Catchin' feelings - Roger Taylor

Chapter 12

*August 1976*

Roger's PoV

I tightened the grip I had of Louise's hand and she went in for a final push. Tears fell from her eyes. It hurt to see her in such a pain, but she was strong and did it magnificaly. The baby gave out a shriek and the nurse held it up. “It's a girl.” She wrapped her in a blanket and handed her over to Louise. The moment I saw her perfect face I felt an instant love. It was stronger than everything I've ever felt, and suddenly I started to get what Stevie Wonder ment in his new song that was released only a couple of days ago. It was a special relation. “She's perfect.” I whispered to Louise. “I know.” She had dark hair like her mom, but her eyes were blue like mine. Her skin was red and her head a little bit pointy. “Have you decided on a name?” the nurse asked. I glanced at Louise. “Lucy?” I questioned. “Lucy.” she confirmed and gave me a kiss.

Louise's PoV

I opened the door to the café, it looked like it always had. “Hi!” Ava said and hugged me. “Long time no see! I've missed you Ava.”  Uninterested of me, Ava went in to check on Lucy in the stroller. “She's Lovely! Nice shirt she has!” It was a shirt of The Beatles Roger and I bought a time ago, it was still very big but extremely cute.

We seated us in a corner of the café with a cup of coffee each and talked for a while. “Are you excited for the tour?” Ava asked. “Nah, I'm looking forward to see Japan but not to meet Brian.” “Yeah, I understand that. But the new album is amazing! That guy John seems very nice, only as a friend I mean!” Ava blushed a bit. “He is! You should come by and see him sometime! ” Ava smiled from ear to ear, I couldn't tell her he was married already. “When are you going?” I looked out the window. “After this! He'd be here in any minute actually!” 

Five minutes later Roger's car pulled up outside. He wore sunglasses, he thought it made him even more cool. The truth was that it made him look a little bit weird when it was rain, but I didn't tell him that. He kissed me, hugged Ava and said hi to Lucy that was asleep. 

We started our way to the airport. The radio was on and suddenly 'Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy' started playing. “You guys is literally everywhere these days!” I chuckled. “Isn't that a good thing?!” Roger said cocky, and tried to sound as offended as possible but I could see through that. I sang along to the well-known song and stomped my feet to the beat. 

Japan was amazing, the architecture was amazing and the band were even more popular here than home in England. Young girls and boys stopped and asked for autographs and pictures. Some of them asked me and Mary to be in too but most of them didn't. Brian didn't spend a lot of time together with us others, he had taken his new girlfriend Chrissie along. With the thought of Brian liking Roger, it was weird to see him together with her. That meant Deaky was the only one that traveled alone, but he didn't seemed so sad about it, Veronica was at home. All of us, accept Lucy of course, tried sushi for the first time and I actually thought it was disgusting. Fred and John agreed with me but Mary, Roger, Brian and Chrissie enjoyed it. 

The last day of the tour, Mary had promised to take Lucy so Roger and I could have some time alone. 

“Why don't you come here and taste what my dad made to eat a while ago?” I said, and tried not to laugh.  “What did he make?” “Me.” I laughed hysterically, I always laughed at my own jokes, but Roger neared me, all serious. He sat down on the bed and I sat myself in his lap. I took his head in my hands, with his hair messy as always and pressed my lips onto his. He put a hand on my waist and the other on my tight, slightly squeezing it. I started to get horny and I felt him, literally felt, getting it too. I started to take my shirt of and he did the same. Feeling his bare breast against mine made me feel safe and sparkles filled my whole body. I started to kiss his shoulder but he made me stop. “I'm just going to the bathroom.” he said and left. I was tired, my whole body felt numb because of the fact that Lucy had kept me up all night so I laid myself down on the sheets, and tried to rest just for a moment.

I woke up from a nightmare a couple of hours later in his arms. “What happened?” I asked. “Nothing, you fell asleep but that was it.” For a moment everything was quiet until I decided to say something. “I want to get married Roger, now, as soon as possible! Why do we have to wait so bloody long?” He waited and looked out over the room before he answered “I guess we have a wedding to plan. ” he whispered and I pecked him on the cheek, I couldn't do anything but smiling. 

Mary clapped her hands in excitement. “I can't belive it! My little sister is going to have a wedding!” “Stop it! Not that loud!” She giggled and then shouted “MY SISTER LOUISE AUSTIN IS GOING TO HAVE A WEDDING!” I blushed. What the fuck Mary? Freddie ran to us with a smile from ear to ear. The whole hotel had heard her. Roger gave out an awkward wave, Deaky came and hugged me and Brian stood and looked down at the floor together with Chrissie. Lucy smiled, and that was all that mattered to me.
