Getting the text after a label with Selenium WebDriver

I've found other questions that look for label text, but what I'm after is the text after a label.

So for example, I have a section of code:

<p>
<label>My awesome name:</label>
"Mark Mayo"
</p>

My understanding is that if I wanted the label, I could use an XPath query with something like:

//label[text()='My awesome name:']

to see if the label exists, but am unsure how to access plain text that isn't inside the label, but after it instead.

Suggestions?

Something like (I use Java syntax)

public String getNodeTextContent(WebElement node) {
    String nodeContent = node.getAttribute("textContent");

    List<WebElement> childs = node.findElements(By.xpath("*"));
    if (childs.size() == 0) {
        return allContent;
    }

    for (WebElement child : childs) {
        nodeContent = nodeContent.replace(child.getAttribute("textContent"), "");
    }

    return nodeContent;
}

it basically just removes the text contents of all direct children of the node from the node contents, which should leave only the real contents of the node.
