[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult

From the time when Melanie's life was hanging by a thread because of her pregnancy, to the fact that she became healthier and her baby's condition became more and more stable, everyone who knew Melanie thought it was a miracle.

Only Bonnie knew that behind this miracle was her almost exhausted healing power.

And maybe Beau, though Bonnie didn't tell the boy what powers she had.

Since the girl woke up, the healing energy faded in her body little by little.

She was able to use it freely before, but now it is just a drop in the bucket. She doubts very much that this energy will completely disappear in the near future.In fact, her ability was developed in the last days of her previous life, and it is not the end of the world, and it is only right that God intends to take back her abilities.

Just to see what time it is.

Melanie has a thin body, even if she has improved her physique little by little every day since she came back, everyone thinks that she looks healthy, but her body is not as good as that of Stanley who had a miscarriage once. Carrie.

You must know that every childbirth is a huge adventure for a woman.

The greatness of mothers lies in the fact that they risk their lives to give birth to the next generation that can continue. The pain and suffering they have experienced are beyond the comprehension of others. It is often said that everyone's birthday is the day of the mother's death.

For Melanie, this is definitely another test of life and death.

Bonnie was really worried about what would happen to Melanie when she gave birth.

When Melanie started to move, she seized the opportunity to inject some healing energy into Melanie. At first, a group of children were able to hang around Melanie. It didn't take long for them to be killed by Scarlett. Li was kicked out.

"Hot water, scissors, and the midwife, why haven't you come?" Melanie's face was pale because of labor pains, and Scarlett was extremely anxious. Melanie's due date was approaching, and she and Rhett had made countless preparations, but When it really came to this moment, she still couldn't help feeling a little flustered in her heart.

Melanie, you have to hold on.

When Mammy brought the midwife over, she saw Scarlett walking around outside the door with her big belly.Seeing the midwife coming, Scarlett personally brought her in.

As a mother of three children, Scarlett is actually very experienced in childbirth and is not afraid of it.

When Melanie gave birth last time, because Atlanta was in a state of war, no midwives were willing to deliver Melanie. It was Scarlett who was under tremendous pressure to let Xiaobo be born safely. With the help of De, they escaped from Atlanta and brought Melanie and Xiaobo back to Tala.

But this time, with the most experienced midwife for Atlanta, Scarlett had nothing to help her.

At this moment, Melanie's labor pains have only just begun, and according to her experience of midwifery, she will continue to suffer from pain for a while.

At this time, you should save your energy, and wait until the baby can really be born, and then try your best to let the baby come out.

It is true, although it is almost time for production.

But after three hours of intermittent pain, Melanie still had no signs of giving birth.

Scarlett was also pregnant. At this time, she was too nervous to think about other things, but in her state, others would worry about her.

Mama Hei watched Scarlett grow up, so she was naturally different from other servants. She would definitely say: "Miss Scarlett, have you forgotten that you are also pregnant with a baby? Go quickly Rest, here we are watching."

"No," Scarlett said without thinking.

"I want to stay with Lanny, I promised her."

In fact, even if there was nothing she could do about it, she didn't worry about Melanie at all. "It's been three hours. Have you called Dr. Meade, just in case... no, no, no, just in case..."

Mama Hei is always calm. Although she also loves Miss Melanie, she seems to have never seen Scarlett so flustered: "Miss Scarlett, don't be so nervous, I have followed your previous instructions After everything has been done, Mr. Wilkes and Captain Butler have already returned. Dr. Meade, Polk went to ask for it half an hour ago. Everything is ready. Now, you can calm down Already?"

Scarlett looked at the black mother holding her arm, and after digesting the black maid's words, she suddenly felt like a deflated ball.

Scarlett fell limply in Mama Hei's arms, tears were rolling in her eyes, and after a while she was crying like rain in Mama Hei's wide and thick arms: "I'm afraid...I'm really afraid It's gone... I never knew that I was so afraid of losing her, she escaped death last time, this time, I'm worried..." Scarlett was already incoherent at this time.

Mama Hei patted Scarlett's back and said softly, "Don't worry, dear Miss Scarlett, everything will be fine. Miss Melanie will definitely give birth to a new life safely."

"Yes." Scarlett seemed to gain some confidence, she straightened up and said firmly.

Although Melanie is not in good health, fortunately, despite the long delivery time, she has always preserved her strength.

At the moment when Christmas came, Melanie gave birth to a healthy little princess accompanied by snowflakes dancing outside the window and faint Christmas music.

Although Christmas Eve fell through, Christmas came.

All are infected with the joy and blessings of a new life.

