Disclaimer: I'm sad that I don't own The Beatles. Everything written is fiction. Dates and history have been changed to go with the story. Photos used are not mine but have been edited by me! They are purely meant to give the story flavor.
Important: Remember that history has been changed! Jane Asher, Cynthia Powell, Yoko Ono, Sean and Julian Lennon never happened! Also, Jane Asher will be portraying Lucy in photos. Mary McCartney will be portraying Jude as a baby. Julian Lennon will be portraying Jude as a child. Stella McCartney will be portraying Harmony.
What if John Lennon had someone during his hard times, Beatle mania, everything? Would it rewrite the history we all know so well about The Beatles? What if this person was a girl? And what if it just happened to be a girl that had history and baggage with his pal Paul?
Chapter 2
Morning came quick. Lucy slowly opened her eyes and sat up in bed. She looked beside her and smiled at her husband who was still sleeping. She quietly laughed to herself once she noticed that John had fallen asleep with his glasses still on. Slowly and quietly, Lucy got out of bed and removed his glasses without waking him.
After her shower, Lucy started her morning routine and put on the tea kettle. Turning around she began to rummage through a drawer in hopes of finding a hair band. After finding one and during the process of putting her hair into it, the telephone rang. Quickly Lucy ran to answer it. She didn't want her family being awoken.
"Hello?"
It was her mother. Lucy missed her family and still after all these years found she was homesick at times.
Her family lived in America where she was originally from until she left at a very early age for Europe. That is where she had met Paul and where she never looked back. Lucy and her mother talked for about an hour and after a little while said their I miss yous and their goodbyes. As soon as Lucy put the phone back on the hook, she heard Harmony saying to the world. Lucy smiled and made her way into her daughter's room to see the wide awake beauty. She stopped in the doorway to see that John had gotten to her first. She leaned against the frame of the door and watched with a content smile on her face. He was a brilliant father and everyone that knew John knew that his daughter was his treasure at least besides his wife. She continued to watch as he cradled their daughter in his arms, bouncing her a bit and humming quietly with his lips against her head.
"There, there Miss 'Armony love, daddy's got you."
Lucy's heart melted, as always. She turned and quietly left them and headed towards the kitchen to start breakfast.
After breakfast, the Lennon's laid on top a blanket in their backyard. John and Lucy lay side by side and their daughter laid on her belly on top her father's chest. All three laid in silence, except for Harmony's random babbles. They enjoyed the presence of each other, of their little family. This was something John had never imagined possible for himself. He never thought that his life would end up the way it did. He did though love Lucy from day one, when Lucy was still with another, another being his friend Paul. But John knew they she and him were meant for each other, completed each other. She was his angel, his muse, his life. He was her protector, her best friend, her life. John turned to look at his wife lying beside him. Her hair was no longer in a band, but down and laying all over. She was perfect. He leaned his head forward and kissed his daughter's head, feeling her soft and still rather new hair against his lips.
"Thank you.." He said to Lucy.
Lucy turned towards him, slightly smiling and a little bit confused, "For?"
John kept his lips to Harmony's head, "For making me a dad to this person."
Lucy propped herself up on one of her arms. She could feel the tears forming in her eyes.
"Oh, John.."
She whispered and leaned over to kiss his forehead. Her hand joined his which on still on top their daughter's back.
Later that day...
"Lucy?..John?"
Paul called out, walking into the Lennon's residence with Jude's hand in his; he had his sons bag in his other.
There was no answer.
"Okay, Judey."
He said to Jude, walking into the living area and setting his bag on the floor.
John entered.
"Hi Uncle John!"
Jude exclaimed, running over to greet him.
John stood still, feeling a little awkward. He looked down at the small boy whose arms were around his legs.
He patted his head.
"Hey there."
John then looked over his own shoulder to check for any sign of Lucy, which he desperately needed.
"Uh, Lucy.. Er your mum should be in soon."
He said with a weak smile and patted the boy's head again.
John looked at Paul and gave him an up nod and then walked off.
"I thought I heard you!"
Lucy said happy to see her son as she entered the room.
"Come here, love."
She knelt down to Bobby's level and gave him a big loving hug and a kiss on his forehead, picking him up and placing him on her hip. One of Jude's arms went around the back of her neck. Paul smiled on. Lucy looked over towards Paul and gave him a small smile.
"Everything went well?"
She asked him and placed the boy back down. Paul placed his hands in his pockets and nodded.
"Yeah, 'course. Good kid, he is."
She nodded and smiled at her son.
"Love, why don't you put your stuff in your room, mhm?"
When Jude was out of sight, she turned back to Paul.
"Well.."
She didn't really know what to say. Granted that the past was in the part, there was still some awkwardness in the air. It thickened even more when John appeared in the room with Harmony in his arms. Lucy's attention turned from Paul to her husband and daughter. Paul continued to stand with his hands in his pockets, looking over at the new people who joined them in the room. He looked at the small child that was in John's arms, giving a weak smile. This was John and his Lucy's child. Paul felt weird, uncomfortable even, in his stomach. His mind was thinking childishly and he tried very hard to not think of John touching her. Thinking how this little girl was created, he shook the thoughts out and caught John's glare. Lucy noticed the air growing thick and cleared her throat.
"Paul, this is Harmony."
John looked at Lucy and then the floor, hugging the baby to him more then he already was as if protecting her from a monster. His lips rested against her small head. Paul, still with a weak smile, gave a little wave to the baby, not knowing what else to do. John looked back at Lucy.
"I'm going to give 'armony a bath."
He kissed Lucy's cheek and before he left the room, turned in the direction of Paul. Without any eye contact, John said "See you" and left.
"I better get going me' self."
Paul said and Lucy nodded. They said their goodbyes and Lucy then went to find John. He was in his swim shorts, sitting in the big tub with Harmony between his legs. Bubbles and toys filled the bath, along with the little girl's giggles and splashes.
"Hey..."
Lucy said as she went over and sat on the floor next to the tub. John looked at her from behind his now wet hair causing Lucy to laugh. Harmony had managed to get behind her father and pour a cup of water over his head. He looked at his daughter with a serious look on his face that soon vanished from the laugh that she let out from it. He gave in immediately to her, grabbing her and causing her to laugh harder.
