    Bette takes things hard and gets upset – who can talk things through with POTUS ???

    THE L WING – Chapter 193

     

    Narration of President Bette Kennard Porter

     

    Its twenty minutes after I have made Tina cry – we are sitting in the living room. We are both wearing robes – she is drying her eyes. I have been making her some tea. I bring her a cup of herbal tea and place it beside her. She looks up at me

     

    “You know how to kill a mood Bette “

     

    “I am aware of that “

     

    “You can be such a tactless so and so “

     

    “I am sorry Tina “

     

    She looks at me – I reach out my hand and touch hers. She shakes her head

     

    “Do you know something that I don’t “

    “What do you mean ?”

    “Have there been threats ?”

    I can see that she is shaking .

    “No – but I am aware of the place in history she is going to hold – first child in the White House since Kennedy’s administration. It was a very different era much more deferential and more demanding. I am not going to go down that road with her “

    “No threats ?”

    “No “

     

    “Bette – I swear if I find out that you are lying to me I will not forgive you for a very long time – if ever – this is our daughter we are talking about “

     

    I look at her and see how monumentally I have fucked this situation up. True it has been on my mind for months – it was the craziest thing that set me off. I was flicking through some magazine and saw a photograph of Tiger Woods and his wife with their – it was their fourth baby i think and it made me think about the same shot but with our daughter. Call me insane but I don’t want that for her – I want to shield her from anything that will hurt her development. She isn’t going to be part of my image – she is my daughter and that role will be hard enough for her as she gets older without having to face intrusion into the years when she is so small. But I have never discussed this with Tina. And that was a mistake.

    2. -+Yes Tina said she is MY daughter, but she also said she is YOUR daughter. Bette should see that T is not trying to make her feel like she is any less of a prent than she is. Sometimes as parents we get into the my and your game where our kids are concerned but we don’t mean anything by it. Bette wants Tina to apoligize, Tina probably wants to, but with her hormones in flux she should realize she may not think to. All the reserch she has done on pregnancy and they don’t have anything about arguements and misunderstandings. so much for books every pregnancy is different and no book can tell you how it’s going to go. Bette should have stayed and talked it out with Tina no matter how hard it would have been instead of walking away in tears, it is good that she has Shane to talk t about these things. I know Bette wants to protect thier child but things happen in life and no matter how careful you are if something is going to happen it’s going to happen. They need to let her have as normal a life as possible while still noimg that she is a special child and will not be able to do some of the things that her friends will be able to do without a lot of security.

    4. wow, Tina can sure be a bitch. Now you have me wondering, as you have your DQ hat on..Tina has not apologised to Bette because she has gone into premature labour..PPS

    6. I don’t know why these celebs feel the need to take pictures of their new born, and spread them on magazines!, Yeah Ok!, it will kind of stop the paparazzi’s(sp) did I spell that shee right? rofl, at bay, but even still, you’ve just invited them to snap at yo baby with your consent, what about all the other times, when yo a$$ be out on street, etc, and their all snappin away then, I s’pose for a celeb it’s a no win situation.

    7. Hey Ally! Can’t believe no one took you up on the offer to ‘take a nap’ with you!! This chapter was great. Tina’s a bitch, hormones or not. I understand Bette being protective of their child, but she shouldn’t have walked out in tears. She should have stayed and argued it out. Bette comes across as a wimp sometimes and Tina uses this to her advantage. Shane was so right in her assessment. I’m glad Bette has Shane to talk to. Hopefully Tina will come to Bette this time instead of Bette being the one to always apologize and accept things so easily. By the way, I love both LWing and AYNIL!! A chapter from either one is a gift to me!!!

    8. Oh Ally… if only I were in England as opposed to Florida. Love the chapter and agree that it’s time for Tina to apologize for the “my baby” remark. This chapter got me liking Alice a bit more. So happy that we’ll be getting AYNIL, glad the nagging paid off.

    9. OH SHIT! Wow, Tina, you REALLY fucked up. I thought I could be an asshole but GOD! It’s good though that Alice got Shane to talk to Bette. Tina has some hardcore making up to do.

    10. Hmph…well Tina was mean! First, both of these beautiful women need to THINK before they speak. In the heat of the moment, things are said that shouldn’t be. Yet, a VERY special woman taught me that words are bullets and you can’t take them back once they are fired. Isn’t Shane great? I’m glad Alice put her feelings aside and called Shane without pushing Bette to talk to her. I have a “Shane” in my life, and I’d be lost without her to be honest. I love to see that role in this story, Bette sure does need it! Ally, has the nap offer expired? LOL! I know we are in different time zones, but what the heck right? I sent ya some messages back…talk later Hun! *HUGS*

    12. Yeah great writing; & I may be jumping the gun becuz I c u’v riten anotha chapta BUT I lay the blame for this one with Bette. I mean there they were were post-coital bliss, sure she didn’t get any but that doesn’t mean she culdnot have if not then lata but she f***ked it up with her assumption that she ‘alone’ culd make the call abt photos etc 4 ‘their’ baby forgettin’ it seems that the baby is T’s too. Where was the consultation? why is it always abt Bette’s fears? Yeah so T hit her right back & where it hurtz most!!!! Then instead of stayin’ to sort it out she does a runna’, nah! nah! especially not with an hormonal very pregnant cryin’ wife!!!! a divorce between them wuld sell lotz of newspapers etc also!!!!! Go for it Tina!!!! Lmao

    17. You are SO good! I’m on the edge of my seat with this painful turn of events. Hope you’ll put Bette out of her misery soon and perhaps Tina will admit to being a bitch – hormones or no hormones. Shane got it so right.

