Her enthusiasm for so simple an event was catching, and I got up and threw on some sweats to follow her up onto the deck. It was pretty quiet, since dawn hadn’t even really started to come up over the ocean yet. We went and stood at the bow of the second deck and stayed there as the sun came up and sparkled over the water.
“I wish we could stay like this forever,” I told her. Through all my happiness I was still afraid that I was going to wake up from this incredible dream, where I was happy and healthy and Alice was beside me. I felt like there was no way it could last; I didn’t deserve it.
She seemed to know exactly what I meant. I felt her lean back into me, and I held her there as if I might never get another chance.
That day, we stayed on deck most of the time, just sitting together in one of the chairs and talking. I told her everything I was thinking, about the cancer and how it was casting a shadow over what should have been one of the best days of my life. It still was, I guess…it just felt so surreal, like I shouldn’t have been there at all.
Thankfully, she understood everything I was saying. As we sat there wrapped up in each other’s arms, she haltingly explained to me that she felt the same way, that she felt like she was undeserving of my love and our marriage because of the sickness. “And it’s stupid, but I just feel like…I dunno, Dana. Sometimes I wonder if I’m just crazy again and I’m imagining all these good things.” She said it quietly and simply, and I knew exactly how she felt. It was something neither of us could really explain, but it was good to know that we didn’t really have to. The only person we really needed to have understand it already did, and even though it was really kinda depressing, somehow that was incredibly comforting.
“Are you happy, Alice?” I asked her later that day. I know she’d told me before that she was deliriously happy, but I still couldn’t help myself from feeling nervous about it. “I don’t want you to settle out of some sort of guilt, Al. All I want is for you to be happy. I don’t want to end up being some kind of disappointment to you.”

AWESOME! I love how you have Dana being so in-love with Alice, just utterely and completely. That is how I saw it happening on the real show ‘if’ that ding dong IC didn’t knock TV Dana off…ugh it still bugs me, why, okay I can rant on that one forever…back to your story…I truly love this story, so well written you can actually visualize the scenes. And yeah nice touch with the shower, I love it! Nice work!
No, you can’t let her slip away yet, there are years and years of stories to be told … and you must tell it as wonderfully as you have up to now.
I forgot to add this to my comment last night. After watching the Afterellen’s vlog: Worst Lesbian TV Moments where Killing Dana was the #1, I was really bumped out all over again. Then your post came along in the early hours in the morning made me feel a whole lot better. I just wanted you to know that. Honestly, it is this alternative universe of fanfics which gives me a little comfort and plenty of laughs. I cannot stress enough just how much miss DF on the show. Thanks MT and all you Danish writers again.
gasp. But I know you will get Alice back, I just know it. And I love how much in love they were back in the days and still are of course. It’s wonderfully desribed by you. Great.
I agree with MaGoose, this chapter really was a rollercoaster of emotions. I loved the whole interaction with Shane and Bette . And then the kiss Alice gave to Dana right before she slipped back in her coma. Poor Dana. :( I hope Alice will come by for a little while. *keeps fingers crossed*
“So fucking cute”, and Shane was sooo effin’ right! I agree with ACH21, there’s no doubt in my mind that Dana would be consummed body and soul with her love for Alice. It’s very touching, *sigh*. I also have to add that the humor in this story is cracking me up, spot on there MT! I am anxiously waiting to hear more about their life together…
Running out of hot water, fantastic. Bette & Shane’s note was even better. Keeping the passport with the sex toys, LMAO! How the hell do you eat crabs legs with one hand? Ha-ha-haa. S was a real good friend getting D her 3 boxes of seasickness pills. The sunrise scene was perfect. I think this Alaskan honeymoon cruise was just what the doctor ordered. And just when I was having fun reading this update, A might have slipped back into a coma. My heart goes out to D and thank god Charlie and S showed up at the right time. Please let A stay for a little bit longer. Thank you MT for another awesome update. I hope you will be able to post another one before your trip if you have the time.
noooooooooooooooooooooo :'(
Incredible chapter, MT! I started to cut and paste my favorite lines to comment on. However, I realized that it was most of the chapter. What a roller coaster of humor, drama, sadness, romance, sex… I’ve said it before and I will keep saying it: You rock at writing Danish. I trust that Alice will be back from the coma — I know you have a lot more to say about their years together. Thanks so much for the update!!
at last I get a chance to read some stories and I headed straight for yours. This story is fantastic you write so well and are developing the long happy life together that we know this pair could have had beautifully. I expectantly await the next chapter!!!!!
