I’ll Stand By You
Oh why you look so sad
The tears are in your eyes
Tina walked into the hospital, spotting Bette outside a room. Bette’s eyes met hers and Tina saw, she saw the tears pooling in Bette’s eyes. She made her way over to Bette.
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
“He has advanced prostrate cancer, and he’s, erm, he’s refusing treatment.” Bette’s voice cracked.
Tina could see Bette’s jaw muscle clenching as she obviously fought to hold back the tears.
She moved closer to Bette and brought her in for a hug, “Oh my god, I’m so sorry. Babe, it’s alright, just cry. I’m here.”
Let me see you through
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too
Tina held Bette as she collapsed sobbing in her arms, her heart ached for Bette. She knew how much her dad meant to her, despite all he had done to her. She had never seen Bette so weak before, except for the time they had lost their son.
When the night falls on you
You don’t know what to do
Tina got into bed, spooning Bette. After a few minutes of comfortable silence, Bette said softly “What am I going to do T? He’s refusing treatment, and he won’t listen.”
“Well, if there’s anyone more stubborn than you, it has to be him.” Tina replied wryly.
Bette chuckled “That’s true. Tina, I feel guilty for not being there for him, that I had to learn about his illness only after he was in hospital. I’m such a horrible daughter, just like I was a horrible wife to you, I wasn’t there for you either when you found out about our son. Why you stuck by me I’m not too sure.”
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
Tina placed a kiss on Bette’s neck, and whispered into Bette’s ear “Just because. Now come on, let’s try to get some sleep, it’s going to be a long few days for us.”
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Tina didn’t have to wait for long, before she heard Bette’s steady breathing. As she just lay there, hugging Bette, she vowed that she would not let Bette go through this alone.

Great one kiddo. Bette should have been defending Tina all those years before. Her promises to defend Tina now, when he can not defend himself means nothing. Tina has always taken care of Bette even when she was indifferent to her. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Excellent story Tigger. Great stuff. Thank you and being with family will get you thru this for sure. Take care and thank you for posting.
Love your writing,please continue.
Love how they know what is needed from each other. Tina is there for Bette now and Bette was there when Tina needed her.
This song is so right for them! ;) love it
Thank you for writing this…it shows us how so many of us thought Bette and Tina would really be…not the mangled version IC wrote. I can also imagine how hard it is to write a scene that follows the words to a song. Really well done!! Thanks again for this lovely treat!
Glad Tina is there for Bette!
