Back To You

32

FP had lots of money he had saved from the Army, and he still got money monthly from them as well for the work he did, he got more than the average person would because they let him go home early and knew he thought he had a solid income for the year, and he went home to nothing.

Charles was 8 and a half months old, and FP was doing very well at his job, him and Fred came across a home that was for sale, and was really good priced even though it had some work that needed to be done.

He decided to go with Fred to look at it and put in an offer, since he wanted to buy Alice and Charles a real home. He figured he could sell the trailer too to get some extra money.

He left the house after breakfast, after telling Alice he had to go into the office for an hour even thought it was his day off, since there was an emergency.

"I'll be back in an hour babe, then we can hang out."

She nodded. "Alright Jonesy see you later."

"Bye babe."

He hopped in his truck and drove over to pick up Fred, then would go to the house from there since it was on the Northside.

"Fred, hey."

"Hey FP, so she has no idea you're doing this?"

"None. I want to keep it that way, there isn't too much to fix up from what I saw so I'm hoping by Charles first birthday the house will be ready."

Fred nodded. "It should be, let's go check it out see if you want it and if you do you can put an offer on it, and if you get it then we can start working on it right away, since we're not too busy with work right now."

"Sounds great, I think this is going to be our forever home, there's 4 bedrooms, so it's perfect for us and another baby or two." He told Fred.

"You guys want more kids?"

FP nodded. "Yeah, it'll be different this time because I'll be here for the pregnancy and birth, it will be a different experience."

"You guys trying now for a baby?"

"No not yet, Alice wanted a home first so I'm hoping we can start trying soon. She said after Charles turns 1."

"So soon then."

"Soon." He nodded in agreement.

"Well we're here, let's go see what needs to be done."

They did the walk through and surprisingly not much needed to be done, the backyard needed to be fixed up, and the bedrooms just needed to be painted and FP wanted to remove the carpet from the stairs and the bedrooms but other than that not much needed to be done.

"Looks like there isn't much to do, so we could do it and be done by the time Charles turns 1, and maybe have his party here." FP said to Fred.

"We could get it done in a month for sure. How are we going to paint without Alice knowing about the house? Don't you want her to pick the paint and let her decorate?"

"Yeah if I get the place then I'm going to tell her I bought her and Charles a home, and then she can decide what she wants, but she's probably expecting me for dinner so I should get back."

FP dropped Fred off at his house and then headed back to the trailer.

"Hi guys!" FP exclaimed as he walked in the door.

"Dada!!"

"Hi baby. Hi Allie."

"Hi Jonesy, everything good at work?" She asked.

He nodded. "Everything good, someone just purchased this beautiful house on the Northside and wanted some renovations done so we went to see the house."

She nodded. "Well dinner is ready so let's eat and then get Charles ready for bed and then we can hang out with him a little, I need to talk to you about something after."

"Something bad?" He asked.

"No honey not bad. Good."

"Alright good."

They ate dinner together and Alice was cleaning while FP gave Charles a bath and then they all met in the living room, FP sitting with Charles on the floor playing with some toys, she was content just sitting and watching them.

She saw Charles was rubbing his eyes and getting fussy so her and FP took him to bed.

He took Charles in his room and waited for Alice to bring his bottle.

"Here you can feed him FP, I'll go get ready for bed and meet you in our room."

She knelt down to give Charles a kiss.

"Night night baby, see you in the morning."

She walked out of the room and went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went into their room to change into one of FP's t shirts and slipped into bed.

Shortly after FP came in and stripped down to his boxers and climbed into bed as well.

"He go down alright?"

He nodded. "Yeah like always." He smiled.

"Good I'm glad, we have the best little boy ever, I feel so blessed." She said as she curled into his side laying her head on his chest.

"So what was it that you wanted to talk to me about babe?" He questioned.

"Well Charles is almost 9 months, and I know you wanted to start trying for a baby once he was one, so I stopped taking the pill this morning, I just wanted you to know, because for the next 3 months we need to be careful." She said as she was drawing lazy circles on his abdomen.

He groaned. "Do you really need to be off it that long?" He asked.

"Yes my body needs to get the pill out of its system."

"Fine but I'm not using condoms."

"You have no self control." She laughed.

"I just don't like them."

"Your turn to worry about being safe babe."

"I know, but I'm not using them, I'll pull out." He muttered.

"Whatever big guy. I love you."

"I love you babe, you up for some baby making practice?" He smirked and wiggled his eyebrows.

"Always Jones, always."

*so this will be wrapped up in the next 5 or so chapters, I took a pause because I didn't know where I wanted to go with the story but I know now so I should be updating more.*
