THE L WING – Chapter 194
Narration of First Lady Tina Kennard Porter
After Bette leaves in one of her huffs I have a bath and cry for about half an hour. What the hell is wrong with her – why is she being such a prize freaking jackass? How has it only emerged NOW that she wants to wrap our daughter up in Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak and keep her hidden away forever more. What sort of life is that going to be for her? I want the best for the baby and she cannot develop as a happy healthy child if Bette is determined that she is never going to be seen in public. I curse and swear as I throw things around the bedroom. But when I look at the bed and the discarded rabbit I remember the love she showed me – and that she is doing her best in whatever cockeyed way that it comes out –it is love.
I start stripping the bed and trying to distract myself – I need to find something to keep me occupied for the rest of the day – Bette will stay out of the way as long as she can sulking and convincing herself that she was in the right as she always does. God she is so freaking infuriating – how does she NOT see that the more she tries to shield her the more the Press are going to want that first photo and the more risks they will take and the more Bette is going to have to step up the patrols.
If I was still a reporter my first question would be – what have they got to hide? There would be so many rumours that the baby was disfigured or even worse – – the internet crazies would go insane with theories and our daughter would become a conspiracy theory. And to think that Bette says she is doing it for the sake of our daughter.
After an couple of hours of being domestic – changing sheets, tidying the fridge – rearranging Bette’s pens ( that will annoy her ) I flop on the bed and make a call. The longer the pregnancy has gone on the more I have needed and turned to my mom.

You hurt the ones you love the most. Tina definitely did that. I was sitting here like, “Oh no. PLEASE don’t let it be Alice who verbally kicks Tina’s ass.” Then I remembered that Alice didn’t know and thought of Shane. Somehow I didn’t think of her mom. DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH now I feel silly. I wouldn’t say Tina is in the clear yet though. Right now they are only words. Let’s see if she follows through with her words.
Crap. I forgot to add that they do need to reach an agreement where the baby is concerned. A couple of pics shouldn’t hurt. It doesn’t have to be anything similar to a Christmas card to the world.
I was so glad that Tina’s mom gave her a good kick in the ass. Great Chapter!!! Thanks Ally
great chapter…way 2 go mom…kick tina’s royal ass red….post soon u r on a roll…..lets c how tina does….
i have to say i don’t agree with all the posts. yes tina should be called on the carpet for her comment about it being her baby, but i think people are confusing your versions of alice and bettes with ileanes. if they went back and re-read some of the comments alice has said to tina, i think they would not be so ready to forgive and forget and make alice the victim. also, hormonal tina is only a fraction of alpha bette when she is ranting about something she feels she is passionate about. but i luv your writing and i luv the way you get everyone so worked up about your stories!!!!!!!!
You go Moma K, that was to the point but still gentle in a way that a good mom dose things. Md
wow, sometimes it takes someone else (other than your wife) to tell you that your a bitch and get away with it. very good ally. thanks.
Well I guess Tina’s mom came through in this chapter. I’m glad she told Tina how she saw it. I’m sure hormones do play a huge part in Tina’s emotions, but Bette has to know when to say enough. She has to stand up for herself…and you never get used to being treated badly. Tina should also take a hint from Bette…she wants you to make it up to her in bed! And T’s got a lot of making up to do too! Great chapter Ally!
Sorry to comment again, but I agree with Anngie Mosby, Tina should make it up to Bette, IN BED!!
great! i am glad that Tina finally realize that she haven´t been acting well and that she is the only one that can hurt Bette so much. thanks for this chapter.
Great chapter Ally!! Tina finally gets her head out of her ass…yeah! I think she still has some butt kissing to do…in more ways then one. :) Now she needs to do the same where Alice and Lucy are concerned. I still think she needs to cut Alice some slack and see the reason Alice said most of what she did was because so cares so much about her oldest friend. Tina must see that. Bette and Alice are still walking on egg shells because their afraid of sharing their true feelings. Friends should not have to censor themselves. Just love this story keep it coming!!!
Tina’s Mom may have started out against them, but way to go Mom. Its about time someone told Tina she was being an ass, and stomping all over Bette. I don’t think she would have listend to any one else. Great job Ally, now isn’t it about time baby Kennard-Porter came into the world.
So Tina’s mom gave her some “tough love”. It’s about time. Tina’s been taking Bette for granted for awhile. She needs to make amends.
Much Better, Tina. But actions speak louder than words. Let’s see. PPS.
