Spring hurried down to the creek, wanting to get away from the others. They were all having such a good time, but it seemed like Donel would never accept her. She supposed she would feel the same way if another woman had ever tried to replace her mother.

She had a great time today with Shaw and his children. Shaw was so knowledgeable and talented, and she admired him more every day. She’d actually started feeling as if they were a family. Part of her had longed for that feeling her entire life.

Even though she had her clan, her brothers, and her father, it always seemed like something was missing. Today, that empty spot was filled just from spending the day with Shaw and his children. He was a good father and she respected that. She had never thought she wanted children of her own, let alone get married. But today, she started wondering what it would be like to birth Shaw’s baby.

She shook her head, not knowing where this thought was coming from. She’d never needed a man in her life before but, lately, she had started wondering if she was wrong. There was an aching in her heart that she hadn’t felt for a very long time now. She was part of the Gunn Clan, but never really felt as if she belonged there. With the Gordons, it was all different. She was the enemy and an outsider, so why did she feel as if she fit right it? The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to stay.

“Spring,” said Shaw, surprising her and making her jump.

“Aye?” She turned around to see him staring at her.

“I didna think anythin’ could surprise ye and make ye jump.”

“It’s the weather,” she lied. “I always get that way before a good rain.”

He glanced up to the sky and shook his head slightly. “I dinna think it’s goin’ to rain today.”

“Did ye follow me here to tell me ye dinna believe me again?”

“Nay.” He stepped forward and reached out for her. Startled, and always on the defense, her hand shot out to block him. “Spring, calm down. I was just goin’ to brush the hair out of yer eyes.” He reached up gently and pushed a stray lock behind her ear. She lowered her head, feeling her eyes becoming wetter.

“Thank ye,” she said softly.

“Ye are my wife. Ye dinna need to thank me. But I would like to thank ye for tryin’ so hard to win over Donel.”

“What do ye mean?” She looked up and blinked her eyes. She felt a tear slide down her cheek.

“Lass, somethin’ is botherin’ ye. What is it?” He wiped away her tear and gently kissed her on the forehead.

“Nothin’,” she said. She tried to step away, but he pulled her back into his arms.

“I dinna want ye to be unhappy.” He lifted her chin gently and kissed her, making her feel as if everything were going to be all right. Her eyes closed and her arms went around his neck as she kissed him in return.
