Fixing a Hole (A Beatles Fanfic)

Mother Nature's Son

4 MONTHS LATER

Dear Rita,

John is still crazy over you, gosh. I've never seen the lad so crazy for a girl before. He's written you letters, but you know since he doesn't have your address he just is keeping them.

When are you and Ringo planning on getting married? I honestly think you shouldn't, not with John's broken heart here. But from the sounds of it, you sound like you love him...and John. Just, take time, Rita. Please.

Anyway, gear news! We know when we'll be returning home.

We'll be returning home on-

I suddenly felt a sharp pain, "Fuck!" I shouted.

Ringo ran into the room, "Rita?! Are you alright?" He said frantic.

"R-Ringo, I think the baby is coming.." I said, looking down at the puddle on my feet.

His blue eyes widened, "O-O-Oh,okay! Come on!" He helped me up.

I waddled down the stairs. 

Linda looked excited as did Elsie.

"Oh, the time has come! We'll meet you there in a few hours, dear!" Elsie said, as we left the front door.

"Push, Miss. Smith! Push!" The doctor shouted.

I screamed, pushing. Fuck this, this hurts, god damn it, ah! 

"One more!!!" The doctor shouted.

Ringo shouted, "Come on!!" He looked happy, while his bird over here is in pain.

"AHH!!" I screamed.

The doctor held on my baby.

"It's a boy!" He shouted.

Ringo looked at me, holding my hand. "A boy" He smiled.

Sweat was dripping from my head.

"Would you like to cut the cord, Mr. Starkey?" The nurse asked.

He looked at me, I nodded at him.

Ringo smiled with glee as he cut the baby's chord.

The child cried, as the nurse cleaned him up.

"You did it, Rita" Ringo said in disbelief.

I laughed, "It's not the first time.." I smiled, watching my baby being brought back.

The nurse gently handed me my baby boy.

He's so perfect... He has his father's dark hair, and my blue eyes.... He's just gorgeous. The only thing he has of me though is my eyes, other than that he's a spitting image of his daddy. John Lennon..

"What are you two going to name him?" A familiar voice said in the doorway.

Ringo and I snapped our heads up and saw Paul standing there.

I gasped, "Paul?! What are you doing here?" I smiled.

Paul chuckled, walking closer to us.

"I told you in the letter we were getting home today" He smiled, looking at the baby.

"Man... The lad looks just like his daddy.." He smiled.

"Oh, well.. I was starting to read your letter, then this little one decided it was time to come" I chuckled.

Paul smirked, "So, what's the lad's name?"

I looked at Ringo, then back at the boy.

"Charles Lennon.." I said.

Paul and Ringo smiled, looking at the boy.

"That's perfect" Paul said.

"You didn't tell John anything, did you?" I asked, worried.

He shook his head, "No. He knows nothing" He sighed.

"Even after a baby, you still look like the same gorgeous Rita we left.." Paul smirked.

I blushed, "I'm all gross though, I just went through 10 hours of birth"

Paul laughed, "Still" He winked at me, causing me to smirk.

Paul left the room, leaving Charles, Ringo and I there.

I turned to Ringo, "I love you" I smiled.

Ringo kissed my lips, "I love you too"

Ringo and I stared at Charles.

"And we love you too" Ringo and I said in unison, causing us to giggle.

I saw Linda standing there in excitement at the doorway with Elsie.

"Oh, can I see my grandchild?!" Elsie cheered.

I chuckled.

"Mum, he isn't your grandchild" Ringo said.

Elsie gasped, "A boy?! And I can still pretend, Ringo" She smirked.

Linda's fact grew bright, "A brother?! Mummy, I knew it!" She cheered.

"Yes, you were right" I chuckled.

"Mummy, he has Ringo's eyes" Linda said in awe.

I laughed, "He also has my eyes and your eyes" 

Ringo chuckled.

Linda looked up at me, "Mummy, how are babies made?" She asked innocently.

My eyes went wide open, as Ringo started laughing.

"Darling, that's an adult thing. You'll learn when you are older.." I told her sweetly.

Linda smiled, "Okay!"

"Oh, Rita! He's so beautiful, can I hold him?" Elsie asked.

I nodded, gently handing him to her.

She cooed over the baby, "Hi, baby" She looked up at me.

"What's his name?" She asked.

"Charles" I smiled, watching Charles smile.

"Oh!" Elsie looked back down at Charles.

"Hi, Charles! It's your grandmother!" She cooed.

Ringo groaned while I laughed.

I turned to Ringo, "Your mum is so adorable!" 

Ringo smirked, "Mhm..."
