Ok I admit that last chapter was a little mean. I just couldn't help bu tleave it off there. I hadn't planned on waiting so long to post this chapter, butI just got busy. Anyway here is the next chapter. Enjoy!

I own everything. (Yeah Right!)

He was there. He had finally made it home. It had taken so long but he was finally home. He wasn't sure if he should knock or not. He decided to knock. He knocked, but there was no answer. 'Where is everyone? Why won't they answer?' The door was unlocked so he went on in. He heard low voices coming from upstairs. "Come on Scarlett just a little more." Then he heard a scream. He immediately recognized it as Scarlett and went running up the stairs. He was just about to opening the door when he heard the cries of a baby.

"It's a boy, Scarlett. Scarlett?" Dr. Meade's voice was heard.

"She can't hear you, she has just fallen asleep." Eleanor was hoping Scarlett was only sleeping.

Just behind the door Rhett was trying to take in what was going on. 'A baby, Scarlett had a baby. Whose baby is it?' Rhett didn't know what to do. 'Has Scarlett completely moved on? Was this someone else's baby?'

After checking that Scarlett was in fact only sleeping Dr. Meade asked, "You've got yourself a fine grandson Mrs. Butler. What do you think she will name him?"

Eleanor was holding the baby in her arms admiring him. "Well she once said that if it were a boy she would name it after Rhett, Rhett Kinnicut Butler Jr."

Outside Rhett let out a sigh of relief. 'It's mine. I have a son. Scarlett gave me a son.' Rhett knew that now might not be the best time to walk into the room and back into their lives. He really wanted to see his son but knew it should wait. He walked down the hall toward his room, hoping it was still there. When he opened the door he saw that his room hadn't been changed since the day he left. He decided to lie down for a bit, it had been a long couple of days.

"Dr. Meade Scarlett is going to be all right isn't she?" Eleanor was worried about how weak Scarlett seemed.

"She's still not in the clear, only time will tell. But like you said earlier she is strong." Dr. Meade hoped Scarlett would pull through.

Eleanor still held Rhett jr. in her arms not wanting to ever let him go, "I think it's about time to send for the children."

"Yes I believe your right. If you don't mind I would like to go home and freshen up and eat." Dr. Meade hadn't slept or ate since around 3 p.m. the previous day.

"Of course, you must be exhausted. I'll send for you if anything changes. Thank you for everything." Eleanor was very grateful for Dr. Meade.

Dr. Meade went out of the room and down the stairs. When he reached the door he saw a ragged bag. He knew it hadn't been there when he had come in, but he decided it was nothing.

Eleanor had sent one of the servants over to get the children. While she was left alone with Rhett jr. her thoughts wondered back to a day over 40 years ago when she held another baby boy in her arms that looked just like the one just she now held. All the sudden a longing for her son hit her out of no where, so she did the one thing she could to be closer to Rhett. She laid the sleeping baby down in a basinet beside Scarlett's bed and left the room. She went to Rhett's room and opened the door.

"AAAHHHH!" Eleanor screamed as she saw someone lying on the bed, "Oh my lord."

Rhett sat straight up in bed as he was awakened by a scream, "Mother."

"What? How in the world?" Eleanor was afraid maybe she was losing her mind.

"Momma it's me Rhett. I'm here." Rhett was overjoyed to see his mother. He got off the bed to hug her.

Eleanor backed away from Rhett, "Now it's not possible. You're dead, you're dead."

Rhett was horrified at the expression on his mother's face, "No momma it's me. I'm not dead. I swear I'm not dead. You have to believe me."

"How is it possible? The ship wreck, how did you survive? What took you so long to come back?" Eleanor couldn't understand how this was possible.

"I did survive the wreck barely. When I finally got to shore I lost consciousness. When I woke up I was in a dark room. I soon realized I was in a jail cell. When I was discovered on the beach, I was mistaken for a local criminal. They wouldn't believe that I was who I said. They had planned on sentencing me to death. Every time my trial was set it was postponed. I was there for over five months. When they finally went through with the trail, I was found guilty. I couldn't do anything about it; they just wouldn't believe me." Rhett watched as his mother tried to take all this information in.

"But Rhett, how did you get out?" Eleanor could hardly believe what she was hearing.

Rhett was glad his mother was realizing he was really there, "On the day I was supposed to be hanged they told me I was free to go. When I asked why they told me that the crime I was charged of had been committed again and they caught the man who did it. That man had admitted to committing my crime also. As soon as I got out I came here."

Eleanor was still in shock, "I can't believe your actually here. They told us you died in the wreck."

"Oh god Momma, I thought I wasn't ever going to see you again. I just knew I would never leave that place on my own two legs." Rhett again went to hug his mother, but this time he was met with open arms. Eleanor clung tightly to her first born child with tears rolling down her face.

"Grandma, where are you?" They heard Ella's voice call out

Rhett wanted so badly to run out into the hall and see his child, that's what they were his children truly. He had been there since they were very little. "Momma you should go to them. I can't just walk out there and let them see me."

Eleanor didn't want to leave her son so soon after just getting him back, "All right, but promise me you'll be here when I get back."

Rhett grinned, "I will, I promise."

Don't forget to tell me what you think.
