I put my face in my hands as a million thoughts ran through my mind.

But no matter how long I sat there and panicked with concerned questions, I knew it would make nothing better.

Doing nothing wasnt the solution.

It never is, I had to take some sort of action.

But what?

I gave out a sigh as I  brought myself to stand to my feet.

I ran my hands down my skirt smoothing it just for my satisfaction.

I prepared myself to just face Ringo.

I didn't have to talk, or even try to sort things out for that matter.

I just had to let him no everything was going to be fine.

I shifted into the living room to find Ringo sitting on the couch in the same position I was in just seconds ago.

I rubbed my arm as goosebumps formed making chills run down my spine.

I heard him sigh heavily as I shifted closer.

I sat next to him slowly and laid a comforting hand on his shoulder.

His clenched muscles released their tension slowly as I massaged my hands in a circular motion upon his shoulder.

I shuffled closer laying my chin on his back.

I felt his soft gentle hand touch mine, he netted our fingers together, resting our connected hands on his knee.

I kissed the back of his head lightly, as I gentle smile spread across my face.

"I still love you. I always will y'know?"

Ringo leaned back into the couch and his eyes met mine locking a lustful gaze.
"I know. It was stupid of us to fight like that.

Talking it out would have gone much smoother.

I dont want to raise my voice. I dont want to hurt your feelings.

It makes me want to die when there is a frown on your gorgeous face.

Especially if I am the one who puts it there."

I looked down at our hands and watched as Ringo brushed his thumb across the top of my hand.

"Its okay Ritchie, we all sometimes say things we dont mean to.

And it ends up hurting people, but we have to learn to forgive their mistakes and move on."

Ringo nodded his head thoughtfully.

I cupped his cheek in my hand and leaned in waiting for his lips to meet mine.

He smiled as our lips touched gently.

I sighed into the kiss with the feeling of relief as he deepened the kiss passionately.

I couldnt stop as we kissed.
The truth was I didnt want to.

When we kissed it was as if nothing in the world was wrong.

No problems, no fights, none of this stuff that was going on was in my mind at that moment.

Suddenly I felt Ringo pull away abruptly, our heavy breaths collided as he stared into my eyes.

"I know what you are feeling, and so am I.

If only it could last forever, but it can't.

This isnt a solution to our problem, believe me I wish it was.

But it isn't."
*************************
Later the next day.......

I walked up the street taking a glance at each of the mailboxes that I came to searching for the one name Ringo despised at the moment.

Lennon....... Lennon..... Lennon.

Finally I found a small red mailbox sitting in front of a petite house made of stone.

Rose bushes lined the walls, and a tall oak tree stood in the middle of the lawn.

I took a deep breath as I walked up the driveway approaching the door.

I lifted my hand and jolted back as I knocked.

I scared mysef doing this.

I don't know how Ringo would react to this, but I had to do something.

Slowly the door creaked open, and a little boy who only looked to be about four years looked up at me with wide eyes.

"Daddyyyy, a pretty birdie is at the door!"

My heart overflowed with cuteness as the child stood wagging his hips from side to side.

Suddenly I heard the soft familiar voice of John coming closer as he spoke to the little one.

"Julian, how many times have I told you, only mommy and daddy answer the door.

Not Jules."

Julian stuffed his hands in his pockets as he swayed back and fourth.

"But, daddy look a birdie."

His tiny finger pointed up at me and he giggled.

John's head snapped up and a weak smile spread across his face.

"Does mommy know about this?"

Julian puckered his lips as he tilted his hip.

John hung his head gigging at his son.

"Why dont you go and play with your toys for a while?"

He placed a hand on the small of Julian's back giving him a light push forward.

Julian raised an eyebrow studying me curiously before obeying his father's request.

"Hmm. Okay daddy!"

I giggled as I watched Julian run off to play.

John turned to me and sighed as he leaned against the doorway.

"Ahh, little ones. Great fun y'know.

But I must admit sometimes it can get scary.
Especially when it concerns their safety."

I nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, I would love some of my own one day."

John smiled stuffing hands down in his pockets just as his son had.

Like father,  like son.

"I'm sure you would be a great mother.

But some advice?"

John led me inside as we talked together.

"Sure, I mean what do I  know about being a parent?"

We sat down and he handed me a cup of tea.

"Make sure you find the right person.

Because I mean you never know.

It could be the person you never expected to even fall in love with."

Ringo?  Hmmmm.

Ellie Starkey.

Thats got a nice ring to it.

I smiled with satisfaction as the thoughts ran through my head.

"Yeah, well if you are referring to me and Ringo then....

Yes, I have thought about it.

But remember we have only been together so long.
Dont you think its a bit too soon to be bringing children up in the talk?"

John laughed shaking his head.

"I'm sorry.

The poor thing was lovesick from the moment he saw you."

I ran my finger around the rim of the cup as a smile curled upon my lips.

John tilted his head back,  staring up at the ceiling as if to be going through the motions of a memory all over again.

"I will never forget that first night he met you.

He called me up and his voice rattled over the phone I could barely collect what he was saying."

John giggled as he held his hand up to his ear pretending it was the phone.

"I remember him saying......"

"John, I need your help I dont know what to do,  I'm so nervous, and she's so gorgeous!"

"Alright calm down, calm down lover boy!"

John laughed wiping under his eyelids.

"Ahh, he got so mad.

Y'know not really, he just wanted me to be serious for once.

Which you know for me isn't a regular occurance."

I nodded rolling my eyes playfully.

"John, I do appreciate you telling me all these things, but I came here for a reason other than talk."

John sighed brushing his hands through his hair.

"I was afraid of that."

"Oh John, I'm not here to put anything against you.

It wasn't your fault what happened that night.

Things were said that no one meant.

And even though he doesn't want to admit it.......
Ringo said things too."

John stared forward as if in a daze as he nodded.

"John, I came here to tell you that I forgive you."

Ringo may not. And thats okay.

He just needs some time.

He will though, you're his best friend."

John's eyes became red and watery.

"He has a right to be mad.

You're his one and only.

He wont ever love again.

And I know how that feels.

If I lost Cyn...... "

John's voice cracked.

I let out a sigh as I embraced John.

"I love you John, and so does Ringo.

Just give him time.

Just give him time."
