AN: I know the last chapter was really fluffy at the end, but it sort of just played out that way. Anyroad, keep reading and reviewing. It makes me smile. Here is the next chapter!

CHAPTER 10

Dahlia's POV

Well, it took forever, but I finally was released from the hospital. I kept insisting to the doctor that I was okay and I wanted to go home, but he kept me prisoner until he was satisfied that I would be able to walk. By the time I was released, 9 weeks had passed since the Chapman incident.

When Paul and John came to pick me up, I was all smiles and so were they.

"Cor, Dahlia, it's about bloody time they released you!" John said as Paul and I walked out of the hospital room.

I hugged John and said, "Yeah, I know. It's ridiculous how long they kept me here, but I guess they had a good reason."

I released John just as Paul came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, and he said, "Of course they had a good reason! They had to make sure that the baby was okay."

I nodded and patted my stomach, which was now slightly bulging. "Yep, they did, and the baby is fine."

Paul let go of me and the three of us walked out of the hospital and over to the car that was waiting for us. I climbed in and Brian was sitting there with the girls. Mary and Brianna grinned at me and hugged me. I sat next to Brian, who put his arm around me and said, "We are sure glad to have you out of there, Dahlia. I miss having you sitting next to me in the studio, y' know."

Although The Beatles had broken up, Brian was still the manager of a number of other bands and I was still his assistant.

"And I miss being there with you, Bri." Paul and John had gotten into the car by this time and we drove off. Apparently, Paul and Brian had been staying with John, Yoko, and Sean at the Dakota and that is where we were headed.

Paul, Brian, the girls, and I were going to be flying back to England in two days and we were all very excited to get home. Although we were thrilled to be spending time with John, we all really missed good old merry England.

Ringo and George had to leave, unfortunately, but we had been keeping them updated via phone calls. We made it back to the Dakota and went up to John and Yoko's place.

John opened the door and Yoko came over, all smiles.

"Oh, Dahlia, I am so happy to see you. I want to thank you for saving my husband. If it weren't for you, Sean and I would be...well, we would be John-less," Yoko said, as she hugged me. Although I often thought that Yoko could have backed off during The Beatles' recordings, I really liked her. She loved John with her whole being and treated him right, so that was enough for me.

"Yoko, you don't need to thank me. I'm just glad that I got to you guys in time," I told her.

She smiled at me and went over to give her husband a kiss and hugged Paul and Brian. I knew perfectly well that Paul didn't really like Yoko, but he knew John loved her so he was nice to her. Brianna and Mary were standing next to Paul and Yoko looked at them with a big smile on her face and said, "Girls, Sean is in the other room watching TV. I know he'll be thrilled to see you, if you want to go in there."

Brianna and Mary beamed at Yoko and said, "Sure, thanks, Auntie Yoko." The girls absolutely loved Sean and bounded off to go see the little guy.

I turned to John and said, "Honestly, John, it's amazing how much Sean looks like you. I mean, yeah, he's got Yoko's eyes but he looks almost exactly like you."

John grinned and nodded. "Yeah, I know. I like to call him my mini-me."

I laughed and Yoko said, "Oh, Sean is such a Daddy's boy, though. He's always hanging around John, any chance he gets."

John smiled proudly and I said, "Nothing wrong with that. Hey have you seen Julian at all lately?"

He shook his head and said, "No, I haven't, why?"

I shrugged and said, "Oh, no reason, but he's gotten so tall, John. He's seventeen now, I believe."

John nodded and put his arm around Paul and said, "Yup, same age I was when I met the bestest buddy I would ever have!" He hugged Paul tightly and we all laughed.

"Gah, John! Get off me!" Paul said, joking around.

John grinned at Paul and said, "Nuh uh! You're stuck with me now, Macca!" Yoko, Brian, and I were cracking up and Paul looked at me with his eyebrow raised.

"Y'know, Dahlia, my love, you could help me out here."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Very well, o wonderful husband of mine." I walked over to John and Paul and said, "Johnny, I kind of need my husband back."

John squinted at me and said, "Oh alright, for you, I will set him free." John let go of Paul and grinned at him.

We all walked into the living room and sat down and got to reminiscing about the years that have passed.

"Do you remember the day that Brian met you, Dahlia?" John said with glee in his brown eyes.

I grinned at Brian and said, "Of course, I remember! You thought I was pregnant if I remember correctly, Bri."

Brian laughed and said, "Yeah, well, with these guys, you could never be sure."

"Yeah he's right Dahl….hey!" John said.

We all laughed and Brian said, "That gets you every time John." John nodded and said, "Yeah, well, you're right."

About ten minutes later, I remembered what the doctor told me one day after checking on the baby.

"Oh, guys, I have a little something to tell you about the baby!" I said excitedly.

Everyone looked at me and I said, "So what do you guys think about the name James?"

I grinned as Paul figured it out. He lit up like a Christmas tree and said, "We're having a boy?"

I nodded and Paul leapt up and lifted me up in the air, twirling me around as he hugged me. John hugged me after Paul and then Brian and Yoko hugged me.

"So seriously though, let's name him after his daddy. Let's name him James Paul," I said. Paul grinned and said, "James Paul McCartney, Jr. I like it."

"Good. I'm gonna go tell the girls." I got up and went into the room where Brianna, Mary, and Sean were watching The Looney Tunes Show.

"Hey, girls, hey Sean," I said.

Sean turned around and ran over to me. He leapt into my arms and said, "Auntie Dahlia!" I hugged "mini-John" and held him as I said, "Hey, girls, guess what?"

"What, mum?" Brianna said, still focusing on Wiley Coyote and The Road Runner.

"In about six months…you are going to have a little brother."

Both girls turned around and said, "It's a boy?"

"Yup, it's a boy."

"YAY! We're gonna have a brother!" Mary cheered.

"YAY! We can kick the crap out of any girl that messes with him!" Brianna said.

I shook my head while laughing and thought, I love my life.
