The L Wing – chapter 217
“And very handsome “
“And I knew it “
I laugh – Porter arrogance is rarely that far from the surface with one of the family
“I was handsome and successful “
“I can leave modest out of that sentence “ I say making notes using shorthand.
“And I think her uncle was up for possession of cocaine. I defended him and got him off – it wasn’t hard. After the trial Amy was very grateful “
“How grateful ?”
Melvin smiles at the memory “ She came to my office and made it plain that she wanted to thank me in a very special way “
“You dog “ I laugh
He tries to look modest and fails
“So you started dating her ?”
“She didn’t want to get married and I did – which was very unusual at the time. We lived together and that was when Kit was born,. Shortly after that – well we drifted apart – I loved her very much -she was clever and beautiful and drove me wild with desire. But she was ambitious and didn’t want to be tied down – which also meant that she wanted to sleep with other men. So I moved a few miles away and continued to see Kit and Amy when I could. That could have gone on forever – it did go on for over a decade. Then I met Bette’s mom”
“Where did you meet her ?”
“At a party – she was a cocktail waitress. Just the most AMAZING eyes “
“Like Bette “
Melvin looks at me and then at Ella who is sleeping
“Like Bette and like this one. She is going to break hearts Tina – be ready for that”
“We have a few years while she’s growing up “
“Elizabeth’s eyes – were so soulful and so full of feelings. I fell for her totally. We’d been dating six months when I asked her to marry me. We got married about three days later. I really wanted to marry Amy but she kept turning me down. I thought that I could love Elizabeth in the same way. “

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
