King Francis

“What will you possibly do with yourself once the baby is born?” Mary teased, a laugh on her lips, letting out a sigh as she tilted her head to give him better access. Once they had one child, she could only imagine how long it would be before Francis was attempting to ensure she was carrying another one. A family of their own, regardless of the heirs and security it would give to Scotland and France. Something seized in Mary’s heart at the thought of naming their son after her father. Her brother. “Francis,” she said softly, the fondness and love clear in her voice. “Do you mean it?”

“Well I will begin the daunting task of trying to give them a sibling as soon as possible,” Francis admitted with no shame. No, he was obsessed with his wife on a good day. Once he saw her round with their child? There would be nothing that compared to that. “If you think I’m too much now just you wait, Mary. I won’t be able to take my hands off of you.” That much he could assure her as his hands ran up to cup her cheeks between them as he truly looked at her as a smile slowly pulled across his face. “I absolutely mean it, Mary. We will have to think of names in the chance we have a daughter considering I doubt you would want to name her after either of our mothers, but we have time to think about that.”

The world can be dark, Mary, and uncertain and cruel. The only thing that matters is that we face it together. No matter what happens, you are my light.

Now come, sit with me.

Rumors still followed Lola. They weren’t as extreme as they had been once, especially not now that she was married. But every once in awhile, a visitor of court would whisper about how Lola must be the king’s mistress to have had a son with him. It was something she had to deal with, worse that one day John would have to hear stories for himself. All she could hope was that they would be able to tell him without making a mess of things, but she had faith. She and Francis had done a wonderful job sharing him so far, and with Mary, and he was loved and cherished and healthy. It was all she could want. “What?” Lola gasped, her hands flying to her mouth in surprise before she let out a laugh, kneeling down and letting her skirts fall around her as she situated beside their son on his other side. “Francis, that’s wonderful! You and Mary must be so thrilled!”

Francis knew that his friend’s life wasn’t perfect, and that was because of him. He tried what he could do for her to make things easier for her. Both Lola and his son deserved better than being under the court’s eyes, but he was too selfish to let them too far. Still though he felt the way his smile lit up as he nodded, “We are. I just thought he deserved to be the first person I told since it will be his brother or sister. I might just be selfish and be hoping for a boy though. Not for the whole heir thing, but because having Bash was everything to me as a child. I want this child and John to have the same bond. Not heir and bastard, but true brothers. I don’t care how the world views them, I care about how they view each other.”

Mary let out a happy laugh against her husband’s lips. A child with Francis was all she had wanted since they had gotten married - well, that wasn’t entirely true. They had official responsibilities as king and queen, but so far as their relationship and family went, Mary wanted them to have a child. She had been so worried she couldn’t provide that. “Have you ever been in control?” Mary asked with a teasing laugh, feeling the way her heart was swelling with joy. “I’m so happy, Francis. All this time and it’s finally happening.” 

“It’s going to be so much worse now though, moi amour,” he reminded his wife dropping his head to nuzzle against the bend in her neck where it met her shoulder. He pressed a series of kisses along her skin. Francis knew that as obsessed as he was with her just as his wife it was already growing in ten fold knowing that she had their child in her womb. They were going to be parents. It wasn’t even the fact that they would have an heir, because in all honesty that thought was so far from Francis’ mind he didn’t care about an heir for their people in that moment. All that mattered to him was their ability to have a child of their own. “If it’s a boy I think we should name him James after your father.”

“France will be in excellent hands with either of them. Temporarily.” Mary agreed, the soft smile on her face remaining firm. She let out a relaxed, quiet laugh as she settled against their bed, sighing softly. If all they would get was moments like these, hidden away from their responsibilities and only the three of them, she would take it. Mary’s smile spread further across her face as she repositioned so that she could raise a hand, grazing her fingertips gently against the side of his face. “I know, Francis. You’re a wonderful king, and you’ll be a wonderful father.” She could already envision it, images of them running around as they once had as children, only now it was their child he was chasing and not Mary herself. “Are you happy?”

“Mary, happiness doesn’t even begin to cover how I’m feeling,” Francis assured his wife as he surged in again for another kiss. On any given day he could barely keep his hands to himself he had no idea how he was going to be expected to do so now. He knew that he needed to send for his brother in order to alert him to the fact he would have to handle all the major pending business, but he couldn’t bring himself to even part from his wife for a moment. His hands drifted down her still flat stomach as he stared into her eyes feeling so complete in ways he never imagined. “Soon enough you’re going to be showing. If you thought I was even a little in control of my actions around you it’s all going to go out the window the moment I see you clearly growing with our child.”

