Dana’s head was pounding by the time the nurse came in with the medicine. Alice pulled the curtains closed and curled up in the chair she’d slept in, taking Dana’s hand in hers.
“I called your parents last night,” she said, expecting Dana to be annoyed with her.
“When?”
“I don’t know, around 8:30 I guess. They’re coming this morning.”
“Okay.” Dana took a deep breath and gingerly opened her eyes.
“Really. Okay?”
“Yeah, I’d rather get it over with and be upfront than deal with them if they thought we were keeping secrets.”
“We kind of are, Dane.”
“Check my bag.” Alice went to the closet and found the manila folder.
“Are you sure?”
“This is not the way I wanted to tell them, but if I know my mother, she’s not going to leave me any choice,” Dana answered thoughtfully.
The phone rang, startling them both. Alice pounced on it before it could ring a second time and turned the ringer setting to low. Tina was on the other end and Dana actually laughed when Alice said the call was for her.
“How is she?”
“Better. About the same as when I first called Shane.” Alice didn’t want to alarm Dana with any of the details of what happened when her fever spiked, nor alert her to the flurry of calls she’d traded with Helena, Shane and Tina.
“I know you didn’t want to think about this last night, but do you want me to call Bette?” Tina’s voice betrayed her. Alice knew she didn’t want to make the call.
“I’m not sure yet, but I’ll let you know.”
“Tell her not to call Bette,” Dana said.
“You heard Ms. Smarty-pants. She said no.” Alice rolled her eyes and handed the phone to Dana, who spoke with Tina for a minute and hung-up. The medicine was kicking in and she was asleep in minutes.
Helena walked in at the stroke of 10, carrying coffee, freshly squeezed juice and warm croissants for Alice and the staff.
“How is she feeling?” she whispered. Alice stepped into the hall and filled Helena in on Dana’s condition, grateful for the friendship they’d formed since the day more than eight months ago when Helena found her in pieces outside of The Planet.

Uh, you’re still a happy Danish fan, right? Just kidding, although this chapter was just a little, well a lot sadder than last time, but I’m still hangin on really hard to that faith:) Please let the decision that Alice has to make turn out for the better rather than worse. Anyways, this is great so pleeease post soon!
oh my god! You made me cry! Absolutely heartbreaking. Loved the update, and I’m looking forward to more. Dana needs to pull trough. No more Dana dying. It got me way too depressed the first time it happened. I need some happen Danish in the end. Great writing. Despite the crying, I really did enjoy it. I can’t wait to see what is going to happen.
Dude……..don’t you dare even think about it! This is so awesome and so freaking horrible at the same time! I’m serious! I am pissed! She’s gotta get better. You’re doing a great job or I wouldn’t be so angry! LOL Keep it up and keep Dana alive!!!
wow! poor dana! poor alice! what a huge decision.
oh man, this is truly a heartbreaking piece. I hope you give us a happy solution soon. Great update!
I agree with Adelefiz the coma will only help her get better. I have more faith in you Sammy than I do in IC. The story is great though, real emotions coming across big time! Hope you keep it up and looking forward to the next chapter.
Woh.. this is heart wrenching stuff!! very emotional and real and my stomach is in knots again. Dana is in a coma, but she can fight it with the help of Alice, friends and family. Glad Sharon has seen the true Danish love and eased up. Keep goin and post soon, Thanks.
omg. this is so fucking sad. its like watching an even sadder version of the show. when alice decides everything. man..please post soon
Ok, just to let you know, I’m crying my little heart out right now. Absolutely BRILLIANT chapter! I feel like I’m tossed right back into season three (a much better written season three), and I’m hoping with everything in me that you make this a happy ending. God, you’re amazing! Please post again soon!
Wow…this really is excellent. So well written – humourous and heartwrenching in the same chapter. Keep going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this story, you can feel the love they have for each other in every gesture they make. I like the way you have intertwined your story with the one on the show. Magnificient writing. If you keep it up like this, I will run out of all the superlatives there are.
