A new life in a better way. Chapter 2: First steps in family with visitors from Dunsany and letters!
Again I do not own Gtw and Scarlett's characters. I just gave names to Kathleen's children!
It was late when they arrived at the hotel!
They were must explain to the guardian from the Jury's hotel what the matter was.
Learned their adventure and their escape, the man decided to be nice with them.
Particularly on account of the so adorable little green yelled eyes girl.
"We're hungry, it's late I know but can we have got some food to eat?" asked Rhett.
"I will do my best to this sir!"
After only a few moments he came back and said that it's was arranged.
"Well thank you a lot, you're helpful, without mention affable." commented Rhett giving a big tip to him.
"That's nothing!" said the man.
Then, a woman arrived and showed them their table. She received a big tip too!
Scarlett looked Rhett and like her, his eyes seemed to say: "It's the moment!"
"Cat, we have to tell you about a thing you must know!" began by saying Scarlett.
"What's it about?" simply demanded the girl.
"Your father!" answered Scarlett.
"Oh!" just said Cat, surprised. In her head of four age's girl she thought she hasn't got one.
The only men her mother and she had in their life since her birth was Colum, the godfather and Luke, a friend when he went riding in Ballyhara.
"Who's he?" asked the girl.
Rhett took the floor:
"Darling, I'm your father."
Mouth gapping, she looked at Rhett. That was she answer she hoped for.
"You really are?" asked Cat again.
"Yes he is" contested Scarlett.
"And daddy will stay with us forever?"
"For sure sweet heart!" assured Rhett and Scarlett joining their voice.
She has again a question to ask.
"Why I hadn't meet you before!"
Rhett smiled and invented to her a story about a big tempest, how much he was sick
and so he was unable to come for meet his daughter.
He told her that Scarlett thought he was dead in the tempest.
When he learned where Scarlett was he decided to come immediately and he was very happy to discover he had a so great daughter.
"I love you very much Katie Colum Dara O'Hara ...Butler."
"Katie Colum Dara O'Hara Butler" repeated Cat.
"Is that my full name? I love it same it's a little long!
We can keep Cat for the everyday life like we always did!"
"Certainly" responded by the same way the parents.
During the late dinner, they told to Cat about Wade and Ella.
"That's so nice!" exclaimed the daughter.
Each ate the dinner and then the servants showed to Cat her room.
The young girl was enchanted by it!
"What excellents nights sleeps I will have!" she thoughts.
Except if the bad men were here to catch her!
That the thing who frightened her. She decided to ask at her parents:
"The nasty people will never can find us here?" wondered Cat a little worried.
"They can't!" said Rhett with an assured voice.
"Momma, Daddy, I love you!"
"So we do charming young girl!"
They hugged her very strongly.
All were so exhausted cause of this passionate but hard day
that the parents spend their wedding night in the room with their baby daughter,
in the big bed of the room, sleeping quietly since the beginning of the morning!
When he was awake Rhett laughed at him self,
it's was the most strange wedding night in the whole world!
Scarlett awaked just a few minutes later; she smiled at him, sawing him kissed
Cat on her head.
"How is my precious little wife today?" he asked.
"I feel very well because I got you and Cat!" she smiled a little anxious and added
"And I hope I will have Wade and Ella with us too.
I'm so sorry about denied them so long!
Can they again love me?"
Rhett put his two fingers, one on his chin and the other on his forward,
meaning him he reflected a lot!
"If you want my opinion, these children had suffered a lot.
And it's not totally of your fault, Scarlett but it is because of the period they born.
We both know you never loved the two of their respective biologically fathers
(I fell I'm their father in my heart.)
But I'm sure same if that it is you will learn to love and knew them.
The matter is not Charles of Franck, Wade and Ella had never known them.
Charles died when you were pregnant and Franck when Ella had less of 1 year,
and so the problem is the hard time that pushed you to find money outside
whereas you should have cherished them inside.
