"Why didn’t you get me up? I would have tried to help." Dana wrapped her arms around Alice’s waist and stepped in to hug her from behind, resting her chin on Alice’s shoulder.
"You looked so peaceful. I couldn’t bring myself to wake you." Alice leaned into Dana’s embrace. "Her nap didn’t even last an hour and I couldn’t keep her interested in anything longer than five minutes. I totally suck…"
"You can do this baby. Angel adores you," Dana reassured her.
"Not as much as I thought."
"Alice!" Shane’s voice was overly controlled.
"Uh-oh," Dana whispered into Al’s ear.
"Alice!!"
They walked in to find Angel giggling happily, she and her high chair completely coated in her dinner. She was smearing her hands back and forth on the tray. Shane was mortified.
"She turned her face and I got some on her cheek and put the spoon down to go get a towel and when I got back, it was all over the place." Shane had to pause for a breath.
"Shane, she’s two for two," Dana said. "Apparently it’s normal for her to eat half and wear half."
Angelica looked up from her artistic masterpiece at the sound of Dana’s voice. Glancing from Dana to Shane and back to Dana, she burst into tears. Dana’s shoulders dropped as she sighed, causing Alice to rub her back softly before mobilizing.
"Alright, you guys take the kitchen and I’ll take the kid," she said, whisking the baby out of the high chair and out of the room. They could hear her crying non-stop as they scraped away the goo from the chair, tray and floor.
"It’s me, " Dana announced, breaking their silence. "Kids really don’t like me. I did warn her." The phone rang and Shane jumped to get it.
Tina and Bette were calling from their hotel in New York. Shane covered as best she could, but handed the phone to Dana, went outside and lit a cigarette in short order. As Dana filled them in on the day, she made sure to soften the difficulties and was in the middle of assuring them that all was fine when Alice and a freshly changed and newly cleaned Angel returned, the baby’s cries louder than before. Dana panicked and shoved the phone into Alice’s free hand, mouthing Tina’s name.

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.
