Alice waits nervously for FP to come into the visitation room. She feels like she's got a herd of butterflies in her stomach.
The door opens and FP walks in, hurrying over to her once he sees her. He wraps his arms around her tightly and she breathes him in, clinging to him. "My God, I've missed you so damn much."
"I'm sorry, I was at this place-"
"I know, my dad told me." He tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'm just happy you're here now." He presses a soft kiss to her lips and rests his forehead against hers. He drops his hand down and she cringes as his hand trails over her abdomen. "Oh my God!"
"FP-"
"You had him!" He smiles excitedly. "Is he here? Wait, obviously not. Is it because of all the germs? I'll ask for a mini hazmat suit or something if-"
She cuts him off. "FP, he's... he's not here."
"Well I know that. Is he with your parents? God I bet they just love him!"
"Honey, he's not with me at all."
His eyebrows crinkle. "I don't understand."
"Sit down." She takes a deep breath as they both sit down. "I had him a week ago."
"So he's just too little to come here?"
"No, FP, listen. I had him a week ago and he was perfect. The sisters told me that they were going to be taking him because in my file it said that I had asked for a closed adoption."
"What? You did?"
"No. Just... just listen. I told them I didn't arrange for that, come to find out it was Hal who did that."
FP scoffs. "Piece of shit."
"He was so mad when he saw Chic in my arms, he thought that he was taken away. He told me I was going to be a terrible mother, that I wouldn't be able to provide for him, that he would just become Southside scum like you and I... and I believed him."
"Please tell me you didn't do what I think you did." FP eyes fill with tears and she doesn't even need to answer for him to know the answer. "Fuck. How could you?"
She feels tears slip down her cheeks. "I'm sorry, I-"
"That's our baby, Alice, and you just let him get taken away like that? To what? Live with some fucking stranger?" She's silent, not even knowing what to say because nothing can make it any better. "I can't even believe you."
"FP, I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt you-"
"That's funny, because you did." He takes a deep breath and wipes at his eyes. "I can't be here right now."
"Baby, please don't go." She reaches for his hand but he pulls it away and storms away from the table, his chair tumbling over.
