The L Wing chapter 183
!”I figured you didn’t need to hear it – and I am not sure that Bette would care to relive it and
from what you have said Shane most certainly does not want to “
“No – no she doesn’t – how close to the edge did it go Tina ? “
“I saw the thermal imaginary of the house where she was and she was fading “
“How long do you think ? “
I shake my head “ Leave it Carmen. It’s not worth going over that again and again. What
matters is that she got out of it and she is getting better”
“It goes through my head a lot Tina “
I nod and take hold of her hand “ I know you do – we all do – I know that Bette does and you
have to live with Shane while she is reliving it “
“Tina – I have never asked you about what happened in Afghanistan “
“You do know what happened though “
“Yes – when you were – well when you were out of it Shane told us all – Bette had asked her to
“
“And you still wanted to work for me ? “
“It was an accident – you didn’t mean to kill the soldier “
I glance at her – does she know who the solider was ? It’s not worth rehashing the story
“What is happening with Shane ?”
“Bad dreams “
I nod “ The thing is that — well it sounds harmless enough but you get scared of your own
subconscious. Afraid of what it is going to dredge up. It doesn’t just replay what happened to you – it highlights details and blows them up and it takes things and twists them so viciously that its worse than the reality – its awful “
“You lived with it for years “
“You exist along side it – you don’t live with it. I guess the closest thing I can liken it to is
having a tapeworm – you know its eating away at you. Its awful Carmen – you have to make her get help. I know that she is so like Bette at times and if something happened to her Bette wouldn’t get treatment. She would see talking to a therapist as being a sign of weakness “

Way to leave us hanging ally I didn’t even see it comming. Well I know you will put us out of our misery when you get a chance and and I see my favorite of the three AYNIL is next so I wont beg to much but please let it be soon.
ally…you are very creative and imaginative to keep this story coherent yet fresh every chapter.
3lbs and 3 ozs is not so bad. I guess all the stress was too much for Carmen and the baby. Poor Shane..one more thing to worry about.
So I’m reading along loving the dialogue and all the time thinking this is “ally’ we are talking about when is some drama going to hit the fan…and then it did. You are the queen!
Great one AllyE. Happy that Shane is up and around and the baby only 3.3. With Carmen as big as a house, looks like we may have problems there. Hope it is not toxczemia.(sp)?. But that would explain the low weight and Carmen’s size. Hope everything is ok with Carmen, they don’t need those kind of problems right now. PPS.
WOW!!!! The Drama Queen is back and with full force. I do hope that the baby and Carmen are going to be fine. Please do not let Shane have her melt down just yet. I do hope that Tina can handle it. Thanks PPS
was so enjoying the chapter at first then the anvil. but 6 weeks. i like her chances also. my daughter has about a week to go. it will be my 3rd grandchild. cool. thanks.
a/e–A friend of mine had her first grandchild–a definite preemie, weighing in at just under 2 pounds at birth!! He is a real fighter and he is doing remarkably well. Thank you for continuing this story–this story concept has always been brilliant.
Good chapter. Good news Shane and Carmen welcome their new baby and hope Carmen and the baby are find. No drama please. Please post soon, thanks!
Damm Lady, you dropped a bomb on us. I love your stories and think you must be a very wise woman. And did you say we’re waiting for Tues. for another chapter, dang my nickers will be in a knot. Md
Gee, Ally, that wasn’t very nice of you dropping all that extra stress on Shane and Carmen (not to mention Bette & Tina and all of us.) But 6 weeks early? I like the kids chances.
wow 3lb 3ozs, i thought the doc said she was fine. would they have picked up that she was under weight during the ultrasound. guess she was gonna be small anyway. maybe she would have picked up another 2 or 3 in those six weeks. i wonder if carmen’s mom was obsessing about her eating as much as she was shane
great chapter, Bette is so lucky to have Tina beside her. Carmen and Shane’s baby is in the hospital i hope that everything will be ok for the little one.
Brilliant chapter, as always. Fantastic how you keep this story in top form… so intriguing, yet sweet and loving at the same time. Looking forward to the updates of the other two!!
A wonderful birthday present, thank you so much
Hey Ally, Good to see the comings and goings of the White House. I just love these intimate moments between all the characters. The dialogue just rolls along. Am in shock at your latest cliffhanger. I do hope that all is weel with Carmen and the baby. This will be a further shock for Shane and potentially for Tina. Bette needs to play this one out carefully. Brilliant as always, Your Loyal Fan.
Seems like the new team is good. But I hope that at the same time Bette is giving time to Shane for her recovery, she’s not let CJ to replace her completely. Shane is very intelligent, wise and thoughtful to me and I think she deserves even better than being a Chief of Staff (VP?)I like you write Joyce as one of the senior staff, I like this character. Great job and look forward to your next update!
