Chapter 37

Alice's P.O.V

September 13, 1971

At the end of August, we came back to London in time for the birth of Stella. Paul and I wanted all our children to be born in London. Paul had gone out with the girls to get some things I asked for. I couldn't really go out because I was nine months pregnant and on the verge of giving birth.

"Alice, I made you some tea" Mabel said as she sat beside me on the couch. I smiled as I took the tea from her.

"Thanks mom" I said. I took a sip of the tea just as I felt a pain in my stomach from a contraction. It caused me to choke on my tea.

"Sweetie, are you alright?" Mabel asked.

"Yeah. I just felt a little contraction, that's all" I said. Just after I said that, I felt another one. I groaned out in pain. Then there was another one.

"Robert! Get in here please!" Mabel called out for my father. Dad quickly rushed into the room.

"What's going on?" he asked. That's when I felt my water break.

"My water just broke" I said. I felt another contraction.

"Okay. Let's get you to the hospital" dad said. He grabbed my hand and helped me stand up.

"Mabel, go get Helen and tell her to go find Paul and meet us at the hospital" dad said. Mabel nodded and rushed off to another part of the house.

"Dad! Hurry up! I'm about to give birth here!" I said

"Okay, okay. We're going" dad said.

Dad got me to the hospital. I was taken to a room and put into a hospital gown.

"Okay honey. Let's deliver this baby" dad said as he walked in, dressed in his scrubs.

"No! Not yet! Not until Paul gets here!" I said then groaned out in pain when I felt another contraction.

"I don't think I can wait. The baby needs to be delivered now" dad said. I hesitantly nodded. I didn't want Paul to miss the birth of his child but if my dad says the baby needs to be born now, I should listen to him.

"Alice!" I heard my husband call for me. He was just in time. Paul rushed into the room.

"I'm not too late, am I?" Paul asked, standing by my side and grabbing my hand. I shook my head and smiled at my husband.

"Okay, sweetie, I need you to push" dad said. I did just that.

"Something isn't right. Alice, can you push for me again" dad said. I pushed and pushed but my dad just let out a frustrated sigh.

"Dad, what's going on?" I asked with worry.

"I should be seeing the baby's head by now but I'm not" dad said. I felt my heart drop. I could also feel Paul's grip on my hand tighten.

"Now, I wouldn't quite worry you two. I'm just going to have to do a Caesarean section" dad said.

"Isn't that where you cut me open?" I asked

"Well, I have no other option. I'm going to talk to a few other doctors and go prepare for the procedure" dad said. He left the room.

"Paul, what if something goes wrong?" I asked

"Love, don't think like that. I bet you she'll be born on the wings of an angel" Paul said. He brought my hand up to his lips and kissed it.

"Remember when we released Ram and then we had the press conference?" I asked. Paul smiled at the thought.

"That's also when the public found out that you were pregnant again" Paul said

"We didn't even have to tell them. The baby bump was a dead giveaway" I said. Dad then came back into the room.

"Alright, everything is ready. I'm going to move you to another room Alice" dad said

"And I'll be waiting outside, ready to greet our beautiful child" Paul said. He leaned over to give me a kiss.

"Are you ready Alice?" dad asked

"I'm ready" I said

In the operating room, dad and the other doctors were preparing me for the procedure.

"Alison" I heard a faint whisper. I looked over and saw mom.

"Mom" I whispered. She smiled and grabbed my hand. I knew she was only a vision but she felt so real.

"Paul is praying that Stella is born on the wings of an angel. That's why I'm here" mom said

"Are you the angel?" I asked

"You bet. I'm never leaving your side" mom said

~

Mom stayed true to her word. She never left my side once. She stood beside me as I held Stella in my arms.

"She's absolutely beautiful" mom said. I looked at mom and smiled.

"Thanks mom" I said. I heard the door open and in walked Paul. He walked up to the bed and sat beside me. He looked at his newborn daughter and smiled.

"Stella's beautiful" Paul said.

"Who do you think she'll take after?" I said

"I think she'll take after you. I bet she'll have your eyes and beautiful blonde hair" Paul said. I smiled and grabbed Paul's hand.

"My dream came true Paul" I said

"It did. I think I know why we're naming the band Wings" Paul said

"Why is that?" I asked

"We're naming it after Stella. She was born on the wings of an angel" Paul said

"That angel was my mother. She was here with me. She held my hand. Her touch felt so real" I said. Dad then joined us.

"How's my granddaughter doing?" dad asked

"She's perfect" I said

"That's good to hear. Well, we got the results back from the tests we've done and I'd say it's okay to take Stella home tonight" dad said

"What do you say, love? We take her home to meet her sisters" Paul said

"I think that'd be wonderful" I said.

When we got home, Mabel and Helen were sitting in the living room.

"Mom, Helen. Paul and I have someone you'd like to meet" I said. They both stood and walked over to us.

"She's beautiful" Mabel said

"Where's Ethel and Mary?" I asked.

"Asleep in their room" Helen said. I nodded and made my way to their room. Ethel and Mary were both asleep, cuddled close to each other. I sat on the foot of the bed.

"Girls, wake up" I said. Their eyes fluttered open and they sat up.

"What is it mommy?" Ethel asked, rubbing her eyes.

"There's someone I want you to meet" I said. Mary's eyes moved to Stella.

"Baby!" she said. She moved close to me and admired her baby sister.

"This is your sister Stella" I said. Ethel smiled and moved closer as well.

"I told you I was having a sister" Ethel said. She looked down at Stella and admired her as well.

"I love you Stella" Ethel said, kissing Stella's forehead.

"I love you too Stella" Mary said, following Ethel's actions. I smiled at them both.

"Stella loves you both" I said.
