Chapter 54.
"So you're telling me....that little one inside you is John Lennon's." David asked as we walked to my car.
"You don't believe me do you?" I smiled. He shook his head.
"I don't know what to believe. And your daughter is..."
"Paul's."
"I thought you said it was Ringo's."
"No I said I believed it was Paul's but then I thought it was Ringo's but then it really did end up being Paul's at last."
"Sadie?"
"Hmm?"
He stopped in his tracks, making me follow. "What have you gotten yourself into?"
I laughed. "You mean out of. They're no longer a part of my life David. It's just me and Anita. That's her name. My little girl. Anita."
He smiled and nodded for us to continue walking until we reached my car. I looked up at him.
"I would like to know what you've been through. I mean it was all about me and nothing about you."
He shrugged. "Not much to say."
"We were once close David. I would like to know you again. My god I...No letters or anything. I know we had a falling out but... Engaged. We felt so close to each other we wanted to have a life with one another. Tell me, why didn't it work?"
He looked at me, then at the sky. "I got the letter a week before you wanted to make things official. Seeing you so happy and excited for a new life....I would be away for years. You'd be alone. I couldn't do that to you. I loved you so much I felt I had to do the right thing. Let you go. Live life, no worries, no loneliness. And you did."
I looked down and sniffled. "What about when you came out?"
"I asked around for you. I got an address from your mom to an apartment. I visited but I was told you moved away. No trace of finding you. I knew that was it. I lost you. I stayed in L.A and found myself a job working as a mechanic. I had experience from the war of course. A few weeks afterwards I picked up a guitar again. It reminded me of the times we'd play up in your room."
I smiled and wiped my tears. "Mom would get so mad when she found out you were up there. We ran away together. We had a dream of becoming the next big thing in music. I'd be the singer and you'd be the guitarist."
"I guess not all dreams come true huh? When I saw you again just now I...I had to make sure. Then I saw your face and...." he trailed off and shook his head. "I just can't believe were here again." He smiled.
I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him as tight as I could. He was so warm and strong. My eyes watering at the moments we missed. The lost memories renewed. What could have been.
"Won't you come to mine? It looks like rain and..I have a little girl waiting for me. I can't say goodbye. Not again."
"If I'm not a burden." He gave a small smile.
"That's impossible." I blushed, unlocking my car and soon, we were on our way to mine.
..
I unlocked the front door and opened, letting him in. I set the groceries on the table and heard laughing and giggling from the laundry room.
"I'm home!" I yelled. "You remember my sister don't you?"
"I'm afraid not. We always spent our days at mine remember?" He laughed. I blushed and nodded.
We stayed silent until Emily ran into the room with a puppy in her arms. "I'm naming this one Harold! Anita helped me...with the name." She finished slowly when she saw David beside me. "David...what are you doing here?"
"You two know each other?" I asked.
His eyes widened when he saw her. "You're pregnant Em.."
"Yeah I um...I forgot to mention that..." She said silently.
"Wait what is going on here!?" I asked not understanding anything.
"Sadie how do you know David?" Emily looked at me.
"He was my first love Emily. I think I'd remember him for sure." I crossed my arms.
She sighed and shook her head. "David is....the guy who knocked me up."
I just stared silently in shock. My mind all over the place. I looked up at David as he bit his lip and soon, everything went black as I fell to the floor.
