mary, just let me dance with you, please?" I ask her, begging her. "Fine," she tells me, with a sigh. I take her blanket off and lay it on a chair. I take my arms and wrap it around her waist, to support her. I lift her up gently and make her stand. "Oh, Francis!" she says, as she looks at me with a giant smile on her face. "Mary, just once I want to make you feel like you aren't paralyzed," I tell her and she just smiles and kisses me on the lips. 

Mary POV

I can't believe Francis did this for me.

 Making me actually dance with me standing and not in that wheelchair. 

Suddenly, I feel a pain in my back and I bend back. What is happening? "Francis! Francis, I'm scared!" I scream. I see everyone running and paying all their attention to me. I'm crying and my back is so painful. "Someone get Nostradamus!" I hear Francis scream. "Francis, if I don't make it try to save our baby," I say as darkness consumes me.
