FP didn't know what to do or what to think... he was speechless. He then heard another knock at the door
"Hunny, you've been in there for a while, are you okay?" Shouts Alice from the other side.
His heart drops to his stomach. Not knowing if this was Alice's or Betty's was scaring him, he knew he had to ask but he didn't know when.
"Yeah Al, just go down there I'll be there in a minute" he replied.
She leaves very confused. FP put on a brave face and went down stairs to eat. All throughout supper FP made sure to look out for signs. His heart was racing he just didn't know what to do!
"Ugh can you move the chicken to the other side of the table the smell is making me nauseous!" Betty says as she scrunches her nose.
Bingo, Betty's pregnant.
"I-I need a moment" Alice says as she gets up from the table and runs to the washroom.
Worriedly, FP runs behind her and opens the door to see Alice throwing up. He quickly held her hair back and rubbed her back.
Alice is pregnant?
He was so confused with these signs! He finally had to ask.
"Al, what's going on?" He said as she turned to face him.
Looking into his eyes broke her. Tears starting flowing down her cheeks as FP held her in his arms.
"Al, baby your scaring me!" He says stroking her hair
"Nothing Im just not feeling well" she replies as she buried her face in his chest.
"Alice... are you- are you pregnant?" He whispers.
She stopped breathing for a moment. How did he know? Would he be mad? She didn't know how he would take the news considering the circumstances!
"Why would you think that?" She says nervously.
"Because I found a positive test in your garbage" he replies stroking her cheek.
She sighs as she puts his hands into his.
"Jonesy, I'm pregnant!" She whispers as more tears come streaming down her face.
Alice is pregnant.
"You mean... I get to raise our child? I- you- we?" He says with a huge smile which made her smile.
"Yeah! We get to start over" she said as she kissed him softly.
He put a hand on her stomach and she put hers over his.
"I just hope you'll be here to- to-" she starts but FP interrupts her.
"Hey hey hey no no no! I'm not going anywhere! I'll get the help I need and we can raise this little bean together okay?" He said as he looked deeply into her eyes.
"Promise?" She whispered
"I promise baby" he said as he kissed her.
They embraced and he kept his hand on her stomach. He was worried he wouldn't be able to stay alive for his child. But he wasn't going down without a fight!
"Dad! The doctor is on the phone for you" Jughead shouts from the kitchen.
FP and Alice look at each other with fear in their eyes. They both get up and walk to the kitchen hand in hand. He picks up the phone.
"Hello?" He says
"FP Jones? Yes I'm calling because I have some news for you about your cancer" the doctors replied.
"Is it good or bad?" FP asked
"I really can't say... you'll have to come in to see me tomorrow if that's okay?" The doctor said
"Yes for sure tomorrow at 10?" FP responded
"Of course! Bye now" the doctor said as he hung up the phone.
"So?" Alice said squeezing his hand
"I have to go see him tomorrow" FP said in a worried tone.
Alice nodded her head as fear took over her body. She didn't want to let go of FP EVER again! She didn't know what would happen tomorrow and she was scared to find out.
