Lest I Forget (33)
After they left, the room was silent. I took my seat again and leaned in to kiss Alice. “She seems really happy,” I told her. Alice signed “I know” rather awkwardly, but I understood her. Then she looked me up and down and made the sign for “eat.”
“No, I haven’t yet,” I replied. “Shane and Jenny will probably bring something, you know how they are. And if not I’ll go back up there or have them stop off for something on the way home.”
She sighed and gave as close to a shrug as she could, letting me know that she wasn’t a fan of the plan but that telling me so wouldn’t help matters. When I just sat there smiling at her, she rolled her eyes and brought her hand up to rub her stomach. “Shit!” I exclaimed, remembering that her dinner was on the table and that she couldn’t exactly eat it without my help. “I’m sorry, baby.”
She sighed and smiled to show me that it was all right, and I picked up the cup of soup. It was still a little warm, but had cooled down considerably, which relieved me. I wouldn’t be able to tell if it was too hot for her. She had nearly eaten the entire cup when Shane knocked on the plastic panel beside the door. She didn’t wait for permission to enter and just walked in, with Jenny trailing behind her carrying a large brown paper sack.
“We brought you a grilled chicken sandwich and garlic mashed potatoes that have peas in them,” Shane told me.
“And fruit salad. Well, not really, I just put grapes and apple slices and pears in a bowl,” Jenny added.
“Fruit is fruit,” I said with a shrug. “Just let me finish up here.”
They nodded and sat in the chairs against the wall, putting the bag of food on the side table. It didn’t take long for me to finish giving Alice dinner; she’d been nearly done when they came in. I gave her a few sips of apple juice and then wiped her mouth a little.
“Come here and eat,” Jenny commanded me when that was finished. I decided to just go ahead and obey her rather than arguing, and I was pretty hungry anyway. As I ate, they both went over to say hi to Alice and talk to her a little bit.

Another great update from you MT! I hope Gemma would be the one for Kallie. You never know if he or she would be the one but at least Kallie was giving love another try. I also like Shane and Jenny adopting Ryan. Love the fact that they all stayed as close friends over the years. Good to see A interacting a little bit more. The scene when they discussed Kallie and Gemma was very entertaining. MT, you are a fantastic storyteller. Thank you so very much for updating this story.
Excellent as always, MT!! I know I keep saying it, but, I love how you have Alice having lost so much but still being able to be so Alice (like giving Dana the finger, harassing Dana about not helping her eat and thinking about how she could continue to write among so many other little touches). Poor Kallie. Her last break-up must have been truly devastating. Gemma may not be forever, but, at least she is making an effort to try another relationship. Love the additional background on Shane and Jenny’s relationship and history. So happy to hear they were able to foster several kids and adopt two. Great story. Thanks so much!!
Amazing chap!!!
Such another fantastic update. Love Alice giving the finger …
