The L Wing – chp 72
The L Wing – chapter 72
“Major Emily Fitzgerald – also known as my fiancé “
I hand the album to Tina – she looks at the photo and then at me.
It’s a moment like the assassination – everything happens in slow motion. The album falls first – and I follow its path to the carpet – I just react in time to catch Tina who has fainted.
————————————————————-
Narration of Bette Porter.
I carry Tina to the long sofa at the other end of my study and carefully lie her down. I get to my knees and gently stroke her face.
“Tina – Tina – wake up “
She does not stir – okay – what to do ? Smelling salts – yeah but have I got any in this house and if I do — where the fuck are they?
So what will wake Tina ? Of course. I run to the kitchen and pour a fresh cup from the machine and bring it back to where Tina is lying. I waft the steam under her nose and hey presto ! She opens her eyes in a few seconds. I put the cup down and perch on the sofa beside her.
She looks at me with eyes full of tears.
“Hey there “
“Your ex who was killed – who you never talk about is the woman that I shot in Afghanistan ? “
“Small world “
“How long have you known ? “
“Since I read your file “
“How do you feel about me ? “
“I told you – I love you “
“But how can you ? “
“Very simple really — I love you “
“After what I did ? “
“I am mixed up about a lot of my feelings Tina – its been a hell of a lot to take in – that we have a woman in common and its who it is – Emily “
“I killed your fiancé “
Tina starts to cry – I reach to take hold of her but she looks at me with horror in her eyes – the full realisation just hitting home now.

I´m FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!*Doing Happy Dance* I just love your histories, It always going to be too short chapters :P. Thank you, your histories always put a smile on my face.
It’s too short!! hehe. I think you did an excellent job with Bette and Tina talking about this a bit. I figured once Bette actually talked to Tina she would start to recover from it! excellent!! Can’t wait for more of this and of Winding road!!
great chapter, glad to hear T is not running & so are YOU.
Okay I won’t tell you it’s too short. Ally, it’s not long enough. *ducks* Okay I’m done being a smartass. ;) Um, wow. That was intense! I hope they work it all out. They were both miserable for way too long before finding each other.
It’s not enough! lol…wonderful as usual, more please!
lol your story is soo good that we always want more and more ;)
ally its not 2770 long..your stories are so addictive for us its omg its jus 2770 words thst it..way to short..more more more give us more….am glad betty got it outta her system and can finally move on with tina….
Wow, great chapter, and not too short – leaves you time to update the Long and Winding Road! Youir powerful writing is always a pleasure. Will we get some relaxing sweetness after all this drama (I like drama, but am feeling a bit exhausted right now. You really know how to give me a near heart attack.) I’m sure B and T will get through this crisis, their eternal love is so strong and they are both so supportive. Let them recover and rule the country! Thank you, Ally, for this wonderful story.
So far so good, they seemed to get over that not to bad, hope it continues look forward to the next chapter
it was just perfect… thank you… i just love both of your stories… write when you can… later babe
really great chapter! (as always!) so glad that B isn’t seeing Emily as she is kissing T… road to recovery!!
hmmph JUST 2770 words? kidding!! heheh its perfect as always, you got me hooked..thanks ally, looking forward to more. v
ally – not too short JUST RIGHT!! you are amazing and you make my heart leap with joy with your fabulous description of love for these two.
it’s never enough, well done as usual
Also amazing your knowledge of American history how do you do it?
OHHHHH that was so sweet. I was so afraid that you would have her in a coma or something and then Bette would have to make some sort of sacrifice. Ops got carried away. Tha was so sweet and perfect as always you’re amazing. OK I haven’t had one moment to write today. Maybe tomorrow. Take care.
Ally, Ally, Ally….. you know the story is 2770 words, but you subtract 35 from 85 and get 40?!!! Tee hee…. couldn’t resist. Loving it as always
Not to short nor to long, Just right.Could you post another one really soon. either one will do. Love both, thanks
ally yay!! ally u no we r never satisfied cuz u keep us wamting more!!
85 – 35 = 50, not 40!! Now, I got that out of the way! LOL!! My bad tummy is now the common knowledge of the whole wide world… thanks for that! LOL. It seems to of affected the movement of my fingers, they won’t move over the keyboard… but getting better by the minute. Great update mate!!
