Chapter Seventy-Five: Time Skip

Queen Isabella

May 3rd, 1542

I sat in my bed and watched as Kenna, Lola, Aylee, and Greer moved around the room and opened some of the curtains to let a little bit of sunlight and air in the room.

For the past months, I have been trapped in this room in confinement before I suffered a miscarriage.

Henry has kept to his promise and has visited me for every single meal and once before I fell asleep.

"What do you want to do today Bella?" Greer asked and I stared at her.

"I want to get out this room Greer but I can't do that until this child gets out of me." I hissed and Kenna chuckled softly.

"When is this babe supposed to come?"

"Any day now," I whispered as I heard Catherine's voice in the back of my head. My child will survive but there was a chance I would not.

"Are you alright Bella?" Aylee asked as she helped me sit up and my hand went to my belly and I felt the babe moving around.

"Just thinking. I know it is only one babe growing in here but I wonder what it is." I said and Lola smiled.

"You already have the next Queen of Denmark along with the next Duke of York. Hopefully a Queen for Norway." She said and I smiled softly at her.

The door opened and in came Henry. The girls bowed their heads to him before the walked out of my bedchamber and into my sitting room.

"Will you allow them to let me walk to my sitting room?" I asked as Harry walked beside me.

"No. You must stay in bed until you give birth. I know you hate it but I almost lost you the last two times you have given birth." He said and I shot him a look.

"Yes well. If I die this time you have another lined up all ready to take my place." I hissed before I closed my eyes and inhaled softly.

"Bella. I know you are so tired of being in this room. But once you give birth you can breathe the fresh air again." He whispered and I felt the tears flowing down my face.

"Henry! I haven't even seen my children! You will not let them see me like this!" I cried out and Henry sent me a sad smile.

"You do realize how terrified both Edward and Elizabeth were when you gave birth to Arthur and when was murdered. Imagine if you died, they would not be able to bear that thought." He said before he stood up.

"Bella I love you more than anything. I don't even want to think of you dying. Please just stay in bed until you give birth." He begged me and I stared at him for a moment before sighing.

"Fine. Then leave. I don't need to keep begging you if you won't listen. I am losing my mind in here but you can care less." I hissed and Henry stared at me for a moment before nodding. He bent down and pressed a kiss to my forehead.

"Know I love you, Bella. I am doing this so I do not lose you. I cannot lose you." He said before he turned out of his heel and walked out of my bedchamber.

"But you will Henry," I whispered before the door opened again and in came Greer.

"Here, have your snack. Would you like your prayer beads and bible?" She asked and I nodded as I pushed the covers away from me.

"May I ask something of you, Greer?" I questioned and Greer nodded as she handed me my bowl of grapes and goblet of water.

"Of course you can Bella." She said and I cleared my throat as I felt my hands shake.

"If I die during this birth and my child lives. You will take Amelia to Denmark and be her regent until she turns sixteen and can become Queen." I said so fast earning her to drop my prayer beads which caused them to break.

"Bella! You will not die!" She cried out and I stared at her.

"I almost died with the twins and I began bleeding with Arthur. Then with this little one, I almost miscarried." I began as I reached my hand out to her.

"Jeg mister ikke min bedste ven Bella." (I will not lose my best friend Bella.) She whispered and I smiled softly at her.

"Jeg har ingen kontrol. Hvis det er hans vilje, skal jeg dø." (I have no control. If it is his will then I shall die.) I whispered as I held her hand and squeezed.

"Du har været den fineste dame, en dronning kan ønske sig." (You have been the finest lady a Queen can wish for.) I said as the door opened and in came my other three ladies.

"Is something wrong? What happened to your beads?" Lola asked as she rushed to pick up the beads.

"Greer dropped them by accident. I will write to the Archbishop and ask for another." I started as I went to sit up before a pain washed over me.

"Oh, God!" I cried out and all four ladies turned to me.

"Bella? Bella, what is it?" Greer asked as she stepped up to me. But before I could say anything the pain washed over me again and I felt the water flow down my legs.

"My water. I believe it just broke." I whispered before the pain came again and Greer rushed to my side.

"She is in labor! Someone fetch the physician! And tell His Majesty!" She ordered and Kenna nodded as she rushed out of the room and dragged Lola with her.

"Aylee! Get the towels, bowls of water, and other things we already set up! We have prepared for this." Greer said as she helped me sit up and take my vest off of me.

"Bella! Bella keep your eyes open."

"Jeg ønsker ikke at dø." (I do not wish to die.) I whispered and Greer smiled at me.

"I won't let you."
