December 14, 1998

Elinor was pregnant again. 

It was still the early days. She had just found out last week, but she was already hoping that it would be a boy. Imagining a blue nursery. 

Fergus had been off on a hunting trip over the weekend, so she hadn’t told him yet. She was looking forward to doing so this evening when he returned. She could only just imagine the smile on his face. He’d pick her up in one of those bear hugs that she loved so much, making her feel girlish and light as a feather, despite her tall, willowy frame and the weight she’d put on since her pregnancy with Merida.

For now, she was chasing Merida about the grounds. The toddler, who wasn’t much of a toddler now, on the far side of three years old, was squealing with delight as they ran from Elinor, who was playing the part of a giant coming to stomp on Merida. 

“Mummy stop!!” Merida said firmly, turning and putting both of her hands up.
