Victoria's POV:
It had been two months since the King had returned to my bed and he had been back frequently. I had already missed my monthly and I had wondered if I was to be pregnant again. If I am I will be most gleeful. I could give him a Duke of York or a princess.
I beckoned over Lady Natalie, to my seat "Natalie." I whispered as she lent down to my level. "Fetch the royal physician, but do it discreetly now please." I ordered. She nodded and strode out. "Ladies you have the next hour free to do as you wish, I would like to be alone so go about." I announced waving them off.
"Yes your Majesty." They said in unison, bowing and walking out the door. Soon after, Natalie walked back in with the royal physician, "Hello your Majesty, are you ill?" He asked. "I think I am with child and I would like you to check please." I asked "Of course your Majesty."
"Congratulations your Majesty, you are pregnant, one month along." He said joyfully. "Thank you very much, please do not inform the King I will do that" I said waving him away, he bowed and left the room. "Oh my word Natalie!" I said jumping up and hugging her. She hugged back excitedly. "Your with child Victoria!" She said twirling us both around.
"I will go tell the King now!" I announced running out of the room and down the empty halls. I heard Natalie's laugh from my chambers which caused me to laugh. Without waiting for the announcer I ran into the room and saw Henry sitting at his desk reading. "Henry!" I shouted gleefully. "Yes my love?" He questioned placing down his glasses and book.
"I am with child!" I blurted out twirling around his study. His mouth dropped as he instantly stood up. "Are you sure?" He questioned. "Yes the physician just checked me!" I said happily. He laughed loudly and grabbed, me spinning me. This had reminded me of when I had first told him, but now no английская шлюха (English whore), could ruin it.
"Love may I speak to you about a serious matter." Henry asked holding my hands in his. "Yes of course." I replied softly. "I have reopened the case of Anne Boleyn. I have reason to believe that Jane bewitched me into believing that Anne had committed treason and adultery." Henry said quietly.
I had always wondered if the Queen was guilty or innocent. But although I have never met her, I have met her daughter and believe that poor girl had to grow without a mother because of Jane. "If you find Jane guilty of this, what will come of her?" I questioned. "She will go out the same way Anne did. A beheading." Henry replied sternly.
To get away the gloomy mood Henry jumped up, "I must announce it to court!" Henry said releasing me, "I love you so much." He said kissing me softly on the lips. He ran out of the room. I laughed as I walked out and headed towards my sisters chambers, both her and Philip had decided to stay in England for the time being, so had my brother and his wife.
"Anna!" I yelled out happily as I entered the chambers. She had been sitting on her bed needle threading. "Hello sister!" She said jumping up. "I have good news!" I said softly. She tilted her head as I continued, "я с ребенком!" (I am with child !) I shouted out gleefully. " "Сестра, какие хорошие новости!" (Sister that is such good news!). She said jumping around.
"We may finally have a Duke of York!" I said excitedly. She giggled and grabbed my hands. "Sister you are amazing, your spot as Queen is secure, but a Duke of York would secure you forever no matter what." She said quietly. I nodded. "Let us pray it is a Duke." I remarked.
••• This chapter is shorter than my last few but that's okay. AlsoIincludedRussianlanguagebecause I feel like Idon'tembrace the Russian side of Victoria that much, I'm trying to include her Russian side more. Also if the wording is off I'm sorry I used Google translate.
