Summary
It was as if the two parts of Jamie’s soul, the bright, brash one she had married and the one tempered by pain and by deep love, laid bare to her in the wake of Wentworth prison, had lodged themselves in their own two children. She wondered at it; sometimes she would read John Donne’s "Metempsychosis" to the two infants, far too small to understand the words, and wonder too if this had been the journey Jamie’s own soul had traced, taking root in their children, the only two pieces she had left of him.

A somewhat canon divergent alternate universe in which Claire had twins after going back through the stones. Some things are taken from the book, some from the show, some invented entirely. Note: this is an anachronistic approach—an imaginative history, if you will—so there’s a lot more woke-ness from the main characters than you would find in the archive, whether for the 18th century or the 1960s. If you’re looking for gritty, hard-edged historical accuracy from your Claire and Jamie, you may want to look elsewhere :)