If I have not wrong Wade should be fifteen or sixteen and Ella about twelve.
You can repair and be a better mother...."
"That exactly what I looking for! Wade now turns into a young man,
now with his sixteen years old and I want to be there for him.
Idem for Ella, at twelve, it's the beginning of the adolescent age.
It's an important moment for a young girl. She must need her mother with her. No?
Circumstances have done I spoiled my older children childhoods,
I must give to them a perfect teenage time.
Like you just said, they are unfortunately children of the war, they had suffered.
They were no fatherless because you have paternal feelings for them
but since now completely motherless.
They miss too not knowing the men who generated them.
The lost of their aunt and their sister too.
The only thing they actually don't miss is roof, food and money
but without attention all that is nothing!"
"I really enjoy the Scarlett mature version! "Without attention, money is nothing!"
Did you find it totally alone?" spoke ironically Rhett.
"No! The children and you helped me much!"
Never an answer of her was if true and sincere thought Rhett
except maybe the "Yes I do" during their last wedding.
A treasure with a face of a little girl did that her parents let their thoughts
to take care of her.
"Mom, Dad! I'm awake!"
"Hello Kitty Cat, how are you?"
Scarlett and Rhett noticed with a great pleasure that Cat didn't wait at all
to call her father "Daddy".
"We are very well and you?"
"I'm fine, thank you."
Katie Colum Dara O'Hara Butler was the perfect example of the little girl always active.
After the breakfast she asked:
"What did you plan today? Can we play together?"
"First, I have to go outside my darling.
I must check if my business in Galway is all right and then
we can go to the zoo the afternoon with your mother!"
"I don't fell like stay inside, may I go with you?"
"You can but you will get bored, I only have to go at the bank to sign some boring papers!"
"I want to go with you! I don't care if I will bored"
All in what Cat has just say reminded to Rhett her died big sister Bonnie
that did laughed but made him sad at the time!
"Scarlett?" asked Rhett.
"Oh, if you just go at the bank, I'm agreeing.
I stay here because I have to write to the Benteen and toWade and Ella too."
"My older brother and sister, you told me about last night?"
"Yes, that is it!"
"When I'll come back with daddy, can I'll write to them too?
Aunt Harriet taught me the whole alphabet, and I begin to write now!"
"That's look to me a splendid idea, my angel!" said Scarlett full of joy and of
emotion in her voice. Finally, the three children will be link soon!
"They will be certainly very happy, sweetie!" pursued her father.
"I believe you must write to your businesses too, Mrs. Butler!"
"Except Tara and Ballyhara, I'd sell everything!"
"What do you think about that Rhett darling?" wondered Scarlett at herself.
He was astonished by the news.
"You will never stop to surprise me my dear wife!" he simply said.
"So you come with me, Cat?"
The little girl confirmed and then, both left Scarlett at the hotel.
She smiled, Rhett will not change: still be mad about kids and especially of his daughters.
"At work now!" said Scarlett.
In the little desk of the room, Scarlett began to write the letters to her family
in her beloved Tara. She announced them their soon arrival in Georgia and the existence of her youngest daughter, without forget the fact she will bring the children in Atlanta.
My dears Will and Suellen,
I hope everyone is fine in Tara and that my sister is not busy with Wade and Ella!
I want to say that I did a big mistake letting them here in Tara for four years,
far away of me and of their little sister, Katie Colum Dara O'Hara Butler.
You should know our marital problems we had Rhett and I since Bonnie death.
That why I leave in Ireland living with our O'Hara relatives.
Long story to explain why and how but Rhett and I are back together.
We come back to live in Atlanta and will be in Tara in one month.
Take care, I will see you soon.
Kisses from and to everyone: Scarlett O'Hara Butler.
That was enough and sufficient for her sister she thought, the hardiest letter will be for her children.
My precious Wade and Ella,
I hope you are all right and as happy that you can.
