“You are not alone – you will never be alone – you will always have your father’s family”
Leigh nods and Bette wipes some tears from her eyes
“It’s just a lot to take in “
“It is – it is for all of us “
“I think that you two need some time alone – I am going back inside to talk to Melvin”
I get up and look at them
“You two are more alike than either of you see at the moment – spend some time together “
I move back inside and stand and watch them for several minutes before moving off and finding Melvin who is standing looking at the photographs that are on the mantelpiece – all of Maggie and Leigh at various ages.
“She is like Bette “
He turns and smiles at me “She is – where is she? “
“Talking to Bette – they are okay – Bette hugged her – that tells me that she’s accepted her “
“I was worried that she wouldn’t be able to deal with it “
“Every girl puts her father on a pedestal – I do and so does Bette -but she loves you very much “
“I told Bette that I want to make amends with Leigh and with your daughter “
“She told you ? “
“She showed me the sonogram “
“She takes it everywhere “
“Everything is alright ? “
“Everything is fine – I am slowly getting less tired and the doctors are very happy with me “
“When is she due ? “
“Beginning of September – which means I am going to be pregnant all the way through the summer which I am not looking forward to “
“You will get looked after like no other woman ever has “
“I know that – I just want a normal pregnancy Melvin “
“Will she let you ~?”
“You know she won’t “
He indicates for us to sit down and I face him. He still is a very good looking man – the photographs of him when he was younger show that he was a total lady killer . There is a sense of mischief in his eyes that I have always loved about him. He can look scary – I have seen him in action as a leading civil rights lawyer and he scared the life out of me. But suddenly he just breaks into a smile and everything about him changes. I know that history will mark him out to be a remarkable man – he spoke at the funerals of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King – and the father of the first African American President. He would have been a brilliant President but there was too much prejudice at the time – his daughter shattered the glass ceiling.

Funnyone – the person who bridged the ( agreed )disparate camps of MLK and Malcolm X was Ossie Davis – check his entry on Wikipedia -he was a fascinating man.I don’t do bad for a Brit eh ???
great chapter ally… the image of T, naked & pregnant comes to my mind… the one that appears at S2, chapter… 10, 11? a bit before Melvin died, she’s on her bed, sleeping… remember? Damn, that image was so hot… and if she’s awake now, damn!! LmaO! Please post soon, you’re doing an amazing job!
Get you! Now explain the Paul Carver thing from the other story.
great that bette and leigh are getting along, but wonder what bette will say about tina’s offer … i suspected that it will not be so good
AllyE, you do quite well as a Brit. I for one enjoy everything you write and youy have not disappointed us either. Your knowledge of our goings on across the pond is remarkable and you know just when to use it to its greatest advantage. Thank you.
Dainty is so right Ally. I dare say you know a great deal more about it than most Americans.
Excellent as always…and Tina posing like Demi huh? Now that is a conversation I can’t wait to hear…errr..read! LOL!
funnyone, Paul Carver…he’s a surgeon. Dr. Carver. ;) This was my mouth at the end of this chapter. =O lol
A pregnant Tina on the cover of Vogue? That’s an interesting mental image, Laurel Holloman was so beautiful and so brave in her acting pregnant. Tina could get the money for the Porter-Peabody fundation, it would be for a good cause, Can’t wait to read about Bette’s reaction to this possibility. Great chapter, you play so well with the emotions of everyone, and the chat between Tina and Melvin is a good opening to that biography book, these two think alike, they’re smart and sharp.
I’m trying to picture any one of the present and previous first ladies in tat sort of demi moore kind of cover page…let’s just say I’m having great difficulty visualizing it! As for Kennard…hmmm…me thinks Bette is going to issue an executive order when she finds out!!!
This similar to “An Indecent Proposal” in that there is a $1M prize for the photo. I actually think that it would be rude and disgusting for The First Lady of any country to do this. Can you imagine The Queen or Margaret Thatcher (when younger) or Princess Diana doing this? I think not.
Not too sure how P.O.T.U.S. Bette Porter will react to anything. She may be all for it, if it is done tastefully…the real question Tina needs to ask herself is how would it make her feel if Bette were the one pregnant and wanted to do this? Another great one Ally! You are THE BOMB!
Oh Ally…isn’t it great that even after so many chapters of this story you can still creat a stir!!?? :) I have to agree with azmama. Tina is the First Lady of the United States. Just because they are carving new territory as lesbians, doesn’t mean that she should disrespect that title. After all, this is a woman who has to meet and help create diplomacy with leaders around the world. Can’t imagine they would look at her with any kind of respect if she posed nude…or even semi nude for a magazine…any magazine. Demi Moore is a celebrity, an entertainer. Tina is not. Thanks for always making us think!!
is good to read how Bette and Leigh are handle the situation. Bette won’t be happy at all about the proposal that Tina got!
Well, I think George Bush has so thoroughly disrespected and disgraced the Office of the President that at this point nothing could bring anymore shame upon us so I say bring on the nudity!!
now that’s a cover i’d like to see…lol at bette’s possessive reaction and don’t blame her either!!!!great story …btw we don’t get Diva so hopefully someone will post …that woman is so damned photogenic…and sweet very sweetly sexy…yeah i read the next story but thought i’d comment once as i catch up on my reading; sounds like u had a nice holiday…and new ideas too…mmmmmmmmmm
Great how Bette is relating to Leigh. Can’t wait for her reaction to Tina being offered a Million dollars to pose naked while pregnant. That magazine better take cover.
She can say that again Bette will never let Tina’s body be photographed no matter how much money she is offered. For her eyes only!
Thank you Ally. I love your stories.Their are really fantastic. I do not become tiredly to read the stories . I hope they still go her further for a long time.
Re: the magazine cover. It’s been done. And done again, already. And Tina IS the first lady. And these days Demi Moore is Ashton Kutcher’s OLD lady. (And I say that with a certain amount of pain bein older than Demi). Tina doesn’t need the money, she should leave the offer on the table. And being so old, I’ve been trying to think of anybody who would have been able to bridge the highly polarized camps surrounding MLK and Malcolm X. I’m still thinking. Melvin is remarkable.
lol! I don’t think Bette will be thrilled either. But you know, that cover Demi did was beautifully done.
one million. theres alot i would be for that kind of money. thanks.
Good chapter!
wasnt it vanity fair, not vogue? oh well.
