It has been a month since Tina remembered her relationship with Helena and in that time she has bonded with our kids again, playing board games with them or helping them with homework. They released her from hospital two weeks ago and came home with us, she is getting back to herself because of our kids, they bright her day even if she doesn't remember them.
Until today.
Angie had to do a family tree for school with photos and she asked Tina to help her and my blonde wife accepted without a doubt. She sits down with Angie on the floor of the living room and they put everything they need to make the family tree, including old family photos.
-MAMA B! Did you bring the photos of the day I was born?
-Yeah Angel, you have them in front of you, the ones on the right side.
Angie grabs them and passes them to her blonde mother. Tina looks at the first photo that is one of Angie and I when she had just hours. I have a bright smile on my face and tears on my eyes. Tine smiles and gives that photo to Angelica. The second one is a photo of Angie's face as a baby like the third and fourth photo.
-Angie, you can put this in the cover of your project, this is a photo of you as a baby.
My daughter smiles at her and hug her, thanking her for the brilliant idea. Tina refocus on the next photograph and before I can't do anything she let them fall from her hands and a blank expression come to her face.
She has had a few of this in the past week, remembering smells or sounds but I know she is remembering something. I pick up the photo and smile: is the one I took when Angie was first put into Tina's arms, the last one still was very pale and with bags under her eyes but she was smiling brightly.
-Oh bed…I remember the birth. The pain, the ambulance, you cutting the cord –my wife smiles at me and looks at Angelica, sitting her on her lap and wrapping her tiny body with her arms – I remember you baby, I remember.
Tina stars sobbing so I go there and hug them both. I have to try this, I am going to give her another photo.
-Tina, these next memories are going to be painful for the both of us but…you have to see this –I pick up the photo I took of Henry and Tina while I was following her around, they are kissing by the pier. Tina's eyes open big and she gets that blank expression again. This time it last longer, Angie is scared so I put her on my lap and kiss her forehead –T?
Tina grabs my arm and hugs me –I am sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I hurt you…
-Listen to me baby, yes, is true that you hurt me but you were still hurting too, about my betrayal, is all over now.
-I can remember everything Bette, everything: Angie's birth, Henry, you running away with her, Jodie, Brenda, She Bar, the pink ride and us, us everywhere, our wedding, our honeymoon and Oh god, my baby boys.
Tina run to the boys' rooms and return five minutes later with them following her.
-Mama T remembers mama, she remembers.
-Yeah, and we are going to Angelo's to celebrate this, ok?
-Yeaaaaaah!
All the kids start dancing and Tina sits down on my lap: she looks at my eyes, smiles and lean to kiss me, I wrap her lips in mine and put my hand on her waist while hers come to my neck. We kiss, a kiss that starts slowly and then intensified until we have to separate to breath.
-I had missed you baby –I starts crying and she just kiss me, a kiss that relax me.
-You brought me back baby, you are my savior, my happy ending.
-I would always bring you back baby, I don't want to live without you anymore.
AN: I'm sorry if this chapter is too short but I personally think is perfect. I don't have any more ideas for this story so if you want to see something in particular just tell me and I would do it, if not, I would finish this here.
