This story is a what if Scarlett never left Charleston and Rhett eventually came back for some odd reason, I haven't decided on the reason yet, so bare with me. This is my first entry to fan fiction and I'm not sure if its going to be any good, but I hope that you all will let me know.

Oh, I also do not own any of the names of charters taken from Gone With The Wind or Scarlett created by Margaret Mitchell.

Chapter 1

Scarlett read the letter though twice before she understood that Rhett had once again left her after making-love to her. 'Oh, if you think that I'm just going to let you leave me again like last time, you've got another thing coming, Mr. Rhett Butler.' Scarlett thought of her oppontions, she could leave and make him come after her. Or she could stay and not leave when she was supposed to and after awhile he may come back. Scarlett really didn't know what she should do. 'Well, I'll stay for now and then see what I should do later. I wonder if he would come back if I stayed months after April 1st, when I said I'd leave him alone.' With these thoughts' Scarlett fell back asleep.

Rosemary had stayed home to be with Scarlett in case she needed anything, more because she was order too, then that she wanted too. Her brother had left earlier that morning even after both her and their mother protested that he stayed. He was sick after all, but he would not heed their request to stay and get well. Rosemary had a strange suspicion that Scarlett was pushing him away. 'How can I get rid of her so that Rhett will come back to us?' She wanted her eldest brother in her life because he seemed to fill a hole that could never be filled by anyone else. 'I'll just have to find a way to get her to leave and not come back.' How she'd do this Rosemary didn't know but she knew she'd have to do it without her mother's knowledge.

Scarlett came down to dinner to find that Rosemary and Mrs. Butler were already settled at the table. "Why hello Scarlett, I trust that you are feeling better after you slept all day? Did you find Rhett's flowers to your liking?" Mrs. Butler said with great relief in her voice, she had been worried about Scarlett, she had seemed well but Eleanor didn't really think that she was.

"Yes, they were beautiful Mrs. Butler and I'm feeling mush better." Scarlett said with one of her dimpled smiles. She was needed to know if Mrs. Butler knew where Rhett had run off too, little did she know that Mrs. Butler was wondering the same thing. "Mrs. Butler, would you by any chance know where Rhett went, I'm worried. Because he went through the same ordeal as I did, but he didn't stay long enough to get well.

"No, I was hoping that he would have told you in the letter that he left you. But don't worry dear, I'm sure that he'll be fine, and I know that he'll be back soon enough. So, don't go worrying your head off my dear, get well." Miss. Eleanor said with a sad smile, she was now worried that there was something going on between Rhett and his wife that she didn't know about. 'He seems to act every cold toward her when she came to see him, in a way it like he didn't want her here. It maybe because of Bonnie's death, a death of a child sometimes can destroy a marriage.' Eleanore hoped that that wasn't the case because if it were she may not get another grandchild. But Scarlett had told her when she first came to Charleston that she wanted another child. Maybe she wanted another child and Rhett did not. 'Oh, if that's the case what a fool my son is. He should want to make his wife happy and give her his child to rise.'
