No one's POV

Tifani is 4 months pregnant, and she's super excited about the whole thing. Stevie is an angel, and she does everything to keep her wife and kids happy.
  They found out that they are having twins, and when they announced it the fans went crazy. A lot of gifts started to be delivered to Karen's office, and the Fleetwood Mac family is super excited to meet the new members. Christine, Mick and John are placing bets to guess the babies' sexes.
"Tifani darling, you look amazing!" Mick says as they walk in. Tifani tenses up when she realizes that there's someone else with them.
"Hello Lindsey, how are you?" Tifani shakes his hand and tries to smile. "My wife will be down in a second. Now, if you excuse me, I will make us some coffee and tea." She leaves the room, and the environment is so tense that you can cut the air.
Christine follows her into the kitchen. "Tiff, my love, what's wrong?" Tifani turns around and her eyes are flooded with tears. "I can't Chris... every time I see him, it makes me super insecure. I feel like a replacement." Christine walks closer to her, and open her arms, pulling Tifani to a comforting hug.
"Stevie chose you. She is happy with you, and you two are going to have become a bigger family." She runs her fingers through Tifani's curly mess. "Everything will be okay sweetie. Lindsey had Stevie once, but he did not enjoy it the right way! And I've never seen her so happy, like she is now that she is with you!" Tifani is still sobbing with her arms wrapped around Christine, when she notices Stevie at the doorway.
"Chris, I love Stephanie with all my heart. I'm just too scared, because it was always Stevie and Lindsey." When she starts to move apart, Stevie pretends she just now got to the room.
"White Dove, what's wrong?" She leans over and gives Tifani a passionate kiss. "Are you okay?"
Tifani nods and starts to brew the coffee. "I'm just super hormonal right now babe. Thank God Christine was here to help me." She smiles to Chris, that now it's hugging Stevie. "Now, you two go jam that I will take your coffee there as soon as it's done." She blew both of them a kiss and kicked them out of the kitchen.
  After what felt like an eternity, their rehearsal was over, and they had a day off before their reunion to the Charity concert. Tifani tried to be nice to Lindsey and focus on other stuff, but it was hard because it felt like he was trying to push Stevie over her limit.  Mick, John and Christine we're trying their best to do not say anything, but they knew that that's the way Lindsey would try to get Stevie back before.
Stevie got super defensive after what she saw in the kitchen. She loved Tifani with all her heart, but Lindsey was always gonna be a big part of who she was, but knowing how if hurt her wife, she decided to totally ignore him.
They said their goodbyes, and Lindsey was the last one to leave, giving Stevie a long kiss on the cheek.

Tifani's POV

I am so excited to be a mom, and now that Stevie and I already announced it, things got even more exciting.
Today Fleetwood Mac is going to perform in a Charity Concert, and Stevie made sure that I was feeling comfortable at least five hundred times since we started to get ready... I can tell that she's nervous, specially after our talk when Lindsey left the other day.
"White Dove, are you ready? Mick just called me and told me that he and Emily already arrived there." My wife is yelling from the living room.
Since my sister Emily started to date Mick, he and Stevie got even closer, and we all got used to the fact that they had a thing in the past.
I start to go down the stairs, and I see the most beautiful woman waiting for me. She is wearing her signature black clothes, platform boots and her hair and makeup make her look even more beautiful. "Ooh Steph, if we were not already late, I would fuck you on top of your piano!" I bit her lip after kissing her hungrily.
"I can't wait to get home then, White Dove." She laughs and holds my hand. "I love you so much, and your pregnancy hormones make you taste even better." She leaves after teasing me, and I just follow her to the car.

