Paul, standing in a hotel bathroom, staring at a word on the doctor's letter -- PREGNANT -- and somehow all he can do is laugh. As if his life couldn't get any crazier.--Hiding it from George and Ringo and even John for a month after that because no matter how he arranges them, the words just don't sound right. --A month after that, spilling the beans by accident during a rehearsal, and immediately snapping a string on his guitar just for an excuse to leave the room.--That night, he and John stay up until well past 4:00 talking about it -- he can't even bring himself to use the word yet -- and end up with more questions than when they started. The only thing they can agree on is that they're keeping it.--Just weeks after he starts to show, tabloids break the news to the rest of the world. It's aggravating, since he'd like to have some part of his life that's actually private, but it's also a relief...at least he doesn't have to do it himself.--On a slow afternoon, watching from the piano bench as John slowly paces the room, reading from an already dog-eared pregnancy guide."At five months, the fetus is the size of a banana...how 'bout that, Paulie. And all this time, we thought you were having a baby."Paul rolls his eyes. "Cheeky git," he teases. John smirks and continues."At six months, the fetus is the size of an eggplant...seven months, it's the size of a coconut...eight months, a honeydew...nine months, a watermelon...jesus, what do they think you're giving birth to? A salad?" John feigns bewilderment, but there's a mischievous glint in his eye.Paul throws a pillow at him.--Six months in, he discovers that stage lights, summer concerts, and pregnancy do not mix: he passes out on stage, to the horror of the audience and the delight of the paparazzi. He's fine after some water and rest, but the articles continue for a week. They end up cancelling all their concerts for the next three months. For the sake of everyone's sanity.--When he finds out, at seven months, that the baby can hear his voice, Paul takes every opportunity to sing to it. From finished songs -- Ticket to Ride, Eight Days a Week, Hello Goodbye -- to sketches to the fragments of music that come loose during practice. John talks to it more often than he sings, but it never feels awkward or silly for either of them. Just natural.--With only a month left, it's hard to do much of anything. Not that there's much he wants to do; everything seems to require more energy than he can spare. In the end, he holes himself up at home with John and settles in to wait...and wait. And wait. He fiddles with the piano. He plucks at his guitar. He writes no fewer than five songs, and trashes all of them. John calls it "the month that wasn't".
