Back To You

4

FP wanted to push Charles stroller so he got up and once Alice had him buckled in he started to push the stroller with one hand and hold Alices with the other.

"FP?"

"Yeah babe?"

"Do you think we should take things slow? Are you sure you want us to move in with you?"

"If you want to take things slow we can, and yes I want to see my son everyday, I've missed out on 6 months with him."

"I'm sorry, it's not that I want to take things slow it's just that with everything that's happened maybe it's best, but we'll just see how things play out, because I feel like right now if we were at the trailer I'd jump you because you look so good." She said blushing.

"Yeah?" He said with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah." She said blushing still.

"Well what do you say we go back to the trailer and get it on?"

"Nuh uh you promised me breakfast first of all and second of all Charles has nothing at your place, he actually doesn't even have a proper crib, he's been sleeping in a fold up play pen thing because I've been trying to save as much as I can for a place, but I guess since I don't need money for a place anymore I can buy him a crib and a proper changing table, he's growing out of his clothes so fast he's almost in 6-9 month clothes and he isn't even 6 months yet." She said smiling at Charles who was shaking his toy around smiling at his parents.

"Al, you've been looking after him paying for everything this whole time let me, at least help with what I can okay? Please?" He questioned with pleading eyes.

"Fine, so what's the plan here FP?" She asked just as they were arriving at Pops. They grabbed a table and didn't look at the menus because they were just going to get their usuals.

"Well, I don't actually start working with Fred's dad until Charles is almost 8 months, I wanted to start right away but he told me he wants me to spend time with Charles a bit first, which is fine because I have some money from the Army still, enough to support us for a while, but I was thinking once I go to work I want you to stop working here, look after Charles, you've been working so hard for him the past 6 months now it's my turn. Do you have enough money saved that you think you could quit now?" He questioned.

Pop came to take their orders and left to go make them.

"Yeah I have a decent amount of money. Are you sure you want me to quit?"

"Yeah, why not give pop your notice right now when he comes back?"

"I guess..."

Charles started getting fussy so Alice took him out of his stroller and put him on her lap and started bouncing him to make him laugh.

Pop came with their food a little later.

"Pop?"

"Yes Alice?"

"Uh well, I'm going to be moving out of the Andrews house and in with FP to raise Charles, and FP wants me to quit my job so I can stay with Charles while he works, so I'm going to have to quit. I'm sorry Pop."

"Alice don't worry that is great! I'm happy for you!"

"Thanks." She said smiling.

FP started to eat his food but Alice couldn't because when she tried to put Charles down he would fuss.

FP went to grab him from Alice so she could eat.

"FP don't worry, eat your food and when you're done I'll hand him to you and I'll eat, we're going to have to go soon because he will need to eat again. When do you want us to move in?"

"Today?"

"Where's your old man? Not around?"

"No idea haven't seen him since before deployment, doesn't matter I have my own trailer I invested in when I came back."

"Really?" She asked.

"Yeah, was hoping we could be together and that you'd wanna live with me..." He said nervously.

"You know I love you right?"

"Yeah Al, I love you too, and I'm so sorry about everything."

He finished his food so he took Charles from Alice so she could quickly eat.

She shrugged. "Not a big deal, anyways do you want to go shopping for Charles stuff today?"

"Sure." He smiled.

"Well you can go home and get your truck and come by Fred's and help me pack while Charles naps? Then we can go drop our stuff off at your trailer and then go buy his stuff?"

"Sounds good babe."

They left and went their seperate ways, FP went to the Southside to get his truck and Alice walked with Charles to Fred's.

She got in the door and saw Fred sitting on the stairs.

"Fred?"

"Hey, how'd it go?"

"Good, we're moving into FPS place, like today." She smiled.

"Really?" Fred questioned.

"Yeah, Charles deserves a dad in his life, I never had one, FP had a shit one."

"That's great, what are you going to do about a sitter for Charles?"

"FP told me to quit my job."

"Did you want to?"

"No but he said I need to stay home with Charles so he can provide since I was doing it for so long before."

"You should tell him you didn't want to quit."

"No, no it doesn't matter, I can't take away his happiness again."

Fred just nodded and went into the kitchen.

Alice heard FPS truck pull up so she opened the door to greet him.

"Hi baby." He said and gave her a kiss.

"Hi to you, come on Charles needs to eat and be changed and put down for a nap, then maybe you and I can have some fun before we start packing?" She said and smirked at him.

"I'd never say no to that! Let's go."

"You're lucky my parents aren't home and that I'm going to meet Hermione you animals! Don't make another baby!"

"Shut up Fred!"
