Whenever you remember, I’ll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember

“Hey hey, Bette, that’s why we’re here. We’re here to remember your baby boy, our precious nephew. And to celebrate as well alright? Celebrate the birth of your beautiful healthy daughter who’s lying right here.” Kit quickly intervened before the mood could worsen.

Yeah, Oh

We claimed the brightest star

“Yeah baby, look at Angelica, she’s the validation of all our efforts to get to this point. Everyday I look at her and I just feel so grateful and so proud.” Tina said while caressing Bette’s back to calm her down.

And we, we came so far
You know that we, we showed them all
And no they won’t forget

Bette sighed and leaned into Tina’s comforting touch, looking lovingly at her precious daughter “Yeah I know what you mean, whenever I see her, I feel as if I’ve found redemption.”

Yeah

Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high
When all this world was there for us
And we believed that we could touch the sky
Whenever you remember, I’ll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember

With that statement, all of them turned to look at Angelica, silently thanking this lovely tiny being for coming into all their lives.

They sat there silently, side by side, each preoccupied with their own memories of the journey they all had to take to get where they were today. There were ups and downs, laughter, joy, sadness, anger and finally peace.

Whenever you remember

A while later, Angelica woke up and they all fussed over her. Tina shook her head lovingly as Bette attempted to explain what they were doing there at the beach that day to Angelica. The rest just laughed and continued to play with the happy baby.

As the sun went down, all of them stood together as one – Alice and Dana holding hands, Shane and Kit with their arms around each other and Bette and Tina with Angelica between them – all of them released a balloon each, one for each year since he had passed away.

Oh, whenever you remember 

All shed tears, watching the balloons float away, against the backdrop of the setting sun, as a faint baby’s chuckle filled the silence of the evening sky.
