Yay!! I am so glad I surprised everyone!! I've been busting for that one. I started writing this story because I wanted her to have twins! ;) Thanks for lovin' the story, and thanks for the lovin'.
Here is some for you.
------------------------------------------
Scarlett woke up several hours later to see Evelien and Maria with the babies rocking them.
She moaned softly to let them know she was awake.
Evelien looked up from the precious boy she was holding.
"Good afternoon mommy." Evelien said sweetly.
Scarlett pushed herself up gently to sit a little higher in the bed. Maria put the little girl in her crib and went to assist Scarlett.
"Dr. Gustav came by while you were sleeping." She said as she propped some pillows up behind Scarlett's back and head.
"High time he showed up. Is he still here?" Scarlett asked.
"Yes, he is reading in the drawing room just outside." Evelien answered.
"You may show him in."
"Yes Madame." Maria said.
"Well congratulations Catherine. Well done." Dr. Gustav said entering the room.
"It was only because of these two wonderful women."
"I am sorry I was not able to be here sooner. I came as soon as I received word."
Scarlett did not reply, instead she reached her arms out wanting a baby.
Maria brought over the baby girl.
"What's her name going to be Duchesse?" Dr Gustav asked.
Scarlett looked down at the bundle in her arms. The little girl had black hair just like her parents. Her eyes were tight shut, for she was still sleeping. She was so small, and her skin was alabaster. She looked at her for a while forgetting all other people in the room. Tears started to well up in her eyes.
Oh Rhett, how I wish you were here to see your beautiful baby girl.
All that I did wrong, I will make right in my children...she vowed to herself.
"We shall call her Camellia." Scarlett said with love.
Dr. Gustav took out his book to write down her name.
"What will her full name be?" he asked.
Scarlett paused and smiled then began, "Camellia Katriane Ellenor Robillard Butler."
The doctor raised his head quite impressed.
"That is quite a name." Evelien commented.
Scarlett smiled again.
"My late husband used to grow Camellias. They were his treasure. I didn't understand how much they meant to him. Even though he can not appreciate it, I hope to make it up to him..."
Camellia's name had other meanings too.
Katriane meant pure and clear. Scarlett felt she was given a fresh start and wanted to reflect that in her daughter. Ellenor was a combination for her mother and her mother-in-law, without the love from both of those women, Camellia may not have been born.
Overall Scarlett was pleased with her daughter's name.
"And, how about your son?" the Doctor asked after making his notes.
Maria exchanged babies for Scarlett so that she could look upon him while naming him as well.
She was sure he would look just like Rhett...as she gazed upon her son his name just came to her. "Rhett Mathieu Pierre Robillard Butler II."
As the doctor made his notes, he mentioned, "they will both have your title, so 'de Berri' will follow their names."
Scarlett smiled. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
He smiled and closed his book.
"Ok." He said, "I will register their names and births and you will have their birth certificates in a day or two."
Dr. Gustav put his writing down and went over to check on Scarlett's condition.
After examining her, he determined she would need a few weeks to recover properly so that she would not risk not being able to have more children.
"So continue to take it easy, and perhaps hire another nursemaid so babies will be equally taken care of until you can be up on your feet. I will send over a wheelchair for you so you can take fresh air, but I do not want you walking around for at least a few weeks."
"Ok, doctor. I promise."
She reached out for her son, and began their first session of feeding.
Scarlett was never so happy in her life...
There was only one thing missing...
---------------------------------------------
K, love you guys. Gotta run. Hope there aren't too many errors in this chapie. But I wanted to give you all your fix.
By the way Mathieu in Rhett Junior's name means 'Gift of God', and Pierre means 'a rock'. So very rich names for her children.
I haven't decided if we should call Jr. by Rhett or by Mathieu.
How bout we make it up to you...let me know what you prefer and I will take it into consideration...
See you soon!
