The L Wing – chapter 285
“I know that I had problems with her but Tina always said that she was basically a very good person and that we should support her – as usual my wife was right”
“Going back to what we started to talk about – would you really walk away from politics totally ? you have so much experience and knowledge”
“I wouldn’t walk away as in never have anything to do with it again. Helena must have told you that Tina wants to run for Senate in a few years. I would love to run Tina’s campaign for anything that she wanted to do – she would be brilliant and I am truly humble that she is my wife and she’s invaluable to me. but as for me – no Peggy I don’t want to work for the UN, the IMF or NATO. I will be happy spending a few years doing the school run and developing my estate. “
“Do you think you have lost your hunger for it ?”
“I think I am probably jaded by it all – its coming up to eight years Peggy and not many people have done longer than 8 years because of the Constitution. By the time I walk out for the last time I will have done a decade. America will have had enough of me and I can’t say I blame them”
“You sound defeated “
“I am not – I guess I am tired more than anything else at the moment – looking forward to a long weekend with Tina and Ella though this Afghanistan thing could scupper that. “
“There are still dragons to slay “
“There are and I hope to be around to do it but you and I know American politics well enough. With Congress on a knife edge its difficult to get much done – even less the closer we get to nominations and conventions and all that”
“Most Presidents are totally shackled by Congress – you have some wriggle room”
“Which I owe to my Vice President’s work “
“Sounds to me like you have heard too many briefings today “
“My day started at 4:30 – before that Tina got home at 1:30 – sleep is something that I am lacking at the moment “
“You should call it a day and go see your beautiful little girl “
“I should – and you should go see how your beautiful little girl is doing “
Peggy laughs “I might just do that – with luck at least one of the pairs of boots she’s bought in London won’t suit her and she will give them to me “
“You think that’s likely ?”
Peggy shakes her head “Not really – when it comes to boots Helena is as ungenerous as I am “

Wonderful AllyE. I wholeheartedly agree with Jackee and Azmama. You have a better knowledge than a lot of us on this side of the pond and I find that fantastic. Love the chapter. Loved Tina’s comment about Peggy and her salty mouth. There is something emotionally wrong with a person that does not like children and especially by the person with whom you are supposed to be in love. And when one would rather leave the relationship to not be near and have nothing to do with a child says an awful lot about that person’s emotional development. Helena is well rid of Ms. Alana and her aloofness, she should not hold out hope for Alana returning to her at anytime. She will not, it’s not about being tied down by a child, she used that scenario to get out of the relationship, she doesn’t seem to want to be very close to anyone, because she was never at home anyway, always on the road supposedely working. I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts that she already has someone waiting in the wings that she has been involved with in Europe. For Helena’s sake, hope I’m wrong but I don’t think so. Great chapter. Thanks for posting.
It hurts to see that Helena will have her child by herself when she i till in love with Alana. what is wrong with children? Then again if she does not want children then Helena is better without her. This Helena deserves to be happy and her child needs another parent. But as usual, i leave it to you Ally because you are so great at refreshing the story that I am not worrying at all. You rock, you know that?
Thanks for the update, and looking forward to more.
Bravo.PPS
Thanks for thinking of me. Close to 300 chapters to this story is fairly amazing, is it not? It is still fresh and interesting. And imagine, a Brit writing the damn thing! :-) You write w/a good sense of American politics and a clear sense of humor. My request is, and I ask humbly, maybe a raunchy, wild NC-17 as they used to have before they became so “mommified” and serious? Bette especially seems worn out and while she is absolutely devoted to Tina perhaps a long, balls out love fest would rejuvenate them both? After all, a girl’s gotta have fun, right?
