EXCLUSIVE: Macca and Mucca come together without fighting
By James Desborough
COME together, right now ...over Bea.
These sensational exclusive pictures show Macca and Mucca CLOSER than they've ever been since their bitter split.
They met in New York for a handover of the daughter whose love is slowly melting the wall of ice between them in their multi-million-pound divorce war.
At one point three-year-old Beatrice had her arms round the necks of both mummy and daddy—as if willing them back together in a family hug.
And, for the bewildered little girl in pigtails clutching her dolly, there is hope that their fighting might be over and even some affection rekindled between the two, we can reveal.
For this rendezvous—as Paul picked Bea up from model wife Heather close to his Long Island home—was the SECOND TIME in a WEEK that the pair have met.
Aides say they secretly got together at the ex-Beatle's £10million beachside home for a two-hour family lunch earlier this week.
One told us: "Paul and Heather did it for Beatrice. They both decided on longer holidays of two weeks each with their daughter and agreed at the meeting to stop talking about the divorce in front of her.
"Paul is worried it's the lawyers causing most of the ill feeling. He's asked Heather to ignore these battles when they meet.
"In recent weeks he's been more accommodating to Heather. The tensions and stress of a year ago have eased off and they spend time face to face."
Kiss
For their latest meeting on Thursday both drove separately to a railway station car park.
Beforehand tanned Heather, 39, spent nearly two hours at a beauty salon with Beatrice and arrived in a low-cut, revealing dress.
As the tot, clutching a toy Garfield, spotted her music legend father she squealed with delight: "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy."
Smiling Paul picked up his daughter and gave her a cuddle. He looked tense as Beatrice, reached out for Heather to pull her close for a kiss.
But the frostiness of previous handover meetings between 64-year-old Macca and Mucca had clearly thawed. At times they looked into each other's eyes as they chatted, with Heather fidgeting her hands around.
They said their goodbyes then Macca put Beatrice in his car.
Clinical psychologist Dr Kristina Downing-Orr—a top body language expert —believes the couple have made great strides since their acid meeting at Bea's third birthday last October where Heather was pictured scowling at Macca from a play park bridge.
And she sees clues that their relationship could be warming up again after closely studying our set of pictures. "Considering what's happened between them in the last year, their behaviour at this meeting is incredible," she said.
"They're both nervous but that's over-ridden by their love for Beatrice. And Paul looks very guarded, but I think that's because he still loves her and is trying to stop her seeing that."
Dr Downing-Orr said Macca was going "all-out" not to show any feelings. "Heather is nervous, but she is really placating her husband. She wants to be friendlier with him, which he's wary about," she said.
"If they didn't want to be there, they could have just done a quick ‘here's the child, thank-you and goodbye' in just 10 seconds. They are talking, there is eye contact and they leave on a positive note. This a building block to a good future.
"I'm sure these pictures show they could still get back together."
Macca's daughter, fashion designer Stella, has flown to join her father as he looks after his daughter. They went out partying last weekend and attended a James Taylor concert. Paul chatted to Billy Joel's ex-wife Christie Brinkley.
Meanwhile Heather was seen playing pool in a New York bar with a male friend after spending the previous two weeks with Beatrice, taking her to Las Vegas.
In June we revealed how the warring couple were secretly planning to meet at Macca's US home after calling a truce in their divorce war in May when Paul agreed to support Heather and settle the divorce by early 2008.