Because of exhaustion, Melanie passed out after glancing at the little princess,

Scarlett was physically exhausted, but her spirit was extremely excited.

At the moment when the little princess was born, she couldn't wait to trot to the living room outside the door to announce the good news to the men who were anxiously waiting.

Ashley's eyes were full of excitement, he rushed forward and gave Scarlett a big hug, and kept saying, "She's safe, it's great, she's alive, God bless, she Still by my side."

"Yes, she's fine, she's still alive." Scarlett couldn't feel any ripples in her heart when she received Ashley's hug.

In fact, I don't know when it started.

Melanie's status and weight in her mind had long surpassed Ashley's.

Looking at this pure hug, Rhett always felt that it was still a bit of an eyesore, but Melanie's mother and daughter were safe, and this was the most worthy of celebration.

He stepped forward and reminded without any trace: "Scarlett, can Ashley go in now to see Melanie and the newborn little princess?"

"Melanie is already asleep, oh my god, it's already past Christmas Eve," Scarlett looked at the gold-painted glass-covered metal clock not far away, only then did she realize that Christmas had already arrived.

"So," Rhett gently pulled Scarlett out of Ashley's embrace, and said very restrainedly, "You should go to rest now, even if you don't want to rest, you have to think about the baby in your stomach .”

the next morning.

The birth of a new life filled the entire Butler mansion with an atmosphere of joy.

After a night of rest, Melanie woke up feeling quite good.

"She was born on Christmas, let's call her Christine." Melanie said with a smile, looking at the little girl sleeping soundly in her arms. "All right, Ashley."

"Okay." Ashley readily agreed. Although he had thought of countless names before, this baby brought him and Melanie's greatest expectations and blessings. Now that he was born safely, he didn't sleep well all night. , I always feel like I'm still dreaming. "Just call her Christine."

Xiaobo and Bonnie came forward curiously and took a closer look at the newborn.

The girl's facial features are dignified and delicate, with the same elegance as Melanie's. When the eyelids are closed, the slits are very long, and it can be seen that her eyes are very big.But the girl has not opened her eyes yet, and no one knows what color her pupils are. Her upturned nose is a copy of Ashley, but her mouth is exactly the same as Melanie's.

It's just that she is too soft, Xiaobo dare not hug her, let alone Bonnie who is so small and has no strength.

It has been a long time since the end of the world that Bonnie has seen a newborn. This is the first newborn she has seen in such a long time. The feeling of excitement is amazing. The newborn is like a blessing from God. In general, it is the best gift in this peaceful world.

Thinking that there is still a baby in Scarlett's stomach, who is still her biological brother, Bonnie feels that she can't wait.

☆

After Christmas, the new year also comes.

Melanie was going to leave when she was recuperating in the Butler Mansion for a month after giving birth, but after Scarlett strongly persuaded her, Melanie stayed and lived for another month.

At this time, Scarlett was seven months pregnant, and her belly was not as big as Melanie's seven months, but she could eat, drink, and sleep, and she could eat more at each meal, but she was not fat When she woke up, at eight months, her chin was still pointed, and her facial features still looked beautiful.

Last year's winter was unseasonably cold, but this year's spring in Georgia has also been exceptional.

The spring sunshine thawed the frozen river, the water was gurgling, and the "thawed" fish were swimming happily in the river, and the forest and trees were full of vitality.

After a severe winter, the flowers bloomed in full bloom. The front yard of Butler's house was full of flowers, adding a sense of spring to Butler's mansion.

The weather began to warm up, and Bonnie thought of the small "swimming pool" at the other end of Peachtree Street that had been frozen all winter—although she also felt that it might be a foot bath for adults...

In order not to arouse Scarlett's disgust, Bonnie still tested her thoughts a little bit.

When the swimming pool was built, Scarlett also agreed.

After it was built, she went to see it herself, and after confirming that even Bonnie could stand up in the swimming pool and would not be submerged in the water, she approved Bonnie to learn to swim.

But when Bonnie brought it up, she didn't agree too readily.

After all, spring has just arrived, and the snow melted only a few days ago. The snow has not completely melted in many places, and it is still a bit cold. She is afraid that Bonnie will catch a cold.

"We can put some warm water," Bonnie felt relieved when she saw that Scarlett didn't resist the question about swimming too much, and she was calm, "This way it won't be cold."

Because of Bonnie's whimsy, Scarlett amused, "Like we soak in the bath?"

"That's right, it's just that the white bubbles are missing," Bonnie blinked, "After all, I'm going to learn how to swim."

"Let's talk about it when your father comes back," Scarlett agreed to Bonnie so easily. "Didn't your father say that he would teach you how to swim himself?"

