1 A Little Tale of...Four Beatles

Chapter 5

I carried John to his bed. Paul was asleep in the next, then George too. Ringo was playing quietly by his bed.

"Hello Ringo." I knelt down beside him. He looked up and smiled, which immediately turned into a yawn. I laughed silently and picked him up, then put him in his bed.

"Night Ringo." I whispered and pulled the cover's over him.

"Night." He said before falling asleep.

They were adorable, all sleeping there. I went to get some more sleep in my room.

------------

I woke up, it was about 6:30 but one of the boys was crying inside their room so i got up. Lana came out at the same time. We both went in, Paul was crying and John was sitting up in bed trying to stop Paul's crying. I picked Paul up and he quieted down after a while. 

"Marin." Lana said from behind me.

"What?" I went over to her. She was leaning over George's bed feeling his head.

"George is steaming hot!"

I felt his head and took my hand away. "He does have a fever. Lets let him sleep. John do you want to get up?"

John looked up and nodded quickly. He grabbed onto my free arm and I hoisted him down. He ran out of the room. I walked out and shut the door, Lana went to the kitchen to start breakfast. It was a saturday. I put Paul in a chair and then helped Lana. 

I put a plate in front of John and Paul and Lana put plates for us. John at his quickly, and asked to play the game station.

"Turn the volume down then." I told him.

"How do i do that?" He asked.

"Um, one minute." I got up and walked to the room with him. I turned the telly on and turned down the volume. Then John began to play, Paul wanted to play as well.

"You all better not fight this time." I told them. They both looked at me then at each other then back at me and nodded in unison. 

Crying fromt he boy's room was heard again. Lana went to check and came out with George. 

"He has a bad fever." Lana looked at me.

"Give him some medicine."

"Where do you hurt George?" Lana asked. George looked at her with tears in his eyes and put his hand on his stomach. 

"Oh, he might have the flu."

"This isn't good."

"We need to take him to the doctor." I told her.

"Ill do that and you can stay here." Lana said and grabbed her keys.

"Um, you're going to have to wait till they're open."

Lana sighed. "They should be open."

"Just give George some medicine and something to drink. And an ice pack for his head.

"Alright."

"John, what are you doing?" I asked looking strangely at John, who was jumping around. More like dancing.

"I, um, need to go."

"Then go."

"But Paul will kill us!"

"Just go to the toilet. You can pause it!" 

John paused it and ran to the bathroom then came back in no time.

I looked at my watch and it was already 8. Ringo and John were playing and i was entertaining Paul. Lana was holding George.

"My how time flies."

"Yeah." Lana nodded.

"You can take him to the doctor now."

"Ill do that." She said and grabbed the keys. "We're going to the doctor, George."

George put his head on her shoulder and frowned. Tears still coming out. The minute Lana opened the door a voice shouted 'surprise!' and Lana let out a shriek. Making George cry more.

"Mum." I heard Lana gasp. I looked up and saw them in the door way.

"Lana, what is this?" She asked.

"Um, my cousins. Im watching them and needed some help." I smiled.

"4 boys is a lot to handle. Why doesn't your mum do it?"

"Um...because their busy."

"Mummy I-" 

I covered John's mouth before he could say anything. One world had already gotten out.

"Did he just call you mummy?"

"Um, he does that. Isn't he the sweetest boy?" I hugged him, John struggled in the hug. Paul reached his hands out and smiled.

Lana's mum nodded and looked at me strangely.

"Marin has a weird family." Lana said casually. "The little ones are always known as mummy."

"Oh. Well we just wanted to tell you we'll be here in the hotel, visiting." She smiled and looked at her husband.

"Oh, thats nice." Lana said and moved George into her other arm.

"Where are you taking this little one?" Lana's mum asked.

"He's got the flu, and im doing this for Marin. She's been working really hard."

"Well you best be going. We'll walk out with you."

Once they left i sighed then looked at Paul who was pouting. "Whats wrong with you?"

"I wan a hug." He whined.

"Oh well then, okay." I smiled and grabbed him then hugged him and swung him in the hair. He laughed and screamed. 

"I want to do it! I Want to do it!" John jumped around.

"Alright, but i wont be able to do it after you."

Just as i grabbed John another knock came on the door. I got up and looked through our peek hole. It was Dennie. 

"Hey, Den!" I smiled and waved. He smiled back.

"Hello!"

"Come in?"

"Sure. thanks." He smiled.

John ran into him playfully. He lifted John up and threw him on the couch, then began to tickle him. Good thing he went to the bathroom when he did, he was laughing so hard.

"Dennie, just be gentle with him."

"Why? He likes it."

"Yeah but you got to understand kids, they think they can do it when its really to much."

"What ever."

"Can we go to the fair!" John asked bouncing on the couch.

"Stop bouncing on the couch John." I said. He sat down quickly and looked up at Dennie with pleading eyes.

"Well, maybe..."

"Please!" Ringo came up now. Paul got up but i grabbed him.

"Boys stop, he will when he wants to. He's not your free ticket to everywhere."

"You never take us anywhere." John pouted.

"Yes i do."

"No."

"She does, I've just been around when she's done it. Blackpool, Marin?" He looked at me.

I sighed and looked at Paul who was giving me his sad puppy dog eyes. "Yes sure! But George has the flu."

"He does?"

"Yeah. Ill call Lana and tell her."

"Okay." 

I called Lana and she said it was fine. She would stay with George. So we left for Blackpool.
