(Authors note) so I decided to make this like a 3 or 4 part. This chapter is kind of like a filler for the next one. Jellybean is like 5 or 6 here, so last chapter she was with a babysitter or something.
After I text Fp back I took my mom upstairs and said goodnight. As I layed in bed my mind could not rest. I just kept thinking *i'm a homewrecker and I am destroying Jugheads family. Yes he is the love of my life, but I don't want Jughead to hate me and even Betty. What are the kids going to think about Fp leaving his wife for another woman and the other woman being your girlfriends mom. Can I really go through with this?*. The next morning I woke up to the smell of pancakes. I looked at the clock beside me and it was already 10:00. "Crap, I overslept." I threw on my robe and headed downstairs. As soon as I step into the kitchen my mother speaks. "You look like you have been through hell." "Ya Well home wreckers don't get much sleep Mom." I said sipping the coffee she poured me. "What do you mean homewrecker?" Grandma set a plate down in front of me. "I mean I am tearing a family apart for my own selfish feelings." "Honey he loves you. Your not tearing a family apart. You would only be a homewrecker if you slept with him and didn't love him." She smiled rubbing my back. "Mom I didn't sleep with him, well recently, but the point is I'm still breaking up a family." "Baby, there isn't much love there if he told you that he loved you last night. You should call him and talk it will make you feel better. Now I'm going to get the mail. Get up, dressed, and stop feeling sorry for yourself because we are going for a walk." Grandma said heading outside. I growled getting up from my seat and heading upstairs to get changed. "Why does she have to be so bossy!" I growled again. "I heard that!" She yelled coming back inside. I rolled my eyes walking up the stairs and into my room. I changed my clothes, fixed my hair, then went back downstairs. "I'm ready now." I say with a smile. "Sweetie do you have anything that doesn't make you look like a 50s poster mom." Grandma said looking me up and down. "Mom have you seen what my life looks like. I am a 50s poster mom." I threw my hands up in the air. "Ok well looks like we are going shopping." She smiled evilly. "Now let's go this is going to take awhile." She grabbed her purse and my key and went out the door. "How am I going to get through this." I whispered to myself following her out the door. Once we arrived at the mall we stopped for drinks. "Ok Mom what exactly do you plan on changing my look to?" I asked taking a sip of my coffee. "Well not totally like you used to, but not like your dressed now." "What does that even mean?" I put my palm to my head. "I know the perfect store let's go." She grabbed my hand a basically pulled me out of my seat. By the time I found her in the store again she had several outfits and a dressing room on hold. "You ready to try on?" She asked pushing me into the room. "I want to see everything!" I shut the door and locked it so she couldn't follow me in. The first outfit was a skin tight black dress with a white stripe down the side with a slit at the bottom. I had to admit the dress was flattering. I walked outside to show her. "Ouuu I like that one. Keep going." The next outfit was a colorful romper that was low it in the front. It almost irritates me how my mother can find the perfect clothes. "I love that one to. Go try on one more." The last thing I tried on was a more younger version of me. It was a black leather skirt with a mesh top and just to top it off she got a black bra with roses stitched into it. I almost regret putting it on. "Ok I am buying all three of these and when you go out with Fp your wearing this." Grandma said with a huge smile on her face. We headed back to the car.
Fps POV
The next morning I woke up in bed with Gladys. Looking over at her I gave her a sad smile and leaving the room, so she could sleep. Jughead has already went to school, so at sat at the table and drank some coffee thinking of some ways how I was going to ask Gladys for the divorce. Things have been rocky around here lately, but I don't think she was expecting this. Of course I was going to tell Why I am leaving, which she will probably tell Jug and then he will tell Betty. God I feel selfish, but I love that woman and will do anything to be with her again. I mean god we almost had a child, but she miscarried which led to me getting drunk one night and starting the fight that broke us up. Of course I did actually love Gladys, but if I was being honest when I first went out with her I was just trying to make Alice say sorry first, but obviously that didn't work out very well. My thoughts were interrupted by Gladys walking into the kitchen and pouring a cup of coffee. "Good morning Fp." She smiled slightly and sat at the table with me. "Morning Gladys." I smiled back. "So when you went into the kitchen with Alice last night what did you talk about?" Gladys asked crossing her legs. "Well actually that's something I wanted to talk about." I said looking into my coffee. "Your going to leave right?" I looked up into her eyes. They weren't watery, but filled with anger. "Gladys..." "No I expected this. I'm surprised you didn't do it sooner. I know things have been rocky ever since our kids started dating each other and I figured it had something to do with her." "Gladys..". "Wait let me finish. I know about the miscarriage and the drinking and the reason you came to me was to make her jealous." "How do you know about all of that?" I asked. "Well, Alice told Hal about everything when they got divorced. About how she can't love him anymore when her heart wants someone else, so when the divorce was final he kindly came to worn me." "Gladys I'm sorry...I'm sorry that this happened. I thought I would never see her again and I did, do love you. Your the mother of my children. You will always hold a place in my heart, but my heart wants her." I looked back into her eyes. There were still no tears. "I guess you can't all blame yourself I haven't been feeling this relationship for awhile now either. Just actually ending is the weird part." "Ya." We stared at each other for a moment. "Well when do you want to set a date for the courthouse?" Gladys asked taking a sip of her coffee. "I don't know haven't thought about it. I thought this part would have gone a lot different." "You should go see her tell her about the divorce. I will get the papers tomorrow." She sighed and walked into the living room. "Gladys thank you and can you not mention Alice in the divorce or at all when you tell Jughead. We want to tell the kids together and explain everything please." "Ok I won't say anything about her. I will tell him that it's just not working out anymore." "Thank you Gladys." And with that I was out the door.
Gladys POV
After Fp left I turned on the tv and tried to relax. I wasn't upset, but trying to comprehend that I was really divorcing Fp. I heard the bedroom door open and remembered Jellybean was home from school. "Good morning sweetie when did you wake up?" I asked. "Uh awhile ago I was just laying in bed." She smiled slightly. "Why did daddy leave?" She asked sitting beside me. "He um went to go talk to Alice." "Are you really going to split up?" She asked starting to tear up. "Yes sweetie we are." I said wiping her eyes. "Why?" "Daddy um....we just don't like each other as much anymore." "You don't like each other?" She asked starting to cry more. "No sweetie we still like each other just not in a very loving way anymore." I said holding her in my arms. "Does he love Alice?" Jellybean asked sitting up. "You will have to ask him yourself hunny." I sadly smiled at her. "Now what do you want for breakfast?" I asked changing the subject. "I don't care. I think I'm going to go lay back down." Jelly said going back into her room.
