Forbidden love (Alice x FP)

Chapter 7: 'I am so happy for you Alice'

I woke up to a text from FP. Thank god Hal had already left or he would've been furious.

'Thanks for last night.' I just said, plain and simple but it meant to much to me.

'You're very much welcome.'

***

'Mom?' Betty called out. I was already making us some breakfast. Hal had left for the register early today so me and my daughter were the only ones in the house.

'Yeah?' I yelled back.

'Can I talk to you?' Elizabeth asked whilst coming down the stairs.

'Well of course you can, sit.' I grabbed some pancakes and put them on her plate. I added some maple syrup because I knew it was her favorite topping. 'What do you want to talk about?' I asked, pouring some orange juice in her cup.

'It's about Juggy and before you start going on and on about him, please hear me out.' She seemed nervous.

'He uhm, didn't try something did he?' I couldn't not ask her.

'What do you mean?' She really didn't know what I was talking about.

'Did he.. force you into doing something you didn't want?' I asked nervously.

'Oh no, mom! No, that's not it.'

'Hmm I'm glad.' I let out a sigh of relief. 'So what is it?'

'Well, when you and dad just started dating.. Did you tell him everything about yourself?'

'I certainly did.. and I regret it. Later on he used these secrets against me.'

'Oh... but I trust Jughead mom.' She looked at me with a debating look whether she should be open to him.

'I'm glad you do and I'm sure he's trustable but.. just don't.. tell him everything. I told your dad my deepest fears, my secrets.. some of those he later used against me.'

'Alright, I guess I get that. Now I really have to leave for school.'

Oh god I got totally caught up in the conversation. We fight and disagree a lot but when we talk.. those are the best talks a mother and a daughter could ever have. They are really heartfelt.

As I was ready to go to work, I heard a key being pushed in the lock of our front door. I looked over my shoulder and saw some blond hairs appearing.

'Mom?' My firstborn looked me right in the eyes and she certainly hadn't seen this coming.

'Oh my god Polly!' I ran up to her, almost tripping over the carpet. Tears escaped me eyes as I saw her belly. I hugged her tightly.

'Honey, I'm so happy you came home!' I had now started to bawl my eyes out.

'Me too mom.' She released herself from our hug. 'I just didn't want to give birth at the farm you know..'

'Oh I am so glad you've made this decision. I'm proud of you Polly.' I took her hands.

'So what's been going on here? She asked as I told her all about.. well not everything... about the dinner with FP and what had been going on with Jughead and Betty. After almost an hour of talking and catching up I realized something. 'OH god.. I have to call your father.' I quickly dailed his number. He said he'd be home soon. I texted Betty and she immediately asked if she could come home early. Of course I told her to stay till last period. She texted back that she's rush home after her last lesson.

'Common, let's bring your stuff up to your bedroom.' I carried her suitcase up the stairs. 'Can I make you something to eat?'

'Uhmm I'd love a piece of your peach piece.' She said smiling. 'Ahh, you know I always have at least one left. I'll go get if for you!'

I ran down the stairs and dialed the next most important number I had memorized.

'Alice?'

'Hey FP! I have great news!'

'What's up?! You do seem excited.'

'Polly came back home!' I wanted to shout it as loud as I could but instead I whispered.

'Oh my.. I'm glad Alice. I really am.'

'Thanks, I just wanted to let you know.'

'Well, I'm glad you did. Guess it means that...'

'Means what?' I asked.

'That I'm still important to you.'

'Oh FP, you always have been and you always will.'

'Glad to hear that.'

'Well I really have to go now, I promised to get Polly some..'

'Peach pie?' He finished my sentence.

'How'd you?..'

'I just know you Alice.' That made me have butterflies in my stomach.

'Bye FP.' We both hung up, I got the piece of pie for my eldest daughter and ran back upstairs.

As I was approaching the door of her bedroom I noticed her sniffling. I placed the pie on her nightstand and tried to console her.

'Mom, I am scared.'

'What are you scared of honey?' I wiped away her tears. 'Of the birth, of my age.. of everything.'

'Oh darling... I get that.. but you must know that we are here for you. I'll help you though everything, I swear.' I grabbed her hand to let her know that I was there for her.

'How did you.. I mean weren't you scared of the birth of your son because you were still so young?'

I hadn't thought she would bring this up so I was caught off guard.

'Uhm, I was yeah. I really understand what you're going trough. But hey remember this.. After him, I did that again. Twice, with you and Betty. I swear when you're holding your child in your arms, it will be the best feeling ever.'

She smiled. 'I hope so.'

'Everything will be okay honey.'

So this time I focussed on Polly a little more because I wanted to bring her back for the upcoming storylines. Get excited for some more Falice in the next chapter! ;)

I didn't want to bring her back and not mention her pregnancy or Alice's, so this is what I did, hope you liked it!! Please vote and comment, that would make me very happy :)
