    The Fast and Fevered Fall – Chapter Twenty Five

    She listened to Bette and Helena exchange pleasantries before hearing footsteps coming towards her. Helena entered first and then Tina saw Angelica, her eyes misted over with tears as her daughter ran towards her. Tina knelt down and enclosed Angelica in her arms, crying with joy at holding her in her arms again. She could feel Angelica’s small arms wrapped around her neck and wondered how she had lived this long without knowing that feeling. This only made Tina grip harder, thinking that she would never let go again.

    Bette and Helena watched this reunion and both felt tears prick their eyes. Bette turned towards Helena and mouthed the words ‘thank you’ to which Helena shrugged in reply. Helena only thought that this was what was meant to be.

    Mother and daughter stayed in their embrace as many minutes passed by. Neither one tired of feeling the other in each other’s arms. To much time needed to be made up for to let this be a fleeting moment. Eventually Tina could feel Angelica begin to wriggle in her arms and knew, at least for the time being, her hold on her daughter was coming to an end.

    “Mama, I can’t breath when you hold me that tight.” said Angelica, trying to find some room in Tina’s arms.

    “I’m sorry, I’m just so happy to see you.”

    “Then why are you crying?” asked Angelica puzzled by her mother’s reaction.

    “Tears of joy. I’ve missed you so much. I can’t believe you’re here.” replied Tina, trying to wipe away the tears.

    “I’ve missed you too. Does this mean that you’re back to stay?”

    “I think so.” smiled Tina, taking a brief glance at both Helena and Bette.

    “Why don’t we going and find something to drink?” said Helena, stepping forward and taking Angelica’s hand.

    “I want to stay with mama.” replied Angelica, looking at Tina.

    “It’s OK, your mom and I just need to talk for a few moments and then we’ll be there. Maybe then we can take a walk on the beach?”

    “OK, but don’t be long.” smiled Angelica, her mind put at rest.

    “How are you?” asked Bette, once Angelica and Helena had left for the kitchen.

    “Good, and you?”

    “Come here.” said Bette, gently.

    Comments

    1. Perfect, absolutly perfect. Tina admitting she still has issues to deal with, Bette letting her know that no matter what she’s there. Angelica well she’s a bit of both of them, and apparantly the best part. Hopefully they take it nice and slow and work on becoming the family they should be.

    2. Thanks for posting again so soon. What a wonderful surprise! The expressions you convey in your writing just makes every post a pleasure to read. Thanks so much for writing! (PPS)

    3. Yippee! Tina found her brain! And it’s not completely pickled! The goddess of romance smiles upon us all. And given that, I have to refute Madcapper (sorry, Madcapper) but this sea of love shall cure the girl child. And someday, no doubt, if she is her mothers’ daughter, she’ll get wet. But that’s another story.

    4. Bette is so loveable and sweet in this story, Having Angie all this time has done her a world of good. Maybe between, Angie Helena and Bette they can get the loveable caring Tina back. Angie and Bette needs her. thanks

    5. Beautiful, Tina reuniting with friends and family. I’m so glad she seems to be getting better after all this pain! Love your writing, thank you.

    6. Wow, your Bette is incredible… so calm, warm, forgiving, and loving. No wonder Tina is second-guessing her choices… Bette must have been quite the mother to Angel for her not to carry any blame towards Tina. Angel does take after Bette in that way… Thank you, citygirl… for your beautiful writing.

    7. Sounds like a start to a new beginning (as some form of a family). Now Tina just has to stick with staying sober even if she falls off the wagon a time or two.

    8. Nicely written, very poignant reunion . She’s got a support system all around her, now Tina needs to be able to be strong enough to stay on the wagon. Thanks for posting another chapter so soon.

    9. Holy cow, that was awesome! This story has come full circle and keeps getting better.I don’t think I have come as close to shedding tears as I have on this reunion. Bette is amazing. I don’t think I could be half as understanding as she is! Thank you for this story!PPS

    10. Once again it’s so good I can’t wait for me. I have a feeling Angelica’s need for therapy will come later, those pesky teen years. It’s good to see Tina taking responsibility.

    11. Happy New to C-gal75, I do apologize for lurking lately but now that the festive season is over I am catching up with all these wondrous stories. This is a brilliant example of how connect Bette and Tina are; even when they are apart there is a longing between them. They may choose to ignore it but it will eat away at them until they re-unite. You have really captured the sense that Tina is now ready to take on her demons and defeat them from herself. Then she can look towards bonding with her daughter and re-igniting the flame of her life with Bette. What makes this tale stand out is the level of depth you have givem the past; all those mistakes and missed opportunities have brought them all to this time. I want to see it work. Thank you so much for these magical words. Your Loyal Fan.
