“I want to be in shape to do the next round of chemo as soon as possible, so you can see why I need you to be in top form.”
“Geez, you’re back in training.”
“Yeah and so are you.” She pulled Alice into a kiss. “No arguments, okay?”
“Okay.” She couldn’t deny Dana anything and Dana knew it.
When Sharon and Irwin arrived, Alice went with Helena reluctantly, but she went. That afternoon, Jenny and her girlfriend got Bette’s key so they could pick up the mail, change the sheets and air the place out. Jenny even picked up some flowers and put them on the bed stand. When they got there, Lara was in the kitchen and Kit, Bette and the baby were keeping her company. Tina and Angus had just finished setting the table. Shane, Carmen, Jenny and Moira were hanging out in the living room. Alice wasn’t prepared for this and nearly asked them all to leave, but couldn’t resist teasing Shane.
“The HEALTH department?” Alice chided her.
“Hey, it worked didn’t it?” shrugged Shane as the room broke out in laughter.
“Here’s the plan, darling,” Helena said. “A quick dinner with us, then a bath and bed. I’ll deliver you back to Dana’s side by ten tomorrow morning.” Alice surrendered.
True to Helena’s word dinner was done and cleaned up in an hour. Everyone but Helena and Bette left ten minutes later. An hour after that, Alice crawled into bed, freshly bathed and wearing Dana’s sweats.
She woke up at midnight and knew she wouldn’t get back to sleep. Dressing quickly, Alice wasn’t surprised to find Helena sleeping on the sofa. She left a note in place of her car keys and headed back to hospital. The duty nurse cleared her throat and looked the other way as she padded into Dana’s room to find her awake.
“I’ve been waiting for you.” Dana patted the bed and made room.
As Alice climbed into Dana’s arms, she felt herself losing control. Her emotions would not be denied this time. Dana met her eyes as she burst into tears.
“I was so scared,” Alice said in a strangled, tiny voice. She collapsed into Dana as she wept uncontrollably, releasing weeks of bottled-up fear, helplessness and anger.
“I know, baby,” Dana comforted her until she was cried out. “You’ve been so brave.” Dana stroked her hair and kissed her tear-stained face. “So brave.”
Alice gently brushed her fingers across Dana’s lips and settled into the crook of her arm.
“I love you Dana Fairbanks,” she sighed.
“I love you Alice Piezecki.”
Wrapped in each other’s arms, they slept as one.

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!

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! :-)
