Never seen this before and wanted to share. Someone took a snippet of Episode 10 of The War Games and colorized it. Pretty cool to see how it would look. :)

Christmas Market

Jamie, Claire and Family on a Christmas Market through the years.

Part 1 here

Part 2. Jamie, Claire, Faith and Brian...

'Mam wat's dat?' Wee almost two-year-old Faith Fraser asked from her pram at one of the plushie animal ornaments swinging around one of the stands at the market.

'That Faith, is called a flamingo.' Claire promptly answered her daughter.

'I can think of more Christmassy animals that a flamingo Sassenach.' Joked Jamie beside her.

'Fay mingo, fay mingo.' Say Faith trying to reach the pink felt bird

'You like it, don't you?' Said Claire, already reaching for her purse to purchase the bird. 'Here you have.'

'Fay mingo!' Faith exclaimed as she grabbed and hugged the plushie flamingo.

'How are ye feelin' a graidh?' Asked Jamie, lowering his hand to Claire's big swollen belly. 'Do ye need a rest?'

'It's the fifth time you ask, you know.' Claire said, mildly annoyed, but tremendously warm at Jamie continuous attentions. 'We're fine, we'll tell you if we need a rest.'

'I ken that, and ye ken I have my reasons to worry for ye and the bairn.' Jamie answered. Of course she knew, they were her worries too. She hadn't go so far with Faith and her birth had been so traumatic that every twitch and cramp since she had passed the mark at what Faith had been born was being a source for worry. 'My apologises if I'm bein' annoying to ye mo chridhe.'

'Never apologises for that Jamie.' Claire said to Jamie with a sweet kiss.

'Mingo!' Faith broke the spell to announce her new toy had fallen out of her reach.

The laugh as Jamie reached for it and gave it back to Faith and soon they carried on with their Christmas shopping, until Claire's legs gave up and she (falsely) sat reluctantly for a rest at one of the square coffee places. There she stayed, sharing a hot chocolate and some mince pies with Faith and her flamingo, while Jamie finished with the shopping.

'I think the flamingo has got enough, Faith' Said Claire as her daughter mushed crumbs on her toys beak. 'Mince pies is not what flamingo feed of after all.'

'Mingo pie.' Faith answered, continuing with her job.

'I got it all Sassenach.' Said Jamie as he came back, kissing both his lasses' brow. 'Ye ken, I found again the personalised ornaments place we got Faith's and I got a new one for the bairn.'

'Oh, Jamie.' Claire said as she saw the names on the ornament "Jamie" "Claire" "Faith" and "Brian". 'You know there's a chance the baby is going to be girl.'

'No Sassenach, trust my words, we're havin' a wee lad.' Said Jamie proudly.

Eight Days Later

'Hello, how may I help you?' Said the shop lady to him.

'Aye, I dinna ken if ye remember me.' Said Jamie to her 'I bought this here a week ago.'

'Yes, you were having a new baby.'

'Aye, the bairn was born three days ago.'

'Congratulations to you and your wife.'

'The thin' is...well... I told ye to write the name Brian, because I thought we're goin' to have a lad and I wanted to name him after my own Da.' Tried to explain Jamie. 'But the bairn happened to be another wee lass.'

'Oh, well,' The lady said to Jamie, 'I can't do refunds on personalised ornaments, they're unique. I can give you another one half price with the new girl's name.'

'No, 'tis no that. My wife and I decided to still name her after my Da, just with the female version of the name, Brianna. I wanted to ken if ye would update it.' Jamie finished to explain.

'Oh, of course,' Said the lady, 'just give me a minute.'

Christmas Market

Jamie Claire and family on a Christmas Market through the years.

1. Newly Married

The Christmas Market was full of people, lights and the smell of mulled wine and mince pies but Claire felt a bit like in her own bubble, there tightly holding Jamie's arms as they walking around. It was going to be both their first Christmas as a married couple and the last before become a proper family with the birth of their first child on February, she was the luckiest woman in the World, she thought, as her hand caressed her baby bump, soothing the baby's own excitement.

Jamie and Claire walked around the market checking for thing they might fancy for themselves and their house, they had found pretty blue bubbles with a Celtic inspired decorations and a Santa ornament Jamie said it looked a bit like Murtagh. One of the last stands was a place which made personalised decorations, they had couples, families and genealogical Christmas trees you could add several generations of a same family and even dogs and cats you could make one for your pets as well. Claire seemed particularly enticed by one which looked just like them, a red haired man and a dark haired woman with a baby on her arms.

'Do ye want it Sassenach?' Asked Jamie beside her,

'It looks pretty.' Claire answered, 'but we don't know how we're calling the baby yet. Maybe next year, when he or she is born.'

Jamie took the ornament anyway and started to walk Claire to the till. 'The bairn is part of us already, even if 'tis no born yet.' Jamie said, joining his hand to hers on the swell of her bump. 'Let's get it, next year will just get another one with its name.'

'You want this one then.' The lady at the till said, with a strong Eastern European accent. 'Which names do you want in it?'

'Jamie and Claire.' Said Jamie to her 'And Fraser Bairn, we dinna ken yet what we're havin'.'

'Gladly you're not the first ones today.' Said the lady with a smile 'My sister and I have learn a lot of Scottish baby slang today from people not knowing how they're naming their children.' The lady gave them a post it with their names to give to her sister, sitting on a corner of the stand writing the names on the ornaments in a beautiful calligraphic script.

'Thank ye, Miss.' Said Jamie.

That evening, after they had decorated the tree, Jamie and Claire went on to cuddle on their sofa, watching a movie, steaming mugs of hot chocolate on the coffee table. Claire, sometimes taking her eyes to the family ornament, proudly sitting on a place of honour at the tree.

'Don't you sometimes think how unbelievable is it that these are going to be our one and only Christmas before becoming a family?' Claire said to Jamie.

'Aye, Sassenach, ' Jamie said, a whipped cream moustache on him after drink from his mug. 'But 'tis something to look forward. Ye, me and our bairn.'
