“And how are you?”
“I’ll be fine when Dana’s better.” Al said wearily. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Darling, what are you wearing?” Alice looked down to see she was wearing flip-flops, tattered red sweats and a dirty tee shirt. It was the first time she thought about herself since yesterday morning.
“I just grabbed the first things I saw,” she said with a pained expression. “Dana’s parents are coming…they can’t see my looking like this. They already don’t like me. What am I going to do?”
“Does it really matter?”
“Trust me, Helena. These people invented the concept of judging a book by its cover.”
Helena swung into problem solving mode. Two managers from nearby boutiques showed up in 20 minutes, each carrying a couple of complete outfits for Alice. They were perfect for her eclectic style and still fashionable. Alice finished changing moments before the Fairbanks arrived. Dana was still sleeping so they sat with her for a couple of hours after Alice updated them on her condition. Howie spent most of that time with Alice, Helena, Shane, Carmen and a newly returned Jenny in the waiting room. Kit and Lara came in around one and brought both lunch and dinner with them. At length, Sharon and Irwin emerged, having decided to return tomorrow so that they could speak with Dr. Bowman. Alice immediately went back into Dana’s room. They awkwardly turned down an offer to join Dana’s friends for lunch and left.
Alice found Dana awake, with tears in her eyes.
“I told them about the power of attorney,” she said.
When the Fairbanks arrived the next morning, Alice stayed with Dana. She knew that they’d spent the night trying to figure out a way to get Dana to change her mind. It started thirty seconds after they arrived when Sharon invited Alice to leave so they could speak privately.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Fairbanks, but Dana has asked me to stay, no matter what,” Alice said politely.
“Dana,” Irwin said. “You know that your mother and I love you and only want what’s best for you, don’t you?”
“Yes. I love you too and I’m asking you to accept this.” Dana was tired and her throat was dry. Her temperature had begun to creep up early in the morning. Alice fed her some ice chips.

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.
