“But you couldn’t ?”
“No – Bette was born about a year after we got married. Looking back at it now I think that it flipped Elizabeth – she didn’t want a baby – she tried to get rid of it “
Melvin looks sad “ I cannot imagine my life without Bette in it “
“Neither can a lot of people – without Bette I have no idea what I be doing now – and without Bette there wouldn’t be that beautiful little girl sleeping beside me.
When did Kit come to live with you ?”
“Bette was about 4 – Kit was a wilful and difficult teenager. Amy and her dad were killed in a car crash. Her family expected to get custody of Kit but Amy had made a will and I am a very good lawyer. I wanted both my daughters together “
“You sound like you regret that ?”
Melvin leans across and lifts Ella out of her seat and holds her for several minutes without speaking. She opens her eyes and reaches out to him -he kisses her and strokes her hair. I just wait and hope that he will keep talking. I really don’t know how much of this will go in the book but even if I am the only person to hear all of this it will be fascinating. I never knew a family less willing than the Porters to talk about their past.
“I have tried all my life not to regret things but maybe Kit was who sent Elizabeth over the edge. Can you put the notebook down Tina ?”
I obey and hand him Ella’s favourite toy for him to amuse her with.
“Right from the start Kit and Elizabeth fought and they often fought over Bette. Bette’s mother was distant and hard on her – she never thought she could do anything right. Elizabeth was drinking and smoking far too much hash. Kit had the same demons “
“At 14 ! “
“She’d been indulged by Amy – she drank and smoked cigarettes when she arrived at my home. I knew she had a taste for drink and boys “

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
