The L Wing – chapter 208
“Foreign or domestic? I assume that you wouldn’t have disturbed my holiday if it hadn’t been important “
“It’s important and it’s close to home. Bette – you are not going to like this but please remember that I am the messenger. CJ was going to call you but I said that this has to come from me. I told her that you would hit the roof. Be aware that your daughter is in the room and you really do not want to be the one who says certain words in front of her “
“What’s going on Shane – however bad it is I really would like to hear about it and no I will not shoot you “
“It’s Tina . I have no idea how but there are photos of her “
“Right “
Photo’s of Tina – what sort ? From where ? From when ? From her past ?
“Taken in the last couple of days “
I can tell that Shane is picking her words with up most care,.
“Carry on “
There are times when I wish that Shane would be more like CJ who jumps straight in and tells me unpalatable information in one breathless sentence.
Photo’s of Tina taken in the last couple of days ? – breast-feeding ?
“You told me the other day that she is feeling pretty self conscious and fragile. Carmen also thinks that Tina is feeling that she hasn’t got his shape back the way that she has and it naturally bothers her “
“Tina’s having a few issues but she’s been much better in the last couple of days – is
this going to undo my efforts to reassure her that I love her ?”
“The photo’s are unflattering “
“How unflattering ?”
“She is walking round your estate with Lucy – near the stream which was why a long lens could get the shots. I have already spoken to Paula about increasing your security. Really it’s Paparazzi hit – candid and not good “
“Tell me honestly Shane and I promise not to yell at you – how does she look ?”

Yeah Bette, go to the bedroom, lock the door and give her a good tongue lashing, if you know what I mean. Gently. Slowly. And no entering. It’s strange how British the American president sounds when she starts getting all psycho, calling those who upset her wankers and wanting people and things to be sodded. Was Bette ever a landscaper? In England? But seriously, the president needs to get a grip on her revenge fantasies and a greater appreciation of the constitution she’s sworn to defend, including the bit about the freedom of the press. Even when they’re being churls.
oh wow, am I rally first? AllyE, what a chapter. Woe be unto the magazine idiot that wrote the article and took the pictures. Bette is not always attuned to things going on around her. She needs to get a personal trainer in for Tina and have her start with a therapist to get over the post-partum depression she is experiencing. Bette has to do this, like three days ago now. Hopefully she will realize that and get it in the works. Great chapter anyway because it woke Bette to the problems that Tina is experiencing. Most women go through it and some don’t ever realize what it is and they don’t get help. PPS
funnyone – i just spit water (alas no vodka, at work) all over my desk, you fucking crack me up. ally- sloppies and afters. you brits are just ‘funny’. thanks.
Great chapter as usual Alley. I don’t know anyone that went through this but I do know that it is a very real problem especially if left untreated. Now that Bette is aware she can get Tina the help she needs. She has some good ideas for keeping help around Tina as much as she needs it but she needs to also make sure she is there emotionally for Tina also. Bette better get thoughts of revenge out of her head it can never be personal when it comes to the POTUS or FL even though she feels the hurt just like any ordinary citizen. PPS
Poor T, I think B needs to meet T half way…T needs to start slow, and B needs to let her…As for the TLC…that needs to start too…Cum on Ally…
is Tina suffering from a bit of postpartum depression???? thanks for posting!!!
Tina’s got postpartum depression. Bette needs to get over her anger and get a therapist and a trainer in for Tina quickly. Once Tina addresses the postpartum, the other symptoms will slowly go away. PPS
I agree with everyone tina needs professional help here… once she is better than she can be spokes person for postpartum depression….. great update!
