Chapter 11: An Unexpected Revelation

"We're Sergeant Pepper's Lone-ly Heart's Club Band!  We hope you will en-joy the show!  Sergeant Pepper's Lone-ly heart's club band!  Sit back an let the e-vening go!  Sergeant Pepper's Lone-ly____Sergeant Pepper's Lone-ly____Sergeant Pepper's Lone-ly heart's Club Band..."

   It  had been weeks after catching the bombers.  The four Sgt Pepper men had whole concert for London and everyone enjoyed the music more then ever.  Dressed in their normal, colorful uniforms, and singing the new songs they wrote up.  It was a time of joy and proud-ness with the band.  Though for Jo Jo Phillips was not expecting something shocking from Sadie that he'll have to believe.  

  The four men went back to there flat and Music studio in London.  And it was around the late afternoon as they were talking about the concert, catching the bombers, and the Rose Angels.  They went into the flat altogether and settled in for the day and also the night.  As Jo Jo was setting down his guitar case, he heard Carl had immediately started to cook something on the stove for Dinner.  Which, was nice.  Usually, Carl Esquire would always be the one cooking meals.

  Billy Shears played a tune on his piano casually practicing on his own, while Henry Robeson was sitting on the couch reading a book.  Jo Jo sighed to himself thinking about the Rose Angels and how beautiful they are.  The one he loved most was Sadie, and he longed to see her again, her dark brown hair and eyes.  And as if by cue, there was a sudden rapid knocking at the door.  Phillips turns as his thoughts were interrupted.  He goes and answers the door.

  To his surprise, it was Sadie who looked excited and scared at the same time.  She seemed slightly sick looking, but then she held his hands and says,

"Jo Jo, I-I need to tell you something!  I dunno how I can tell you this but, I'm afraid you might not like it.  And I feel it's my fault a____."

"Hey, Hey, calm down, just take a deep breath Sadie.  What is this all about?" Jo Jo said gently in a tranquil voice.

"Please---this is something I'm afraid to tell you." She said squeezing his hands.  Phillips nods his head slowly,

"Then tell me.  An don't be afraid, remember that luv."

She smiled a tiny bit, then she took a deep breath and told him straight,

"---I, am pregnant."  

  There was silence between them.  An awkward long silence.  Jo Jo looked behind him but realized the door was closed into the flat.  His lads didn't hear the conversation.  He looked back into Sadie's dark eyes.  At first she looked scared, but then finally Jo Jo spoke with a stutter,

"I----I er---I'm so sorry.  This...this has to be my fault____ I___?"

She cupped his face, he stopped talking gazing into her eyes once again.  She smiled,

"No.  It's not your fault Jo Jo.  This is our child, and we couldn't possibly let it go.  We were destined for this moment.  Because, I love you more then anything in the world..."

"Is that so?" he asked slowly.

"Yes." she giggled with a smile.  

The two of them kissed giggling with joy, they had arms around eachother, as she stood on his feet, he swayed affectionate and lovingly.  He then looked to her,

"What am I suppose to tell me' lads?"

"Whatever you want dear." Sadie shrugged with a smirk.

"Cheeky.  I never knew you never had a care about anything I say." Jo Jo said sarcastically.

"Oh stop ha ha!" She laughed rolling her eyes.

They stopped talking for a while still swaying.  Then something came into Sadie's mind and she said,

"Y'know, I also forgot to thank you, for everything you've done to save me.  The shooter trying to kill me, and the man pushing me over the wall.  I was so grateful for you to be there when I was alone.  It's just, the first time I laid eyes on you, you were...I guess I should say attractive ha ha.  But, other then that, I just sort of fell in love, that you were the one for me."

Jo Jo grinned with his mustache, his glasses glimmering along with his dark brown eyes.  He replied to her,

"I liked you as well when we first met, but I broke out of my shell and just had to tell you how I felt.  I would never let you die, and if we were to die, we'd do it together for our love.  Nothing will ever harm you. Nothing at all."  

Soon they stopped swaying and they looked at eachother happy.  However, there was a sharp pain that came from Sadie's abdomen, 

"Ow....ugh, I'm feeling quite not all right.... ugh___."

She leaned a little and Jo Jo caught her frightened,

"You need to get home and rest Sadie.  If your... I-I mean, I guess WE are having a baby, I suggest you at least to go home and drink some tea luv."  

"Please....stay with me...." she looked too him desperately.  He held her hand caring and gentle,

"Always..."

  Jo Jo Phillips helped Sadie get home to her flat with a taxi cab.  He then afterwards, walked helped her walk into her flat.  She laid in bed in pain and sick.  Jo Jo went into the kitchen and made some tea for her that would make her feel better.  As he was doing it so, he kept thinking about the child.  HIS CHILD.  It was hard for him to believe.

  He never left her bedside, because of how sick and and in pain she was.  Although she also saw that it was beautiful, and she had a vision of there future.  Jo Jo didn't mind it at all, and he actually liked listening to her beautiful voice.  He nodded his head and says,

"So, your saying that  if we were to die.  Billy Shears would be his...or her godfather?"

Sadie nodded her head, "I trust your friends, and no one else."

"Well that is a funny thought.  But, funny thoughts are wonderful.  And I'm glad you trust them."  He said entwining his fingers with her's kindly...
