I wouldn't change a thing (McLennon)

(A/N: Is it weird that I'm listening to John Lennon's version of Stand By Me while writing this chapter?)

****6 months later****

it had been 7 months since the accident and John was doing a lot better. he wasn't allowed to come home for Christmas witch sucked. and he finally talked me into quieting my job. my students were really sad about that but I promised them I would come in and visit.

that day was the day when John would be walking for the first time in 7 months. George and Ringo (manly for babysitting perposes), Mimi and the kids and my dad and new step mum Angie were there all there to see it happen. Johns Father and step Mum Pauline were arriving later that day to see John.

though I was so happy that the day had finally arrived the words of the nurse on the day of the accident kept floating around in my head 'Mr. Lennon is going to be using crutches for the rest of his life'.

"ok Mr. McCartney do you think you would mind helping Mr. Lennon to his feet?" the physical therapist Sue asked. "yeah" I replied. "ok Mr. McCartney first I'll need you to sit on the edge of your wheelchair, then Mr. McCartney wrap the straps of the crutches around Mr. Lennon's four-arm" she explained. "Ok. Good. Now Mr. McCartney hold onto his elbows and lightly help him up. Mr. Lennon put your right crutch in front of the left one when you get to your feet" she added. I did exactly what she said and I was almost crying. So was Mimi and Angie. George was also filming it.

Once I got him standing it took a few minutes but then he took a step and a tear ran down my face then and other Mimi started crying. And then other one and I was crying. And by the Seventh one John was crying.

After all of that was done John was allowed to finally go home. We decided not to move because we already had an elevator (A shitty one) because of a previous back injury John had. We also decided to walk home since we only lived a few blocks away and John needed to practice walking.

"I can't believe im walking" John said dumbfounded. "I now love. This is only the beginning though. This is the first day of the rest of our lives" I sighed. "Im going to be hell of a lot more cousious now. The Dr. Said that now if I had the slightest back injury I can kiss walking goodbye" he explained. "I'll be tougher on the kids about picking up stuff then" I sighed.

When we got home Alfred and Pauline had already arrived. (The kids were spending the night at my dad's house). "Hey John how are you" Alfred asked "as good as I can I guess. Bianca asked about you the other day" john said. Pauline imedetly hugged John. "We were so worried" she said "thanks Ma" John Smiled "and how are you James?" She asked (since her name was Pauline and every one called my Paul when she was over I was James) "alright I guess still blaming myself for the accident though" I sighed. I really was still blaming myself, and even though I wasn't there when it happened I was tramitized horribly. "Aww. Don't blame yourself babe it wasn't your fault I slipped on a pair of James's boxer's and slid right down the fucking stairs" John laughed. Thats what I loved about him he could make a joke out of anything.

"So John how long are you going to be using the crutches?" Alfred asked when we were all sitting in the living room. "Forever. They said because of my past back injury that when I slid down the stairs it shattered my Pelvis and spine" John explained. "Actually the nurse told me that he's lucky thay it didn't end up worst" I added.
