“She dotes on you Melvin – and you are really good with her “
“I think she is going to take after you Tina “
“No chance Melvin – that one is Bette’s daughter all the way “
He smiles but I see the sadness in his eyes
“Did you miss her when she left ?”
“Yes – because I saw so much of her in Bette. I hurt Bette by pushing her away. My little girl needed me so much Tina and I couldn’t be there for her “
He rubs a tear away -I get up and sit on the arm of the chair he is sitting on.
I put my arm around him and he smiles
“Thank God Bette has such wonderful taste in women “
“I will agree with that one. Melvin – you are an amazing man. Already from what you have told me I know that we are going to come up with a marvellous biography. But I don’t want to press you to put these things in the book “
“No Tina – its who I am “
“Melvin – you need to tell Bette all of this “
“I hoped that you might “
“No way Melvin- I will cook dinner and be there but this is something that you have to explain to Bette yourself “
“It will make things harder with Kit “
“Things could be better between Kit and Bette “
I pick my words carefully – I think that Leigh is putting all of us in a very difficult position but so far I have only said this to Lucy and Helena.
“It would mean a lot to Leigh if the two of you adopted her baby “
“Melvin – the most important people to me are Bette and Ella. My life is my wife and our baby – you know that — you know that about me and you know how Bette feels about the two of us “
“I do know that Tina “
“Well I don’t think that us adopting Leigh’s baby would be good for Bette or Ella or me. And I also think it would be bad for Leigh as well. How would she feel being called Auntie Leigh when she is the birth mom. I couldn’t stand to hear Ella call anyone mom but Bette and I – it would destroy me – it would tear my heart out – even if I knew that it was for the best for Ella. Bette’s the President and in the next two years before she leaves office she has so many plans – plans that I am behind – plans that I also have for my role. Secondly, Ella has to be the centre of our world right now- she is changing every day – look at her Melvin – she is growing and is beautiful and we all love her. I know that we could love another child but not Leigh’s. She has plenty of options and well – as you have been so amazingly honest with me today I am going to say something that I didn’t think I could say to any of you. Melvin – Leigh is acting like a spoilt little kid – she got pregnant – she had every chance to get rid of it . I understand that she couldn’t do that but expecting Bette and I to clean up her mess is unfair “
“I know that Tina – but its hard for me. In a way I see helping Leigh as being a way of making
up for not reaching out for Bette after her mother left “
“Have you ever talked to Bette about her mom ?”
“No – when she was growing up I neglected her. Before you walked into her life I was sure that her being alone was a way of punishing me. Bette doesn’t deserve another day of loneliness or unhappiness ever again because of how she suffered when she was a child. She was so loving – all she wanted was affection “
“She has it now “
“Every time I see you and her – and I see how happy you make her – Tina. I love you like a daughter because of the love you have given Bette “
I hug my father in law
“Well I love you for giving me and the rest of the world the wonder that is Bette Porter “

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