I love you both and I want your happiness.
What about to come with me and Rhett in Atlanta?
We are back together and we want nothing more than live with our three children.
And be a family again but forever this time.
I'm sorry to have not told about your youngest sister Katie Colum Dara O'Hara Butler.
She is the daughter I had with Rhett just before I leave.
She was born on 30th October 1875; she is full of live and wants to meet you!!!!!!
I'm sorry about I had to work before and so I couldn't take care of you like I will hoped for!
Please remember that is the past that future will be much better if you decide to come.
You are really free to choose to stay in Tara or not.
I'm able to understand if you prefer to not come with us.
Wade, you love Tara as much as myself, and Ella, you may link friendship with your cousins
but Rhett and I, we plan to visit Tara during holidays. So you'll see them again.
What you choose, Rhett Cat and I, will be visiting you, in one month, we leave Ireland
by the first ship that can bring us to America! Please forgive me I love you.
Kitty Cat includes a little word to you. I can't wait to know you're answer!
Take care: Momma!
"Ô I have to write to Luke too! What drudgery!" told Scarlett at herself.
She hated the man so much!
Count Fenton,
I write you in order to cancel our engagement! I do not love you and you do not love me!
Cant and I, we don't need you.
To tell you the truth, I just wanted marry you to take your money
to my Cat but it will be no honest because you wanted an heir and cause
of my difficult pregnancy, I can't have children anymore.
My husband is not died like I was thinking and with Cat we are a family now.
I hope you will not try to find us.
I think Rhett will kill you if only you intend something about his daughter or me.
You see she's not a bastard like you were thinking.
I hope you will be able to love one day; you're a pity to this point for the moment.
Money, honors and all this are nothing you know.
Sincerely yours: Scarlett O'Hara Butler.
"Sir! Can I know what you do with this child with you?" arrested a young woman,
with a charming little boy and a very nice baby.
"I do a walk with my daughter and she is just sleeping!"
contested Rhett frowned and a Cat deeply asleep in his arms.
"Funny but she can't be your daughter!"
"She is!" said Rhett a little angry now.
What the matter was with this woman? he wondered.
"You know Sir, I'm her second godmother and I see she's without her momma!"
"Are you one of Scarlett's cousins?" he interrupted.
"Yes my name is Kathleen O'Hara O'Connor but you can't be Scarlett husband..."
"No, I'm not died as you think and Scarlett and other thought too!"
He explained to her the story he told to Cat about the tempest and everything.
"Please accept my deep apology I didn't know that!"
"That's nothing!" he assured.
"Please understand I just arrived of Ballyhara and when I saw this disaster,
and my brother grave I went crazy and pained thinking,
that in more we can have hurt Scarlett and Cat!"
Rhett put a moment of silence in the conversation then said:
"I am so sorry for your brother. I was with my wife to receive his last words,
he told us that he was sorry to can't say goodbye to all the O'Hara family
and he asked us to take care of Cat for him.
I wish I can know him better, your brother looked into a great father...
and a great man too!" commented Rhett full of respect in his voice.
"Excuse me Mrs. O'Connor, I'm not introduce to you correctly,
my name is Mr. Rhett Kinnicut Butler. Please call me Rhett!"
"Kathleen, after all you're my cousin by relatives.
Is Scarlett all right?" asked the woman a little worried!
"Fine but a little tired by the recent events!"
"Where is she?"
"At the hotel, maybe you want to come with us, we just come back to the bank;
we returned at the hotel when we met you!"
"All right I follow u Mr. ... I mean Rhett!"
"Aunt Kathleen, I'm glad you here!"
said Cat seeing the cousin of her mother by her side
"May I hold her?" asked shyly Kathleen.
"Of course you can!" contested Rhett.
She took the child in her arms, giving her boy Sean to Rhett,
and kissed Cat's dark hair repeated:
"My God, thank you a lot, she has nothing!"
Rhett could hear what she said very well.
