Back To You

"It's beautiful FP." She said holding Charles on her hip, looking at his room.

"You picked the colour babe."

"I know, but you picked out the furniture."

"So we did good."

"That we did, our room doesn't smell so we should be able to sleep in our room tonight, Charles can maybe sleep in our bed. He never has before but I think it'd be nice him cuddled between us."

"Sounds nice baby."

"Here take Charles, he needs to eat some baby food. I am going to finish up in here and then we can make some dinner for us once we lay him down."

He took Charles to play with him while Alice finished putting Charles things away. She was scared, she was so happy, she wanted this life, with her little family, Charles having his father, spending time with his father, he saw the bond that Charles and FP had and knew it was unbreakable. Her heart was so full, but she had a feeling something would happen to ruin that sooner than later.

She finished up Charles room pretty quickly, turned on the fan and opened the window so the smell could air out, walked into the kitchen and saw FP feeding Charles.

"Hi baby, you like your peas?" She cooed at him.

"He's a Jones babe, of course he likes to eat."

"He's a baby FP, that's why he eats so much."

"I beg to differ Al."

"Alright alright. I am going to start on our dinner, what are you up for?"

"Told you babe..."

She cut him off.

"You're a Jones you'll eat anything I know. Burgers?"

"Sounds great babe, now Charles my boy, you're all messy so why don't we go get you cleaned up and changed so when your Mama and I are done with dinner she can feed you and you can head to bed."

Charles babbled at him, and FP heard Alice sniffling behind him. He got up holding Charles.

"What's wrong babe?"

"Nothing, nothing."

"Allie, I know you better than you know yourself, what's the matter?"

"I just, love you guys so much and I don't know what I would do if I lost you."

"You have nothing to worry about babe, you guys are my everything, I don't have any other family. I have no idea where Senior is, not that I care, and not that he cares about me you know, but I really need to get this little boy washed up so I will be right back."

She just nodded at him, and started to make the burgers and vegetables.

Just as she was done FP came out with Charles.

"Here we have one bathed, clean, changed boy ready to play!"

"You are the cutest boy huh baby?" Alice cooed at him.

FP put him in the play pen with his toys so him and Alice could eat.

"This is delicious babe."

"It's just frozen burgers and some roasted vegetables babe." She said and smiled at him.

"Why don't you have a bun on your burger?" He asked.

"Just trying to loose the last bit of this baby weight, it's been hard." She said in return to his question.

"What? You look hot babe, you don't need to loose any weight, let me get you a bun."

"Thank you but I do, no I don't want a bun."

"Alice, you are beautiful okay?"

"Okay Jonesy, but I still want to be making healthier choices."

"Fine then I won't eat my bun either." He shrugged.

"FP..."

"Alice..."

They just stared at each other in silence for what felt like forever, until they both burst out laughing.

"I love you." She blurted out.

"I love you more."

They finished their food and FP offered to clean up while Alice took Charles to their room to breastfeed him and put him down for the night, FP cleaned the kitchen then took a shower, by the time Alice was done feeding Charles he was drifted off for the most part so she laid him down in the middle of her and FP's pillows and FP came into the room for his pyjamas.

"Go ahead and shower babe, i've got him."

She nodded and ran off to shower and get ready for bed quickly. Then she hopped in bed on the other side of Charles. Just then she heard a knock at the door.

"I'll get it Allie."

FP got up and slipped on a t-shirt and some pyjama pants and walked towards the door.

The person knocked again and he swore it better be important because if Charles woke up he would be pissed.

"He opened the door and he couldn't believe who and what he saw.

"Gladys?"

*Okay so I'm putting Gladys in here in a different context, I doubt very much she was actually a cheerleader for Riverdale High, I feel like she might even be older than FP and I feel like they met after high school, but here shes a Vixen and shes from the north side. I needed to add some drama and it's coming people.*
