The L Wing chp 80
THE L WING – Chapter 80
Previously on the l wing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“We have to go back to Washington “
“Why ? “
“A plane crashed on landing at Washington “
“Plane ? I don’t understand “
“it was a special charter plane bring guests back from Virginia where they had been celebrating the Presidents engagement “
“Who ? “
“No one knows — but Peggy, Helena, Shane, Alice, Carmen, Dana, Val, Jenn, Lara. James and CJ were all on that plane”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two week later — Narration of Tina Kennard
I emerge from the bathroom and enter our bedroom. Bette is sitting on the window seat in a pair of shorts and a muscle vest, her dark hair is tied back and as is typical lately she is miles away. I stand and look at her – she has taken the deaths caused by the plane crash very hard. And this is the third funeral we have been to – Jennifer, Valerie and now that hardest one for Bette — Lara Perkins.
Bette was devoted to Lara. Since her death more of Lara’s life story has emerged. She was the only child of an alcoholic mother and was discovered by a leading tennis coach. She had a very promising future but had her knee shattered in a bomb blast. Kit rescued Lara from a life on the bottle and the Porters virtually adopted her.
Bette put her through a year of college and she joined the campaign on day one and stayed with her throughout. Lara was at Bette’s side during every foreign trip and virtually every day of the Presidency.
I join Bette on the window seat and wrap my arms around her waist and snuggle closer.
“How you doing ? “
“Not looking forward to today “
“I know “
“I still cannot believe that our engagement party was the cause of three deaths “
“Our party wasn’t – the plane was struck by lightening – it was
a miracle that they all weren’t killed but we have Alice, Shane, Carmen, Dana, James, Helena, CJ and Peggy safe “
“Peggy is still in the hospital “
“And flirting with more and more male nurses every day “

I really love your writing and I think this was one of your greatest chapters – i was fighting it all the way why did we have to have more drama but you brought me round with the strong supportive clearheaded and loving Tina. Thanks and I ‘m glad you are enjoying yourself as well as writing for your fans ; )
Oh, soo sad. Awesome writing Ally. Lovely tribute. Now who will be taking Lara’s place? Thanks!
Ah, poor Lara, hmm, will a trouble maker/press leaker take Lara’s place, I know you like drama.
Very touching. I wonder if TPTB ever considered Lara as the woman to get and succumb to breast cancer on TLW? They could have done justice to the topic without killing off a permanent character, gotten Dana and Lara back together for a short sweet reprise with the soup chef that everyone wanted, and then ended the affair with Lara’s death. The S4 could have been Alice and Dana processing, with Danish reuniting for good in S5. Bim, bam…Thanks for the germinating that possibility in my head!
Please pass the Klenex. I have used all of mine up. It was nice to see this story back even though it was heart breaking. I hope that your team continues to win.
Thanks for coming back early I missed this sooo much, what a brilliant return. Glad things are going great in your life, look forward to more the L wing
AWWWWW!!!! SO SO SO SAD!!!! A very very good chapter. Amazing and powerful. Thank you for bringing it back early. :) *hugs*
this is so sad, but i love your story. these have gone through alot. i can’t wait until the wedding.
This is my favorite fanfic of yours and I was happy to see this chapter posted albeit sad as ever. I hope Bette can bounce back from all of these tragic events. GREAT writing!!
Poor gang :(
Aww that was sad. I think Tina’s sister should become the new assistant even though she’s abit wet behind he ears, I think Bette will have the same kind of trust with her as she had with Lara.
wow amazing chapter :)
The poem is beautiful & the tribute is touching. Thanks for returning early.
amazing :)
Glad you’ve been having fun, but even more glad you’ve come back to the L Wing so soon – the suspense was killing me. Great chapter as always. This story keeps me utterly enthralled whether they are having hot hot sex, arguments, tender moments, political issues or grieving for a friend – the plot is always fantastic and the writing is wonderful. Keep it up and keep having fun!
Ally, thanks for dedicating it to me and rem. me. Big Hug
Hi Ally-Well this is a welcomed surprise, my favorite story is back and w/ a vengence at that. I’m glad Peggy survived the crash but to bad about Lara. Bette seems completely devastated and the timing couldn’t be worse. i don’t know how she is going prepare for a wedding and re-election w/ all this tragedy hanging over her head (plus the fact that she still has to deal w/ Tina’s mommie dearest and her disapproval). I’m concerned that Bette is being so deliacte w/ Tina and not opening up to anyone; not even Shane (this is not a good). please don’t let this be the start of some horrible downwards spiral for Bette. Can’t wait for your next post.
Now I feel back for thinking that you were probably just hungover from watching too much Football! Great chapter. I am saddened by lara’s death. Poor Bette has gone through so much lately, I hope there are some good times ahead for her! I agree with someone’s post that Lisa should be the new assistant… I think that could be hysterical! Thanks for posting this sooner! Hope England does well in the World Cup!
Ally, you have done the impossible. This chapter has left me utterly speechless.
Maybe it’s the phase of the moon or your writing but I’m close to tears already on a Sat. morning.I guess i should thank you. Sue
thanksfor comin back to this story ally..It was a beautiful story …u never stop to amaze me withyour post with the tenderness you show the emotions between our fav couple
well at least you did not loose ur mind and kill dana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A moment of silence for Valerie, Jennifer and Lara. Hope it was a quick and painless passing for you all. Can we get Bette just an eensy teensy bit of therapy? She’s been through an AWFUL LOT in the last couple of months. We don’t want the leader of the free world going around the bend, now do we? Anyway, glad to see this one back, if you’ve needed your hands for something other than the keyboard, well, I understand.
Your writing is so beautiful! I feel like one of the family. I’m happy you returned early. Welcome back!
Amazing chapter. To find someone you love and trust,its so hard to lose them. thanks for posting and gook luck on te world cup. thanks
Thanks for bring the L Wing back early. This was a sad chapter. Bette truly has been through hell lately but Tina is there for her now, just as she was there for Tina when Tina was going through hell and back. Tina is her rock.
This is like TLW where so much tragedy follows Bette around. Of course, this is a little different being the POTUS rather than a fired Museum Director, eh?
Thank you so much, poignant and very well written, you are amazing
that was a wonderful chapter. Hope that Bette comes back around soon.
i’m amazed bette is still standing after everything she’s been through lately…this was a lovely tribute and getting a little background on lara was precious….thanks, i was really sad reading it but i was happy that not all of them died…hopefuly bette won’t close up from this and let tina to heal all the emotional wounds…maybe alice should help dana to deal with her grief and they can fall in love
oh hell, i love this story even though it’s very sad….hope you can post more soon, thanks.
