Rhett sat there, looking blankly at her. He didn't know what to say.
Scarlett lay there in bed, waiting for him to say something to her. She
knew that she wanted to keep it. Now she would have something else to
remind her of Rhett, even if he left her again. "Indeed," said Rhett. "You
know its your baby. But this time I want it," she said. "Are you going to
stay here or go back to Tara?" he asked. "Well I was going to go home to
Tara," she said. Rhett seemed disappointed. "Do you want me to go?" she
asked. "Not now," said Rhett. "I want you to stay. I want to take care of
you and make sure that nothing happens to you," he said. Scarlett was
startled; Rhett was never this open about his feelings. But she was glad
that he wanted her to stay. She didn't want to leave.
The next week, they spent more time than they had ever spent together. They went for walks, and they sat and talked in the living room together. They usually slept in their own rooms, but now Rhett slept in Scarlett's bed with her.
Scarlett was happy that Rhett was showing his feelings to her like this, but somehow now she felt different. She got what she wanted. She was back with Rhett in her house, and now they were going to have a baby. And Rhett was more attentive to her than ever. But somehow it just wasn't enough.