During the way in direction of the hotel, Kathleen introduced to Rhett:
Sean, her son and her baby daughter Scarlett Katherine Mary O'Connor.
Scarlett because of Scarlett of course and cause of their grandmother too.
Katherine and Mary because it was the name of the mothers of her and her husband.
Rhett explained everything with more details.
"We are back!" said Cat joyfully to her mother pushing the door of their room in the hotel.
"You did speed the travel at the banck!"
"Guess who we had find on the way?"
"I don't know darling!"
Rhett entered in the room:
"Hello my wife! I invited your cousin and her two charming children!"
"Kathleen, I'm so glad you're here!"
"So I am!"
Tears in their eyes they thought about Colum,
Rhett had taken the children at the restaurant of the hotel to take a soda and an ice cream,
waiting for the lunch time.
For the first time since Kathleen learnt the death of her brother,
she began to cry in her cousin's arms.
They spoke of Colum, of the O'Hara and then of Rhett and Cat!
"It's so miraculous, I have my husband alive!"
"I'm so happy for you my Scarlett!"
Both smiled now! Scarlett told her that Cat and her will leave Ireland with Rhett.
"That so logical!" commented Kathleen.
Then Scarlett made promise Kathleen to come with her kids and husband Kevin visit them.
"I don't care if you are very homesick; you know you will see Dunsany when you will be back!"
"I promise to come next year if Kevin is agreeing.
His brother could look after our farmer during one month or two!"
"But where is Kevin?" said Scarlett remembered her cousin husband.
"He's in Ballyhara, looking for you and Cat all over the wood!
He will come take me here in two days; Dunsany is not sure for the moment!"
"Oh, I'm sure, it will be all right, don't worry my dear!"
"We'll see what he'll say Scarlett!"
Scarlett said again how much she was sorry for Colum,
And for the fact they hadn't time to bring her for Colum's funeral.
Kathleen assured to Scarlett that she approved what her husband
and she has done since these events.
"Rhett and you had no choice, Scarlett!"
That turned the conversation about Rhett.
"In what way, you had find he was still alive?"
"It was him who found me and Cat. I was so happy!"
"He looks so happy to have you and Cat, darling!"
"Yes, he truly is!"
"And
what Cat is thinking about her father!"
"She loves him so
much! She's enchanted and so he's!"
"That's sound me fabulous!"
Scarlett smiled, Kathleen had really true! It was!
At the restaurant of the hotel, everyone had a wonderful lunchtime.
Rhett had invited everyone.
After, Kathleen announced that she had to go to the telegraph office,
In order to warn her husband that Scarlett and Cat were safe.
"Can I come with you?" said Sean. The little boy loved very much his father.
He hasn't seen him since 2 days and he missed him.
"If you want!" contested the mother.
"When you will come back, we'll go to the zoo together!" promised Scarlett.
They finished the lunch, Kathleen and Sean went outside and Rhett and Scarlett,
with their Kitty Cat came back at their room.
"Can I write to Wade and Ella, now?" asked the little girl.
"Certainly Cat!" said the mother overjoyed.
"I need you help to do this Momma!" did remark the girl. She pursued:
"I don't want there is a mistake in my letter for my brother and sister!"
"All right my baby!" replied Scarlett more and more overjoyed.
"Daddy, do you want to do the letter with Momma and me?"
"No, darling because I have myself a letter for my mother to do!"
"Do the daddies have mothers too?" asked a very surprised Cat.
"Yes, everyone had one!"
"And daddies have daddies?"
"Yes, it's the same way!"
"So I will write to write your momma and your daddy too!"
"My daddy lives in heaven now. He leaves us because he was sick!"
"I'm so sorry daddy. I guess it's the same way for momma's dad and mom!"
"Yes, you're true darling!" said Scarlett.
"Everyone let us when they become old and sick! I don't want you leave me!"
"Don't worry, you mother and me are not so old my precious!"
