Chapter 3

The McCartney estate, April 21st, 1964, 11:02 a.m.

"So, what do you think?" Paul asked Melody while handing her a cup of tea, after showing her the house.

"I love it!" Melody exclaimed while taking the cup. Paul smiled and took a sip of his own tea. Melody looked around a bit confused.

"Isn't it a bit big for only one person though?"

"Yes, but my Dad, step-Mum, step-sister, an younger brother live here too." Paul explained.

"Oh, that makes sense," She took a sip. "why haven't I met them yet?"

"They're out somewhere, but they'll be home later tonight." Paul smiled.

"Alright!" Melody smiled as she finished her tea.

"I'm back!!" They heard John's voice coming from the main hall followed by the door slamming. They rushed over to great him.

"How'd it go?" Paul asked.

"Brian said as long as the press dosn't find out, she can stay!" John exclaimed.

"Great!" Paul smiled.

"Very." John replied.

"Where are George and Ringo?" Melody asked.

"They're.........y'know I've not the slightest clue. They're probably still talking to Brian." John said thoughtfully.

"Alright....... Who's Brian?" Melody responded.

"He's our manager." Paul said.

"I do't know him." She said.

"Of course you don't, we haven't introduced you yet." John pointed out.

"Good point." Melody replied with a smile.

"I know it is." John said conceitedly.

"Don't tell me you've picked up on that doctor's conceit, I didn't think your head could get any bigger!" Paul said in fake surprisement.

"What have we here?" They jumped from the sound of Paul's step-mom, Angela's voice, they haddn't heard her come in. Melody instinctively jumped behind Paul and hid, not knowing who the strange lady was.

"Hey, mum!" Paul said enthusiastically.

"Hey, George was right Paul, your mom is hot!" John observed. Paul punched him in the arm and gave him a 'I told you not to say anything about that' look, John just ignored him. Angela, wanting very much to change the subject, terned her attention to Melody, observing her shoulder length almost black, slightly wavy hair, her chocolate brown eyes, and her charming smile. Looks a bit like Paul she thought.

"Paul, who's your younger look-alike?" Angela asked. Paul looked down to where Melody was standing beside him holding onto the sleeve of his shirt.

"Oh, I completely forgot, thanks to John...." He shot a pretending to be mad look at him.

"You're welcome mate!" John said happily.

"Anyway," Paul said turning back to Melody. "Mum, this is Melody. Melody, this is my step-mum Angela, but you can call her 'Mum' if you'd like." He said with a smile. Melody waved shyly without saying anything, Angela just smiled.

"She's right y'know, you two do look awfully similar, she could even be your daughter!" John said after observing the two and thinking about what Angela had said. Paul looked at John and then at Melody.

"Hm, I never thought of that, but I can tell you she's not mine." Paul said defensively.

"Relax son, no one said she was." John said with a laugh.
