Till There Was You (George Harrison Story)

Chapter 102

As we took Zuri to school, George continued to tell her how he met "Uncle Paul" at school too. And by the time she got to school, she didn't seem so scared anymore.

At least not until we got inside. George, Danny and I took her to her classroom, and her teacher smiled. "Hi, Zuri! I'm your new teacher, Ms. Franklin!" Her lips began to quiver as she held onto my leg and hid behind me, peeking her head out a little and looking at her teacher. "It's okay, Zo. Ms. Franklin will be with ye for the rest of the day, and when school is over, We will be right here waiting to pick ye up, Alright?"

She shook her head and George pulled her into a hug. "Will ye please go with Ms. Franklin? For me, love?" He pleaded with her and she hugged her baba, then she hugged me tightly. "O-Okay." Tears began to roll down her cheeks as her sniffles began to get louder.

I could tell that George was hurting as he watched his daughter cry as she followed her teacher in. "Wait, Zuri!" He called out to her, and she turned toward us. He walked over to her and placed a small locket on her neck. "Just in case ye start to miss me." He had a matching one in his hand, and we both kissed her forehead and she went back into class feeling a bit better.

"What's in the locket?" I asked him, and he opened the one he had in his hand. It was a family picture of the four of us. George was kissing Zuri's forehead, and she was smiling. I was smiling at George and holding Danny as he looked at his sister with a small smile on his face.

The picture made me smile and I held George's hand as you both made your way back to the car and went back home, before George had to go to the studio.

When it was time to get Zuri from school, the three of us rushed to the car so we wouldn't be late. "I can't to see how Zo is doin." He said with a huge smile on his face. "Me either. I hope she's okay." I bit my lip nervously. Once we got there, George walked behind me and Danny as we made our way into the school. And right on on time, because the bell rang and the kids came out from class, and we stood with the other parents that were waiting for their kids.

"Baba! Mommy! Danny!" I heard Zuri's voice as she ran towards us and hugged us tightly. "I want to show you what I made in class today!" George and I held her hands as we took her to the car. "Bye Zuri!" A little girl called out, which caught our attention. I followed the voice to the small, brunette girl with pink bows and she waved at Zuri. "Bye, Sarah!" She replied to the girl and George helped her into her car seat.

"Did you have fun today?" I asked as George drove. "Yeah, I had fun! Baba's necklace made me feel good." George smiled, and Zuri talked about her day, and it made us smile. I knew we wouldn't have to worry about Zuri not wanting to go to school again. At least not for now.

When we got home, Zuri ran into the house and pulled her backpack off of her shoulders. Cleo immediately ran up to her and gave her a few kisses. She must've really missed Zuri. After Cleo's kisses, Zuri opened her bag and pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to George, sitting in his lap and I sat next to them.

It was a drawing. There was a tall, skinny stick figure with long hair and a beard with the title "Baba" over it, with the first "a" written backwards. Next to him, there was a small girl with a cute triangular dress, with "Zuri" spelled out.

The next two were the same. A head and a tiny body sat next to her on the floor with "Daniel" spelled out on top. Then there was the taller, thick haired girl labeled as "Mommy". But there were three other figures next to us. Another tall guy and 2 girl figure.

As I tried to recognize the spelling, I couldn't since her handwriting wasn't there yet.

"Who's that?" I asked, pouting to it.

"Uncle Adam, Auntie Pattie and Jordan." She said, looking at her work proudly. She's such a sweetheart.

"It looks amazing! Let's hand it up in baba's office, yeah?" He took her work and headed to the office space, and placed it in an empty picture frame and hung it up on the wall. I followed them with Danny in my arms as we admired her work.

"Sarah helped me with it, too!" She said, smiling at her father, who was beaming with pride.

"The two of ye did a really great job." George kissed her forehead as he took her outside and she helped him with the gardening.

Danny, Cleo and I joined them outside, even though Danny had his own plans and wandered around the estate, so I stayed close with him.

After 2 hours, we went back in and we all got ready for bed. But instead of just sending everyone off to bed, The four of us sat on the couch (even though Danny fell asleep at his bedtime) and watched a little tv in our pajamas, until Zuri fell asleep as well and we put them to bed.

George carries Zuri and I had Danny. I put Danny down in his bed and went to George in Zuri's room. He was turning on her nightlight and leaving the room.

"I'm really proud of her, Y'know." He said, closing her door, before we went to our room. "I know you are. I am too." We got into bed, resting in each other's arms.

"Thank ye." George whispered in my ear.

"What? Why are you thanking me?"

"For giving me life meanin'. For giving me such a beautiful family. Ye and the kids make me appreciate life more. I can't even express how much I love ye three."

"Well we made our little family together. But I definitely feel the same about you and the kids." I looked at him, and his smile was wide as he looked towards me as well and placed a loving kiss on my lips, and I kissed him back.

"I love ye so much..." He sat up, and crawled on top of me as he continued to kiss me.
