"I know, baby. But just trust in me, okay? And trust in us. We both have to start doing that, and I really think that it’ll all work out, okay?" She noticed the way Dana was beaming back at her and it caught her slightly off guard. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "What?"
"Nothing," she chuckled, the smile growing even wider. "It’s just…you called me your baby."
"Well you are…right?" For a brief moment Alice felt the familiar pangs of insecurity weaving their way through her stomach and wondered if this really was all a dream.
And she was just about to blurt out some silly explanation in order to allow the athlete off the hook if she did in fact not want to be Alice’s baby at all. That is, until Dana kissed her slowly and whispered, "For as long as you want me to be."
———————
She sat in the comforting safe haven that the Mini had become while considering just what was waiting for her once she got out of the car. It wasn’t as if she was unsure that being with Dana was what she really wanted. She knew that on any given day, when she attempted to follow her heart, it lead her back to the athlete 10 out of 10 times. No, it wasn’t a question of confidence in her choice that was plaguing Alice right now. She knew for certain that choosing to be with anyone else but Dana Fairbanks would mean not only that she was living a lie, but would also be terribly insulting to all those involved. Instead, what it really boiled down to was the horrific feeling that began in the pit of her stomach and extended all the way up to the lump in the back of her throat. And this feeling grew all the more intense each time Alice attempted to find the right words needed to tell Jules that she was still in love with someone else.
She first considered sitting the woman down and telling her point blank that she still loved Dana, and that no amount of pretending would ever or could ever change that. But somehow the naked truth sounded more painful to the ears than the subtlety of choosing her words carefully and dragging it out longer than need be. Either way, Alice concluded that she was fucked. How could she possibly find an easy way to break someone’s heart? Especially someone who was so incredibly selfless and caring and patient and kind. It was cruel and inhumane and Alice was in positive agony over the idea of having to do it. Yet, if she didn’t, the agony of being without Dana for one more day would surely be more excruciating than anything Alice could bear.

YAY!!! I love it! Post Soon!
Yay! I’m sitting in a hotel room in London, online for the first time in almost a week, and I see this on the first page. So happy you posted, and what a great chapter. I’m glad my girls are talking and holdong off on just jumping each others’ bones, although I have to be a perv and admit that I think they should jump each others’ bones all the time. And I know she’s already been claimed, but can I have Jules? Give a girl a break, I got through all of L3 without even a kiss. But it was such an awesome time, and all f them were gorgeous. Leisha and Erin kept watching each other talk on stage, and it was enough to make your heart melt. Well, maybe just mine since I’m a sap. This comment is hella long, sorry!
you blow me away. that was so good. i am glad alice went easy on dana when she tried to walk out, that would have sucked if they already got in a fight. i knew jules was going to know (but how could she not?) and yeah she should have let alice have it – but i’m glad she didn’t. we need to meet up in ny sometime soon? i will email you.
What a great update. This is such a fantastic story it’s been such a journey that you have taken this pair on to get to this point I can’t wait to see what you write for them together. Thanks for updating.
I have loved this story from the very beginning. This chapter is another example of your finest writing, beautifully executed. My heart melted while reading A & D’s tender moments. They absolutely belonged together and thanks for reuniting them at last. Simultaneously, I also felt sorry for Jules. Her speech was accurate, wise, thoughtful and most important of all, flawless. It is really pointless to be someone’s #2. Lastly, I want to convey to you my utmost admiration of your ability to deliver a perfectly crafted story. Bravo!
Hey, I’m totally new here and this was one of the first stories i started reading, I’ve been a bit of a silent reader but I finally decided to come and join the gang. I’m so happy you’ve found time to come and write again, this was a flawless and heartfelt chapter and I can’t fault you. Amazing =)
you rock!! so much too, more more please!! i crave this story so much it’s a little weird actually. Your one of two writers that i get really excited for wen i see u’ve posted i just can’t get enough and now that they’re finally back together its just gunna get so much better, poor jules though oh so sorry for her but it had to happen for danish sake. I can’t wait till next time on if i fall…. neways until next time i guess :) snaps for the swissmister!!!
Excellent chapter as always, swismiss24!! You write both girls so well — so honestly. And it’s great that they are actually communicating. I also love the maturity of the both of them. They both wanted to stay and get re-connected but both realized they had other things they needed to do. Gives me hope that things will work out this time around for them. “Capitan” Hee! Jules? Come on over here and MaGoose will take care of you. ;-D Thanks so much, swismiss24. This really was an amazing update to the story!
I feel sorry for Jules. She’s a great woman, if she were real and here, well somebody would be awfully lucky to have her! hehe This is one awesome chapter swismiss. But even if Jules is great and all, it wouldn’t be fair o neither of them if they continued sailing their ship. Thanks for updating! dear awesomeness:)
Nicely done yet again! I really like the fact Danish slowed down and talked to each other. It’s encouraging to see their relationship maturing. As much as I liked the impulsiveness of “Finally” in S2, I equally enjoyed those few glimpses we had into their still-intimate but less frenzied conversations. Thanks for rounding out their interation for us here. Congratulations on your Bar results! As always, I’m looking forward to the next installment. Thanks for continuing.
I hope you plan to update this AMAZING story soon!
