As she walked through the door, Hallie laughed a little. "Now, was that so bad?" She got up on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. "You're going to be a wonderful father, John."

"Yes, it was," John said, annoyed. "I told her that I didn't want any part in her life, or the lives of those little brats. Especially since they are related to Lincoln," he spat.

Hallie raised her eyebrows. "Really?" she asked. "Well, I doubt Shira's that closely related to him. And besides, those babies are your own flesh and blood. You can't possibly hate them!"

"Well, then suppose I am only indifferent to them. I don't care what happens to them, as long as they stay out of my life."

She narrowed her eyes a bit. "How could you say that? I saw the way you were holding your daughter. Can you honestly tell me that you don't care about her? Or her brother, either?"

**AS JOHN**
John looked her straight in the eye and answered. "Yes, I can. I appologize apologize if that causes you distress."

Hallie's chest swelled up with rage. "Oh, you appologize, do you? John, these are two beautiful, perfect children you're talking about—and you're their father!" she screamed. "You don't care about them, hm? I suppose you don't care about anyone, then! You don't give a hang what happens to anyone but yourself!" She saw him start to speak but cut him off. "And don't give me any of that 'I sacrificed my happiness for my country,' thing. That's a load of horse manure and you know it! And you know what? You didn't even help your country! After Andrew Johnson became president, the Radical Republicans took over the Reconstruction. The very people you struck your one, pathetic blow for suffered because of you. But you don't care, do you, as long as you get your fifteen minutes?" She glared at him, her face very red now.

John opened his mouth to say something, but closed it, upon realizing he didn't know what to say.
How could she say those things to him? Those maddening lies!
"Well," he said, speaking a little too softly, with a dangerously calm look on his face. "If this is your opinion of me, why don't you go find someone else?"

Now it was Hallie's turn to be speechless. It was true, though. Why didn't she? Unable to say anything, she stood there and stared at the floor.

John glared at her with his eyes narrowed to slits.
"That was not a suggestion. Get out."

Hallie's eyes widened. She realized that she had no other place to stay. "That's it? One little quarrel and it's out the door?" Her face became more desperate. "But John, where will I go? What will I do?"
((3...2...1... XD))

((I can't believe I'm doing this, you goof.))
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
John turned his back to her and walked into the other room, not waiting to see if she would go or follow him. He was glad to be rid of her nuisance. ... But why did he feel so bad?

((SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! ILY!!!1))
"I'll think of it all tomorrow, at Tara. I can stand it then. Tomorrow, I'll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day. *cue Tara's Theme*"
Hallie stood and watched him follow, wondering whether to go after him or just leave. Choking back tears, she realized that he wouldn't take her back. He'd never take her back. He was too stubborn, too heartless, too cruel.
Giving one final, heartbreaking glance at the door where John had left, she turned and walked out the front door.
((I am so not Scarlett at all. XD))
