The L Wing – Chapter 197
Narration of First Lady Tina Kennard Porter
“I have a dilemma “
“Yes “
“The Afghan PM has finally agreed to a meeting with two of the main warlords that have killed so many of his troops. They want a local settlement “
“That’s great – why the dilemma?”
“He want the Russian PM and the American President there to bribe and threaten as necessary. I want the rest of our peace keeping troops out as you know “
“When is this meeting? “
“28TH of August – five days before you are due to give birth “
Narration of First Lady Tina Kennard Porter
I am standing in the doorway of Ella’s room – a room that Bette and Leigh painted and made the beautiful space that it is. This is where she will sleep – the box with the baby alarm is in the box on the chest of drawers that already contains clothes and blankets and everything she will need – and more that she will not.
Bette is sitting on the window seat – her knees up to her chest and I don’t think I have ever seen her look so unhappy. She looks utterly shattered by the news of the likely date for the Afghan peace talks. She is looking out across the grounds – the place where she will take Ella for walks in her buggy, the grass where she will play and run and be free. Right at this moment Bette cannot see that – she is not looking into the future – she just sees that she may well miss the birth of the baby – our baby.
And for the first time in a few weeks she is crying – she’s been crying for the past hour and as much as I try and comfort her – there is no comforting her. She knows she has made solemn vows to be the President and that means that she has given up so much and will do so again. But this is a sacrifice that she will not make – I know her better than Shane or Alice or Kit – Bette will not make this trip.

Helena and Alana, well what an attractive combination. Bette should talk with the Russian PM and try to get that date changed, babies can do what they want when they want and no one else can control it. PPS
For some reason I thought Helena was going to say Bette’s sister Leigh.
How is Bette going to feel about this new duo?
Yes, catb, I also think of Leigh. “Helana” sound attractive together. PPS
Ding, ding, ding!! We have a winner, Helena and Alana!!! I knew it, I just knew it, thank god! Also, I thought this was a very sweet chapter between Bette and Tina, please keep it up! PPS ASAP!
Helena and Alana almost sounds like a tongue twister. lol
wow thats a nice pairing based on your description of alana. I wonder how Tina will react. hmmmm.
Glad Tina took things so well. She knows Bette wouldmove heaven and earth to be there when Ella is born, but when duty calls sometimes you have to put personal things on the back burner. Glad Helena has found someone. I hope Alana treats her well.
now there is an alena
Anything that gets you to increase the posts is a good thing. Can’t wait for 200! I liked this chapter… love seeing Tina so supportive of and adoring to Bette. Very sweet. Like that Helena is seeing Alana, although I too was thinking it could have been Leigh.
glad that helena is happy. im having just the most boring day at work. this sure helped. thanks.
i can talk to Russian PM LOL so, this is how Helana was born
Oh that Alana!!! I forgot for a minute. Hotstuff. Well, maybe Alana go go to Afghanistan or maybe they can fly those people to the USA like they usually do, like that Iranian guy recently etc. Don’t let Bette go. Its far too dangerous in Afghanistan. PPS Oh yeah and don’t forget 6 months of sex in 4 weeks, start now!!! Lol. Another reason B can’t leave T’s side. U PROMISED SEX. Lmao.
Alright Helena and Alena but I though is Leigh. Great about B&T and Bette should talk to the Russian PM and hope they can change the date. Anyway post soon please, thanks!
Helena has proven to be a very good close friend to Tina and she has cleaned up her act. Being chosen as a God Mother will surely affect her in a positive way. Furthermore, if she’s the winner to the Alana contest, then WELCOME. It means she worked hard to get it. On the other hand, you are missing your magic wisdom, remember? Make B stay, when Ella is born? I’m sure you have more than a rabbit under your sleeve. Bring it on, Ally!
Hey Ally I’m so sorry I owe you a PM and just at first was at a loss for words. I am excited for Chapter 200. It just shows how generous you have been with your creativity all this time. I for one treasure you and this story. It’s how we initally connected. I still haven’t lost that thrill I get when I log on and see you’ve posted. Now that I have a blackberry I’m finding I’m reading you at all the most inappropriate time. It get’s hard to explain the grin at times but I don’t care. Thanks for all your posts and all the posts yet to come. You are amazing.
And the final winner for the Alana race is Helena!
Helena and Alana should be a good duo, they are both experienced (in many ways) and familiar with the ways of power. And they sound like an attractive couple.
Helena and Alana huh? What an attractive sight :-) great update Ally.
So Helena for GOD mother??? Wouldn’t a nice gesture from both Bette and Tina to ask Alice? Maybe I need to go back and reread the earlier chapters, maybe i missed it. PPS!
