    Dana’s Journey…Confrontations

    Well, my spirits have lifted (UK won the SEC & got a #1 bid in the NCAAWOO HOO!) and my wonderful distraction returns tomorrow to lift them even more.

    LSUfan, Ash, Darkhorse & Sous Chef, yall are the best. Your comments have keep me going while K. has been gone.

    Soupchef, I am glad that you posted your comment. I feel the same that Lara and Dana were the best and my fingers are crossed for a reunion in the second season.

    Cynthia, I totally agree. In my opinion, they did not spend enough time on Dana and her coming out. That is what drove me to begin this fan fic. Who knows, I have heard that a lot of stuff has ended up on the editing room floor, so here is to hoping and wishing for a brighter future.

    To all my other readers, you all are the greatest. Thank you so much for your continued reading. You dont know what it means to me.

    Now, for our normal drillgrab whatever you want and enjoy


    Chapter 12


    Lara stood in front of her lovers mother. Her heart in her throat, wanting to run, but knowing that Danas happiness was the most important thing that existed at that moment.

    Do I know you?

    No maam, you dont, but I saw you the other day at the Orange County Womens Republican Coalition luncheon. Lara just needed to get inside the door so it wouldnt be slammed in her face. I was hoping that I could talk to you about some things if you had a few minutes that you could spare. She was using every fiber on her being not to scream How could you do that to your daughter.

    Sharon began to back up and open the door wider, the young woman that stood before her seemed very respectful. Please come in.

    Lara breathed a sigh of relief and crossed the threshold into the foyer of the upper class home that Dana had grown up in. Everything seemed to have its place and everything seemed just perfect. As she continued in, she knew where Dana got her taste, they mirrored the place that she had spent most of her life. Your place is beautiful.

    Thank you, did you say Lara?

    Yes maam. Lara knew the only way to get this woman to talk to her was to be respectful.
    Everyone is out by the pool. Sharon extended her right arm as to invite Lara out to join them.

    Oh, I didnt mean to interrupt anything. I can come back some other time if that is better. Lara didnt know who everyone was and she didnt want to do this in front of an audience.

    Oh, no, it is only my family. Sharons face became grim. Well, my husband and my son. Please join us.

    Lara followed Sharon out to the pool area and couldnt figure out how to bring up Dana. As they stepped out of the French doors onto the patio, she saw Danas father sitting at a table reading the paper and her brother was in the pool swimming laps. Sharon guided Lara towards the table.

    Lara, this is my husband Irwin, Irwin extended his hand to Lara. And that is my son Howard in the pool. Her finger guided Laras eyes toward the pool. Please have a seat. Would you like some juice or coffee?

    Ummjuice, thank you. Sharon poured a glass of orange juice and placed it in front Lara.

    Now, you said that you wanted to speak to me. Sharon refilled her glass and sat down in her chair.

    Yes maam I didI mean I do. Actually I wanted to speak to both of you.

    Irwins curiosity was now peaked. Both of us? He folded the paper and laid it down on the table.

    Yes sir. It is very important, at least to me it is. Howie was approaching the table, drying himself off and this just added to Laras anxiety.

    Howard, this is Lara. Sharon formally introduced her son as he extended his hand.

    Hi, its Howie. He hated to be called by his formal name. His mother was the only one that could do it.

    Hi. Lara knew that Howie was the only one that was accepting of Dana. As she let go of his hand, he grabbed a bagel and some juice and sat down at the table. Any way, what I was saying. Having somewhat of an ally seemed to give Lara enough strength to go through with her plan. She didnt know what the outcome was going to be, but she figured that the worst thing that could happen was they would kick her out. I saw you at the luncheon the other day. You seemed to have left the hotel pretty upset before I got a chance to talk to you.

    Oh yes, that. We had just received some bad news and it upset us. Sharon looked upset once again.

    Well, Lara took as deep of a breath as she could and let it out. that is what I would like to talk to you about.