Bonnie cheered, ran in front of Scarlett, hugged her and kissed her, "Mom, you are so kind, do you want to study together?"

Scarlett thought not to mention that she didn't like water, the height of the pool was only a little above her knees, "Mom has a baby, so I can't learn to swim."

In fact, swimming is also possible for pregnant women, which is good for both the mother and the baby, and increases the mother's cardiopulmonary function.

Just not too drastic.

In the past, when a colleague of Bonnie was pregnant, she specially signed up for swimming classes for pregnant women. Because pregnant women often have frequent cramps, there are not many swimming classes.

But these Bonnies dare not tell Scarlett that she was firmly opposed to learning to swim when she was not pregnant, let alone when she was pregnant.

When Rhett came back, Bonnie had already fallen asleep, and Scarlett told Rhett that he should not agree to let Bonnie learn to swim so quickly.

"She used to only grind me, but now she's come to you," Rhett said with some emotion.

Scarlett pushed Rhett, "You haven't promised me yet, promise me soon, it's still so cold outside, wait until the weather gets warmer."

"Okay, okay, I promise you," Rhett touched Scarlett's belly, the baby probably sensed his father's presence, and kicked him, the silly father smiled, "I agree with whatever you say."

In fact, after being pregnant, it was the happiest day for Scarlett in this life.

She didn't have to think about anything, someone had arranged for her, because she made a big mistake a few days ago, and Rhett was also obedient to her.

During the months of Scarlett's pregnancy, no matter how much Rhett worked, he would come back before dinner, and most of the time he would come back at noon to accompany Scarlett for lunch.

When Scarlett was in the late pregnancy, she was also suspicious and in a bad mood. She often lost her temper with Rhett and was very sentimental. Sometimes she cried aggrievedly in front of the child, but she remembered afterwards I also feel very ashamed, but I just can't control it. This situation makes Rhett very worried.

Later, it was Elsing and Mrs. Merriwether who gave Rhett an idea, saying that they had seen many pregnant women who would be cranky because of the lack of their husbands. They wanted their husbands to be by their side. The last time Scarlett was pregnant with Bonnie This time was not like this. After hearing this time, Rhett felt distressed and annoyed, and came back more diligently.Neither of them expected that the baby was so well-behaved six months ago, and then began to affect Scarlett's emotions in various ways.

At night, Scarlett's legs cramp and hurt from time to time, and Rhett sleeps worse than Scarlett.

Later, Rhett had been trained so that whenever Scarlett moved, he woke up with a start, and reflexively asked Scarlett what was wrong, did she want to eat late at night, or did she feel uncomfortable somewhere.

Fortunately, Bonnie said one day that she had grown up and could sleep by herself, so she was not hurt.

"So you're going to keep procrastinating?"

Scarlett beat Rhett coquettishly, "I didn't say not to let her learn, although I really don't know what is the use of learning this, but according to Bonnie's temperament, if I don't let her learn, she I will also learn secretly."

Reid said in surprise, "You know?"

"Your expression is too exaggerated." Scarlett said angrily, "Why can't I know that Bonnie is my daughter anyway."

Rhett begged for mercy, but he quickly remembered another thing: "Speaking of which, Bonnie is already five years old. I came back early yesterday, and I saw her sneak into Wade's study room, and Going to study with him in a decent way. I think it's time I got her a governess."

"This..." Scarlett yawned a little, "I have no objection, what do you want her to learn?"

"Whatever Wade and Xiaobo study, Bonnie can study. Ella can also come together, but I always feel that Ella should not be willing." Reid touched his chin.

"What?" Scarlett said in surprise, "I thought you would let her learn some lady's education."

"Dear Scarlett, have you forgotten that Bonnie wants to go into business, and those so-called lady education will help her develop her career in the future," Rhett paused, "With all due respect, it will have very little effect. She needs to read more books and have a broader vision. If she wants to take this path, she must learn more knowledge than any boy. She will be better than any boy. In the future, her The journey will be smoother."

Scarlett was a little bit overwhelmed, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, "I thought...I actually, well, Rhett, I thought you were just joking before, I didn't know you really planned to let Bonnie go business."

God, what an outrageous thing this is.

But speaking of it, which of the things she and Rhett did was not the so-called "deviant"?

"Why not? Since this is her wish, I will definitely support her with all my strength," Rhett kissed Scarlett's forehead, "We will be her strongest backing, you know, in such an environment , The way she wants to go is definitely not easy to walk. No matter whether you are a boy or a girl in your stomach, I will let Bonnie walk on the way she wants to go. "

"I..." Scarlett didn't know whether her emotions were moved, or her admiration for Rhett, just like that time when Rhett talked about her ambitions, she was also deeply attracted to him. "I'll support her too."

