Turned out that they didn't need to even move Molly's bed into Dhani's room because every night after Natalie and George put her in her bed and tucked her and Dhani in, she would get out of her bed and Dhani would cuddle her. She slept in Dhani's bed every night and George and Natalie never saw her in their room at night anymore, just in the mornings when she and Dhani would come in.
So, it was odd one night a few weeks after they'd moved in that Molly came into their room complaining about being cold. George got out if bed and he picked her up. He took her back to her and Dhani's room and he put her in bed. She whispered at him.
"Molly, it's OK, love." He said, "I just as warm in here as it is in my room." Dhani Sat up groggily and he scratched his head.
"Dad, she said she was cold, but when she was with me she was really warn. I tried to help her get warm because she was shivering, but she was so hot she made me hot." He said. George frowned and he out his hand to Molly's forehead and cheeks. She was burning up. Molly hadn't really got sick when it was going around before and now it seemed to have caught up with her. She whispered again and George picked her back up. She sniffles and he took her back to his room after he told Dhani to go back to sleep.
This wasn't good. Not only did George hate that poor Molly was sick, but they were going on a big trip in a few days. The band was going to India and all the kids were coming along with them.
"Nat," George said as he got back into bed. Molly cuddled him and sniffled, "Nat, wake up."
Natalie turned over and looked at them. She frowned wham she saw Molly, "what's wrong?" She asked stroking the back of Molly's head.
"Molly's got a fever." He mumbled as he started to go back to sleep. Natalie sighed and she kissed the back of Molly's head.
The next morning was when they were leaving on their trip. They had to get up really early to make the plane and then George and Natalie had to deal with four kids who were cranky and tired. Rosie was scared out of her mind and didn't let go of Natalie's hand until she finally fell asleep and Molly made George hold her the whole trip, which he didn't blame her for. She was sick and George didn't want to upset her. So he held her in his lap. He ended up falling asleep with her. Dhani was good, but he kept asking Natalie if he could go and ait with Bernie, who was sitting with Ringo and Maureen and her brother. She kept looking back at Dhani and waving or she'd smile at him. He'd giggle and wave of smile back shyly. Freddie slept the entire trip.
Eventually Natalie just told Dhani to go and do what he liked. Which he did. He shared a seat with Bernie and they giggled and poked and played while they were on the plane. When they landed they went to the hotel and got settled in before the whole group got together to eat dinner. They were in India.
They had a strange meal and they all talked. Dhani talked to Bernie all evening and Molly sat next to George looking miserable. Maureen even asked her if she was alright. Rosie was slightly bored because Heather and Linda didn't come along with them. She ended up talking a lot to Richie, which worried George a little. George also noticed that Julian didn't come with John and Cynthia.
After dinner, it was very late and Natalie and George put the little kids in bed. In their hotel room they had two beds. They'd brought a sort of portable crib for Freddie to sleep in. Rosie, Dhani, and Molly would share one bed while George and Natalie had the other one. So George tucked the three oldest in the bed while Natalie put Freddie to sleep.
"Ok, you three go to sleep OK? We're gonna have some fun tomorrow." George said giving each of them a kiss. Molly whimpered and George gave her another kiss. He checked her fever and found it had gone down some, "You'll feel better if you goto sleep." He told her. He left them to go to sleep and he hung out with Ringo and Paul who were sitting out in the hall.
"So Geo, what ever happened to Pattie Boyd?" Paul asked rubbing his cheek. George made a face.
"Aw, she was just something to throw the press and everybody off." George said laughing, "I haven't seen her in a while and none of the kids liked her."
"That's understandable," Ringo shrugged. George shrugged back as Natalie came out of the room. She kissed George's cheek and he put his arm around her waist.
"Geo, Molly says that she wants you to sing to her." She said, making George blush a little. Paul smirked and George shoved him before he turned and went back into his room. Molly was crying silently while Dhani tried to get her to stop. Rosie had already gone to sleep. George smiled at Dhani and told him to go to sleep before he picked up Molly and he wiped her face.
He started to sing to her and by the time she was asleep it was very late and George decided to goto bed as well. He let Molly sleep in his bed because Dhani and Rosie were taking up a lot of room. He went to sleep quite easily.
Natalie came in a few minutes later and Molly cuddled up to her with a slight whine. Both George and Natalie were woken up frequently during the night because of Molly and they didn't get much sleep.
