AN: The setting is the Joust in 2.08 of the show. Henry dreams when he is under and it may help save some innocent lives, including the Queens. The setting is 13 days of after Katherine has died and nine days before her burial and Anne's miscarriage in history (she miscarried on the day that KoA was buried) And any mistakes are mine! And blah blah blah I don't own the Tudors show. But we all own a bit of history. :)

Chapter one: A Champions Tale

January 20th, 1536

Henry's POV

With his sweetheart's favor, King Henry VIII swiftly straddled his horse and prepared for the joust. He was next and he heard his name, along with Sir Henry Norris' name being called out. He faced Sir Henry with a smile on his face. After all how could he not smile? He had the love of a good, pure woman and it was a lovely day for a joust. With a kick of his heel the joust was started and Henry felt the rush of adrenaline that filled his body. So much so he didn't feel the hit to his body nor did he feel his body collide with the dirt

With the King injured and on the ground, he missed the pure panic that happened. Ladies were whispering and looking for the reaction of Lady Jane (who was distressed to say the least), the men, including Sir Henry were rushing to the kings side to inspect the damage.

"He is breathing," someone called out and you could hear the relief in the crowd.

But the King could care less right then. He was having, what he thought, a pleasant dream. He did not feel himself being moved or the commotion around him. He only had eyes for his pretty Jane. She was dressed in a gown of gold a small diadem on top of her golden waves, standing the forest that he used to visit with Anne quite often to have their trysts. Well that annoyed him, why did that thought have to come? He refused to think of the witch at this moment and refocused on his Jane. But she wasn't looking at him, which annoyed Henry slightly, she was staring to Henry's right. He glanced to what she was looking at and to his surprise he saw Anne and his daughter Elizabeth playing together. Little Elizabeth was tossing leaves and Anne was laughing with her daughter. It was a picturesque moment and Henry was enchanted watching them.

Suddenly Anne's demeanor changed and she looked frightened, something Henry had never seen. Taking Elizabeth into her arms she cowered against a tree, scared for their lives. Henry looked around, trying to find this threat to his family and only saw Jane, walking towards the two, with a sinister smile that Henry never thought he could see on his Jane. Henry made a move towards the women, but before a step could be taken the scene changed to just Anne and Jane, and it was the most disturbing sight. Anne was suddenly on her knees her head up proud and tears on her cheeks, falling to her low cut red gown. And Jane, his beloved Jane, was wearing a black gown, a very morbid gown on her pale complexion but the most disturbing was the sword she was holding pointed to the ground with her hands on top on the handle. It was a striking difference the silver against the black, sparkling against the light and matching the crown on her golden curls. Jane's face was haughty and showed no mercy towards her queen. Jane lifted the sword and Henry's heart stopped. He was frozen with not a clue what to do. How could his Jane do this? And why was Anne not fighting or doing something? The sword came down on Anne's neck and before anything could be said or done, her pretty little head was gone.

The shock of his dream woke the King of England, causing his eyes to open and a sharp pain to go through his head which emitted a groan. The sound alerted everyone in the room and you could feel the tension leave the bodies of everyone.

"Oh, Your Majesty! You're awake! Thank God!" Charles Brandon cheered. Henry wanted to smack him for his statement caused great sound from the others in the room. The doctor noticed the pain and made everyone hush. Henry saw Sir Henry Norris standing to the side looking pale and withdrawn.

"Norris- you alright?" The king said, barely moving his head in fear of the pain it would cause.

"Yes, Your Majesty. And I am so sorry, I-" The king waved him off with a hand. "Stop. I knew the risks and I am fine." Although his leg was killing him too. The doctor allowed him to sit up and as Henry was he saw Jane's blue favor peeking from his attire. The ribbon sat there limply and the he reached for it, pulling it out of it's confined space. Henry manged to glance up at Edward Seymour and saw the look of triumph that he couldn't hide. It bothered him for some reason and he couldn't place why.

George POV

George Boleyn grabbed Madge Shelton by her forearm and pulled her close. "What do you think you are going to do?" He hissed to her face. She looked terrified and stammered back.

"T-to tell the Q-queen-" George was livid. Was she daft?

