Author's Notes: Thank you for all the reviews and feedback.

I like this Gerald O'Hara also. I think this is the father Scarlett deserved to have during their fight to survive.

I have always wanted to write a scene where Rhett and Scarlett run to meet each other. I finally did.

A little bit of M rated in the middle.

Chapter Fourteen

After a few minutes, Gerald and another man entered the kitchen. Gerald scowled and said, "I see you survived the war."

"Yes, I did. Scarlett and I are going to get married tomorrow."

"Do I get any say in this?"

"Actually no, Sir."

"What part of Ireland did your family come from?"

"My grandfather Butler came from Ballycastle."

"In Northern Ireland."

"Yes sir."

"So, your family is from the other side?"

"Yes, Sir. We were orange men. How did you know I had Irish blood?"

"First off Butler is a common last name in Ireland. Second by your boldness and your cleverness, Boyo. Does Scarlett know?"

Scarlett walked into the room with a brown bottle in her hand and said, "Does Scarlett know what?"

"That your soon to be husband is one fourth Irish."

A big smile spread across Scarlett's face, and she said, "That is the best thing I have heard in a very long time," Neither Rhett nor Gerald knew why that had made her so incredibly happy, but it was plain to see it had. She poured some of the liquid into a spoon and said, "Open up."

Rhett did as he was told and swallowed the foul brew down. He had to fight to keep it and his soup down. He took a big swallow from his water glass. He managed to keep everything down but just barely. That was only because he didn't want Scarlett to see him throwing up like a dog.

Scarlett said, "Pork, would you hook the horse up to the wagon. I want to show Rhett the plantation."

"Yes, Miss Scarlett."

"Pork, wait a minute. Let me introduce you to my soon to be son-in-law. Pork, this is Rhett Butler. Rhett, this is my trusted man servant, Pork. Have you chosen a last name?"

"O'Hara."

"That makes me happy. Pork O'Hara."

"Pa, did Rhett tell you of our plans?"

"I was in the middle of it when your father asked me what part of Ireland my family came from."

"Pa, how did you know?"

"By his boldness and his cleverness both strong Irish traits."

Neither person argued with the older man for they agreed with him.

As Pork left the kitchen, Scarlett said, "Rhett and I are going to be married in Jonesboro tomorrow. We will then go into Atlanta on the train. We will spend the night in Atlanta at the National Hotel. We will get a bath and a couple of decent meals. The next day we will buy the supplies."

"Alright. I will drive you into Jonesboro in the wagon."

"Thanks, Pa."

Pork walked into the room and said, "The wagon is ready, Miss Scarlett."

"Thank you. I will meet you at the wagon. I need to grab a couple of things."

When Scarlett met Rhett at the wagon, he smiled when he saw the things in her hands. They were a bar of soap and a couple of towels. He said, "Guess you figured out some place we can take a bath," He paused for a couple of heart beats then added, "together."

"Sssh. I don't want anyone to hear us. Let's go."

Scarlett did have Rhett drive them all over the plantation. She pointed out special features. They finally came to a small lake. Rhett looked down at her and said, "It is perfect."

"Yes, it is. It has a rocky bottom, so we won't get mud on our feet.

As Rhett and Scarlett looked at the small lake, she said, "It's not very deep which means the water will be warm."

Rhett fixed the reins then got down from the buckboard. He said, "All the times I have imagined making love to you, I always imagined it in a comfy bed. Not the hard ground."

With a mischievous smile Scarlett said, "We don't have to be intimate if you don't want to be. We can just take a bath together."

"We are going to be intimate. Maybe several times. Come on down. Let me help you get undressed."

"Alright but let's get cleaned up first. I know I stink and so do you."

"Yes, we do."

Rhett helped Scarlett get undressed in between kisses. When she was naked, he stepped back, and she put her arms over her breast. Rhett didn't say anything. He had known she would be a little shy. He was simply happy she had taken all her clothes off. He quickly undressed. He said, "Come on let's get unstinky."

Scarlett grabbed the soap and tried not to stare at Rhett's member. It was not the first time she had seen a penis, but it was the first time she had seen an erect penis. She blurted out, "You are too big."

"No, I'm not. In truth most men's member is the same size. I will get you very aroused before I enter you. You will enjoy it very much."

"It wasn't bad with Charlie, but I don't think I will enjoy it very much."

"That young boy didn't know what he was doing. I do. Scarlett, did he do anything more than kiss you to get you ready?"

With a beet red face, Scarlett said, "He kissed me and caressed my arms but nothing more."

"Did you just lay there?"

"That is what a lady is supposed to do."

"We are not going to be proper people in our bedroom. We are going to have fun together and play a lot. I will behave as a proper gentleman to the outside world, but we will leave our respectable behavior outside our bedroom door. Nobody will ever know what we do behind closed doors. Do you understand?"

Scarlett nodded and said, "I think so."

"Now, no more thinking about anyone but me.

Rhett and Scarlett walked to the water. She had been right. The lake wasn't very deep, and the water was warm. The water only came up to her waist and his hips, but it was enough. They helped each other get clean although there was a lot of caressing in between. Finally, Rhett said, "Come let's lay down on the towels."

