You’re my home – chapter 36
You’re my home
Chapter 36
Tina did feel a little guilty being the only one of the family who could bear to eat anything at the moment. Angie was slightly better – sleeping was helping her – as was being so close to both her mothers. Bette was grumpy and when she had seen Tina getting out the ingredients of a meal she had let Tina know what a mean person she regarded her lover as. So Tina had waited until Bette had fallen asleep and fixed herself a chicken salad. She had retired outside with it and a couple of bottles of beer and a packet of potato chips.
Only if she was alone would she be able to eat without the guilt that both her two girls would attempt to induce in her. Tina was just finishing the chips when she heard someone open the side gate. In a few seconds Helena appeared – she was carrying a couple of bags and a bunch of flowers
“Hey there “
“Hia – I gather its nurse Kennard today “
Tina raised her eyebrows
“Shane texted us to tell us that Bette and Ang aren’t well. I come with gifts for them”
“Thank you Helena – that is very kind of you “
“And flowers for the long suffering nurse “
“Ain’t that the truth” Tina laughed “ These are lovely – sit down while I get a vase for these”
“I hope Bette won’t mind me buying you flowers – its just a joke “
“Its okay – she’s cool about our history – come and see the invalids “
Helena followed Tina into the house which was in relative darkness. Tina gestured with her head to the sofa. Helena saw Bette lying on her back asleep and Angie lying snuggled close to her mom.
“They are two peas in a pod aren’t they “ Helena said quietly
“You have no idea how alike they are – not just in their looks. They are both terrible patients – I got roundly booed for daring to have something to eat – so I waited until they were asleep “
Tina found a vase and filled it with water and quickly arranged the flowers. Happy she indicated that they should go outside. Helena had been standing watching Bette and Angie sleeping – she had no doubt that Angie was going to grow up and be every inch Bette’s daughter – she was going to be a heartbreaker and she was already giving enough evidence that she was going to be a smart cookie. Tina retrieved another couple of beers and they went outside

I am one silent dutch reader en I love your stories your a great writer don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
Ally, please don’t let a person, who clearly has no respect for other people what so ever, influence your writing. I have been eagerly awaiting your next post, because to be honest, I truly think you are one of the best writers of this site. I love your stories!!!! I trutly respect you and you amazing wrtting skills.
Welcome back, Miss Emmerson. Long time no see. So Bette tastes better when she’s not been puking? Brave of Tina to kiss her on the mouth given the circumstances. Reminds me of watching “The Way We Were” when Barbra kissed Redford after his character hurled from drinking indiscriminately. The whole audience almost followed suit.
Great to see you back. I’ve missed your stories.
As a normally silent lurker, let me assure you that you are a great writer and a very amusing person. As an ex-Cardiff City boot girl (soul crew) I’d love to sort them out for you. Don’t let this inadequate slug get you down – her slime trail will lead to her demise
Hi Ally! I for one have missed you and your stories very much. You’re an exceptional writer and I love reading your stories. I believe 99.99% of the readers feel the same! I’m sorry you’ve been personally attacked and it’s a shame that we have people who would have the nerve to do that. Please don’t let that deter you from continuing to do what you definitely have a gift and talent for! I’m glad to see your return and look forward to more of your posts. Much love!
I’m one of your silent readers, but i wanted to say i LOVE ALL your stories. So PLEASE DON’T let one person? put you off writing. WELCOME BACK.
Normally I am a fairly silent reader, but after reading your AN, I feel I have to comment, not just on this story but for all your stories, they are phenomenal, DO NOT let one sad individual stop you from posting your work. As all have said, ignore the 0.00001% & listen to the other 99.9999% or us when we say you work is fabulous. It was great to see your post today, I miss all your stories, so go on, for me PPS :¬)
you’re back!!!! you know, a few days ago I was reading ‘Bette and the dalmatian’ (have always loved that short story) and i was thinking about you… good to have you back! And don’t let 1 insignificant a$$ discourage you from writing…→ WELCOME BACK!↠=) You’ve been sorely missed! Please post soon!
Welcome back Ally… You have been missed… although I can say that I understand why you felt you needed the break. Please don’t let the bs of one stop you from doing something that you love doing. You are an extremely talented writer and one of the reasons that I decided to post my story. Thank you for deciding to come back to us and share your talent once again!
yea you are back! I cannot believe someone did that..!? Crazy..you do have a life besides here and well..that your time. Good stuff..we missed you
Hey mate, another silent reader here! I am also sorry about that unfortunate situation you were in. You are indeed a great writer and like a lot of other fans, I truly appreciate the time you take to write and to share your talent. Please don’t let this ruin the great time we all have here. You have been missed and I cannot wait for more updates on your current stories and for more new ones! Welcome back and thanks for the post!! xoxo
welcome back ally,i have never commented on your stories,but i have to say you are one of the best writers on this sight don’t let one stupid person stop you from writing your stories thy are are awesome.there is always one bad apple in the bunch. now i can go read your chapter.