"Your mother must be old, so she will let us too!" contested Cat sadly.
"She may be old but I don't think she's ready yet to leave this world for the heaven,
without have met her granddaughter. In more she is in a wonderful health."
"I'm glad to hear that. And do you have brother and sister?"
"I've got a brother and a sister my sweetheart!
Your aunt, Rosemary Butler and your Uncle Ross Butler!"
"And you momma?"
"I've got two sisters. Aunt Suellen and Aunt Carreen.
"I want to...."
"Write to them, we know darling!'" said joyfully the parents.
Cat was very happy to discover more and more about her family.
About her Uncle Will and her cousins Susie, Martha and Jane Benteen!
So with joy, the little family began their epistolary work.
"Cat really wants to see her family reunified. I want it too. I hope God will
listen to us!" though Scarlett in her head!
Patiently, the parents made the letters with their daughter.

She is about her five years old and she is really wonderful.
Some mistakes happened in my story with Scarlett but that is the past.
I remarried with her yesterday and I fell very happy.
I did not do that only because of Cat (the nickname of Katie) but because
Scarlett is the woman of my life. I love her, you can't imagine how much.
We succeeded to pass on our different and keep only the best.
What matters if we hadn't find a note of her when she had left?
She told me she had let one and for once I believe her.
I hope you won't be shocked by this news.
I will come back with my wife and my daughter in visit to see you.
So I will see you about around one month.
Please take care and be happy of my actual happiness.
Your beloved son and brother: Rhett.K. Butler.
Dears Ross and Margaret,

Katie Colum Dara O'Hara Butler, our daughter with Scarlett.
Mother will explain you everything with more details.
I would just warned you about your new niece.
Sincerely: Rhett Butler.
Dears Wade and Ella,
What a silly thing I've done leaving you, your mother and sister.
I want to repair this enormous mistake.
You may be mad at me, aren't you?
I hope not too much!
Can I confidence you something?
I was so heartbroken with the death of your sister and so did your
mother that we had forget to take care of you.
I know we shouldn't denied you.
There were no reason, you loved Bonnie as much as us.
You too had suffered.
But now you have another sister and we can be a family!
Without forget Bonnie, we can be it with Cat now.
I will tell you another of my secret,
I always considered both of you like my own children!
I'm full of respect for both of your fathers but like I
would like you call me "Dad" same if it's pretentious.
With your agreement of course!
All five, we need a new beginning.
Please answer at me or at your mother.
We need and want to know your feelings!
See you soon. I miss you. Rhett who loves each of you!
"Darling, I've just finished!!" said Rhett.
"Good, I just go in the other piece to see if baby Scarlett is
awake yet!" contested joyfully Scarlett.
"All right my pet! Now we just need to wait Kathleen and Sean!"
"Someone had told about us?" contested the woman.
"Perfect timing" contested at his turn Rhett seeing
Scarlett just coming back with Cat and the baby.
"Hello Kathleen, Scarlett had done a wonderful nap. She seems to fit up in scratch now!"
"Perfect then! So what about the zoo now?" laughed Kathleen.
"We'll go right away but first did you have some news of Kevin?" asked Scarlett.
"Yes we have, interrupted Sean and they're not bad at all!"
"I'm glad to hear that young boy."
"Sean, do you know that I can speak without help, yes we hade good news!
Dunsany is safer now and Kevin will come in two days to bring us at home!"
"I want to see the babies bears and the babies lions too!" exclaimed Cat.
"Your wishes are my commands my Kitty Cat!" agreed the father.
So the six (include Kathleen's baby) went to visit the zoo after posted the mails.
They all spent a fun afternoon with all the animals.
That the way took the next two weeks! Kevin went like he had promise to catch wife
and children at home two days after the afternnon at the zoo.
Scarlett tried to convince him to come next year in visit with his family.
He contented to smile and said: "We'll see my dear!"
