Disclaimer:Don't own Reign or Outlander this is just a fun story :D
Weeks had gone by after Catherine arrived. She gotten to know Jamie and Claire. Catherine spent as much time with them as she could. There were times when she would look over at Dougal and it was like he wanted to take her right there, and other times it was like he didn't know she even existed.
She would often think and as she would she would smile. "Dougal you don't think your treatment of me is right or do you? Or do you even care?" As she thought her mind would wander to him grabbing and kissing her as she finally looked around she spotted Dougal. He had been watching her he was grinning from ear to ear as if he knew what she was thinking. Catherine became angry and stomped out of party that was being held that day. Dougal followed her down the hallway. " Yer a stubborn one ye ken that?" He grins Catherine turned around her eyes grew wide she walks up to him slapping him. He just chuckles grabbing her arm and pulling her against him Dougal then said "What a woman!" He then kisses and at first Catherine tried to push him away until she couldn't resist anymore. But once she let him kiss her so passionate was the moment he pulled away grinning and chuckling. Dougal says softly, "Now, was that so hard?" He laughs walking away her eyes grew wide. "You don't even...you!" She chased him down kicking his leg. Dougal turned to her angry limping away this wasn't over. Catherine went to her room extremely upset and hurt at how he was acting.
The weeks go by. She had decided to spend time with Jamie and Claire as she could this made her feel better. Claire and Jamie worked over at their house one day Catherine decided to go over by herself. She felt she was being watched. She tried to remain calm. Catherine looks around she was still learning that many things had changed with life. Catherine walks as fast as she could. As she did she wondered if there is a way to warn Mary of what was to come. As she thought this someone grabbed Catherine. In that very second Dougal ran out of the woods knocking the man away. Dougal grabbed her, "Ye dinna learn from the first time!" He put her on the horse then got on behind her. He was upset what if something had happened to her he couldn't lose her she not only looks like the love he lost, but she acts like her too.
Catherine remained silent as they go she didn't know what to think. But it was like she could feel that he cared. Catherine wondered why though, that he kept acting the way he was towards her it seemed to hurt her in so many ways especially her heart. Catherine couldn't be falling in love, she just couldn't. Dougal knew it was more then just that she looked like his lost love, he liked her attitude Catherine was beautiful and strong he knew she was her own woman and could take care of herself. He was falling in love with her and he knew it. The thing was would he admit it was happening? Catherine felt something happen they go through the countryside towards Jamie and Claire's house. And yet it was then Dougal decided to go the long way around just so he could hold her in his arms. As he did his heart pounds as he held her. Catherine smiled acting as if she didn't notice but she did. She would grab him if she could and kiss him. But Catherine would play hard to get when the time came.
Catherine stared at the land it was so beautiful. It was as if they had walked into a painting and they were in a different place just for them. She touches his hand softly it was placed on her tummy. Her heart pounds! Dougal smiles as he felt her hand. Dougal was about to place a kiss on her neck as a voice came from towards the river. "Dougal... How did you know we were here?" Claire smiles "Well hello Catherine!" Catherine smiled at Claire. " Hello Claire it is nice to see you!"
Catherine may have said that, but there was a part of her that was so disappointed. She knew that this little trip had shown her another side of Dougal. He could be kind and she more than maybe she would admit out loud. Dougal was almost thinking the same exact thing at the same exact time.
