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

This story was suggested by Klenk Eniko. It took me a while to get my muse to even explore the idea. There was one scene that I knew was going to be in the story, so I wrote that scene. Afterwards the ideas finally started coming to me pretty quickly.

I wrote this on the premise that Rhett's body would be filled with testosterone and pregnant Scarlett's body would be filled with estrogen. Thus, effecting their feelings and emotions. Therefore, their actions.

Chapter One

It was Friday, October thirty-first of sixty-eight. Rhett and Scarlett were in the parlor. He had just made another mocking comment. She was so tired. She was almost six months pregnant and about to enter her confinement in one week.

Scarlett said, "I wish instead of you sitting in judgement of me you could try to understand how hard my life is."

Rhett replied, "How hard can your life be? Anything you want you can just go out and buy it. I am the one that has to constantly be making more money to keep up with your greedy desires. Furthermore, you have no idea how hard life can be. At least, you have had friends to help you every step of the way. When I was thrown out on the street it was like Ishmael. You will never understand how hard my life was and is.

"Friends! What friends?! I built those sawmills up on my own without any help from anyone."

"Yet you had Frank to pay all the household bills and you had Miss PittyPat to run your household and you had Miss Melly to raise your son. I will admit that you had that albatross Wilkes around your neck but then again you are the one that strapped him around your neck."

Scarlett didn't know what Rhett meant by Ashley being an albatross, so she ignored his statement. She said instead, "You have had your friend Belle to help you."

With a nasty smile, Rhett said, "Yes, I have."

Scarlett's eyes got wide, and she got mad. Just thinking about Scarlett's devotion to Wilkes had made Rhett mad.

At the same time with a lot of passion, they said, "I wish you could walk a mile in my shoes.'

There was a loud roar almost like thunder but even louder. There was a lot of noise and colored lights flashing in the room. Then suddenly it was deathly quiet. Scarlett stared at Rhett, but it wasn't Rhett she was seeing but herself. She had an astonished look on her face.

Scarlett said, "Rhett?"

But it wasn't her voice that said it but Rhett's voice.

In Scarlett's voice he said, "Scarlett?"

As their eyes met, they both knew. They were in each other's bodies. They refused to accept it.

Scarlett said, "No! No! No!"

Rhett was saying, "This can't be. This just can't be."

Scarlett said, "Rhett how did this happen."

"Damn if I know!"

"Rhett, don't cuss."

"If there was ever a time to cuss it is now. Suddenly I am in my wife's body, and she is in mine. This just can't be true."

"It looks pretty true to me."

"I know I am sober. This is not an alcoholic hallucination."

Scarlett pinched herself and said, "Ouch. Definitely not a dream."

Rhett walked over and poured himself a whiskey. Scarlett said, "Pour me a brandy."

"Not in your condition."

"I'm not the one whose body contains the baby. You are. So, no more alcohol for you," As Rhett lit a cigar, Scarlett added, "You should limit the number of cigars you smoke."

"I will have to until I am back in my body. The only place I will be able to smoke is in our bedroom. A woman would never smoke cigars"

The couple sat there for the rest of the night in a state of disbelief with Rhett looking with longing at the whiskey decanter.

Scarlett said, "It is Halloween were the veil between this world and the next is lowered. Maybe some magic escaped and has transformed us."

"Are you serious? That is just Irish hogwash."

"You better hope that it is true because if it is because of the veil everything will go back to normal tomorrow."

"That is encouraging news."

After about thirty minutes, Rhett put his hand on his abdomen and said, "What is that? Is that the baby?"

"Does it feel like someone is kicking you from the inside?"

"Yes."

"Yes, that is the baby. Another one of the joys of carrying a child."

Rhett stared at Scarlett. He was thinking, 'How can she be annoyed this is happening? It is amazing."

A few minutes later, Rhett said, "I have to go to the water closet."

"Be sure and remember to sit down."

Rhett looked at Scarlett with a disgusted look which made her laugh. Rhett did remember to sit down but he couldn't believe after he had sat down that all that came out was a drop or two. He went back to the parlor. He said to Scarlett, "When you urinate don't you get a steady stream of liquid?"

"Not when I am with child. The child is sitting on top of my bladder, and it makes me think that I have to urinate a lot more than I really do."

"Oh."

"Another of the joys of carrying a child."

"That is annoying."

Rhett statement made Scarlett burst out laughing. Finally, she replied, "Yes, it is."

"Let's promise to try not to disrupt the other person's life any more than we have to."

"I agree. Although there won't be that much you can do. You will be in your confinement for the next three months."

"What are you saying?"

"Starting next week, you will not be able to leave the house."

"I have to leave the house. I have to conduct business."

"Until we are back in our own bodies, I will have to conduct your business."

"That will never do. You will bungle the deals."

With a mischievous smile, Scarlett said, "I guess I could take you with me."

"I conduct my business in saloons and brothels."

"I guess that idea is out then. I'm sure you will think of something."

