Chapter 4
When Rhett arrived home, Scarlett was asleep and his mother wanted him to eat something before he went up to see her. Rhett asked how Scarlett had been the past couple of months.
"She's had a few problems with morning sickness the past few days and she fainted yesterday when that lawyer of yours came to call. Besides that she's been fine."
"He said the doctor put her on bed rest?"
"Well, yes but that was just to play it safe. Rhett, you don't really believe that this baby is yours, do you?"
Rhett looked at his sister in disbelief. 'What would make her say that, of course it's my baby. Who else's could be the father? "Yes, I don't know why you'd think that it wasn't."
"You told me you didn't want her, and that you haven't slept with her in years that's why. How could she be with your child if you haven't slept with her?"
"Well, if it was appropriate for me to answer that, I would. She's my wife, and as I told I still love her, but I was afraid staying with her would kill me."
"Why would you want to take that chance now?"
"She's having my baby! I just can't every well leave her now can I? And mother knows, she wouldn't be very happy with me if I did something like that and I don't know if I could live with myself knowing I left my wife with a baby to rise."
"I still don't see how it can be yours but if you want to play that game, fine. But that doesn't mean that I have too."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I think that you can figure that out for yourself." With that Rosemary stormed out of the room. 'I don't care what he says, I'm going to get ride of Scarlett and then Rhett can marry someone like Ann. She'd make him very happy, very happy indeed.'
For those of you who can't tell, I hate Rosemary! I really, really do, so if you don't like that way that I'm kind of making her out to be a bitch tell me. She's going to get worse.
