As Dana sank to the floor in the parking garage, Alice reacted without thinking, but with complete clarity. She moved behind Dana and locked her arms underneath Dana’s, keeping her from hitting the ground and supporting her until the wave of excruciating pain passed.
“It’s going to be okay baby,” she said in soothing tones. “I’ve got you.”
“I’m scared Al,” Dana’s voice was tight. “Something’s really wrong.”
Alice scanned the area frantically, praying that someone was there. Not another soul was in sight. She briefly considered calling for help, but the pain seemed to be easing and she didn’t want to panic Dana. She rejected the idea of an ambulance, reasoning that she could get Dana to St. John’s just as quickly, probably faster. In less than a minute she grabbed Dana’s keys and bundled her in the passenger seat. She hit the speed dial for Dr. Wilson the instant they cleared the entrance to the garage, taking Dane’s hand in hers and rubbing her palm with her thumb while she described what was happening in the gentlest way possible.
Lara was temped not to answer when she saw Lindsay on the caller ID. On some level she knew why her sister was calling from the ring itself.
“Hello Lindsay.” Lara closed her eyes and waited.
“Aunt Charlotte…” Lindsay’s voice broke as she struggled to deliver the news. Lara genuinely felt for her.
“When?” Her entire demeanor softened.
“About ten minutes ago,” Lindsay sniffled. “She said she had a headache and said she needed to rest. I…” Lindsay swallowed hard. “I went to get her some aspirin and when I got back she was gone.”
Thanks to a call from Dr. Wilson’s office, a team met Dana and Alice at the entrance to emergency. They extracted Dana from the car and wheeled her to a treatment area with the precision of a well rehearsed ballet. Al knew enough to keep from being separated from her wife, but stood back while Dana and the baby were hooked up to all manner of monitors at the same time a doctor began examining her.
“Beth can join us if you’d like,” Carmen said as she and Shane pulled into parking lot of the Spanish Kitchen on La Cienega. It was the first time either of them had spoken since Shane picked her up at the Hyatt on Sunset. “The last thing I wanted was for this to get weird.”

I feel bad for Lara, happy for Shane and Beth, confusion as always for Jenny but hey it’s all part of her charm – I was rewatching series 5 actually and I love her all over again, she’s annoying enough to be hilarious! Too much info? I think so… I’m done THANK YOU
Sorry for the delay in comment…thank you for writing as always…I really hope Dana and the baby are going to be okay…I wish I too could write my own life sometimes, but if we knew all the endings what would be the point of waking up every morning…Keep on writing, as you know this is my favorite fan fiction…

aaawww what u left me there??? sorry I left u a tall order in my previous comment. I’m okay altho the arthritis progresses into my hands. Really like your story. Can u plz make Dana not die? And another TiBette baby sounds wonderful. Look after Lara, she’s such a honey; as for the rest they seem okay for now. Look 4ward to next post.
Poor Dana! And Alice too. How heartwrenching that must be. I just hope the difficult decision leads to a healthy mother and baby. Poor Lara, too, but at least she has Helena with her. I’m not sure I quite understand what’s going on with Jenny and Carmen, but I like that Shane finally seems to have some happiness. This is excellent as usual!
I was having a pretty rough Monday morning, but, it certainly got better when I saw you posted. Even through the chapter had several sad parts, it was still excellent. Poor Lara and Helena. I hope they can find some way to make it through. Bette and Tina seem to be doing well. I am glad they decided to answer the phone. Shane and Beth seem to be surprisingly well matched. That is another couple I hope can make it. Shane seems to be able to be herself and finally maturing. Jenny and Carmen? Meh. I am glad that Dana made it safely to the hospital. Alice is doing a great job in supporting her partner. I can’t imagine the stress the two might be feeling as they wait for the results. I am very concerned about the “difficult decisions” that lie ahead. Thanks so much, SG!! Can’t wait for the next chapter.
i’ve read this a dozen times but i kept forgetting to comment….omg im scared this is such a happy time for them after everything..pls let baby and dana be okay! :S
