Somebody pick up my pieces

6

The day had gone by surprisingly quickly. It was quieter than usual, FP's illness truly taking a toll on the family.

They had decided to have a movie night, just the six of them. JB and Charles were sitting next to each other, sharing a bowl of popcorn, while FP and Alice laid cuddled together, FP placing soft kisses to her head every one in awhile.

Jughead however was anxiously bouncing his leg up and down, barely even paying attention to the movie, let alone the blonde beside him who put a hand on his leg to calm him. He smiled gratefully at his girlfriend and intertwined their fingers.

A doorbell soon interrupted their night, everyone except for the two teenagers sending confused looks, wondering as to who could he at the door at this hour.

"I'll get it!" Jughead practically jumps from his seat.

"No, I want to! It's probably Archie!" Jellybean squeals, running over to the door.

All their heads turn to the door, Jughead and Jellybean opening it ever so slowly.

"Hello hello!" Amelia greets them joyfully.

"Aunt Amelia!" Jellybean excitedly embraces her aunt.

"Amelia?" FP stands up, knocking Alice off of him who sends him a glare. "What are you doing here?" He chuckles, wrapping his arms around his sister.

"Well when Jughead called me and told me to come visit, I just thought I must have to!" She laughs.

Alice walks over with a forced smile to greet FP's sister, who hated her guts. She still to this day wasn't entirely sure why, but she wasn't going to let that stop her from being friendly.

"Hi, Amelia."

"Oh, Alice! Look at you, why didn't you tell me I was getting another niece or nephew?" She grinned.

Alice's eyebrows furrow and her jaw drops. "I am not pregnant." She laughs it off.

"Oh, well then, you still look great." Amelia shrugs, moving on to greet Jughead.

Alice sighed deeply, looking down at her midsection suddenly feeling a wave of insecurities take over her. She registered FP's hand rubbing her lower back for comfort, and she sent him a grateful smile.

"I am so happy to see you guys." Amelia beams.

"Yeah, it's a surprise!" FP admits.

"You must be so tired, I set up the guest room for you, want me to take you there?" Jughead rambled.

"Well, don't mind if I do." She grabbed her luggage and followed Jughead up the stairs.

"Your son invited your sister to stay in our home?" She whispers violently.

"Honey, I had no idea, I promise you." He takes her hands into his, watching her roll her eyes.

"Well why did he invite her?" She asks him.

"I don't-" he pauses, and turns to look at the person who would know. "Betty, why did Jug invite Amelia over?"

The blonde bites her lip. "He wanted to see if maybe Amelia would- could- maybe donate her..."

"Damn it Jughead." FP slid his hand down his face in irritation, just as Jughead came bounding down the stairs.

"Boy, you had no right to invite her without our permission!" He scolds his son.

"But dad, she could be a match." He explains his reasonings.

"I am not asking her to do that!"