Lola had never envisioned that she would live in the French castle forever, let alone for the reasons she was. It was one thing to be one of Mary’s ladies, but she knew that wouldn’t be forever. She would leave someday. It was miraculous Stephane was so understanding and also worked in court, allowing them the chance to stay in the castle. It was in her son’s best interests to be with both his parents. The worst of the fear in mothering the king of France’s son had worn off, which she would always take as a positive. Especially when it made things less awkward, such as walking into his nursery and seeing John with Francis. “Well hello, my sweet boy! I’ve missed you,” Lola cooed as she knelt to his level to kiss his forehead before looking up to Francis. “I didn’t mean to interrupt.”

It wasn’t that Francis never imagined he would have a child with anyone that wasn’t his wife. It was practically expected of him. However once he fell for Mary he didn’t want anyone else, but it was never that easy. Of course he no longer had any regrets about any of it because it brought him his son, but a part of him would always hurt for the fact that he knew how much it made Mary struggle. Regretting his son though was something he couldn’t do it. He figured at least with his mother being Lola he made the best choice he could have. They had a solid friendship that allowed them to parent their son in a healthy way. It was the opposite of what he had while growing up which was all he could have asked for. And now Lola had Narcisse as a husband and somehow it all worked out for the best. He couldn’t have asked for better. Francis was completely wrapped up in looking down at his son when a voice broke him from his thoughts causing him to look up offering her a small smile, “no intrusion at all. I was just telling John that he’s going to be a big brother,” he offered up waiting to see her reaction to the news.

God needs to be selfless. He needs to care about all of humanity. You– you died for me. What could be more selfless than that?

FRANCIS VALOIS x SEBASTIAN DE POITIERS REIGN (2013—2017)

“I love you, too. So very much.” Mary knew it was a miracle that they found more than a mild disinterest in their marriage. Her husband was her best friend and all the fears she once had they would end up like his parents, or her mother, were long gone. And now they would be more than just husband and wife, or the king and queen of France and Scotland, but parents. It was impossible for her not to be excited about that. “My feet are a bit sore and I’m more tired than I expected, but I feel fine. Happy. Is your day not so busy that you can afford to stay here?” Mary was lucky to have James visiting, to have her brother willing to look to any business Scotland needed so that she could rest, at least for the few days he would be in France. She knew their countries wouldn’t wait for them simply so they could celebrate their child. 

“Nothing is more important to me than you and our child. Any business that absolutely cannot be put on hold until tomorrow can be dealt with by either my mother or Bash,” he shifted in their bed so that he could take her feet onto his lap before massaging slow gentle circles into the bottom of her arches. If this was all that Francis could accomplish for her then it would be enough for him. “Besides I have to attend to the future king or queen for the day. I’m sure that everyone will be more than understanding once I remind them of that fact. To him though this child was more than his heir. This child was everything to him and so much more. He had no idea how they got so lucky in their marriage but he was grateful for it every single moment. “I’m going to be the parent I wish I would had growing up. That is my promise to you and our child. Not a king, but a father.”

“Three at the most. I wanted to be certain it was real before I got your hopes up,” Mary admitted with a small laugh, the smile not leaving her face or her eyes. The truth of it was, she didn’t want to disappoint him by losing another child the way she had before. She couldn’t be much further along now than she had been then, but it felt different this time somehow. “You’re going to have plenty of time to make up for it, Francis.” She promised, letting herself enjoy the way her heart flooded with warmth. For now, it was only the two of them and the family they were finally starting, and she wanted to enjoy it, however long she could. 

“I love you so much,” It was disbelief that they found themselves actually in love with one another, and it wasn’t something that Francis was blind to that they were lucky. Too many people in their positions lived lives full of loneliness and darkness somehow though he was lucky to have her. And now they were lucky to have this child. He knew he should have been hoping for the perfect baby boy that would become his heir, but there was certainly a part of him that wasn’t against the idea of having a daughter that was the spitting image of Mary. “How are you feeling though? We can spend the afternoon laying here talking if you need to.”
