The Beatles Article: Starting Over Part 16

"Yes, daddy George? What is it?", asked Laura as she and Pattie ran to check his awaited discovery. George then pointed his finger towards an old farm lot, and the nearby house had been inscribed with what appeared to be its former owner's signature. He said, "Ye see that place over there? That was where Grandpapa John (For those who are wondering, John French is the full name of George's maternal grandfather) used to live in before moving to Liverpool! Thank goodness it's still intact after all these years!" Pattie remarked, "Bless me! So it is! Really amazing how you have quite a family connection here, honey!" George replied, "Indeed, my love! This also means I have Irish blood running through me veins." Pattie said, "True!" Laura said, "Yep, yep! And thus, we learned yet another cool thing about my father!" George responded, "That's right, Laura, darling!" She winked in return. Pattie said, "Well, we better take photos of it!" George replied, "Exactly! I'll be sending them to my mum once they have been developed after we return." Pattie replied, "Great idea!" They then walked closer to the lot and captured about five photos, including a close-up of Mr. French's signature near the house door. Afterwards, the trio continued on with their beach walk. Laura said, "I meant to tell you that I found four shamrocks just a while ago! They're in my jacket pocket." George saw them and remarked, "Splendid, dear! That means you now have seven in total. Hey, it's me favorite number!" Laura replied, "Wow! Interesting." Pattie added, "Yeah! The luck of the Irish has certainly been with us in that case." George said, "Yes, it has, love." They took some more photos of the sea and the lighthouse during the rest of the afternoon before heading back up to meet with the others for dinner.

BingoPB That is cool. I also have some Irish blood.

RetroRock64 So do I.

Roldan13 I'm going to take a DNA test to see if I have any Irish blood.

RocknRollSoul60 I have some as well. A lot of people from Liverpool do.

Peaceandlove67 I know I said this before, but my maternal grandmother was half Irish.

80smusiclover1 That's right.

Rubyrings That's really cool. And it must have been a great moment for George, finding that piece of his past.

80smusiclover1 Yes, indeed.

That's a Wrap!

For the last day of their vacation, everyone decided to go to Pleasure Beach amusement park after checking-out of the hotel. While there, they also bought some more Blackpool Rock. They had an amazing time overall. Laura said, "This was such a fabulous road trip, daddy George! We should have another one next time." George replied, "You took the words right out of me mouth, Laura, darling! Yes, I'd love to do that too." John, Paul, and Ringo nodded in agreement. The group then had a smooth ride back to London and to their homes. On the following day, George and Laura went to have...

The Best Father Ever

Shortly after the fair had closed for the night, Laura, George, and Ringo decided to take a little walk to neighboring Knightsbridge. Laura said, "I can't wait to hear what uncle John and uncle Paul will say now that you have Sparkie as your pet when they return from their vacation, uncle Ringo!" He replied, "Oh, I'm looking forward to that too, Laura! I bet they'll be surprised. What do you think, Geo?" He responded, "Yeah. That's for sure, mate!"

Shopping Spree

Laura had been enjoying her new life as George's adopted daughter, and he had been such a wonderful, caring, and nurturing father to her. One Saturday, they decided to do some shopping in Regent Street. Their first stop here was of course, Hamleys. Laura said as they went inside, "Oh, George. I'm so happy to have finally come here with you. This has been one of my dream places to visit ever since I was a toddler." George smiled and replied, "Your dream is a reality now, Laura, darling. I know you'll have plenty of fun in this place. If you see a toy that you'd like to take home,...

She replied excitedly, "Yes, I sure will! It's gonna be a splendid one!" He remarked, "Indeed, darling!" Soon, they checked-out of the hotel and boarded their bus for the ride to Oxford. However, somewhere near the hotel's vicinity, Laura's paternal grandparents have been eavesdropping and spying on her and the conversations while preparing to do a sinister act. Back at the...

The First Concert Experience

George and Laura decided to sit at one of the benches near the duck pond for a while. As they admired the view, he wrapped his arm around her in a protective manner and smiled lovingly. His dark brown eyes even sparkled under the sun. She held his hand, smiled back, and said, "I want to stay with you forever, George." He replied, "You can, Laura, darling. I'll take good care of you." They then hugged each other once again. Later at around 1:30, the other Beatles went to the park and eventually found them. Ringo said, "It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" George replied,...

Saying Hello To the Other Beatles

The father and daughter-like bond between George and Laura had become stronger as they woke up feeling rested and ready for breakfast. While they were getting ready, George told her, "Once we go to the restaurant at the lobby, I'll be introducing you to my three mates." Laura replied, "Ooh, lovely! I'm excited to meet them." He replied, "Jolly good!" Soon, they went downstairs and proceeded to the restaurant. John, Paul, and Ringo had already gotten a table and were just waiting for George. When they arrived, John said, "Good morning, George! Well, what have...

Laura Escapes the Orphanage

By the time George made it back to his house, he had already thought of a plan on how he could help Laura. He said, "I think it's best for my sweet little girl to leave that place since the other children might insult her again while I'm away. And since me and my mates' upcoming tour around the country will be starting in London, I can write down the directions to our hotel for her to follow and meet me there." With that, he got to work on this and tore the page with the written directions from his notebook. He then placed it under his pillow as he went to sleep....

Best Friends

George came to love Laura dearly, and in turn, she felt safe with his presence. Even despite the fact that she didn't know he was a Beatle yet, she was amazed by how talented he was when he brought his guitar to serenade her during one of his visits. As he finished playing it, Laura remarked, "That was great, George! I really like your singing voice." George replied, "Thank you, Laura! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Say, why don't we have a little walk together outside?" She said, "Certainly! I'd love that." And so, they went out of the orphanage and took a stroll around the area. He...

Meeting George

While Laura was having breakfast with the rest of the children one day, the head of the orphanage told them that a special guest will be coming to visit their place as part of his "Good-Will Mission". When she heard this, she said to herself, "I hope this guest is a friendly one. I'd like to meet him." After breakfast came to an end, she decided to change her clothes for the visitation. The guest arrived at exactly twelve noon. He was a tall, slender man in his twenties, had a mop-top haircut, and spoke with a thick, yet soothing Liverpudlian accent. Laura tried to see him as...

Hazel was sent to the hospital to be treated for her injury upon Jeremy's insistence. The bullet had only penetrated the skin, so removal wasn't difficult. Hazel was sent home to rest. Jeremy took her home and stayed with her so that she wouldn't be recovering alone. Later, John talked with Paul and said, "I'm going to find out where Hazel lives. I want to visit with her. I never got to thank her for what she did for us." Paul said, "We'll all go." He was also very proud that John started using the word "us" again. John sent Hazel an e-mail. With Jeremy typing for her, she told John what her...
