The L Wing
Chapter 254
Narration of President Bette Kennard Porter
I wake up with a stiff back and a headache that will just not go away – well if I will sleep in the rocking chair in Ella’ s nursery I pretty much get what I deserve. Last night while I was doing my best to make things better with Tina I actually managed to make things about several zillion times worse. She came back from her trip with Peggy really late – after midnight and she came down to the Oval with Ella who was really miserable because she has two teeth coming through.
We connected – for just a few minutes I really thought that Tina and I were going to make some headway but I must have been so tired – I put my feet right in the brown stuff. There was no reason to tell her that I was so angry yesterday that I said – in a Senior Staff meeting that I was thinking of not taking her to Dublin. But I told her – and what I expected the minute the confession was out of my mouth was to have her flail me – for her to lose her temper and give me the tongue lashing that I know in my heart I deserve.
What actually happened was several times worse – she just got up tears in her eyes and she walked out of the nursery. She could have shouted and yelled at me for ages and I would have had no option but to take it – I deserve it for being a jackass. I deserve it for the way that I have been treating her lately – she doesn’t deserve it.
Last night after putting Ella into her crib and making sure she was comfortable and sound asleep I went to talk to her but Tina had locked the door to the second bedroom and I could hear that she was crying. God – that sound –knowing that I had made her cry – that she didn’t want me to comfort her – that all she wanted was to be alone with her hurt and tears. I don’t remember the last time I felt this bad. All of my feelings are made worse by the knowledge that I am the reason we are not snuggling up together in our bed – holding each other and exchanging idle chat about our days as we drift off to sleep.

well quite the shitty morning for our bette – though i’ve got a feelin its about to get better! But before the hugs i do think bette needs to open up first and explain whats going on with her, tina can only take so much! pps
This is utterly good. Sooo good. Bette deserved all the lashing she got and thankfully, Tina did not do the same thing to her. Tina has all teh right in the world but for her not to, it tells a person how much she loves another. Thanks for the post! PPS
great, great chapter Ally…. Glad to see that Peggy, Alice and Lucy gave Bette a piece of their minds. About time that the President admits that she is falling apart… Of course Tina will be right there for her though
Finally Bette with a push from her support staff realizes her stoopiddity and thank god you have written a mature Tina who is so giving – thanks – hope they really reconnect.
GREAT!!!! Brilliant chapter. Love the ‘catch me’ line. Perfect. More soon plz.
oh my… I think one of the most excellent chapters I have ever read you write Ally … and do I have a lot on my top 100 list!! of yours . The ending was so great cannot wait until the next one.
Oh Ally it would b GREAT to have a 2 for Friday of TLW it’s been soooo long since u have graced us with such blessing. I loved how Tina came in there at the end. It tug at my heart strings, that’s Tina for ya one strong supportive loving woman. Totally looking forward to an update of this story…soon!
I love this story
Fantastic chapter, I ws engaged from the first chapter… Hope u post soon Ally…
Very uplifting end to the chapter and a tremendous update.
Aw AllyE, that was a fantastic update. And Tina, well, Tina is my girl. And what a girl she is, to come in and stop Lucy from berating Bette or just knocking the absolute hell out of Bette which she deserves for treating Tina the way she has. Bette is very fortunate to have a wife like Tina who is quite a lady with a big heart full of compassion and love for all things Bette. Tina could have bashed her just the same as Bette had done but instead took the high road and made Bette see what an ASS she has been to her, just in that brief moment when she told Lucy to get out and leave Bette alone. Tina is quite a lady and Bette should get down on her knees and kiss her feet and show her all the love she feels. Thanks for such a wonderful update AllyE. Have a great weekend and please post really soon.
Hi Ally,This has to be the most heart wrenching, but touching chapter I have read of this fabulous story. I know Tina can catch Bette. It is amazing how one’s childhood trauma can still haunt someone even when they are so successful as adults. Can’t wait for Bette’s healing.
I really think they need to TALK and re connect…some good old NC-17 loving to realize what they have and how it’s falling apart!!!
Bette just needs to fall and let Tina catch her….then they can build back up togehther. That is what it is all about. Thanks, Ally. pps
It’s amazing, you’re amazing. After 250+ chapters and this chapter was as compelling and fresh as the first few. Brava. ally. PPS.
WOW everyone is kicking Bettes ass and she falling down but Tina is there to catch her. Let them talk and work thing out. Please post more, thanks!
WooHoo! I’m first!!!!!
Looks like the President had an intervention. I wonder if there has been a first lady who wasn’t more popular than her husband since they started taking polls.
It’s time for Bette to get all her fears out in the open or she really could lose Tina. I think we’ve seen how bad it gets when you keep things bottled up. And she doesn’t want to end up like Shane. Great post. Great story!
could stay silent no more! Have read all your stuff for so long-this one my current fave with SSR. you are a fantastic story teller and i love the different sides of B&T that you give us!! never stop!!!
As President she needs to get her act together,go see Shane,get her on the road to being a human again. Them work on the president and them her home life. Her home life first them she will become the good president that she is.
fantastic update. Tina is simply amazing. i think her walking out instead of lashing out was the right thing to do. and her going to see bette in the morning – wow… bette better never doubt tina’s love again.
Of course Tee will catch her. Great chapter. It’s amazing what family dysfuntion early on can do to a person. Can’t wait for more.
glad peggy an alice gave it to bette!! bette needs to get her act together! :)PPS
Holy Hell I can’t wait for the update……I also can’t believe Tina came to see Bette, that’s about as big a thing that a person could do. Kudo’s to Tina for that…Bette just might have a chance at forgiveness…good luck….please ally please post soon
