THE L WING Chapter 162
NARRATION OF PRESIDENT BETTE KENNARD-PORTER
Tina comes into my office as I am trying to make sense of some briefing notes for the summit in Australia in 6 weeks. I hope that she will be well enough to come with me – I really don’t want to leave her alone. I know how protective I am of her now – in six weeks that will have increased six fold. I just want the best for my wife and the tiny life that she is supporting.
“Are you here as my beautiful wife or my even more beautiful Chief of Staff?”
She grins at me and picks up the phone and hands it to me
“For you “
I look at her slightly baffled but I take the phone
“President Bette Porter speaking “
“Shane McCutcheon speaking “
“SHANE – oh God – how are you – where are you?”
“Waiting to be flown back to Washington “
“Are you alright?”
“Pretty doped up “
“How’s your leg?”
“I feel no pain – I just wanted to thank you for everything you did “
“Oh Shane – it is so good to hear your voice “
“It’s wonderful to hear yours – you have no idea “
I look at Tina who is smiling at me
“Is Carmen with you yet?”
“She’s here “
“She was cooler than all of us “
“She knows I would never walk away before our wedding “
I feel a lump in my throat
“God Shane “
“I know Bette – I know – Tina is doing great Carmen tells me “
“She is “
“You need to talk her into doing it until I get back “
“That depends on the baby “
There is a noise in the background “I have to go Bette “
“Okay” that is just as well because I am so close to breaking down “We will see you as soon as Carmen allows us “
“Take care Bette -love to Tina “
“You two as well “
I put the phone down and for a few seconds I struggle with my emotions. Tina walks across and wraps her arms around me and we hold each other

Alice could be one of the oldest friends of the President but she is overstepping some line since a lot time ago and she needs to think that her behavior isn’t good. good to know that Shane will be fine. Hugs back
WoW!!!! That was WOW!!!! I just hope Alice take the time she has to think. Thanks
I honestly didn’t think Alice deserved any slack and I am happy that Bette has let her go for a while. She needs to think things through and it is time for Lucy to come back as part of staff, Tasha can do something else! PPS!
Alice must be on some serious drugs to think she should have been considered as CoS. I can see her point of being passed over and being pissed about not being notified when Shane was found. I can see Bette’s point of not wanting her negative energy around but since she is a member of the Sr. Staff she should have been notified and not have to listen to it on the radio. I think Alice is just being irrational and throwing herself a pity party. Certain things could have been handled differantly by Bette (and Tina), but eventually you reach your breaking point and enough with the snide comments. Alice should resign and move on (they can think of clever reason why she is no longer on the Staff). Plus, I’m sure drama will be lurking but I do enjoy the happier times more! PPS any chapters to your stories, they are ALL awesome!
Have we all been reading the same story from chapter one?… Cause, in the L Wing version I’ve been reading, Alice would have been fired a million chapters ago if not for Bette and especially TINA’s indulgence… Yes, Tina was harsh, and Bette made a radical decision, but in this story, Alice has been out of line more than reasonnably acceptable, and it’s more than time she received a “warning”… because then again, let’s not forget that poor Alice was NOT fired, she’s just going on holiday to do some thinking (and that would be a much needed first!)… How cruel!… *Shaking head*… Anyway, Ally, thank you very much for this chapter and wonderful story, and thanks for not letting the “bump” line go…
you earn respect alice,and treat others like u want to be treated.great job ally.when is lucy comin back,or is that the million dollar question.p.p.s.
Well hope this break will help Alice think what she gonna do and change her attitude and be good. OK love B&T and can’t wait to see more, thanks!
Yep, Alice needs time off!
Excellent – Alice is so self-centered it’s amazing that Bette has tolerated it for so long – to not hide her contempt for Tina stoopid beyond belief. And you Ally write so damn well.

Let me guess who Tina is going to want to be part of the staff, Lucy. I’m sorry that I am in the minority but Tina is totally controlling Bette, and Please give Alice a break, even though she maybe over top, she is still part of the staff and should have been notify.
Hey Ally, Shame that Alice has to be such a hard ass here. Her jealousy of Tina is petty and foolish. Great to see Bette defending her lover and the soon to be mother of her child. Aluce had better that the time and decide what she wants to do. Yeah to Bette and Tina as they show us all how to behave in a romantic and lustful manner. The simple pleasure of connecting was joyous. Brilliant as ever, Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Forgive Alice Party of 1!!! I hope that Alice does resign just to prove a point. I’m happy for Bette and Tina but i think Bette is fogetting that Alice is one of her closest friends. I get that Tina comes first but does it reall have to be and either or type of deal? Poor Alice. Bad decision Bette.
wow funnyone you said a mouthful. ally that was over the top. its just shitty all round. people need to not be so harsh and think of themselves. thanks.
