I was going to say something else, but she waved her hand around to stop me from doing so. She turned to look at me, and her eyes said that the conversation was over, at least for now. I sighed, because I felt we needed to discuss it, but she was obviously stressed out and I didn’t want to add to that if it was at all possible. So, I sighed and shifted a little in my chair before I continued the story.
**********
We’d gone to a small café for lunch, and it wasn’t the Planet. Since that was usually where we all went, especially if there was a group of us together, it felt a little bit like a betrayal. Still, Alice and I were pretty overwhelmed, and while I loved Kit, sometimes her loud enthusiasm was too much for me. We’d tell her and everyone else later, of course, but for the moment I was perfectly content to have a quiet lunch with our little group just as it was.
I don’t remember what I ate, or what anyone else ate. All I could focus on was being as perfect as I possibly could at any and all interviews. In my mind, I needed to be perfect even when filling out the initial paperwork. I felt like any mistake or comment made at less than the best second would mean Kallie couldn’t come home with us. It surprised me a little that I referred to her by her new name, even in my head.
I was out of it throughout the entire meal. I’m not sure if anyone really noticed or not, but nobody tried to initiate conversation with me. That was most likely because Alice was talking over everyone else. She’d gotten her excitement over the whole situation back, and seemed to be driving everyone absolutely nuts. They humored her, though, which was really nice of them.
After lunch was over, Helena asked if Alice and I were ready to go to the Center for our paperwork. I almost panicked; paperwork would get the entire process started, and what if it somehow wasn’t good enough? I didn’t think I’d be able to take it if I wasn’t able to take Kallie home.

That was a wonderful chapter. Glad that Shane maded the crib/ and Jenny go the bumper pad now let bring that baby home.
awesome, awesome chapter!!
Yay! Really getting into this story now!! :D:D
Woo hoo!!! Great update. So happy that Alice and Dana are doing well at the moment and that Alice may get a new room soon and start rehab. I feel so much for both women on the long-term care thing. I have faith in you to take care of them on this. Even though I know Kallie ends up with Alice and Dana, it is still a bit of a emotional rollercoaster reading about the journey to get there. I love that Dana, who is usually so bad with words, had no problem with the essay on the forms. “They’ll never let us have her if they think you’re high on speed.” — Hee! Hopefully the biological mother doesn’t show up. Although I do like Dana’s viewpoint on that — at least they are saving Kallie from bouncing around the system. Excellent!! I hope your groove continues. Thanks you so much MT!!
MT, I continue to enjoy your humor in this chapter. Again the writing was fantastic. Both A & D being all nervous about the process was palpable. I also like the fact that Shane made the bed for Kallie and Jenny adding the bedding. Very touching. It saddens me to think of the whole rehab issue. I sincerely hope that A would recuperate well enough to stay in the house with D forever. THANK YOU very much!
