Alice looked at her watch, “moment of truth guys” Dana wrapped her arms around Alices waste as both Dana and Helena watched her lift the stick up. Alice looked at it with no expression happy or sad on her face and said to both of them…

“It’s…positive”

There was silence in the bathroom neither Dana or Helena wanted to react in case it wasn’t what Alice wanted.

Helena spoke softly to Alice, “Alice sweetie, are you okay? Look we are all going to be here by your side no matter what you chose to do.”

“Can I just be by myself for a while guys I need time to think about this, i…I thought it was going to be negative but its not…i…I just need some time to think about this.” Alice said still staring at the test she had just taken.

Helena spoke to Alice again, “that’s ok sweetheart im going to go to the planet and get something to eat so I will be there if you need me. Maybe Dana should stay you might need someone to talk to when it sinks in, I will see you both later.”

Helena left leaving a shocked Alice and equally shocked Dana. Dana hadn’t said anything to Alice since she had just announced she was pregnant to be truthful Dana was as shocked as Alice if not more!

“Al…i…I can leave if you want me too, I know how hard this is for you and if you don’t want me here I will leave.”

Dana then turned to Alice and lifted the test out of her hand and pulled her into a tight embrace and whispered in her ear, “this doesn’t change anything, just like we said before, we can be a family…if that’s what you want. All I want is for you to be happy, if your happy then so am i.”

Alice whispered back still clinging to Dana with tears starting to form in her eyes, “I really want a family with you Dane…its just…its…I don’t know if im ready for something so major, im afraid, im afraid that if I have a baby it will end up being messed up by me like what my mother done to me. I never ever thought of myself having a baby, im would be a terrible mom and that scares the fuck out of me. I know you will be a brilliant mom but I don’t think im ready. Dana’s eyes then started filling up to the point where both Alice and Dana were crying into each other. Dana started to talk through the tears that had formed listening to Alice.
