Anna Stafford's bedchamber

"Charles nodded and stood up"

Very well. I'll talk with Catherine, then. Now...forgive me but I have to go. I'll come to see you and my princess later...

"He said smiling, looking at little Maggie"

Anna smiles. "Apology accepted. Hope you have a great day between now and later."

"Charles kissed her cheek deeply and brushed his hand against her cheek. Then he smiled warmly and left silently her room"

Anna heard the knock on her door and goes to open it, wearing a red gown with gorgeous pearls adorning her neck. She sees Catherine and curtsies. "Lady Catherine, thank you for coming. Please, come in!"

Anna tries to smile at Catherine, but is unable. "I see." She takes a long pause. "Well, do sit down and make yourself comfortable. Would you like some wine?"

Anna rushed back into bedroom and paced back and forth ... her eyes burned with tears that ushed down her cheeks. She finaly took a seat on the edge of her bed and cried.

-Cat walked up towards her mothers bedroom chamber . She knocked on the door and waited for her to answer, she heard her crying in there and frowns- mom answer the door i want to know if your okay.

She heard Catalina's voice on the other end of the door and chose to ignore her.

"Charles rushed to Anna's room and knocked at her door. He could hear her sobbing"

Anna...are you there? It's me, Charles! Please, open this door and talk to me...

"He said looking at Catalina"

Anna weeped while pacing up and down her bedroom.

"go away!" she shouted.

"Stop pretending you still care for me when i know you don't"

"Charles rolled his eyes, taking a deep breath. He really didn't know how to behave with Anna and Catherine"

Anna...please, don't be silly. Of course I care for you. Please, open the door and tell me what's happened...

"He answered behind the door"

Anna stomped towards the and opened it.

"You happened " she growled. Turning on her heel and walking away from him.

"Anna i do care for you" she mocked him. She turned to face him and frowned "how can you say that when your.... sleeping with another?"

"Charles turned towards Catalina when Anna opened the door"

Darling...go back to your room. It's everything alright. Your mom and I just need to talk alone...

"He caressed his daughter's cheek. And once she left them, he stepped into room and closed the door behind him"

Anna...you know my situation. I'm married with Catherine and...she is carrying my child. But I always cared for you and our children...

"Oh please" she looked away from him .

"What as she got that i haven't?" she sobbed out . "I gave you everyting you ever wanted Charles, my love, my faithness, a family. I love you ....i always will do. It's braking my heart that you love her and not me."

"Charles came closer and pulled her towards him. Holding her in his arms, he dried tears from her face"

Shh...don't cry, Anna. You know that I love you too. You gave me five beautiful and healthy children, and they are all my life. We're a family, and anyone can change that...

"He whispered caressing softly her cheek"

"It's just not the same anymore" she wraps her arms around him .

"Your not mine in your eyes, but i see differently you are mine you always have been . You just won't addmit it."

"Charles took a deep breath"

I'll be always here for you, Anna. But you have to understand that my situation is...rather complicated. I want to make everyone happy. So don't make things more difficult...

"He sighed holding her cheek in his hand"

She sighs and looks down. "oh Charles"

She moves away from him and walked to the window. "I've convinced myself to give up"

"Charles sighed and reached her at windowside"

To give up...what? You know you can always count on me...

"He whispered, leaning an hand on her arm"

"I'm giving up hope" she placed her hands on the window.

"I'm moving from court for a while so i can get my head sorted out" she looked at you "please tell our kids that i love them "

"Charles frowned"

Anna...you're just arrived. Do you want to leave me so soon? Please...

"He said whispering and removed softly her hairs back from her neck"

"I'm not leaving i just need some thinking time " she looked down.

"I envy her so much .... " she looks at you and softly strokes your face with her hand ." so beautiful" she whispered a painful smiled light up her face.

"I love you so much." she leans in and kisses your cheek.

"Charles sighed while she was kissing his cheek"

You're beautiful too. What's happened to my Anna? Sure of herself and who gets everything she wants?

"He asked leaning his hands on her hips"
