A/N: I confused some people with the whole Rhett thing..including myself.
If you were one of them, then this is what is up:
Rhett knows about Cat, and visits once in a while (much to Scarlett's pleasure.lol) He lives in Dublin, with his wife, Anne and their two children, Rhett Jr. and Melanie (much to Scarlett's displeasure, lol). Ballyhara is fine, there was no fire or anything like that.
Just as soon as I get this one up, I will fix it!!!
Got it? Good..now read on..and don't forget to review! Teehee!!

Cat's Story
Chapter 4- Family Togetherness (well, almost)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"That sounds grand," said Cat contentedly, "Dinner was excellent, by the way."
"Thank you, it wasn't much," replied Meg modestly.
"It was perfect in every way," said Cat, a dreamy look in her eyes as she thought of how Seamus was looking at her.
The four were just sitting down in the parlor, Seamus with his fiddle, when there was a loud knock at the door. "Police, let us in!" said a loud, harsh voice with an English accent.
"Everyone stay calm, I will take care of this," said Kane. Then he slowly made his way over to the door. Opening the door, he said to the English officer, "Why sir, I don't understand, why are you disturbing the peace of our home?"
"You know very well why," said the officer in a forceful manner.
"Actually, I would be much obliged if you told me."
"You didn't pay rent last month, and it was due four weeks ago."
Kane gulped and then went on. "Oh yes, I remember now," he said, wringing his hands, "Well, you see, ummm, uhhh, the harvest was rather bad this year, and uhh, we couldn't make the money."
"Oh, well in that case, you are under arrest, and your family has fifteen minutes to gather their belongings, for you are also evicted," the officer said with malice, emphasizing the words evicted and arrest.
"Oh no he isn't!" exclaimed Cat, who was rather angry now at the way her cousin-in-law was being treated. "How much does he owe?"
"The oh-so-gracious amount of two hundred pounds."
"You call that gracious?!?!?!" She was now standing on her good leg. "That's practically a whole harvest's worth of money! Well, sir, if you could wait until tomorrow about that money, you will definitely get it."
"I'm sorry miss, but we can't wait, it is needed now."
'Probably for a pint at the pub for the men,' thought Cat. "Well then, how about a hundred now, and another hundred tomorrow?"
"That is fine, how may I ask, miss, that you acquired so much money?"
"Do you know who I am!?!?" Cat cried, anger evident in her emerald eyes, "I am Katie Colum O'Hara, daughter of Scarlett O'Hara, owner of the town Ballyhara, and Rhett Butler is my father. Does that answer your question? How dare you!"
"Oh my, I am dreadfully sorry," the officer said shakily.
"Just take the money and be on your way," she said, and shoved a leather pouch full of money into his hands. "If you want the rest, then come to the Big House in Ballyhara tomorrow at one p.m."
"Thank you, and uhh, sorry for disturbing your evening."
"By the way, what is your name?"
"C-Campbell, L-Lieutenant Campbell."
Cat then slammed the door in his face, and hopped over to the couch she was lounging on before.
"Well, that was exciting, don't you think?"
Everyone just stared, especially Seamus. 'What a woman,' he thought. He was falling fast, and didn't even realize it.
"What are you all looking at? I'm dreadfully tired, and would like to go to sleep now. I am so sorry that I am going to miss the music and dancing. Meg darling, could you lend me a nightdress? Oh, and I will have to leave first thing in the morning, thank you all very much for your kindness."
Meg, who was the first to come out of the trance, jumped up, in spite of her protruding stomach, and quickly hurried down the hall. Kane and Seamus just stared at the spot where Cat had been.
In the bedroom, Meg was helping Cat get undressed.
"I just wanted to say thank you for what you did earlier," Meg said as she untied Cat's corset.
"Oh that, well, don't mention it, you all are family, and I am sure you would have done the same for me."
Meg pulled her into a tight hug. "But we couldn't have."
Cat broke the embrace, and looked Meg straight in the eyes. "If you are ever in any kind of trouble again, you know where to find me. Always."
"I will. Now lets get you to bed, you have a long trip ahead of you in the morning, and you have to be back in Ballyhara by one. Pleasant dreams."
"You too. Oh, and Meg darling, feel free to visit the Big House anytime."
Meg nodded and walked out of the room, closing the door softly behind her.
