"We have a problem." Alice sighed flopping back against the bed. "What's wrong?" FP questioned seeing how tense she is. "My mother is in town and I may or may not have told her we got married." Alice growled in frustration. "Then just tell her." He chuckled and stared massaging her shoulders. "She will be livid if she wasn't informed. Worst of all she will want to stay longer." Alice yelled into a pillow.
"Your mother is not that bad. It's your dad who scares the living soul out of me." He chuckled and grabbed a pair of pajama pants off of Alice's vanity chair. "I think my dad would chase you around the block again." She giggled slipping her silk robe over her nightie.
"That was the fastest I ever ran." FP laughed taking Alice's hand. "When is she coming down anyway?" FP questioned, but before he could answer a loud knock spread through their ears. "Alice..." FP looked at Alice as to say 'really' and ran back into the room. "Alice open the door it's freezing and..."
"Good morning mother." Alice cut her off opening the door with a smile. "Baby girl." Mrs. Smith brought to her daughter into a hug. "Where's FP hiding?" She questioned looking into the kitchen. "He went to change. We weren't expecting you this early." She sighed and closed the front door. "It's already 9:30 you two should be up already." She shook her head walking upstairs. "What room will I be staying in?" She came to a halt at the top. "Turn left last door on your left." Alice pointed down the hall.
"I will be down in about...twenty minutes. Be dressed please." She sighed and entered her room. Alice walked into her room to see FP in a button up shirt and jeans. "How scared are you really." She giggled pulling out a fresh change of underwear and clothes. "I am...hello sexy." He smirked and grabbed the undergarment. "FP, your such a child." Alice giggled and tried to snatch them back. He lifted them high into the air.
"These are going to have to cost you." He smirked and curled his finger towards her. She rolled her eyes playfully and walked over to him. "Tonight...shower." He stated and she nodded secretly excited. He peaked a kiss to her lips Still holding the garments up.
"Alice do you have...Well well, I didn't know you wore panties Forsythe." The lovers broke apart and FP threw the fabric. "Hey those were..." He nudged Alice before she could continue. "Do you have a towel? The plane made me feel nasty." She giggled and extended her hand. "There are some in the cabinets in the guest bath." FP smiled, but avoided all eye contact.
"Thank you." She smirked and left the two alone. "Where did you throw them?" Alice asked looking around the room. FP found them hanging on top of her mirror. "My lady." He chuckled and handed them over.
"So now that my mom walks in here whenever she wants, how are we going to be alone tonight." Alice pouted and finished changing. "I will make it happen!" FP declared walking out of the room. Alice followed closely behind him in a fit of giggles. The two decided to make a easy breakfast this morning.
"Wait your ring." Alice remembered and quickly grabbed his hand. "Al, we need to tell her." FP sighed. "I will just not right now. Please." Alice begged and FP reluctantly gave her his ring. Alice gave him a thank you kiss before rushing to put them away.
"I hope everyone's dressed and breakfast is made." Alices mother hummed walking gracefully down the stairs. "It's all ready mom." Alice smiled and placed a steaming black coffee on the table. "Why thank you." She smiled and started eating.
"So Alice, What have you two been doing lately? Anything exciting?" She questioned eyeing the couple. FP choked on his food, but Alice answered before he could. "Nothing much. Just kinda getting our life's settled." She nodded and turned her gaze to FP.
"So, have you found steady jobs?"
"Yes I actually work with Fred Andrews at our construction company." He nodded proud of himself. "Do you have a assistant?" Her gaze turned into a soft glare.
"No mam. Never will." FP shrugged. "Good. I don't need my little girl crushed because her husb...boyfriend couldn't keep it in his pants." She sighed and picked up her plate. "I could never do that to Alice. In fact we're trying for a baby." FP smiled and Alice's eyes flew wide open.
"I'm going to be a grandma?" Alices mom genuinely smiled for the first time. "Trying to." FP nodded and curled his arm around Alice. "I'm going to murder you in your sleep." Alice whispered in his ear before kissing his cheek.
"How long have you tried?"
"Oh well we just started." Alice sighed playing along with the lie. "Don't let my visiting stop you." She winked and grabbed her purse, going out for a walk.
As soon as she was out of site Alice was going to rip FP apart. "What the hell did you do!" She yelled standing up for the table. "I don't know! I just freaked." He sighed and covered his face with his hands. "So we're not married, but trying for a kid? I'm surprised she didn't try to bless us." She growled and started to stress clean.
"We were going to start trying next year. What's the harm in starting a little early?" He asked massaging her shoulders. "I just...I wanted to maybe be promoted at the register. I just want to make sure we're ready." She sighed and turned the water off.
"Ali, baby. We have a beautiful house, that we bought. We even have a dog." He chuckled seeing her smile. "He needs to come in and eat." Alice smiled watching FP rum to the back door and place food in the dog bowl.
"And now we can make a baby." He smirked and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I guess there's no harm in starting early." Alice shrugged and kissed FP's lips.
"I'm back and I found something interesting." You could hear the smirk on her face. "Yes mom?" Alice questioned moving to face her mother. "I ran into Fred. He thought it was awesome that your starting your family so soon after marriage." She smiled and placed the rings on the counter.
"You never hid things well did you darling." She chuckled as the young adults freaked out. "I'm not mad! I'm happy for the two of you." She chuckled and brought the two into a hug.
"I'm going to leave this house and stay in a hotel. When I come back in a month I expect to have a bun in the oven." She smirked and grabbed her suitcase leaving the Jones house...for now.
