Alice POV:
I had thankfully fallen back to sleep and stayed asleep for a few good hours before rolling over and realizing FP wasn't there. I sat up slowly looking around the room. I stand up slowly looking down and beginning to panic as blood begins to rush down my legs. I scream bloody murder but no one is here. I walk through the doorway and into the hall to see non other than Hal Cooper standing at the end with a gun in hand. "It's your turn sinner!" He said whilst letting out an evil cackle.
FP POV:
Her breathing began to become quicker and quicker until she woke up and began screaming. "Its okay, I'm here, I'm here." I said rubbing her arms.
She sat up and scans the room. "Jug and Betty left to go home and get some sleep, I hope you don't mind, they will be back soon." I said thinking thats who she was looking for.
"Where is he?" She asked continuing to look around the room.
"Wheres who?" I asked confused as ever. "Him, Hal?" She asked shocking me even more.
"Alice he's in prison." I said trying to calm her down. She doesn't respond and continues to scan the room as if he is about to show up. I sit up and looked her in the eyes. She looks like she's in a trance. I wave my hand in front of her eyes and there is no reaction.
"Alice!" I yelled hoping that she will snap out of it. "Yeah" She said looking at me.
"You okay?"
"Uh, yeah. I'm fine. Just a bad dream is all." She said rubbing her eyes.
"I'm starving." She said and I can't disagree its been hours since we have both eaten anything.
"What do you want?"
"Anything sweet, like ice cream."
"How about some crackers?" I asked hoping she doesn't get mad. She gives me a nasty glare.
"Its just that you threw up everything in you yesterday and I don't want you to puke again."
"Fine" She agrees and rolls her eyes.
I got up and start to walk out. "Wait, please bring some ice cream" She said smiling. I nod and walk out the door.
Alice POV:
The second he left I immediately felt empty. God Alice you can't be. No, stop thinking about him Alice. I do have his baby in me, maybe thats why I can't get him off my mind. The first time I was pregnant with a Jones baby I couldn't stop either. The whole time I was pregnant with Charles all I wanted was for him to be there with me.
My thoughts were thankfully interrupted by Betty and Jug coming in the room.
"Hi mom, how are you?" Betty said coming over to give me a hug. "I'm doing okay, would you mind helping me up?"
"Uh yeah mom, but why do you need to get up?" Betty asked becoming concerned.
"I have to use the bathroom Betty, is that a problem?" I asked sarcastically. She shakes her head no and comes over to the edge of the bed. She assists me as I get up and helps me to the bathroom.
FP POV:
I walked back into the room and she's not in her bed. Jug is sitting in the corner not looking concerned at all. "Jug where did she go?" I asked beginning to panic.
"Relax dad, she just had to use the bathroom. You know you were never this concerned when mom was pregnant Jellybean."
I rolled my eyes at that comment, I knew it was true but there is no way I was about to gush my feelings to Jug.
"FP is that you?" Alice called from the bathroom. "Yeah Ali, its me do you need anything?"
"Yeah, Betty is in here but she's not strong enough to help me up or get me in to the bed, would you mind?" She said Betty slowly opening the bathroom door.
"Not at all." I said with a smile. I slide past Betty not wanting to open the door fully. I turn around until she is done and then help her up.
"Why do you do that?" She asked.
"Do what?"
"You have seen me before, its not that weird Jones." She said smirking. I helped her up, and assist her into the bed. "Now about that food" She said reaching for the food at the end of the bed.
I took a long pause not wanting to ask about what I have not been able to stop thinking about "So Alice, I was wondering what you were planing on doing, you know, about the baby?" I said hoping she still doesn't want an abortion.
She looks around at the kids and Jug steps up to go. "No Jug you're fine, you don't have to go." I smile at the comment hoping it means good news.
Betty is standing next to Jug clearly waiting in anticipation. "If you want an honest answer, I don't know what I'm going to do." She sighed.
"I hope you know that my feelings towards you won't change if you choose to go through with the abortion. It's your body and I can't force a pregnancy on you." I said immediately regretting it. Why on earth did I just say I have feelings for her. I do, but now it might cloud her judgement. I mentally slapped myself over and over.
She doesn't answer and I look over to Betty and Jug who are both smirking.
"What?" I said and they both shake their heads.
"Nothing." Jug says looking down at his lap. I looked back at Alice who is fighting a grin.
Alice POV:
I cannot believe he had just admitted he has feelings for me. Now I know it wasn't a mistake. I look at him and our eyes meet his face immediately turns bright red.
"Hey kids would you mind giving us a minute?" I asked, not breaking eye contact with FP.
"Why did you ask them to leave?" FP asked after the kids leave the room.
"FP, I won't have an abortion if you don't want me to, but I'm not sure if I can do this." I said and his face softens making me feel a little better.
"What can't you do?" He asked placing his hand on mine.
"You know carry the child, push out a child, raise a child, its a lot to do alone."
He looks stunned at my comment.
"Who said you are going to do this alone?" He said gripping my hand.
"Thank you Jones, I will try to continue with the pregnancy... but I'm warning you I'm a nightmare when I'm craving things." I said smirking.
"Oh gosh Al, your mind is dirtier than a gutter."
"Now when can I get out of here?" I say giggling.
