After about three hours in the Planet the group said their goodbyes to Alice and Dana and headed for their respective workplaces. Then Dana called out for Shane as she made her way to her car.

"Hey Shane."

"Yeah, what’s up?"

"Can you come to fetch me in two hours time? I want to leave my car for Al in case she needs it."

"Ok, no problem, anything for you my friend." Shane said. She was surprised as Dana pulled her in for a hug.

"Thanks Shane, thank you so much."

She smiled into the hug and patted lightly onto Dana’s back.

"It’s ok, Dana. Everything will be fine between you and Alice." With that Dana pulled away and smiled at her before making her way to her car. Alice and Chris were waiting inside.

"Ok, let’s go." Dana smiled to both of them as she pulled out from the parking lot and headed for her house.

The way to Dana’s house was filled with silence. Dana stealed a glance at Alice’s direction and saw her looking out through the window. Dana cleared her throat.

"So, how’s life in New York?" Alice shifted her gaze to Dana.

"Pretty good Dane. I have just promoted to chief editor few months ago. I have been pretty busy ever since."

"Ohh, so how about our little one over here? Is he good to his mommy?" Both of them laughed as Chris scrunched his nose at Dana.

"Well, he was pretty handy at first but he has been a good boy now. You see, I am always busy at work so I have to leave Chris at the day care. But he seems to understand my work nature and never complaints."

Dana tried to process on Alice’s statement. Why she needs to do that? Where is her other half? she asked herself. Then she looked at Chris from her rear mirror. Fair hair just like Alice, hmm, and he can beats me in a goofy contest. Who is Chris father? she thought again.

"I like Chris, he’s so much fun to play with." Dana looked at Alice and smiled.

"Hey Chris, how old are you?" Chris was too occupied with Dana’s tennis racket that he couldn’t hear her.

"Ohh, sorry, I think he likes your racket. Hey Chris, Dana is asking you a question."

"Huh?" Chris looked up from the racket.

"How old are you sweety?" Dana asked.

"Ohh, I am five years old already." Chris answered and quickly shifted his attention to the racket.

"Ooohh." Was all Dana could say. She tried to register what she heard. Five years old. Does that mean Alice was pregnant with Chris when she left me? Dana held onto her steering so tight that her knuckles became white.

"Are you ok?" Dana was out of her thought.

"Huh? Yeah, I am ok. Hey we arrive already."

Dana parked her car in the driveway and get out from it. She opened the rear door and helped Chris to alight from the car. She walked to her front door hand in hand with Chris, which didn’t go unnoticed by Alice.

"Al, Alice!" Alice was snapped out from her thought.

"Yeah?"

"Are you gonna come in or just stand there for the whole day?"

Ok, coming."
