“Damn did I stare that much?”

“Just a bit.”

“So who is the lucky person and when do I get to meet them. They are a lucky person you’re a great catch.”

Did she just flirt with me, Damit Stay on task Alice.

“There is no lucky person male or female. It was not an ought-oh baby either I’m not a slut.”

“I never said you where, Alice does everyone else know and I the last to find out?”

“Yes Dana everyone else knows and I’m not proud that I didn’t tell you I wanted you to be the first to know but for some reason I couldn’t tell you.”

“Well why not I mean I’m supposed to be your best friend. I still am aren’t I?”

“Yes are you and you are so much more too, but can you just let me explain.”

Remembering what Shane had said to her she nodded her head for Alice to continue.

“After my mom died I went through a lot of shit, you know this. It took months of drinking and then months of therapy for me to see things straight. My therapist had me talking about things I had never told another living sole. And then I came to the conclusion from it all, that all I really wanted was to settle down and have a normal family, the family I didn’t get to have. One where everyone sits around the table for dinner every night, goes on vacation every summer. To put it bluntly the “Hallmark Card Family”. After confirming I was of sound mind I went through the artificial insemination process. And even after I found out I had this life growing inside of me, I still wasn’t happy. It was then I realized I have a family it wasn’t the “Hallmark Family” but it was close enough. It was you and the gang, we meet at the planet everyday and went on vacation every summer. I have my family and I abandon them which wasn’t fair. But I’m so blessed that you guys are welcoming me back no questions asked. LA is where my life is and where I want my child’s life to be. I guess I just had to leave to realize that.”
