Francesca Monroe's bedchamber

I arrive at Hever Castle adn I must say that it is quite beautiful here. Such a quaint little castle on such beautifully landscaped grounds. My room is quite perfect.

Knocks on the door

I walk in with Mary to greet Francesca

Holds his hand shaking slightly

I open my door and see William and Mary waiting to see me. William!!!!! I run up and hug him. I have missed you so much!! Lady Mary, I want to thank you for letting me stay here at your home.

I curtsy it is fine your highness feeling embarssed slightly

I look at her a bit puzzled, Why the look Mary? Do I look funny? Do I have something in my teeth?? I laugh. I always try to make people happy and smile.

i apologise smiling just nervous about meeting you as I hold williams hand tighter

Francesca, I can see that you have not lost your sense of humor. I laugh loudly at her funny faces. Please tell me, what have you been up to lately?

There is no need to be nervous Mary. I prefer to be in the company of people who dont hold things over my head and doesnt treat me differently. I smile, suddenly it disappears. I am quite embarassed to say this to anyone but....I am with child by someone who doesnt care.

My mouth drops, Who is the father Fran? Tell me....I already know who it is but I wanna hear it from her own mouth.

Listens to William seeing the look in his eyes well am also pregnant but your welcome to stay here and we can help each other out but mine is still very early stages but the father is annoying me, I just wish he let me get on with it. Well since your your William friend we have our own news I say looking at her

I have been told, Mary, that we share the same father to our unborn children....I see the surprised look upon her face but I pay no mind. What is your great news? I would love to hear it. I say beaming...

Smiles yes I know I wish I never met him feeling angry and show it William here I say shaking his hand asked me to marry him, but you can not tell anyone as my family will go mad

I run up and hug Mary, Congratulations Mary. I am so happy for you and William. I step back to look at the happy couple. You guys look absolutely adorable and I promise that I shall not ever say a word to your family.

Hugs her back thank you, I shall leave you two alone as I just be in the way turning to William and kisses him good night my husband to be smiling

It was a pleasure to meet you Mary. I watch her walk away...

As I walk away with tears streaming down my face

Last night was the most wonderful sleep I have had in a long time. I eat some bread while in bed to curb my nauseousness before getting up for the day. My servants help me into a beautiful pink dress and I put on the earrings that Jasper gave me. I smile as I look at them. A happier time...

I enter the bedroom and gasp at how pretty it is. I make myself useful by cleaning and tidying...

I return to Francesca's chamber with a smile.

I walk in with Francis, looking at her quizzically. I have no idea what to do, what ot expect and I will admit that I am a bit frightened although I do not show it. What should I do for this?

"Don't fret,"I say soothingly,"If you lie down and I'll examine your tummy."

Oh Ok. I lay down on my plush, soft bed, anxiously waiting for her to examine me. I close my eyes as she feels on my stomach, trying to block out the slight pressure on my stomach. Opening my eyes, I see her smile, Whats the verdict? I say with a slight chuckle...