After we are already inside of the Theater, Harry Styles comes to talk to me. Him and I got super close, and he is also betting on my babies sexes. "How are my goddaughters behaving?" He gives me a kiss. "Hey Harry, goddaughters? I hope you're right, or you will lose a lot of money." Everybody in the fable laughs.  We keep talking for a while, and the lights go down, and I watch my favorite band perform in their original formation for the first time in ages.
"This is our last song, then we are out of here."  Lindsey started. "This songs I wrote a few years back for our last studio album that we called, "Say You Will". It was written about Stevie, as many of my songs are, but this song was written at a time unlike much of the body of work you're more familiar with... which was written at a time when most of those illusions were intact. Much of the struggle that we all went through was right at a handoff most of that and fueled most of the subject matter. This song was written, well, after that and it was written at a tome when I think that most of those illusion I think had fallen away. The thing about illusions is that you need them, you need illusions in order to grow, in order to dream... sometimes you need to cast away illusions in order to grow. And so, as we move into a new way of thinking, a new set of possibilities, I'm going to dedicate this song to this beautiful lady that I have known since I was about 16 years old and I'm..." Stevie is crying and she doesn't know how to react, I can feel my face getting red, and Karen reaches for my hand. Tears start to come down my face, and I know that doesn't matter how hard I try, I'll always be the second one. Because Lindsey is still the love of her life... o try to stand up, but Emily holds my arm. After a pause, Lindsey keeps going. " She's mas at me right now, because I'm making this difficult to do this song. It's okay, just do the best you can. I want to hear that..." he tries to gets closer to her, but Stevie moves back still trying to dry her tears, and it is breaking my heart to see her in this fragile state. "So, this is for you Stevie, and it's called "Say Goodbye". 
I feel like I'm going to throw up, and when in the middle of he song Stevie breaks down, so does my heart. I can feel people's eyes on me, just waiting for me to react, and when I look over to the table where Kristen was sitting, I can just see Lindsey's kids staring at him with a shocked face, but there no sign of Kristen. I feel a wave of sickness go through my body, and I grip at Karen's hand.
"Tifani, look at me." She whispers. "Just ignore him. You know that Stevie loves you!" I try to focus on her words for the rest of the song (which felt like forever), and when people start to clap, I get out of my trance, just to see Lindsey hugging my wife tightly, then giving her a peck.
"I can't Karen... I'm going home!" I just stand up and leave, not listening to anyone.

Stevie's POV

I can't believe Lindsey could play this low. I knew something was weird when he suggested that song, but I never thought that he would do it.
I leave the stage and Christine is there, waiting to hold my hand. I can hear Mick yelling at Lindsey. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, BUCK? YOU ALWAYS WANT HER WHEN YOU CANT HAVE HER. She. Is. Married." I don't look back, I just let Chris take my hand, back to our dressing room.
"Sweetie, are you okay?" She asks and I know she's super worried.
"He fucking kissed me Chris. In front of everybody. I'm front of my wife. And I don't know what to say... he was the love of my love for so long, and now that I have someone that makes me really happy, he shows up and does that." I'm shaking and Christine sits by my side, letting my sob into her shirt.
I don't know how much time has passed, but when I finally compose myself, and go walking back to my table, just to find my family worried sick. "What's wrong?" I look at Tifani's chair, and don't see her. "Where's my wife?" Emily stands up, and I know that she's mad. 
"She went back home Stevie. What the hell was that?" Her facial expressions change as soon as I start to cry again. "It's okay Stevie. Tifani just went home because it was too much, but as soon as you get there, you two will have to talk." I grab my purse and walk towards to exit. Karen doe nos say anything, she just follows me. When you are getting into our car, Kristen calls my name and I freeze, I really don't want her to make a scene.
"Stephanie, I want you to know that looking at your face up on that stage, I realized that you didn't know what was happening, and to be honest neither did I." She has tears forming in her eyes. "Don't let that cheap speech separate you from your wife, she was devastated when she left!" She hugs me and finishes " I never hated you, and now I will do what u should have done years ago! Have a great life, Stevie!"
I'm still in shock with everything that happened when I hop in the car. The whole way home is silent, Karen is typing furiously on her phone, and all I can think about is how is Tifani doing...
