Sunlight hitting her eyelids was what ended up waking Alice, which was a little surprising considering that she knew Anna must have been checking up on her during the night. Aside from that, she was in a room in the oncology ward’s ICU, which meant that there had to have been a lot of noise just outside the door during the late hours. Still, she’d been oblivious to all of it, and her body was certainly thanking her for it today. She felt more rested than she had in weeks, and aside from a little grogginess she felt pretty damn good.
She felt even better when she opened her eyes and turned her head. She must really have been sleeping deeply, because Dana had been wheeled in sometime during the night and was asleep beside her. The blue around her lips was completely gone, and she looked better than she had in quite awhile. Alice couldn’t do much more than grin, so happy to find her there that nothing else mattered.
Anna found her that way a few minutes later as she walked in with Alice’s breakfast tray. "You’re gonna stare a hole through the poor girl’s head, you know," she laughed. "You’re officially out of here, concussion-wise, but I figured a good breakfast will do you good. I know hospital food isn’t great, but I’ve always enjoyed the breakfasts myself, and you were low on some things when they had you tested yesterday. I brought some vitamins to help with that, unless of course you’d rather have the IV."
"Nah, I hate swallowing pills but I’d prefer to choke a little rather than have a needle in my hand, thanks," Alice replied, grinning at Anna as she sat up. "How’s Dana? I didn’t even hear her come in last night."
"That’s probably because you were sleeping so hard I wouldn’t have been able to wake you up if I tried. You needed it, so don’t go feeling bad. She’s a lot better, obviously. The oncologist on call gave the okay for her to come back in here at about 4am. She should be waking up before too long. She’ll still be tired, of course, but Dr. Shapiro’s coming in soon to check up on her and tell us where to go from here."

Excellent update my dear. Keep it up and quit leaving us hanging so long. PPS
Wonderful Update!Loved this line:”Use this, Dana. It’s yours anyway,” Your writing, as I have said in the past, is magnificent…keep up the good work!
BRAVO! I can’t tell you how happy this chapter has made me. Dana’s confession was just so, well, so Dana. Very much like she would have; having gone to the edge and come back again, you know? I think I also caught few subtle nuances from somewhere in the past that made me smile from ear to ear! This story is so precious MT, I can’t even tell you how good it is to see them on this path. Now Lara should be interesting. I am looking forward to seeing what transpires. Oh, and the dance! I think definately a slow one. And no way would I suggest “those two songs”! We’re pretty much in tune, I’m sure something perfect will come to mind. Again, great job!
Fuckity McFuck you made me sniffle – you’re just to good – that’s right embrace it – fling on your hero cape. See this is all a girl needs – a slice of Alice(heh) – a dash of Dana – a sprinkle of Helena. Hey! do you think uh…you know maybe in the happy place um uh – no – no that would be wrong – wouldn’t it??
Again, an excellent update! I’m so feeling the connection between these two. “Use this, Dana. It’s yours anyway.” Sigh… Don’t mind me, I’m just a hopeless, sappy romantic. ;) I can’t wait untill Dana gets released from the hospital and she will be able to work on her recovery! Btw, Alice and I share the same fondness of women with dark curly/wavy hair. After reading this chapter I realized I watched Seinfeld for the same reasons as she did (ok, the show itself was kinda funny too..). ;) There might be a bit fo a ressemblance between Elaine and Helena. But Helena does look much hotter (and don’t forget that she has a lovely British accent)!
This was a truly phenomenal update & I have all the faith in the world that you won’t make it into anything stupid. As for dying … I’ll try my best not to, as long as you keep Dana & Alice alive & kicking!
Glad to know you’re not sick of us yet. I think I found a way to avoid rushing around like a chicken with it’s head cut off to get ready for work after reading your story. Just wake up earlier! While reading the update I had the feeling that everything was coming together emotionally for Dana and Alice. Dana’s health is still a question, but you’ve said you’re not taking the death route. As crazy as it sounds, I like the idea of Alice questioning whether or not she’s beginning to love Dana too much again. Alice went through a horrible time after the breakup. It makes sense that she would be afraid of going back to that dark place. Now Lara is coming back. ick Maybe she’ll tell Dana that she met someone. Maybe she’ll want Dana back. (As if) The questions keep the drama up, which means this story can go on for a LONG time. :-D (Yay!)Time to make the donuts…
A fantastic update….I always look forward to this story, its one of my favorites. Thanks and PPS
wow, that was excellent as always. I was so curious to see how the beginnings of the recovery process would play out, especially since you don’t have to really follow canon anymore. That was really great Muted, and I absolutely loved the Seinfeld references. How cute is Helacious? I mean, not as cute as Danish, but yeah, it’s a pretty decent alternative. I’m anxiously awaiting this Lara encounter, and Alice’s whole inner struggle about loving Dana too much. It’s a completely realistic take on Alice’s feelings, considering everything they went through before. Um, have I mentioned yet how addicted to this story I am. Post soon, I can’t take the anticipation!
I don’t think Alice should worry too much about loving Dana too much… I think Dana’s strong enough to tell her when things are getting too intense, and they can work through it without being apart. They’ve both experienced the alternative now
(oops, bloody laptop touchpad craptastic thing…) um…yeah, the alternative is not being together, and I don’t think either of them can cope with that. I don’t know how I’ve managed not to comment on this story before, but let me go on record now as saying that I think your story is fantastic. Oh, and I don’t think Al would let Dana win that contest. Great chapter, post another soon please. Cheers!
beautiful – bravo. thanks for making cry about dana for the hundredth time this week. i know – i need to get a life. cheers to you.
This is excellent *applauds*
Will you ever understand how great this story is?! I’m hooked on it and I love how you simply don’t rush through it, gives me hope that there is many many more chapters to come. As for me being a tease I have no idea what you’re talking about, I’m totally innocent :D I’m scared that a danish mutiny might take place if some action doesn’t happen though. Hmm Lara coming back I think will cause anxiety but nothing too serious, maybe it will reassure Dana further that she made the right choice, and as for Alice, I think once she sees she’s receiving the same intensity of love back she won’t scold herself so much for loving Dana wholly. Awesome update, I truly love this :) xx
