(Authors note) in this one shot there are no murders or gangs and Gladys never left riverdale. The Jones relationship was also on the verge of a divorce, but not quite there yet.
My mother who we all call grandma smith came back to riverdale after I divorced my husband of 25 years. You see, she never really liked him even when we dated. After she found out I was engaged she moved. Of course when I got pregnant she came and saw the babies. Today she is back and staying in my house. The first couple of days she was very polite and not witty like she usually was, but I definitely spoke to soon when I thought she had just lost those traits. It started with little comments about my hair or makeup, but I grew up with it, so I was used to it and I'm not going to lie I am just like her. Betty had to go back to school, so me and my mom went to the grocery store for dinner. While at the grocery store we ran into an old friend of mine and his wife. To say the least about this old friend, we used to date and he was and still kinda is the love of my life. They were happily married with a son Betty's age. He is actually dating Betty. They had always been friends, but they just got really close one year. When we first ran into them my mother was very polite, but then again I spoke to soon. Right in the middle of our conversation she comes out with. "They were the cutest couple of Riverdale High, hell of all riverdale, they still would be to if well you know" grandma looks Gladys up and down. "Mother!" I said shooting her a look. Fp chuckled and Gladys got pissed, hit Fp then stormed off. I couldn't help but smirk as I saw her leave, so I put my head in my hands hiding the smirk. "Well fp I hope you and Jughead can come to dinner soon, I would love to meet him. Might want to leave the wife at home though." My mother said. "ok you had your fun mother. By fp and I'm sorry." I say as I push my mother the other direction.
Fp pov-
As Alice and her mom walked away I caught up to Gladys."I'm surprised you came after me" she shot me a dirty look. "Baby her moms crazy she's always been you know that." "You could have defended me at least" She kept walking. "I know your not going to like this idea, but she wants to meet Jughead and she invited us to dinner" "your right I hate the idea, but I am going I don't care what she says". "whatever you say"
DINNER-
"Betty they will be here soon get down here to introduce your grandma" I yell at Betty upstairs. "coming. Mom how did you introduce your first boyfriend to grandma" she says with a raised eyebrow walking into the kitchen. "Well um....". " I caught them making out" grandma laughs coming into the kitchen. "Mom really" I throw my hands into the air. "Well you were going to lie and I wanted her to know her mother wasn't mis perfect. Far from it actually" she smirks. "Mom can you keep your mouth shut for one minute please." "What? I wish you were still making out with him for these last 25 years instead of Hal" she rolls her eyes. "Mom please just try and play nice tonight ok" "fine just for Betty though and because I have to play nice your going to hear it afterward" "fine" I gave up on fighting and continued with dinner. "Wait why would Grama have to play nice?" Betty asked. I shot a look to my mother. * doorbell rings*. "I'll get it." Betty says going towards the door. "Alice Susanna smith she doesn't know about Fp does she." "No mom and I would like to keep it that way please"
"hi mrs.s, hello grandma Smith" Jughead says coming into the kitchen. "Hello Jug, fp, Gladys. Where is Jellybean?" I ask "oh she's not feeling well so she stayed home" fp answers. "Oh to bad". "Wow Jughead you look just like your father when he was your age" grandma says. "I've been told that before" Jughead smiles. "Well fp guess my advice went through one ear and out the other" she smirks. "Ok well take a seat dinner is ready." I say ushering everyone into the dining room. "Here I'll help you out." Fp says following me into the kitchen. "I'm surprised you came trying to piss Gladys off" I smirk to myself. "No just being a gentlemen." He smiles. "Listen I just want to apologize for my mother's mouth tonight. She said she would behave, but you know that woman can't keep her mouth shut if given the opportunity." "Ya no kidding. Why did she come into town all of the sudden?" I sighed "she has always hated Hal, so when I told her about the divorce she thought to come back and celebrate." "I knew I always liked her for some reason." We both laughed. "Shut up" I hit his chest. "And grab a dish".
