“Oh babe – when I am here and its silent like this -its all so simple “
“You have taken some big hits lately – not just the hostage crisis but the economy is wobbling and all the stuff with your family “
“I just don’t feel like anyone is on my side bar you and Ella – the person I trust the most politically is still Peggy but its not the others any more “
“What’s happened with Shane and Alice ?”
“Alice sides with Shane regardless of whether she knows she is right or not. They are the senior of my senior staff – they influence the others “
“No one but no one influences JJ or Phyllis “
Bette chuckles
“Yeah – I admit that they are diamonds “
“So give them more responsibility “
“Take it away from Shane and Alice ?”
“Not necessarily – but make Shane and Alice’s roles more concentrated – leave some areas for JJ and Phyllis – CJ was supposed to be sharing the Chief of Staff role – what happened with that ?”
“Shane has taken over most of he old job “
“Well take it back – make some demarcation lines “
“That’s a very trade unionist thing to say “
“Well if you remember that report I wrote when I stopped being one of your Senior Staff was that there was too much generalisation going on. Alice has always directed the message – she’s rubbish at mastering a brief on the economy or defence but she’s great at education and welfare reform. If Shane is being a pain in the arse maybe its because she can’t do the vast amount of work that she used to. CJ defers to Shane because of you “
“Its nothing that I cannot fix but it does bug the life out of me. The whole administration seems to have lost focus “
“Because you have ? “ I suggest
“Probably – I was so conscious after Ella was born that I had to still be seen to be doing a great job but this shit about my dad and Kit – its knocked me hard “
“I know that “ I stroke her hair and gently we kiss. We kiss for several minutes and finally when she ends the kiss she leans her forehead against mine.
“I feel tired Tina — I just want to be here with you “
“So – start your holidays earlier “
She looks at me
“Just like that ? I have a busy calendar next week “
“Compromising of what ? “
She nods “ Parties and glad handing and meetings that will get me just a few hours older “
“So -you are the President – bunk off “
She laughs “I have never bunked off a days work in my life “
“Well its about time you did – you have as many doctors at your disposal as you need. Can’t be that hard to get one of them to say that your are run down and need some R&R “
“You are serious “
“I am – it looks like you need to do some thinking. You are not on the top of your game – you haven’t been for about ten days. Don’t go back to Washington “
Bette smiles “ You have no idea how much I really and truly do love you “
“I have a few ideas that you do love me “
“Good “
“So what about your family “
Bette sips her beer and finally stands up
“Hang my family – lets go to bed babe “
I raise a eyebrow at her “ Already ?”
“Yeah – maybe what I need right now is to taste my wife and have her make love to me in the way that only she can “
“Well I was planning on us talking everything through but that is a much better idea “
“Well – that’s why I am the President – I have great ideas “

After a 6-week hiatus, you’re back! Hooray! As for this long-running story that has a soft spot in my heart, I hope Bette heeds Tina’s advice to go on an early break. She and her family really could use it. Thanks for breaking your silence, Ally! Glad to know all is well in your world. :>

Hell-o AllyE, So wonderful to have you back and posting more of this delightful drama. I just how Bette and Tina can talk through anything and everything. Ella really is softening Bette during this tough time. Good to see Tina being there for her wife. Just adored it. Please continue soon. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.

Well, talk is sometimes over rated. BTW, Americans don’t have arses, let alone pains in them.

That was great!
I am so happy to see a new installment (of course I’ve been held up from reading lately so maybe I will find more waiting for me). I am glad that Tina is really being careful and loving with Bette during this rough time, it is important to know your love has your back.
It’s nice to see you back. I’ve been missing your writing. Thanks for posting.
WELCOME back; have missed u and this story. It’s always nice when T is wise.
WELCOME BACK, we missed you so much Ally, it’s not the same without you, I loved this chapter very much, and I liked the way Tina handled Bette, I can’t wait for the next one, I am sure that it’s going to be much more interesting. Have a beautiful day Ally
It hasn’t been the same w/o you. :-(
Welcome BACK, I hope that you are reenergized and ready to roll. We have missed you A LOT. Bette needs to take Tina’s advise on this one, R&R always help :o).
