"Alice, Alice." JB whispered poking my cheek. "Hm" I hummed in an annoyed tone. "I'm sorry I'll leave." She got out of bed and shut the door. I sat up realizing what happened and followed her out. "Jellybean." I called knocking on her door. "Down here!" She yelled from somewhere downstairs. I followed the noises from the kitchen to see pancakes. "You know how to cook?" I questioned filling my cup with the coffee FP made. "No. Dad made it before he left." She shrugged and cleaned her plate. "He said not to wake you cause you need rest, but it's was already ten."
"Well thanks. Sorry if I came off a little grumpy. I tend to get that way especially with being pregnant." I chuckled. "Your drinking decaf right?" She looked at me suspicious. "Your dad stocked our cabinet with it the minute he found out." I made a plate and sat down at the table. "What are the schools like here?"
"We have one elementary, one middle school, and one high school." I chuckled. "It's a small town, so we didn't need any more schools." I shrugged.  "I hope people aren't boring.  Kids were either book smart to where they were sooooo boring or they were street smart, so they were getting into trouble enough for juvie." JB rolled her eyes. "It's not like that here. There are other stereotypes to explore." I chuckled and cleaned up my plate.  "We can actually look at the middle school today if you like." I suggested. Jelly nodded her head and headed up stairs. "I'm ready!" Jellybean yelled running down the staircase. "You look...older." I kept my words controlled. JB has a black crop top on with a short pair of washed out shorts. "I know it's amazing right." She grinned and spun around. "Your dads going to kill me and if not just me then the both of us." I stood frozen staring at the young girl in-front of me. "He'll be fine let's go." She grabbed my hand dragging my outside. I grabbed Betty's jacket before leaving. "Put this on." I tossed the jacket to her as we got out. "Fine." She sighed and zipped the jacket up. "You know your wearing my fathers shirt." She smirked and open the school doors. "All I did was change my pants this morning." I shrugged and followed behind her.  "You don't sleep in pants." She huffed. "Ya well your dad doesn't mi...Good morning mrs.Goodwell." I smiled shaking her hand. "Good morning Alice and who may this be?" The older lady looked JB up and down. "I'm Jellybean Jones." She grinned introducing herself. "JB is going to be living with us now and we wanted to see if it was possible to start her this semester." I smiled and Mrs.Goodwell led us to her office. "So Alice, I didn't know you had another daughter. With another man." She looked between the two of us. "Jellybean is my step daughter and I am not with Hal, not that it is any of your business." I gritted. "Let's focus on the child." She smiled changing the subject. "You can start this semester, but you will be having a lot of catch up work." She sighed. "That's fine. I somewhat like school so the work doesn't bother me much." Jelly shrugged. "Well then I will send the papers home with you and hopefully see you in a week or two." She smiled handing my the packet. "Have a good afternoon Alice, Jellybean."
"Goodbye." I said not giving her a second glance. JB quickly caught up to me not being able to hide her laughs. "I'm sorry I shouldn't act that way. She just pushed my buttons." I huffed and started the car. "That's was awesome. She was a bitch."
"Forsythia Jones, watch your mouth!" I scolded  and she shrunk in her seat. "I'm sorry." She mumbled and stared out the window. "Just don't let it happen again. At least around me or your dad. Ok?" I softened my tone. She nodded and gave me a small smile. "Betty and Jughead should be getting home soon. Do you want Pops or something else?" I asked while waiting for a green light. "Soup sounds good. I don't know why but it does." She shrugged. "That sounds great." I smiled. We made a quick stop to the store before heading home and heating everything up. "We're home!" Betty yelled setting her bag down. "In here!" I yelled finishing everything up. "Please tell me we have meatballs or something." Jug sighed stirring the pot of soup. "There are meatballs and grilled cheese sandwich's in the oven." I smiled and jughead punched the air in victory. "Where is the old man?" He questioned. "Who you calling old?" FP asked slapping the back of jugs beanie. "You." He smirked before running up the stairs. "Well you are a really hot old man." I hummed and slung my arms around his waist. "I'll call myself old once I stop kicking." He chuckled placing a kiss on my lips.  "You definitely haven't stopped kicking because the baby just kicked!" I squealed and cupped my tiny bump. "I didn't feel it." FP protested and moved his hand to mine. I poked my stomach and placed FP's hand exactly where it kicked. "OH MY!" FP's face was lit up like a Christmas tree. "It kicked it really kicked."
"Not trying to ruin the moment, but call it Peanut or something. Just not it." Betty smiled and went after Jughead. "I like peanut." FP pondered before turning his attention back to my belly. "Your belly is starting to grow." He kissed it before moving back to my lips. "I know. I can't wait for the big bump." I smiled. "You hungry?" I questioned going back to the soup. "Always." He chuckled and called the kids down. "I'm going to change and be right back." He kissed me one more time. We had dinner and talked about the kids school and JB starting school. Of course FP had to brag about his weight lifting skills at work, not that I minded him showing his muscles off. "I'll do the dishes tonight Alice." JB smiled and took everyone's plates. "Thank you sweetie." I smiled and headed up to bed. "I'm beat." FP sighed falling onto the bed. "Then come up here so I can cuddle with you." I chuckled and moved closer to him. "How was your day?" I asked. "Good, but glad to be home with my family, who is growing by the minute." He smiled and placed his hand on the bump. "I love you baby and I love you mommy." FP smiled kissing the baby and I. "Goodnight baby I love you." I chuckled snuggling myself into FP's chest.
