Scarlett woke up sometime during the night, she saw that Rhett was asleep and got up as quietly as she could. 'I need to know if he really cares for me. How can I find out I wonder?' She walked into the hall and went down stairs and sat in a chair out on the porch where she soon fell back asleep.

Rhett woke up just the sun started to rise, he still had his eyes closed as he reached out to look for Scarlett when he found her side of the bed empty he sat up, fear filled him. 'Where is she?' He got out of bed and ran down stairs to look for her. No one else seemed to be awake yet. As Rhett searched the house he began to grow worried, he couldn't find Scarlett anywhere. It wasn't until he ran into the front door that realized that it was open. He cursed loudly and rubbed his face and leg. He walked out onto the porch and found Scarlett asleep in a chair. "Oh thank God."

Rhett slide into a chair next to Scarlett, 'she scared the shit out of me. Why did she come out here in the first place?' He looked at her and saw that she was shivering; he got up and went over to her. "You are more trouble then you're worth Katie Scarlett Butler." He picked her up and brought her back up to their bedroom.

After he made sure that she was comfortable he got dressed and went to find the doctor. After he told the doctor about the miscarriage the doctor said that he wanted to see Scarlett as soon as she woke up. This caused Rhett more worry.

When Rhett got home, he found his mother pacing in the doorway. "Mother, is anything wrong? Scarlett? She's no... She's all right, right?"

"No, Scarlett's fine, she's taking a bath. I was worried about you; you didn't leave a note saying where you had gone."

"I'm sorry, I went to go talk to the doctor about Scarlett, he's coming to call and check on her around noon today" Rhett looked at his mother; he didn't mean to scare his mother.

"Rhett, what happened to your face?" Rosemary asked as she entered the room.

"Oh, I ran into the door looking for Scarlett this morning, it seemed that she was awake at some point in the night and she wonder onto the front porch. I woke up to find her gone and she scared me half to death. I ran around the house like an idiot looking for her."

:"Why would she go on the porch?"

"I don't know. Listen; forget about anything that I told you earlier about Scarlett and me. Don't say anything to her. But most of all don't try to upset her. She doesn't need that right now, I don't want her sicker then she already is." Rhett gave his sister a hard look. "Do you understand me?"

"No." With that she left the room.

Rhett watched her go wondering if he should say something to Scarlett, but he wasn't sure if she would like to know that his sister knows about the troubles between them. He was starting to see the ereo in telling his sister about it in the first place. But he hadn't seen any harm when he did it, mainly because he didn't think that Scarlett would get pregnant again. He shook his head and started up the stairs. When he reached the top of the stairs he saw her standing in her bathrobe, he smiled at her. "Hello Mrs. Butler."

She jumped when she heard his voice. She turned to look at him; Scarlett saw his smile and her heart melted. Oh how she loved him, she was happy to see that he was in a good mood.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you darling. Feeling any better?" He noticed that she was still pale but she seemed to be in better sprits.

"I guess so." She looked at him wondering what she should say. She wasn't sure if he was happy about the baby. Then she just asked the point blank question. "Rhett, you are happy about the baby aren't you?" She watched as his smile grew, his eyes danced.

"Scarlett, I am happy about the baby. Regardless of what anyone might say to you, I'm glad that there came a reason to push me back to you. I don't think that I could live without you." I don't know if I could live with you either, maybe my mother can get her to grow some or at least make her play the part.

She smiled at his answer; Rhett saw this and knew that he had said the right thing. He walked up to her and pulled her into his arms. They stood there until Scarlett felt someone watching them. She looked and saw Rosemary staring at her with evil hateful eyes. She swelled hard, and looked up at Rhett.

"Why does Rosemary hate me so?"

Rhett looked at her then turned to see his sister staring at them,he turned back to his wife. "Rosemary, get up here. We need to talk."

Rosemary walked up the stairs, "Into the bedroom both of you." Rhett didn't know if this was a good idea but he didn't want anything bothering Scarlett. He also didn't think that they could live like this. Rosemary acting cold hearted towards Scarlett. He knew that his mother was going to notice and he didn't want her to ask questions, he didn't want to answer them either. He hoped with all his heart that this would fix the problems that he created between his wife and sister. If not, he didn't know what he would do. He didn't want to leave but if it came to keeping Scarlett calm he would do so, but only if he had to.
