Author's Note: Hey everyone. I just read through my entire story to remind
myself everything that I wrote about so long ago. I noticed on mistake I
made. I said that the party was on April 28 because that is my birthday,
which actually worked out really well since it's almost April 28 now.
Anyway, after that chapter I must have forgotten and I gave Scarlett a
Christmas dress. So if any of you remember, I am changing her dress from a
green and red velvet dress, to a green and white silk dress. Hope you enjoy
this chapter. (
Rhett stood in the doorway surprised. "You want me to help you undress?"
Scarlett giggled. "Well, you were about to do it a few minutes ago. What's so wrong about doing it now?"
"Nothing, you've just never asked me to get you ready for bed before." Rhett walked over to Scarlett's closet and picked out a nightgown for her to wear. He slowly approached her and began to unfasten her dress. It was incredibly difficult for him to slip the nightgown over her head after he had full disrobed her, but he was too worried about her to let his passion take over.
Rhett leaned down and delicately kissed Scarlett's lips, then he slowly turned around and began to leave.
"Where are you going?" Scarlett asked.
Rhett could see that she wanted him to stay with her that night, so even though he knew the temptation would be torture for him, he said, "I'm just going to change. I'll be right back, darling."
"Oh, good." Scarlett smiled. She would finally be able to feel his arms around her again. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Scarlett waited impatiently for Rhett to come back to her. She longed to feel the safety in his embrace. She had been so lonely for so long, especially since she had lost the baby she knew had been a little girl. Scarlett brushed her hair absentmindedly as she thought about her lost daughter, hoping that she would someday have another child. 'I never thought that I would actually wish for a child.' She thought to herself. 'I finally understand why Melly is so disappointed that she can't have any more children. Oh, how I wish that Melanie and Ashley could have a little girl. Melly would just love a daughter.'
"Scarlett?" Rhett said, snapping her out of her thoughts. "Now what had you so distracted that you didn't even hear me? I called your name at least three times. It wasn't.." Rhett trailed off, deciding not to make a joke about Ashley. He didn't want Scarlett to think that he still believed she loved Ashley.
"As a matter of fact," Scarlett said, "I was thinking about him." Rhett was stunned with this response, but before he could say anything Scarlett continued. "I was thinking about how sad it is that he and Melanie can never have a little girl. I just know that they would love a daughter. And I was thinking about how I hope I can have another child someday." Scarlett said seriously, looking into Rhett's eyes. Rhett began to speak, but Scarlett cut him off. "I know it may be dangerous now that I had the miscarriage, but someday I want to have another child." She took a deep breath. "What do you think?"
"I think you must have hit your head when you fell down the stairs." He replied without thinking. He realized too late exactly what he had said. He watched Scarlett's face fall. "Oh, my pet, I'm so sorry."
"No, Rhett let me speak. This isn't something that is incredibly recent. When I found out I was pregnant, I was ecstatic. I couldn't wait to tell you that we were having a baby, but that day, you looked so angry to be home. I.. I couldn't show you how I really felt, because I had too much pride. I'm sorry now for that. Maybe.." She sighed. "No, it's too late for maybes. I just need you to know that I wanted that child. And I still want a child. I don't want to replace the baby I lost, but I just feel like it's right, now. I want to have another child with you." Scarlett stopped and waited for a response and when she didn't get one said, "You're worrying me. You don't usually have no comment."
"Well, we don't usually want to have such serious discussions." Rhett took a deep breath. He knew he needed to tread lightly, so that he wouldn't upset Scarlett. "I'm not sure if it's a good idea for you to get pregnant again Scarlett. You had a horrible fall, two actually. I would love more than anything to have another child, but I don't want to risk losing you in that process. Like I said earlier, I'll talk to Dr. Meade tomorrow and find out how dangerous it is. For now, I think that's as far as we can go with this. If Dr. Meade says that you are fine, then we can try to have another child." Rhett chuckled.
"What is it?" Scarlett asked.
"I just never thought that you and I would ever discuss having children. I thought I was locked out of your room and your life forever." He smiled at her.
"I didn't either." Scarlett said just as she began to yawn. "Oh, I think it's time to sleep. I'm so exhausted, and I want to make sure that I can dance all night tomorrow."
"You do remember your promise to me right?" Rhett asked.
"Yes, I do. Don't worry. If I get too tired I will let you know right away and we can come home. Now, may I go to sleep, sir?"
"Oh, of course Madame. Is there anything you would like me to do for you?" He asked.
Scarlett gave him a shy smile. "Hold me?" She asked simply as she crawled into the bed. Rhett walked over to her deliberately and said, "of course."
Another A/N Hey guys. I just wanted to let you know that I set out writing this chapter, intending for it to be the last, but I ended up writing something that just popped into my head, so there's still at least one more chapter, which I have had in my mind for months now. I'm only posting this now, because I want to go to sleep, but I really wanted to upload a chapter as soon as I could. So here it is. I hope you all liked it.