In change he promised to Scarlett to be there with Kathleen Sean and Scarlett to her departure
with her family for America.
Between zoo, stores and the market of Galway, the three were very busy.
Cat absolutely wanted bring with her beautiful presents for her family.
She still waited for the answers of everyone.
For Ella she had chosen elegant ribbons multi collared and Irish pellicoat colored too.
For Wade, knifes and Irish clothes and costumes.
To Uncle Will, she had chosen the same way.
Jewellery cheep but nice for Suellen.
To her cousins, doll for the youngest and for the two older the same as Ella.
"To Granny, it will be a pretty and warm shawl!"
Then, she took two different books about Ireland for Aunts Rosemary and Margaret.
To Uncle Ross, her father told her he was keen on of woods objects.
So she decided to take a wood sculpture that represented a proud cavalier on his horse.
To Aunt Careen, that was easier cause the fact she was a religious: a beautiful rosary.
To Ashley and Harriet: books about Ireland mythology.
To Billy and Beau: books about horses and wood contructions.
To Eulalie and Pauline: glassware objects and warns coverage for the next winter.
Fortunately her parents helped her very much for choosing the gifts.
Six days after the letters were posters, the answers arrived.
Practically, all said the same in different words:
"Thank for the drawing, we can't wait to see all of you three!"
But Cat favourite answer was Wade and Ella letter!
Dear's beloved parents and sister!
We can't wait to see you. It's great you come back soon! Ella has already begin
to package the luggage's. We were much moved by you letters.
Dad, please take care of Momma and Momma take care of Cat.
We don't pardon you right now, we have already done it before!
We understand very well.
You remarriage make us surprised and glad.
Now we're counting the days!
We love and miss you too. Please don't doubt about that.
It's so marvellous and unbelievable we're a family again!
Kisses, we patiently waiting for you: your beloved teenage children.
In more Ella and Wade had added a drawing too especially for her.
It represented a teenage boy and a teenage girl kissed a younger child
in front of a big shinning sun. What she could have more? Nothing!
Like her mom she was more than overjoyed if it was possible!
Scarlett didn't stop singing, dancing, kissing her and Rhett.
Cat noticed she has never seen her mother in such state of bliss!
And so did Rhett!
So funny when it was time to prepared all the packets and luggages!
Scarlett sat down at the trunk, trying to close it!
Her parents laughed so much that she laughed with them too!
"It's our last evening in Ireland sweetie." said Scarlett to Cat.
"I know Momma; we'll take the boat tomorrow morning!"
"Are you sad about it, darling?"
"No, I want to go in America!"
"I love you, Cat."
"So I do, momma."
She kissed Cat and went to her room to join Rhett.
"She will be asleep in a few seconds!"
"All right, she's not too much nervous?"
"Not at all! She's very determined for doing the trip!"
It was so good to be in Rhett's arms again after all these years!
Scarlett wished that the night could during forever!
The next morning all the family was in her "starting block" for the departure.
Indeed, the "Brian Boru" embarked his passengers at precisely 10 o'clock.
So they took their breakfast very rapidly at the hotel, they was yet a little late.
On the quay, they found the O'Connor like it was convinced!
"Bye I will miss you Kathleen!" said Scarlett a little blue!
"Me too darling!" contested Mrs O'Connor, very moved too!
The two women hold the other in their arms with a promise to keep in touch!
Kathleen hold Cat a last time and then shake hands with Rhett!
Scarlett did the same with Kevin and hugged her cousin's children!
Kevin hugged Cat and shake hands with Rhett!
Nobody was forgotten, it was goodbye's time!
A last sign with the hand from everyone and Rhett, Scarlett and Cat went.
In the footbridge, they were a family like the other.
The new life can begin now. Soon the family will be reunified!
End of chapter 2! I know it's not the best but read and jugde of that!
For the next chapter I plan to tell you about the 2 weeks of journey!
With all my love: Soña.
