A Deeper Song, post 3
Bette was a mess though she tried to hide it from Angelica. Angelica could tell that her Mama was not ok and she was really worried about her. One night she snuck out of bed and found Bette in the backyard sobbing. She immediately called Tina.
“Hello” Tina was groggy just awakened by the phone.
“Mom?” Angie whispered into the phone.
“What’s wrong honey?” Tina was instantly alert.
“It’s Mama…she’s crying and I’m scared for her.”
“I’ll be right there Angel.”
Tina quickly walked the few blocks that separated their homes. Angie must have been watching for her at the window because she immediately opened the door as Tina turned up the walkway.
“She’s in the backyard.” Angie motioned to the French doors leading to the terrace.
Tina saw her curled up in a chaise in a dark corner of the terrace. The sobs that were racking her body were painful to witness.
“Bette…” she said softly. The sobs continued and Bette curled even tighter into herself. “Bette…” she said raising her voice and sitting beside the inconsolable woman. She touched her shoulder and Bette jumped up startled. The pain in her eyes a sight Tina never wanted to see again.
“Tina?” Bette was confused. “What are you doing here?” She struggled to gain some sort of composure.
“Angie called me. She is very worried about you and I can see why.”
Bette leaned back in the chaise too exhausted to remain upright.
“Take her home please Tina. I can’t seem to pull it together.”
“I’m not taking her anywhere, she is staying right here with you and so am I until you can pull it together.”
“I can’t ask you to do that.” Bette shook her head.
“You didn’t ask, I offered.”
“Thanks but that would be too awkward and as you can see I am a mess.”
“It may be awkward as you say but have you met Angelica Elizabeth Kennard Porter?”
Bette met her eyes briefly. She nodded.

I am really enjoying this story. I love how Tina is there for Bette, and she feels close enough to Tina to except comfort from her. They are great as friends, but even better as a couple. Hopefully Tina can help her raise her child and be more than just a friend in the near future.More please.
Damn….you got me crying again! I just love Tina. I’m glad Angie called her. Bette needs some good old TLC for awhile and Tina’s just the one to give it. PPS!!
It’s interesting to hear her say that she lost her love and life. I wonder what the transition is going to be like with Tina. Interesting story.
Bette’s got a great support system in Tina and Angie. Still such a sad story, but hopefully Bette’s starting to come to grips with her grief. Excellent, kelika, thanks for the post.
Enjoying your story, as always. As much as I love a good tibette story, I can’t see Tina getting back into that relationship after Bette chose Rosanna….even a sweetie like Tina has her limits.
What an excellent story! Bette’s sadness is palpable and authentic….not treacly at all. I love how Tina has taken command and is totally there for support and love. PPS.
I second azmama’s comment about Bette’s sadness being so palpable and authentic. It’s simply devastating to lose someone like Bette has in this story. I hope Tina continues to support Bette while allowing her to grieve. Great story.
I am really loving this story. Angie is as stubborn as her Mama. I cannot wait to see what kind of role Tina will have when the baby is born. Thanks for the chapter.
Great post kelika…I agree with lucybelly! PPS
All I can say is that I’m glad Bette has Angie and Tina to take care of her and the baby. We see that this is hard on Angie, but it has to be very hard on Tina to watch Bette fall apart knowing how much she still loves her, but has to maintain some boundaries in expressing her love. Great story K.
Enjoying this story very much but I want to see these two back together with Angie as a family and with the new baby of course.
Damn poor Rosanna and Bette, glad Tina is there to help Bette go through this!
This MUST be really hard for Tina becuz we know from the story that you wrote T was still very in love & wanting B back but B chose Rosanna in 1 version….did I get that right? And now its T who has to pick up the pieces…poignant, devastating to lose your woman, believe me I know!!!! As usual u write beautifully and tell a a tragic story wonderfully…thank you…I’m waiting for the next post patiently…
Very sad and wonderful story. I just all are happy in the end. Thanks PPS
In Tibette stories involving a pregnancy, Tina is invariably the pregnant one so it’s refreshing to see Bette in that role instead. Tina and Angie are a wonderful support system, and I can hardly wait to see how the Tina/Bette dynamic evolves. I’m addicted to this story!
man Bette is a mess, she better pull herself together for that baby!