☆

Since Rhett said he wanted to find a tutor for Bonnie, he was looking for someone for Bonnie.

You must know that the path that his precious daughter will take in the future is definitely not the path of ordinary people, so this candidate cannot be sloppy, he cannot be so pedantic that girls cannot learn like boys, and he cannot look down on girls' education.

With these two conditions, Rhett directly excluded a large number of people who submitted their resumes.

There are other additional conditions, such as some kind of lady education, etc. Reid originally wanted to find female college students, but such women are really rare and pitiful. Most of the educated women are lady education, and more There is no reason for someone with a high degree of education to teach a little girl, which gave Rhett a headache.

Rhett is not a dictator. When he was choosing a tutor, he asked Bonnie what he thought.

Bonnie didn't expect Rhett to offer to find her a tutor, which made her aware of Rhett's thoughts.

Although she doesn't actually need to learn these basics, it's a pity that she can't just follow Red to learn how to deal with documents.

Think about it, she also had the leisure time before Rhett found a governess.

While Bonnie was excited, she also felt a little melancholy.

Naturally, she couldn't hide this little emotion from Xiao Bo.

The place where Xiaobo learns piano every day is in the Butler mansion.

There is an unused grand piano in the Butler mansion, which Scarlett bought arty at the time.

Scarlett does not allow Melanie to refuse her kindness, which has nothing to do with money or sympathy, because she also hopes that Xiao Bo can get the best education.

Every morning Xiao Bo came from home early in the morning, sometimes he came alone, sometimes Melanie brought him, and sometimes the latter brought their little princess Christine. Visit potbellied Scarlett.

Xiaobo's piano playing is getting better and better. In less than a year, he has been able to play long-span piano pieces.

Absolutely worthy of the admiration he received from the world's top musicians, as well as musical geniuses.

But the musical genius also has his own little weakness.

"What's the matter with you?" Xiao Bo swept a series of slide notes on the piano, and the notes like flowing water filled the whole room, and his fingertips danced on the black and white keyboard.

It is Bonnie's favorite "The Blue Danube Waltz".

"No." Bonnie said softly, "Even though I'm so happy, Dad finally agreed to let me study like my brother."

"You...too happy?" Is my feeling wrong?

"Little Bo, can you play "The Blue Danube" with your eyes closed?" Bonnie said irrelevantly, "Of course I'm happy. Make a lot of money." Bonnie stretched out her short, chubby hands and made a gesture of embracing the sky. "But Mama Hei always said that if I do this, I won't be able to get married. Xiao Bo, what do you mean you can't get married? Is it terrible?"

Xiao Bo: "..."

The wonderful music stopped abruptly, and then started again under the urging of Bonnie.

"A girl's marriage means getting married." I don't know if it was because the two talked about such a topic, but Bonnie always felt that Xiaobo's piano sound was shy and cautious, but very happy. "Also, don't listen to Mama Hei's words about what you have and what you don't have, you won't be unmarried."

Bonnie was amused, and deliberately asked, "Why?"

"Because, I will marry you." Xiao Bo said naturally.

Bonnie: "..." Boy, is it okay for you to swear your determination so early?But if it is Xiaobo, it seems to be very good.

Wait, with her small body, she is only five years old, so she doesn't have to think about it.

"Will you marry my mother?"

Wait, this script is wrong——

Is this a marriage proposal? How old are you?

The sound of the piano had completely stopped, and Xiao Bo turned to look at Bonnie. The girl was stunned, still looking ignorant.

Xiao Bo looked at the girl's three-headed body again, and pouted, "Don't think about others, you must marry me, little Bonnie."

Bonnie: "..."

Who said that boys are timid and cowardly, what does President Fan mean when he is so domineering on this kind of issue?

"I will definitely wait for you to grow up."

☆

Rhett finally found his favorite tutor, he followed Bonnie to listen to a few classes, and he felt pretty good.

And Bonnie also started her own study career.

To Rhett's surprise, Ella came to the class with Bonnie, despite her reluctance.

It seemed that Bonnie was the one who convinced her. Although Rhett was very curious, Bonnie seemed to have forgotten what she said.

But the result turned out to be pretty good.

Just as everyone is studying hard, the days go by day by day.

In the blink of an eye, it was Scarlett's labor period. The last time Scarlett accompanied Melanie, this time, Melanie brought Christine to accompany Scarlett.

Because Scarlett is about to give birth, everyone's study sessions have stopped for the past few days.

