THE L WING
CHAPTER 292
NARRATION OF FIRST LADY TINA KENNARD PORTER
　
　
Well there is no way I could have handled that WORSE than I just did. How to totally upset your wife in less than five minutes – that was some botch job Tina. I didn’t think that what was happening on TV was affecting me until the moment the body bag was removed from the charred premises under the clear sight of cameras. A black body bag – the culmination of almost six hours of wall-to-wall coverage on all the news channels. One simple black body bag.
That brought back memories of Afghanistan and Bosnia and Iraq and every other shitty hell hole I reported from. Despite all the therapy and I have made so much progress from my war-zone terrors – still the sight of that body bag and the knowledge of what a badly burnt body looks like just freaks me out. I started crying and didn’t stop for about ten minutes. Helena didn’t make the connection between my past experiences and how I react to the sight of the body bag – only Bette would. I couldn’t see anything apart from that bloody body bag and the possibility that Bette might have some part in the horrendous ending that Holly came to. Bette has always said that she would do anything to protect Ella and I and I have never doubted that word – the question – the dilemma is how far would she go to stop Holly ?
Without me noticing Ella has finally fallen asleep which allows me to put her to bed and I go looking for Bette. She is in the sitting room nursing a glass of scotch – a huge glass of scotch. I had half expected to be missing – she looked really hurt when I accused her and her first reaction is usually to go and hide. I sit down and face her
“How was Rio ?”
“Better than being here “
“Bette !”
“No Tina – how the hell can you even THINK it – how the fucking hell can you THINK that I would not only want Holly dead but actually have someone else carry it out “

oh wow, how is Tina going to straighten this one out? I think Bette letting Holly kiss her pales in comparison to Tina’s booboo. Sigh, I hope Bette forgives Tina. Best thing to do sometimes is to give your partner the space they want.
Hey AllyE, I just love reading your updates to this brilliant and funny read. It is such a shame that Holly’s death is causing more problems in Bette and Tina’s marriage than went she was alive. I am sure that good sense will come through and re-unite these lover. So sad and touching. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Stupid idiot indeed Tina!
Poor Bette. I can feel her devastation. I hope Tina will go after her to Virginia. They need to talk and forgive.
What Tina did was very wrong, more because Bette to guard a secret so that it reaches this point? Confidence has to come from two sides and apparently Bette did not trust in Tina. I still say which Tina was very understandable on Holly’s kiss in which Bette returned – EKA. Moreee.
Oh my, Tina really did mess up big time with this one. I understand why Tina wanted to know what Bette was planning to do since it was not a state secret but a personal secret of Bette. I think she should have told Tina what she was planning but given that she is President and that gives her autonomy for keeping secrets yet she should have trusted Tina with the info. Alice should be fired, if not worse, and Shane is already on thin ice, maybe it is time for them to go. And Helena, well, her tenure is questionable also. I want proof that it was holly’s body in that bag because I don’t believe it was, certainly possible. If she killed herself because she didn’t have a book written and she had taken the advance, that was stupid. She could have given the money back and told the publishers that she didn’t have the fiery info that she had told them. Or else someone needs to look into the actions of the IRS agent that hated holly for dropping him like a hot rock. Can hardly wait to see what happens next. Thanks for more drama AllyE. Can’t wait to see how you extricate Tina and Bette from being stupid with each other and restore their relationship to good standing. Glad you’re feeling better. Hello to Rocky.
Holy hell, Ally! When you say drama, you mean it. I feel so bad for Bette although I don’t understand her not telling Tina what she had planned for Holly. Curious to know how Tina will earn back Bette’s trust. Can’t believe Rocky fell asleep during Chicago Code! …of course, he is only 3 months old…
I was hoping I wasn’t the only one commenting that I understand Tina’s side of this. I think she handled it wrong, but Bette made things worse by keeping her secret. She thinks Tina doesn’t trust her, but she didn’t have trust in Tina to let her in on her plan. I hope Tina goes after her to Virginia. They need to talk things out or shout it out! Wonderfully written drama! PPS
Just b/c you are First Lady does not mean that you get to know all the secrets. Bette was protecting Tina. This way she knows nothing and does not have to lie. Seems as if Bette is usually the one to forgive. She forgave Tina knowing that she killed Bette’s lover. Tina better grovel big time.
This is heartbreaking, but I totally understand Bette’s feeling the way she is. Running away may not always be the best, but sometimes a time out is necessary in order to keep yourself from saying something in the height of your pain that you can’t take back. Thanks Your Majesty! :-)
Maybe you should asked that from the start Tina. Before Alice clouded your judgement. …It hurts not to be trusted..specially when the one who’s doing it, is your wife. Thanks for the post Ally.
Ally, So well written – I didn’t find it believable that Tina would go there but the PTSD part makes it more possible. She really blew it and Bette is so deeply hurt I wonder how trust will be restored.
Ps. I’m begging you do not let this stupid idea become public. Please.
Wow Tina good way to step in it up to your neck; good luck getting straightened out.
I cannot blame Bette really. There could have been a better way to handle it but I also understand her pain. This is so sad. :(
Oh Dear! I wonder how Tina’s going to sort this out. Drama Drama!
Oooppppssss Tina!!! you have really messed up. You better make amend. Alice lost it lol. It’s not funny but it is kind of lol Alice alwYs manages to create chaos. Thanks Ally for the post.
although i think tina should have shown more understanding of her wife and should have trusted Bette more but i hope bette doesn’t stay away for too long. not just physically but emotionally. At least Tina spoke straight from her heart and really wanted to keep communication open before Bette ran away. In a way, Tina was honest with Bette. She speaks her mind. Some couples just keep things bottled up and that is a recipe for disaster.
Nothing good ever came from running away, but I can´t really blame Bette for her reaction – I think it would have been mine too. Now let´s get that bodybag opened and see who´s really in there!
hey ally nice chapter.. poor bette It must hurt … but I hope they can talk soon pleasee… he fell asleep the last time he watched Chicago Code really??? jajajaja wrll he`s just a baby he`s 3 months and I dont know cats but babies sleep all the time when they are that age.. PPS
Tina really did mess up big time. Knowing Bette as well as she does how could she think she would ever do something like this? And even if she did have some small doubt in her mind why wouldn’t she just keep that to herself until she could get some kind of confirmation from Bette that she was just as shocked by all this as everyone else. I don’t see how their relationship will ever be the same after this and that makes me sad.
I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. But it takes a really skillful writer to portray things that way it is now. I love the next update soon. Thanks.
Wow! This seems like Tina trusted her ex more than her wife. To think that Her wife is president her ex is just her chief of staff; that peaks volumes of what is in someone’s heart. Tina’s actions did not dignify her relationship with Bette, not to mention the insult to her presidency. She is worse than Holly Lancaster, that was more than a back stab. Hmmm…
