Dana shifted in her chair to get comfortable. The baby sensed the change and rang out a cry that could have woken the dead. Alice’s eyes shot wide open.

"Well she certainly has your lungs Al."

"Yea thats a sound we better get used to in a hurry."

"You aint kidding. How are you feeling?"

"A little better, still exhausted though."

"That is to be expected you did just give birth."

Just then a nurse walked in.

"Well I see we have a healthy set of lungs on this one."

"Alittle to healthy."

Alice shot Dana a look to kill.

"Al I was just kidding."

"Now Alice are you going to be breast feeding or not."

"Well Dana and I talked about and we decided not to breast feed due to our scheduals."

"Okay then, I’m glad I get to skip on that rather embarrassing lesson."

Dana and Alice both nod there heads.

"The two of you look exhausted I’m going to take her back to the nursery, and Dana how about you go home that way both of you can get some decent sleep."

"Al is that okay with you?"

"Yea that sounds great Dana."

Dana kissed her daughter goodbye and then her wife and left for home. It was on the way home that she realized that no one had called their parents. She hoped they wouldnt be too pissed. Dana pulled up and went in and the first thing she did was whip out her cell and called her parents.

"Mom hi."

"Hello Dana how are things."

"Well you are a pround grandmother of a healthy baby girl."

"Oh my Alice had the baby."

"Yea this morning at 4am. I’m sorry we didnt call you earlier it just didnt cross our minds."

"I understand honey.How’s Alice?"

"She is doing good I left so she could get some sleep, well and so could I."

"Dana honey what did you name her?"

"Alana Marie Fairbanks."

"That’s your and Alice’s names together."

"Yea it just kinda popped into my head."

"So when can we see our grandaughter."

"Well I’m gonna get some shut eye and then go back around 2pm, how about I meet you there?"

"Sounds greats see you then Dana."

"Bye mom."

"Bye Dana."

Dana got off the phone with her mother and called Alice’s

"Lenore Hi."

"Dana Hi! We got baby yet?"

"We got baby Lenore!"

"When did she have it?"

"This morning at 4am."

"Good things happend for you guys at 4am."

"We sure do know that."

"When can I see her?"

"I’m going to get some sleep, then I’m meeting my parent at the hospital at 2pm, how is that for you."

"Good for me."

"Okay then I’ll will see you then.?

"Goodbye Dana see well."

"I will bye."

Dana chaned into some sweats and headed for bed. It took her alittle while to fall asleep without Alice beside her but she eventually drifted off to sleep.Alice on the other hand had no trouble falling asleep. She hated not having Dana there but exhaustion had won the battle.

It was 12:30 pm when the alarm went off. Dana drug herself out of bed and into the shower. She took a long hot shower and in the end she felt sorta like a human being again. She got dressed and on her way to the hospital stopped by The Planet for Alice, because she knew Alice hated hospital food. Across town Alice was woke up by a screaming baby being brought to her wanted to be fed. Alice took little Alana in her arms, looked at her and said

"You’re not going to let me have a good night’s sleep for the next 18 years are you?"

Just then the baby gave Alice one of Dana’s goofy smiles.Alice just smile and took the bottle and began to feed her for the first time. Right then Dana, the Fairbanks, and Lenore all pulled into the hospital. greeted each other and then heading in to meet the newest member of the family.
