Queen Isabella of Denmark was made queen on her fifth birthday when both of her parents were killed by a servant. She was trusted in the hands of Queen Catherine of Aragon and raised along with Lady Mary Tudor. Years have passed and the Queen of De...
I stood with Henry and Mary outside of the church waiting for Greer to come with Nicholas. Henry had sent word for everyone. Greer was married to a man who was murdered. She hid Nicholas so no one could know. Now that Nicholas is five months old Greer can be in the church with us.
"There she is," Mary said and I smiled as Greer stepped out the carriage with Nicholas in her arms.
"Are you ready? We all just have to walk in." Henry said and Greer nodded.
"Thank you for everything, your majesty. I did not want my son to be a bastard." Greer said and Henry nodded before wrapping his arm with mine.
"You are Isabella's closet friend. Anything for you." He said before the church doors opened and the four of us began our ways down the aisle. In two weeks I will be walking down the aisle of Westminster Abbey Church to marry Henry.
When we reached the top the Bishop shook our hands before turning to everyone else.
"Today we all join together to welcome Lord Nicholas Robert Charles Henry of Telemark to the lord and to join us as he gets older to worship with us." The Bishop said as Henry, Greer and I walked towards the water.
"Their Majesties King Henry of England and Queen Isabella of Denmark, Norward, and now England are to be the child's godparents. That if anything shall happen to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Telemark they will raise the child." The Bishop announced before stepping to Greer.
"May I?" He asked and Greer lowered her son into the Bishops arms before stepping near me. The Bishop brought Nicholas to the water and smiled.
"Nicholas Robert Charles Henry, from this day forward you shall be raised in the Anglican church. Your Majesties will you promise from this day forward to help raise the child in this church and help guide Duchess Greer with raising this child?"
"We do." Henry and I both said with a smile. The Bishop handed me Nicholas and I leaned him over the fountain as the Bishop poured the Holy Water over his head. Nicholas began to whimper and I smiled as I rocked him softly.
"Shh," I whispered as the Bishop finished and did the sign of the cross over Nicholas.
"God bless you, child." He said and we all smiled as everyone cheered for us.
"Can you still hold him? My arms need a break." Greer said and I nodded as we walked down the aisle and outside.
"He is so adorable," Mary said as she met up with us.
"You say that now but wait until you have your own," Greer said making me laugh as I bounced the little boy on my hip. I looked up and saw Henry staring at us before smiling.
"Well let us get into the carriages. Elizabeth and Edward must be going crazy wondering when we are coming back." I said as we all turned and walked to our carriages. When we all sat down Nicholas babbled for Henry.
Henry took him into his arms and smiled before tickling his chin.
"You are going to be a strong lad." He whispered before turning him around and placing him on his knee. I smiled at my future husband before starring out the carriage.
We arrived at the castle fifteen minutes later. Henry turned and handed me Nicholas before getting out. He waved to some of the people before offering his hand to me. I held Nicholas in one arm before climbing down. Mary and Greer climbed down before we all made our way into the castle.
"Momma!" Edward cried out and I handed Greer her son back before Edward jumped into mine.
"Oh mon doux petit garcon." (Oh my sweet little boy.) I said and Edward smiled.
"J'ai pratique la mama." ( I have practiced mama.) He said and Henry smiled.
"Good, the French come soon," Henry said before I placed Edward on the ground and hugged Elizabeth.
"Hello Elizabeth darling. Was Edward behaving?" I asked as I pressed a kiss to her forehead.
"Yes, mama. He had his acheary lesson and French." She explained and I smiled before Edward tickled Nicholas' chin.
"Will I have a little brother or sister?" He asked and I smiled.
"Possibly after the wedding," I said as I looked up at Henry and he smirked.
"Come Elizabeth. I have something for you." I said as I wrap my arm with Elizabeth's and began leading her towards my room. Greer and Nicholas followed after. The doors opened and I rushed Elizabeth inside and sat down.
"Bella?" She asked and I smiled.
"I know you have had a hard time since you're mother has died. I want you to know that I love you Elizabeth. I will be here for advice and when you need motherly love. I know you are only eight years old but I am here. And I have something for you to wear to the wedding." I said before my other ladies brought the dress out.

"Oh, I love it!" Elizabeth said as she stood up and hugged me.
"I showed your father and he approved it." I said and Elizabeth smiled. I saw tears in her eyes and wiped them.
"Though your father may not show the same love to you as he does your brother know that I love you."
A/N: Should I do a smutty chapter after the wedding?
