Anne's laying in chamber

Mary had heard from a midwife that her sister the Queen is in labor. She rushes to Anne's chamber as fast as her feet could carry her. As soon as she is let in, Mary goes to Anne "I am here, sister." She says as she sits beside her.

"I will."Mary says as she places a hand upon her sister's to acknowledge that she hass her word. Knowing her uncle can't always be trusted, Mary will make sure her sister's child will be raised by the right people.

So many names of nurses and midwives to memorize. Crossing her fingers that this one she is thinking of is in the ladies halls. "Lady Sabrina, It's time!!! shouts Mary as she partially walks to the door. She then returns to her sisters side.

I lay there in the bed and holding my sisters hand as I could now feel the pain as I knew the baby was coming.

"Mary it is coming where is Sabrina she should have been here already I trust no one else but her to deliver my baby hurry." I say to Mary as I puff some air and breathe out before another contraction happens and my grip on my sisters hand tightens.

Margaret came in Anne's room bringing some water. She noticed that the Queen was in labour and she was screaming. Anne's sister and some other ladies were with her. She came closer to her bed and took Anne's hand in hers "Your Majesty! We're here for you. Please, breath...breath deeply and everything will be alright.." She dried some sweat from Anne's forehead

Agostino rushed in the chamber and immediately approached the Queen. She was now ready to give birth

Your Majesty...the midwife can't come. So I'll help you to give birth your Prince. Just..do exactly what I tell you. First...breath deeply..you have strong contractions and I can already see your baby's head. So..it's time to push, Your Majesty. Push stronger than you can..

He said while washing carefully his hands

As I gripped by sisters hand I see firstly Margaret come with some water before I scream out again. As she taps my forehead I see Agostini come in and despite not wanting him there I had no choice.

He offers to help and i listened carefully to what he said. "Very well my lord I guess I will have to trust you with this" I say as I do as he says and then push as hard as I can screaming out again and then i take a breath before giving my all pushing as hard as I can. "Agggh!!!!" I scream taking Margaret's hand too.

Margaret was holding Anne's hand tightly. After she pushed, she could see the physician taking the baby and cutting the umbilical cord. After few seconds the baby cried loudly. She left for a moment Anne's hand to see the baby. Everyone in the room were silent. Finally she reached Anne again "Your Majesty! How do you feel? Your Majesty just gave birth to an healthy, beautiful girl.." She said, knowing that she could be disappointed, hoping to give birth a boy

Agostino put the baby in the Queen's arms

Your Princess...Your Majesty. She is perfectly healthy..

But he could notice the disappointment into her eyes

Wiping the sweat and stray hairs from her sister's face, Mary tells Anne"Your Majesty has delivered to a healthy baby girl." She smiles as she kisses her on the head

I regained my breath after a very tiring couple of hours then I see the physician holding my baby and as I waited to hold my child i hold Margaret's hand.

"I am feeling okay just very tired from this day Margaret but it pleases me to see that it is over. I say as she then informs me I have a healthy young girl and although I was disappointed at having a girl I was relieved that all had gone well. "A girl you say let me see her. I ask as I am handed my child by the physician.

"Thank you my good sir for your service today I shall remember this moment and please it would be best if you send word to his majesty of the news of the bay but I shall inform him myself of our daughter." I say to him seeing him bow and leave the room and I look at my sister. "Oh Mary I am upset of course that I did not give Henry a son but a healthy daughter to me is wonderful and I will treasure her. I say looking at my daughter in my arms.

Margaret put the baby girl in Anne's arms "That's a beautiful girl, Your Majesty. The King will be happy to meet his Princess.." She smiled

I smiled towards Henry as he entered.

"A son will follow Henry we have to be patient. Come Henry and see your daughter Elizabeth" I say signalling to my ladies to leave.

I smiled at Henry as seeing him made me happy.

"I lookforward to seeing you tonight Henry please don't be too upset many more children will come."I say to him as he is about to leave.
