“You always did have a great brain “
“Which has not diminished with pregnancy – -what else did you and Shane talk about ?”
“We talked about how CJ was doing as Chief of Staff “
“She is doing brilliantly and you and Shane both know that “
“Sure but she was always a temporary post “
“WHAT ! “
“I will feel better when Shane is back on board “
“Okay – hold it right there Bette – have you thought this through ?“
“Of course “
“Really Ms Know-it-all – so – what role will CJ have when Shane comes back ? “
“Press Secretary “
“Okay – and what about Henry – I don’t see that he has done anything to warrant being demoted back to fielding the pressroom when CJ has to go to the dentist and CJ is a very good Chief “
“She isn’t Shane “
“Point two oh wise leader of the western world – how fit is Shane ? “
“See – I have thought about that – we have all meetings in her office “
“May I remind the President who is so hot on the protocol of your office that the President does not go to meetings in other people’s offices. You even get stroppy about meeting Peggy in her suite. What I am talking about is that Shane is not physically strong enough and certainly not mentally strong enough to come back to her job – not next week or next month. She went through a terrible ordeal – she nearly died and you are colluding with her to bring her back. You are selfish as well as arrogant Bette “
“Hang on “
“No Bette – you hang on for once. Shane would do anything for you. Don’t you get what I just said – she isn’t mentally tough enough “
“She asked me if CJ was better than she was “
“Bette – oh babe “
I sit down and taking her hand I bring her down beside me
“The job is hard – in a lot of ways it’s harder than yours. The hours are longer and she has to keep away all the people who want your time and think they should have unlimited access to you. Since CJ became your Chief she had to get security to throw out one ambassador who wanted your time over something that mattered not a jot to America, she has sworn at the Defence Secretary and told one the biggest contributors to party funds that you were in the Sit Room when he called drunk at 8am. Shane has been your bodyguard and best friend and most loyal sidekick forever. And she would get off her sick bed for you – hell I would do the same which is why I know that you have to be the one that stops her. Three people would put everything they have at risk for you at your slightest request – Alice, Shane and me. Hell we wouldn’t even have to have you ask us – we’d just do it. When I started as your Press Secretary Shane gave me this sword speech. About how you were such a great person that you would never sack any of us so we all had a sacred vow to fall on our swords. Well for once this isn’t about any of us doing something for you. You have to give Shane something back and what you can do for her is keep her away from the 24/7 pressure of the job. I know she loves the job and maybe she’s afraid that you won’t want her back but this goes above the job and the office. This is about a young woman who you took off the scrap heap that society had cast her on and she went on to become a great political operator. She owes you a lot Bette and you owe her more. And payback is keeping her away from the job so she can fully recover from being imprisoned. She’s having nightmares- did she tell you that ?”

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!