Ally – I agree Tina should talk to her former shrink and get some medical help with her depression – and Bette should love her up but she also needs more professional help IMO.
well i know one shouldn’t shoot the messenger but like Bette I wished Shane would friggin’ spit it out!!!! As for freedom of the press what about human rights and privacy rights? Are they NOT protected in the American constitution thay are in my country, no wonder Santana, Shania, Sigourney etc etc come south to get some peace. In NZ people just treat them like they deserved to be treated as human beings deserving of private moments and a few non-perfect moments or days!!! Damn the bastards who took the pix, damn Fox!!!! I would use all my presidential powers to jam their broadcasting without making it obvious it came from the Pres. of course, lets see them lose some $ afterall that’s all the bastards are interested in. I think this American focus on ‘body image’ is wacky and no wonder Michael Jackson, Lindsay Lohan, Britney (who I suspect is a lesbian in denial) etc are the MESS they are!!!! Geez I might be more angry than Bette at this moment and I don’t believe sex is the cure. Maybe T is developing post-natal depression…betta be careful whoever is gunning for her,women in post-natal have been known to kill and T’s capable of it. Bette should call the Doctor in, it’s amazing what medication can do…and improve security…I would have no naievity about protecting constitutional rights they are defied everyday if not every minute by Americans anyway including presidents SO go get ’em Bette!!!!!
Hey Rau, I’ve heard your country is lovely-perhaps that’s why the celebrities you mention went there. I personally saw Sigourney (she’s TALL!) with a handsome man walking down Lexington Avenue in NYC once. Not only did I not bother them, but NOBODY else did either. She lives there. She doesn’t have to, she could live anywhere. But then she doesn’t attract the same attention as MJ, LiLo or Brit, possibly because she is a normal human being who happens to be an actress and not an ongoing freak show that parades weirdness in front of the paparazzi for years. While I’m distressed at the lack of respect several of our elected leaders have shown both the constitution and the people of the US, Bette and Co. claim to hold themselves to a higher standard. So excuse me if I’d be distressed to see Bette use her position to despotically shackle the media just as I’m bummed to see the incompetent Shrub lie to us and invade the citizens privacy; like I was bummed to see Clinton use his title to impose himself on various, less powerful women and then have his wife’s team clean up after him and dismiss them all as “bimbos”. We made dueling illegal long ago, but at least Bette could indulge in that as a private citizen (after she’s had the FBI and/or CIA track down the offenders, of course.) NOBODY DISSES T!
Ali I have read all of your stories since season one and I’m normally a silent reader, but i’ve decided to be silent no more. This is a great fan fic but bette needs to see that tina has post natal depression and needs to get her help asap and sod the press let them know that normal women dont loose their weight over night and can get depressed ect ect ect. bring it on
Wow Ally that was an amazing chapter, i loved the talk, i totaly understand what Tina must be going through, well yes i didn’t have a child, but it’s understandable, you just keep getting better and better Ally, I’m waiting for the next up date eagerly.All my Love.
Good chapter. Tina need a professional help and Bette need to calm down and show her that she is beautiful. Please post more, thanks!
Dear Ally,Just amazed that you can keep this story so interesting for so many chapters. I always look forward to your posts. Thanks
GREAT JOB again Ally. Now that Bette is aware of Tina’s problem she can address it by showing her some TLC and making public apprearances with her and standing by her side letting it be known how much she loves and supports her. I agree that Bette should not personally attach those that went after Tina, but she does’t have to because she has a “Much Bigger Bat”, the public. As many women that have had babies and gone through a similiar condition, especially all of those single and Head of house women who can’t afford the time or money to get a personal trainer so that they can get back into shape before returning to work, all Bette and her team need to do is supply thrm with the information and still back and watch the fur fly. This is one of the issues (self image) that women can bring to the forefront and have addressed. I know that presently Tina doesn’t really feel like being a “Poster Child” for this cause, but with Bette repeatly showing how she is still, if not more attracted to her and desire her now, she should come to see the light, thus cominng foward with the public’s support. There really should be a huge public backlash because of such of an attack or publization of such a beloved new mother. Just step back and THINK Bette, the public part of this one is easy. It’s sad to say, but people care more about this type of gossip then the price of gas, because they feel that they have to power to effect it, and gossip is sometimes a nationl pass time. PPS :o)
