I don't own SM! Or scenes from gone with the wind or the dresses! Or the dresses descriptions!

Serena lay down on the bed; she was so tiered, up half the night vomiting, curse being pregnant, she was miserable and 4 months pregnant. Darien slept in their room just so he could be there for his child. He didn't even want the child, but he felt responsible. He wasn't there for her and she didn't know why but she was distressed because of it. She suddenly felt hot tears spring from her eyes, She couldn't think of Darien or she would cry, but she did it anyway. Anyway, he was half drunk, he wouldn't notice, he was asleep on the armchair, he looked cold, his jacket acted as a blanket and a poor one at that. She sighed heavily and got up for it seemed the 5th time that night. She left the room and walked across the hall to one of the guest rooms. As she got inside she quickly walked to the bedside and stripped it of its blanket. She dragged the blanket across the hall and placed it cozily on Darien, he didn't stir. He smelled of brandy, it was so strong it was like he bathed in it. She tiredly walked to her bed and nearly collapsed on it, she was so tiered.

In the morning mammy entered with a big breakfast tray, Darien was like usual nowhere to be seen. He usually left in the early mornings now, he no longer waited for his wife of had breakfast with her. She sighed as mammy made small talk and placed the tray on her bed. She wanted to go out, shopping perhaps but mammy would not hear of it. She didn't want Serena stepping out of the house for the next 5 months. She often thought of how embarrassing it would be if Andrew dropped by, with her all pale and fat, with a chubbier look to her face and so on. But he didn't drop by, she hadn't seen him for awhile; she didn't miss him as much as she thought she would but maybe because she was always so preoccupied, except those lazy Sunday nights. She found herself missing Darien, she knew he only stayed around for the sake of the child, he didn't like her, nor was he fond of her.

Mammy noticed Serena in deep thought,

"Yous all rights Miz Serena?" she asked, She looked over at Mammy and nodded. Finally she finished breakfast. She sighed and sat back, after about an hour there was a knock.

"Who is it?" She questioned

"It's me, Mina." Said a sweet voice

"Come in." She said, Mina quietly entered the room, she spotted Serena and smiled, she proceeded over slowly,

"Serena, darling! How are you?" she asked as she bent down and kissed her on the cheek and sat in a chair next to Serena bed.

"Oh Mina, These god awful backaches and I'm sick almost all the time!" Serena complained

"Oh but darling… Isn't it worth it for a baby?" she asked

"Oh Serena, Once the baby comes, it'll be the most important thing to you, it changes everything, babies are just heavenly!" she squealed

"I envy how you and Captain Shields must be anticipating this. Oh darling don't get me wrong I am much excited when the baby comes William will have a cousin and Charles will have a playmate. But no one can be more excited about the upcoming birth of a child then its parents." she said

"Yes Mina, I am very excited." she lied quietly

"I think… Babies are a symbol of their parent's long lasting love. I wish Andrew and I could have more." she said sadly, Serena's eyes look blank, she didn't love Darien and this child wasn't a symbol of their so called love… this child was a mistake. She sighed

"Mina dear, I believe I have a headache." she lied

"Oh darling then rest! I'll be by later tomorrow to check on you." she insisted
