THE L WING
CHAPTER 285
 
NARRATION OF PRESIDENT BETTE KENNARD PORTER
 
I open my eyes with a start when the phone rings – damn and blast – what is the freaking time ?
I reach out a hand and grab the phone
“Hello “
“Morning Madam President “
“CJ – what time is it ?”
“Sorry about this – its 4:27am “
“Oh holy hell – what’s wrong – I take it that something is wrong ?”
“Sorry to say yes – problems in Afghanistan – can you come to the Situation Room ?”
“Okay “
“With luck you should have this under control before the First Lady gets back”
I roll over and look at the First Lady sleeping peacefully beside me
“Well we might have another security incident on our hands CJ because a woman who is the
First Lady’s doppelganger is asleep beside me right now”
CJ pauses and laughs “Ah – that will teach me to make assumptions – what time did she get
back ?”
“I think I woke up and she was there – it was after 1am – that’s all I remember “
“Sorry –you wont have much sleep then “
“We had a brief chat but I was worn out “
“Sorry again – and I do know you were hoping to have most of today free “
“Can’t be helped – okay – give me 15 minutes and I will met you in the Situation Room “
I put the phone down and look at Tina – she had no idea how much I have missed her. But
then again I guess I have no concept of how badly she has missed Ella and me. Roll on the days when 4:30am calls to the Sit room are Peggy’s problem and not mine. I lean over and kiss my wife and reluctantly get out of bed and head off for a cool shower to wake me up.
I am half dressed when Tina opens her eyes
“What’s going on ?”
“Its okay – you can go back to sleep honey “

Wonderful AllyE. I wholeheartedly agree with Jackee and Azmama. You have a better knowledge than a lot of us on this side of the pond and I find that fantastic. Love the chapter. Loved Tina’s comment about Peggy and her salty mouth. There is something emotionally wrong with a person that does not like children and especially by the person with whom you are supposed to be in love. And when one would rather leave the relationship to not be near and have nothing to do with a child says an awful lot about that person’s emotional development. Helena is well rid of Ms. Alana and her aloofness, she should not hold out hope for Alana returning to her at anytime. She will not, it’s not about being tied down by a child, she used that scenario to get out of the relationship, she doesn’t seem to want to be very close to anyone, because she was never at home anyway, always on the road supposedely working. I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts that she already has someone waiting in the wings that she has been involved with in Europe. For Helena’s sake, hope I’m wrong but I don’t think so. Great chapter. Thanks for posting.
It hurts to see that Helena will have her child by herself when she i till in love with Alana. what is wrong with children? Then again if she does not want children then Helena is better without her. This Helena deserves to be happy and her child needs another parent. But as usual, i leave it to you Ally because you are so great at refreshing the story that I am not worrying at all. You rock, you know that?
Thanks for the update, and looking forward to more.
Bravo.PPS
Thanks for thinking of me. Close to 300 chapters to this story is fairly amazing, is it not? It is still fresh and interesting. And imagine, a Brit writing the damn thing! :-) You write w/a good sense of American politics and a clear sense of humor. My request is, and I ask humbly, maybe a raunchy, wild NC-17 as they used to have before they became so “mommified” and serious? Bette especially seems worn out and while she is absolutely devoted to Tina perhaps a long, balls out love fest would rejuvenate them both? After all, a girl’s gotta have fun, right?
