Lullaby
"We should start baby-proofing right now if we’re going to be ready in time." She started to get up, but Alice pulled her back.
"We’re going to stay at Bette and Tina’s…"
"Yeah, I know, but what if we need to bring the baby here?" Dana cut her off. "I mean, you never know. Three days is a long time…"
Alice stopped Dana’s rambling with a kiss.
"…we might need to come by an get something…" Alice kissed her again.
"Angelica’s eight months old." Alice said with another kiss. "She can barely crawl." And another. "We’ll be fine."
Bette was putting the finishing touches on packing while Tina took them through Angelica’s schedule.
"Everything is broken out here. If you have any questions and you don’t find it, just call Bette or me. All of our numbers are on the contact sheet. I made copies for each of you," she said as she slid a file folder across the table to each of them. "She has a standing play date on Thursday, but you can call Ben or Beth if something comes up. It’s all in your folder."
Dana kept her best poker face and nodded. She was overwhelmed already and couldn’t speak.
"I’m sure it’ll be fine," Alice piped up.
"So, her food is all here, " Tina said, opening the cupboard stocked with the finest in organic baby cuisine. "Her favorites are on your list for snacks, but her meals are on the menus. We’re still supplementing her nap and nighttime bottles with breast milk." Tina opened the fridge and freezer.
Alice gently squeezed Dana’s hand under the table as she saw her façade starting to crack.
"It’s all explained…"
"In our folders, with our lists, schedules, call sheets and emergency contact numbers," Alice finished.
"Yeah," Tina said sheepishly. "I know I went a little overboard, but I figured it’d be better that you have more than you could possibly need. Oh, and the diaper service comes on Friday mornings."
Dana started to ask a question as Bette breezed into the room, Angelica on her hip.
"Okay, we’re ready," she said as she lifted the baby to eye level. "You be good for Alice and Dana, okay Angel? Mama T and I will be back before you know it." She kissed Angelica and handed her to Tina, who hugged her closely.

What a lovely story! Beautiful writing!
Thanks for giving us a good step back from all the angst that’s been going on lately, because as important as angst is a happy change of pace is even better:) I love your stories and I’m really hoping that another brilliant idea will pop into your head so that you can write about it!
Oh my God. I absolutely LOVED it! It had just the right mix of humor and emotion and hope that every Danish fic needs. Beautifully written. I do have to say that my favorite part was when Shane called them the “fucking Stepford dykes”. I laughed so hard, my stomach hurts now! I hope you continue to write, because I love all of your stuff!
too cute, dana and the baby watching tennis. : )
Great stuff SammysGirl…Hope you continue writing especially Danish stories, you write them so well.
hey, i loved this. It was just pure gold for all danish fans. :) hope to see more of you.
Aww.. this was just too cute. This was the Danish that could have been, so thanks for giving us this insight. I liked the role reversal.. Alice being all confident at first, and Dana worried sick ended up the opposite way round lol. You could so see this happening with Danish and they worked as a team in the end.. so so sweet! Keep up with the writing. Thanks.
Aww, I fell in love with Danish all over again. :P Dana and baby A, so damn cute! :D I liked the role reversal thing too. Looking forward to your next story. :)
Loved this story it was so sweet and funny. You write danish so well and i hope you continue too.
