The tears of a fallen Queen

Katherine's POV:
I sat i Anne's chambers my best friend with her ladies in waiting , letting her sleep the king's friend Charles came by and looked at me showing he wanted to speak to me, I stood up and walked over to him I curtseyed before speaking to him softly "your grace.".

"Lady Katherine. I see you have made yourself comfortable at court the king is happy to have you here as you have been a good friend to the King and Queen." Charles spoke politely as he stood tall as he bowed his head back at me in respect for me. I look up at him and smirked slightly at him as I was amused by his words.

"A friend to the Queen, I don't like the way your King is treating my friend your grace, he treats her so coldly when she remains devoted to him and loving also very loyal and faithful to his majesty." I stated testing him as I walked around the chambers as we spoke.

"Sorry if that upset you but what goes on between the King and Queen is between them only." Charles watched me walk around i could feel him look me up and down i walked over to him placing my hand on his chest.

"I see you watching me at court i have seen that look in many mens eye my Lord but I like a man that knows what he wants and can be straight forward about it " i smirked my brown eyes meeting his, he then leaned over and whispered softly.

"I want you to come to my bed tonight."

"I thought so but I'm afraid not. Now why did you come?" I asked stepping back.

"There's a ball tonight you shall help the Queen dress and make sure she attends."

"Of course. Now is that all?" I arched a brow at him.

"Yes Lady Katherine that is all." He bowed his head before taking his leave. I rolled my eyes at him and went to check on Anne closing the curtain behind me.

Anne was sitting up looking pale she looked at me weakly and smiled slightly, I walked over to her and sat at the edge of the bed sighing looking concerned at her.

"Anne you have a fever...you should be resting" I spoke softly, she looked at me with her weak blue eyes.

"Look at you ...worrying about me coming to court to save my life and marriage." She spoke softly sighing she took my hand into hers.

"If our plan fails and something happens to me make sure Elizabeth is taken care of, take her with you if you must raise her to know i love her and forbid her to forget it and teach her about life at court " Anne looked at me with a sad expressions worried for her daughter.

"Of course Anne. It will work though i promise you so stop talking like this." I sighed handing her water, Anne sipped her water slowly as George came through the curtain.

"You don't look well Anne..." George frowned and walked to the other side of her sitting by her.

"George.." Anne smiled weakly.

"George if you're back that means so is Jane...." I said looking at him wanting to know what happened in France, he sighed nodding.

"Yes....she easily gave her self to me." He stated , I smirked and looked at Anne she sighed looking down.

"Did you finish in her?" I asked , Anne looked at me surprised and George blushed.

"Yes....why?" He asked looking at me confused , I just gave him a smirk.

"Let's hope she becomes pregnant...." I look at him , Anne looked at George who was surprised by comment but stayed silent.

Later that night

Anne's POV:
Katherine helped me dress, I wasn't feeling very well I had heard Katherine speaking to George telling him thinking I would probably worsen and most likely die from this illness , I was nauseous, dizzy and tired the stress was officially affecting my body but I had to at least act well for the ball. I saw Jane by the king's side which bothered me as she looked beautiful and was talking to the pope smiling at them being Polite. Something wasn't right I looked at George worried but he was busy looking at Lady Jane who I saw look over at him and blush.

I sighed as the night went on the king didn't come speak to me once I expressed my worries to Katherine, she looked over at Charles who was speaking to Edward Seymour and Mr Cromwell.

"Something's wrong ..." Katherine spoke and looked at me worried, Charles looked over at her smiling bowing his head to her , Katherine smirked and looked at me.

"Wait here, I will find out what's going on." Katherine then walked to Charles I couldn't understand what they were saying to each other but from their body movements it was obviously flirtatious, I stood by the buffet table as i looked around that's when I saw George being held by the guards immeditaly striking fear into me, I looked over at Katherine seeing her being held by Charles looking me scared, I tried to walk over to them but George yelled out to me telling me to run. I looked at him confused as I looked around I saw Henry walking over to me and Guards coming from each direction.

As Henry came closer to me I could feel myself begin to feel dizzy again , the room began to spin it was hard to stay standing , I felt I'll to my stomach suddenly the room went dark and all i could feel was strong arms wrapped around me, I could hear Henry's voice close but distant, did he catch me?

Henry's POV:
As I began to head towards Anne she looked very pale , i saw her began to lose balance as she began to collapse I ran to her catching her before she fell to the ground her face pale , I shook her slightly while calling her name out as everyone in the ballroom stared at us I looked at the guards ordering them to get the physician to come to my chambers, I lifted Anne taking her to my chambers laying her on the bed watching her sleep , I stroked her cheek sighing suddenly feeling guilt.

The physician came as we all waited to find out what was wrong with her , i looked at Edward as he seemed rather pleased probably hoping she would die....a part of me did as well as it would mean i wouldn't have to kill her for a crime she wasn't guilty of , Charles sighed becoming impatient just then the doctor came outside as Katherine jumped to ask what was wrong with her.

"Nothing....I'm afraid the Queen is with child " he spoke surprising me completely and everyone around me suddenly I see a worried expression on Edwards face I knew it was mine immediately as I kept a close eye on her.

She was pregnant again...