    Excuse me? Irwin now sat up and was leaning on the table towards Lara.

    I would like to talk to you about your daughter, Dana.

    We no longer have a daughter. And why is it any concern of yours? Irwin was becoming upset, as Sharon sat there as tears began to well up in her eyes.

    Dad, please. Dana is still my sister and I love her. Howie was finally starting to get a backbone.

    I told you never to speak her name again. Irwins anger was now directed towards Howie.

    Please, I dont want to cause problems, but I.

    Irwin, please let her finish and then we can be done with this. Sharon wanted this to be over with.

    Lara knew this was going to be even tougher than she imagined. She drew strength from her love for Dana and Danas love for her, but she knew that Dana would not be a complete person if her family no longer wanted her in their lives.

    I am sorry to bring this up to you, but you should know that Dana has been barely able to function since she told you that she was a *****.

    And how would you know how Dana is functioning? Irwin had calmed down a little, but not much.

    I know because Laras throat felt as if it were closing faster than she could get the words out, because she is very important to me sir. The looks on the faces before her were of total shock. I love your daughter and cant stand to see her hurting so badly.

    You mean that youthat you and her Sharon couldnt get the words out.

    Yes maam, we are. She didnt have to go into detail, she didnt have to say Yes, your daughter is my lover, my partner.

    I dont need to hear this! Irwin got up and went inside, slamming the door behind him.

    Laras heart sank. As Sharon began to rise, Lara placed her hand over hers and looked up at her, with a pleading look. Please let me finish. Please.

    Sharon hesitated. She didnt know what to do. She didnt want to go against her husband, but she did love her daughter, her first born. I cant.

    Lara rose to stand in front of Sharon. Please, Mrs. Fairbanks. I wouldnt have come if it wasnt so important to me.

    Mom, please. Howie was now pleading with his mother.

    Sharon returned to her chair. Her tears never left her eyes, though they threatened to. You have five minutes to finish.

    Mom! Howie received a look that told him that he better stop right there.

    Thats all I need. Lara took a deep breath and began. Like I said, Dana hasnt been able to really function since that day. There is a hole in her life and you are the only ones that can fill it. She placed her hand back over Sharons. Mrs. Fairbanks, you and your family are Danas life. Without you, she is not the same vibrant person that I fell in love with. She has become a shell, an empty shell. I know the pain she is feeling. I have gone through the same exact thing. The only thing that helped me was finding your daughter. I have never met someone so caring and loving. You did that, you raised her to be that caring, that loving. Please dont throw that away. The tears that refused to spill over before, now began to trickle down Sharons cheek. Please at least talk to Dana, try to understand what she is going through. Lara was hoping that she was getting through to Danas mother. I promise, that if you dont, the emptiness that you are feeling at this moment will never go away. As with Dana, she is the only one that can fill that void in your heart. But if you decide to live with that void, please know that I do love her with all of my heart.

    With that, Lara left Sharon at the table and walked out the front door.

    Wait!

    Lara stopped by the drivers side door when she heard the voice and looked up.

    Does Dana know that you are here?

    No she doesnt, why?

    Do me a favor, I didnt get to do it that day. Please give my sister a hug for me. You dont have to tell her that it is from me, I dont want her to get upset at you too. With that, Howie gave Lara the hug he wanted passed on to his sister. I am glad that she has someone like you. You seem cool.

    So do you and rest assured that I will pass on the hug as soon as I get home. Lara broke the hug and got into her car. As she drove away, she saw Howie go back into the house. She thanked God Dana at least had her little brother in her corner.

    Did you finish whatever you needed too? Dana had heard Lara come through the door.

    Yeah, I did. Lara had actually done what she had set out to do. She didnt know if she had gotten through or not, but her business was done. Where are you?

    Im in the kitchen.

    Lara walked straight there and turned Dana around. She didnt kiss her, she didnt speak, she just hugged her, tightly.

