Louis whistled as he approached the Knight's cabin, in a happy mood he couldn't wait to go shopping with Catharine for their baby. He was so happy that they were finally going to be parents but he could not help but feel guilty over the fact that it had not ever happened for Victoria and Francis he knew how much it hurt Francis that he could not give Victoria a child. Louis sighed his mood diminished, before he thought about how happy both of them would be for Catharine and himself and he began to smile again. He couldn’t dwell on what had not happened for his brother and sister and had to concentrate on Catharine and their future child. "Catharine? Are you here?" He asked entering their rooms looking around for her.

Catherine Tudor

"I will be out soon", Catherine called from the bathroom. She was fairly sure she had thrown up everything that she could for now and she quietly flashed the toilet and moved to brush her teeth. Over the past few days she had been hit hard with morning sickness and was already starting to get over that feeling. Her hands rested over er still flat stomach as she walked out of the bathroom and over to him. She wrapped her arms around him tightly. She knew that she needed to tell her sister and brother in law the news because it was only a matter of time before they would guess the truth anyway and she didn't want to hurt Victoria any more then was necessary.

"How are you feeling?" Louis asked rubbing her back, he hated that she was sick but he knew that there was nothing he could do it was a natural part of being pregnant but he still didn't like it and hoped that it passed quickly. "When did you want to tell Vic and Francis?" He knew that it was wighting on her and the stress couldn't be good for the babies or Catherine. Louis wondered if talking to a demigod healer might help with the morning sickness maybe there was something that Catherine could eat or drink that would make the morning sickness less prominent.

Catherine rested her head against his chest with a sigh, "I am okay...really", she tried to assure him. She knew that morning sickness was far from unusual but that wasn't to say that she liked it. She sighed again at the mention of telling her sister and brother in law. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell them but she knew how much her sister wanted kid and she was scared of upsetting her. "I suppose there is no better time then the present", she replied to him with a worried smile as she stepped back to ensure that she hadn't got anything on her dress.

Louis didn’t look very convinced but he knew that he couldn’t do anything to help her. He really hated that he couldn’t help Catherine get better. “I suppose that’s true, would you like me to come with you or would you like to tell Victoria by yourself?” He asked her, he would support her either way but he would like to be there when Catherine told her just encase it went badly and Catherine got upset because he didn’t want her to have to go through that alone though he knew that Victoria didn’t have a mean bone in her body he also knew how much she wished for children and how much her heart broke at each miscarriage and he didn’t know how she would react to the news and wanted to protect and comfort Catherine if something bad happened.

Catherine could tell she hadn't convinced him that she was okay but was glad when he didn't continue on the subject. She took a seat on the bed as she thought about the question. Part of her wanted him there with her when she told Victoria but she also felt that maybe it would be better if she talked to her alone. Even if Victoria hot upset, she did have that right. Catherine knew how much Victoria had wanted a child of her own and how much it hurt her that she couldn't have one. She didn't want Victoria to have to feel like she had to be strong over this just because Louis and herself where happy. "I think it might be best is I tell her alone", she finally decided. "You can always tell Francis and Elliot while I talk to her", she continued.

"Okay if you think it will be best I'll tell them while you tell Victoria." He tells her not wanting to stress her out because he knew that stress wasn't good for the babies and he knew that he would be happy to tell Elliot and Francis about the babies and hope that they had some advice for him because he was scared out of his mind that he would be a bad father because he had never looked after babies and had no idea how to look after them. "Hopefully they have some advice for me because I have no idea how to look after babies."
