Little did either of them know Dana was standing at the door and had saw everything that had just went on.

“im not leaving Al until you promise me that you will talk to Dana…im sorry but you have to sort this out.” Shane replied

“its okay Shane you can go.” Dana spoke quietly as she walked into the room.

Shane then walked out and tried to show her support by smiling and touching her arm on the way out the door. Alice was back looking out the window when Dana came up behind her and spoke.

“Alice.”

Still Alice didn’t look around.

“Alice.” She said louder this time and still no response.

“ALICE, turn around and look at me… we have to talk about this, I heard what you said to Shane.”

Alice turned around and looked everywhere but Dana’s eyes.

“why cant you look me in the eyes?”

Dana saw that Alice’s eyes had started to fill up which relieved Dana as it was the first time since the baby died that she had shown any other type of emotion other than anger.

“I…I cant Dana, its too hard, I cant…” Alice broke down in tears unable to control the emotion that she felt. She couldn’t replace it with anger this time so she just let it all out and fell to the floor sobbing with Dana grabbing her and slowing moving down with her holding the blond in her arms.

“shhh, its okay baby, we can fix this, everything’s going to be okay.”

“No you don’t understand it’s not okay…” Alice tried to speak through her tears “its all my fault, i…I let you down, I hurt you and I will never forgive myself for that. It’s my fault the baby is gone.” She had to stop she couldn’t get another word out as she was crying to hard. She was still in Dana’s arms and as she spoke she tried to pull away but Dana wouldn’t let go this time.

“Don’t you dare say that Alice, it had nothing to do with you its not your fault. And you could never…” Dana lifted her hand under Alice’s chin and moved her head around so as she was looking at her straight on, “…and I repeat never let me down,” Alices head went to drop back to the ground with tears still pouring out but Dana wouldn’t allow it, “Do you hear me Alice, you are one of the most caring, lovable, friendliest, honest people in this world, you and I both know you could never hurt anyone on purpose or even think about it so get these thoughts out of your head. It was that scumbag Will who did this, there was nothing you could have done to change it and you have got to start believing that. Im in love with you Alice and nothing in this world is going to change that. Do you hear me Alice, nothing.”
