    Author Notes:

    The Fairbanks choose acceptance, Dana chooses to just say yes, and Bette and Tina choose to separate.

    During her “off week,” Dana maintained her “training” schedule but added a new goal. She had to find the perfect song for Alice. She started with the classics, but Al shut that down almost before it started.

    “Baby, I like Etta James and Sinatra as much as anyone else, but uh-uh,” she said as she breezed into the house after meeting with her editor for the first time in two months. “You won’t find it like this anyway. It’s not something you can research.”

    “I’ll bet I do.”

    “Betcha won’t.” Alice leaned in and kissed her. “But it means the world to me that you want to.” A week earlier, Dana would have burst into tears. Now, however, her eyes only misted over, a sure sign of progress.

    “Tina called. She and Bette are going to stop by around four thirty,” she said. “I told them I’m not letting them through the door without new pictures of Angelica.”

    Bette and Tina pulled up to the front of the condo at four thirty on the dot. In separate cars. From the time they walked through the door, an awkward tension hung in the air. They were withdrawn and uncomfortable with each other, even as they shared the photos of Angel.

    “Alright guys, you’re being weird,” declared Alice. “What’s going on?” Tina and Bette sat opposite each other and tried to decide where to begin.

    “We wanted to tell you this together,” Bette started.

    “Because we thought that you shouldn’t hear it from anyone else,” Tina added.

    “Now you’re freaking me out,” Dana said. “Is Angel okay?”

    “Yes,” Bette said quickly. She took a deep breath and Tina looked away, tears filling her eyes.

    “Tina and I are separating,” Bette said in a quivering voice. Alice reached for Dana’s hand. Nobody said anything.

    “I thought you were working it out,” Dana finally broke the silence.

    “We tried,” Tina said sadly, “but we just can’t.”

    Alice watched as Bette glared at Tina while she spoke. There was much more to this story, but now wasn’t the time.

    “But separating is a huge step,” Dana cried. “What about the baby?” Alice put her arm around Dana’s shoulders and hugged her.

    “Angel will live with me and Bette will see her as often as she can,” Tina answered. “We’re going to tell everyone at brunch tomorrow.”

    2. Awesome! I’m so freaking happy right now. Dana is cancer free…the way to be! You are a very talented writer, and I look forward to reading anything new that you have in mind. I can’t wait for more. I love it. Danish rocks!

    4. I’m so friggin glad that Dana beat the cancer:) She always was a fighter. It kinda sucked when Bette and Tina broke the news about their seperation so soon while Dana was still recovering. Also glad that everybody seems to be sticking together to help Dana. Can’t wait for the next!

    6. “Dana Fairbanks beat cancer!” Hell the fuck yeah! Ha ha. This was an awesome chapter! Fuck TLW! Who needs the real show when you have writers like you who actually give us hope and depth to the characters we’ve fallen in love with!

    7. Woohoo…to be told that your free of cancer [or any illness] must be the most amazing and exhilerating feeling ever!! I felt like having a little dance myself LOL. I love the way that all the gang are there for Dana, pulling her thru with all their love and care and doing whatever it takes to help her thru.. including Shane sharing the joint at one of her even darker moments, which was spot on!! Well Dana can only get stronger now and that means [in my soppy Danish head] they can just go from strength to strength, which makes me one happy bunny! yay! Once again great chapter. Thanks.

    10. I love this story so much! I read it at work today which I shouldn’t have, but whem I saw that you posted I couldn’t resist! So now I read it twice and all I can say is wow! Looking forward to the final chapter of this beautiful story and I’m curious to what the song will be. But I’m with Bojangles on this one, no Celine Dion song….ahhhh! great stuff my friend!
