    The L Wing – chapter 227

    I have been reading the Chicago Tribune archives when Bette walks in.

    “Hey – I didn’t know you were back “

    “Been back a couple of hours – you okay ?”

    “I went for a long walk – see if I could make this permanent headache go away “

    She sits on the bed and touches my thigh

    “You okay ?”

    “Fine “

    “Ella ?”

    “Sleeping in her nursery – haven’t heard a sound out of her in a couple of hours. I checked her 20 minutes ago and she was still sound “

    “She still is asleep – I have been in looking at her “

    “Your dad was pleased to see her “

    “He dotes on her “ Bette gets up and moves towards the windows

    “He misses you “

    She doesn’t answer and I watch her for a few minutes

    “Leigh is keeping the baby “ I say

    “I thought she would – is she angry with us for turning her request down ?”

    “She’ll get over it – she just doesn’t like that she can’t have her own way all of the time “

    “Porter women usually think that they can “

    “Well they can when and only when they are the President of the United States of America “

    “Nah – I always have thought that I can get my own way “

    She wanders back to the bed and sits down – for a few minutes she’s silent

    “What did he say ?”

    “Sorry ?”

    “What did dad say when you told him that I think my mom is still alive ?”

    “He was pretty shocked “

    Bette looks defiant

    “I suppose he thinks that I am a fool ?”

    “I told him why you think what you do “

    “Is he cross ?”

    “Shocked “

    “He deny it ?”

    “I asked him the leading question – did he know 100% that she died in that hospital “

    She looks at me

    “He can’t say that he knows ?”
    “No he can’t. He can say that he is 99.99% certain that she’s dead but he didn’t get a death certificate and he didn’t attend the funeral “

    “Why wouldn’t he attend her funeral – if he loved her like he claims that he did. Its basic respect and decency. He gave me hell for not going to Emily’s funeral “
