FP POV:
"Sorry if this is a bad time FP, I didn't think you would have company." Gladys said taking a step back after smelling the vomit.
"Yeah, its not" I replied equally as annoyed. Of all times she shows up now.
"FP would you mind getting me a bucket to puke in?" Alice said before throwing up all over the floor again.
"Oh my god FP... her!" Gladys said before storming into the trailer.
"Who the hell do you think you are Gladys!" I said yelling back at her stepping in front of Alice. "I am your wife FP!"
"Well maybe I don't want you to be my wife Gladys!"
And once again because timing is never in our favor Jug, Betty, and Jellybean all walk through the door.
"Dad what the hell is going on in here?" Jug yelled getting in-between Gladys and I.
"Jug take Betty and your sister outside please." I said stepping closer to Gladys. Without another word Jug took them both outside.
I walked over to the front door shutting it and locking it. There was no way I was going to have the kids walk in during the argument again. Before I can get back in-between the women Gladys is already getting in Alice's face.
"Sleeping with my husband again Alice?" She said getting way to close for comfort.
"No, only once." Alice said with no anger or emotion. She is never like this, she always has fire beneath her comments.
"Once? Wow you learned how to have some self control, I'm surprised he hasn't knocked you up yet." She said laughing.
"Um, Gladys now is not the time." I said pulling her further away from Alice.
Alice started to giggle with her head in-between her legs still. "Wouldn't be the first time." She said with a little more attitude.
"Not the first time." Gladys said snapping her head back to me. "You mean she has been before?"
"Please go Gladys" I said trying to avoid telling her about Charles and this baby.
"No FP I am your wife and I will stay in Riverdale until we make this relationship work, we have kids together!"
"And so do WE!" Alice yelled immediately covering her forehead with her hands. Her eyes start to revert back into her head and she collapses back on the couch into a puddle of vomit. I push past Gladys and pick Alice up and brought her to the bedroom. Gladys following close behind.
"Why is there vomit everywhere FP! Are you two hung over or something?!"
I don't reply and she continues to yell.
"Wow, how perfect I come home to two drunks in my home!" I wanted to say something back but Alice beats me to it.
"Definitely not drunk" She said before collapsing back into the bed.
"Well then, care to explain what the hell I walked in on?" Gladys said crossing her arms and standing over Alice.
"Gladys please go, we can sort this out all later."
"What did she mean by you have kids?" Gladys asked before pulling me out of my own room leaving Alice alone in the bed. "Gladys I do not have to discuss this with you." I said getting increasingly angry with her.
"FP we are married you have to tell me something!" She yelled back.
"I am going to tell you something Gladys and you're not going to like it!"
"Fine, just tell me already!" She yelled even louder.
"I, uh, I can't tell you. I'm sorry, its not my place." I said rubbing my face with my hands. It's not my place to tell her about Charles, and it never will be. Alice is the one who should tell her if she wants to.
"Of corse you can't, you don't tell me anything do you?" She said scoffing.
"Gladys may I remind you that you are the one who left me in the first place." I said trying not to yell because I know our kids can hear us from outside.
"Fine I left but you refused to clean up your act and I didn't want my daughter around a man like you," She took a deep breath and continues before I can get a word in. "and where the hell is her husband anyway, did she finally kick him to the curb or did she just use you again." She said smirking because she is proud of herself. If only she knew what Alice has gone through in the past few months she would be ashamed of herself.
"Don't bring Alice into this again. All I know is that I was here for my son, and if our daughter had the chance to know me, I'm sure she would much rather live with a drunk than a sociopath." I said before going over to the front door and unlocking it.
"I think its time for you to go Gladys" I said opening the door, to three kids all sitting on the steps looking shocked as ever.
"No FP I am not leaving." She said not moving from the kitchen.
"Mom, Jellybean let me drive you to a motel." Jug suggested trying to make peace.
"Come on Jughead, you are just like your father. I thought you wanted me back here, I thought you wanted your family back together!"
"I do want my family back together! But not like this." He said walking towards the truck.
"Gladys I'd suggest you'd take Jel's with you and go with Jug. I'll pay for the hotel if you want."
"No FP I came back for us, and our family, not so you could have your dirty mistress take over our home and ruin our family again!" Gladys said starting to get enraged.
"Don't you ever, ever, talk about Alice as if she is some kind of mistress or home-recker. You are the one who left, you are the one who destroyed this family in the first place. If you had been here for me when I started drinking again this family would still be together. I needed you and you left. There is no way in hell I am letting you back into my life now." I said standing my ground and forcing her out the door.
Betty had been standing there watching as her mother gets bashed by another woman. "Hey Betty I'm really sorry about what she said, don't take it to heart." I said trying to help.
"Thank you Mr. Jones for standing up for her." She said and gives me a weak smile before leaving to go with Jug.
I shut the front door and walked back into my room. I start to panic when I see Alice wasn't where I left her.
"Alice?" I call.
Suddenly a cool breeze comes over the top of my head. I looked to the left and see my bedroom window is wide open...
