    Author Notes:

    Dana gets some news and some food, and talks some more.

    When they’d gone, I called my kids and gave them an update on their mom’s condition, and told them a little of what Dr. Hernandez had said. They both seemed sad to hear that she wouldn’t speak again, but happy that she was expected to recover by quite a bit in other ways. I shared their feelings on both things, and while I knew it was totally selfish and greedy of me to feel cheated that she wouldn’t be able to talk to me anymore, it didn’t change the fact that I did.

    Still, being able to go into her room and hold her hand made me feel incredibly grateful that she was still with me. I knew it was going to be a hell of a long and difficult recovery process for her, and I knew she was going to hate it. Still, it was a million times better than the alternative, and I struggled to keep that in the forefront of my mind as I sat next to her bed and just watched her breathe.

    As I sat there, my mind wandered a little bit, and I wondered what it was going to be like after she was able to come home with me. Obviously we’d have to get used to things the way they were, and I was okay with that. Sure, it stung right now, and I already hated not hearing her voice. But at least she was still with me. Anything else was just secondary to that, so deep in my heart it wasn’t too big a deal.

    It was going to kill her, though. Alice had always used words as her weapon of choice, and while she could still do that to an extent I knew that the loss of speech was going to be a really tough pill for her to swallow. I really hoped she’d take advantage of psychological help in the very near future, because this was going to depress the hell out of her. It was depressing me, and it was such a tiny thing in the grand scheme of it all that I was ashamed of myself for feeling the way I did.

    That didn’t really alleviate my sadness, though, and I hated myself a little bit for it. I had no idea how to reconcile the past with the future, and even if I had, I wasn’t something I was really looking forward to focusing on.

    1. Another excellent chapter, MT! This is really such a moving story. It’s funny — I can empathize with Dana. When the story started, I expected Alice to not make it. I know I should be happy that she will, but, I am still sad that she will lose her ability to talk. And, yes, I know they are not real people. You just write them so well that it is hard not to think about them as such. You are doing a great job in writing what Dana is going through. You get into an almost “institutional” mode when you are keeping vigil like this. I think her talking about their past is a good way to get away from that for at least a little bit. I’m glad Dana is thinking ahead about getting Alice some help for the depression that she might feel. I’ll be curious to see what the real deal is with Alice and the Chicago trip. Thank you so much for the update. I know it must be hard to write such an emotional story when you are feeling down. I’ll add by hugs to wondering’s and my hopes that you are feeling better.

    3. Hey, sorry to hear things are so difficult for you at the moment. The story as always was wonderful, I’m glad that Alice seems to be pulling through a little bit but the challenges ahead seem pretty enormous. The relationship you have written for this pair over their lifetime however gives me hope that they will have the strength to come through it. Sending you big hugs and hoping the sun starts to shine for you!

    4. *gives hugs* Tis is a very good chapter MT. I agree with Magoose that with your stories, you write them so well that I can’t help but sometimes feel it’s real. Your stories are all very moving, yes even the short ones *wink* I hope everything will be okay MT. Thanks for the chapter.

    5. Once Again Amazing!!! I love the flashabacks, so freaking adorable! I never want to get out of bed either!!!Hope you are feeling better! Put your face in the sun a little bit, it always makes me feel better!!
