Back To You

16

While FP was going to look for Gladys, Alice dressed, changed, and fed Charles some baby food. But she felt like she had to nurse him too so she picked him up from his high chair, cleaned up his face and carried him to the couch to feed him.

"Charles, do you think I should believe your daddy?" She questioned the 6 month old, as he was hitting his little fist on her chest.

He finished eating and she carried him to their room and put him in the play pen to play with his toys while she went to take a shower and get ready for the day. She was so lucky that Charles was a good happy baby so she could get things done when she needed to.

She got out of the shower and got dressed in a pair of leggings, a tank top and threw on fp's thick socks that were too big, and his flannel, the trailers got sort of cold during the cooler months. As much as she was sad about this she really loves FP and wants to believe him.

She threw her hair up in a messy bun and heard Charles fussing so she went to pick him up. Just then she heard someone knocking on the door so she went to answer it.

"Dr Patel, come in I'm just waiting for FP and the girl to come back. He should be here soon. I'll give him a call."

"No worries, just need to be back at work in an hour. Is that little Charlie? He's gotten so big!"

"It is, he's eating a lot lately. Lots of cluster feeding."

"That's completely normal."

She nodded and pulled her phone out of her pocket, was about to dial FP but heard a car pull in the lot.

"Never mind, I think he's here, he's looking sleepy so I'm going to go lay him down in his room and I'll be back."

She walked into his room and got really emotional, she really was nervous about the results of this. She quit her job because FP asked her to, she spent most of her savings on their stuff, since she insisted. She laid him down and kissed his forehead and grabbed the monitor and closed the door.

"FP. Where is she?" She asked him.

"Coming in, Doc, sup."

"Hello FP."

"Forsythe! He delivered your son! Be nice."

"Sorry. Nice to meet you, thank you for delivering my boy."

"Just doing my job, he's beautiful."

"Thank you."

Just then Gladys came in carrying the baby.

"Alice Smith, so you're the reason he doesn't believe me?"

"I just want this dealt with so I know what do to after, stay here or go back to Fred's."

"I really do need to go back to work so let's get this test done, it's just a swab test, I'm just going to get some spit from FP and the baby and I can actually call you in the next 6 hours with the results, pretty simple."

He pulled out the swab and took a sample from FP and the baby.

"Alright done, I'm going to run the rest when I get back from the office and I'll call you tonight Alice."

"Thank you so much Doctor."

"No worries."

He left and Gladys was just standing there with the baby.

"You can leave now Gladys. Give me your number I'll call you later."

"No, tell the doctor to call me. I want to hear the truth come from him. This baby doesn't deserve you to treat her like shit FP."

"That baby isn't mine, take her to her father."

"Whatever, you'll hear the truth tonight."

She left and Alice went to sit on the couch and turned on the tv.

"Not even going to talk to me?" He asked.

"I have nothing to say until the results come back. If you aren't the father, I am sorry for doubting you but you can't blame me for stressing about it."

"I don't, where's Charles?"

"Napping in his room, I'm leaving with him when he gets up. I'll be back at 5 waiting for the doctors call so we can listen together."

He nodded and went to their bedroom to lay down. There was no point to reason with her right now.
