new arrival

welcome home Hollie

Cynthia was allowed home the following day with little Hollie as they were both fine and eager to leave. John had arranged a surprise welcome home party for Hollie and there was going to be alot of people there.

John excitedly lead Cynthia to their front door 

" why are you so excited you would swear you never saw your own home before" she giggled looking down at the tiny baby in her arms

" well its the first time we will be home with Hollie and im excited" 

" your so sentimental John"

" don't tell anyone that i don't want to lose my hard man image" he winked

Cynthia walked into their house and into the living room

" India we are home"

suddenly a bunch of people jumped up from behind curtains from behind the sofa are shouting welcome home 

" oh my god you's all nearly gave me a heart attack. what are you's all doing here?"

"well baby i organized a welcome home party for Hollie" John whispered in her ear kinda embarrassed and not wanting everyone to see how sweet he could be.

Cynthia spent a long time walking around everyone allowing them all to see the new arrival and feeling as proud as punch

" hey dot where is India i haven't seen her since we got home" John asked Dot while scanning the room looking for her

"well she is in the middle of a tantrum she saw all these people coming into the house and she was happy and excited until she heard the party was for Hollie and she ran upstairs in tears and Paul is with her now trying to calm her down"

" what are we going to do with her i thought all this would end once she turned three and not in the terrible two stage but its just getting worse lately"

John turned away not giving Dot a chance to answer him and he went upstairs and stood outside India's room listening to her and Paul

" come on Indie don't you want to come down and see your sister"

" no i have already seen her and i don't like her"

" why don't you like her" Paul quizzed

"because she is a thief"

" what did she steal?" he asked confused at what a baby could steal

" she stole mummy and daddy" she answered wiping her tears with the back of her hand

" why do you think she has stole them for"

" because lately all they talk about is her how cute she is how small she is who she looks like she made me miss meeting Minnie Mouse and i know she will steal Uncle Geo and uncle Rings from me because everyone just loves her and when you meet her you will love her and then i will have no one" 

"aw hunny it's because she is new everyone is excited to meet her and just because people want to meet her does not mean they don't want to see you no more. you want to know a secret"

" yeah i do what is it"

" your Uncle George wants a cuddle from your teddy bear he has done nothing but talk about that bear for ages now and he is starting to annoy us with all his bear talk so will you come with me and let him get a cuddle from you and the bear it will make him happy"

" ok uncle Paulie he can hug bear"

Paul grabs hold of india's hand and she takes a hold of her teddy's paw and they leave the room bumping into John

" there you are princess i was looking everywhere for you"

" no you were not you were with her as always anyway i have to see Georgie in case he crys from missing my bear

George was sitting on a chair talking to Brian Epstein when India came running towards him

" georgie Georgie" she yelled while running towards him

" aww there you are"

" uncle Paulie told me about you missing my bear and how you want a cuddle and i brought him down to see you"

George looked over at Paul confused at what was going on

" just play along it was the only way i could get her to leave the room" Paul mouthed at George hoping he could lip read

"you have no idea how much a missed your teddy bear "

" well here you can hug him i allow you we can share him now if you want he likes you he says your funny"

" aww thank you luv" he said taking the bear and cuddling it making the girls in the room all awwww at the sight

' you know there is one thing id like to hug more than the bear"

" uncle Rings" she said laughing

" hey leave me out of it im tired of george hugging me while calling me teddy" Ringo shouted over to India making her squeal with laughter

" nope its not Ringo"

" its Hollie i know" she said looking down 

" nope its not Hollie"

"then who is it"

" it's you i like hugging you more than anyone in the whole wide world"

" you like hugging me more than Pattie" she said laughing

" yes sorry Pattie" he said looking over at his laughing wife

India jumped on his knee and started to hug him tight

" i love hugging you to Georgie'

The party was going well but John was starting to get annoyed at how much time India was spending with Paul and George  

" just look at her playing with them two she has not came near me once all day" John said to Cynthia the moment she stood beside him

" well she is enjoying the attention she gets from them"

" i know but i wish she would come to me to play like she used to now she seems to hate me"

' she does not hate you she is sulking because she can't have all off your attention we knew this would happen she will learn and accept with time that she has to share"

" i know but it's hard especially when i don't want to share her. i loved her being a daddy's girl and how much of a bond we shared"

" you's still have that bond once she stops her tantrums and sulking she will come round and be daddy's little again just give it time john"

" i got a bad feeling i have lost her Cyn"
