Maria listened and she could tell how stressed he was. She breathed some “I can keep her safe and oblivious. I can’t guarantee that about this unborn child. I mean she fully collapsed. She’s not even six months along”she sighed gently and tried to keep calm.
“Jonahs starting to suspect me too..but Anna’s keeping me safe somewhat. I think she’s still fighting it..”she wanted him to have hope. “They may have her mind but not her heart”she bit her lip “I’ll see you..just don’t die..your her only hope”
she went up to the castle and stayed in the chamber. Anna was fast asleep most of the day. She was only awoken to eat dinner.
“Maria..do you think I’m a good mother?”she asked quietly as she watched Vincent sleep. “Your more hands on than other queens my lady..”
“Jonah says I’m good..”Anna hummed “but two kids might be a challenge”she rubbed her stomach before she thought she heard a noise. Maria hummed “Jonah has arranged a tournament tonight to celebrate. The men are fighting rather furiously in hopes of a girl”she lied.
