Chapter 6 : Scarlett has an Awakening Moment

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters and do not intend on making any money off this story.

Story Line: Takes place after Scarlett falls down the stairs.

Scarlett tossed fretfully, In her dream she was standing on the landing, Bonnie and Rhett had just come home. She was so excited, so happy. And then she saw his face, blank emotionless. "He doesn't love me?" he mind whirled. And then suddenly she was at the bottom of the stairs in pain, and Rhett was standing above her his jeering laughter ringing in her ears, " Maybe you'll have an accident, Maybe you'll have an accident, Maybe you'll have an accident. "

"Stop it! Stop it! " she cried fitfully in her sleep.

"Scarlett, its alright you were just having a nightmare." Rhett smoothed her brow.

As Scarlett opened her eyes she suddenly shrank back in horror, that turned to anger. "How could you say that to me Rhett?"

"Say what to you my pet?" Rhett asked in defense.

"You know fully well what I mean." She told him flatly. "What you said to me that day, 'Maybe you'll have an accident' you said that before I fell."

Rhett winced at her words, yes he had spoken them. They haunted him every hour of the day and even into his dreams. 'So she remembers that now.' he thought to himself. Shame overtaking his face. Well he knew all the past few weeks had been only temporary. Now things would return to the way they were, his heart sank at this thought. " Yes, I said that in a moment of anger. I am sorry, I didn't mean it."

"Didn't meant it? Your sorry?" she repeated parrot like. Suddenly she wanted nothing more than to remove herself from this room from his presence, she wanted Melly, she must go find her. And so Scarlett got out of bed and bolted for the door, Rhett not taking notice for his back was to her, he was gazing out the window, searching for the right words to say.

" Scarlett, these last few weeks, I have come to ..." he started. "Well I have come to love you more than I thought possible. I would like for us to start things anew." When a few moments had passed with no response he took it that she did not feel the same, and his heart sank. "Well maybe it was over after all." he sighed. Then he turned around and noticed she was gone. "Scarlett?"

Scarlett went down the servant stairs and out into the alley, she needed to see Melly. She remembered everything. All there biting words, not just Rhett's to her but her rebuttals now stood before her too. They had said so many hurtful things to one another. "Oh how could we hurt each other so?"

Scarlett was so lost in all the hurtful memories of all past wrongs between Rhett and herself she did not realize she had left her home in only nightgown, no wrap, no shoes. And the day was thick with fog, the mist in the grass made her nightgown drenched and it clung about her legs. Scarlett's heart began to race as she realized she was lost in the fog. She did not know where she was, and panic gripped her heart. She began to run, which was hindered by her wet skirts clinging to her legs. The next thing she knew she stubbed her bare foot on a rock, and went tumbling down a hill.

Rhett ran into the hall, "Scarlett, Scarlett" he called his face puckered with fear.

"Mista' Rhett, wha ya lookin' fa Miz Scarlett fa?" Mammy came waddling up to him.

" Mammy she is not in her room. Have you seen her?"

" No, Sir. I hasn't." Mammy's face suddenly looked ill. "Yo doan reckon Miz Scarlett would leab da houze do ya?"

"I don't know Mammy, I don't know." Rhett said fear plain on his face.

Rhett had summoned the entire house hold to look for Scarlett and she was no where inside. So next they needed to search the grounds for her, which the fog made difficult. It was some four hours later that Pork came back to the house carrying a limp Scarlett in his arms.

All faces suddenly turned white, as all observed that the front of Scarlett's nightgown was drenched in blood. Thank god Doctor Meade was among those searching for Scarlett that afternoon. " We need to get her upstairs fast, so I can examine her."

Eleanor Butler looked at her two closes friends there worried faces all read the same fear. Eleanor herself though wondered what had transpired that caused Scarlett to venture out on her own this morning. She knew there was something wrong in her sons marriage, though she knew not what. She just hoped that it could be worked out.

Melanie looked at Doctor Meade and there eyes made a connection. The baby Scarlett gave birth to was very tiny being a month early. And though he was well developed he had not turned yet, so he came out breach. The baby was blue when he was born, there was nothing they could do for the baby. So Melanie washed him and swaddled him in a white blanket she had crocheted for him.

Scarlett's eyes fluttered open, "My baby?"

"He did not make it my darling." Melanie soothed.

"He?" Scarlett smiled. "The baby was a boy?" suddenly her face contorted as if in pain.

" Yes, Scarlett. Everything was fine, but he was born breach." Melanie explained.

"I want to see him." Scarlett told Melanie.

Melanie handed the swaddled infant to Scarlett. "He is so beautiful, he looks like Rhett."

"Melanie, would you ask Rhett, to come in please." Scarlett smiled weakly.

"Captain Butler, Scarlett would like to see you." Melanie said softly.

"Scarlett!" Rhett smiled seeing her holding the baby. Then suddenly his smile faded, something in her eyes was telling him that this moment was one of bitter happiness. "What is .."

"It's a boy Rhett." she smiled through tears. "He didn't make it though."

"A boy!" Rhett spoke with a sudden outburst of tears. Coming and sitting next to Scarlett on the bed he gazed down on the face of his son. He came to late and left to early.

"What should we name him Rhett?" she asked weakly. " I was thinking Robert Lee Butler."

"That sounds good." he smiled at her. And they both embraced the infant they both loved and wanted. But had to let go to soon.

"Oh, my no!" Eleanor Butler cried. "Oh, son, I am so sorry. There is nothing more painful than losing a child."

"We will be having a small burial at the cemetery this evening." Rhett said his face blank.

The small burial held for Robert Lee Butler was sad. Melanie and Ashley, Carreen and Pitty, Rhett and his mother and Scarlett's aunts along with the Meades were all that attended. Scarlett was too sick and Mammy stayed to care for her.

Well i hope you all don't want to linch me now! ;) Stay tuned.
