Catherine Willoughby's bedchamber

The servant informed Sabrina that Duchess of Suffolk, may be going into the labor, and she hurried quickly to her chambers, knocking softly to let her in.

You may enter Sabrina but let no one else in I think the placenta has become unattached again so much pain and blood I can feel it but do not want to look Catherine was on her knees she didn't want Charles near her

Sabrina entered the room and closed the door behind her. ''Your Grace, don't be frighten I'm here now. Let me help you to the bed so I can examine you.'' She said with tenderness as she went to Catherine.

Victoria heard about the news, so she ran "Everything is going to be alright, Catherine" she said as she grabbed a cool and wet cloth and squeezed the extra water "all you need to do is breathe." she puts the cloth on Catherine's forehead

Catherine grabbed hold of Victoria hand laying on here back so Sabrina may examine her. It doesn't hurt but my baby is to early Sabrina Catherine was very grateful to Victoria for being here Victoria I am grateful you are here very don't leave my side until I need your farther

Victoria looks at Catherine "of course I will be at your side." she rubs her back "a woman in your kind of condition needs someone by her side."

Sabrina smiled to lady Victoria and then turned her attention once more to Catherine. Everything shall be fine, your grace. You just need to breath. She assured her. She could see that Catherine's water was broke. Your grace your baby is ready to be born. Do you feel contractions?

Catherine looked at Sabrina shocked. Just an immense amount of preasure in my lower back. Is that normal Victoria. Now Catherine wished she had Charles here

"Charles saw Catherine leaving the Chapel suddenly, followed by the midwife. He rushed into her room to see what was happening. Once entered, he saw Catherine screaming on bed. With quick steps he reached the bed and hold tightly her hand. She was giving birth"

Catherine...my love. I'm here. Everything will be alright...

"He kissed her forehead and looked at Sabrina"

I thought it was too early. Is this normal?

"Each pain is different for every person." Victoria holds Catherine's hand just in case she needs to squeeze it later "All you need to do is push for a few seconds every time the midwife asks you to. Trust me, the pain is going to be worth it when you see your child"

Sabrina ordered to ladies to bring the hot water and towels, then looked at both of them. Both of you've no need to worry, it's quite normal... I'll examine you now and you might feel a slight pressure. She inserted her fingers into Catherine's womanhood and pressed on her stomach. The duchess was fully dilated, and the baby was ready to come down into the birth canal. She was small in the pelvic region and would need some help and Sabrina could see that this was going to be hard delivery.

"Charles nodded after Sabrina's words and looked at Victoria"

Thank you for being here, darling...

"He whispered, still holding Catherine's hand"

Victoria smiles and nods at her father while she comforts Catherine "Are you ready for this, Catherine?"

Catherine looked at them all shocked at first. Ok I can give birth Catherine declared in a hysterical laugh looking at Sabrina holding Victorias' hand gently Charles with a firm grip. She wondered if their was any opium to be had.

Sabrina looked at the duchess. Okay, your grace, I want you to push as had as you can. She said.

"Charles looked at Catherine. He smiled and kissed deeply her hand"

Come on...a little effort and you'll be mother, my love...

"He whispered, glancing at the midwife to be sure that everything was alright"

Catherine pushed down until all the veins in her face started to hurt clutching at Charles hand tightly she relaxed her head back onto the pillow.

''That's it, you're doing just great...'' Sabrina could now see baby's head. ''Your Grace, I need you to push once more for me, and your baby will be born.''

Victoria wipes the drops of sweat from Catherine's head with a wet cloth as she rubs her arm with comfort "The pain is almost over. You just have to deal with it one last time."

Catherine resisted this pain did not feel normal it made her want to bend over in stitches whilst in went running up her back. Pressing herself up by her elbows she looked at Sabrina How small will my baby be

"Charles caressed her hairs"

Calm down, my love. The baby will be perfectly healthy. Right?

"He asked, looking at Sabrina"

Sabrina looked at them both as she thought for a moment how to answer on their questions. In most cases the baby was healthy but there was cases where baby was to small and weak. But there was no need to frighten them so she said reassuringly, The baby will be very healthy... Please your grace, I really need you to push right now.

Catherine gave one last final push but she could barely feel anything coming out she quickly gestured for Victoria to leave this was to personal for Catherine and Charles

The baby came out into Sabrina's waiting hands and she sucked the mucus from the baby's nose and mouth with the little syringe she'd brought, and the baby began to wail. It's a boy. She announced as she tied off and cut the cord. It was a very tiny baby with a yellowish skin which sometimes happen with babies who are born early.

"Charles looked at the small creature in Sabrina's arms. He felt astonished but absolutely happy at the same time"

My son...I have another son...

"He repeated giggling and kissed Catherine's forehead"
