Alice's P.O.V

September 30, 1969

Paul was at a meeting about signing a new recording contract. Helen was upstairs with Ethel teaching her how to read. I was left downstairs to look after Mary. Martha was sleeping in her bed.

"I love you Mary" I said, giving her a kiss on the forehead. She made a noise which indicated that she was hungry.

"Alright, I'll feed you" I said. I walked over to the couch and unbuttoned my shirt, getting ready to feed Mary. Once she was ready, she latched on to me and started to drink. Mary was very different from Ethel. When I first tried to feed Ethel, she outright refused to drink breast milk so I had to feed her through a bottle. Mary on the other hand, latched on right away. When Mary was finished, I covered myself up again. She let out a yawn and her eyelids started to droop.

"Looks like someone's tired" I said. I brought her upstairs to put her to bed. She slept in our bedroom until we decide to make our move to our farm in Scotland. Once she fell asleep, I went back downstairs. I sat down on the couch just as my husband walked through the door.

"Hi Paul" I said. He walked right past me and into the kitchen. He only ignores me like that when something is troubling him. I followed him into the kitchen. I saw him sitting at the table with his head in his hands. I walked up behind him and wrapped myself end around him.

"Paul, do you want to tell me what's wrong?" I said.

"John said he was leaving the band" Paul said. I could feel his heart break through his words.

"He what?" I asked

"I feel like I lost my best friend Alice" Paul said.

"He probably didn't mean it" I said

"He did mean it. He'd rather make music with Yoko" Paul said. He placed his hands over mine and leaned his head against my shoulder.

"What if I lose you and the kids?" Paul said

"Paul, you know that will never happen. You're my husband and I love you so so much. Your daughters aren't going anywhere. You're their father and they love you" I said. Paul smiled.

"You always have comforting words. That's one of the things I love most about you" Paul said. Our lips connected in a passionate kiss.

"Your kisses are also comforting" Paul said. I smirked and started running my hands down his chest.

"Am I comforting in any other way?" I asked.

"Yes you are, love" Paul said. He grabbed one of my hands and placed it on his clothed crotch.

"Aren't you a naughty boy" I said.

"Only for my sexy wife" Paul said. He kissed me again. I started to rub my hand over his growing erection.

"Fuck..." Paul breathed in pleasure.

"How badly do you want me to touch you?" I asked

"Very badly. I want your soft hand around my cock" Paul said. I stuck my hand down his trousers.

"You know you two have a bedroom upstairs, right?" Helen's voice rang out. I quickly pulled my handout of Paul's trousers. Paul and I looked at Helen.

"Well Mary is sleeping in there" I said

"And you think having sex in the kitchen is any better?" Helen asked.

"Either way, I'd get to make love to my beautiful wife" Paul whispered in my ear. I playfully hit his arm.

"How's Ethel doing with her reading lesson?" I asked

"She's a natural. She read Green Eggs and Ham to me" Helen said

"You hear that, love. Maybe she can start reading to Mary" Paul said

"That'd be nice. It would give them some sister bonding time" I said. Ethel came running into the kitchen carrying the book.

"Mommy! Daddy! I can read!" Ethel said

"We know. Helen said you did a good job of reading" I said

"Do you want to read for mommy and I?" Paul asked

"Okay daddy!" Ethel said. She climbed onto Paul's lap and opened the book to the first page.

"I am Daniel.I am Sam. Sam I am. That Sam-I-am That Sam-I-am! I do not like
that Sam-I-am. Do you like green eggs and ham? I do not like them, Sam-I-am. I do not like green eggs and ham." Ethel read to us. Paul and I looked at each other and smiled as she continued to read to us.

Paul went to go tuck Ethel into bed while I was getting Mary ready for bed. She looked up at me with big brown eyes that looked so much like her dad's.

"You've got your daddy's eyes" I said. I felt a presence behind me and noticed that Paul had come into the bedroom.

"You just about ready for bed Mary?" Paul said

"She is. She just needs a goodnight kiss from her daddy" I said. Paul kissed Mary on the forehead.

"Have a good sleep, little one" Paul said. I smiled and then kissed Mary on the forehead.

"We love you" I said. I placed her in her crib. Paul and I then crawled into bed. Paul laid down first and then pulled me into him so that we were cuddling.

"It's been seven months and I still can't believe you're my wife" Paul said

"I'm going to be your wife until the day we die" I said.

"Good because there is no way I'm ever going to let you go" Paul said, giving me a sweet and gentle kiss.

"What if one day we just stop talking to each other? Like we get into a really big fight and we don't talk to each other any more" I said

"Love, you know I'm never going to divorce you. Even if that does happen" Paul said

"What if another woman comes into your life and then you don't love me anymore?" I asked

"Love, that's never going to happen. You're the only woman I'll ever be in love with. What if you meet some other guy and you fall in love with him?" Paul asked

"That's only happened once and now I'm married to the guy I fell in love with. No one is stealing me away from you" I said. Paul kissed me again.

"I love you" Paul said

"I love you too" I said
