I chuckle “ Could have been worse Melvin “
“Why is that ?”
“Because when Stanton organised the first women’s rights convention- which I think was in New York in about 1848 or 1850 she was helped by a woman she had met previously and agreed with her on so much “
“And who was that ?”
“Lucretia C Mott “
Melvin laughs “ I see your point Tina – the President of the United States – Lucretia Porter “
We both laugh and Melvin takes another cookie from the plate on the table and bites into it
“Not a name to get elected with is it ?”
“Are you comfortable doing this Melvin – if you are uneasy you have to say so and we’ll skip this until another time “
“Tina – I am fine doing this. I want this to be an honest portrayal of my life and that has to include my family and that means my marriage and my family – and that means Bette and Kit “
“Bette’s mom has always seemed a family secret to me. I once asked Kit about her – I think Bette and I had only be a couple about three months and I asked her in passing about her and I was left wishing I hadn’t asked“
“Kit has her own reasons for having an issue with her “
“Dare I ask ?”
“Its just that they never got on -right from when Kit came to live with us it was a problematic relationship. “
“Why don’t you just start talking and we can see where the conversation takes us ?”
Melvin leans back and started talking
“I met Bette’s mom when I was with Kit’s mother. Kit’s mom Amy was stunning – her father was very well off in the community – he owned a number of shops – he owned a bakery and couple of bars. No one really knew how he had got the money to start off all these very successful little businesses but by the time I came on the scene he was a big man in the community. I met Amy when I was defending her uncle in a minor case. I was a rising lawyer – getting noticed and getting talked about. “

Hey AllyE, Just loved this fleshing out of Melvin, Kit and Bette’s past. These events shaped them all forever. I could really sense Tina’s empathy as she discovered hpw Bette’s mother had abandoned her as a child. Now the important thing is for Melvin to explain everything to Bette and hope that is will give them both some closure to these tough times. As ever you captured the sense of loss and confusion perfectly. Just loved it all. More please whenever you can. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Loved this chapter Ally. Very touching. I agree with Tina about Leigh’s baby. I’m going through a very similar situation right now because my 16 year old niece who is pregnant and wants to give her baby to her aunt (my sister). I don’t agree with it for the same reasons that Tina said here. I like Melvin and I agree Melvin needs to talk to Bette. Can’t wait for the next chapter!
It would be nice, if we could of gotten more insight into Melvin, and Bette and Kit, and their relationship, Just reading this, I feel like you have given us a back story, to how the dynamics of their relationship transpired into what it had become when Melvin was still alive. Thas a Biography I’d be happy to read. Continue, this chap brought a lil tear to my eye too.
Awesome chapter…. the honesty from melvin was wow.. melvin needs to tell bette the truth and leigh needs to ne responsible for the baby… :)
dang those choices we make in life. btw, had another granddaughter last night. now i have 4 grandkids. cool huh? thx
What a sweet chapter…Tina will have to give Bette some TLC after her long day…I like that Tina was truthful about Leigh’s baby…it is a good idea…
I sure do hope that this post means The L Wing is back on track, and that you’re feeling better. I missed you and your wonderful stories.
Great post, Ally! Welcome back to site. You were missed. What a touching side story. Family secrets can have such a lasting affect on our lives.
Melvin needs to talk to Bette. Leigh need to take on this child. ……………she had the fun now she need the respondable of her fun time. She didnt get pg by her self. Take care and post real soon. thanks
Lovely – and I’m so glad Tina didn’t take on Melvin’s job of telling Bette the truth. Also I love that Tina named Leigh’s behavior as manipulative.
Ah, another amazing chapter!
Great chapter. My favorite story of yours. Again, glad you are back.
Whoa, Bette’s Mom was a real peach. Sounds like there are going to have to be a series of family sit downs to sort out the Porter clan. I love that Melvin and Tina are able to communicate, but that Tina is able to set down boundaries.
This was classic Ally…and that’s always a good thing! Thanks!
That was awesome. Leigh need to get her head out of her ass and make thing right!
The L-Wing is probably my favorite–although I do enjoy your other’s immensely too :) I hope you continue this one for a long time with no end in sight. I’m all for electing Bette to a third term or Tina taking the reigns :). Thanks for the post–you were undoubtedly missed!
I just must leave a comment…I just finished reading this complete story…it is wonderful. Please continue it.
nice and touching chapter ally… and I agree with Tina. Melvin and Bette shall have that talk to come to terms with the past.
Ally, Just Great!!!! I am so loving this. Tina is so right Melvin needs to tell Bette all that he has told Tina. Leigh needs to grow up some and deal with the baby on her own with the help of her family. Thank you
great as expected your such a tlaented writer ally keep up the good work I will be here waiting to read it
