“Alice? Al?” The touch of Dana’s hand against her arm brought Alice back to reality. “Al are you alright?”
“Yeah I’m fine Hun,” she replied, smiling comfortingly at Dana. “I was just off on one of my weird day-dream tangents.”
“Alice we can’t thank you nearly enough for finding us and telling us about Howie.” Sharon Fairbanks’ voice was surprisingly full of sincerity, something which Alice hadn’t expected after their first meeting where she had felt close to invisible. “I’m sorry we were so cold then but I think it was just the shock of knowing what had happened.”
Alice gave Sharon a reassuring smile before gently holding her hand.
“Completely understandable,” she stated. “And there were no second thoughts about finding you, so don’t worry about that.”
After a brief talk to Sharon and Irwin, Alice realised that her presence there was probably not needed. The Fairbanks‘ hadn’t had time to overcome Howie’s condition in private, and even though she knew she wouldn’t be asked to leave, it was obvious that they needed a little family time. She quickly tugged Dana’s shirt while Sharon and Irwin were talking to a doctor to get her attention.
“Alice? What?” She could tell Dana hadn’t exactly been thrilled by Alice‘s attention seeking technique.
“Um I’m, I’m going to go,” Alice said slowly, trying to find the right level of happiness and seriousness unsuccessfully.
“What?” Dana’s voice was alarmingly high in surprise. Why did Alice want to leave? “Why? I-Is it my parents? Because I can tell them to be nicer if-”
“No it’s not your parents you doof,” Alice replied with a small laugh. She grabbed hold of Dana’s shoulders before speaking again. “I just think you need some time with just your family. You know what they say, three’s company and four’s a crowd.”
“Actually it’s tw-”
“I know that,” Alice interrupted, leaning her forehead against Dana’s. “Look all I’m saying is I want to give you a little space. I don’t want to seem like I’m just hovering around.”
“I like you hovering around me,” Dana replied quietly as she absentmindedly traced a pattern on the material covering Alice‘s stomach. “I like having you around me.”
“I like being around you,” Alice assured her, her heart fluttering a little at Dana’s words. She pulled the brunette into a warm hug, slowly rocking from side to side, feeling Dana’s head snuggle quickly into the crook of her neck. “But you know that you should have some time with your family. Don’t worry. I’ll be back in a few hours I just need to grab something for Howie. I can get you some food on the way back.”

I’ll ignore your evil taunt that you might just keep them apart a little longer – this time. This was so very needed, especially after hearing Erin’s podcast. I loved Alice’s confession and Dana’s response. They are meant to be together. You Gabby is also a fun character. Thanks so much!
