    Great Unexpectations Chapter 22

    —

    They entered the front door of their home to find Angie in the living room, fighting off sleep while Angus played his acoustic guitar softly and sang to her. Billie Holiday. The ladies hushed each other, enjoying the scene before them. Angus’ fingers squeaked against the strings when he changed chords and the sound lent itself to filling the serene atmosphere.

    Bette gazed at her daughter. At the man serenading her to dreamland. She wondered if Cora had ever experienced such a moment. Such a moment of complete bliss. Of precious contentment. Of genuine affection and freedom from fear. The tears came to her eyes and she was helpless to fight them off. In between chords Angus heard her sniffle and turned around with a snap. Seeing the women he let his guitar fall limply in his left hand while holding his chest with his right. He exhaled a sigh of relief and whispered. "You scared the bejesus out of me." When he saw the tears in Bette’s eyes he quickly followed it with, "What are you doing home so early? What’s wrong? Is it Kit?"

    Tina, seeing that Bette could not master her voice at the moment, answered. "No. No. Sorry Angus. Kit’s fine. It’s been one of those days. We just wanted to come home to be with our little girl."

    He smiled pleasantly. "Well, who could blame you. She’s just about to drift off though. Sorry."

    "No. Don’t apologize", Bette said. "She looks so peaceful." Bette looked down at her daughter, watching her tiny eyelids fighting to stay open. She saw the spark of recognition in her eyes as Angie’s synapses made the connection that Mama B was home. She weakly held up her right arm, reaching for Bette. Her mama gently lifted her up and held her close. The child rested her head on mama’s shoulder and surrendered to the coming sleep while mama gently rubbed her back. "She loves you, Angus. You’re a good man."

    "Well, I kinda dig her too. She’s a sweetheart. A real angel." He could barely get the words out before finding himself enveloped in a warm hug. He gently hugged Bette back, careful not to squeeze Angelica too hard. "Are you sure you’re are ok?"

    1. You made my night with this post! I love this story. Mr. Buckley….hmmm…what ya got cookin’ there redhorse? Faye is in pretty bad shape & as much as I was happy that Tina gave her the “smack down” at the Planet, you now have me feeling sorry for her. Oh, you read that correctly…It’s your fault that I actually have **dare i say it?***”Compassion” for Faye! I guess that’s the best compliment I can give you, Red. Your writing is so good, that I want Bette and Tina to help Faye find Cora. **which I know is exactly what you wanted, right?** Ciao.

    2. Seems the masses concur that this post was fabulous – who am I to disagree? LOL. I knew you still had some cleverity up your sleeve, Mr. Buckley, indeed! So a victory on the boards and on the baseball field, seems like lady luck is smiling on you Red! PPmoreS

    3. God, I love these two. What a perfect ending to an rather depressing and sad day. They will help cos thats just who they are, bit worried about Mr. Buckley.

    4. This story gets more intriquing with each chapter. Mr Buckley, the evil and horrible excuse of a man needs to have his gonads cut off and hung up to be viewed by all. On the other hand Bette and Tina have such a closeness even after all that they have been through.

    5. That was really quite heart-warming, lovely really. I wonder what they’ll decide about Faye and Cora, cos I worry about that “Mr Buckley”… quite a bit, actually. Just in case I haven’t mentioned it, I love this story, red. Thanks for the chapter.

    6. And here’s how well your writing sticks, red: I was just in the shop and went through the aisle with all the alcohol in, passed the shelf full of Jose Cuervo and immediately thought of Faye Buckley singing, which made me laugh out loud. Of course I got looks, it being a weekday before lunch and standing tittering to myself in front of the tequila, but ah well. Yeah, good times. Again, thanks!

    7. What a beautiful family, and what a perfect interlude before Mr. Buckley enters the picture. If she wants their help, Faye needs to tell Bette and Tina the full truth about her ex.