Red also moved the office back home.

The rare vacation puts Bonnie and the children in a good mood.

Although Wade is still holding the book, the location has also been transferred to the living room where everyone is.

Ella has developed a new hobby in recent days. She gestures at the clothes that Scarlett bought for little Christine, and she seems to want to style the baby too.

During this year, Ella has assumed the styles of Wade and Bonnie. Even Scarlett would ask her for her opinion when dressing up. If she said it didn't look good, Scarlett would never wear it that way.

Melanie was in the room, accompanying Scarlett who could no longer go downstairs, and Xiao Bo helped take Christine—of course Rhett sent a maid to assist her.

But Melanie is still very relieved about Xiaobo.

Xiao Bo always helps to take care of his younger sister at home, and now he is also very skilled in holding the girl. He is small, but very careful, which makes other adults feel ashamed.

Christine has learned to turn over. She is very lively, but she doesn't like to cry.

Although it was winter when she was born, her physique was much better than Xiaobo's. After a few months of being healthy, her little face became round.

The funniest thing is that every time Bonnie came over to tease her, she would giggle, and then whenever Bonnie came over, she would laugh automatically, and if Bonnie kissed her, she would stick out her little Claw Claw made a gesture of wanting to hug her, which made little Bonnie drool all over her face.

She is so young, she seems to have learned to recognize people.

"She seems to like you very much." Xiaobo said happily, "Look, she won't even smile when I hug her. As soon as you come, she wants you to hug her."

Bonnie didn't know why little Christine liked her so much, but it felt good to be liked.

Xiao Bo wanted Bonnie to hug her at first, but little Christine was soft. Bonnie was so small and weak, she didn't dare to take any risks.

It was when they were sitting on the sofa that Bonnie dared to hug little Christine, but it was still a special effort.

The baby's milk smells delicious, and Bonnie put one on little Christine's cheek, making the baby cling to her even more.

Just as they were playing with little Christine, the door of the master bedroom on the second floor was opened.

Melanie ran out in a hurry, stood behind the lacquered wood railing and said to the downstairs, "Call the midwife up, Scarlett seems to be about to give birth."

The hostess has been pregnant for ten months, and everyone knows that the baby may be born in these few days, and everyone has been ready early in the morning.

Compared to Scarlett's panic before, Melanie seemed much calmer.

Everyone is organized and well-trained.

Just when everyone thought that Scarlett's delivery should be smooth, she had a difficult delivery.

Scarlett has always been in good health, that is, the miscarriage when she fell down the stairs, and the seasickness on the boat later made her die. Everyone thinks that Melanie can give birth to Christine smoothly. Li is even less of a problem.

In addition, the previous few times Scarlett's delivery was relatively smooth, no one thought that Scarlett would have a difficult delivery.

However, one day and one night after the labor pains began, the baby was not born.

The atmosphere in Butler's mansion changed from relaxed to dignified, because the longer the time dragged on, the more dangerous Scarlett's life would be.

If Scarlett had no strength in the end, and the child could not be born and suffocated in her stomach, two dead bodies might be killed at any time, and even the adults would not be able to save them.

Rhett's usual composure had long since disappeared, and he walked up and down the stairs irritably—because he was worried that Scarlett would hear him pacing at the door and affect her mood.

Not to mention Rhett, Bonnie couldn't sit still.

She glanced at Xiaobo, who followed behind her knowingly, and no one noticed the two little ones leaving.

"Do you want to go in and see your mother?"

Bonnie made a tight face: "Can you help me?"

Xiao Bo is naturally obliged.

After more than a year of "struggle" with the adults, the two have cooperated quite tacitly in this regard. Xiao Bo scouted the way ahead to attract the attention of other adults, and Bonnie took the opportunity to sneak in.

When Bonnie went in, no one could notice her.

Everyone is nervous.

Melanie's face was extremely pale, her eyes were wide open, and her eyeballs were bloodshot.

She's been with Scarlett since she started giving birth, and she doesn't sleep a wink all night.

The silk quilt and sheets on the bed had long been messed up, and the wet sheets looked crumpled.

Scarlett's situation was even worse. She was drenched in sweat and seemed a little dehydrated. She was exhausted, and Melanie was gently coaxing her to drink water to moisten her dry lips. .

Bonnie tiptoed forward. ""

Bonnie didn't know why little Christine liked her so much, but it felt good to be liked.

Xiao Bo wanted Bonnie to hug her at first, but little Christine was soft. Bonnie was so small and weak, she didn't dare to take any risks.

It was when they were sitting on the sofa that Bonnie dared to hug little Christine, but it was still a special effort.