We made our way into the dining room and placed the dishes down. "Looks great mrs.s" Jughead said getting a spoonful of food. "Thank you Jughead." I smiled. "Let's hope it taste as good as it looks" Gladys mummers but only the adults heard her. I ignored it, but she was already pushing grandma smith to her limit. "So Jughead how did you and Betty meet" grandma smiled sipping her wine. "Oh well we have always been friends, but our sophomore year we helped each other through some tough times and got pretty close." Jughead smiled and grabbed Betty's hand. I was trying to pay attention to my mom and the kids but I couldn't help to notice the way Gladys was all over fp. It wasn't that noticeable, but just so I could see. Grandma smith also saw the touching but she wasn't going to stand for it. "If you two need a minute the bathroom is down the hall" she smiled at Gladys. "I need more wine" I stood up from the table and went into the kitchen. I thought I heard my mother's heels knocking behind me, but to my surprise it was Gladys. "Can you control your mother please." She looked Me dead straight in the eyes. "Well she would not need to say anything if you could keep your hands off of him for one minute" I shot back stepping closer towards Gladys. "You jealous Alice. It's just like high school you broke up and your mad he moved on. I think it's time for you to move on." She smirked. Betty walked into the kitchen just as I was about to swing at Gladys. "Mom do you guys need any help?" "No honey we just got caught up talking". I smiled at Betty and went back to my seat followed by Gladys and Betty. We finished eating dinner and moved to the living room for quality time. "Jughead how is everything going at school with the paper?" I asked starting the conversation. "It's going great actually me and Betty are really getting the hang of it" He smiled and put his arm around her. "Gosh Jughead I'm sorry for staring it's just that you remind me so much of your dad. The looks and the way you are with the ladies" grandma smiled at the teens. "What my dad actually had a way with the ladies" Jughead laughs. "Oh all of them drooled over your father, but he was a very faithful to his girlfriend at the time." I smiled at fp. "Hey mom do you still have your yearbook?" Betty asked. "Maybe why?" "Oh I just wanted to look back and find you guys." She smiled. "It's in the attic you can go look." I smiled. "Thanks mom." Her and Jughead ran up the stairs. "How many years were you guys together?" Grandma asked me. "Three years." Fp answered her. "We had some fun times." I laughed. "Ya we did." Fp smiled at the memories, but was interrupted by Gladys hitting his shoulder. "Mom I found it!" Betty said coming downstairs. She sat right next to me and opened the book. "Mom you were gorgeous." Betty smiled and looked at me. "Thank you hunny." "Wow Dad I do look like you." Jughead smiled at his dad. Now they were all gathered around Me and Betty looking at the book. "Mom you were a cheerleader?" Jughead asked pointing her out in the cheer team picture. "Yes I was and your dad played football." She kissed his cheek. I rolled my eyes and flipped the page. "Mom is that?" Betty started to say. Fp leaned closer towards the book. His face was right beside Alice's now. "Hey that was the night we won the state champ game." Fp smiled looking at the book. "It sure was." I smiled and looked over at Fp. We made eye contact and stared just a little to long. "Mom is that you kissing the quarterback?" Betty said giggling. "Oh uhh ya actually." I shyly smiled. "Who was the quarterback he looks hot." Betty laughed. I closed the book and stood up. "Alice hunny what's wrong?" Grandma asked standing up and grabbing the book. She sat back down and I rolled my eyes going into the kitchen. I could hear my mom making smart remarks and telling the kids about high school. I closed my eyes and drank some wine trying not to break out of jealousy. I felt a pair of hands on my shoulder and opened my eyes to see Fp. "Ali what's wrong?" He asked. "Why are you in here. You should be with your wife." I said and stared at the floor. "Alice what's wrong and don't lie to me." I looked up into his eyes "I can't look at you and Gladys and not be jealous and wish it was us in the living room." He wiped away a tear that ran down my cheek. "I didn't know you felt this way." He looked deep into my eyes. It was quiet for a moment. "you should get back out to Gladys." I said and wiped away the rest of my tears. "Why the woman I love is right here." He cupped my cheek. "What?" "I love you Alice Susanna Smith." He smiled and put his other arm around my waist. "I love you to." I smiled and leaned into his chest. "We should go back in there" I smiled and looked up into his eyes. "Ya lets go." He smiled and gave me a soft kiss. He pulled away and we stared into each other's eyes. I grabbed him by his jacket and pulled him back into a kiss. The kiss wasn't soft this time. It was more of making up for the twenty years we have lost. All of our wants and needs being full field. I pulled away to catch my breath and smiled. "Ok let's go." We smiled at each other and started to head back into the living room when we saw my mom. "I think I did my job well." She smirked. "Mom you can't say anything." "I won't, but Forsythe you Better break it off soon." "Yes mam." We smiled and headed back into the living room. "Well it's getting late Lets go." Fp said. They headed out the door and back to the trailer. We opened back up the year book and finished looking through it. I knew the book front to back because I created it myself. We sat and talked for awhile more then I went upstairs to make the guest bedroom for my mom. I said goodnight to Betty then went back downstairs. I caught my mom looking through my phone. "You still trying to get into my phone mom." I laughed and set my wine glass in the sink. "Well you got a text and I couldn't help myself." She smirked. "Who text me." "Oh just your little boyfriend." She smiled and handed me my phone. The text was from Fp.
"Hey Ali just wanted to say goodnight and I am going to end it tomorrow. Love you".
I smiled at the text
"You don't have to rush anything I trust you and love you too goodnight"
(Authors note) Should I make a part 2? Let me know. It would consist of Fp telling Gladys and telling the kids about them and the past. Let me know!!
