Part 18
Tessa awoke with a start, the carriage was still moving. She sat up slowly and rubbed her eyes, she saw that John was awake and was staring into space. When he saw her looking at him, he smiled. "Hello Tess, we're nearly there by the looks of it,". He glanced out the window, Big Ben was coming into view. He looked back at her "Everything will be fine, i promise,". He winked at her then leant foward and tapped the driver on the shoulder. "Drop us off here please,". John opened the door and jumped out, he helped Tessa down the steps then paid the driver.
Tessa slipped her hand into his. It felt good to be outside in the fresh air again, all that time in the carriage had made her feel very sick.
"Are you ok Tess?" John asked looking at her worridly "You look very pale,". He took his jacket off and draped it around her shoulders.
"I'm feeling a little sick,". Tessa admitted clinging onto the jacket, she suddenly felt very cold. She tightened her grip on John's hand. "Can we sit down?"
"Of course,". John led her to a nearby bench and they both sat down. John put his arm around her and pulled her close. "We'll stay here as long as you wish,". He whispered in her ear.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Johnny Wilmot,". A voice said from behind them.
John turned around and a smile spread across his face when he saw who it was. "George!" He said happily. "Come, come and sit down,". John gestured to a seat on the otherside of Tessa.
George took a seat and smiled at John and Tessa "So finally settling down eh Johnny?" He stuck out his hand for Tessa to shake "I'm George Etherege,".
"Tessa Watson,". She said quietly shaking his hand.
"It's a pleasure,". George smiled. "Say are you feeling ok?" He asked her.
"No she isn't,". John said. "I think we should get you to a doctor,". He stood, up then gently pulled her to her feet. He put his arm around her waist to keep her steady. He turned back to George "We'll catch up later,".
Tessa felt awful. She felt John's strong arm around her and she felt safe. John would get her to a doctor, she hoped she wasn't too sick because they needed to see the King desperately.

Part 19
"Will she be ok?" John asked as the doctor finished examining Tessa. "Is it serious? Will she live?" John got hold of the doctor's coller and shook him violently. "I love her and if she is dying you have to tell me,".
"Let go of him John,". Tessa smiled "It's nothing serious, it's actually a blessing and i'll definately live,". She stood up, patted her stomach gently and stroked John's hair fondly. "I'm pregnant darling,".
John let go of the startled doctor and lifted Tessa into the air. "This is just excellent news!" He hugged Tessa tightly. "We're going to have a baby! We're going to be parents!" He put her down and felt her stomach. His eyes met Tessa's and they kissed passionately. John pulled Tessa closer to him and before he could do anything else, the doctor coughed. Tessa and John pulled appart apparantly embaressed.
"Congratulations,". The doctor smiled
"I'm sorry about before," John grinned "I couldn't help myself,".
"Thank you doctor!" Said Tessa shaking the doctor's hand. "Thank you for making our lives so happy,".
John and Tessa left the doctor's house and began to walk down the dirty London street. "Now for the King,". John grimanced.

Part 20
Tessa's heart was racing, she was pregnant! And by the man she cared so much about and loved dearly. She patted her stomach and turned to look at the man sitting beside her. John, her love was staring into space... his long dark curls all around his face. Tessa brushed them out of his eyes and he turned his head to face her and put his hand on hers. "Everything will be alright,". He turned away and continued to stare into space.
"The King will see you now,". Announced a voice from above.
Tessa and John got up and Tessa slipped her hand into his and he gripped it tightly. She looked at her lover thoughtfully, maybe he was more nervous than she thought? The messenger opened a large wooden door and they stepped inside. The King's room was a grand place, gold everywhere and a number of painting hung on the wooden walls. The King himself was standing in front of a large circular window which looked out over the streets of London. "Please sit,". He said without looking at them.
John and Tessa sat in two armchairs that were by a warm fire. The fireplace was made of marble. Tessa's hand was still in John's. The King turned to face them. "Now, i do not wish to see my niece in the hands of you,". He said angrily to John. "You can stay together for now but i do not want you to be emotionly attached to one another, or dependant in anyway. It is a bit of fun and is not anything serious,".
John coughed "If i could interrupt sir. I love this girl and it is not a bit of fun,".
The King laughed "You? John Wilmot, love? It is not possible,".
Tessa stood up angrily. "Yes, it is possible Uncle. This man is the best thing that has ever happened to me and i can't imagine my life without him. I know he has a reputation but surely that does not matter? He is capable of loving someone and that someone happens to be me. I am pregnant with his child,". She flushed and looked to John for support. John smiled at her and nodded. "I'm going to be a dad,". He smirked at Charles.
The King's nostrils flared "So be it!" He shouted "But you are no longer a member of my family!" He pointed at Tessa "Now get out, both of you!"
Tessa and John left the room and didn't look back
