Till There Was You (George Harrison Story)

Chapter 43

"Pleas calm down, Zo." He said to Zuri, who was crying in her new car seat. After all the testing Zuri and I had to endure, we were cleared to go home. George stroked her cheek softly and sighed.

Zuri stopped when George rubbed her cheek and looked at him. "She loves you." I smiled as I double checked to make sure I had everything, then sat in the wheelchair.

I had to stay off my legs for a while even though my legs were strong enough to walk. The doctor rolled the wheelchair I was in and followed George, who was carrying Zuri's car seat. We thanked the doctor, who left with the wheelchair and I got into the backseat and helped Geo with the car seat. When he finished, he got into the driver's seat and drove home.

Zuri has slept the whole ride, which made the trip back home a lot easier.

When we got home, we walked into the house and everyone stood around us. "Welcome back!" They all said softly when they saw the baby car seat in George's hand. We were shocked because we weren't expecting any of this, but it made me grateful for my friends and family.

George took Zuri to our bedroom and placed her in her bassinet as she continued to sleep. George smiled in awe at her, then headed back to our friends and family in the house.

"Hey! How are you?" Mimi said as she walked into the room quietly and sat next to me on the chair in the room. "I'm feeling better. I just have to stay off my legs as much as possible for a little while." She nodded as she understood what I was saying and looked at Zuri.

"She's adorable!" Mimi said, watching her adoringly. "Now I want one! I have to talk to Freddie about that." She said and I laughed softly. "Good luck with that. But if you want to hold her, go wash your hands and come back."

She laughed softly and headed to our bathroom and washed her hands and came back. I placed a blanket in her arms, then picked up Zuri and placed her in Mimi's arms.

"She's so tiny! I feel like she could just slip through my fingers!" She said in a hushed tone, and I looked at her with worry on my face. "I'm not going to drop her, I promise." She giggled and told me, and I breathed out in relief.

George came back into the room and gave me and Mimi food. "I thought ye'd both be hungry, so I got you something to eat." I took our plates of food and I ate mine, and placed Mimi's on the table. "Thanks, George." We both told him, and he walked out.

Two hours had passed, and everyone began to go home. Zuri was back in her bassinet and Mimi had eaten and fell asleep. I had gotten a quick nap, but woke up when Mimi did. "I have to go, but I'll call soon!" Mimi said her goodbyes and left.

I got up and slowly made my way to George, who was cleaning whatever was left to clean, since the others did most of the cleaning. "Hey! Go back to bed! You're supposed to be resting!" He said, as he pointed to the direction of the bedroom. "I know, but I wanted to come check up on you." I grabbed his face and kissed him, and he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed back.

"Well I'm fine, so you can now go back to bed." Cleo began to whimper, since she was in her cage because a lot of people were there. George let her out and she ran to us and happily greeted us. She sure did miss us.
"Cleo, take mommy back to bed, alright?" I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Fine. Come on, Cleo." I said, and Cleo followed me as I made my way back to the room.

Zuri woke up again, and began to cry, but I was already next to her, so I changed her diaper and fed her. I began to slowly rock her back to sleep, but she was fascinated by Cleo, and Cleo was fascinated by her too. Cleo sniffed her and laid down on my lap, next to the baby. Seeing that made me want to cry at how cute it was.

Night time was soon upon us, so I put Zuri to bed and George and I got ready for bed too. Cleo went to her bed, and we all were pretty excited for our first night sleeping as a family. We were enjoying it until 3 am came, and Zuri decided to wake everyone up with loud cries because she was hungry.

George grumbled as he sat up and I moaned in an irritated way. I rubbed my eyes and picked her up. "What's wrong, love?" I asked her, and I changed her diaper again. I placed her back into bed and we tried to go back to sleep, but then about an hour later, she woke up once again for food. George woke me up and I groaned. "I love her, but this is going to take some getting used to." I said to George, who was practically half asleep already.

I picked her up and fed her, and rocked her to sleep, until she closed her eyes and slept. By the time she did that, the sun was rising. I groaned and tried to go back to sleep, but it took me longer than it should've. Little did I know, Zuri was going to mess with our sleep schedule.

George woke up a few hours later so he could head to the studio. He woke up so tired and groggy, and had to drag himself to the bathroom. I would've gone to make him breakfast, but I had so little energy that I couldn't even bother to get up.

I was so looking forward to the rest of the day...