    Baby, is everything ok? Dana wasnt used to seeing Lara like this, she seemed scared, but on a mission.

    Im perfect now that Im with you. Lara pulled back and looked into Danas eyes. Do you know that I would move the world for you to make you happy again?

    I am happy. You are all I need. Dana knew better, but now Lara was her family. Are you sure that youre okay?

    Yeah. Lara pulled Dana into another hug. Can we just watch a movie or something tonight and hold each other on the couch?

    Of course. That sounds like a plan. Dana pulled back enough to see Laras face and give her a kiss. Now, why dont you go into the living room and choose a movie and Ill call the Thai place down the street and get them to deliver dinner.

    That sounds good. Ill go get into some sweats and then Ill choose the movie. What do you feel like, comedy, drama, horrorromance? Lara smiled at the last choice.

    How about a romantic comedy? I think we have had enough drama for a while.

    Okay. Ill be back down in just a few minutes. Just order me something spicy, you know how I like it spicy.

    Dana began to laugh, Yeah I do. Believe me, I really do know how you like things. Now get upstairs and change before you get me into trouble.

    Lara laughed all the way up the stairs. She decided against sweats and decided to go on and put on her long pajama pants and camisole top. As she headed back down to choose a couple of movies, she heard Dana finish ordering their dinner and hang up the phone. How long is it going to be?

    They said about 30 or 40 minutes. Dana walked into the living room behind Lara, who was facing the entertainment center trying to pick the movies out. Which movies did you pick out?

    Well, how about Two Weeks Notice and Moonstruck?

    Those sound good. Dana responded as she placed her arms around Lara. Why dont we wait to start them after the food gets here. That way we dont have to stop the movie.

    Sounds like a plan to me, but what will we do for the next 30 minutes?

    Well, I thought Dana didnt finish her sentence, she just kissed the back of Laras neck.

    UmmmDana Lara felt Danas hands slide down her sides.

    Yes?

    Ummmdo you really want to be naked, opening the door to a deliveryman?

    No, not really, but Dana continued the assault on the back of Laras neck, cant we just have a make out session?

    I guess soLara let out a huffy breath, if you REALLY feel that it is necessary. Lara loved to tease Dana and Dana knew it.

    Well, Dana pulled completely away from Lara, if you dont want to, we can just watch the news until our food get here then. Dana went and sat on the couch. She knew that Lara was only playing.

    That was all it took, Lara went over to the couch and pushed Dana back and laid on top of her. Now I didnt say that I didnt want too Lara kissed Danas neck. I just asked if you thought it was necessary. Another kiss on the other side of Danas neck.

    Yes, Dana tilted her head back to give Lara more access, it is.

    That is all I wanted to know. Lara began to move her lips up to Danas jawline. She felt like she was back in high school making out with her first girlfriend. It didnt take as long as they expected for the food to arrive. Lara laughed at Dana as she tried to straighten up her clothes and hair when she paid the delivery boy.

    Shut up! You arent funny. Dana couldnt keep the smile off of her face.

    You are the one who wanted to make out. You are the one who has to pay. Lara was laughing harder.
    They put the first movie in and began to eat their dinner. Lara would feed Dana a bite here and there, watching her mouth wrap around the food and then slide it off of her fork. She loved how graceful Dana was, even when she ate. Once they finished eating, they just left the containers on the coffee table and curled up on the couch to finish the first movie, Lara behind Dana with her left arm laying over Danas abdomen.

    Two hours later, Dana got up and put the last movie in for them to watch and returned back to her place in front of Lara. The place she felt safe. The place she felt loved. They both had drifted off to sleep during the movie sometime. They were both exhausted from the events that had taken place the previous week. They were woken up by another knock on the door.

    Who could that be? Lara barely had her eyes open.

    I dont know. Ill go see. Dana left her lovers embrace and headed to the door. Lara sat up and rubbed her eyes.

    Oh my God, what are you doing here? was all Lara heard.
