Hi Gotham. In the scene, in Lallybroch, with Jamie and Claire in the Laird's bedroom, could this be when Brianna was conceived? It would be a sweet parallel to 1x12, having their two girls being conceived in the same room in their happy place Lallybroch. That scene reminded me so much of the one from last season. Or is it too soon? What do you think? Thank you in advance. Have a great day/night. :)
No - as amazing as that would be, it’s far too early. We still need to get through about a year of fighting before Jamie and Claire part at the stones.
If you count backwards in Dragonfly in Amber, Brianna is likely conceived in Edinburgh, when Jamie and Claire are making a desperate, last-ditch attempt to stop the Rising and Prince Chuck. Very likely that she was conceived on the night when Jamie and Claire have this conversation:
I woke in the night, still in his arms, and knew he was not asleep.
“Go back to sleep, mo duinne .” His voice was soft, low and soothing, but with a catch that made me reach up to feel the wetness on his cheeks.
“What is it, love?” I whispered. “Jamie, I do love you.”
“I know it,” he said quietly. “I do know it, my own. Let me tell ye in your sleep how much I love you. For there’s no so much I can be saying to ye while ye wake, but the same poor words, again and again. While ye sleep in my arms, I can say things to ye that would be daft and silly waking, and your dreams will know the truth of them. Go back to sleep, mo duinne .”
I turned my head, enough that my lips brushed the base of his throat, where his pulse beat slow beneath the small three-cornered scar. Then I laid my head upon his chest and gave my dreams up to his keeping.
