    Author Notes:

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

    They sat for a few minutes before Tina announced that she had to go to pick up Angel. Alice walked her out. After hugging Tina, she made her point.

    “I am so sorry for you,” she said, “and I get what you two were trying to do, but what in God’s name were you thinking?” Tina’s face registered total surprise.

    “We thought…”

    “I know what you thought, but did it not occur to you that you should tell me first so that I could help you figure out the best way to break it to Dane? She’s barely on her feet and has chemo in five days.”

    “Christ Al, I’m sorry we couldn’t fit the end of our relationship into a nice little package for you,” Tina snapped.

    “That’s not what I meant and you know it,” Alice replied. “You thought you were being sensitive to her, I really do get that, but the fact is that, unlike the rest of us, she had no idea that this was coming.”

    Tina knew Alice was right and it killed her. Alice felt her regret and it was enough. She pulled Tina into another hug and told her again how sorry she was that it had come to this. When she walked back into the living room, Dana and Bette were crying on each other’s shoulders. She moved to them and took them both into a bear hug, holding them tightly until they composed themselves.

    The following Tuesday Dana received her next dose of chemotherapy. It was every bit as rough as advertised. The Compazine injections Alice gave Dana brought the nausea to almost tolerable limits, but Dana spent 14 hours parked on the bathroom floor. The next day she developed some sore spots in her mouth and, of course, the toxic chemicals in her system made everything taste like metal and smell worse.

    The next two scans revealed that the mass had shrunk to almost nothing, so Dana insisted on doing the fourth round at earliest possible opportunity, in spite of Dr. Bowman’s warnings that doing it so soon would intensify the side-effects. Diane slipped her cell phone number to Alice when she poked her head in to the chemo room on her break.

    “Don’t be shy, Alice,” she said in a serious tone. “It’s going to be bad and if I can help, I will.”

    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!
