Disclaimer:Don't own Reign or Outlander this is just a fun story :D
Catherine remembered her life as it seemed to go by her as she ran through a field. Her early life, her marriage that wasn't always the best. She had loved her husband with everything she was, but by how things had been between them she often wondered if he ever loved her. Tears ran down her face. The person who chased her almost grabbed. She looked up and at the corner of her eyes she thought she caught a glimpse of her son Francis, a grin suddenly appeared and it was as if she heard him say to her "Everything will be alright!" When suddenly something happened. A man defends her and saves her. "Ye shouldna be here!" He says angry, he was strong and his eyes so beautiful.
Another man with red hair ran up. "Is something wrong Dougal?" Catherine stared at Dougal her heart beat a little different. Dougal glared at Catherine for a minute then said to her "Yer, in danger here!" Jamie tried to calm Dougal "Calm yerself uncle." He pulled him aside to talk to him away from Catherine. This made her wonder what they were saying to each other. Jamie looks at Dougal, "Tell me what is the matter?" Just then Jamie looked at Catherine remembering a painting Dougal had of a woman he had truly loved at one time. "Yer, upset she looks like her." Dougal's eyes grew wide "Yer wrong!" He stomps away grabbing Catherine's arm "Time to go!" Catherine couldn't believe he would dare, "Who do you think you are?" She yelled at him as he took her back to Leoch. She was angry so much so she couldn't believe she ever thought he had beautiful eyes.
She had been taken to a room to wash and dress. He went to his room. He looks at the painting he cried touching over his heart. He acted a certain way when it came to the ladies and everyone else, there was a reason he had lost his love. Seeing Catherine opened up all those old wounds. When he had first seen her, he overreacted he didn't understand how she could look so much like her.
Catherine walked around her room after she washed and dressed trying to understand what had happened. All she could think about was how he made her feel, both what felt like love one second, anger in another. She suddenly remembered seeing Francis as she ran right before Dougal had saved her. "Francis could you possibly mean I belong here?" She said into the room all alone. She cried into her hands trying to calm before dinner. " I have to be stronger, this isn't who I have been. But, everything that has happened..." Just then there is a knock at the door, she wipes her face calming. She got up answering the door Jamie and Claire smile at her " Hello I'm Claire this is Jamie." Catherine saw kindness in their eyes. This made her feel better.
