July 1st 1973
I had been holding back about telling Roger about the twins for a little while. How would I bring it up? Casually? Blurt it out? Ask him how many children he wants? I wasn't sure but he had to know. I didn't know what he would think. I thought we were finished with the surprises. I was very worried, but I had to tell him at some point, only when?

Queens debut album "Queen" was going to be released on the 13th of July 1973. I had heard snippets of it from being in the studio but I honestly had no idea what to expect. I heard the riff to their song "Liar" which I liked so far. Roger had been working hard, day and night so there was no time to tell him about the twins. He was out working till 3 at night and up at 6 in the morning. I was still working but in September I would go on maternity. I had just started working in the emergency department in London Hospital. It was very busy, exciting and I had a lot to learn. I couldn't rush into being a paramedic straight away so I was going to be a nurse for a number of weeks and then after maternity straight into paramedic.

One day I was walking around the corridors on my lunch break when I saw Brian at the reception. I was wondering what he was doing there. "Brian?" I asked him. He turned around and pulled me to a hug. "Megan! Hi! Listen Chrissie is in here she's had an accident. It's not that serious but I thought she should have it checked out...." he said. "Oh my God! Is she alright?" "Well she has some glass in her face but I think it's okay." He said. "What happened exactly?" I asked. "Well we were walking down the road and two men were fighting, one of them threw a glass bottle at the other and it hit Chrissie, we didn't see it coming." He said. "I better go see her." I said grabbing Brian's arm for him to come with me but he wouldn't budge. "Brian?" "I don't think I can face her, I mean I should have protected her." He said, hanging his head. "Brian!" I said as I noticed a piece of glass hidden in his bush of curls. "There's glass in your head!" "Where?" He said putting his hand up to feel it, wincing after he touched the sensitive cut. I brought him to a cubicle to dress the wound.

"Brian, I have something to tell Roger but I'm not sure how to..." I said as I was extracting the glass from his head with a small forceps. "What is it?" He asked as he was squeezing my arm, the pain of the glass as a bit much for him. "Well I found out something about the baby.....well that I think he needs to know....well he does need to know but I'm not sure how to tell him." I said timidly. "What is it?" He repeated. "I'm having twins." I said as I cleaned the wound. "That wasn't hard was it?" He asked me. "Just pretend it's me your talking to. Twins? Wow, that will be lovely." "Yeah but two babies?" I said putting a bandage on. "Yeah, two, that's what twins are...." Brian said sarcastically. "Haha Brian you're so funny. Okay well we better go see Chrissie now." I said. "I'm not sure...." replied Brian. "Brian, you didn't do anything wrong, you've nothing to be scared of trust me. I'll go with you." I said patting his arm reassuringly. Brian looked up at me. "Thank you Megan." He said going to kiss me. "Woah!" I said putting my hand up. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Going to kiss your cheek?" Brian frowned. "Oh!" I said laughing. He pecked my cheek and we went to see Chrissie. Brian was holding on to my arm like a young child I had treated the day before.

"Chrissie, are you alright?" I said pulling back the curtain to see her. "Hi Megan, I'm fine, thanks. Brian? What happened to your head?" She asked concerned. "Oh some of the glass got into my head. I suppose I didn't feel it because I was worried about you....." he said. "Aww, Brian!" Chrissie said putting her hands to get chest. "I'll leave you to it." I said as I left the room. I was shortly followed by Brian. "Wait, Megan! I just want to say thanks." "No problem Brian!" I said. "I'm finished for the day now, so are you staying here with Chrissie?" I asked. "Oh no, I have to be back at the studio. Would you like to come with me? You could tell Roger about..." he said pointing to my bump. "I suppose why not?" I said laughing as we left the hospital. The entire drive to the studio was silent mainly because I was practicing what I was going to say to Roger. "Megan," Brian said, almost reading my thoughts. "Just say exactly what you said to me. Just say you found out something, he'll say what and then you say you're having twins. Simple." He said as we pulled into the studio. "Thanks Brian." On the way in Brian squeezed my arm "good luck" as I approached the studio. I never noticed till then was a really nice guy he was.