"I'm going to the water closet. I will meet you in our bedroom."

"Shake it twice."

"What?"

"You will understand when you get there."

When Scarlett got to the water closet, she smiled as she thought, 'How do I get it out of his pants? I guess I just reach in there and pull it out.'

It was going to be the first time Scarlett had ever seen a penis. She hadn't seen any of her husbands' penises. She had not even seen Wade's penis, for Mammy had done all the diaper changing. In fact, she had never changed a diaper in her life.

When Scarlett pulled the member out of Rhett's pants, she thought, 'It looks kind of small. I guess it gets a lot bigger when he is excited.'

After she had finished urinating, she understood what Rhett had meant by shake it twice. She needed to shake it to get the last drops off the penis.

That night before they went to bed, they had begun to accept that somehow, someway they were in each other's bodies.

For Scarlett seeing and touching Rhett's penis had made their situation a reality to her. For Rhett seeing Scarlett's naked body and not feeling immediately aroused had made their situation a reality to him.

As Scarlett watched Rhett walk around the room in a sheer negligee, she began to feel strange feelings. She wondered what they were. Every time she looked at her body, she felt them stronger. She also felt something happening in Rhett's body's nether regions. She stopped looking at herself and quickly got into the bed. She forced herself to only think about their situation, but she kept wanting to have naughty thoughts.

As they were lying in the bed, with Rhett smoking a cigar wrapped up in Scarlett's arms he said, "This just can't be true."

"It's true."

"I will get us back into our own bodies."

"Alright."

Scarlett had already figured out how to use this event to her advantage. She wouldn't have to be confined, Rhett would. She wouldn't have to suffer the pains of being with child especially the having to go to the water closet all the time, Rhett would. She wouldn't have to go through labor, Rhett would. And best of all she would be able to go to The Painted Lady and find out what the great attraction was.

When Rhett woke up the next morning, he looked at his hands. They were Scarlett's hands. He would never tell Scarlett how much he had hoped everything would be back to normal this morning. But it wasn't.

Rhett decided to do something he should have made Scarlett do a long time ago. He was going to sell her mills. He knew that he was reneging on their agreement before it was even twenty-four hours old but there wouldn't be anything she could do about it once it was done. Besides, he didn't know how she would find out unless he told her because he as Rhett did not interact with the gentry and especially not Ashley Wilkes. Scarlett would be mad when she eventually found out. Hopefully when she found out they would be back in their original bodies.

This was his opportunity to separate Scarlett and Mr. Wilkes. It, of course, would not be permanent. They would still see each other at social events but they would never have a legitimate excuse to be alone together. He would have to wait until Scarlett woke up before he called Prissy up here to help him dress.

He thought, 'I don't have to wait. Scarlett can get me dressed.'

Rhett woke Scarlett up and said, "Help me get dressed so I can go downstairs."

Reluctantly, Scarlett got out of the bed. She might as well. Rhett would just keep bugging her until she got up and helped him. She said, "You can actually get yourself dressed in the future. Since the dresses are so loose you won't need any help. Put your shimmy and your pantalettes on first."

Rhett did. Scarlett then said, "Put on your first petticoat."

"First?"

"You will be wearing three by the time we are finished."

Rhett did. Scarlett then said, "We will now put your corset on. You are lucky. It is a maternity corset, so it won't be very tight."

Rhett did. Scarlett said, "Hold it in place while I tighten it up."

Rhett did and Scarlett did. She said, "Now put your corset cover on."

"Which one is the corset cover?"

"This one," After Rhett had finished buttoning the cover up, Scarlett said, "Now put on two petticoats."

"Two?"

"You wouldn't want anyone to be able to discern the shape of your behind."

"All of these layers of clothing are going to be hot."

"Yes, be glad it is winter beside when you are with child one is always hot. Now what color do you want to wear. All the dresses are the same just modified tents."

"Green. That is your best color."

After Rhett had slipped the dress on, Scarlett buttoned it up. She said, "Now brush your hair. You will never manage a chignon so just let me braid it."

Scarlett braided the hair. When she was finished, she said, "All you need now is a bonnet."

With that Scarlett got back in the bed. She knew she wasn't going back to sleep, but she also didn't want to look at Rhett in her body.

Rhett went downstairs and joined Wade in the dining room. At first, Rhett was startled by the frightened look on Wade's face. He smiled and said, "Uncle Rhett has chosen to sleep in. So, I decided to have breakfast with you."

Wade was still a little bit shy and hesitant, but they ended up having a pleasant conversation. Rhett decided that he was going to make Scarlett spend more time with her children. After breakfast was finished Rhett walked to the foyer where he found Pork. He said, "Will you have my horse saddled?"

"You don't have a horse."

"Silly me, I meant my buggy."

"Yes, Miss Scarlett."

Rhett decided to go to the water closet. He had to urinate again. This was already getting frustrating because when he got there, he would just go tink, tink, tink. Not enough to bother with except it felt like he had to urinate a bucket full.
