A Falice Fanfic - True Love Will Never Die

Talking to the Moon - Bruno Mars

Alice's POV:
I drive home to find Betty already back waiting for me smiling asking me, obviously way too many questions.

And I just asked her to slow down, as I told her all about High School, the real truth about Charles's Dad and how tonight was actually the happiest she's felt in years and how she knows her and Jughead are dating and she doesn't want to affect their relationship.

And before I could get in another word, Betty says "Mum, its okay, we can work this out, oh and by the way'
A: Yes Betty
B: I found Fp's sock by your door?

I blush and run upstairs to hide it, but she shouts.
B: It's okay I've put it down here, and I just texted Jug to come over and bring his dad so we can properly talk this all over.

Anddd the talk both me and Fp have been avoiding has been sprung upon us.

Fp's POV:
Jughead is waiting for me on the sofa as stands up to shake my hand and say "From what Alice has told Betty and the fact you didn't come home last night, I'm presuming it went well?"

And I nod, trying not to give too much away, after all my kid is dating Ali's daughter...
He attacks me with questions and I give him one word answers, it was starting to get really awkward and I was saved by his phone going off. Or so I thought...

J: Dad Betty says that we should go over to hers and discuss a few things, which I think is necessary.
Fp: Okay son

I quickly change my clothes and we head out in my Truck. I take a deep breath, wondering if Alice is going to come clean about us before this date, or even what happened at High School with her Dad and our son.

Jug sits quietly next to me and we don't even try to make convosation, I don't know if he is angry at me, I want to put him first, and if that means that me and Ali need to keep it on the down low, so be it. I don't want to effect his and Betty's relationship.

Alice's POV:
I hear a knock and Betty rushes up to get it, leaving me on the sofa. I fiddle with my hair making sure it's in place, and make eye contact with Fp and suddenly I'm calm again.

This feels so new, Fp in my house, on my sofa with his kid and my kid. If this turns out to be a thing, it will take some getting used to.

B: So Mum, Fp, I don't really know where to start, I suppose we can start with you , Fp
Fp: Okay Betty ask away
B: Juggy was wondering
J: Basically Dad, you aren't divorced yet with Mum...
Fp: I know son, but in fact she is probably signing the papers right now, I know how much our family meant to you boy. But it's not reality.
J: What is reality then Dad you sleep with my girlfriend's mum!
B: Jug! Sit down , for me.
A: In fact Jughead, me and your father were dating way before he even met your mother. I had his baby, Betty's brother Charles, Your brother.
J: Wait what, Dad you didn't!
Fp: I know this is a lot to take in, but me and Ali, I mean Alice, have never really forgotten about each other. Jug I've been in love with her for 20 years.
B: I think I understand now Fp, And as long as we are happy and our parents are happy, I mean?
A: That's all I want, for us all to be happy.
J: If you'll excuse me for a minute
B: I should go follow him

Alice + Fp
Alice looks up at Fp and whispers 'I've never stopped loving you either' and Fp holds her face and they kiss, breaking sharply away when they hear Betty and Jughead coming back.

Betty + Jughead
J: Betty, our parents? How many times have they slept together? I thought they hated each other?
B: I'm not sure Jug, but this is the happiest I've seen mum since, Actually since ever.
J: Dad hasn't touched any alcohol in months come to think of it... Let's go back Betty.
And she wraps her arms around him as he kisses her cheek.

J: So, me and dad will live at the trailer as per usual right?
A: Of course Jughead don't worry about that side of things. (To Fp) I think I can resist you most nights
Fp: (To Alice) Oh really?
B: Mum! Not now!

And Alice and Fp blush awkwardly realising that their children had heard their sexual teasing, and Alice just laughed it off resting her head on her man's chest. Betty looks over at her mum almost proudly, as if the Daughter/Mother roles have changed around. Jughead just looks at the way his father looks at Alice, realising he never looked this way at his mother, and that it was never meant to be, that it was supposed to be Alice all along.

Rather damned himself and Betty hadn't figured out something that was going on blatently right under their noses they discuss about times they had been left alone.

B: Wait so Mum, care to explain what you were actually doing when you and Fp took about 5 minutes to come to the door to see him and Jug out?
A: It was not 5 minutes. And nothing.
Fp: Just talking.
J: Dad I can tell when you"re lying.
A: Well
B: Well?
Fp: We were doing a special type of..
A: Dance?
Fp: Yes exactly, A serpent dance for the old times.

And with that Fp burst out with laughter, Alice joining him and Jughead who had just drank a mouthful of water, Spat it all out and it going all over Alice and Fp opposite him. Which made Betty laugh, as she remembered Fp's sock from earlier and she exclaimes:

B: Oh right Fp, so that would explain why I found your sock upstairs then this morning?
J: Andddd why you walked into the house with one sock on earlier

And they all erupt with laughter once more...

As an outsider , nobody would suspect anything more than a normal family, having a laugh in their home. But this came with struggle, a long 20 years in fact, but now they were finally there. Alice in Fp's arms. Betty in Jug's.

Things seemed to be going great for the remaining Coopers/Jones, that they would work out their problems. But then again, when does a few days of happiness ever last in Riverdale?
