Six The Musical One Shot

"What am I meant to do?" She whispered in pain. "How am I meant to tell him that I'm pregnant?"

Jane had been your dearest friend for many years and the two of you confided everything each other, to the point where you had gone to her to tell her about being pregnant with all three of your children before telling your husband. It was only fair now that Jane would tell you that she was pregnant with the King's third legitimate child, even though it was her first. Her situation was far more complex than your own though. You were in love with your husband, luckily able to pick your marriage and have a loving family, Jane however was married to the King as his third wife.

"You can just tell him, Jane," you offered. "He will be happy that you're pregnant, he'll only be upset if you keep it from him. It seems like it is best to keep him from showing his temper unnecessarily."

She let out a sigh, running a hand through her blonde hair. "I know that he will be glad to have another heir, but I just fear that I might not bee able to offer him what he wants. I would be happy with a healthy child, regardless of if they are a boy or girl, but if it is another daughter, I fear his wrath."

You gave her a sympathetic look. Henry was an anger filled man and had got rid of his previous two wives in different ways, mainly due to them having daughters.

"That isn't something you need to worry about yet. Until the birth, he shall hold out hope for you to birth a son," you smiled, wanting to support her.

"But Y/N," she sighed. "I love Henry dearly, and I fear that he shall never love me unless I give him a son. I gear he will get rid of me as soon as he can if he has a third daughter, what if he makes me follow the fate of his second wife?"

Wrapping your arms around her, you wanted to make her feel better about everything, but you knew that it was far easier to think about that actually allow it to happen. Her husband was far more complex than a man whom could offer her pure happiness. You just hoped he would love her, because he had proved to not feel remotely attached to the previous two women he wed.

"Then I shall be your protection if such a thing arises," you stated. "I will make sure he cannot hurt you and that you had somewhere to go if things turn foul but until then, you can have your dream and hope it shall come true."

"I hope so," she whispered. "I hope so with all of my heart."