Welcome back, you write it, I”ll read it
Ally, I am one reader who has been here from the very start, I love the way you write and how much love you put into your stories. That one person is just mean and hateful. Glad to have you back and hope you stay. Love this story so much!!! Thank you PPS
I am another silent reader that love your stories. That’s true, you’re a great writer. I don’t say it often enough I guess. I look forward to read all of your next posts.
Ally, unfortunately I don’t have time to read this now, but believe me, i will as soon as possible. Just wanted to say, I can’t believe someone (from the site!!!) did that to you. This is just scandalous and revolting. You’ve been dearly missed, that’s for sure, but every single writer on this site has the well-deserved right to take a break, whatever their reason, it’s their business, and even stop writing if they want. This person has violated your basic right to freedom, and that’s just disgusting. Welcome back Ally, your place on this site is still warm and we all hope that you’ll never turn away from it. But again, like everyone else, it’s your call and we’ll respect it! Glad to have you back, K;)
As a new writer who has also lived through a few verbal private and public tongue lashings (although mine were in regards to my content) I completely understand your hesitation in returning. I was contemplating the same thing until i received a few emails encouraging me to continue. You made the right decision. Look at all the silent readers that came forward! That alone should demonstrate how much we enjoy you’re work, Please continue.
I was so happy to see a story from you today, and then so sad when I read your author’s note. That’s terrible that someone would feel the need to attack you like that. I hope all the positive comments about you and your writing will help make it better. I love your writing, and I have missed seeing your stories these last few weeks. I hope you will continue posting!
Yea! You’re back!!! Why do we pay attention to the one or two rude and ignorant people that comment to us. Don’t dwell on the assholes. Remember, just as we have a remote for the TV and can select another channel, she can choose not to read your stories. It’s as simple as that. If she’s violating online etiquette especially in a vile way then report her to the admin. Please don’t punish your appreciative fans for one rotten apple.
I agree that you should turn that rude person over to the moderators now before they send another rude message. You are an exceptionally talented writer and we are blessed beyond measure to have you writing for this site. Don’t let one mean person make you think you are any less fantastic than you are!! You keep writing. We’ll keep reading. Forever a loyal fan!
Welcome back Alley! Sadly in life there are some very nasty people & so it would seem here too. I think all the above comments are testimony to how we all feel about such personal attacks & our support in outting them. It also shows how much we all love your stories. Respect!
Thanks for the update. I just finally got caught up with this story and was really jonesing for more. I love all of your stories and look forward to them. try not to let the a$$holes get you down!Thanks for your stories!
Glad you are back.
Allye…I am also mostly a silent reader that has been here since the very beginning…I was so excited that you had posted today…I extend my sincere thanks to you and all of the other authors on this site for giving any amount of time that you can spend writing and then sharing your works with us…It has afforded me many hours of entertainment. Please know that you are appreciated.
Glad to see you back and posting.
Personal attacks are never justified! Sorry to hear what you’ve been through. Glad you are back!
Hey there my dear friend! I’m glad you made it back and just know, we’re in your corner always. When someone puts as much into other’s entertainment as you do, there really is no excuse for someone to act as you’ve described. Wonderful as always….*HUGS*
Obviously Jealousy has reared its ugly head in a minority of people. If they had even one ounce of your talent, they wouldn’t feel the need to attack you for having a gift as you do. YOU are brilliant. They are NOT. People on this site want to read your stories, they want to hear what you have to say, and they respect and admire you, and your writing. Please do not let a small minded, ignorant person lead you away from your admirers. You deserve the accolades, if they were as good as you, they would be getting them too, but obviously by their reaction to you they are not. You are one of the best our there Ally, we appreciate and respect you. Please don’t let them ruin it for the rest of us.
Ally, it is quite obvious that you are one of the best writers on the site. Sorry this person has made you feel bad but you shouldn’t believe anything other than you are talented and outstanding as a writer (and I’d imagine as a person). You write, we’ll read. Thank you.
Ally, so good to have you back. And so sorry that someone who doesn’t represent all of us who absolutely love your stories and who understand that you sometimes need a break. Keep up the excellent work.
