Chandelier – 3
This, she did not miss.
Bette closed her eyes, willing her daughter to stop crying, and to go back to sleep.
Angelica, all Porter-esque vocal prowess of her, only continued to wail.
Bette got up from the bed, and approached the crib. She gently picked up the girl, and held her close. "What’s the matter, baby?"
"Mama," Angelica wailed, holding on to her other mother.
Bette sighed. "Mama isn’t here, Angel."
Angelica wrapped her arms around her other mother.
Bette placed her hand on her daughter’s back. "Hey, hey, shhh, it’s okay…"
Angelica bellowed out another wail, directly into Bette’s ear.
"Are you hungry, Angel?" Bette asked patiently, picking up a bottle from beside Angelica’s crib, which Angelica refused.
"Help me out here, kid, what do you want?"
Angelica rested her head on Bette’s shoulder, repeating the same word: "Mama."
Bette glanced at the clock, saw the 2 AM time, and sighed. Well, T, if you have someone with you, tough luck.
Bette carried Angelica to the bed, and placed the girl on the bed. She reached for the cordless phone, and dialled a number.
Tina answered on the first ring. "Hello?"
"It’s me."
"Hi, Bette." Tina paused. "Is Angelica crying?"
"Were you awake?"
"Casablanca’s on and Angelica’s with you, so yes." Tina replied. "It’s 2AM."
"Angelica woke up screaming for you."
"Sorry."
"Why is she always like this?"
"At least it’s just during morning." Tina sighed. "Try feeding her."
"Did. Won’t–" Bette was cut off by another loud wail.
"Let me talk to her."
"Yeah," Bette placed the phone to Angelica’s ear. "Baby, it’s mama on the phone for you."
Angelica kept crying, until maybe Tina whispered reassurances into her ear. "Mama," Angelica whimpered.
Bette watched as Angelica’s expression went from teary to earnest as her conversation with Tina continued.
Angelica sniffed, and said some things that Bette probably wouldn’t find in any dictionary, but knew Tina probably understood. Then she giggled, and said "Mama" one more time, before Bette took the phone back.
"Did you get all that?" Bette joked to the blonde on the other end of the line.

TD…You’re the best. It’s a pleasure to read your stories.
Yes, this is progress. I hope that it continues and that both of them realize that they are better together than apart. I like this much better than the show.
Progress, the 35th Hexagram. Its a good sign. I just keep wondering why they can’t act like grown ups on the TV show, only here.
Love it, as always … thx much.
I agree with what everyone else said. Thank you for a lovely chapter.
I found the autonomy is always there with Tina, even the control. When she wants to talk, then they’ll talk; when she wants to be apart, then they’ll separate. Is that a good thing? It means their relationship all depends on if Tina could figure everything out.
progress is good, i like progress…
tiffy u are the best! thank you so much for this!
just absolutely awesome…this was great conversation…they still have this amazing connection because they can get each other with only half words…
love your stories…the best!
Thank you kindly, tiff_duke. Loved it! I just want Tina to throw Bette a bone (so much inuendo there) and talk to her about their relationship (or lack of) already. Oh, I loved the way Tina called Bette “B”…the way Faith refers to Buffy.
Great update. Enjoying this story. Keep it coming.
Beautiful and amazing!
your story is amazing.
TD, “Progress.” indeed! At least you are getting the gals to talk and be honest and open with one another instead of just having them at loggerheads all of the time. The apathy and lack of exoplanation on the show for Bette and Tina’s break-up has leave such a bad taste that it is joyous to have your story as a means to explain some these changes. I adore the way that you get these characters to talk to one another; to get them to admit slowly their emotions and thoughts. Masterly done. Bravo!! Can’t wait to see what happens next. Yip, am hoping and praying for a reconcillation between B&T. Your Loyal Fan.
Progress indeed. I was actually hoping Angelica was calling Bette “Mama” but with all the wailing, not a chance. :( Poor little thing.
yes is a little progress but is ok! they need to keep talking in order to improve their relationship. you have a great way to write girl! continue post please
Tiff, this is a great chapter. I like how they are starting to talk, but they are still cautious, especially Tina. I like the Planet as the drop off site, because we get to see the gang there.
TD-Just wonderful.1st time comments. The dialogue just flowed with ease. All your stories are beautiful. The non-verbal messages between the lines are just amazing.
Beautiful and heartbreaking
