McCartney and Mills Together for Baby’s Sake

Out of concern for their almost 3-year-old daughter Beatrice, the separated couple tried to lose the hostility between them during a brief meeting.

Leaving all the hard feelings aside when it comes to Beatrice, Sir Paul invited Heather Mills inside his East Hampton house, in New York for about 40 minutes, when she came over to pick up Beatrice. The meeting was arranged because the situation got a little out of control and is giving the couple’s daughter a hard time. She has reportedly suffered several anger outbursts.

A witness to one of the baby’s tantrums in a restaurant said that "She just seemed very distressed and confused about what was going on. She was sitting in her minder's lap at lunch while Heather was eating a plate of vegetables and then she started to throw a temper fit. They couldn't calm her down so finally the minder and Heather both left without finishing their food.”

"Beatrice began to really struggle in the minder's arms and then, as they reached the car, she started to scream and people were stopping in the street to watch”.

The little girl has recently manifested her distress in front of her father, while she was spending her holiday with him.

"It could just be that she was looking for attention but a few days ago, she was on the beach with a group of Paul's friends when she threw a similar scene. It's obvious that this child loves both her parents and doesn't want to be parted from either of them. She is normally a well-behaved girl but it looks as if the trauma of the divorce is getting to her", the source added.

Another misbehavior from Beatrice was spotted by one of East Hampton’s wealthy residents who saw Sir Paul pedaling his way on a pushbike pulling his daughter in a buggy.

"He was sweating heavily the first time I saw him," one said. "He had clearly come quite a distance and it was a very hot day.

"He took Beatrice to the local playground. Most kids go there with their nannies so it was quite something to see this multi-millionaire cycling there and pushing his little girl on the swings. He was very patient with her. She complained she was uncomfortable because she was wearing a wet swimming costume so he had her take it off and wrung it out.

"Another dad told me that the only help he had at home was a part-time chef. He looked after Beatrice himself which I assume will be a big plus for him if he decides to go for custody, as everyone has been predicting."

Phil Hall, Heather’s spokesman said: "I am not aware of the incidents but it is a difficult time for the family."

A friend of the couple said that "Paul and Heather have been doing their best to avoid each other for months. But they have decided to put their differences aside for the sake of their daughter Beatrice".

"Both Heather and Paul have realized that there is more to life than their personal battles. Their main concern has to be Bea, who adores both her mom and dad. She is their pride and joy. Maybe this will be the beginning of the end of the war between them."

Another close source of Pauls said: "Paul's priority always has and always will be for little Bea. He has found the marriage breakdown difficult to handle, so goodness knows how it is affecting their little girl. It must be quite confusing for her to go from living with mummy and daddy to suddenly spending time with them alone. They are very keen to make sure Bea has a stable, loving relationship with both of them and that her life is disrupted as little as possible.”

"The best way to do that is to try to patch things up between them and be civil to each other, at least in front of Bea. That said, it doesn't mean that everything is rosy between them. There is still a lot of hurt and pain which doesn't go away overnight. But it is fair to say they are both making an effort."

As a former member of the most famous band ever, Paul McCartney is very displeased with the last turn of events.

"Paul absolutely hates being in the spotlight over their break-up. Although he filed for divorce first, he would be prepared to compromise and soften the petition if Heather asked him to do so. He wants this to be sorted as soon as possible and it can't hurt if he is getting along better with Heather”, a source declared.

Concerned with their divorce procedures, both Heather and Paul asked their lawyers to speed things up a little. A final agreement will also include a confidentiality clause that will forbid them to publicly display details about their divorce.
Although certain sources suggested that the divorce was caused by an explosive incident", once the papers will be signed, no one will ever know what happened.

Meanwhile, according to legal expert, Mark Stephens, sir Paul could be compelled to pay a lot more than he wants to.
In a documentary that explores the ruthless breakup of the couple, Stephens said: "They'll say what Heather Mills McCartney is entitled to, the child is entitled to, and they'll make the award and that award will be bigger, I think, than Sir Paul wants to pay, “ he said, "I think Heather, if she pushes it, could get up to a hundred million", he added.

The documentary follows the couple from the beginnings of their marriage until they split, and even after, claiming that Heather has had more publicity than Paul and that "Last week, the couple met for the first time in 70 days to acknowledge the PR war has to end."
