Thanks for reviews girls!!
They really helped!
Rhett stared at his wife lying lifelessly on her four-poster bed. He hadn't to bring Belle it was just to act like the good father in front of his son. Now this had happened to Scarlet. Oh and he'd got her pregnant! Brilliant! She'd told him that she didn't want any more children. Rhett shook his head and turned to go.
"Rhett" Scarlet mumbled opening her eyes. She stared around Ella was sitting by her with two dolls.
Scarlet smiled at her daughter.
"Hello Ella." She said smiling.
"Hello
mother." Ella said quietly.
Scarlet looked at Ella and felt bad
at not raising her up properly. She would have been a lovely girl.
"How are you Ella?" Scarlet asked kindly.
"I am well mother, Mammy is taking up for a picnic for lunch," Ella replied. Scarlet smiled, Bonnie should be taught how to behave as well as Ella.
"I shall join you." Said scarlet. Ella looked up at her mother. JOIN THEM. Since when did her mother join them, she was always running out? Ella looked bewildered.
"MAMA!" a voice called. Scarlet stared at the door as Bonnie ran in wearing her blue velvet habit.
"Bonnie dear do sit down properly, look at Ella." Scarlet said as her youngest daughter hugged her.
"Shall I leave mother?" Ella asked.
"Of course not, now you and bonnie tell me how you've both been." Scarlet said happily.
That's exactly how Rhett Butler saw his wife and daughters two hours later all wrapped in blanket listening to their mother's stories. Rhett chuckled to himself and lead Wade and himself in.
"Uncle Rhett!" Ella exclaimed.
"Daddy!" Bonnie shrieked as they both came running towards him as fast as their little boots would carry them.
"How are my little girls?" Rhett asked looking at Scarlet who chose to ignore him. "Fine thanks you." Ella replied.
"PICNIC!" Bonnie reminded him.
"Well get ready then me and your mother need a talk." Said Rhett ushering the children out.
Scarlet pretended to be reading a book that had been lying next to her.
"So, when were you going to tell me about the baby?" Rhett asked taking out a cigar and lighting it up.
"When you were going to tell me our daughter wasn't your only child!" Scarlet snapped. Rhett winced; everyone was terrified of Starlet's temper
"Don't be like this Scarlet. I'm sorry." Rhett said sitting back in an armchair.
"Sorry for what, bringing that whore to my house or not telling me about your illegitimate brats!" Scarlet yelled. Rhett didn't even dare to correct her that it was his house, NOT hers. But then again this was not the best of times.
"Belle was only here for our sons sake. From now on I promise you that he shall never step foot in YOUR house. And that Belle should NEVER speak to you." Rhett promised. He slowly tried to calm her down.
"And I want you to promise me that every dime you own goes to Bonnie and the baby. Not a cent should go to that scoundrel!" Scarlet warned ferociously. Rhett sighed you couldn't win with this woman, could you?
"Fine, fine OUR children get everything!" Rhett promised.
"Good, now I believe we have a picnic to attend." Scarlet said calmly getting out of her bed. She slowly walked to her huge walk in wardrobe. Rhett smirked, god her mood changed like the weather.
"Any help my dear?" he called after her.
"YES!" she yelled, "I need new gowns the baby's made me rounder!"
Rhett smiled to himself and walked out.
"So let me get this straight, Scarlet Butler had an affair with Mr. Wilkes?" Belle asked her latest beau Mr. Reynolds. David Reynolds was ten years older than Rhett and had a wife with all the gossip in Tara. However David had found out this new piece of information directly. After hearing Rhett discuss his wife with his mother.
"Oh yes!" David exclaimed. Rhett was a Yankee everyone should hate him. Instead they all praised him!
"Well you're ever so kind!" Belle insisted. So Bonnie and this new child could be Ashley's. Well that would mean Rhett would have to leave everything to HER son. Oh, a Rhett would believe her. He always did. Nothing would be different this time. She was sure of it.
"Daddy my stomach hurts!" little bonnie Butler complained clutching her plump stomach. Rhett looked down at her, she was lying on the huge leather couch in his study. Well he had told her to not eat that much at the picnic, but Scarlet liked her daughter to have a healthy appetite. Well she should deal with the consequences but right now his pregnant wife was sorting out his stepdaughter's birthday party. As much as he loved having Bonnie around he also had to sort out his cotton business, shipping business and the banks he owned there was always work being needed t be done.
"Look Bonnie why don't you go and see your mother." Rhett suggested. Where ever Scarlet was she wouldn't mind having Bonnie complain to her, they could both complain about each others problems to some servant. That was what Scarlet usually did take it out on someone else, usually him or some servant. Thankfully never the children, especially not Bonnie, oh never Bonnie despite every tantrum. Then she was always kind to Ella and firm with Wade.
"Mama is with Ella." Bonnie said walking up to the brandy bottle.
"Bonnie put that down! SCARLET!" Rhett roared running up to Bonnie.
When Scarlet arrived in her new blue gown with her huge stomach she caught sight of Bonnie in her fathers arms crying like hell had been lose. There was a fallen brandy bottle by Rhett' feet the content had fallen all over the Persian rug that had cost a fortune. Scarlet walked up to her husband and youngest child and let the child loose of her fathers strong arms.
"Bonnie what ever is the matter, Auntie Melanie has been here and she was ever so surprised with the amount of noise you produce. So you better tell mommy what's going on or I shall be ever so angry." Scarlet said. Bonnie left her father and sat on her mothers lap, hugging her mother tightly. Bonnie had to admit her mother had become quite nice since their holiday with grandmother. She liked her new mommy and didn't practically make her mommy angry.
"My stomach hurts!" Bonnie complained glaring at her father. Rhett sighed and walked back to his desk and fell into his huge armchair. Scarlet glared at him and hugged their daughter tightly.
"Do you want to play hide and seek?" Scarlet asked. A quick game wouldn't harm anyone and anyway, Ella's party had already been organized, there was plenty of spare time.
Bonnie nodded enthusiastically. Scarlet smiled and felt a bit dizzy. She ignored it and led her daughter out of the room. What she didn't know was what Belle had planned. But oh did she regret not knowing!
