Imagines

Outlander Jamie x oc x Lord John 5

Jamie and Claire had saved Young Ian and were planning to depart back to Scotland. But before they were going anywhere Jamie wanted to introduce Claire to the twins. He was allowed back into the residence. and taken to the nursery. Form inside came laughter and the two peered inside. Lord John had taken time out of his day to look in on the twins. He and Isabelle  had one twin each, John had Grayson and and Isabelle had Reinette. Jamie cleared his throat, and the two looked up.

"I wanted to introduce Claire to the children." Jamie stated. John looked to Isabelle who nodded and they both stood up.

"I best be going. I'll leave you too it. Jamie, Mistress Fraser" John handed Grayson to Jamie and left the room. The tree of them stood awkwardly for a moment until Jamie cleared his throat.

"Claire, this is Grayson and Reinette Fraser." Jamie stated.

"Dubois-Fraser." Isabelle corrected

"Dubois-Fraser. Belle holds Reinette and I hold Grayson." Claire peers down at Grayson and had flashbacks of when Brianna was born.

"Jamie, he looks like you." she smiled. Jamie had a proud look, while Isabelle focused on Reinette.  Claire then went to look at the baby girl and smiled even more looking at Jamie.

"We depart soon but once we have reached shore back home, I will send you a letter. Will you keep me appraised of their progress?" Jamie stated also meaning William

"I will." Isabelle confirmed and Jamie said goodbye to his children. Everyone except Jamie were in carriages now. Jamie talked to John.

"Thank you for taking care of them." Jamie glanced at Isabelle.

"It is my honour." John replied and bowed his head. Jamie did the same and got into the carriage. He looked back out. Isabelle had joined John's side.

"You wish they were coming back with us don't you?" Claire said and Jamie looked back at her as the carriage began to move.

"Aye, I do. But the twins need their mother and I kinna deny them that." Claire took his hand in hers.

"You'll see them again, I'm sure. And she promised to write once we return."

The next few months were a disaster. Jamie and Family ended up shipwrecked in America. William's shipped docked in Jamaica but without Isobel Grey, she passed away during the voyage and William was beside himself. John brought him home where Isabelle waited.

"William, this is your governess, Lady Belle." William looked up at the French woman.

"Hello William." she smiled softly. William looked up at John.

"Can I go to my room please." John nodded and showed him to his room.

William barely left his room for the first month, except to come down for food. Isabelle insisted  letting him having his space for now. One night, Reinette and Grayson were having a bad time, they couldn't calm down. Isabelle tried everything, feeding them, burping them, rocking them, singing to them. She was tired herself.

"Why are they crying?" A voice asked, she turned around holding Grayson, to face William. He was stood at the door holding a candle.

"William? Why are you awake? Did the children wake you?" she asked

"No, i had a nightmare. I decided to explore."

"It's the dead of night."

"Walking helps me." Isabelle sighed and nodded William came in further

"Are they sad?" William asked.

"I wish I knew."

"but you're their mother, you're supposed to know aren't you." Isabelle gave him a soft smile.
