FP's POV
It's been three years since Gladys died...three whole years. Jughead and Jellybean have adjusted to it now. Well Jug mostly. She died durning Jelly's birth.
"Are you ready for preschool little bean?" I smiled and picked the toddler out of her crib. She nodded with a smile, stretching out for me to pick her up.
"You get to meet your new teacher, Mrs.Smith." I kept her distracted while I combed her hair. "New?" She questioned looking at me through the mirror.
I nodded finishing getting her ready. "Jug you ready to go buddy?" I yelled packing the kids lunches. "Ready dad." He smiled adjusting his beanie. "It's like 90 degrees outside. Aren't you going to be hot?
"I'll be fine dad." He chuckled and went out to the car. "Your brother is going to have a heat stroke." I sighed and Jelly giggled.
Getting the kids to school was the easiest part of my day. Then I head to the construction site...which really isn't that bad since my best friend is the co owner with me.
"Fredo!" I yelled walking into our trailer. "FP." He nodded with a chuckle. "Where's JB?" Hermione raised her eyebrow at me. Hermione is Fred's wife and a friend from high school.
"She started preschool today. My babies are growing up." I fake cried and the other adults chuckled.
PRESCHOOL
"You play?" Jelly questioned holding up the barbies to her new teacher. "Alright I can play with you for awhile." She smiled and sat next to the little girl. "What's your name?" She questioned fixing the girls hair. "Jelly." She grinned and went on with playing.
"Well, Jelly I think you have a pretty name...just like you." She tapped her nose and Jelly giggled. The two laughed and played until the bell ring which meant Jelly had to go home.
"Are you excited to see your mommy?" She asked. Jelly's smiled turned into a frown at the mention of her mom. She shook her head and hid her tears. "I have no mommy." She sniffled.
"I'm so sorry. Come here." Mrs Smith quickly brought her into a hug. she rocked the little girl back and forth until her father came.
"I believe she belongs to you?" She chuckled softly still holding the sleeping child. "I'm sorry I'm a little late. Is she asleep? I asked confused. JB never takes naps.
"Yes. I accidentally made the mistake of asking about her mom. I just held her until she fell asleep." She sighed and brushed the girls hair back.
"Her mom died during child birth." I sighed.
"I'm so sorry. I'm Alice by the way." She smiled trying to lighten the mood. "FP." I reached a hand out, but then noticed Alice had her hands quite full.
"I can take her..."
"No it's ok. I'll walk her to you car." She smiled and the two walked out. "I'm really sorry. I had no clue."
"You couldn't have. Thanks for carrying her." I chuckled and buckled in the sleeping kid.
"It's no problem. She's adorable, we played all day long." Alice smiled and extended her hand. "I'll see you tomorrow." She smiled and shook my hand before walking away.
"Jellybelly...we're home baby girl." I whispered and picked her up. "Daddy?" She sleepily lifted her head up. "It's me baby girl." I kissed her head and she fully sat up.
"How was your day?" I asked hoping she didn't bring up Gladys. "Miss Allie is fun." She chuckled and shimmied her way out of my arms.
"You like her?"
"Love her." She grinned and accepted the snack. "Well guess what?"
"What?!"
"You get to see her tomorrow." I gasped and JB laughed. "Yay!"
PRESCHOOL
"Miss Allie!" JB yelled running into the school yard. "Jelly." She smiled and picked the girl up. "Good morning."
"Good morning." I smiled and handed JB her lunch. "Bye daddy." Jelly waved and ran into the school.
"Bye?" I laughed watching JB toddle away. "I'll see you the same time as yesterday?" Alice asked turning back to me. "Yes, see you then." I smiled. God she is beautiful. Her blonde hair, great body, the most gorgeous blue eyes I have ever seen.
"Miss Allie?" JB walked up to the woman. "Yes Jelly?" She bent down towards the girl. "Do you like daddy?" She gazed up at Alice with her big brown eyes. "I um...he's...he is very nice." She chuckled.
"Will you have dinner tonight...with me?" Jelly pleaded. "How about we ask your daddy when he comes to get you." Alice winked and JB nodded satisfied with her answer for now.
"Daddy! Allie coming to dinner!" Jelly yelled to me. "She is? I think we will have Pops then." FP chuckled picking up the girl.
"Come on Allie." JB groaned watching Alice walk at a normal pace. "I'm coming." She chuckled.
"Your daughter invited me over for..."
"About six-ish, at Pops, if that's ok with you." I shrugged.
"Six is...great. See you then." She smiled going home to get ready. "Jellybelly what did you just do?" I smirked trying to see what she was getting at. She just smiled and walked herself to the car.
"Daddy come...Allie's here!" JB pointed and waved out the window like a maniac. "I see her." I chuckled at her excitement.
"Hello everyone." She smiled and sat next to Jelly. "Hi Miss Allie." JB smiled and kissed her cheek. "FP."
"Alice." I nodded. "Why don't you sit by daddy?" JB turned to Alice.
"I...I don't know?" Alice shrugged and Jelly shooed her into my booth. "That wasn't very nice." I frowned. "You wants to sit with her." JB smirked.
"Is that true?" Alice smirked at me. "Who wouldn't want to sit next to a gorgeous woman." I challenged. "It's ok. I wanted to sit next to your handsome father too." Alice winked at JB and she giggled.
"I'll be back." JB hopped to the jukebox to help Pop choose a song. "I'm sorry. I didn't know this was her intention." I chuckled scratching the back of my neck.
"Well I was going to sit lonely all night anyway, so might as well entertain the child." She sighed. "All alone? What about your husband?" I asked curious as to why this woman wasn't strapped down.
"Cheating son of a bitch." She frowned. "Excuse my French." She chuckled. "I thought it was hot." I shrugged and she slapped my arm.
"How about this weekend you take me to the whyt wrym...and we can have a real date." Alice shrugged and looked over at Jelly. "I think that's a plan." I smiled.
"Good. Now let's give JB a show." I was confused at first until she pecked my lips. I could hear JB's gasp from across the room.
"I have a mommy!" She yelled running to wrap her arms around us. Alice and I looked at each other with wide eyes before busting our with laughter.
