You (Part the Twelfth)
Dana’s alarm clock was about a million times worse than the knocking from yesterday, but it did make them get up quicker. This was probably good, since they’d forgotten to set it back half an hour to match up with Dana’s appointment time, which was a little bit earlier today since there’d been a cancellation before hers. Dana didn’t even want to think about the reasons behind the cancellation, because she was pretty sure she already understood, and it scared the crap out of her. So she just told herself the patient decided to move the appointment up a day or something.
"Okay, go take a shower. You don’t wanna subject the poor oncology nurses to your unwashed smell. Their job’s hard enough as it is," Alice murmured, rubbing her back comfortingly as Dana just glared at her. "Hey, don’t give me that look. I’m just taking everyone’s olfactory sense into consideration."
"You’re so considerate," Dana muttered with an eyeroll, but she managed to give Alice a small smile. It faded quickly, but at least it was there. "Okay, okay, I’m going." Her face set into the look of grim determination she always got before a match, the same look she’d given Alice before she’d kissed her for the first time. It broke Alice’s heart, but made her grin at the same time because that look meant Dana was going to fight with everything she had until she won, and it was the first time Alice had seen her look like that since the diagnosis.
Dana was halfway out of the bed before Alice pulled her into a spontaneous hug, kissing her head gently and trailing her fingers down her emaciated cheek. Dana hugged her back fiercely without saying anything, giving her a little smile that was tinged with a kind of distant sadness, matching the look in her eyes. She couldn’t find the words to express what she was feeling, mainly because there were really no words for it. She wasn’t sure she understood it herself, but looking into Alice’s eyes gave her a sort of peace, even through the confusion. She squeezed her soulmate’s hand when she saw the understanding fill tearful brown eyes, and started the shower before she started crying herself.

That must have been tough to write! But it was really good. That chemo crap can really mess you up big time! Please keep updating….
Damn…that was fantastic. Really powerful stuff here MT! Wow…I don’t even know what to say except I love it and keep it up!!!
wow i can see alot went into this one!!! Great job though…* I promised myself i wouldn’t cry*
Another update so soon! It was sad seeing Dana so dazed and confused. I didn’t realize that chemo affected people that way. I was very young when I saw my aunt in the hospital before she died of cancer. I remember her not being herself, but I didn’t completely understand what was happening. Howie was adorable as always. I particularly loved the images running through Dana’s head as she tried to relax and drift off. Great update as always.
Well hell what a way to wake up. As always this story is beautifully written and I am crying right along with them. You really do have a grasp on them and what they are going through. Thank you so much. Can’t wait for more. And I love that you used Conway. Great touch.
