THE L WING Chapter 184
Narration of First Lady Tina Kennard Porter
I am really not sure that this is a good idea. But its what Shane and Carmen both want and as we both love them so much and when we said that if there was anything we could do to help we would – so here we are. We arrive at the hospital just after 8pm – it’s supposed to be a secret visit but how can it be with the security measures that have to be put into place whenever Bette goes anywhere?
That said we are doing this as low key as we can –unmarked black Sedan and only a few people know that we are here.
Shane and Carmen’s baby was born at 5am this morning and at the moment she is in intensive care in a ventilator. Shane has banned everyone from visiting with two exceptions – she wants to see Bette and I – wants us to be the first to see their daughter. Carmen has a huge family but Shane’s family really just consists of Bette and Alice for so long that it’s understandable that she should want us there.
What is worrying me is not seeing the baby – I know what a 3lb 3oz baby will look like – I really don’t think that Bette does. But I want to see Shane and Carmen and give them all our support – nothing else matters but the three of them. I will deal with whatever emotions it produces in Bette if and when I have to.
Bette and I are walking along the corridor after stepping out of the lift. I am carrying flowers and Bette has insisted on buying a teddy bear for the new baby. I guess its not very often that the President stops off at a toy store and carefully selects the teddy bear she wants and pays for it with her own credit card ( platinum naturally )
“Are you going to be okay? “ I ask Bette
“Of course – it’s just an amazing thing that Shane is now a mom – wow “
“The baby is going to be small “I warn her

wow, i can’t believe bette seriously wants to name her baby emily. i would be damn pissed if i were tina
glad ur back bette she was doing it for both of u you stuck your foot in your mouth this time
Ah..i love this story, BUT I hope that “over my dead body” part was not foreshadowing because that would make me sad.
Shit I guess I missed funnyone’s sarcasm. LOL! I think Tina overreated just a tad but honestly I don’t think I could agree to that name either. Oh and I was 3 weeks overdue.
yep, emily is not a good name though tina could’ve said no a little nicer…i hope they won’t fight over it or tina would go to a premature labor as well
That comment by Bette makes her just about at dense at George W….good one Ally!!
First let me tell you that is so good to know that you are so in love! congrats! you have a very special thing and i hope it get bigger and strong with the days.. For the post as always great! and i am agree with Tina Emily is not a baby’s name to be considered i know that maybe she should be a little calm but really i don’t think that i could be that calm if my wife want to call our daughter like her last love…mmm i don’t think so… now let us see how they will handle this.
Priceless buy a tortoise. I laughed out loud. Looking forward to more.
Maybe not Emily but some name that starts w/an “E”.Tina should understand that Emily was very precious to Bette. Although, she did cheat on Bette w/Tina.
Bette’s joking, right? What a lousy joke.
I’m going to side with Tina on this name issue. It shouldn’t be a constant reminder to Tina about Bette’s past with Emily. PS.
Loved this until the end how could Bette be such a idiot. Really ??
sthe stuff people do to ‘honor’ people. bettes on crack tonight. glad you had a great weekend. thanks.
God, I’m SO with Tina on this one!!! There is no way Bette can seriously consider naming their daughter Emily… In any other normal circumstances, it would already be absolutely wrong to name your baby after your ex’… But in that case and the circumstances of her death, it would be just plain aweful to Tina! I’m sorry, but I’m absolutely positive that Tina did not overreact and that there is no way she has to meet Bette half way on this… Hell, as far as i’m concerned, Bette is high from all these hospital’s chemicals and when she’s herself again, she better make it up to Tina. “A permanent reminder of her”… Bette, are you out of your freaking mind?… Great comment about the tortoise though, LOL!
I hope Bette’s feet aren’t too big, or she may never get them out of her mouth! WHAT was she thinking? Surprised that Tina didn’t come back with “how about we name her Helena?” You really cracked me up with Tina telling Bette to buy a tortoise! LMAO! Thanks for the great post Ally!
Ally, Great to have you back. And posting ,more of this most excellent of extraganzas. I just loved the simplest of the scenes with Shane, Carmen and Sophie. It was interesting to see Tina and Bette’s reactions to Sophie being premature. I do think that this shocked Bette but she was able to mask it for her friends. I think that the fear is geniune given what Shane and Carmen have been through. Seems like Sophie is a tough little cookie so wonderful news. Tina’s reaction to Bette’s name suggestion was extreme but understandable. Can’t wait to see how this all plays out. More please. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan. PS – Sweet to see you is all loved up too.
uh oh! Tina was a little too harsh. I hope they wont fight, but Emily… umm No! Thx for the update Ally.
Why on earth would Bette do such a thing? Bizarre, if you ask me. Maybe tina should say she wanted Dylan to be a godmother. Isn’t she the one who had a huge crush on tina? Bette you got some serious back pedaling to do!
Emily? What the hell is wrong with Bette wanting to call the kid Emily?
Ha! As maternal as a glass of water–I can relate to that! Thanks for the update and I’m with funnyone–they can’t name their child after Bette’s late girlfriend. Especially under the circumstances of her death.
As always Ally, you take my breath away. Thank you PPS
I can understand why Tina doesn’t want her future daughter to be named after Bette’s late girlfriend, but she does need to meet Bette halfway. How about Emily as a middlename? It wouldn’t hurt to compromise because Tina and Bette could not afford to have another huge fight, please do not make them fight big time! PPS
Good that the baby are ok. Well here is a new baby name for Bette is call “Jennifer or Laurel” lol. Anyway please post soon, thanks!
I am glad baby Sophie made it into the world safe and sound!! That being said, what the hell was Bette thinking? Let’s hope all hell doesn’t break loose??
Yikes! Bad idea Bette, Bad IDEA!!!
ROFL… presidential stupidity ????????
Putting that Emily name is a Good one Ally! And love the tortoise reply after that LOL hilarious way to end the chapter
