You (Part the Sixty-Second) REVISED
“Yeah,” Alice whispered.
“Okay,” Dana said softly. “Go back to sleep, baby. It’ll be okay. I promise.”
“Yeah,” Alice repeated. Dana didn’t say anything in response, just held her closer and gently rubbed her back until Alice fell asleep again.
They woke up late the next morning, and there didn’t seem to be much to say. Both of them were anticipating the phone call so much that conversation about anything else seemed forced and trivial, so they just didn’t bother. It wasn’t an uncomfortable silence by any means, but the anxiousness they were both feeling was more than obvious in the apartment as Dana made them a quick breakfast and they sat on the couch watching the news and a couple morning talk shows.
It wasn’t much after ten when the phone rang. Dana gave Alice a shaky smile before she picked it up. For some reason, they both knew who it was, and it seemed easier for Dana to get up and get it even though Alice was physically closer. She wasn’t on for long, and her expression was unreadable as she listened to the person on the other end.
For some reason, the only thing Alice was able to focus on was the weight of the moment. They’d both been dreading it since the test had been done, and it didn’t really make sense to her that the moment itself didn’t have more impact. Somehow, she’d been expecting it to be one of the heaviest moments of her life, and the fact that it was over so quickly and that it was really nothing more than a few simple words on Dana’s part was a little disconcerting.
She tried to shake it off as Dana hung up the phone and walked back to the couch, but her nervous smile gave her away. “It was just Dr. Shapiro’s receptionist, and she didn’t tell me anything,” she said gently, pulling Alice into a hug. “She wants me to come in this afternoon. I was thinking maybe we could call Shane and see if she wants to have lunch, and then go?”
“Okay,” Alice mumbled into Dana’s shoulder, but she didn’t make any move to leave the embrace.
“It’s okay, sweetie. It’s just an appointment,” Dana soothed, rubbing Alice’s back to try and calm her trembling.

YEY!! Dane is cancer free!!! lol whee~ whee~ I’m sorry, I ate too much sugar. Anyway, I agree with ACH21, I can totally see Alice fallin’ asleep after sex lol funny. I’m so relieved that Dana doesn’t have cancer again. I knew that you wouldn’t be so cruel with us readers but as I read Dana and Alice’s feelings, I couldn’t help but feel a bit worried. Nway, great job! PPS
It really is an emotional rollercoaster for the two of them! I hopethe next sirgery will be the last one for Dana for a while. Loved the part were Alice was going on and on about the tone of voice. I could totally see the two of them ‘bickering’.
First of all, ditto all my previous comments on the chapter. Excellent job! Now… FWIW: I knew it wasn’t bad news (that the cancer hadn’t returned). That didn’t stop me from wanting to know what the surgery was he was referring to. I’m noisy that way. Plus, your writing is excellent and you have me even more invested in these characters than I already was. Thank you for not keeping us in suspense too long. I’m glad Dana made a decision on reconstruction. I think making that choice — no matter which way she decided — is a step towards moving on with the rest of her life. And this cracked me up for some reason: “And to be honest, she usually falls asleep after sex anyway. I’ll have at least a few hours.” — Hee! Go put your woman to sleep, Dane! Thanks, MT!!
Yeah. I could tell it wasn’t bad i was just wondering what it was. The story is amazing. Like i said before it made the ride alot easier on me the other day to have a good read. Thanks alot MT keep up the amazingness
