We couldn’t think of anything else to do besides going home and cleaning up in case the interview happened that day. We didn’t talk much. We weren’t really in the mood, and there was a lot of underlying tension and apprehension over what was to come for us to really feel comfortable talking about trivial things. And honestly, everything that didn’t have to do with Kallie and her arrival seemed trivial to me at that point. I’m not entirely sure if Alice felt the same way, but I like to think that she did.
I was wiping down the counters for the third time when Alice’s phone rang. It was on the counter where she’d set it before she went to dust the living room, and I picked it up so she wouldn’t kill herself slipping on the kitchen floor. I’d just mopped it. “Hello?” I asked hesitantly. While it was sort of stupid since I doubt anyone else cared if I happened to pick up my wife’s cell phone, it felt weird to me to do it.
“Dana? How would you feel about having an interview in a hour?” Helena asked, sounding rushed.
I glanced at the clock. It was three in the afternoon, and I was nowhere near ready. “Sure! That sounds great!” I told Helena cheerfully, hoping that she wouldn’t be able to tell I wasn’t cheerful at all. Panicked, but not cheerful. I felt that if I asked for more time, they might consider giving Kallie to someone else because of it.
Helena told me to expect a woman named Rebecca in an hour, and let me go. I thought I heard the beginning of a chuckle on the other end of the line, but she hung up before I could be sure. I stared at the phone in my hand for what seemed like and eternity before I snapped out of it. I started to run to the living room, sliding over the final ten feet of kitchen floor I’d just mopped.
“Al! Come on! We have to shower!” I yelled as I got to the living room doorway. She just looked at me as if I’d grown another head and waved me to the bathroom.

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!
