Chapter 8

So sorry I haven't updated. Haven't been in that mood really but I promise that I will be better at keeping up with all my stories from now on. So I should have time to write some more next week. I hope you all liked this chapter. Review please I'd like to know how I'm doing. If any of you think that Rosemary should be killed by a horse on some strange night let me know. That was my thought anyway.

Rhett sat in the parol reading the newspaper, something that you didn't normally find him doing. He wasn't really reading it, he was thinking and he didn't want anyone to bother him. It had been two weeks and Rosemary hadn't said anything to him. He knew that he had up set her but he really didn't care, she was still doing it; trying to get on Sraclett's nerves. She didn't believe that he'd leave. Scarlett wasn't doing that much better. Her cold was gone, but she was still very weak, she spelt most of the time. Rhett was worried, he knew that it would be a good idea to take Scarlett and get away from his sister but he couldn't rick it either. It wasn't safe for her to travel.

"Rhett?" His mother called to him. "I need to speak with you about something." She appeared in the doorway.

Rhett put the paper down knowing what she wanted to say, he was going to let her have her say, "What about, Mama?" He gave her a smile.

"Why are you and Rosemary fighting? I had thought that she would help take care of Scarlett but it seems that either she stays away from her or tries to test her. I don't understand what's going on."

"I told Rosemary something about mine and Scarlett's relationship that I shouldn't have. She didn't approve and now she's doing what she thinks should be done about it. I have told her to stop but she hasn't. I even told het that if she keeps it up, that I'll leave." Rhett looked at his mother hoping that she'd understand but what he saw was disapproval.

"You'd take the change of losing Scarlett and the baby because of Rosemary?"

"Mama, I know we can't go now. And I don't know if I would leave. I was hoping that she would stop if I told her that. But I don't think it worked." He looked off into space not really knowing what she would say.

"I'll talk to Rosemary, but Rhett what did you tell her that would make her act the way she dose to Scarlett."

Rhett looked at his mother not really knowing what to say to her. "Mother, Scarlett and I had many problems during our marriage. Problems which led me to believe that I couldn't stay with her. I was still angry with Scarlett then and I had no enaction on going back to her because I had left her before she came here to try and win my heart back. When she almost died after we went out sailing I began to rethink things. When I found out about the baby I realized that I still loved her and that I needed to work things out with her not just because of the baby but for myself. I told Rosemary things that I shouldn't have and I don't think I should give you all the details. Just know that what happened in the past is behind us and they don't matter anymore." He hoped that would be enough for his mother. He wasn't sure what else he could say to his mother. He didn't want to say anything that would make his mother detest Scarlett like his sister did.

"Son, I understand. Why don't you go up and see how Scarlett is doing? It would be best if she wasn't alone for to long."

Rhett looked at his mother and nodded his head he had to agree with her. He got up to leave for his room when Rosemary appeared in the door way.

"That's why I'm trying to push her away from you. Because of what she did to you, why would you want to be with someone who hurt that way? I don't understand, you told me you didn't love her anymore. I really don't understand how you could have said something like that if you didn't mean it."

"Rosemary! I can't believe that you would say something like that to your brother. Regardless of what you think he is staying with Scarlett, she is having his child would you want him to leave her when she is with child?"

"If it would mean that he would be happy, then yes. Mama, he just came back into our lives. Do you want him to be pushed away from us again?"

"The only reason that I would leave the two of you is for Scarlett's health. Don't you understand that? It has nothing to do with Scarlett, it has to do with you and only you. I've been talking to Scarlett about buying a house here. So that we could still be close to you and Mama."

Rosemary looked at the ground and back up at Rhett, she shot a glare at her mother and left the room.
