“I love you,” Dana managed to choke out. “That song is how I feel about you.”
“Sorry, Charley. Get your own song,” Alice teased her. “E.C. is all mine, okay?”
Dana nodded and smiled.
“I’m sorry, but it was just so beautiful,” she said.
“Listen, I need a couple of minutes with Helena. Is it okay if Tina stays with you?” Dana nodded again and Tina slipped into Alice’s chair. Helena and Alice headed for the waiting room.
“When was the last time she was home?” Dana asked as soon as they were out of earshot. She accepted the tissue Tina offered.
“I don’t think she’s left the hospital since you were admitted,” Tina said. “We’ve made sure she had everything she needed.”
“So she has slept in that chair every night?”
“She wouldn’t leave and it was easier to take care of her than to argue with her.”
“T, I need a favor…”
When Helena and Alice returned, they found Tina and Dana laughing their asses off.
“I told her about Shane threatening the receptionist at Bette’s retreat,” Tina said, prompting Helena to join in another round of giggles. Alice had no idea what they were talking about.
“I’ll let Dana tell you,” Tina said as she and Helena prepared to leave. “We’ll see you tonight.”
“What was the big pow-wow with Helena about?”
“The Peabody Foundation is going to make a donation to breast cancer research in your name. I asked her to wait until you’re feeling stronger so that you help them decide who they should fund.”
“Al, have you really been here for two weeks straight?”
“Tina has a big mouth.”
“I did ask her, but I already knew the answer,” Dana said. “This stops tonight. Helena is going to take you home so you can take a bath and sleep in our bed.”
Alice couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
“You’re kicking me out?”
“Only to sleep. I need you rested if I’m gonna get out of here next week,” grinned Dana. “The tumor is still shrinking and I can almost walk the length of the hallway, so Dr. Bowman said she thinks I might be ready to leave as early as Monday.”
“That may be the best news I’ve ever heard,” Alice was positively giddy.

Ok, you did…you’ve got me all teary-eyed at the end. :) But I loved the update. Although the situation they’re in is so sad, I really do enjoy reading it. And yes, there is always room for improvement…even when things are perfect. ;) And I’m with you, S4 should be a do-over of S3 (but I don’t believe in the dream-theory)! But it won’t happen. Have you seen how many newactresses they contracted for S4?! I think S4 will be totally different from S3 (as was S3 from S2).
Second to last chapter, huh? Well, I guess I can’t complain since this story was more than amzing, but still it’s sad that it’s almost over. Planning on another story, by chance? Wishful thinking, I know. Anyways, yay for Alice making the right choice and Dana pulling through, hopefully the rest of the recovery will go smoothly. So, please post soon!

It’s amazing to me that you are updating so soon. I’m not complaining ;-)) This story is so intense and I really love it. I love how Dana was expecting Alice to come back to her. Their connection is so strong. Hope you can drag this story out a little longer. Than again a new story would also be great. Just keep writing Danish and make my day a little happier! Thanks!
Awsome chapter, glad to see Dana comming through, thanks for the post!!
another great chapter! you are handling all this very well, too well… it’s all too real… but in a good way. looking forward to the remaining chapters and keeping my fingers crossed for a happy ending.
Sigh. I am totally content with this chapter and story. Totally sucks that it’s almost over, but hey, there’s always other Danish tales to tell, right? Everything in this chapter, and the rest, have been so dead on, it amazes me! Great job! :-)
