“Good morning, Baby.” I awaken Tina as I settle her coffee mug on the bedside table. She rubs the sleep from her eyes and smiles up at me.
“Hm, smells so good.” She scoots up on the headboard and lifts the cup to her lips. “What time is it, Bette? Did you let me oversleep?”
“Is eight oversleeping? How’s your head this morning?”
“I’ll be okay.” Tina smiles. “A few pinches here and there behind my eyes I’m noticing,” She shakes out two aspirin and then swallows them with her coffee.
I settle back into bed next to her. “But no throbbing?”
“No, you took care of all my throbbing last night.” Tina winks at me.
I smile. “There were a few but nothing I couldn’t handle.” I laugh softly and then stretch out next to her and yawn.
“So, we like the new bed, do we?” I ask hoping our christening has made it so.
“My foggy memories tell me we liked everything about it.” Tina agrees before closing her eyes again and wincing slightly.
I lift my arm so she’ll slide across next to me. “Come closer, T, I have something I need to talk to you about.”
“Babe, I promise you we can live our lives now. Claire did her job, Josh did his by spearing Jenny between the eyes, and you did yours masterfully.” Tina lists then leans against my shoulder. “I think we’ve done all we can do for the moment.”
“Tina, before you go to work today will you do something for me?”
“Anything but the pool,” she says as we both look out our bedroom windows to the garden and the water’s surface beyond. “I can never remember the right combinations for those tablets, Bette. I might turn it green again like last time.” She warns.
“It’s not the pool, Baby.” I kiss the top of her head. “I’d like for you to be here when I call Mary Windhorse this morning. Any questions you have let’s ask them together.”
“Okay,” Tina answers with a thoughtful tone. “When do you want to call her, Bette?”
“Soon.”
Home of Mary Windhorse
Skype Call – Bette
Tina’s morning routine has been the same as long as I’ve known her. While she has upon occasion caught me still sleeping and been the one to bring our first cup of coffee back to bed the rest of her movements between that cup and the breakfast table on any given weekday morning my guess are still the same.

Wonderful update. Maxine is a hoot! Can’t wait to read more and learn about Maxine’s role in bringing down the Gambino mob bosses. Photos were perfect. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Thanks! The pictures were beautiful! I pray they are kept safe and I think Melvin is the missing person. PPS
Loved Maxine !….Nicely written as always Blackbird..Enjoying this story very much!
At the risk of repeating other comments – loved Maxine – but then again I loved the whole of this Chapter mainly because it promises us so much for future posts!
Thanks BB for your own unique line of storytelling and the Pictures that go with it. Great writing as usual please post next chapter soon.
Fasten your seat belts everyone we are in for a great ride on Blackbirds Season 7 !!
It was a great chapter as always, dear! I love the story you’re telling ;)
so the images are wonderful, I love them all the time.
Maxine looks really good sense of humor and kind.
I think Tina was just really insensitive. I hope she will make up Bette :D
Great update. Why do I think the supposed dead gangster is going to make an appearance. Thanks

First time commenting……but have been reading from the beginning……..so a hummingbird…….is that Bettes’ spirit animal? Bringing good luck and happiness to her family? We do have a Native American theme going on …..love all these little special touches! Still trying to figure out why Tina and Angie are delayed…love this story!
Joni Mitchell!!!!!! Wow of all the thousands of stories depicting who an imaginary Maxine may look like I think this takes the cake!!!! Just an epic stroke genius on your part and makes perfect sense in so many strangely wonderful ways. Ridiculously awesome.
Really, really love what you’ve done to your fic. Not only we have a good story, we’ve got some fabulous pictures each time you updated!…Love this one particular picture of Bette…[the photo in the first page]
She’s so Alpha in there…Yummy!..But I’ve got one complain though?….I’m waiting for the conversation between Max and Bette?!..And you cut it off!?
PPS?… *down on my knees*
Wow! true of the trip 7
season, a gift that you give us.
Everyone recognizes the enormous dedication
you are writing this
beautiful story.
I love this chapter.
10 stars.
A perfect setting for Bette’s mother. This part of the US is full of magic and some very deeply spiritual people. I’m glad you’re giving Maxine some air time. I’d always wished we would have gotten at least a flashback of Bette’s childhood from the original TLW.
