Catalina Brandon's bedchamber

-She smiles at him - i am more then ready my lord -she kisses him passionately - but first we need to tell my father i don't think he'll be very happy -she frowns at him-

-She nods her head- i agree with you i'm not ready to tell my father just yet ...i'm not ready for that lecture my mother will give me for losing my virtue . -she smiles- lets get married.

-She chuckles putting on a new dress and combing her hair since it was a mess after there love making she took his hand and walked with him ready for him to be hers.-

-She grins and helps him take off her clothes. She wrapd her arms around his waist and pulls him in to kiss his lips passionately-

-She kisses him back wildly her hands moving all over his naked body - Philip i am so glad i married you.

*********
"After talking with Philip and sent him back in Bavaria, Charles reached immediately Catalina's room. He knocked fastly at the door"

Catalina...are you there? Open the door, please...

-Catalina was shocked to hear how urgent her father wanted to speak to her she wrapped a robe around herself and answered the door slowly - father ? what is the matter? -she opened the door wider for him to come in.-

"Charles walked in with quick steps. He stopped and turned towards her"

Catalina...we need to talk. It's about...your marriage. And about the child you're carrying...

"He said immediately, looking at her"

-She looked at little confused at him- father none knows about my marriage and child ... what is wrong with having a baby with the person i love the most?

Dad what's going on? is there something wrong?

"Charles took a deep breath"

Catalina...I sent Philip back in Bavaria. This marriage must be annulled. And...about your pregnancy, you'll give birth in a secret place. Then I'll say that the baby is mine...that I had it from one of my mistresses. It's...the best choice. Trust me...

"He explained, trying to remain calm"

Please tell me your not serious? please tell me this is all a bad dream that when i wake up my hasband will be beside me . -she looked at him her breath catches as her eyes begin to pool- please tell me this isn't happening.

"Charles rolled his eyes and came closer. He leaned his hands on her shoulders"

Catalina...listen to me. How can you raise a baby when you're still a baby yourself? You will see the child, of course. But I can't allow that your reputation is ruined by that...Prince! My love...it's the best thing for everyone. Trust me...

"He said caressing her cheek"

Oh daddy -she started crying and wrapped her arms around him- i don't know what to do i want to keep it i really do but i know that i'm not ready yet and with Philip not being here it's just made everything even more crap -she sobbed into his chest- why did you banish him from court?

"Charles wrapped his arms around her"

Shh...don't cry, my love. I won't keep the baby far from you. We'll take care of it...it's my grandchild. But Philip is not the right man for you. A man who takes advantage of a girl's innocence...it's unworthy of your love...

"He said whispering, hoping to calm her down"

But he didn't take advantage of me -she looked up at him- i allowed him to make love to me because i love him as my lover and husband ! -she gets onto her knees as tears pool from her eyes-please father i beg you please don't do this to me . I love you and i trust you with all my heart but i want to keep the baby with me or send him to his father where he/she can grow being royal and happy.

"Charles made her raise slowly, holding tightly her shoulders"

Stand up, my love...everything will be solved. I promise you. We will find a solution together. Philip is in Bavaria, now. And you need to stay quite cause you're carrying a baby. Stop crying...

"He said drying her tears with his hand"

Father at least tell me why you sent Philip back to Bavaria? what did he do wrong that you disapprove of? - she sniffles-

"Charles took gently her face among his hands"

He should ask my permission before marrying you, my love. You know...I just want you to be happy. But with a worthy man at your side. With this secret marriage...he showed not to be a gentleman. And you deserve something better than this...

"He smiled and kissed softly her forehead"

Anna marched up to Catalina room ,as she got there she banged on the door loudly .

"Catalina it's mother open the door i want to know whats going on! you've been acting wierd all day and your father won't speak to me."
