A while later it’s time for Angelica to go to bed. Both get her ready and Angelica is smiling, happy that both her parents are there putting her to bed.
“You be here tomorrow?” Angelica asks Tina.
“I don’t know sweetie. Maybe.” Tina says and leans down and kiss Angelica’s forehead. “But I’ll certainly see you tomorrow.” Tina says and smiles.
“Okay.” Angelica replies. “Mama? Can you sing?” Angelica asks.
“Sure, what do you want me to sing?” Bette asks.
“Nice song.” Angelica replies. She’s referring to a song that Bette used to sing to her. “Bird song.” She adds. Tina is surprised, she didn’t know that Bette sang to Angelica. Bette looks at Tina a little nervous.
“You’ve been singing to her?” Tina asks smiling.
“Yeah.” Bette replies and smiles back.
“Mama.” Angelica says.
“Okay, okay.” Bette says.
“You want me to leave?” Tina asks as she sees that Bette is a little nervous.
“No, it’s okay. Stay.” Bette says. She reaches down and strokes Angelica’s forehead. She starts singing songbird, softly and with a great deal of emotion. Bette has made her own version and Tina loves it. She reach over and takes Bette’s hand in hers, she cover it with her other hand too. When the song is finished Angelica is asleep. They walk silently out of the room and into the living room. Tina has tears in her eyes. Bette sees it but she doesn’t say anything, she knows that Tina will say something soon. They sit down in the couch. Tina is still holding onto Bette’s hand.
“Bette… That was beautiful. I never knew.” Tina says and looks into Bette’s eyes.
“I know, it was kind of me and Angelica’s secret.” Bette replies.
“I’ve never heard you sing.” Tina says.
“I know. I sang to you once though.” Bette says and smiles shyly.
“You did? When?” Tina asks.
“I think it was about 7 years ago. You were in bed, asleep. I had worked late, as usual those days.” Bette says.
“What did you sing?” Tina asks.
“Actually, it was the same song.” Bette says.
Tina’s eyes are getting tearier.
“I would’ve loved to hear you sing.” Tina says.
“I hoped for years that I would be able to sing it to you at our wedding… but as you know, I never got the chance.” Bette says and looks down on their hands.

very sweet. thank you.
Wow
I loved it. They will be okay.
Love it. But what is the name of the song? Wonderful story. So happy they are reconnecting and in such a loving and beautiful way.
Songbird by Fleetwood Mac
so sweat, so tender…I wish B stayed with her longer….
Maybe I missed it, but did Tina ever ask Bette why she isn’t staying in the main bedroom? If I were Tina, I would certainly be curious about that. Or maybe I’m just confused and missing something…love the story…looking forward to the next post.
cute and sweet but bette should’ve stayed with tina
So cute. =)
They’ll be just fine. So f-ing cute.
this is one of the sweeetst stories…Take sum inspiration IC …ths how it shud be
Silent reader here. Just love your story and I have read some of your previous work. Just had to ask if the song is “Songbird”. I love that song and the few lines you wrote instantly made me think of it. The only version I’ve heard is by Eva Cassidy…anyways I’ll stop rambling..but let me know!
The Barbara Streisand “Songbird”??? Thanks!
I only know the Fleetwood Mac version of Songbird
Wow! That is the way that it should be. Bette and Tina with their daughter. I know that they have to move slowly but at least they are on the same wave length now.
That was so intimate in a non-sexual way. It was BEAUTIFUL!
awww so sweet! They are doing so well, and now Tina has a job in Londo but i would like to read that they will live together there since the beginning. Wonderful chapter!
I love fleetwoodmac songs and songbird…so beautiful, thank you, great and sweet chapter.
WOW! I loved it . Thank you
Hiya Lauren, Another wonderful interlude in this reunion and re-igniting of Bette and Tina’s partnership. It does feel like they are both committed to making this work and are prepared to go all the way. Many thanks for this delightful and hopeful tale, Your Loyal Fan.
that was so poignant, could you post the words of the song and is it norwegian, bette shoulda just slept with T, just slept!!!!!lmao…PPS
I’m loving it, sooooooo sweet, tender and hopeful. Isn’t the reason Bette is not sleeping in the master bedroon is because that is where she found her ex gf having sex with another woman? Maybe Tina can give her a reason to sleep there again.
Wow,loved it thanks
I believe this version of Songbird is done by Christine McVie.
Good chapter. They are wonderful and lovely family, I though Bette stay and fall sleep after Tina but guess not. Ok post soon please, thanks!
