    Tina and Melvin work on his biography

    THE L WING

    Chapter 217

    Narration of First Lady Tina Kennard Porter

     

    “So tell me how you met Bette’s mom “ I say

    I am in the main sitting room of the Residence with Melvin. We have had a couple of sessions on his biography. At the moment we are trying to get a feel of what we are going to put into the book. While it will focus mainly on his work as a civil rights lawyer and the cases and the people he also wants it to be about Melvin Porter the man. At some point we are going to have to discuss Bette -potentially that could be a mine field but we also have to discuss his wife – the woman who gave birth to a President. I am going to have to strike a fine line between making the book something that people want to buy and read but also one that is sensitive to the feelings of my in-laws. Already Kit is muttering that the book could harm her family and its heightened the tension between the two of them -tension that is already there because of the whole mess of Leigh being pregnant.

     

     

    Melvin is sipping a cup of tea and relaxing in his favourite chair. I am sitting on the sofa – notebook on my knees and sleeping peacefully beside me is Ella who went crazy when she saw her granddad – its good that she is already so close to my parents and Melvin – that means a lot to both Bette and me.

     

    “Her mother was beautiful – have you ever seen any photographs of her ?”

     

    “When I was pregnant for some reason we went into the attic of the Virginia house one afternoon- there was one photograph I remember. One of the two of you dressed in old clothes painting. I had only imagined what she looked like up to that point. She was stunning Melvin “

    “She was “

     

    “What was she called ?”

     

    “Elizabeth Katherine – she would get called Katy or Libby “

     

     

    “Hence Bette “

     

     

    “I wanted to call Bette something else – but her mother persuaded me to call her after Elizabeth Cady Stanton -the social reformer “

    1. Hey AllyE, Just loved this fleshing out of Melvin, Kit and Bette’s past. These events shaped them all forever. I could really sense Tina’s empathy as she discovered hpw Bette’s mother had abandoned her as a child. Now the important thing is for Melvin to explain everything to Bette and hope that is will give them both some closure to these tough times. As ever you captured the sense of loss and confusion perfectly. Just loved it all. More please whenever you can. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.

    2. Loved this chapter Ally. Very touching. I agree with Tina about Leigh’s baby. I’m going through a very similar situation right now because my 16 year old niece who is pregnant and wants to give her baby to her aunt (my sister). I don’t agree with it for the same reasons that Tina said here. I like Melvin and I agree Melvin needs to talk to Bette. Can’t wait for the next chapter!

    3. It would be nice, if we could of gotten more insight into Melvin, and Bette and Kit, and their relationship, Just reading this, I feel like you have given us a back story, to how the dynamics of their relationship transpired into what it had become when Melvin was still alive. Thas a Biography I’d be happy to read. Continue, this chap brought a lil tear to my eye too.

    6. What a sweet chapter…Tina will have to give Bette some TLC after her long day…I like that Tina was truthful about Leigh’s baby…it is a good idea…

    9. Melvin needs to talk to Bette. Leigh need to take on this child. ……………she had the fun now she need the respondable of her fun time. She didnt get pg by her self. Take care and post real soon. thanks

    10. Lovely – and I’m so glad Tina didn’t take on Melvin’s job of telling Bette the truth. Also I love that Tina named Leigh’s behavior as manipulative.

    13. Whoa, Bette’s Mom was a real peach. Sounds like there are going to have to be a series of family sit downs to sort out the Porter clan. I love that Melvin and Tina are able to communicate, but that Tina is able to set down boundaries.

    16. The L-Wing is probably my favorite–although I do enjoy your other’s immensely too :) I hope you continue this one for a long time with no end in sight. I’m all for electing Bette to a third term or Tina taking the reigns :). Thanks for the post–you were undoubtedly missed!

    19. Ally, Just Great!!!! I am so loving this. Tina is so right Melvin needs to tell Bette all that he has told Tina. Leigh needs to grow up some and deal with the baby on her own with the help of her family. Thank you
