Am fear eile ~Outlander~

~Chapter Thirty one~ Skye

I woke up before James because my stomach was craving for food. So I stood carefully up. Put on my undershift again and walked out of the room.
The tavern was suprisingly empty and quite as I took that everyone had gone to bed when they where sure enough Jamie and I did the deed or when they where drunk enough.
I walked towards a table and picked up a piece of cold meat, not bothering from which animal it was this time, mine stomach needed to be filled.
"Mrs Fraser, Nae warming yer husbands bed?" I heared a voice ask and I turned around to see Dougal standing.
"He is fast asleep like a newborn baby," I smiled. "Where are you coming from?"
"Fort William, somebody haes tae tell th' captain that yer na langer a foreigner bit a member o' th' MacKenzie clan," he walked towards me.
"I take he was not pleased." I set a few steps back away from him.
"Aye," I saw Dougal's eyes moved over mine body and I shivered.
"I'll go back upstairs," I mentioned and I want to walk back but he grabbed my wrist.
"That yer merrit tae Jamie noo, doesn't mean ye hae tae haud yer mairriage duty's ainlie tae him," Dougal said and I looked at him.
Before I could say the door opened and Rupert walked in whistling.
"Goodnight tae ye mrs," he greeted me with excitement and then looked at Dougal. "Dougal," this time it came out as a warning.
"Yeah goodnight tae ye Mrs Fraser," Dougal letted me go and I quickly ran up the stairs.
"Dougal nae tae speak against ye, bit ah dinnae think Jamie wid be chuffed if ye touched his freish guidwife in a wrong wey," Rupert started but this resulted in a slap across his face by Dougal.
I quickly rushed in to the room, took a blanket of the bed and sat down by the fire. Because I felt flushed and warm, I removed my shift but pulled the blanket closer to my naked body.
Not paying attetion to anything else in the room, I suddenly felt something cold slip over my head and hit my naked flesh.
I looked down and saw a long necklace made out of almost perfectly shaped crisp white pearls and I looked to Jamie who sat down next to me.
"They ur mah maws," Jamie explained as I looked back at it again. "They're precious tae me 'n' sae urr ye Greer,"
"Jamie I..." I started but I couldn't bring myself that far to tell him the truth already. "Those are really beautiful," I quickly said and he smiled.
"Ah bet mines mither hud wanted tae gie thaim herself, she wid hae bin chuffed tae ken that yer mines guidwife," Jamie never talked about his mother and this was the longest I heared about her.
"I wished I could have met her Jamie," I pressed a kiss on his shoulder without thinking. It felt right and natural to do it and I knew it felt also that way for Jamie.
"Whin a'm officially free, we gang back tae mines home. A'm waantin' ye tae catch up wi' Jenny mah sister," Jamie told me and I smiled.
"I can't wait Jamie." I pressed another kiss on his shoulder and than climbed on his lap. Both naked it felt intimate even with out the love making part. I wrapped my blanket over his shoulders. "I want to know all about the family that is now mine as well."
He smiled proudly and started to tell in the only way a Scot could.

2019 Ben

A notification popped up mine lockscreen of my mobile.

SKYE RETURNS FROM SCOTLAND!

I sighted. No she wouldn't, she disappeared without a trace two months ago. Leaving her belongings behind, including her mobile, Passport. But most importantly her Engagement ring.
"What do you mean. You don't continue the search for my daugther!?" Maya my mother in law roared. "She is still not here for the love of God."
"I ken Mrs Stork, but yer daughter left no clue behind where she headed to," the police officer said calmly. "We scanned the whole area without finding something."
"So you think, just like in that bullshit myth off you, she is swallowed by those stones?' Maya placed her fist on the table. "Where. Is. Mine. Daughter?!"
"We don't think she disappeared into the stones." The police officer still staid calm. "She most likely ran off with another man and is now somewhere living with him."
I huffed. "Well that stone story sounded more realistic now,"
"I'm sorry sir," he said. "We hear that quite a few times, men and women ran away with their lovers. Life somewhere in the highlands or the isle and pop up again a few years later."
"Well that is not Skye," I stated. "We where going to get married, you see. She would never leave me!"
"Ye have to face the truth, there where no signs that she left against her will," he looked at me with pity in his eyes. "We did what we could in those two months but for now she is not our priority anymore." He handed us a file. "We let the search warrant for her out but that is all we are doing."
I took the file and openend it. The picture of Skye was the first thing I saw. The picture that was everywhere in Scotland and on national television here only to find her.

"Please come back to me Skye," I whispered to the picture. Hoping that somewhere she was hearing it and she came back to me.

A/n: almost 4k wow!!!
By the way Yesterday I started my 14 day journey through Scotland. Which mean I'm a little fangirling over everything I see and feeling like Claire or Skye
