The Miscarriage of a son

Anne's POV:
It has been only ten hours since I lost the baby...the kings son, The king hasn't visited me since it happened he told me we would speak when I was well. I miscarried hours after I walked in on him and that wench Jane seymour. it broke my heart seeing him love her the way he loved me, maybe if I wasn't so upset or in such distress then I wouldn't have lost our son the son he desired and wanted so badly, oh if only he could give me one more chance ...it would be the golden world. But it was to late now I'm sure of it as last night he told me that God won't grant him any Male children, I spoke back telling him it wasn't all my fault but when he spoke back his voice was cold as ice as he had his back turned away from me breaking my heart only more.

He wouldn't be able to divorce me again it would be harder to do so after Katherine of Argon , that divorce took so long ... me and Henry have really been together for seven years and only married for three. If he can't divorce me he will kill me I just know it, The profesy is closer and it's becoming closer , The profesy that say a Queen of England shall be burned. After everything we were he would burn me even though our love was true has he forgotten all of that already? I know if I was to be burned he will take wench Jane Seymour in my place.... what if I got rid of her for good? Then maybe my life will be saved!

Henry's POV:
I was heartbroken as Anne lost our son, my heir to take the English throne. She said it was my fault because it broke her heart to see I loved others, when she walked in on me and Lady Jane seeing Anne get so upset all I could think about was calming her to save our baby but of course ...it failed. It really was my fault wasn't it ? Anne my wife and Queen she should know my only intentions of Jane was to make her my mistress but she continues to reject me just like Anne did before our marriage, Of course I still love Anne but I want an heir if Jane can give me a son i must make her my Queen and to do that i must find a way to take Anne's head....it wont be easy for my heart nor will it be easy to do but i shall do it. I will find a way I always do, i found a way to make Anne my wife so i can find a way to make our marriage annulled.

I asked for Jane to join me in my chambers privately so we could discuss the matter. I stood at the window looking out into my country , my kingdom, England when I heard the door open Jane being announced by my pager. I smiled  hearing her name as I then turned around to see Jane enter as my pager closed the door after her,  she curtsied at me her innocent eyes looking down at the ground. She wasn't Anne ...but she would do and I couldn't lie I did come to care for Jane I have no doubt it would become more.

"Lady Jane rise " I spoke out to her as I walked over kissing her hand, she looked up at me with her blue eyes giving me a soft smile.

"Your majesty asked to see me ?" She asked with a curious face making me sigh.

"Yes, you see lady Jane, Queen Anne has miscarriared it is not the first time this has happened Queen Anne is unable to give me a son so I've decided to take a new wife. " I looked at her straight in the eyes will all seriousness before speaking once more "Lady Jane will you do the honour of becoming my wife and the new Queen of England  and give me a son to rule all of England like I desire?"

Jane looked at me her eyes filled with sadness once hearing Anne lost the baby she knew it was our fault , as I saw guilt there in her eyes too as Queen she will need to learn to hide her emotions like Anne does rather well , she then looks at me surprised when I ask her to become my Queen.

"You want me to be Queen instead of her?" She asked as i nodded placing two hands on her cheek giving her a soft smile.

"Yes"

Anne's POV:
My father came to see me in my chambers looking worried and frightened knowing this has put our family at a very big risk of losing everything we have been working hard for and planning, he looked at me coldly and angrily.

"You realise if he can't divorce you he will have you killed,  he will make it seem like you have committed some kind of treason to do so that will be easy as there are so many rumours at court of you ! Witch craft  and Adultry " he spoke angrily as he paced back and forth.

"All rumours that aren't true. I know where this puts us father I love him I would like him to remain my husband and mine! For that to happen I need to keep my head on my neck."I replied to him he snapped his head in my direction.

"Yes exactly. He can torture people into saying whatever he wishes  and if someone at this court hates you they may testify against you! Think Anne for heavens sake our family is in danger as your life is." He told me as his blue eyes looked Into mine.

"I know! But father I have thought this through. Think about it , his attention will be else where looking for a way to get rid of me we have a chance to get rid of Jane Seymour for good, you and I both know she will be responsible for our downfall  as we will be hers." I spoke sparking an interest  in him.

"So you want to get her  far away from court? " he asked arching a brow at me as he wondered if that's what I meant and how I could pull such a thing off, I shook my head at his question.

"No father. We kill her like she killed my baby, my son, Henry's heir." He smirked at my statement before replying.

"Sounds like a plan" he smirked
