Chapter 9- Turning Down Cigarettes
As the ambulance arrived, Shane refused to let Alex go! The EMS worked around her and got the two into the ambulance. Carmen followed in her car. When they arrived at the hospital, Shane finally let the doctors take over, kissing her daughter’s forehead then taking a seat next to her sobbing wife in the waiting room. Shane leaned forward and plunged her face into her hands, tears still staining her face. Carmen retreated to call Alice and Jessica. When she came back, Shane was In the same position. She went over and rubbed her back, Shane just pushed away.
Carmen: Honey, it’s okay.
Shane: No, it’s not okay, she’s practically dead.
Carmen: No, she’s not.
Shane: Don’t try to sugar coat this, an hour ago you hated me!
Shane got up and walked away. She needed a smoke. Shane hadn’t smoked in half a year now, but she needed one. She went to her and Carmen’s car and dug into the centre consol to pull out an old box. She went to take one then a memory flashed by.
FLASHBACK
Carmen and Shane were talking to Alex on her second visit, before the adoption.
Alex: For me, I could rely whether I liked a person or not, simply on scent. I hate when people smell bad, and I detest the smell of smoke.
END FLASHBACK
The tears were now shed more heavily now as Shane threw the package to the ground, shutting the door and locking the car. She leaned against the door and let her body slide to the ground as she continued to cry. Alex was her life. She had never known someone so young and so intelligent and mature. Half the time, she had better conversations with Alex than Carmen. Then there was Carmen, when she wasn’t there, Alex was. She always had a way to cheer Shane up, get her mind off things. A simple smile, or hug could get rid of all her problems.
Alex was there for her, so it was time to be strong and be there for Alex. She thought for a moment, then made her way back inside. Carmen was pacing the waiting room. Shane ran up to her and pulled her into her arms. Carmen responded, crying into her wife’s shoulder.

Hi there…beautiful story…so nice and full of emotion…post the following soon…it’s truly nice.

greta update im glad sharmen worked it out but i do think shane is being a little neglectfull of carmens feelngs she is after all carmens fleah right and now crmen blames herself for the coma cause of the d word i think shane needs to be there for both her girls . great post and please please update soon.
this is great can’t wait to see what happens next please post soon I love it
This was great . . . I didn’t get a heart attack, thank God!!! lmao!! In some ways I can understand Shane’s actions towards Carmen and in some ways I can’t. I mean, sure I would be there for my daughter, but If my wife runs outta’ the room thinkin’ it’s her fault that our daughter is in this situation, then I would have to go take care of her too. Like dre2006 said, “Shane can and needs to take care of both her girls” . . . The whole being in Dana’s old room, is just plain creepy, lol. I’d be a little paranoid, wouldn’t you? Anyways, like always, it was a great update so please keep up the great work. Oh, and don’t make us wait too long cause then I might actually have a heart attack, LMFAO!!! LYLAS ;-p
