You (Part the Sixty-Second) REVISED
The phone was ringing. That much was obvious, but when she tried to move to go answer it, she found herself paralyzed. It took a long while to realize that the paralysis was actually Dana’s arms, and that the ringing phone was just a dream, since Dana had turned every phone off the day before.
Well, to be perfectly honest, the ringing phone was more like a nightmare. As she woke up a little more, Alice realized that the sound had haunted her all night. She shivered a little in Dana’s arms at the thought, and smiled when she felt them tighten around her.
As much as the masochist in her head was telling her to get up and check both their cell phones as well as the answering machine to the landline, she couldn’t seem to move out of the comfort of Dana’s arms. After a few minutes of halfhearted attempts to do so, she also became aware that it was dark, which was probably due to the fact that she hadn’t opened her eyes yet. Doing so warily, she glanced at the alarm clock and sighed. It was only a little past one in the morning, and the apartment was silent except for Dana’s steady even breathing and the pattering of a light rain on the window.
After about ten minutes of laying there trying to lull herself back to sleep, Alice gently removed Dana’s arm from around her and got up with a sigh. She didn’t do much of anything aside from turn her own cell phone and the landline back on, but she left Dana’s phone alone despite the temptation to check it. She knew she was being completely irrational, but it was eating away at her.
After that was done and she’d stood in the living room just staring at the phone for a little bit, she decided she might as well go back to bed. She had no big plans the next day aside from meeting with Ruth and some of the station heads to discuss the future of the Chart and the direction the station wanted it to take, but she felt like she should get some sleep anyway.
She thought Dana was asleep until she’d slid back into bed. Dana’s arm had gone around her again immediately, and she’d snuggled up to Alice like she usually did. Still, just after Alice closed her eyes, Dana kissed her forehead and murmured sleepily, “Did you turn the phones back on?”

YEY!! Dane is cancer free!!! lol whee~ whee~ I’m sorry, I ate too much sugar. Anyway, I agree with ACH21, I can totally see Alice fallin’ asleep after sex lol funny. I’m so relieved that Dana doesn’t have cancer again. I knew that you wouldn’t be so cruel with us readers but as I read Dana and Alice’s feelings, I couldn’t help but feel a bit worried. Nway, great job! PPS
It really is an emotional rollercoaster for the two of them! I hopethe next sirgery will be the last one for Dana for a while. Loved the part were Alice was going on and on about the tone of voice. I could totally see the two of them ‘bickering’.
First of all, ditto all my previous comments on the chapter. Excellent job! Now… FWIW: I knew it wasn’t bad news (that the cancer hadn’t returned). That didn’t stop me from wanting to know what the surgery was he was referring to. I’m noisy that way. Plus, your writing is excellent and you have me even more invested in these characters than I already was. Thank you for not keeping us in suspense too long. I’m glad Dana made a decision on reconstruction. I think making that choice — no matter which way she decided — is a step towards moving on with the rest of her life. And this cracked me up for some reason: “And to be honest, she usually falls asleep after sex anyway. I’ll have at least a few hours.” — Hee! Go put your woman to sleep, Dane! Thanks, MT!!
