horses - Jamie Fraser

Y/n is eleven

Summary: Y/n loves her father's horses, but sometimes, people get upset that she spends more time with the mares than other people.

"Dinna tell me she's with those damned horses again." Dougal says as he walks through the halls of Mackenzie Castle with Jamie.

"She is, Dougal." Jamie sighs. The two walk out of the castle and see Y/n riding on one of the horses. "Good lord."

Y/n smiles as she spots her father. She waves, making him wave back. "Get her off that horse, Jamie." Dougal says before walking away.

Jamie never was one to be upset at his daughter. He never had a reason to. She was his pride and joy. And he wasn't upset now. Not because she was riding a horse. Not because she was outside, not because she had woken up at God knows when.

He was happy. "Are ye havin' a good time, lass?" Jamie asks as he leans against the fence.

"Aye, I am." Y/n smiles. "Can we keep her, Pa?"

Jamie chuckles. "Of course, darlin'. What should we name her?"

"Apple." Y/n says happily. Jamie raises an eyebrow. He knew his daughter always came up with creative names for things, but that was just how she was. How she's always been.

"Apple, eh? Alright. Apple it is." Jamie smiles. "Come on, how about we go inside, huh? We can read a bit."

Y/n pouts. "But I want to stay out here!" She whines.

"I know, darling. But we have to get you inside, ok? It's not your job to be with the horses." Jamie says as he picks the girl up and puts her on the ground outside the pen.

"Aw." Y/n grumbles. She looks back at the horse and waves. "Bye bye, Apple."

"Yes, bye bye, Apple." Jamie says. He holds out his hand and Y/n takes it, allowing him to lead her back into the castle. "Are ye hungry, darlin'?"

Y/n nods. "I am." She says quietly.

"How about we have some bread and chicken, hm?" He asks. Y/n nods. "Hey,"

The girl looks up at him. "I love ye." He says.

"I love ye, too." Y/n smiles.
