We didn’t leave the hotel for the next three days, mostly because she was so fucking exhausted. It wasn’t bad, though. We just hung out and watched movies and took a break from all the shit. I carried her down to the pool one night, and she loved it. She could float, and it took all the pressure off her legs so it didn’t hurt her to move around. We stayed in the water until we started to prune.
We had a few great months, before she really started to let go. After we got home from our honeymoon, it didn’t seem like much had changed. Our friends were still there all the time, and it was good. Better than good, really. We started taking road trips, both as a couple and as a group, because she was sick of hanging out at home all the time. We went to Mexico and stayed on a beach for three days, all of us, and we took a group trip to Vegas. Dana didn’t gamble, and she wouldn’t let me do it either, but Jenny wound up winning close to a million dollars. She put half of it in Helena’s bag without saying a word.
It was…great. I wish I had another word to really describe it, but I don’t. It was just great. We had fun, and 99% of the time it never even crossed my mind that my wife was dying. I was just happy to be able to refer to her as my wife.
We never decided on a last name. We’d talked about it before the wedding, but hadn’t been able to come up with anything. I’d wanted to come up with something original, a brand new name for both of us, but Dana loved her family and wanted to keep her name. In the end, we agreed to hyphenate when we needed to, but in general we’d just keep our own names.
She’d spend a lot of time talking to all of us, and to me individually. We kept meeting at the Planet during the day and just talking the whole time. People would come and go on their way to work or to other stuff, but she talked to everybody. We all shared stories and hopes, things from our childhoods, and a thousand more things that I don’t even remember now. It didn’t matter; she wanted to know everything she could possibly learn about all of us.

Wow I had to choke back tears and swallow a lump in ym throat more than a few times. I never cry at fanfics but this one almost got me. Perfect MT just fucking perfect. xx Oh and get better soon hun :)
perfect, very sad.. but perfect. Thank you.
*blows nose and puts tissue away* I was dreading the end of this story. This story was amazingly beautiful but SO sad. I’m looking forward to an update of your ‘happy’ story “You” (especially to that certain something coming :P).
Wow, what a beautifully written piece, expertly catching the emotions inlcuding sadness, love and, yes, happiness of these two wonderful people. You are definitely a wonderful writer and I hope you are feeling much better and can continue with YOU very soon. Thank you
okay – i can barely see what i writing due to the tears that are in my eyes. that was really beautiful. definitely your best writing so far. please give us something happy now. that was devestating. great job.
This story should come with a warning label like ‘May Cause Dehydration’ – it was exquisitely written. I miss Dana.
amazing as per usual. feel better so you can get back to writing a happier version of this in “You”.
Perfect. The way it should have been to begin with.
Very sad, but better than the show by a lot, more settled and peaceful and loving
you had me in tears these two last chapters :'( great story!
*gul* This was breathtakingly beautiful. I choked up more then once. You made me cry. *sigh* It was very moving, so much better and so much more human then the stuff we got to see on tv. I liked it. But I’m glad to see the newest part of “you” soon.
I know you had to do it and you did it perfectly. You are such a gifted writer even when I am not thrilled with the subject. You helped fill the void IC left.
Simply beautiful!WOW…I have a lump in my throat and holding back tears!!!You are truly gifted!!!
That was just beautiful. I was crying at the end if only the show could have done such a great job.
Best fanfic ever. What more can I say. You are incredibly talented
thank you for this story. i can’t think of a more fitting ending to dana’s cancer story. you’re truly gifted and i sincerely hope you’ll continue to write danish fanfics.
I so inspired by the beauty in how you wrote this. It gripped my heart and stayed with me. I read it yesterday, cried my tears but still it’s with me. Thank you for sharing your talent. I am so touched.
Ok I hardly even comment fanfics but how could I not on this one? I am literally in tears. I never cry from stories or movies. If you think of the saddest movie ever, I guarantee I could watch it and not one tear would form. Yet, these last two chapters have kept me crying. This fic was absolutely amazing. You’re amazing! Blew IC out of the water! They should take lessons from you. Can’t wait for an update on “You”.
Picturing the scene: You’re reading a book, or watching a movie, and you just have to call it off because you’re so into it that you find it almost painful to keep on doing it. So you decide to just quit. You press the pause bottom. You put the book in the freezer. Well, this has happened to me twice: the first one was a movie by Isabel Coixet; the second one ,Valediction. A couple of months ago I quit reading it at some point of the second chapter. I knew it was just fiction, but it felt so real… I just couldn’t make it. (I know, I know… Too corny!) But yesterday I did. I read all of it, and well, you got me speechless (you know… my English skills are so limited!! :p) Today I’ve bound it!! I handmade a little book (I love arts & crafts!). But unlike Alice with Dana’s letters, I think I won’t be able to read it again… I promise I won’t put it in the freezer, though!