“Be Who You Are and Say What You Feel Because Those Who Mind Don’t Matter and Those Who Matter Don’t Mind.” …and whoever this “person” is surely Doesn’t Matter. You’ve still got it babe! You always will!!!! Nothing can stop the Great One!
Welcome back ally! forget about that crack pot who has attacked u personally. there is never any rush to posting… can’t wait for you update the other stories!! okay so what does tina have planned?? :)PPD
Hi AllyE, can’t imagine that someone would do that sort of thing but i know they do. So sorry this has happened to you. PISS ON’EM, whomever it is. Please go ahead and post what the miscreant wrote and let the Mods deal with them and us too. WE LOVE YOUR WRITING. In fact, I have been reading from the beginning of Wing and everything else that you have posted, because I had gotten off track and did not get back to Wing until about chapter 67 so I had to go back to the first part, you are one fantastic writer. Please continue. I thought maybe you had started working on your own work and that’s why you were absent from us. We care about you please don’t leave us. I have not read this chapter yet but I will get back to it tonight. Please DON’T LET THESE PEOPLE UPSET YOU, they aren’t worth it. You are a very talented lady and I hope to read your work in book form in the not too distant future.
Damn girl welcome back…I have been checking out the site every day hoping to see a chapter from you and today was my lucky day…pay no attention to the people who try and bring you down because the people who support you on this site must far outway the rude ones. all that said I hope you keep posting and I am so looking forward to a chapter from L wing :)
I was so happy to see a post from you. You have been greatly missed !!
Hey Ally…it’s great to have you and this story back. This is another case where the one spoils it for the many. Ally, you are a wonderful writer and the vast majority of people of this site recognize that. Please don’t let the voice of one drown out those who love your stories. I suspect that that was the person’s purpose…don’t let them win! Great update to a beautiful story!
Welcome back. I love your stories and don’t listen to those idiots who don’t.
Ally, we all write for different reasons, and we post on this and other sites for different reasons. Feel confident in your reasons, and then let any negativity pass right through you. Who knows what possessed that person to write what they did to you, but I can bet that it had nothing to do with you and your wonderful writing, and everything to do with whatever is going on for them. It is their shit. Ignore it, be strong in your own convictions…and nourish your passion. Sending you a full body hug! Thanks!!
Happy to see you back on this site. I love your writing. jinjur
Ally, I am a faithful fan and supporter and am so upset that anyone would attack you or criticize you for doing your own thing. You are an amazing writer and we are lucky to have your stories. Please know those who love and support you are WITH YOU always. Loved the update – and report the creep now and move on with all of us cheering you on.
I have only a few and you are one of them, and that would be a favorite writer!
Ditto as to what mc said. I am a huge fan of your work and have read everything that you have written more than once. Unfortunately, there are jerks in this world. Please don’t stop writing; you a such an inspiration for so many of us.
Ally I love your writing, and when I see a new chapter posted on one of your stories can’t wait to read it, and am never disappointed. You have contributed so much to the fanfic sites, and we really appreciate it. Please don’t be discouraged by some asshole with nothing better to do than send hate mail, just know there are a lot of us who truly appreciate your talent, and you make our days a lot brighter with your wonderful stories.
ALLLLYYYYY!!! OMG!!! so glad that you are back!! I imagined you were taking a break and was waiting for this moment to come a few weeks ago. Well.. sometime people is really mean.. and do things full of hate and dispect.. but Ally.. after winning 9 FF prizes and having almost half (and maybe a little more than that) readers from this site (and others) loving your stories and talking about them all the time.. you should just delete comments like that and show that person that you are 110% better than her/him, as we all know you are. Anyway.. happy to see you back posting and I’ll be waiting for all your new posts and updates!! PPS!!! Caro
I’ve never been anything but a silent reader, but felt compelled to comment. Ally, I do hope you realize how the vast majority of readers on this site values your writing. It pains me to hear that someone would attack you personally, not simply because of your extraordinary writing, but because no one deserves that kind of attack, and this site should be a place for kindness and support. I do hope you’ll keep writing, for selfish reasons of course, as I love your writing, but only do it because it’s what you love to do. And no one can (or should try to) stop you from doing what you love.
Hi Ally, welcome back! First, let me say I had no idea why you took a break, but figured you needed it to re-charge your batteries and you would be back as you always do. Anyway, I’m very sorry you’ve had to put up with such a rude and ignorant person. There is absolutely no reason for someone to treat you that way. You should publish what they sent you and have the mods deal with them now. Don’t give them another chance at saying something so hurtful. You are a great writer as are many others on here and I for one enjoy reading all the different stories about the girls. Not all stories are for everyone and that’s why there is a choice in what we want to read. If they don’t like a story then don’t read it a move on…no harm done. I wish for you to continue and hope you’ve seen the last nasty comment. Now I’m off to read this chapter. Again, welcome back….you were missed!!!! :)
You are a terrific writer and don’t listen to one person’s Bullshit. 99.99999% of readers love your stories. Please continue writing and posting, I love all the stories you tell.
long time no post..great update though
HEY!!