It’s about time Bette did something about Alice. But, stop picking on poor Tasha. She hasn’t done anything, yet to warrant Tina’s attitude. Let her be judge on her on merit. Don’t destroy her career just because she dates crazy Alice or is that a reason to consider her stablilty?
You really are the queen writer of drama ;) love the chapter.. I know Alice is very big mouthed and a pain in the ass. But keeping her out of Shane ordeal was maybe harsh, Bette? And I think maybe she was wrong in making Tina chief of staff no matter what Shane said… hehe! I can feel for Alice, she manages to get herself in trouble a lot :P I dont Tina sometimes, I think she is to struck by the power and Bette is irretately blinded by her love, hehe! but this are just my ramblings.. sorry :D love your story very much (maybe that is why I get too engaged) :P PPS
Alice is crazy. She needs to get a clue. Bette and Tina were sweet together even under so much pressure.
Bette actually has so much patience; I would have given Alice the order of the boot long ago when she first shit all over Tina….great stuff…more…
Jeezz Ally i’m scared to comment!! LOL Let’s see while Alice has had some points, to think that the position should have been given to her just for the hell of it was completely irrational. While Bette and Tina both have had some questionable comments themselves, I don’t think Tina wants Lucy in AL’s postion. Tina has never at any point want to damage Bette’s staff nor would she suggest something as completely insane as reccommend Lucy for Sr. Staff. She wants Lucy back as Bette’s assistant but that’s it. Tina to some extent DOES rule Bette’s world, but Bette is in LOVE with her AND everything this story moves forward it’s with Alice making some kind of biting comment to Bette or Tina ABOUT Tina. If i recall correctly Tina and Shane are the only ones that are able to handle Bette. ALice MAYBE a Sr. Staff memember but frankly had i been Bette and found out that my supposed “friend” called the baby my wife was carrying a “Bump” i would have been the first president inpeached for murder. That is just uncalled for and it has no where in the arguement. Yes, they are going to use the dating staff arguement with Alice because she is sooo against Bette and Tina. They themselves fought against it, but it happend. Alice was the only one who seriously had a problem with them hooking up and it had nothing to do with Tina being Sr. Staff..it had everything do with Alice has some unresolved feelings whether it’s towards Bette or Tina….my guess Tina…and well this is the end result. Thanks for such a powerful chapter!!
Right now I’m starting to dislike Bette and Tina. It was harsh that they kept the news from Alice about Shane. Acourse she was going to be hurt or angry what did they expect. Alice has a big mouth but also Tina has one, and what the hell is wrong with Tina telling Alice about replacing Tasha. Tasha has been doing a good job, Tina just was to get her sister Lucy back at the position that Tasha has. Tina should get a clue and I totally agree with Alice that they haven’t shown any respect. Another thing< I totally believe that Bette is blinded by Tina that she doesn't think straight, Tina should have never been considered to be The Chief of Staff, since she is married to the President. Bette and Tina are so wrong in this point, Alice should just resign and not look back because why would she want to work where she is not treated fairly. But I still love your story , Keep it coming.
They haven’t shown Alice respect? In what universe? Alice has repeatedly been a bitch. A person can only take so much of that before they lash out. It probably wouldn’t have hurt to let Alice know about Shane in some capacity, but that’s total horseshit to say they’ve shown Alice no respect. Alice as CoS would’ve been as ridiculous as that Samwell song “What, What (in the Butt).” Maybe even moreso.
I have placed your beautiful story in a document to I would be able to read it fully again at another time as well. Did you know that you have now reached 1036 pages in my document, just with the L wing. I love your writting and please continu!!!!
Alice can be a moron, but so far she’s been good enough to be one of the longest serving members of the team. Based on that alone it is not on the face of it ridiculous that she felt she ought to be considered. It is after all highly unorthodox for a presidential spouse to have a staff position. Even if they didn’t want Alice onsite during the crisis, it was cruel gamesmanship to keep the news of Shane’s kidnapping from her. And Alice would already have known something of Shane’s condition of the reports from the media. That there is animosity between Alice and Tina is hardly all Alice’s fault. And to raise the issue of dating staff was completely hypocritical considering that that is the genesis of this whole story and that the objection in Lucy’s case was that she was dating a much older player, not a staff member. And practically everybody else on staff is dating another staff member, for example Shane and Carmen, whose relationship has been wholeheartedly embraced. Whether Alice ultimately stays or goes, Bette and Tina have handled her badly, sometimes treated her shabbily, and should not hold themselves blameless.
Clearly what is was trying to say Funnyone, Tina is not blameless in this animosity that she and Alice have.About dating staff member, Tina is doing the same thing, so her comment should apply to her as well. She was being a total hipocrite on that issue.
