    Author Notes:

    More about preparing for Kallie.

    “Relax,” Shane told me when she gave me a hug goodbye. It was all she said, but it helped. A little. Nothing could have calmed me down completely given the state I was in, but that solitary word took a little of the edge off. I was grateful.

    The ride to the Center seemed really short, mostly because I was completely lost in my own thoughts. At first, I allowed myself to entertain the notion that the paperwork wouldn’t go through, or I’d flub the interview, or my cancer would deem us ineligible to care for Kallie, or something. My mind went through a thousand different scenarios as to why we’d be denied, and every single one of them broke my heart. Still, I knew I had to be prepared in case one of them came true. If it did, I needed to put aside my own feelings and be there for Alice. She’d take it a thousand times harder than I did.

    I tried to steer my mind away from the bad thoughts, and I was able to. The last half of the ride to the Center was spent with me staring out the passenger window, thinking of all the things I’d have to do if she was allowed to come home with us. I’d have to make her a nursery, and I’d have to make the entire house kid-proof. I’d need to buy some padding material to put on the corners of the cabinets and the furniture, and we’d need baby gates. We’d also need baby furniture. We needed to buy bottles and onesies and baby food and…

    “Dana, what the fuck is wrong with you?”

    I turned to see Alice looking at me with a mixture of exasperation ad concern.

    “Huh?” I asked, trying to figure out what I’d done this time.

    “We’ve been sitting here for like five minutes now. I was waiting for you to, I don’t know, get out of the car?” she said, sounding less concerned now and more exasperated.

    “I’m sorry; I was thinking,” I told her.

    “As much as I appreciate the fact that you have the capacity to perform that function, you need to put it on hold for awhile so we can go fill out forms. I’m sure it’ll just be things like income and occupation and all that stuff. Helena said the first round of paperwork isn’t usually too bad.” She paused. “But it might not look so good if we’re a half hour late getting in there, considering we pulled into the lot right behind Helena.”

    4. 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!!

    5. 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!
