The unthinkable

Chapter 1: Who's the Father?

"I'm pregnant." Are the words that I'm saying inside my head? Could this be a good thing or a bad thing? I couldn't even get myself to decide which was which. Of course I was somewhat happy yes, but the question was who the father was? Was it Rhett's or was it…Ashley's? Yes, it's true me and Ashley had something going there for a while.

Ever since Rhett left for London with Bonnie things with me and Ashley began to change. I was no longer the girl that loved him and he was the man that didn't love me. No, now it was what I had been wanting to such a long time. I knew from the moment I told him all those years ago that it was true. I did love him with all my heart and I would keep on loving him until the end of time.

Sitting beside the warm fire in deep thought the sound of horse hooves could be heard from outside. Getting up rather fast I looked toward the door expecting at any moment Bonnie and Rhett to be back. Rhett had written me sometime last week saying that Bonnie had wanted to come home and that they would be home sometime this week. My left hand held tight to the arm of the chair. I could hear my own heart beating as I wanted for the door to open.

Moments later the door opened. Ashley stood there in the door way as his hat came off his head. Looking at me with those handsome eyes of his, my breath was gone when I saw him standing there. Thank god. Meeting him in the doorway he put his arms around me and gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Have they arrived yet?" Ashley asked looking down at me as I searched his eyes.

"No," I said as he took hold of my hands within his warm ones. "Mammy said that they won't arrive for quite some time."

"What's wrong you look scared Scarlett," Ashley asked.

"Everything's fine." I wanted to say, but I knew better than that. Things would never be the same again. "Nothing's wrong." I lied as I avoided his eyes.

Still looking at me I brought my gaze back to his face. Locking my eyes with his he leaned down and kissed me. Not wanting this to end I just let it all take over. Not knowing that at the very moment Rhett and Bonnie were right outside. Hearing the door open I jerked away and looked at the door. Rhett stood there with that look in his eyes I had always seen.

"It's nice to see you Mr. Wilkes." Rhett said looking at him as if he was going to jump at him any moment.

"As it is good to see you as well," Ashley said now with his hands at his side.

Going over to Rhett very slowly I knew what he was thinking. Stepping up to him he wrapped his arms around me and began kissing me.

"I want to go play with my pony." I hear Bonnie say as I'm caught up in the moment. Breaking the kiss I looked at my daughter. "Mammy, will take you to see you're pony." I say looking down at Bonnie with a smile. Bonnie runs into the kitchen and asked Mammy to take her to see her pony. Looking back at Rhett he begins kissing me yet again. What was I doing? I had two men's hearts. I could only have one not both. Which one did I really want? My brain told me booth, but my heart told me one and one alone. But which one was it Rhett or Ashley? Whose ever baby this was would be the one.

"Rhett, I must tell you something." I say breaking the kiss as I looked at the fire in the corner.

"What is it my pet? Have you been missing me?" He asked with a laugh as his eyes mocked mine when I looked back.

"Well, No…maybe somewhat Rhett, I'm…I'm going to have a baby." The words came off my tong as if my tong were slick or something.

Taking my hands and looking at me with happiness I looked away. "Who's the father of this child, if I may ask?" Rhett asked in a tone of voice I had heard many times.

Not answering I still looked away, away from everything in the room. Ashley still stood over by the chair and was trying to make since of all this. "I-I don't know." I answer still not making eye contact with Rhett. Oh, what would he think of me? Would he think I was a whore like that Belle Watling?
