“Thanks it took a lot of hard work but it’s paying off. Come sit down everyone.”

“So Alice how does it feel to be back?”

“Well I haven’t had much time to take it all in but it feels good I feel at home really glad to be back T.”

Alice sent a smile Dana’s way luckily no one picked up on it except Shane of course

“It’s good to have you back.”

“Thanks Bette.”

“This calls for a toast I’ll bring the drinks.”

“Just a soda for me Kit.”

“That’s right my baby girls got a baby inside of her.”

“How is everything going with the baby?”

“Everything is fine T, I’m healthy the baby’s healthy, and I’m really over joyed that I’m gonna be a mother.”

“I still can’t believe you are going to be the first one to have a baby, I always thought that honor would go to Bette and Tina.”

“Well Shane I’m just at the point in my life where this is what I really want I want to settle down and be a mother.”

Dana couldn’t but help let out a smile hoping that maybe Alice would be settling down with her.

“That’s cool Alice very cool.”

Kit came back with the drinks.

“Okay so who is gonna give this toast?”

“I would like to.”

“Alright Dana the floor is yours.”

“This toast is to Alice. I wish you all the best in your return home. You where missed very much in the time you where gone. The group feels whole once again. I hope you get all the happiness and love you so very much deserve. I also hope that all goes well in your pregnancy we are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of our newest family member. He or she will receive all the love they could ever need from this group of women. Here’s to you Alice.

All at once. “To Alice”

The rest of the evening was spent just joking and catching up on all the events Alice had missed. She was so amazed how everything thing was so different but at still the same. Dana watched Alice all evening just taking in the sight of her, her beautiful smile her laugh and her over all sexiness that just came naturally. Shane went out for a smoke and Dana followed.
