The L Wing – chapter 243
“You and I did miracles with this place “ I refer to the two days where we totally transformed this room. Leigh looks around and laughs
“I know “
“If you want a hand Tina and I will come down for the weekend and we will help “
“Are you allowed to stay where you want ?”
“I can if my detail get enough warning and check the place out. “ I smile
“I think I might get some pleasure from creating a fuss in my old home town.”
“You are bad “
“No point in being the President if you don’t create the maximum impact when you go anywhere “
“Do you worry about Ella growing up and wanting to go out and play ?”
I sigh “ It used to keep me awake when T was pregnant. I used to have nightmares about something happening to her. She gets protection for her whole life. In a way that will be hard for her but she is the President’s daughter – she will grow into it. We will give Ella the best life that we can – like any parent does for their child. Do you know that I have members of my detail whose main job is to take the bullet meant for us ?”
Leigh nods
“Rather like the time I have wasted thinking about the woman who was my mother – I have always wasted a lot of energy worrying about Tina and Ella. I know that they are safe – because at the end of the day while there are people willing to take a bullet for me – I am willing to take a bullet for either of them “
“Not something you get to say “
I laugh “ You will understand when your baby is born. It will change your life in ways that even now you cannot understand. I swear that you will not regret having the baby. You are young enough to have a career as well as a baby. I could tell you that its easy but its not. It will be hard for you but you have a family who – well I know that we are dysfunctional but we do love each other “
Leigh smiles as Ella wakes up – she looks at me “I am scared but the more time that has gone on the more excited I am. I think it will be good for me. “
“Dad is going to be spoilt – two grandchildren “
“He talks about Ella all the time “
“So do I “ I says
Leigh kisses Ella “ Hey sweetpea – how are you ?”
“Last night she was loud and wore the two of us out “
Leigh looks at me “ I am going to call her Maggie if it’s a girl “
“That is nice – she would have loved that “
I see that Leigh is about to crack up. I take Ella and put her into her cot. I put my arms around Leigh
“Let it out “
She starts to cry “ I wish she was here “
“I know that “
“I miss her – she would look after me “
“Sshh “
As I hold her I know that I need to be there for my sister – its what Maggie would have
expected of me and its what I expect of myself.

Hello again AllyE. And thanks again for this fine addition to your political tale. LOved how Tina got Bette into admitting she was wrong and apologizing to the whole family. Bette is correct that now is the time to look for the future and let the past rest. Nothing can be done to change it. ADorable to see Bette be the big sister to Leigh and help her throught this tough time. Missing your mom is such a heartache. I do hope that this child bring the family even closer together. Adorable to think that Ella will soon have a cousin to play with. more pleas of theis delightful drama. Much appreciatied update. Your Loyal Fan.
Hey Ally, great chapter. Now I am going out n will try to be as bad as I can:))
well the hatchet is almost buried now if if kit would let go? but think there is more drama ahead for both! big of bette to admit she was wrong, tina is a very good balance for her! :)PPS
Kit needs to get her act together and stop the madness. I think she wants to tell that Ella is really her grandchild and she wants to be the grandparent, not the aunt. Can’t imagine what she is thinking, or not thinking as is the case. Glad that Bette will try more to help Leigh and be closer to her. Leigh will need the help and attention from Bette and Tina. They will be her rock since the loss of her mother. Great chapter AllyE. By the by, what do we have to do to be really bad enough for you to come back with more chapters before the weekend. Be advised, I’m really being very very bad. lolPost when you can.
Love this update – seeing Bette finally pulling herself together – now when is Kit going to grow up. Just love the way you write this story – so grounded so loving so mature – So different from you know who who started it all but couldn’t make it as heart-filled as you have and as the actresses tried to. THANK YOU for continuing to write this story even when you thought about branching out elsewhere. You amaze me with your talent – Thanks.
That was great and good to see Bette is there for Leigh. Kit is not done and hope she not bring more drama for B&T soon. Please more, thanks!
Thanks for the update. L wing is one of my all time favorites
So what is it about Melvin that all his women give him daughters and then die prematurely? Actually Ella isn’t going to have Secret Service protection for life, that only last as long as the parent is in office. Back when I was in NYC, I passed Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg on the sidewalk as she was pushing a baby carriage (yes, this was a while ago). I saw her brother a couple of times, once in the middle of Times Square in nothing but shorts and a pair of roller blades. Him, not me. No security around either of them. Hey Ally, it’s you lot that have Happy Christmases, in the US we have Merry ones.
Thanks for the update. It’s good to see that Bette it’s here for Leigh. And I think with Kit is not over yet?? PPS
thanks for that great chapter Ally. PPS
