All The White Horses: Part Three (3/5)
“She was making out with Alice on the porch,” announced Howie in very
self satisfied tones. When four heads turned to glare at him in perfect
synchronization he wore a wounded look and pressed a hand to his chest.
“What? I’m just reporting things. I’m not actually doing them.”
Ignoring this, Sharon cleared her throat and focused on Dana, tenderly
holding her daughter’s chin in the palm of her hand. “Are you hungry?”
she questioned. “I’ve had Marta make all your favorites.”
“All of them?” asked Dana with a teasing smile and laugh.
“All of them,” said Sharon proudly, her eyes gleaming as she fingered a
lock of wavy brown hair that escaped from behind Dana’s ear. “Roast
turkey, made from scratch stuffing, scallion potatoes, and apple maple
cream pie. Made with Golden Delicious, not Gala apples.”
“What’s your deal with Gala apples anyway, big sis?” called Howie from
where he sat at the bottom of the stairs. “I never got your problem
with them. I think they taste good.”
“They’re tiny! And they’re not red or yellow or even green. They’re a
freakish color mixture of red and yellow. How can you like a fruit that
doesn’t have a definitive color?” Dana exclaimed, waving her hands
around but allowing Sharon to lead her into the dining room as Alice
followed close behind. “It’s not right. Besides, Golden Delicious are
the best kind of apples. They’re sweet but not too sweet and they’re
not bitter in taste. Bitter apples are the worst.”
“But I like Granny Smith apples,” said Irwin, frowning slightly and trailing along.
“You’re the only one, Dad,” said Howie with a chuckle, pushing off the
steps to walk after his family. “Didn’t you ever wonder why the members
of your notoriously food stealing clan never tried to steal any of your
apples? It’s because you’re the lone maverick who likes their bitterly
bitter taste.”
“I thought it was out of fatherly respect,” Irwin remarked, still sounding confused.
On hearing this, the three other Fairbanks burst into affectionate
laughter and began discussing the time they had gone apple picking and
Irwin unknowingly offered them some of his granny smith apples to eat
and couldn’t understand when they wouldn’t take one.
Dinner was pleasant and meandering, their conversation was peppered
with countless family memories and anecdotes. Everyone present seeming
to want to focus on the good in their times together and none wanting
to even begin to contemplate that because of Dana’s illness they might
not have more of those good times to talk about.

Wow, I know you’re an amazing writer from prior fics but you are outdoing yourself on this one. It’s truly amazing and I loved reading it. The details are fantastic. I’m hoping for a happy ending for our girls….but I’m sure you will do the story justice. Thank you!
wow…oh wow! you definitely outdid yourself on this fic. i loved how you focused so much on their unwavering love for each other despite all the changes. their relationship will only get stronger as long as they go along w/ the changes and not stubbornly hold on to the past. i don’t know a lot about cancer treatment, but shouldn’t dana have the mastectomy first and then chemotherapy? anyway, awesome story.
Crumbs!!! That was absolutley awesome, I loved it, from begininng to end. I think your such a talented writer. Besides layla, that it blows my mind. I read it twice, it is a great, great story and I can’t wait for the cont. Please post when ye can and I’m glad ye have a life now ( ;Cheers!!! Peace.
this was great and it took me all afternoon to read it I just hope that in this story dana will beat the cancer and they will have a happy ever after please post soon
This was AMAZING! after watching what i personaly thought wasn’t a great danish season, i have decided that the show should use your story for season 3 as it is PERFECT xxx
I am not fawning but I am speechless. Dayum, girl…you can write…but you already knew that. I can guess that you don’t care much about Bette and Tina. But in general, what do you think of the season so far? Dana dies in this upcoming episode. That sucks and IMO will unbalance the karma of the group. I don’t see you post very often on the MBs but would be interested in your posting your perspective.
Thanks, thanks, thanks if at least we had had the chance of this in the show :( . Great as always.
azmama – My thoughts are rarely logical but here is their twisted train during the airing of episode 310 via a post in my lame ass LJ.http://dreiser.livejournal.com/39785.html
Heartbreaking – but so much love. Don’t we all long for such a connection. I haven’t seen Series 3, but from what has been said on the boards, I can only feel that this storyline has been dreadfully mishandled and has been treated with very little sensitivity or honesty – the only redeeming feature being the way in which ED and LeH have portrayed their roles. Your story is overwhelming in its emotional impact. I wish IC would read and learn. I think I may have said it before, but you are an amazing writer and I am humbled in your presence.
wow beautiful i just read ur story not sure if i’ve read it before amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
