Imagines

Outlander Jamie x OC x Lord John 4

Isabelle sat in the chair near the window, it was the afternoon after she had given birth, she was surprised to find out that she has twins, one of each. She already had a name for a girl, cause the girls were the strongest gene in the family but her boy she was still thinking on what to call him.  There was a knock at the door.

"Come in." the door opened and Lord John stepped into the room. Isabelle smiled.

"You look well."

"I feel well, or as well as a woman who has given birth can be." She gestured to the seat across from her. John went to take it when one of the babies fussed. Isabelle stood up and went to see, it was her son. she picked him up.

"There, there." John looked between the two babies and saw flickers of copper hair, copper hair like their father.

"So this is Reinette and..." he trailed off

"I do not know" she chuckled "all this time I thought I was having just the one and a girl, I never even considered. But you will have a strong name." she laid him back down and the two sat.

"Thank you for taking me in." She smiled softly 

"Think nothing of it." John shook his head.

"But I do, you were there when I had no one else. My sister..." she sighed

"What happened if you don't mind me asking." Isabelle sighed thinking back to last nights events

"She did the worst think a Dubois could do. She chose the outsider instead of her family." She then went on to relay what happened from when he left, to when he saw her again.

"It matters not, mother will put them in their place."

"Meaning."

"My mother values many things but something she told us is that we stick together, family above all, we shall never let anyone split us apart. Always and Forever. Marie forgot that and she will pay the price, as soon as mother finds out." She did not tell him more, she just simply smiled.

"Now the maids have told me that you are having a welcoming party soon, how fun."

"I'm not one for big celebrations."

"Becoming a Governor of Jamaica is a big thing John, embrace it." she yawned.

"Get some rest Isabelle." he stood up and left. Isabelle looked over her sleeping children once more before going to sleep.

---------

Unbeknownst to Isabelle, Claire and Jamie were not that far from Jamaica in search for young Ian. soon their worlds would collide.

John was the most gracious host to Isabelle, he had supplies for her and the children made. A part of Isabelle reminded him of his mother. The little things she did, he had a platonic love towards the new mother.

Isabelle, was extremely grateful of John's kindness, she had sent a letters too her mother in France and to Jamie in Scotland. Isabelle had stepped out of her room for a moment to retrieve something, when she came back John was holding her son. She didn't make a sound.

"I know your father, he is every bit of handsome as you are. We met when I was just a boy then again when I became a man, we keep meeting each other at the randomise of opportunities. Now your mother has entered the picture, she has been in the same position as I, we are all connected through him, I will protect you and your sister like your older brother William, the two of you share the same father, though he shall never know." Isabelle soaked in what she had just learned and opened the door further.