I am soooo glad to see Tina’s mother have a little “come to Jesus” meeting with her, as they say, and tell her how it is. In my opinion, Tina has always treated Bette like this, always having to have her way, always making Bette the bad guy,whenever she wants to and Bette does take it because she is afraid Tina is going to leave. It is time for Bette to stand up to Tina,and say no more, she needs to insist that Tina treat her with respect.Furthermore, Bette should say that one more “my baby” bit and Tina would be out the door with HER baby. That is an unforgivably cruel thing to say, especially as Tina’s mother pointed out, Bette has given Tina and the baby everything physically and emotionally possible. We shall see if Tina steps up and starts being a real partner to Bette, and stop acting like the first woman ever to have a baby.
Way to go mom Kennard, way to tell Tina where it is at. Another great chatper.
Ally, that was simply the most beautiful chapter – you have a gift for writing about love and forgiveness. Thank you so much.
I’m glad they are back on track and Tina apologized pps
I am GLAD that Tina’s mother laid down the “Tough Love” and let her have it right between the eyes. The problem is that Tina is still being a little “hard headed”. Her mother told her that she should not take Bette for granted and be more attentive; that would include taking the hint when Bette commented on exactly how long it been since she had taken care of her. Also she also mentioned how she and Lucy had noticed how she had been acting and treating Bette. That means that members of the L Wing have probably also noticed. This is NOT good in the adverage office enviornment, let alone in such a public and big office. I think that Tina has alot of making up to do, which should include a public display like four dozen for Bette’s favorite flowers delivered to the Oval office. Yes they should talk about and come to a compermise about the baby pictures, but that pales in comparison to the job of making up that Tina needs to do. GREAT job Ally:o).
sorree, I don’t agree with the Tina’s in thwrong brigade!!! See my comment on your previous chapter. Here T did all the apologising what abt Bette’s isolation tank baby idea that she nevr consulted about? Don’t let her off the hook. Also I don’t like the idea of Lucy telling her mom negative things abt T. That girl wulda got the sack big time if I was Bette but she was and is protected becuz of T so Lucy shuld not take things too lightly. And as for Alice…was it T’s fault that Al f**ked around with Helena? No!!! Was it T’s fault that Al made a fool of herself with Jodie? No!!! I have a memory like an elephant as I suspect does T but it appears Lucy and Alice don’t. As for Shane, Shane has been a good friend to Bette. Let us not forget that T has NO FRIENDS inside the white house, Bette does have friends and sycophants to address her every whim, look T had to call her mom and then she took sh**T imo. I know T’s not perfect but Bette can be patriarchal as someone said on your last chapter, dogmatic and plain hard of hearing!!!!! Anywayz I’m sure if B got a little somethin somethin from Ms T she’d not have made those ill-thought out comments about hiding the baby away until she’s 18 or 21 or 30!!!! So a little lovin’ for POTUS sounds like the remedy and she did ask for it. Lmao. Lookin’ forward to the update. Great writing. Trust all is well with u.
Well you have to respect a person who realizes their faults and can apologize (even if her mommy had to set her straight). It always amazes me how you keep this story so fresh. Great job.
Well Ms. Tina, looks like your MOM kicked you butt! That is what us MOMs call “tough love. ” Tina needed to stop being such a “cow” **I love that expression*** They will have to come to a comprimise about the “no photo” rule. We don’t want another “Whacko Jacko” do we ? LOL! Great post.
It’s about time that Tina makes amends and I hope both have a relaxing time together. And it is time for Tina to take care of her Bette!
Hey Ally, Another fine and fabulous chapter from you. Good to see that Tina’s mom told her exactly how it was ans how terribly Tina had been treating Bette about their child. I know that hormaones do play a part ub this behavior but Tina needed to see her actions reflected. Thank goodness Shane was there to comfort and support Bette at this time. Now Tina has a lot of mending of fences to do but she is up for the challenge and is anxious to get on with things. I can’t wait to see how she repays Bette for all of the recent cutting remarks. I hope that pleaseure will be met out to both parties. It is the measure of a person seeing how they react and are able to pay penance so I want Tina to stand proud and admit all of her fears and desires for the future. Only being brutally frank and honest at this time can the gals moce forward – together. There is plenty of love but a little more understanding is needed. I’ll be here waiting to see what wonderful ways you take this terrific tale. Thank you so much for all the joy and heartache that your stories bring. Your Loyal Fan.
That was good, but they still can’t raise their kid in an isolation tank. Yeah, they’ll have to protect her, not just as any parent must but also because of her status as ‘first daughter’. But at the same time children need to run and jump and get dirty and scrape their knees and cry when it hurts.
Good to see Tina’s mom tell her how wrong she is. Well let them talk more and let see some more of B&T’s loving, thanks!
