Lara wearily opened her eyes. She smiled at Alice who was peering worriedly over Janice’s shoulder. "You might want to give her an anxiety pill." She nodded towards Alice.
Janice smiled. "I didn’t realize I had someone breathing down my neck."
Alice stepped back. "Sorry."
Janice laughed and shone the light briefly in each of Lara’s eyes. "Mmm." She murmured.
"What’s that mean?" Alice asked worriedly.
Janice shook her head. "Sorry. I just do that now and again. Nothing to worry about." She looked over at the second paramedic. "Billy….I think we need to get the stretcher. I don’t want Ms. Perkins walking just yet."
Lara groaned. "I’m okay. Really."
Janice patted Lara’s right shoulder. "Humour me. Besides, it’s a fun ride."
Alice cleared her throat, "I’ll just dash up and get your wallet and lock up your apartment okay?"
As Billy went for the stretcher and Alice trotted upstairs, Janice took a small case out of her bag. "Ms. Perkins, did you trip coming down the stairs, or did you faint?"
"Alice told me I fainted."
"Do you have any medical conditions that you know of that would cause you to faint? Are you diabetic?"
"No."
"Do you mind if I do a finger stick to check your blood glucose level?"
"Go ahead."
Janice took a small meter out of the case and in just a moment had pricked Lara’s finger and transferred a small volume of blood to a test strip. The meter beeped and a number flashed on the screen. "47. That’s pretty low. Are you hypoglycemic?"
"Not that I know of."
Alice came down the stairs in time to hear the next series of questions.
"Have you eaten today, and have you consumed any alcohol in the last twenty four hours?"
"No and yes. I haven’t eaten, because I felt ill after having a little too much to drink last night."
"Ahh. That could have triggered a hypoglycemic event." Janice nodded. "Can you eat a sugar tablet for me?"
Alice leaned against the wall, her knees suddenly weak with relief. That has to be it, she thought. It is as simple as not eating all day. Thank God! She took a ragged breath.
Both Lara and Janice looked at Alice who waved weakly. "Don’t mind me."

Shoot…I can relate to the fainting…and the effect it has on someone who is with you when you do it…I hope she is okay. So Bette & Tina will run into each other at the hospital….is this a good thing or a bad thing. And I’ll be waiting for you to hook my girl Bette up with someone…remember you promised…
I’m glad there was nothing more to Lara falling of the stairs (there really isn’t, is there?). I can totally understand that Alice had a little anxiety attack at the hospital…the memories of the last time she was there aren’t good at all. I really love this story, I like the whole pace of it. Keep it up!
Great =) more soon, k?
poor alice and I hope that lara is ok please post soon and great update I lov it and I can’t wait to see what happens next
Wow. How the HELL did I miss so many great fucking updates?! I just caught up on the last few chapters, and I have to say that I am totally in love with this story. I really started to dig the Lace thing at the end of season three (as much as my Danish loving heart hates to admit), and you write it better than IC could ever dream of. Please continue soon, because I will be anxiously awaiting your next update! This is an awesome story that is beautifully written! :-)
loved it! but what else is new? my friend just fainted the other day and fell off a ladder, so i went through a similar scare as this one. i know how alice feels! well im looking foward to your next update!
Gah I’m addicted to this story so much now! It’s keeping that little flame alive in my heart that there will possibly be more of a lace storyline in the next season (… a little fire which IC will no doubt extinguish with a big bucket of festering crap…). It’s great, so much drama, so much sexual tension! And the comment Lara made in the previous chapter to Alice, well it almost broke my heart. Update soon k? Cause it’s awsome.
OMG don’t tease us with such fast updates, I love them too much;) Please post soon to feed my habit. I’m totally curious to find out what is really wrong with our girl Lara. I enjoy how you’ve maintained the Dana connection with the apprehension of Alice entering the hospital too. I hope that Lace can comfort each other soon and keep working their issues out. And you DO know that our screens might explode from all the over-the-top hotness of tension released if/when you have them get together. Or am I being presumptuous? Also: OK, you got me, Lara pregs may be a tad much at this point. Regardless, this story rocks and I agree with bojangles that it keeps the thought of the Lace storyline alive…it just doesn’t make sense to NOT have them as the ‘it’ couple in S4, but then again, who knows what IC & Co. are thinking… waah. Post soon and you rock!