"Yes."

Everywhere Rhett touched Scarlett felt wonderful. He suckled on her breasts and caressed her womanhood until she was squirming and calling his name. She felt like there was something she needed but she didn't know what it was. Suddenly she felt the most amazing feeling in the world.

After Rhett knew Scarlett had gotten her satisfaction, he said, "Next time will be much better for you but I can't wait any longer and I won't last very long. It has been an exceptionally long time since I have been with a woman."

Although Scarlett had no idea what Rhett was talking about, she said, "Alright. I understand."

After Rhett entered Scarlett, she gave a sigh of relief. She had found what she had needed. As he started moving in her she felt that feeling again. She then felt him tense up and call her name.

Although Rhett had achieved an orgasm his member did not become soft so great was his arousal. He whispered, "Enjoy yourself again."

As if on cue, Scarlett did enjoy herself a couple of more times. Finally, Rhett ejaculated again. For a moment, he laid on Scarlett then he held himself up on his arms. In between kisses he said, "I think I am going to enjoy being married to you very muchly."

"I know I am. That was absolutely amazing. When can we do it again?"

Rhett laughed and said, "Probably not until tonight when we retire for the night."

Rhett and Scarlett laid there and talked about the last year, and they talked about their future. Finally, he said, "Let's get dressed. I don't want my behind to get sunburned or any part of your delicate skin."

The couple did get up and get dressed. Rhett said, "Where is your ring?"

"In my jewelry box. I have lost at least ten pounds and it kept slipping off my finger so I put it up so I wouldn't lose it. When I start eating full meals, I will gain the weight back."

"Me too. I guess we should wait until we have both gained our weight back to buy our wedding rings."

"Alright." That pleased Scarlett very much that Rhett was willing to wear a wedding ring."

Rhett said, "Was there anything else you wanted to show me on the plantation?"

"Not today."

"Let's go back to the main house."

"Alright."

When Rhett and Scarlett got back to the main house Rhett said, "Where is my trunk? I have got to change clothes. I probably have been wearing these for the last month."

"It is in my room. Let me show you the way."

After Scarlett showed Rhett to her room she turned to leave. He said, "You aren't going to help me change clothes."

Scarlett giggled and said, "No. It will be enough for Pa's heart for you to be sleeping in my room tonight."

"Will he try to stop me?"

"Not you. He likes you."

"How can you tell?"

"You are still breathing."

With that Scarlett left Rhett to change his clothes. Rhett decided that Scarlett was right. If Mr. O'Hara hadn't approved of his marrying Scarlett, he would have shot Rhett the night Rhett had made his threat. The truth was no one would have known the old man had killed the obnoxious man from Charleston.

Rhett pondered what he was going to call his father-in-law. He knew he wouldn't call him Pa, and Mr. O'Hara seemed too formal. Maybe he would call him Mr. Gerald.

Over supper which was sparse Scarlett introduced Rhett to her sisters. After the introductions were done, she said, "Rhett and I are going into Jonesboro tomorrow to get married if anyone wants to come along. Pa is going to drive us to the courthouse."

To Scarlett's surprise, both of her sisters agreed to go with them into Jonesboro. A few minutes later Scarlett realized that it was an excuse to get off the plantation. It was an outing. It didn't surprise her that Melly wanted to attend Scarlett's wedding.

That night after the couple had retired, they were intimate again. It was wonderful again, but it was much better in a soft bed than on the hard ground.

The next morning Rhett woke Scarlett up with kisses and they were intimate once again.

Afterwards, Rhett said, "You are a wonderful sight to wake up to."

"As are you."

"Yes, I am definitely going to enjoy being married."

"Me too."

When Scarlett got dressed, she put on the dress that she had made from the material Rhett had given her. It certainly didn't look as good as it had the night Rhett had taken her out for her birthday but nonetheless it was her best dress.

Rhett said, "It pleases me that you have taken such care with that dress."

"I tried not to wear it but when my missing you got so very bad wearing the dress made me feel better."

"I missed you an awful lot but now we don't have to be separated."

"Were you able to give your mother some money when you were in Charleston?"

"Yes, but we will have to go back in about a month to give her some more."

"Alright. You look very handsome."

"Thank you. You look lovely."

"Thank you. Let's go and make it official.

Melly, Suellen, and Careen rode in the back of the wagon while Rhett, Scarlett, and Gerald rode on the buckboard. The women had not been into Jonesboro since the war was over and they were a little bit uncomfortable when they saw the men in blue uniforms that were already in Jonesboro.

Scarlett turned to Rhett and said, "Rhett, where did all these Yankees come from so quickly?"

"Most of them were part of the conquering armies. The South is under martial law. We are a conquered people."

Gerald said, "I certainly do regret supporting secession from the union."

"Especially before Mr. Lincoln did anything to threaten our way of life."

"True."

"Rhett!"

Rhett turned and whispered in Scarlett's ear, "I will not speak that honestly when we are around anyone else. I didn't do everything that I have done, just to blow it now."

"Alright."

Rhett said to Gerald, "The North needs to repair the railroad tracks so they can get food and supplies into the South. That is good for us."

Gerald replied, "Yes, it is."
