A few days later, the English party, along with Anne of Cleves and her ladies-in-waiting, sailed for England. The only things left to do was to have Anne meet Henry and for them to be married and have a prince, a spare. Elizabeth stood next to her husband with her sister and her sister's family. The princess had her hands on her young son's shoulders as they waited for Henry's presence. Anne turned to look at Elizabeth with fear in her face. Elizabeth could only give her a comforting smile, she didn't know what else to do to comfort the frightened foreign princess. The harold announced, as the horns blared and Henry walked in, "His Royal Majesty, the King!" Everyone curtsied/bowed to the King. Henry's eyes laid on Anne and a flash of disgust showed on his face. Elizabeth was the only one in the room who noticed. She didn't know why her father was disgusted by Anne's appearance. She thought that the foreign princess was beautiful. Everyone was taken back when Henry said something to Anne and suddenly brought Anne into a kiss, placing his hands on her cheeks. It not only startled her but startled everyone else, mostly Elizabeth.
With that out of the way, the celebrations began to celebrate the escort party and Anne's arrival. Now that she was back in England with her family, Elizabeth could relax and have some fun with her family. The music caused Elizabeth to want to dance so she had Mary and Elizabeth 2nd join with her; along with her husband, Mary's husband, and Anne. Henry watched his daughters and son-in-laws dance and smiled. He would dance with them if he could but the ulcer on his leg allowed him to do so much. Another contributor to his holdback was that he wasn't as young as he used to be. Seeing the joy and happiness on his daughters' faces was enough for him. Elizabeth danced around James and smiled at him. James smiled back and said, "What is it?" Elizabeth replied, "What is what?" James said to his wife, "You always have that look in your eyes that you have someone to tell me." Elizabeth replied, giggling, "Well, I am with child again." James' face lit up and lifted his wife up, with his hands on her hips, and brought her into a passionate kiss. Elizabeth laughed after the kiss and the couple continued to dance.
Soon after Elizabeth announced her pregnancy of her second child to the court, the preparations for the wedding of Henry and Anne began. Elizabeth took the initiative to help Anne as she had done with Jane. She didn't help plan the wedding between her father and Anne Boleyn. She was still in France at the time and a young girl. Elizabeth wanted no part of the wedding of her father and the woman who made her mother's life miserable. Now with the foreign princess, Elizabeth did what she could to help the woman, who would be her new stepmother, come out of her shell. The soon-to-be new Queen would have to, in order to give England what it needed, another heir for the throne. Elizabeth held a piece of paper in her hands as she read of the long list of guests to Anne. The princess noticed that Anne was distracted and had everyone leave them alone. Elizabeth came up to Anne and said, concerned, "Is everything alright, Anne?" Anne turned to her friend and replied, "Oh, yes. I was just thinking." Elizabeth knew what was going on with Anne. Anne was worried that Elizabeth's father would kill her if she didn't give him what he craved, sons. Of course, Henry already had one legitimate son from Jane but in order to keep the Tudor line going, he needed more sons.
Elizabeth didn't know how to assure Anne that everything would be alright, considering with what had happened to the other Queens. She only gave the frightened princess an kind smile and said to her, "I understand what you are feeling, Anne. *Anne looked at Elizabeth with a hint of fear and worry in her eyes* I felt the same way with my own husband but I then realized that the worry was all for not. The advice I can give you is to make my father, His Majesty, happy to the upmost of your ability. No one will fault you for it if you do your duty. I do not wish to frighten you but here's another piece of advice. Do not meddle in my father's affairs. He doesn't like that very much and will get very temperamental with it." Anne nodded in understanding and replied, "I thank you for your advice, Your Highness. I will keep that in my mind." Elizabeth smiled at Anne, she hoped that her advice will help guide her friend through her time as Queen.
