Anna Stafford's bedchamber

"Charles opened his eyes bigger, almost unable to speak"

Another baby? Anna...I remind you that we already have five children. I love them all...but...And Catherine is with child right now. How could I think about another baby?

"He took a deep breath taking her hand in his"

You know how much I care for you, Anna. But our Maggie is still so little. I...I don't think it's a good idea. Forgive me...

She frowns taking her hand out from his and runs it through her hair "you think i'm not good enough? You think i can't haddle another baby?"

"Charles shook immediately his head"

Oh no...I think the opposite. You can maybe handle another baby. But I can't. I mean...my private life is already so complicated. Please, try to understand...

"He noticed she removed her hand and sighed deeply"

"Private life! God Charles how many woman are you seeing behind your wifes back?" she looks at you "i know you better then anyone "

"Charles looked at her again. An ironic giggle escaped from his mouth"

How many women? Anna...I don't have a mistress since a very long time! I promised to Catherine to be faithful. And now you ask me to have another baby while she is with child. Forgive me if this makes me confused...

"He rolled his eyes and took another deep breath"

She looked down and sighed "i'm glad your happy with her Charles ... But forgive me for being the jealous bitch who still lovea you" she took her goblet and finished the rest of her drink .

"Charles grabbed her arm before she could put down her glass"

You're not a bitch, Anna. Why can't you see my situation? Why can't you see how much I care for you and our children? It seems...impossible making you both happy. Whatever I do...I commit a mistake...

"He took a tired breath, without leaving her arm"

"I understand your situation you don't understand mine Charles you always make me happy you really do i've never been happier the way i've been with you" she looks at him .

"Your everything i am not your a good father and a good person Charles you take care of people before you take care of yourself and our little Charlie is doing the same he is following your footsteps , Catalina is happily married to her prince charming all of our children are happy because of you."

"Charles opened his eyes bigger again. He looked shocked at her"

Wait...Catalina did what? I...I knew nothing about that! Married with a prince? When? God...Anna! How could you hide such thing from me? She is still a child!

"He exclaimed standing up"

"Wait! she did not tell you?" she looked at you " i wasn't hiding i thought she told you because she told me herself that she did" she frowns .

"I wasn't invited to the wedding i didn't even know she had one until she told me about a few hours before you came."

"Charles shook his head, still frowning"

How could she hide this to me? To her father? I would never allow such thing...where is she?

"He asked, looking at Anna with confused and angry face"

She shrugged "as far as i know she is with him in her bedroom " she placed her hand on his arm .

"I only knew that because Sir Francis Weston seen them walk into the bedroom together kissing i am as angry as you are with her Charles ."

-Catalina walked back to her mothers room to see how her father and mother are doing he kocked on the door gentally - mother , father it's me Catalina is everything alright in there?

"Charles took a deep breath looking at Anna"

I'm not angry with you, my darling. Just...I can't understand...

"He had no time to finish his sentence when he heard someone knocking. He recognized Catalina's voice and looked at Anna again"

Come in, Catalina...we're here...

Anna sat on the edge of the bed she faced towards the door as Catalina walks in.

-Cat opened the door and walked in she smiled at her mother and father- i see there's no shouting or any blood spill -she chuckled- you two need smile a little more it's depressing when you both have the long face.

"Charles looked at his daughter with a serious face"

Catalina...we need to talk. You mother just told me...that you're married. With a Prince. Is it true?

"He asked frowning"

WHAT?! -she turns and looks at her mom- you told him ? -she looks at her dad- this is exactly why i never told you dad because i knew you would act like this i'm happy i love Philip and .... i am with child.

"Charles opened his mouth. He was going to say something, but he just took a deep breath rubbing his forehead"

You are...what?! Alright...I think I need to sit down, now. I'm not feeling well...

"He said with low voice, not knowing what to say"

"You told me you told your father about the marriage your swore that you were telling the truth on gods oath and...." she paused midway through the sentance when she heard Cat say she was pregnant.

"Catalina" she shook her head and " no....." she placed her head in her hands and sighed "how far gone are you?"

-She frowns - i'm sorry if i disgraced the family i just love him so much like you two did when you were together - she looked down at the floor and twiddled with her hands- i'm just a few weeks

"Charles looked at Anna. He sat next to her on bed and took her hand in his"

Catalina...your mother and I are very worried about you. We know nothing about this man. And you're still a child...

"He rolled his eyes, trying to calm down"

"Catalina who is this prince of yours? where does he live? where is he now? how old is he?" she looked up towards her.

"Your father is right we're very worried about you,your still our baby."

Mom ,dad there are younger girls out there getting married at the age of 7 okay i'm almost 16 years old his name is philip and he is the prince of Bavaria he is in his chamber .

"Charles frowned again"

I don't care what other girls do, Catalina! You're my daughter. I...I wished for you something better. I wanted you to lose your virtue a bit later. Not at so young age and with the first man you met!

"He took another breath, squeezing softly Anna's hand"