No I am not going to say that it is too short or that it is not long enough, I will simply say that I LOVED IT and sooooooooo well done :o)
Jo — i work for the inland revenue — OF COURSE I CANNOT COUNT
Ally – how could you tell people the taxman cannot count ! Naughty A. So glad you are giving me another chance – you won’t regret it this time i swear xxoh great story by the way
Hey Ally, this was not short, it was wonderful. And you Jobadge, instead of counting, start writing, you’re illness, being so alert,is no excuse anymore ;)
Ally, WOW!!! that was such a great chapter. Please Post Soon Thank you for the story
WOW, it is nice to see some people really do know how to work things out and not run away. I am happy that it is Tina that Bette sees when she closes her eyes and not Emily. Thanks for the post. 2770 words is awhole lot more than my words and yours make sense.
It will never be enough, but no matter how long or how short your stories are, we so look forward to them. You just keep writing and we’ll keep reading. So glad they talked, the weight of that had to be immense. Now on to better things.
As your wish, ally, IT’S TOO SHORT!!But, it’s a good one. Bette is so sweet “Your picture is in my heart Tina – where it will always be “. I wonder the sentence quote directly from you, ally?
You could write from now on and until Christmas and it would still be too short…..I know I’m greedy, but it’s your own fault because you’re a such a brilliant and amazing writer!!!!! :o)) Great chapter, so good to see them talking and working together, I simply loves this :o)) More please…
The burden has been so great for Bette to carry. So glad they talked and, and now, the darkness is lifting. Thank’s for posting. More please!
Seems like they got an awful lot accomplished in this one, Ally. They seem to have turned a corner. Which means they’ll soon be finding more than comfort in each others’ arms.
whoooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! longer
Way too short Ally !… come on, you can do better than that !.. go back to your writing right now, and don’t show up again unless you have at least 5000 words ready for us… lol.. Your story rocks, girl !
just thinking of the tax rebates i’f get if you were my Tax inspector – rats. You go girl! great chapter
Yay! The Golden Couple is on it’s way back to normalcy…kinda ;)
So glad all it took was coffee to wake Tina up this time! Loved the (short) chapter and was overjoyed when you wrote that Bette only saw Tina when they were kissing – Wahoo, then they can move on to some hot lovin! Can’t wait for more! Thanks.
Well done Ally! I luv this story so much! It doesn’t matter how many words you write, I will always want more…it’s your fault for writing such a great story!
Glad to see that Tina didn’t run, but stayed and talked things out with Bette. Ally—I promise I will soon, so hush! If I may remind a friend of mine that she also needs to get her own damn photo’s developed!! LMAO!!!
short, long, who cares, this story is great even if it’s only 1 paragraph…finally some of the night mares are over
Great Chapter. Patiently waiting for the next.
thank god Bette didn’t have to “sacrifice” Tina. She can now see her face and not Emily. So the next chapter will be longer…and possibly an NC-17????
When something is as good as this, it is always too short.
Awesome and glad they ok and they will go through this soon. Ok post soon please, thanks!
wowwwww! A hard secrets talking, they will go trought this i know it they love so much, and Bette now can enjoy the kiss without regrets of Emily’s face!
I guess it’s good that everything is finally out in the open. I just hope that Bette can coem back from this so she can once again make love to her soon to be wife. I also hope Tina doesn’t blame herself (though it is her fault) about being w/ bette’s ex. Please post soon. Viva la L Wing!!!
I have been remiss, I have been reading your awesome story but not posting a message and for that I am sorry. I am awed by how quickly you write, I am the queen of procastination and it takes me forever to write one chapter. So I totally bow down to the fact that you consistently put out such quality in such a fast pace. And I right there with you about the 2770 word thing too. When you post the length just seems alot shorter- but it ain’t! Thanks for the wonderful chapter and yea that you had Bette do the mature thing by talking to Tina.
Aly, I adore this fabulous fan fiction. You have captured the love and devotion that Bette and Tina have for one another. This lastest post show just how much love can conquer. This has been a massive obstacle is now completely out in the open and now the healing and rebuilding can begin. Your wonderful talent has given us this brilliant story and a fascinating insight into an alternate universe. Thank you so much, Your Loyal Fan.
damn… i love this story.. great chapter.. hope you haven’t gotten tired of this.. please, please, please post again soon..
How do you keep the quality writing on two amazing fics? Thanks.
Yay! Another L wing chapter! At last they are able to talk about Emily. No more nightmares I hope. Great update Ally, but way too short! ;-)
This is beautiful, a little too short but still beautiful. Keep it going.
