This couldn’t possibly be a good idea. Two nights and three days with Angelica, responsible for her safety and well being, not to mention returning her to her mothers happy and unharmed in any way? Dana was reeling, trying to find a way to verbalize her thoughts before it was too late.
Too late.
"Of course, we’ll do it," Al told Tina. "It’ll be her first slumber party."
They made the final plans before the call ended, but Dana heard none of it. She loved Baby A, but had always been comforted by the fact that she was never alone with her and that one of her mothers or aunts was always standing by to swoop in and rescue them. That was more theory than practice, but this, this would be stark naked reality.
"Alice," she began hesitantly, "I not sure that we’re the best ones to do this. What about Kit and Angus?"
Al cocked her head and threw Dana a puzzled look. It wasn’t what she said, but the sound of Dana’s voice that got her attention.
"They’re in San Francisco for the week, remember?"
"Oh. Right"
"What’s wrong?" asked Alice as she moved sit with Dana. "C’mon, spill it."
"Don’t get me wrong. I like kids. I love this one in particular," Dana said, "but they’re not too fond of me…not until they’re like ten or twelve…not even then sometimes."
Alice bit her lip in a bid to suppress her urge to laugh. Dana was dead serious.
"Dane, didn’t you ever babysit when you were a kid?"
"No. I played tennis," Dana answered as though that explained everything.
"What?" Alice lost the battle. Dana’s doleful look fueled more giggles.
"I’m serious Al. I was always at practice or off playing in tournaments. Nobody ever asked me. I never even looked after Howie when our parents went out for dinner."
"Wow. Really?" Alice was slightly taken aback, but recovered quickly. "Okay, this is not a problem. I know what I’m doing. You’ll just keep us company." She took Dana’s hand and continued. "Any time it gets to be too much, you can take a break…come home, go see Shane and Carmen, get a smoothie, whatever you need."
Dana exhaled slowly and relaxed just a bit. She surveyed the condo. They had a lot to do.

What a lovely story! Beautiful writing!
Thanks for giving us a good step back from all the angst that’s been going on lately, because as important as angst is a happy change of pace is even better:) I love your stories and I’m really hoping that another brilliant idea will pop into your head so that you can write about it!
Oh my God. I absolutely LOVED it! It had just the right mix of humor and emotion and hope that every Danish fic needs. Beautifully written. I do have to say that my favorite part was when Shane called them the “fucking Stepford dykes”. I laughed so hard, my stomach hurts now! I hope you continue to write, because I love all of your stuff!
too cute, dana and the baby watching tennis. : )
Great stuff SammysGirl…Hope you continue writing especially Danish stories, you write them so well.
hey, i loved this. It was just pure gold for all danish fans. :) hope to see more of you.
Aww.. this was just too cute. This was the Danish that could have been, so thanks for giving us this insight. I liked the role reversal.. Alice being all confident at first, and Dana worried sick ended up the opposite way round lol. You could so see this happening with Danish and they worked as a team in the end.. so so sweet! Keep up with the writing. Thanks.
Aww, I fell in love with Danish all over again. :P Dana and baby A, so damn cute! :D I liked the role reversal thing too. Looking forward to your next story. :)
Loved this story it was so sweet and funny. You write danish so well and i hope you continue too.
