Dana took this information in and said, "What about her head? She’s been saying that it hurts pretty badly."
The doctor nodded, saying, "Not unusual for patients with minor head trauma. I’ve given her something for the pain and it’ll probably keep her pretty drowsy. Don’t be surprised if she’s in and out for a while."
The girls looked down at Alice who was clearly in an "out" phase.
The doctor moved forward, blushing as he brushed past Helena to get to Alice.
Helena rolled her eyes good-naturedly and questioned, "When can we take her home, Dr. Lennox?"
He didn’t turn around completely as he said, "I think we’ll leave her with the IV for a few more hours and monitor her levels. If she continues improving I think we might be able to discharge her this afternoon."
Dana grinned and the doctor stepped back from Alice’s bed to say in a stern tone, "Is someone going to be able to stay with her? She really needs close supervision for the next twenty-four hours. There’s always a risk that the fever could return."
Seeing the grim, worried look on Dana’s face in particular, he said reassuringly, "It’s only a slim possibility. I’m more concerned with Alice having someone around that can make sure she stays in bed and has plenty of access to liquids."
Helena placed a hand on Dana’s shoulder and said to the doctor, "Not to worry. Between the two of us, Alice will be well in hand."
———————————————————————————–
Alice did inded return to the loft that afternoon. Not before she had bewilderedly watched as Helena had gently refused an invitation from Dr. Lennox to join him for dinner sometime. Alice hadn’t missed the wink that Helena shot Bette and she’d said excitedly to Helena, who was pushing her wheelchair, "I demand some answers, Peabody."
The Brit had patted Alice’s shoulder and said, "All in good time, Alice. Let’s get you home, eh?"
Now, thoroughly warm and cozy and doped on pain pills for her head, she was wrapped up in blankets with Dana by her side. Dana had put a tape in the VCR and they’d both settled in to watch but Alice had noticed how tired her girlfriend was and didn’t seem remotely surprised when the tennis player nodded off.
Alice was giggling loopily at the action onscreen when Shane walked into the room to join them.
Seeing that Dana was asleep, Shane sat down gently beside Alice; laughing when the musician leaned heavily against her.
Shane was so relieved to have Alice safe and sound that she didn’t even comment on the unusual bout of snuggling. Instead, she said, "You are one lucky lady, Alice."
The other girl looked up at Shane questioningly and said, "What do you mean?"
Shane laughed and said, "Dana. She loves you, man. Very much. Not that I could ever guess why."
Alice grinned and punched Shane in such an uncoordinated fashion that the blow barely glanced her arm.
Shane settled in again and questioned, "You know you’re gonna get it, right?"
Alice’s brows scrunched together and she said in a baffled tone, "Get what?"
Shane merely smirked and said, "It. Man, once Dana is convinced you’re really okay-"
Her voice trailed off and Alice’s face showed hopefulness as she questioned, "When you say "it". You mean, like sex? Cause she’s so relieved that I’m not dead or something?"
Shane chuckled and replied, "Nope. Not what I mean."
Alice was frowning now and beginning to look apprehensive as she said, "What do you mean then, Riddler? Do I need to consult a crystal ball or are you gonna tell me?"
Shane climbed out of bed and reached down to ruffle Alice’s hair. "I don’t think you’ll need that crystal ball."
Alice stared after Shane who turned around just as she reached the door to Alice’s room and said meaningfully, "Glad you’re okay, Al. You really freaked us out."
The musician looked down for a moment and then responded, "I’m sorry I scared you."
Shane waved and walked away, leaving Alice to mutter, "That’s the last time I ever get sick and faint, man. I’m going to be apologizing to people for scaring them for the next year."
Dana mumbled sleepily, "Fucking A. You’re not allowed to get sick, anymore."

Glad to see Alice is doing well and I love how much they all love each other…it’s really nice…pps
Hiya there frip, great chapter and Al doesnt miss a beat even after knocking on deaths door,,LOL. Seeing Helena wink at Bette. Dana really loves Al, as Shane saw and its the same for Al to Dane. Leonore was cool finally a good mother for he daughter.
so cute. so funny as well. i love the ending scene with alice confused about what “it” was. I must admit, I was confused as well. But I riddled it out. Also – that is hilarious – I also wore m fanny pack with my family in Disney World when I was like 8. I can’t remember but I think it was black with a hot pink line on it. Or fluorescent green with black in it. Maybe I had two, who knows. Either way – I’m sure I looked hot. Glad you got some sleep – now I am gonna get some. sleep, that is.
Awwwww….Alice is okay..I love how Alice just thought of sex right away while talking to Shane. LOL. I love how the doctor was trying to hit on Helena, but she wouldn’t let it go. I wonder what will happen between her and Bette. Anyways, I love that little moment with A & D, telling each other that they love each other. Which is really sweet and adorable. I love how Dana laughed about what Alice said before she passed out and actually told her. I can’t wait for the next chapter. PPS
Awww, cute! I’m sorry I won;t leave a long comment this time, but I just got done working 10-12 hour shifts two days running, so I’m gonna follow that advice I gave you last night. And yep, corn. Chicago’s in Illinois too, but I’m like 3 hours away from there, so all that remains is corn. And some soybeans. And maybe a little wheat down south. That’s about it.
I knew it, close to 3am your post would show up. I am glad to hear that you had your needed sleep. I am kind of like that too. Every other day or 2, I will sleep for 10-12 hours. Love that well rested feeling when I wake up. Anyway I have just finished reading Crossroads ch. 14. You are so right. It is fantastic, a great plot, at times humorous (CD collection, A learning to flip omelets) and Goldrun15 tackled the whole A & L relationship (conversation w/ Uta, Tina and between themselves). Knowing D had passed away, I guess it was probable they were clutches to each other. At times I found it really sad for L’s nightmare and both of them still in mourning. I am beginning to get hooked to this story. Back to yours, A waking up to Lenore hugging D, fabulous! I totally fell for the way you had these two so lovingly cared for each other. I had to laugh at the group sleeping in the waiting room. What a sight! “…you are gonna get it” I wonder what D had in mind because A failed to take care of her health. Without any major aftermath to A, I hope the punishment would be all good and fun. Now, I must get some snooze myself. My raccoon eyes are starting to get noticeable since 2 weeks ago. Somehow, I keep postponing my sleep because I don’t want to miss any Danish posts. fripster, thank you again for another excellent post.
It’s great to see that type of love and dedication amongst friends, because everyone doesn’t have it. I’m also glad to see Alice is well and still have her sense of humor. And lastly Dana is right you would freeze your butt off in hospital…Thanks again for the update!
it is infuriating. I haven’t slept the way I should this passed two weeks, The college festival(s) just ended, I’m completely tired, but my teammates and I won the bowling championship, yay! LOL barely a day after bowling we were sent to a completely different contest, it involved the “best” young writers in the city and we weren’t even briefed for it. We thought we’d just be dozing off a seminar. yeah right, I was so pissed but I kept checking in here to read your posts, read a few chapters of Danish afterwards. I can only sleep 4-6 hours these days. hihihii anyway, I love it that Dana was the one to say she loved Alice, and that Alice said she loved her too. My eyes are petty tired from everything, so I got my glasses back on. I really really love “Let it ride” though and also love the fact that you post regularly. thanks :)x0x
Another great chapter. I’m glad Alice is gonna be okay. I loved the declarations of love. Hope Dana isn’t too hard on Alice for breaking her promise. Will Alice get to hear Dana’s voice mail she left where she unintentionally said ‘I love you’? When will we hear from Tina again? Any way, I’m looking forward to your next post as always.
