A Deeper Song, post 3
“She has made it abundantly clear that she is not leaving until you are ok. You are indeed a mess. I’ll leave when she leaves.”
Bette just stared at her. “Let me talk to Angie.”
“Good luck with that.” Tina responded. “I’ll get her for you.”
Tina returned walking hand in hand with Angelica. That was not a good sign. Angelica was of an age that she only held either of her mothers hands when she was scared.
“Hey Boo.” Bette greeted her and patted a space for Angelica to join her on the chaise.
“Mama.” Angelica scooted onto the chaise and wrapped her arms around Bette’s neck.
Bette struggled to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. She just held Angelica until she could speak.
“Boo, I think it’s best if you stay with Mom for awhile. I’m not myself these days and I don’t feel like I can take care of you the way I should.”
“No.” Angelica stated emphatically.
“No what baby?”
“I’m staying with you.”
“Honey did you hear what I said?”
“I’m not leaving you Mama. If you make me go home with Mom I’ll just run away and come back here. I’ll hide in the garden, or in a closet, or in the basement. I’m telling you all my hiding places just so you don’t worry too much, when I run away to watch over you. I’m not leaving you Mama.” For emphasis she held onto Bette tighter.
“So that’s settled.” Tina said dryly. “Come on Angie, show me which room I’m going to sleep in because I’m not leaving either.”
Angelica flashed Tina her biggest Porter smile and kissed Bette quickly before she grabbed Tina’s hand to lead her to the guest bedroom.
“I’ll be back in a few minutes.” Tina advised Bette. “Say goodnight to Mama Angelica. I’ll stay with her tonight. I want you to go to sleep.”
“Goodnight Mama.”
“Goodnight Boo.” Bette held out her arms for a goodnight hug and kiss. “Thank you for staying with me.”

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!
