THE L WING Chapter 174
Narration of First Lady Tina Kennard-Porter
I watch Bette as she gets dressed for the day ahead. We have spent the night in Virginia because Maggie’s funeral is just before lunch at a small chapel a few kilometres away. She still lived in the same house that Bette remembers from her teenage days. This will be the first time that Bette will have been back to the place that so evokes her formative years for a long time – and the first time she will have been back with me.
This last two days have been hard for Bette – professionally she is being feted for how she handled the Kundu crisis – getting all the troops out without any loss of life but personally she is mixed up. On one hand she is thrilled about the news that we are having a daughter – she has taken possession of the sonogram picture and takes it everywhere – she is very proud. The downside is the whole business with Maggie and Leigh. After stewing on things for a few hours Bette got into an argument with Kit about how late she was told about Maggie. Kit and Melvin knew over a week without telling Bette and what added to her sense of grievance was that Bette spoke to both of them on several occasions. So Bette is sulking with Kit and still hasn’t spoken to Melvin about anything – he hasn’t rung her and she is refusing to ring him – which is going to be fun because we are all meeting at the funeral.
I am sitting on our bed with my laptop open – I have been IMing my mum who since Lucy introduced her to this new way of communicating is in touch with me more. I click across to Outlook and find an email from Kit

Subject: Leigh
Hey there sweetie
How are you? How is my little niece and I guess I should ask how my pig headedly stubborn sister is – gee Tina you deserve a Congressional Medal for putting up with that woman.
Just to let you know before the funeral that dad and I met Leigh last night. Before she died Maggie emailed her and told her who her father was. I guess she knew that she was going to die. Maggie told Leigh that she loved Melvin very much and that he was a dear sweet man even if he came across as a sour puss. So Leigh was expecting Melvin to call. We went to see her and oh Tina- she is more beautiful than any photograph could do justice. She is obviously devastated by losing her mom who she just worshipped.

AllyE, this chapter was wonderful as always. Tina is so good with Leigh and she will continue to need her as well.
Very complex and interesting story. So many different facets. PPS.
Great job. Love how Tina is so compasionate, and understanding with Leigh. Just wait till she meets Bette. Also enjoyed the comparison of the two.
Nice very nice – I love how tina manages to support and tell Bette to shape up all at the same time.
Thanks for the update, fabulous as always. Can’t wait to see what happens when Leigh and bette actually meet. Isn’t Tina just the best?! PPS
finally caught up. very good work here. very complicated. glad she wants to meet bette. thanks.
Great chapter as usual Ally! Glad to see Tina and Leigh bond.
Leigh’s dilemma reminded me of that scene in “Chinatown” where Jack Nicholson is trying to get Faye Dunaway to tell him who the mysterious girl is: “My sister, my daughter, my sister, my daughter!” Or in Leigh’s case: The president, my sister, the president, my sister! But seriously, I understand too well her feeling of being cheated.
VERY well done as always my dear friend! First, I think Tina is so good with Leigh and trying to get her to see Bette for who she really is. She was so gentle and “motherly” when Leigh needed it. As for your comment in my story, I seriously bow down to you and Jo woman! You both rock and are such an inspiration. Now, as for JBadge and the pussy, I think we can certainly try begging as the first option! If that doesn’t work, you’ll need to work the inside track! Hugs – G xx
I wonder if Bette and Leigh together would look like Doublemint Twins. ;)
Okay…I like wanna be Leigh right now!
Tina have that charism to make people trust her and she is doing good with Leigh, Bette has a wonderful woman beside her! This was such a nice chapter thanks so much
Leigh seem nice!
Hail Ally! ???????? Beautifully written!
