So I decided to do a series of one shots
as I said this is the first time I've written song stories so I hope y'all like them
Teenage Daughters
It's Maddie's 17th birthday and Rayna has a little song she would like to sing for her
Song: Teenage Daughters – Martina McBride
The party was going well, it was just a small party in their garden as Maddie much like her Dad didn't like birthdays or parties… she didn't like surprises either but Rayna had one up her sleeve.
Maddie was over by the punch table laughing with Tandy and Coleman about Daphne walking in to a locker at school the other week
Rayna's so lost in watching her that she doesn't notice a now 13 year old Daphne walk up to her
'Hey momma' Daphne says coming over standing close wrapping her arm around Rayna's waist leaning in to her a little
'Hey baby' Rayna says kissing her daughter on the forehead
'So when you thinkin' of doing this?' Daphne says knowing about the surprise as she actually helped her come up with the idea
'I don't know what if she doesn't like it?' Rayna asks twirling her hair nervously
Daphne chuckles and skips off in the direction of the mini stage they set up
'Daphne' Rayna sharply whispers 'Daph what are you doing?' Rayna whines
Daphne turns and gives her mother a look as if saying chill out, and walks up to the microphone
'Hey y'all, we have somethin' very special for you Maddie' Daphne says pulling her strap attached to her guitar over her head waving for her mom to come over
'What's going on?' Maddie asks Tandy, who just shrugs
'No idea' Tandy says confused but interested in where this is going
Rayna squints her eyes at her daughter earning a small chuckle from Daphne before making her way up the couple steps to the stage, approaching the microphone. Tandy bumps Maddie's shoulder giving her a smile
'Hey y'all, happy birthday Maddie, wow, 17, seems like yesterday you was just saying your first word' Rayna starts grinning at Maddie who is staring back at her smiling
'Well anyway, I don't wanna bore y'all with my emotional stories so I'll cut right to it' Taking a deep breath 'Maddie' Rayna says mischievously 'I wrote a little song, If you don't like it blame Daphne, she made me do this' she says making the crowd laugh
Maddie was so captivated and intrigued with what on earth her mother had up her sleeve she didn't even notice Deacon or Dad as she now calls him, grab his guitar and head on stage to join her mother and sister
Deacon strums his guitar, Daphne following, a catchy tune flows through the garden, instantly catching full attention of the guests
Rayna sends her daughter a loving smile before opening starting to sing
I ain't complainin'
But I'm tired, so I'm just sayin'
what I think
and if we're being honest
then honestly I think I need a drink
The crowd erupt in a slight chuckle; Maddie is laughing shaking her head completely amazed at her mother
My baby's growin' up
She thinks she's fallin' all in love
And that I hate her
At seventeen, she's just like me when I was seventeen
So I don't blame her
Do do do do
Do do do do
What are we gonna do?
Do do do do
Do do do do
what are we gonna do about it?
Daphne and Deacon joining in on the 'Do do do do' bits causing Maddie to laugh even harder
Remember when we use to be
Everything they ever need
We had them believing we were cool
It's like it happened over night
We're always wrong, their always right
We use to be the one's breakin' the rules
Now we're just mothers, we're just fathers of
Teenage Daughters
Winking at Maddie who rolls her eyes at her she continues
She rolls her eyes when I'm funny
But she's sweet when she wants money and her freedom
Oh my god, she's got a car
Swears they won't go far
And i wish i believed 'em
Do do do do
Do do do do
What are we gonna do?
Do do do do
Do do do do
what are we gonna do about it?
Remember when we use to be
Everything they ever need
We had them believing we were cool
It's like it happened over night
We're always wrong, their always right
We use to be the one's breakin' the rules
Now we're just mothers, we're just fathers of
Teenage Daughters
The small crowd of guests are now clapping along to Rayna, enjoying the quirky performance
Their beautiful, wild and free
Everything we wish we could be
But their still crazy
Oh you know, the make us crazy
Remember when we use to be
Everything they ever need
We had them believing we were cool
It's like it happened over night
We're always wrong, their always right
We use to be the one's breakin' the rules
Now we're just mothers, we're just fathers of
Teenage Daughters
Yeah Teenage Daughters
Rayna sings sending chills and goose bumps through the guests, Maddie looks on in astonishment completely captivated by her mother
Deacon and Daphne stop playing the guitar focusing all attention on Rayna as she finishes the song
I ain't complainin'
But I'm just tired, so I'm sayin'
What I think
If we're being honest
Then honestly, I think I need a drink
The guest all applaud and erupt in cheers and whistles clapping away, Maddie makes her way up to the stage giving her mom a giant hug, doing the same with Deacon and Daphne, thanking them all for the best birthday present ever
'OKAY NOW LET'S GO EAT CAKE' Daphne shouts electing laughter from everyone
Hope y'all liked it, you can suggest songs and I will do them if you like?
