“To make it easy on Derek to remember their anniversary, probably.” Jessie quipped.
Tina listened with a smile as their banter continued, and Angie’s laughter floated through the room, the rigid set of her daughter’s shoulders going soft. A photographer moved about the room snapping a few candid photos, and Angie’s make up artist, hired for the occasion, put the finishing touches on her now happy face.
Tina glanced at the clock, realizing that there were only a few minutes left before the wedding began. While the bridesmaids were chattering amongst themselves, straightening their dresses, and primping in front of the other mirror in the room, Tina took a moment alone with Angie as she smoothed the front of her dress and patted a nonexistent stray hair back into place.
“You look beautiful, Angelica.”
Angie looked up from fussing with her skirt with a little smile. “Do I, mom?”
“You’re the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen.” Tina took both of Angie’s hands in her own. “I’m so proud of you, honey. I know you’ll be happy.”
“I hope so,” Angie said shyly. “I mean, I know I will be.”
“You will,” Tina said affirmatively. She took a moment and studied Angelica’s face. “It’s true, you know. Everything they say. Looking at you now… all I can remember is the first time I held you in my arms. And now I’m about to give you away. It all happened so fast… but you’re not only mine anymore. You have someone else to love, and to love you.” Tina’s voice quavered a bit and her eyes went teary. She let go of one of Angelica’s hands and dabbed at her eyes, laughing. “I’m crying already!”
“Oh, mom. You know I’ll always love you. Thank you for being here for me today. I wish that Mama… I mean, Bette… well, I wish she was…” Angelica trailed off and looked away.
“Hey.” Tina took Angie’s chin in her hands and looked her in the eyes. “No bad feelings today, alright? You’re not allowed to be sad. If your other mother could be here right now, she’d be so incredibly proud of her baby. She loves you, Angie. Just as much as I do. Never forget that.”

Please continue, I’m intrigued.
Thanks… nicely written and interesting storyline.
Beautifully written. I hope you will either continue with this story or write others. You obviously have a talent for it. I can understand Bette leaving Tina and ending a bad relationship that just wasn’t working for her instead of staying and ignoring the problems but sad that her relationship, love and support of Angelica was so conditional that she would abandon her when Angie didn’t meet her expectations. It was as if she placed more value on her ambitions for Angie than Angie’s own happiness. Bette has her freedom but at what cost? On another note as much as characters are portrayed differently I never believe a Bette character would turn her back on her child no matter what. I’ve read so many stories where Tina takes Angie away and whether Bette knows of her existence or not she always has a heart for her baby so it was kind of hard to read that she wouldn’t be there for Angie on her special day even if she didn’t agree with her choices. Thanks for the story.
Interesting story here. It seems you turned Bette into the female version of Melvin. I can understand her letting go of her bad relationship with Tina but I could never really see her letting go of Angelica for anything.
Wonderfully written. thank you.
I’ve been waiting for you to enter my life green apple. You nailed the controlling part of Bette’s personality. Although, I don’t know if she would have ditched the wedding but you never know. So true on the relationship part, I agree with every word. Loved this, thank you
Very interesting. I believe that Bette and Tina share an extraordinary connection, but a part of me also believes that Tina would have gone the safe sane route post-season 1. You have a talent for storytelling. I hope to read more from you.
You must help them find their way back to each other.
good written story and intrigued! I’m a tibetter, so it’s the kind of story-line I rarely read. But still, I’ve been drawn to since first page. And it end well, sad but logical with understanding. maybe u will consider writing another story? thx for sharing
Thank you,sad story.
Loved the writing, but the circumstances of the story made me sad. I do hope Tina tells Angie that Bette was there after all (or, better yet, Bette herself). Thanks for posting. :)
No words can express the pain.in my heart i feel….that part about bette stopping then getting in the car and tina finally let go omg it kills me…and i agree i can never see bette disowning angelica in any way, her relationship with tina yea but angie of course not bette loves her in ways you cant express…i hope you write more and they at least be a family in the end probably not in the tibette way but family at the very least
