This Boy (Ringo Starr Fanfic)

Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Secrets

*Amelia's POV*

"Another baby?" I said to Rich shocked to what I just heard him say.

"Well yeah. I mean I do want children." He said kinda low tone.

"But I'm sick." I said confused.

"I mean you're not on treatment so it wouldn't make you infertile and the cancer isn't in your reproductive system it's your lungs."

"Do you really think we should try?"

"I don't know but all I know is I do want to have a child with you." He grabbed my hand.

"What if it's another Rosemary?" I asked upset.

"We won't ever know will we?"

"I don't think I can lose 3 children." I said exhausted at the fact.

"John wants us all to come to his flat." George said barging in on Rich and I's conversation.

"I'll go get Paul and Jane." I said to George as I made my way further down the hall to where Paul got his own flat apart from George so they could share with there girlfriends, oh and privacy.

*knock knock*
"It's Amelia."

"It's open." I heard someone say.

I walked in and it was Jane reading a magazine on the couch.

"Where's Paul?"

"Bathroom." She said.

"Oh well John wants us all over to his apartment Cyn and Pattie are there now, if you don't mind I need to talk to Paul only for a minute."

She looked a little nervous but she gave in, smiled and walked out the door.

"Who was at the door?" I heard Paul say coming out of the bathroom looking around.

"Me." I said as he found me in the living room.

"Hey! Uh where's Jane?" He asked.

"At Johns, he has a special announcement for us all but I don't want to keep you too long or people will get the wrong idea."

"Okay so what's up?"

"Rich wants to have a child."

"Is this a bad thing?"

"I've lost two in a miscarriage and one precious baby girl. I don't think I could handle another loss."

"Maybe it was my bad gene. Maybe Rosemary was my fault." He said trying to cheer me up but we all know it was my bad gene. I mean clearly from my mums history-when she was alive- she had a lot of problem carrying children.

"So do you think we should try?"

"I think a healthy baby will be worth it in the end." He smiled. "Now let's get to John's." He opened the door as we headed down the hall and into John's open flat.

"It's about time!" John yelled.

"Hope you didn't start without us." I smiled at John.

"Nope." He smiled back.

Everyone was sitting in his living room. Jane and Paul sat on the big couch with Pattie and George and then me and Rich sat in the love seat while Cynthia and John stood up in front of us all and said

"Were getting married." Cynthia said in a low voice but still smiling heavy.

"And were pregnant." John said really excited as he kissed Cynthia on the cheek.
