Hi Gotham your "one for each spoon" post reminded me of something I thought about on a recent OL Reread... F/C talked about children and F was Firm that he only wanted His child and that he'd be jealous and wouldn't want to share her
And then JAMIE who loves Claire beyond all measure. Whether by blood adoption or random chance they just keep picking up kids to love.. thoughts???
Exactly, anon.
Claire and Frank get in an argument at the very beginning of the first book, over adoption. Claire is willing to adopt an orphan child, Frank isn't.
The fact that he later effectively adopts Brianna and raises her as his own...
Meanwhile - yes. Jamie is happy to have a hand in raising any child that needs a father, or father figure. He loves to have that experience with Claire. His heart - like hers - is much more open.
Y vamos con las efemérides y los #AvisosParroquiales. La fecha: 22 de marzo de 2014. El lugar: Hyde Park, Londres. Una #QueenB que venía de hacerse la segunda permanente en una semana y un #KingOfTodo al que le habían teñido el pelo de rojo por vez quichimil para dar con el tono exacto, se encontraron y se hicieron una promesa que sellaron con las selfies más icónicas del universo #Outlander. Se cumplieron ayer 10 años de esas fotitos.
“Dimos un paseo por Hyde Park. Estábamos como, quién sabe qué será esto, pero vos y yo, tenemos que cuidarnos las espaldas. Por supuesto, así es como ha sido desde entonces”. — (Tal cual lo cuenta nuestra queen en cada reportaje y podcast dónde le preguntan sobre el principio) Como podrán ver en el ángulo superior de esa foto del trailer de una #QueenB super beibi, ella tiene una copia de la selfie de las sombras patilargas de Hyde Park #VeoVeoQueVes. Desde la primera selfie hasta la última (de un descanso durante la filmación de la #Season7), cuántas selfies divinas nos regalaron!!! Y que nos sigan lloviendo como los besos del #KingOfTodo en la #Season5!! 1..2..3...5..
the happiness in the eyes when you do what you love. with the one you love. the look. the smile. the arms. that's what matters to me. that's why i'm here. there are things that cannot be pretended, manipulated or hidden. this is love.
When he spoke carefully, as now, he all but lost the slight Scots accent that usually marked his speech.
"I do not wish to… that is… I do not mean to imply…" He looked up suddenly and smiled, with a helpless gesture. "I dinna want to insult you by sounding as though I think you've a vast experience of men, is all. But it would be foolish to pretend that ye don't know more than I do about such matters. What I meant to ask is,
is this… usual? What it is between us, when I touch you, when you … lie with me? Is it always so between a man and a woman?"
In spite of his difficulties, I knew exactly what he meant. His gaze was direct, holding my eyes as he waited my answer. I wanted to look away, but couldn't."There's often something like it," I said, and had to stop and clear my throat.
"But no. No, it isn't—. I have no idea why, but no. This is… different."
Y que hubiese pasado si las cosas se daban de otra manera...
La pequeña Faith nace en Francia...
Jamie puede cruzar las piedras, no se queda a luchar en Culloden y se va con Claire embarazada y la pequeña Faith al futuro, Inverness finales de los años 40
Entonces Jamie es el feliz y orgulloso padre de Faith y Brianna Fraser y las cría en un futuro que nunca creyó posible.