Ally, you’re one of my favorite writers. Ignore the haters.
Another silent reader on your side. You write wonderful stories and we’re glad when you do..
HEY AllyE, I am elated that you are back posting more delightful additions to your wonderful adventures and horrified at the reason behind your extended absence. You are quite entitled to comment about a personal attack and bring in the full backing of the administrators. This site is about freedom and acceptance. OK, people should be able to comment if they don’t like a story however this should never be a personal attack on the author. Easiest solution is say your objections and then move on. Read a story that you do like and appreciate. I am completely appauled by this heinous act and hope that this is the end of it.Personally, I thoroughly enjoy your marvelous melodrama and comment when I can. I am honest and open about how I feel and think about your stories. This chapter was so sweet and tender as Helena opened Tina’s eyes up to her lover’s thought process. Sometimes it does take an outsider to show us the wood from the trees. Helena was great here, giving a balance of concern and admonishment to Tina. Then Bette’s confession was precious as she realized that she should have made more of an effort to share her decision with Tina. This is something that affects both of them therefore a bit more discussion would have been waranteed. Just prefection in a chapter. Loved every word. Much gratitude from Your Loyal Fan.
Hey Ally, you a good writer my friend, don’t listen to any crazy and stupid peoples, they don’t know what are they talking about, forget about them my friend. That was good and love B&T, let what Tina gonna reward Bette. Please more, thanks!
hi ally… nice to see you back. you have really been missed! sorry to hear about that unfortunate encounter. i have enjoyed your stories and have resorted to reading some of them again while waiting. thank you for sharing your talent with us!
I call these people SOUR GRAPES. You are doing something that they can do,Write beautiful stories that all enjoys, You give us your time, and if I dont like a story on this site I do give it a chance, Them I just skop over it. If I have something to say. I’ll say it here so everyone call read it,good or bad. I love how Bette has change,One thing we know she loves her family Thanks so much for posting again.
welcome back, you were missed!! The “one” who insulted you, is one out of the thousands who read your fabulous stories, and the idea you have about posting there pms to you on here and sending it to the moderators is a great idea. I know no matter what is said and begged of you if you decide to leave the site, you will. Just please remember that there are a majority of fans that love your work and wait, pray, beg that you update, continue to write and not leave us. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE L WING , SOMETHING SO RIGHT, YOU’RE MY HOME AND SOME OF THOSE NEW STORIES YOU HAVE ELUDED TOO!! PPS!! goes without saying, but I say it again PPS!!!
Hi allyemmerson.I have never post before, because my english is very bad (I’m french, nobody is perfect !).You are a very good writer. You made me addicted to your stories, in particular “The L Wing”. I loved “All you need is love”. I’m sad and desappointed than a person has made a personnal attack on you. I missed you allyemmerson. Thanks to be back.
Nice chapter. I like that B&T are learning how to talk and trust each other again. I still think Tina can’t believe all the changes Bette has made. Glad Bette is stepping up to the plate in this re-built relationship. PPS
Welcome back Ally, I have missed your writing. I am sorry to hear that one has attacked you personally. I read your stories now for almost 2 1/2 years and I love them. You have a large fan community which aside suits you. Your writing is unbelievably excellent. You have legitimately got 9 Awards. Usually I comment here very reserved and primarily not personal. But if one tries to degrade a human being, then I get furious. How the name FanFic already says these are invent stories. People how doesn’t like it, doesn’t need to read it. Such comment that you received – don’t let it get to you. There are always people who must grumble at everything and everybody or even worse. They are disturbed or unripe in my eyes. Don’t let yourself encourage of this. People who publishes their stories here write because they enjoy it. They aren’t literature prize-winners and this is good so. They write from their heart what they feel and think. And they are really talented. If this person has the courage, then she shall do it publicly. I am one of your fans which will stand you aside. Don’t hold yourself back because one notices how important it is for you to write and it shows in your stories. You admit many hours amusement to love and to suffer with our B & T couple, laughing and crying. Please Ally stand strong and don’t let it get to much to you. A loaly and faithful Fan and thanks vor coming back.
I will personally take on your detractor, just say the word. Glad to have you back