    18. This chapter was so spot on. Sometimes, in my mind, Bette comes across as a wimp and codependent especially where Tina is involved. THey say that in any relationship, one loves more than the other person. Bette swallows an awful lot of guff delivered by Tina. She just takes Tina’s crap most of the time. She is just so damn happy to be loved and have a family. She forgave Tina of accidently murdering Emily. In my book, That gets Bette a pass forever more. IMO, Tina doesn’t truly appreciate Bette and the type of life she has provided for her. Tina uses sex and Bette’s devotion to her to get want ever she wants. Often times, IMO, she’s manipulative and shallow. But Bette has let Tina get away w/her crap b/c Bette ‘s so grateful that she has someone to love. Tina pulls that hormonal crap too often, w/o consideration of Bette’s feelings. Tina knows that Bette is so p-whipped and would rarely challenge Tina to cause Tina to respond to Bette’s ultimatums. In fact, IMO, Bette would never state an ultimatum to Tina. Bette is too weak b/c she is so sappy in love w/Tina. I’ve never written such a long comment but I believe this chapter has hit a chord w/me. PPS.

    19. interesting, and about time too!!! I love the character of Tina, but man is she an insensitive bitch at times!!! And Bette, she lets everything “slide” and gets all gooey eyed when Tina makes a move sexually to right the wrongs, and that in itself is just WRONG!!! looking forward to see how you mend these fences Ally. Tina has some serious making up to do.

    20. Tina is not a bad person at all, but there is no excuse for her behavior at all, whether she is pregnant or not! She needs to make amends with Bette and admit she is wrong for a change! Bette adores her and would go to great lengths to protect her and the baby. Tina needs to realise that! Also Bette needs to open up to Alice again even though she can be a pain in the ass a lot of times. Alice is a good friend and maybe she and Tina can learn to be good friends again.

    21. Yeah, Tina was a bitch to play the “my daughter” card, but yet again, Bette was being totally autocratic, (dare I say paternalistic?) in having decided how the child was to be raised. Not to mention how unrealistic her decision was. I’ll say it again: Bette is book smart. But in other ways she can be retarded. And again, both Bette and Tina have been so wrapped up in the wonder of their love as to have isolated themselves from the rest of the world. Alice may be a pain in the ass (ususally for stating the truth, like with the risks of home birthing), but she is a also a very good friend to Bette, despite the shit the wonder couple have made her eat for so long. Alice was good enough to recognize Bette’s pain and to not let Bette’s shutting her out stop her from getting Bette the help she needed.

    22. Bette might be somewhat autocratic/paternalistic but there are crazies out there wishing to do harm to folks especially those folks in the public eye. Look how protective JB and Jodie Foster (just to name two) are of their families. JB won’t even allow the names or photos of her dogs be released as well as her soon-to-be two year old daughter. When I went to see the play, The Vagina Monologues, the other actresses came out of the theater and conversed with the fans and signed autographs but JB burst out of the theater w/her bodyguard and dashed away to her SUV w/o as much as saying thanks for coming and for your support. I know that some folks think that actors owe their fans nothing but a performance where they do their best but it would be nice for them to say something showing their appreciation to their fans. It would have to be a controlled setting b/c some fans are fanatic and go beyond the pale.

    24. Ally I can’t believe that no one took you up on your offer of an “afternoon nap” and ouch on this story, those dark times when your heart is so heavy and there is no confort in sight. Al really is a good friend and so is Shane. I believe that Tina will never ever use that “my daughter line again and Bette will laugh at herself when she sees that she can’t put said bayb in a shoe box for safe keeping. As always love your writing. Md

    25. Glad that Bette talked to Shane. Talking to Alice, a woman that hates Tina, about their problems would have been so out of line as to be a betrayal. Tina is right. The only thing not releasing a picture would do is drive up the price magazines are willing to pay papparazzi to get one.. which would create a frenzy and a dangerous situation. Her suggestion of not releasing a picture is the most unrealistic thing I’ve ever read. It certainly wouldn’t be an option for a modern President. While Tina shouldn’t have said that baby KP is “her” child.. Bette shouldn’t have been making decisions about said child without consulting Tina. Parenting has to be a partnership. They are both in the wrong. Sadly, Bette just gets more sympathy because she has her POTUS groupies while Tina is probably crying alone in the Residence.

    26. ALLY, I am so glad Bette has Shane. I do hope that Tina is in her room taking a good long hard look at herself and wondering how to get herself out of the big hole she has dug. Bitch or not Tina needs to stop playing the baby card with Bette. Thanks PPVS

    27. Helo Ally, I totally love this torutured tale. Bette and Tina have been through so much and still there are more mountains to climb. Thank the stars for Shane and her ability to get Bette talking. There is so much unsaid between these gals but they just know that they care completely for one another. I do hope that Shane can get Bette and Tina talking again because that is the only way that they will surmount this peak/ Please continue this awesome adventure soon. Many thanks for making my heart bleed with the sadness and regret. As always it is your talent the shine throught and makes it all so real. Your Loyal Fan.