"Are you stupid, cousin? You risk telling the Queen in this manner while she is with child?" He saw the shame on her face and he let go of her arm. "Besides, the King has already woken and is fine. They are now carrying him to his chambers to rest." He walked away, leaving her alone in the corridor. George felt no pity for her, she was stupid for thinking to rush into Anne's chambers and panic her and possibly making her lose the child. He found Anne reading her Bible a few moments later and she looked up with a smile.

"Brother, have you come to take pity on your sister and queen and visit with her?" Her eyes were bright and her skin was glowing. She looked healthy in this pregnancy and he hoped to God that the news wouldn't change it.

"Before I tell you, you must know that everyone is alright now but the king did fall in the joust. he is awake now and the doctors say that although it re-opened his wound on his leg, he is going to be fine." He saw her face drop and he rushed to catch her off the chair. "Shhh, it is okay. Think of the babe."

Anne's POV

Queen Anne quickly gathered her wits and pulled herself from her brother's embrace. Thank God Henry is okay, was all that Anne could think before her mind quickly turned to the child in her womb.

"Yes, yes I'm alright now. Thank God he is alright. I don't even want to think of what could have happened. He is still need here." Anne was still shook up a bit and sat back down in her chair, the bible left on the floor, forgotten. But then she was suddenly angry. How could he be so stupid? Probably trying to impress his whore, Jane Seymour. The anger passed through out her whole body, unchecked. He knew the bloody risks yet he still chooses to do it. George bent beside her.

"Everything is fine now, sister. I think he understands that he took a chance with his life today and got lucky. I do not believe he will attempt it again. But you have now got to focus on the child. Has he quickened yet?" Anne shook her head.

"No, but I expect it any day now." She placed her hands on her rapidly growing belly. The midwife told her that was a good sign for it was growing more and more every week. Anne was just passed her fourth month and starting her fifth. The babe should come in mid May and Anne prayed everyday, every hour that it was a son that Henry wanted for it if wasn't, she believed it would be the end for her. She wasn't even sure if a healthy daughter could save her right now. With his passion for Mistress Jane growing (although she couldn't see how since the girl could barely read her own name) it wouldn't be long before Henry would quickly replace her with the dim-witted slut.

Jane Seymour's POV

Mistress Jane Seymour was in a near panic-no she was in a full blown panic! She was certain that the king was going to blame her for his fall and she was going to fall out of favor, which meant her brothers and father would fall with her and all would be lost and her family would kill her! Okay, calm down and breathe, she told herself. You don't know what is going to happen. But in the midst of trying to calm herself she just made herself sick and threw up everything she had eaten that day. Oh, Lord she wasn't going to make it through this. It wasn't as if she didn't want Anne to be replaced (after all she was a lady-in-waiting to Queen Katherine and her heart was firmly with the True Faith,) and Princess Mary placed back in her rightful spot, but she also valued her life. She only wanted to be a wife and mother.

She always thought she would live a peaceful life her non-important Lord for a husband. It was how she was raised and now she was being thrown in to the lions pit because of her over-reaching brothers! They didn't risk their health, their lives for the status they so desperately wanted. No it was to be Jane because the king took a fancy to her and now she was expected to keep her maidenhead but still keep the king interested, prepare to give the king a son where two(hopefully) of his wives failed before her. What made them think she would be able to do it? It was too much pressure for her and she had never really been a healthy person before all this. She had already lost some weight from the stress and she didn't have a lot to spare in the first place.

Jane got down to her knees and started praying for God's will (and her safety) to be done, she didn't care what it was as long as she could be safe and happy someday. God's will and her safety in all of the Courtly drama. Because she truly feared what would happen if God didn't interfer with what was going on in this turbulant time.

So there we go. What do you think? It is my first attempt at the Tudors fandom, although I read it all the time. Hope you didn't mind the George scene. I thought it was so stupid how the show had Madge barged in to the Queens Rooms and blurt out the issue when every one's concern was to make sure that Anne had a safe and healthy pregnancy. I know they did it for the part where she sees Anne going to Mark for comfort and it can later be used for the trial but bah humbug on that. :)

Next chapter in about a week. Oh, and those who are following my other story I am SO sorry but we lost everything on our old computer and just now were able to get a new one. And while I usually write everything down and then type it up, I didn't for the that one. So I have to start over and already got a few pages down for the next chapter so hopefully that will be up soon too. Thanks for reading!
