Chandelier – Epilogue
"Mommy?"
"Yeah, Angel?"
"Will you love me less?"
"What?"
"Now that I have a sister. Will you love me less?"
"Honey, of course not."
The six-year-old Angelica cuddled closer to Tina on the hospital bed where they lay together. "I wonder what she looks like."
"She looks like you." Tina said softly. "And you look like your Mama B."
They both glanced at the bed beside the one their own, where Bette lay sleeping, a stuffed panda lying beside her, on loan during her stay at the hospital.
"Is MaBe going to have a scar like yours?" Angelica asked her mom.
"No," Tina shook her head. "Your little sister was more eager than you were to get out."
Angelica grinned at Tina. "I’m a big sister."
"Yes, you are." Tina agreed.
"Do you think I’ll like being a big sister?"
"I don’t know, babe. But I know you’ll make a great big sister." Tina offered, which earned her a smile.
"I love you, mommy." Angelica said.
"I love you too, hon." Tina replied, pulling Angelica closer, except a nurse suddenly opened the door.
"Miss Porter?" The nurse peeked in. She saw Tina, and smiled. "I take it she’s still out?"
"Yeah," Tina nodded. She pointed to Angelica. "This is the older sister."
The nurse smiled, and brought in a crib. "Here she is."
Tina and Angelica grinned as the baby was brought closer to the bed where they sat. Wrapped in pink, wide awake and staring around her, was the latest addition to the Kennard-Porter family.
"If the mother wakes up, tell her she can try to breastfeed," the nurse told them. "You know where the button to call is, and I’ll be back later."
"Okay," both Tina and Angelica said.
"Oh," the nurse addressed them again. "There’s a group of women waiting outside. Are they your friends?"
"Yes, but we’d like to keep the baby within family for a bit?" Tina told her.
"I’ll lock the door." The nurse nodded.
"Thank you." Tina said.
Left alone with the baby, Tina unwrapped the pink blanket, and removed the mitts and socks on her daughter.
"Are you allowed to do that?" Angelica asked.
"She’s not dangerous," Tina reminded her daughter. She bit her lower lip to keep from crying when the baby stretched her fingers. "She’s beautiful."

You know after reading this I went back to look and ended up re-reading “A Long Walk”, man I loved that story. Then I realized that you do such an awesome job of reeling us in, having us hanging on the edge of our seat, just waiting, and then, bam, okay thats it all done. Makes me want to scream, which is not something I usally do. But, then I thought even though you put us through all that, you’ve never failed to give us hope, to make us smile, to make us get that warm fuzzy feeling inside when we read one of your stories. Tiff, thats what its all about. Way to go. Take a break, take a trip, whatever, but just come back, we’ll be here waiting.
Very nice.
incredible! so sweet! please more!
omg…that was so adorable. what a great ending to this story. thanks for the epiloge. u rock.
Please go get yourself published…or perhaps try writing a play or script professionally. This has been such a delight and it would be nice to see some permanent “book” of all these wonderful dialogs. Thank you for entertaining me so beautifully…charming is the word, I think.
Alice still has not found a word to replace you suck. I wonder how long before Katie starts saying you suck like Angel did. Angel as a big sister is too cool. I had read the other stories that you were refering to but I do believe I need to go and reread them.
I loved this…it was just what I needed after reading Citygirl’s story. I can’t wait for your next story. Yhanks again.
and the lifetime achievement award for fan fiction goes to….Tiff_Duke! Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us. Enjoy your time off (and hurry back)!
wonderful! angel in ur story is the best, makes me wanna have a kid :) i hope u continue writing!
Congrtas on your award> We all know it was well deserved. Your writing makes me want to be a part of this family. You do have awesome talent. After you’ve refreshed please come back with another story. I can’t wait.
This is awesome and they’re all wonderful and lovely family. Hope you will continue this and can’t wait to see more, thanks!
Tiff, wow, what a terrific ending to an incredible story. I always get a little sad when you end a story. I feel like you draw me into the lives of these women and then they go away. Not unlike losing a friend. The good news is that you always seem to follow up with something new and equally clever. So thank you for this wonderful story and I eagerly await your next fanfic!!!
SO f-ing cute.
I’ve enjoyed every chapter of this story and I’ll miss it. I like the way you linked it to your other stories as you ended it. Thanks for sharing your imagination and creativity with all of us and thanks for keeping the faith in B & T. You’re awesome!
Thanks so much for sharing this thoughtful, funny and beautiful story with us TD. I loved every single chapter and, like so many others I’m sure, will read whatever you care to write. Hope you don’t stay away too long!
thank u for a beautifully written story! i hope you continue to write many many more stories and i really can’t wait until the next!! THANKS! =)
funny, warm, heartfelt, delightful, fantastic, as always :)
oh that was nice but….more please
absolutely great, please more?
LOL @ the walnut. I was waiting for Angelica to say suck! like when she was a baby. Jeli sure is spoilt. She may be more like Tina now but if I remember correctly in Pick a part doesn’t she turn out more like Bette.
That’s a wonderful ending. What’s next? =)
I’m with nzgrl on the walnut and suck comments. lol I know I read Pick-A-Part but I can’t remember if I read Interlude. Maybe I’ll check that out tonight (or at work today if I have time). I love this family. For all the drama B&T had when Angie was a baby, they still managed to all be together and even give us several laughs in the process.
Awwwww Tiff, it was wonderful and sweet and delightful. Of course, Alice will be Alice, always. I hope you will continue this story at some point after you’ve rested. I’d love to see them together forever, the baby growing, Angie growing up and being more responsible and liking the baby more and B & T growing in their love for each other and sharing wonderful family times and still that HOT loving couple. Thanks for a great story.
ha ha… tina found a way to have bette pregnant! oh my, angelica is just as fiesty as i remember! this could be fun if you continue!!
Lovely, lovely ending. Have a good break and hope to welcome you back soon.
Thanks so much for this story. It was beyond wonderful.
thank you for this wonderful story and I hope that you write more soon.
Man, I’m sad its over this was one of those stories I really looked foward too! But hey with every ending comes a new bette and tina centered beginning! PLEASE!!! It doesn’t have to be a sequal but just any new bette n tina story by you is always great!
