Chapter 72

Alice's P.O.V

December 15, 1972

I was glad when I had all my scenes filmed. That meant that we were ready to head home. Guy took us all to the airport so we could catch our flights home. Linda would be catching a flight back to Tucson, while Paul, the girls and I would be going back to London.

"Have a safe flight, all of you. Alice, I'm really sorry about Roger's behaviour towards you. If he ever causes you more trouble, don't be afraid to call me" Guy said

"Thank you Guy" I said.

"Paul, you take good care of Alice and protect her" Guy said

"I wouldn't let anything happen to my queen or my princesses" Paul said. Guy smiled and looked at Linda.

"Thanks for tagging along Linda" Guy said

"It was my pleasure, and why would I miss an opportunity to take pictures of Alice in all those lovely costumes?" Linda said

"Speaking of costumes, this is for you Alice" Guy said, giving me a box tied with ribbon.

"What's this?" I asked

"Julie said you loved the costumes so much so we thought that we'd let you keep them. Think of it as an early Christmas present from both of us" Guy said

"Mommy gets to keep the pretty dresses?" Ethel asked in excitement. She really loved the dresses. She said they made me look like a princess.

"Yes she does! Oh, and happy early birthday" Guy said

"Thank you" Ethel said. Guy smiled.

"Take care of yourself and make sure you take care of your sisters as well" Guy said.

"I will" Ethel said.

"Well, I don't think I should keep you any longer. I'm sure you'd all like to get home" Guy said.

"No. I really miss home" I said

Our flight was long but it was worth it to set foot in London again after being away for two months. Once Paul and I gathered our luggage, gathered the girls luggage, made sure that Flower was safe after being in her carrier for a few hours, and that Martha hadn't run away on us, Paul called us a cab to take us home. I honestly couldn't wait.

We were all seated in the cab. Paul and I each sat by the window. Ethel wanted to sit on Paul's lap so she did. I was holding onto Stella while Mary sat in between Paul and I. Martha was on the floor while Flower was cuddled into her.

"How does it feel to be back in London Mr. and Mrs.McCartney?" the driver asked

"It's lovely" I said. I noticed that he had drove past our house.

"Excuse me but you passed our house" I said

"Actually, we're not going home yet" Paul said

"What do you mean?" I asked

"While we were still in Louisiana, I called George and Pattie. They want us to stay with them through Christmas" Paul said

"That sounds lovely. Is it just going to be us and them?" I asked

"No. Ringo and Mo are going to be there along with Zak, Jason and Lee. Cynthia and her husband are going to be there along with Julian. Jane, Gerald, Carrie, Peter, Ethan and Francie will be there. Oh, Helen and Denny too" Paul said

"The whole second family! Is that all?" I asked

"That's all I can remember. Wait! They invited Laura, Arthur and Walter as well" Paul said

"Yay, my crazy sister" I said

"But you love her" Paul said

"Yes I do. Anyone else while your trying to remember?" I asked

"I know they definitely invited Linda, Joseph and the kids. There's one more group of friends they invited but I'm supposed to keep that one secret from you" Paul said

"Can you give me a hint?" I asked

"They're friends we haven't seen in a long while. I know Ethel will be excited to see them" Paul said. I smiled to myself.

"I think I know who you're talking about" I said. I was silent for a moment until an idea popped into my head.

"Is there going to be enough room for all of us?" I asked

"I'm sure they thought out living arrangements before they invited everyone" Paul said. I then thought back to the last time we were at George and Pattie's house.

"Do you remember New Year's Eve when we....you know...on their bed?" I asked. Paul looked at me with a smirk on his face.

"I do. Maybe we can do it again this year" Paul said, adding a wink.

"Do what?" Ethel asked

"We played a bunch of games. Daddy was feeling really upset so I thought playing games would make him feel better" I said

"And it did" Paul added

"Who won?" Ethel asked. Paul and I looked at each other with a smirk.

"It was a tie" Paul said. The can suddenly came to a stop and I realized we were at the house.

"Ethel, why don't you go knock on the door and let Uncle George and Aunt Pattie know we're here?" Paul asked, opening the door. Ethel nodded and she hopped out. As she dashed to the front door, Paul got out and got our bags. I got out of the car, still holding onto Stella.

"Come on Mary. Mommy will help you out" I said. I held out my hand for her and she took it. I helped her out of the car.

"Martha! Flower! We're here!" I said. Martha quickly jumped out and Flower followed her. I swear anything that dog did, that cat followed suit.

"There's more of my favourite girls!" I heard Pattie. I looked up and noticed she was walking towards Stella, Mary and I. She was hand in hand with Ethel. Pattie and Paul flashed a smile at each other a smile as he walked past her with our bags.

"It's good to see you girls again. I understand you just came from filming a movie Alice" Pattie said

"I did" I said

"Well you have to tell me all about it, but later. I made my girls some treats and they're waiting inside, ready to be eaten" Pattie said.

"Mommy, can I walk with Auntie Pattie?" Mary asked me.

"Of course you can" I said. Mary let go of my hand and she grabbed Pattie's free hand. Pattie then led us to the house. This year is going to be a great holiday.
