The L Wing Chapter 190
Narration of President Bette Kennard Porter
I stand in the kitchen looking out at Tina who is sitting on the old swing that she used to play on – she is talking to her mom. It had never dawned on me until now how alike they look. The same deep hazel coloured eyes, pale skin and beautiful blonde hair. Behind me Tom and Alice are watching sport on TV and discussing football. Alice has made a hit with Tom but most certainly not with Emma who has taken exception to a couple of Alice’s less than considered statements.
But she has made Tom laugh more than once so they are sitting with a couple of beers chatting about sport.Alice and Lucy are an odd combination but there seems to be genuine affection between them. A few times during lunch when Alice was putting her foot in it with Emma on a minute by minute basis Lucy would mouth something or make some gesture of support. It reminded me of when Tina would touch the necklace that I bought her during press briefings so I knew that she loved me and was 100% committed to our relationship
“Hey President Sister in Law “Lucy comes into the kitchen. She soaked herself when Alice and Lucy were washing up forcing her to go to her old room in search of a shirt. The one she has picked is a little tight around the waist
“You have put on weight since you wore that regularly “I say smiling
“Don’t I know it –gee I am going to have to hit the gym and start swimming. If my other one isn’t dry in time I might have to delve into Tina’s wardrobe for the party “
“Not sure if we can stay for that “
“Why not? “
“Because Tina is feeling really tired – we might stay for an hour or so – it’s been security cleared so that’s not an issue but – Tina’s health means too much to risk. Your parents understand – they are looking forward to being grandparents “
“I know “she wanders around the kitchen – I watch her – she has changed since I last – well since I last considered her. She has been out of my hair and with everything that has happened I have only really seen her a few times when she has been in the apartment with Tina. But something has changed about her manner – she seems confident but not cocky.

Liked the Bette and Lucy talk. However, I think Bette is being kind of a bitch to Tina. She is right in that they shouldn’t interfere.. but Alice has done nothing but interfere in their relationship. Its probably hard for Bette to see because Alice seems to have some crush on her. She hates on Tina while propping Bette up way worse than Shane ever did. Yet, she always keeps Alice around and admonishes Tina. Lucy reminds me of my little brother.. falling “in love” with every girl they meet. Except at least he doesn’t mess around with everyone in a relationship like Lucy does. Hope she crashes and burns again soon. Sometimes people so niave need it. PPS.
Alice and Lucy are like Lucy and Ethel. Bette is right. They need to stay out of it and, if Lucy needs them, be there for her. Glad you cleared up what happened with Tasha, I was wonder where she disappeared to. Thanks for the update.
I actually have to agree with Bette (though offering a minor beer was funny XD) and I don’t think she is being a bitch. Lucy is old enough to make her own choices (even though most of the time they suck) and Tina needs to let Lucy be an adult. Lucy already has a mother. She doesn’t need Tina to still be mom #2.
OMG I can’t read. I totally stopped reading Audi’s comment after like, 2 sentences. Oooops *dies of shame* Audi does have a point about Alice being in the way of B&T’s relationship. This Alice/Tina fiasco got old a long time ago and somehow it needs to end.
Never saw Bette have so much back bone before! HOT!!! Wonder what Tina will say? Hope you’re feeling better personally, Ally! Been thinking about you and the breakup. Just take it one day at a time.
Good for Bette. Maybe she could take her own advice and speak to Alice with the same respect and caring she showed Lucy.
You know I love this story Mate! I think Bette had a VERY good point, nobody belongs in Lucy and Al’s relationship but them. If she crashes and burns, it will be hard to help pick her up, but that’s the only way we learn. Thanks for the post….wonderful as always!
So much for keeping T calm…Love this interaction…hope T comes round…
Bette is so right Lucy is old enough to make her own mistakes and decisions. Lucy seems very sencere about Alice and if Al has ulterior motives she will be found out soon enough. Then she will be delt with by President Bette Porter and will not know what hit her. PPS, Hey Ally how about a post of AYNIL :)
Bette handled the situation quite well and was right to turn Tina down a couple of notches. Saying that, I still am no fan of Alice. Great post and thanks for making my Tuesday that much better. Take care.
strange things happen when you spend a lot of time with some one. maybe tina an alice need to be attached to one another for about three months. maybe they’ll work things out and tina’ll stop being so defensive and alice will stop being offensive. or maybe they’ll kill each other. although it is a novel idea to have a baby at home, it is, however, very nieve and quite dumb to think that nothing will go wrong because the mother is in excellent health. so although alice’s delivery of that reminder was just plain insensitive and crappy, it’s one that bette and tina should really, and i do me really, think about, talk about, and have a plan b just incase.
