The L Wing – chapter 200
THE L WING – Chapter 200
Narration of President Bette Kennard Porter
I stir in my chair and look at my wrist watch – noon on the 9th of September. Hell I am so tired and I cannot put into feelings into words. I stifle a yawn and look across at the bed. Tina is asleep – her blonde hair scrapped back and her left hand complete with wedding ring resting on the duvet. Sweet Lord will I ever be able to put into words how real and all consuming my love for her is?
As I look at her I can finally begin to put into perspective the events of the last 21 hours. So much has happened – so many things that are muddled in my mind. I need sleep but I know that if I close my eyes I will not be able to. I feel on a high that I will never come down from. Where do I start to unravel the day that has changed my life forever?
One of the things that we had agreed on was that Tina was not going to be spooked out by the time – we were running on the timescale determined by her body and that of our daughter. If she wanted to see us she would get a move on. So we covered all the clocks and I left my watch beside the bed – face down. For that reason I have only the vaguest of ideas about what time things happened. I do know that having a home birth was the 100% totally right thing. If we had to travel to hospital I would have been on edge because of the security arrangements and wanting the maximum privacy for us. Plus Tina was happy at home – she had everything around her that she needed and she was free to wander around the apartment and listen to the music that she wanted and even watch TV.
There are no words to praise Pam and her team – when I settle the bill there will be the biggest bonus on top that I can invent – they were calm and supportive and funny and just put both of us at ease.

Beautiful! Just beautiful. PPS
I haven’t commented on a story in two years. I have read L Wing atleast three or four times and just about everything else you have posted. I’ve seen you progress from being a good writer to one that is the mark by which others are judged. On days when the current postings are less than fullfilling, I go back to your stories and my heart is off again on a wonderous journey. I don’t know what spurs you to devote so much time and detail to entertaining us. But, I want you to know your efforts don’t go unnoticed. I sincerely thank you. What you write is important, it touches lives around the world. Many great writers have been on the site and thrilled us with their fantastic stories. But few have come back with multiple offerings that go on for years and continue to keep our eyes glued to the computer screen. Thank you Ally and congratulations.
Bravo to Ally, Bravo to all Brits (and one skillful brilliant brit in question ie YOU !!) and finally bravo to a beautifully written story.I congrat you on 200 chapters of a great story and I look forward to the next 200!!I have followed this story from day 1 and look forward to every posting.Thanks for sharing and bring on the next 200 chapters !!!
I love this story. Another great chapter.
Love the chapter as I have loved this story from the beginning. When the writing is as enthralling as yours, it’s easy to buy the premise. Thank you for sharing your wonderful imagination and kudos for the well-deserved nominations!
bringing on a twist eh??? is it postpartum depression??? is Tina gonna have some sort of complication??? be gentle with whatever it maybe ok???
ally, What dedication and steadfastness on all your writing. At first, I couldn’t buy into Bette Porter as POTUS but you have made it seem perfectly achievable. Brava!
Another beautiful chapter! I’ve been hooked on this story from the very beginning. You’ve done a wonderful job with this and all of your stories. Keep them coming!!
I have tears in my eyes. Such a beautiful chapter and such a wonderful birth experience for Tina, Bette, and Ella. We all know this is fiction, but you have created such a wonderful relationship that it becomes like a healing miracle to participate in such a nurturing fulfilling committed relationship. Thank you.
That was a wonderful chapter AllyE, you have almost outdone yourself. And little Ella is just peachy, Bette and Tina are so proud. will be happy when everyone else sees her, especially Kit.Loved it. PPS
Wow that was beautiful and amazing, so happy for B&T. Please post more, thanks!
im still trying to figure out tucking food in??? is that why people in your country arent fat??? they tuck food in?? ;) great chapter. thanks.
i didn’t expect to have the 200 chapter that soon. congrats!! and please keep it up. i love how bette cursed lucy in the last chapter, i laughed at it. baby ella seems healthy and it’s nice. i suddenly thinking of shane, just make her a VP as she’s very loyal to bette. and, hey, how funny you are talking about the thing to do on the changing table, lol
Lucky Ella!!!! very sweet.
:D that is really really sweet. Ok… I saw that Tina planned to feed the baby for 6 months… babies starting to have teeth at 4th month right? Or am I wrong? hmm… ouch… :S Congrats on the 200th chappy :)
Beautifully written.
Wow, great chapter. Very realistic as well. My darling wife was in labor or 22 hours with our son and you have described it perfectly. Thanks so much for this story. I remember when I first came across it (about 180 chapters ago!) and thought, what a strange concept but felt compelled to read it. And I was hooked. You’ve done a superlative job with this for a Brit!! Thanks for your generosity. Lin
This will bring back good memory for a lot of Moms. You forget the pain of having the child and remember the beautiful miracle that you have in your arms and the love you have in your hard. Someone told me they walk on your heart and then your feet. then your heart again. thanks for this wonderful chapter and for your work,time energy, and effort for 200 chapters.. thanks
What can I say. Absolute great as always. Thanks
I;know I’ve already said it but God, you’re good. Hope Tina won’t be suffering of what us French, call baby blues too much. You know, The L wing was the first L word fanfiction I’ve ever read. An,d now that I see the US elections coming I feel so weird, wondering if Hillary is gonna win, get shot and leave us with Bette Porter as President. I just love your writing I think I’m addicted to it. I didn’t eat tonight (I’m in boarding school) so I could be on the computer as soon as possible in case you finally posted the long awaiting chapter 200 aka Ella Kennard Porter birth. Even if The L wing is my favourite story, I remember how much “When love breaks down” had make me sad and how much fun I had, reading “The Long and Winding road”, it got me to this awful season 3. I love the way you use words and I just love you always have the right words to describe very complicated emotions. A Music teacher told me one day that everything simlple was usually the best. He was talking about the Beatles if I remeber correctly. So I guess that’s it. You’re my John Lennon (will you please stay away from a building called Dakota?)… Thank you so much for everything you write, it’s just soooo good to read.
Well that was definitly worth the wait. Excellent job. Tina and Ella are gonna be so spoiled by Bette.
How sweet, I am loving the non stop chapters that you’ve written! PPS!
Wow! Perfect! Thanks Ally! :D
