Jeyne should have noticed it the night before. Reynald was always such a good babe, always happy and eager to please, that his fussiness and refusal to go down for the night should have been a sign that something was amiss. But Jeyne thought it was just a sign that Reynald was a normal babe with the occasional cross moods and put little thought ( Read more... )

Jeyne put the letters out of her mind--not forgotten, just put aside for a little while--until she had Reynald fed and soothed to sleep for his afternoon nap. It didn't take long for him to go to sleep, since he'd had such adventures that morning, but she lingered in the rocking chair for a while, not wanting to put him down ( Read more... )

Perhaps in hindsight, Jeyne should have recognised the signs of early labour for what they were, but she had been so tired ever since Christmas that she thought it was more of the same. She had considered going to the New Year celebration at the compound for just a little while, but all during the day she had a backache that, while not quite enough ( Read more... )

Jeyne had never heard of Christmas before coming to the island, but almost two years of living here with so many people for whom Christmas was a great deal, she thought the sentiments of peace and good will, family and food and presents, to be quite appealing. It was because of this that Summerfell was the site of a Christmas feast for family and ( Read more... )

It was another busy day about Summerfell, and warm too (as it usually was on the island). Jeyne had been working in the garden for most of the morning, and Robb had been at the cider mille. Was still at the cider mille, in fact, so Jeyne drew some fresh water from the well and took a big cup of it out to him ( Read more... )

[dated July 4, the day after this thread]Jeyne could hardly keep from giving the horse her head and going at a full out run back to Summerfell after seeing Dr Bartowski again. She couldn't remember being this happy since finding Robb here on the island, alive and well; if possible, she was even happier, knowing how pleased this news would make ( Read more... )

[dated to whenever the ITF returns]Jeyne had been terribly excited to hear that a new island had been discovered, and even moreso that Robb would be among those to go and explore it. She was somewhat worried for his safety, but not as much as she might have been had this happened a year ago. She hoped that the prospect of something productive to ( Read more... )

The island had gifted Jeyne with a large chest of sewing supplies; some of which she had never seen before, but it did not take her very long to figure out what they were and put them to their proper uses. For all that Robb liked to go round the island half-dressed (and she did not mind seeing him do so), she was determined that he would have ( Read more... )

Jeyne liked to keep busy, even if, now that the snow had fallen, there seemed to be a lot more opportunities to go out and act like a little girl instead of a young married woman, which were very tempting. One chore she found she liked was feeding and watering the horses - there were almost as many horses around as people, and they couldn't ( Read more... )

After reading the books about dinosaurs, Jeyne was not quite as certain she wanted to visit the dinosaur territory as she had been when Robb first proposed the idea. But she was not about to say so, especially when the journey would afford them some time to be alone. She liked Robb's family very much but there were so many of them it seemed, at ( Read more... )
