Alice had come to realize that she would never be good enough for Hal in Evelyn Cooper's eyes. No matter how many tweed skirts and pantyhose she owned, she would always be Southside trash to the woman.
Hal's been trying especially hard to turn her into the perfect Stepford wife that his parents would approve of, as for Alice? Well she truly couldn't give a rats ass what they think of her.
"Your mother hates me, Hal, that's never going to change."
"Alice, she doesn't hate you." He sighs.
"Well then she strongly dislikes me." She smooths our the dress she's wearing and sighs as she stares into the mirror. She doesn't feel like herself. "We've been together for months now and the woman still doesn't approve of me."
"Give her time."
"Hal, I've given her time! Lots of it! I'm sick of feeling like shot every time we go to your parents. Your dad is the only one who treats me like a human being."
"Well then focus on talking to my dad." He wraps his arms around her waist and kisses her cheek. "You're absolutely perfect to me, don't listen to them, as long as I love you and you love me, I don't care what my parents think."
"I know but it would be nice for them not to hate me." She turns to him. "I mean what if we ever have kids? Are they going to hate those hypothetical grandchildren because they have my blood?"
"Alice, sweetheart, you're overthinking it."
"Am I?"
"Yes." He draws her close and kisses her forehead. "They're going to love little Elizabeth and Polly."
"You've picked out our children's names already?"
"Well I've always had them picked out, for girl's at least. Elizabeth after my great grandmother and Polly for my grandma Paulette."
"As long as we're not naming any of them after Satan's spawn." His eyebrows crinkle in confusion. "Your mother. I'm not having another Evelyn Cooper, not happening."
He chuckles and kisses her softly. "That's okay." He smiles at her. "You look beautiful by the way."
"Thanks, Hal." She pecks a kiss on his cheek. "Let's go to the dragon's den."

This was really short, I'm sorry about that. How would you feel if I kind of skipped ahead? I would be giving a description of the events that occurred during the time skip, but I just really don't think I can drag events on any longer so I feel like a time skip is almost necessary! Let me know!
