It’s a Girl

"For I have the most beautiful Woman in the Kingdom." My father bragged about having the most beautiful in the Kingdom to a lot of men, and a lot of women. He was proud of my mother, as much as I was.

"And I the handsomest, kindest, most loving man." And my father continuing the lovely sentence. "Who has just been made Treasurer!"

"Richard!" My mother was just as shocked as I was when I heard the word Treasurer.

"Then Warwick's uncle has been set aside?" I though this was awesome news, If Warwick's uncle was still treasurer, then he had all access to the palace money. This gives Warwick an advantage, but now we have snatched it out of his reach. Perhaps Edward has found out about Warwick's scheming behind his back.

"Edward is unhappy with him over France." But I though Edward had been fine with it. He told me and Antony right in our faces that he was only plotting for himself. But now he seemed to be quite offended by it, why doesn't my husband tell me these things.

"And Antony has Admiralty of the Fleet. And Lionel will be Bishop as he's always wanted." Just with all that excitement, I started feeling a pain in my stomach. "Richard!"

"Yes, I'll go fetch the midwife." I was about to go into Labor, although it was nothing new to me. It was more scary now that I could possibly give birth to the next King Of England! "I think our first York prince wishes to Join the world."

"That's it push-push-push." I was In labor, and It had been a long time since I had experienced such pain. I guess our first York prince really does wishes to Join the world, only that it doesn't. I push and Push but he just doesn't wanna budge.

But now I believe My boy has decided to end my pain. My mother had been by my side the entire time and finally...the child had come out.

A child's cries filled the room. "Give him to me, Mary. I want to hold him." I had given birth to a heir for Edward and England.

Until "It's a girl, it's a girl" It's a girl!. Will Edward be mad? Will he leave me because I did not bear him a son. I grabbed her and looked at her, she was so beautiful. Even just as a baby, she looked like a queen already.

And that Little Baby did become Queen. She became the Mother of a New Dynasty. Elizabeth Of York was her name. But we shall not talk about her, not yet...

However what Elizabeth didn't know is what was happening with Edward. The panic that he fell into when he found out his wife was in labor. He ran as fast as he could to be there for her when she gave birth. And to see his little boy for the first time.

"Where is he!"

"The Queen is not ready yet." I rushed in, past the midwives, all I wanted to do was see my wife and son.

"I am King, and I want to see my son!"

I walked past them and I saw Elizabeth laying on the bed. Holding a baby in her hands. I didn't waste a single second and rushed to see my little boy. I stopped.

"It's a girl, Edward. It's a Girl." I can't say I wasn't disappointed, but I was not gonna treat my little girl differently just because I didn't expect her. Although I expect a boy, I got a girl. Now I have 2 beautiful girls in my life, and I will only wish for the first one to give me more to love. There will be boys, but I must be patient.