Bette is awfully forgiving of Lucy–she should have been sent packing from the Whire House. I’m glad you didn’t do that, though, since we’d then miss the fun that must be coming with Alice and Lucy as a couple. And WOW, Chapter 190!!!! And it seems like only yesterday….
Great – Bette being the mature wife she needs to be. Tina needs to deal with Alice’s comments and move on- period. Holding this grudge is beneath her really.
WOW Bette is awesome and hot, go Bette. Hope Tina will agree with Bette. PPST!!!!!!
excellent ally. very thought provoking. thanks.
Lucy and Alice…..BRILLIANT!!! I love this coupling and Tina will just have to deal with it. Bette’s gets some credit for sticking up for Lucy and Alice’s relationship but what bothers me is the fact that Alice and Lucy have been a couple for at least a month and Bette knew nothing about it. Aren’t Bette and Alice supposed to be friends? Even more worrisome is that Bette hasn’t taken a moment to pull Alice aside and see how her friend is doing? That being said I’m glad that Bette is going to Tina out of her little sister’s relationship. Looks like Alice was right all along when she said that Bette had become so wrapped up in Tina that she was neglecting pretty much everyone else in her life. So how long will Alice and Lucy last? I hope they get married and pop out a few kids just to irk Tina (LOL). PPS!
It was wonderful that Bette had a heart to heart talk with Lucy, it was so sweet and touching. I hope Tina listens to what Bette has to say and not run away because she said it. Bette is right, Tina needs to stay out of it and be the supportive and loving older sister, even if Lucy is an idiot a lot of times, but so is Alice! Maybe they are perfect for each other, LOL!
B is finally showing some “balls” and it’s kinda hott, wonder how T will view it??
Go Bette; simmer down Tina. More soon please
Bette was so nice having a talk with Lucy and nicer when she decides that she will support that relationship. I hope she can talk senses into Tina cause she is right, lucy and Alice deserve a chance.
I agree with Audi. Also why does Bette insist on keeping Alice and Lucy employed? It smacks of nepotism and if they are so grown up let them go find their own lives and stop f**king up B and T’s. I just have no patience with people like Alice and Lucy especially when they have caused some much harm and could have wrecked Bette’s presidency. How old is Lucy? How old is Alice? And why is Alice so jealous of Tina? And is she f****g Lucy just to get at Tina even if its a motivation in her subconscious? And why is Bette so damned naive when it comes to Alice? I guess its because unlike Tina, Bette has never really had to fight to survive nor has she killed someone and lived rough like Bette. When u’ve had to fight to survive like Tina u become a whole lot sharper and much less susceptible to being conned. I believe Alice has ulterior motives and I’d give her the old heaveho, I don’t think I’d make my pregnant wife have to carry the additional stress of watching her back for fear of what shit Alice and Lucy are gonna bring down; I mean they even cheated on Tasha, they have no morals or concerns for anyone but themselves. Sorry to rave but like Tina I’m pissed about the Alice/Bette situation. Watch out Bette when Alice and/or Lucy shit on you, then we’ll see if you are so forgiving. IMO Bette’s 1st loyalty is to her wife and mother of her child.
well I’m on Tina’s side here. I think she knows her sister better than Bette and after all the shit both Lucy and Alice separately have put Tina thru and Bette I don’t trust them separately and especially NOT 2GETHER. Even Alice and Lucy arriving to the parents’ anniversay knowing how Tina feels about Alice just confirms to me both Alice and Lucy’s self-absorption.B’s best comment was that she should have let Lucy go to university to do her growing up in private and if I recall right Tina didn’t want Lucy hired in the 1st place. Sometimes I think Bette needs to ‘listen’ more closely to Bette and stop playing the President. pps
HEY Ally, Good to see Bette taking the time to talk things through with Lucy and get her views on her relationship with Alice. Now Bette is trying to make Tina undersatnd that Alice and Lucy are grow-ups and are able to make their own choices and therefore their own mistakes. That is just life. Can’t wait to see what you have in store next. Marvelous melodrama and wonderful writing. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Glad to see Bette being rational for a change, taking the time to calmly talk to Lucy. She’s right, no one was gun ho for her and Tina in the begining. Lucy needs to experience life on her own, the only thing that those that love her can do is support her and catch her when she falls.
