The L Wing – chapter 200
I didn’t faint – I don’t even remember seeing the blood – what I remember is the few seconds after Ella had emerged and before she screamed. It was the worst few seconds of my whole life – the baby was just silent and I swear my heart just stopped beating. But Pam was so calm and just looked at me and told me that everything was fine.
One of the things that Tina had insisted on was being naked – she had no qualms about her body. She had also talked (behind my back) to Pam about who was going to hold her. Pam took Ella and rubbed her with a towel and then handed her to me to pass to Tina. That was one of the moments I will never forget. I don’t care what Ella does or becomes in the future – I will always remember her lying naked against Tina’s naked breasts when she was all of a minute old.
The next hour is a blur – mainly because I was crying a lot – but I do know that Ella was given the standard Apgar test and came through it with flying colours – heart rate – first class – everything as it should have been. I stood and watched all the tests being done and having it explained to me what the test was for and what scores Ella was getting.
I managed to miss seeing the afterbirth emerging which was more because I thought that it was pushing my luck to risk it.
I am just moving my body in the chair when a small noise next to me makes me turn and look at the crib beside me. I get up and look inside at my beautiful daughter – she is perfect – everything I dreamed. She is still pinkish and her head is a funny shape but as I knew what to expect through my very extensive reading I didn’t freak out.
Very carefully I lift her out of her crib – she is asleep as well. Oh God make me worthy of this tiny baby – mind you tiny is not strictly true – Ella arrived in the world at a very good 8lbs 10ozs. Already she is bigger than Sophie – a fact I will be boasting about when I ring Shane to tell her all about our miracle. And as I recall I owe her some money for a premature baby charity.

Beautiful! Just beautiful. PPS
I haven’t commented on a story in two years. I have read L Wing atleast three or four times and just about everything else you have posted. I’ve seen you progress from being a good writer to one that is the mark by which others are judged. On days when the current postings are less than fullfilling, I go back to your stories and my heart is off again on a wonderous journey. I don’t know what spurs you to devote so much time and detail to entertaining us. But, I want you to know your efforts don’t go unnoticed. I sincerely thank you. What you write is important, it touches lives around the world. Many great writers have been on the site and thrilled us with their fantastic stories. But few have come back with multiple offerings that go on for years and continue to keep our eyes glued to the computer screen. Thank you Ally and congratulations.
Bravo to Ally, Bravo to all Brits (and one skillful brilliant brit in question ie YOU !!) and finally bravo to a beautifully written story.I congrat you on 200 chapters of a great story and I look forward to the next 200!!I have followed this story from day 1 and look forward to every posting.Thanks for sharing and bring on the next 200 chapters !!!
I love this story. Another great chapter.
Love the chapter as I have loved this story from the beginning. When the writing is as enthralling as yours, it’s easy to buy the premise. Thank you for sharing your wonderful imagination and kudos for the well-deserved nominations!
bringing on a twist eh??? is it postpartum depression??? is Tina gonna have some sort of complication??? be gentle with whatever it maybe ok???
ally, What dedication and steadfastness on all your writing. At first, I couldn’t buy into Bette Porter as POTUS but you have made it seem perfectly achievable. Brava!
Another beautiful chapter! I’ve been hooked on this story from the very beginning. You’ve done a wonderful job with this and all of your stories. Keep them coming!!
I have tears in my eyes. Such a beautiful chapter and such a wonderful birth experience for Tina, Bette, and Ella. We all know this is fiction, but you have created such a wonderful relationship that it becomes like a healing miracle to participate in such a nurturing fulfilling committed relationship. Thank you.
That was a wonderful chapter AllyE, you have almost outdone yourself. And little Ella is just peachy, Bette and Tina are so proud. will be happy when everyone else sees her, especially Kit.Loved it. PPS
Wow that was beautiful and amazing, so happy for B&T. Please post more, thanks!
im still trying to figure out tucking food in??? is that why people in your country arent fat??? they tuck food in?? ;) great chapter. thanks.
i didn’t expect to have the 200 chapter that soon. congrats!! and please keep it up. i love how bette cursed lucy in the last chapter, i laughed at it. baby ella seems healthy and it’s nice. i suddenly thinking of shane, just make her a VP as she’s very loyal to bette. and, hey, how funny you are talking about the thing to do on the changing table, lol
Lucky Ella!!!! very sweet.
:D that is really really sweet. Ok… I saw that Tina planned to feed the baby for 6 months… babies starting to have teeth at 4th month right? Or am I wrong? hmm… ouch… :S Congrats on the 200th chappy :)
Beautifully written.
Wow, great chapter. Very realistic as well. My darling wife was in labor or 22 hours with our son and you have described it perfectly. Thanks so much for this story. I remember when I first came across it (about 180 chapters ago!) and thought, what a strange concept but felt compelled to read it. And I was hooked. You’ve done a superlative job with this for a Brit!! Thanks for your generosity. Lin
This will bring back good memory for a lot of Moms. You forget the pain of having the child and remember the beautiful miracle that you have in your arms and the love you have in your hard. Someone told me they walk on your heart and then your feet. then your heart again. thanks for this wonderful chapter and for your work,time energy, and effort for 200 chapters.. thanks
What can I say. Absolute great as always. Thanks
I;know I’ve already said it but God, you’re good. Hope Tina won’t be suffering of what us French, call baby blues too much. You know, The L wing was the first L word fanfiction I’ve ever read. An,d now that I see the US elections coming I feel so weird, wondering if Hillary is gonna win, get shot and leave us with Bette Porter as President. I just love your writing I think I’m addicted to it. I didn’t eat tonight (I’m in boarding school) so I could be on the computer as soon as possible in case you finally posted the long awaiting chapter 200 aka Ella Kennard Porter birth. Even if The L wing is my favourite story, I remember how much “When love breaks down” had make me sad and how much fun I had, reading “The Long and Winding road”, it got me to this awful season 3. I love the way you use words and I just love you always have the right words to describe very complicated emotions. A Music teacher told me one day that everything simlple was usually the best. He was talking about the Beatles if I remeber correctly. So I guess that’s it. You’re my John Lennon (will you please stay away from a building called Dakota?)… Thank you so much for everything you write, it’s just soooo good to read.
Well that was definitly worth the wait. Excellent job. Tina and Ella are gonna be so spoiled by Bette.
How sweet, I am loving the non stop chapters that you’ve written! PPS!
Wow! Perfect! Thanks Ally! :D
