I smiled at her, “Dana, for my birthday I want you to get better. I will take you shopping for your last year’s fashions, or even next year’s fashions. I just want you to get better. That’s what you can give me for my birthday, a promise for a shopping spree.”
She held my hand, grinned and said, “I promise. When I get better, you will take me shopping.”
She closed her eyes and drifted off back to sleep. She was so still, her body so thin, her skin pale and her hands were icy cold, I found myself watching for the rise and fall of her chest with each breath. I really wanted Dana to get better. Since I was there with her when she learned her diagnosis, I wanted to see her beat it. She deserved the shopping trip and more if she survived this. Although it was just a short time with her that morning, I felt the weight that Alice and her family must feel caring for her on a daily basis. What I could offer her was so limited. I was never very religious but I found myself saying a prayer for her. If there was a higher power, force or God out there that was listening, I wanted them to work to save my friend.
I was restless that day when I got home. I felt very alone and depressed about Dana and about my rotation on oncology in general. I gave a call to Carmen but she was busy in the Pediatric Intensive Care unit and couldn’t talk. I tried to get some sleep since I was practically up all night but sleep was not my friend that day. I was in a daze when I got a text message, “I need your address for Saturday.”
I texted my address back and she responded, “Are we still on for 7am.”
I smiled and responded, “Yes. I’ve been getting ready for you.”
“Good. I thought I might have to go EZ on u, but since u r getting ready, I’ll make sure u get a good work-out.”
I flinched and wondered if I should be so enthusiastic. I sent her a message back. “U have me very scared.”

Good to have you back Squirl, I did miss your Saturday morning post and now that the show is over will be looking forward to them even more. All of them not just Saturday mornings just to clearify. I can see where this chapter would have been super duper hard to write, it was hard to read some of it, you have a great understanding from both sides of the fence. So Raquel is on the way back, YES oh YES, didn’t even see that “perhaps” word, ya just don’t even pay it any attention. I agree with you, Thanking IC and the crew for the last 6 years and I say LONG LIVE FAN FICTION. Thank you, Md aka Oma
S once again you did a wonderful chapter here with Helena finally growing up as she is thinking of other’s beside herself. I must say I wish you along with a few of my other favorite writers here should have written the finale cause this is so much better IMO ;)
First, its great to see another chappie from you Squirl! I thought it would be the one with Bette and Helena jogging but I’m guessing that’s next. I loved the texting and the scene with Peggy and Helena. Perhaps Peggy did have Helena’s heart in mind despite the cruelty of her plan. The writing from S6 was some of the most disappointing to date from the entire series. So many WTFs left open and unanswered…I’m not the least surprised that Dylena broke up. IC has a serious issue with couples staying together – I thought she said something very notable in the show preceeding the final… “My own particular process is not to deal…” Well, I guess that explains why her characters don’t have the chance to deal either. Okay, I’ll stop before I get started. Hope you post the next chappie soon!
Excellent! I loved it…very emotional all around. Wow…Al is definitely walking in Lara’s place…Great words of support and compassion from Helena. I’m sure it was difficult to write but flowed quite effortlessly. Looks like Helena and Carmen are well underway with being friends and Bette and Helena…are on their way to being more…lol! Thanks for continuing to post…PPS
Hey S, that was a very good post..and I can appreciate that it was hard to write, you could feel it in each word…geez…whew…now you owe us a happy chapter sister….so get to writin’ (big smile)!!!
please, please a hot b-day kiss from bette to helena you guys are all we have left now!!!!
Yeah, I was that tired and disoriented once starting a new job that I actually went to the job before I realized it was PM and not AM. I’ve always felt that Peggy did her flawed best by Helena, sometimes inflicting unintended damage when she meant to protect and aware of what might turn up attracted to the Peabody fortune rather than the Peabody person. Yeah, mixed feelings with the end of the show, which actually was interesting to watch, not always the case with IC. Of course, absolutely NOTHING got wrapped up, but that’s par for. But I will miss it and the characters. And yes, long live fan fic.
