THE L WING
Chapter 216
Narration of First Lady Tina Kennard Porter
The alarm is due to sounds at 7 – it doesn’t because I am already awake. Ella woke up at 5:30 demanding feeding and a clean diaper and lots of cuddles. I know that Bette is tired – it was just before 10 when she got back last night with the various dramas that are going on in the world that are demanding her attention. She managed to get back in time to give Ella her bottle and hold her as she drifted off to sleep again. After the feeding Bette has to leave me again to go back to work to talk to the British PM about the current run on the dollar and a worrying situation that is developing in Afghanistan. I think it was close to 2am when she finally slipped into bed beside me – I do have a memory of her snuggling up to me and falling asleep before we had any conversation.
So when CNN tell me that’s its 7am I pour Bette a coffee and go into our room to wake her up. She could do with a late sleep but she has Senior Staff at 8 so I need to wake her up. I sit on the edge of the bed and stroke her face – she stirs but shows no sign of waking up
“Come on Bette – wake up honey “
“Leave me alone “
“Sorry Bette – coffee for you “
“Do I get a kiss from our daughter ?”
“When you are awake – – yes you do “
Bette opens her eyes
“What time is it ?”
“7AM “
“God – 5 hours sleep “
“Yeah – how are things ?”
“Trying to stabilise a volatile economic situation as well as the Middle East and Afghanistan is enough to give anyone a headache “
“You love it “
Bette smiles and accepts the coffee “ Yes I do – I am going to find it odd when someone else is running the country “
“Plenty of time yet “
“I hope so “

Tina for President? Hell yeah, she would get my vote. Great update, thanks Ally.
Let’s see, dynasties in democracies. John and John Quincy Adams, I guess that wasn’t so bad. The Roosevelts were more distantly related in time, politics, and situations-harder to compare. Then we have the Bushes, the first wasn’t so bad but I don’t think I need say much about the son. And in south Asia, the Gandhis and Bhuttos along with the Kennedys here have found trying to continue at the apex of power a deady proposition. Tina better think hard.
Loce how Tina and Helena were playing with Ella. Tina for President, would Bette go for that,she would know the work time energy and effor that would go into that. thanks
I’m glad Tina doesn’t want to adopt Leigh’s child. It just seems problematic. Plus, Leigh is going to have to name the father. You can’t just terminate his rights without consent. I’d say birth certificates are public knowledge where you need to name the parents. So, her childish covering up for some married dude will not last long. I’m all for adoption but inside this family it looks more like covering things up. Loved the little family scene. Can’t wait for more of those.
tina better be sure she wants to give up the breat feeding. its truly a gift from heaven. thx
Oh!:)
I agree with Tina about raising Leigh’s baby. Leigh doesn’t realize how she would have to cope with seeing Bette and Tina raising her child that she gave birth to. I couldn’t do it. Great update. Really missed this story, as with all of the others.
Whoa! A potential Kennard-Porter dynasty in America? I’d rather see them negotiate the remaineder of Bette’s last term as a couple and as parents before I even begin to consider that. This is the 216th chapter of this President Bette-journalist/First Lady Tina saga. I imagine the difficulty of sustaining the drama and your interest in this long, drawn-out story. I give props to you, ally! I never thought I’d buy Bette as POTUS and Tina as FLOTUS but you totally sold them to me. In my book, the 200th chapter, when Tina gave birth to Ella, ranks as the best chapter of all. Every small detail was in place, every emotion was heartfelt and the dialogues were spot on. Thanks for not getting tired to write this story, ally! More power and love to you! :>
That was good and Tina gonna run for President, that would be so cool, Madam Kennard Porter wow! Please post more, thanks!
OMG president kennard porter,lol ya never know. what very nice update, great conversation with helena and tina. :)
You re a star. Two stories in one day – brilliant. Another great chapter.
Hooray; what a lovely way to begin the day
mmmm i’m not so sure about pres. T; feel they could do better things. pps
This chapter was so fun. Helena and Tina playing with Ella was so cute! And what an ending, future President Porter! :)
Wow two posts in one day.We are lucky.President Tina sounds good.
I don’t have much to say today Ally except I’m still reading and still loving it. Thank you. Md
Another great chapter from you AllyE and I NEVER tire of reading this story or anything from you, well…maybe not anything, I will not read the Bette and Helena pairing you have going. I am a firm believer in TiBette only. You have done wonders with this story and Tina as president is a very interesting proposition. Funnyone had a point except that this is fiction, you can make anything happen, good or bad. The only constraint you have is to make it look good and read well, make sense and last long. It is your choice. Would be very interesting. Leigh needs to get off her high horse, and Tina is right she is acting like a first class brat. She is in no position to demand anything. She wants to be careful and not alienate the family she has and seems to want very much. They have taken her into the fold w/o question she needs to evaluate that and question if she really wants to jeopardize that relationship. Tina should tell her she is acting like a prize brat. Thanks again AllyE.
