Alice's POV
"Alice we are leaving in ten minutes!" Hal yelled upstairs. "I'm trying to hurry! You no good snob." I sighed under my breath. I jammed the rest of Betty's clothes into her bag and handed it to her. "Ok go with dad." I ushered her to the stairs. I ran into the master bedroom and grabbed my bag. "Ok, I'm here." I threw my bag into the back of the station wagon and sat in the passenger seat. "Finally." Hal sighed taking off. Every year for christmas we go to Hals parents. The girls never get to see my parents because Hal had convince me to shut them out when I married him. That has to be my biggest regret ever. Ok maybe not, but my biggest regret is never to be spoken of.
"How much longer." Polly mumbled waking up from her nap. "We are here!" Hal cheered and I just rolled my eyes. The Coopers never really liked me, until I became the perfect stepford wife. I changed the girls into the sweater that Hals mom had made them, so hopefully that takes the attention away from me.
"My babies come here." Grandma Cooper cheered stepping out of the house. "Grandma!" Betty and Polly ran into her arms. "How are you doing mom?" Hal smiled receiving a hug from his mom. "Great now that my family is here." She smiled down at the girls. "Where is Alice dear?" She questioned. "Right here." I poked my head out from behind the car. "Don't worry about the bags Hal will get them." She patted on his back to urge him.
I guess that's one thing I like about her. Ever since I gave her grandchildren she makes Hal do all of the heavy work. "How have you been dear? Any news on another grandchild?" She questioned and my breathed hitched. Well you have another one already, but you are not related to him in anyway and your son made me give him up for adoption. "We haven't really talked about anymore." I smiled politely hoping she wouldn't push.
"Well don't let us stop the merry spirit this weekend." She winked. I cringed inside and threw up in my mouth. "Mom enough. Enjoy the two you have right now." Hal laughed setting the bags inside. I took the girls bags into the room they share and helped them get settled in. "Mommy are you going to have another baby?" Polly questioned putting her clothes away. "I don't think so." I giggled. "Mommy!" Betty jumped off the bed and ran to the window.
"Yes baby." I giggled, her face lit up when she saw snow. Yes we had snow in riverdale, but here it meant skiing. "When are we going skiing. I l-love it." Betty jumped for joy. I couldn't help, but giggle at her trying to say l with her front teeth missing. "I think Grandpa said tomorrow." I gasped and the girls ran downstairs.
FP's POV
"You ready boy?" I questioned grabbing Jugheads bag from the bed. "Yes dad." He smiled and hopped into the truck. This year I decided to take Jug skiing. I had made some extra money from random jobs. This was his first Christmas without Gladys, so I figured this would lighten the mood a little.
"This is it." I said pulling into the hotel parking lot. "It is so big." Jug stared at the building with big eyes. This was huge compared to our small trailer. "Grab your bag and lets go check in." We grabbed our bags and got our room key. We were on the third floor, so Jughead was ecstatic. The only place he had been with stairs is the Andrews and Cooper house.
"Dad look I get my own bed!" Jug squealed jumping on it. "You do wow." I gasped. "This is the best christmas ever! I just wish mom and Jelly were here." Jugheads smiled turned into a frown. "Me too boy. Me too." I got us settled into the room and took Jughead to one of the little diners for dinner.
Alice's POV
"Betty wake up we get to go skiing!" I cheered waking the girls up. "What?" Betty asked groggy. I giggled she definitely got my sleeping habits. "Were going skiing!" I said again with the same enthusiasm. She gasped and ran to the closet. She shuffled through the clothes until she found all of her snow clothes.
"I'm ready." Betty yelled running down the stairs to meet the rest of us. We all giggled and then headed to the Cooper family van. Betty and I were the only ones actually going skiing because the others didn't like it very much. "You ready baby!" I asked as we pulled into the resort. "Always!" She grinded wide.
