You Stole My Heart

Part 26: Whatever we Do, We Do It Together

    August 8, 1973.

Roger and I woke up rested in our new bedroom. I heard Benjamin whimper in his own bed.

"Good morning mama sweetie, did you sleep well in your new room?" I whispered. Benjamin looked at me with a broad smile.

It was almost 9 o'clock in the morning, I had to wake Roger up because he had to rehearse for their new song.

I stood next to the bed with Benjamin in my arms, I put Benjamin on my pillow. Benjamin pulled Roger's hair.  "Wake up, sleepyhead!" I laughed.

Roger's eyes fluttered open, he rubbed them and sat up straight. "Slept well?" I asked as I went to feed Benjamin.  Roger yawned, "Yeah."

Unfortunately, our bedroom was not yet finished. There was still painting to be done and there was all sorts of rubbish that had to be cleaned up. Roger and I agreed that we would do that later.

Roger got out of bed and went to the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

Benjamin was drinking at my breast.  "Good drinking boy, it will make you big and strong." I said. Roger regretted not being able to bottle feed more often because I was now breastfeeding.

Roger came out of the bathroom yawning, he was completely naked, well he was only wearing underpants.

Roger stretched out and went back to bed. "Sleep tight." Roger said as he tossed his blanket over his head. "What are you telling me now? Hey, didn't you have to rehearse today?" I asked.

Roger looked at the alarm clock, it was 9:15 am. He had to be at the studio at half past ten. "Shit, I thought it was Saturday." Roger said, he got up tired.  "Why are you always so tired? Are you okay?" I asked concerned.

"I feel fine, could be because of the stress." Roger laughed. "Huh, what stress?" I asked. Roger brushed his hair.  "Oh, I think it's because of the new house. I just don't sleep well at night."

Roger was dressed, "See you later honey, I'll be home in two hours."  Roger said as he kissed me. I was in bed, Benjamin was sucking at my breast for milk. "Goodbye sweetheart, Benjamin and I are going to miss you very much." I laughed. Roger smiled and gave me a hug.

While Roger was gone, he got out of bed. Our Benjamin was fed, it was time for his nap. I put him in his beautiful crib, he fell asleep immediately.  My little angel.

I was planning to brighten up the bedroom. It looked so white and dull. I sighed, "What should I do about it."  I sighed, I had hopeless thoughts.

Finally I had a great idea! I still had posters from The Beatles, Roger likes them. And I had wall stickers, our favorite.

Finally, those posters are stuck to the wall. I sighed and wiped sweat from my forehead, it was very hot in the bedroom.

I plopped down on our bed, missing Roger a bit. My sweet husband, my tough sweet drummer.

And then it was nap time for Mother Antonia. I was exhausted, I took Benjamin in my arms to lie on the couch.

"Sleep tight little one." I whispered and yawned. I fell asleep right away.

       Rogers POV:

I came home from practicing our new song that we can release next week. I'm so glad that circumstance allowed it to go ahead.

When I got home, the fiercest storms started. It started to thunder and blow, I was so glad I had a car.

I turned the key in our new door, our new beautiful home. The backyard was very large, Antonia and I did not expect that we can move quickly.

"Hello sweetie, I'm home!" I said. No answer, I put my drumsticks in my pocket.

There I found Antonia sleeping, Benjamin was sleeping on her chest. I loved moments like this, it looked so cute.

I took Benjamin in my arms, Antonia turned her head to the right. My dear wife, she is doing so well.

Benjamin started to cry loudly. "Shhh, little boy. Mama's up in a minute, would you like to get in your bed?" I whispered, I went to his bedroom to put him to bed.

I turned on the music box, Benjamin looked with his diamond eyes. I gave him a kiss on his forehead, "Sleep tight, honey."

I quietly left his bedroom, what should I do now? I was also quite exhausted.

The couch where Antonia was big enough for me, I curled up against her.  She woke up and looked at me wide-eyed. "May I come and lie with you?" I whispered. Antonia nodded and lifted her blanket.

"How was your practice afternoon?"  Antonia asked in a sleepy voice. "Very good, it couldn't be better, Freddie will come by this week to admire our new house."

"I would like that." She said. I nodded, "Yes." I said in a sleepy voice. We both fell asleep..

      Antonias POV:

I woke up to Benjamin's crying, the nap time was over. I had energy!

Roger was sleeping on my shoulder, I tried to gently pull him away from me.  "Move over, honey." I whispered. Roger continued to snore and yawn. I chuckled, what would I do without this sleepy boy?

I let Roger sleep well, I put the blanket over his body because he was wet from rain. I walked with stretched room to Benjamin's room. "Hello little boy, did you wake up?" I laughed as I lifted Benjamin.

Benjamin had learned on his own how to keep his body stable, just a little longer and he can sit up straight. Roger and I didn't expect it, because Benjamin was born earlier than we thought.

It was feeding time for our little boy.  Benjamin already started sucking on his tongue because he was very hungry, I pulled up my t-shirt. "There you go sweetheart." I whispered.  Breastfeeding felt wonderful.  Motherhood is beautiful.

I sat on the big blue chair in Benjamin's room. I had closed the door because I was putting on some music for Benjamin, I just let Roger sleep.

"Does it taste good?" I laughed as I looked at Benjamin. Benjamin sucked on, he could have a lot of milk.

Benjamin has had his afternoon snack and sleep. Time to wake up his father!  (If that will work.)

I walked to the living room Benjamin in my arms. I rubbed Roger's soft face.  "Wake up daddy bear." I whispered.  Roger smiled and opened his eyes. "Well, hello!" I laughed. Roger stretched out. "Hello, lovies." Roger whispered.

Roger got up, rubbed his hair, and poured water.  "Are you feeling well?"  I asked concerned.  Roger has been seeing a little pale.

Roger nodded and downed his glass of water. "Why shouldn't I feel good? Honey?" Roger asked with a raised eyebrow.

Benjamin started to cry a little in my arms. "You look pale and you are always tired." I answered. A crooked smile appeared on Roger's face. "I've had that for a long time, actually I should take a blood test once." Roger said as he was washing the dishes.

"We'll do that sometime, if you want." I said. Roger came very close to me, rubbing my cheeks. "You can be my sexy doctor." Roger said, he got a little... Horny like.

Roger kissed my entire face and later wrapped his hand around my shoulder.  "Hey, I was thinking the other day, we can we can have another baby, look how big the house is." Roger said with a creepy grin on his face. "Well, you know Roger, not just yet. Okay?" I laughed.  Roger kissed me, "I was just kidding, darling. See Benjamin grow up first."

Benjamin, our first wonderful little son. He's doing so damn well.
It was just an ordinary day, we survived the day with lots of love from each other.

End of this chapter, sorry this was too simple. I am out of ideas..
