~A Week and Two Days Later~
Alice let's out a groan after she flushed the toilet. She wipes her mouth with toilet paper and sits there on the floor groaning in pain.
It had been a week since she found out she was pregnant with the frogs child and already was she getting tired with the constant pucking she did every few hours. It was getting annoying not to mention tiring.
"Alice? Dude are you in there?"
Alice looks at the door. "Yes I'm alright. What do you want Amelia?"
"I was wondering if you were feeling better to go to work but after hearing you puke like that I'm guessing your not."
Alice slowlygets up and walks to open the door. Standing at the hallway was Alice close friend/roommate Amelia Jones. Amelia was a blonde American 20 year old collage student who was going to graduate in a couple of months. Nine months to be precise.
She was a loud one but was overall a sweet girl. Annoying and a bit obnoxious, but she was still sweet.
Amelia looks at her friend in concern. "Alice?"
"Yes sorry umm..." She clears her throat. "I'm alright Amelia."
"You sure about that dude 'cause to me you sounded pretty horrible in there."
"Nonsense. You know how these morning sickness goes. They're suppose to make me sound horrible."
Amelia rose a characteristic eyebrow. "Anyways I'm going to work so if you'll excuse me I have to go freshen up and get dressed. I don't want to look improper when I go back to work."
Some time passed and when Alice was done getting ready, she and Amelia went off to work.
Amelia was driving while Alice was sitting in the passenger seat eating a piece of gum Amelia had given her.
Amelia glances at her friend a ccouple of times while she watched her eat the gum. She looks at the road and speaks.
"Are you sure you want to go to work today? I'll totally tell the boss your not well still."
Alice shakes her head. "No. I alrwady missed a week of work. I'm missing anymore. I need the money anyways."
"But what happens if you throw up in front of everyone and they know your pregnant with Francis kid?" Amelia has found out about Alice pregnancy when she was cooking burgers two days after Alice found out her pregnancy. She was cooking her burgers when Alice caught a whiff of the smell and threw up right there in the kitchen.
Alice tried to convince Amelia it wasn't what it looked like but because Alice has never threw up wen Amelia made her burgers and when Alice began to crave for pickles with ice cream, Amelia put two in two together and tada! She knew everything.
Since then, she's pretty much done everything she can to help Alice. Like for example, she's stopped eating burgers or anything that involved meat whenever Alice was in the house. Amelia would also pick up food for Alice whenever she was hungry late at night.
"Are you going to tell him?" Amelia asks. Alice looks down. "I-I don't know. We haven't talker since we had that fight and I've been avoiding him so..."
"What did you guys even fight about?" Amelia asks. Alice shakes her head. "Nothing. Just keep driving. We're already ten minutes late."
Alice never told Amelia that Francis had confessed his love to her. She didn't want to believe someone like Francis would ever fall for her. Francis, although a pervert and annoying, he was still a decent guy who does care for others and was kind. He made friends easily and everyone loved him.
Alice on the other hand was the complete opposite. What did he possibly see that made him fall in love with her?
Alice worked full time at a nice well-known Italian restaurant known as Lovinos Place. It was owned by a grouchy italian name Lovino Vergas.
Alice worked there as a waitress along with two other women, sisters whose names were Natalia and Maria. Maria was a sweet young women but was shy and could be a bit of a cry baby. She was a popular one as guys (and sometimes woman) come over would stare at her breasts.
Natalia was different than her sister. She was frightening to say the least. Very frightening. She had a unhealthy obsession with her older brother Ivan whom was equally afraid of her as was anyone else was. Alice noted to stay faraway from IvIvaso Natalia wouldn't kill her.
Working at the restaurant was Lovinos twin younger brother FelicianoVergas, a german woman named Monica, a Spanish guy named Antonio, Amelia who worked as the restaurants bartender, then there was Joan and lastly, Francis.
Alice gagged in her mouth while she picked up the left over plates and cups. Maria noticed this and walked to her. "Alice?" Alice turns around. "Are you okay?" Maria asks in concern.
Alice swallow and gives her a smile. "Sure I am."
"Are you sure?' Alice nods. "Yes I'm sure. But thank you for asking Maria." With a slight nod, Alice excuses herself and walks past Maria and heads to the kitchen.
Walking down the hall where the kitchen was, Alice slightly moans and looks down. 'Once I drop off the dishes, I'm going to run right to the restroom. I can't ignore pucking when I know I need too.'
"Alice." Alice widens her eyes when she heard that familiar voice. She looks up. Standing at the door was Francis. He was wearing the cooks uniform with his hair tied back in a purple ribbon. His eyes stared down at her in surprise.
"F-Francis..." She mumbles softly.
"I-I didn't expect you to be at work today." He tells her. Alice looks away and glares at the floor. "Yeah will...I had to come back. I couldn't stay at home forever like a hermit."
"Yes. So how are you feeling? Amelia told me you've been sick these past couple of days."
"I'm doing alright." She lied. 'Of course I'm not feeling well! I feel like shit because I haven't puked in the past hour and if I don't leave I'm probably going to puke in front of you!'
"I see. I was going to check on you after work but I wasn't sure if you wanted to see me yet." Francis tells him.
"W-Well now you have. So if you please, can you get out of my way? I need to put these dishes in the sink and head back." Before Alice could move past Francis, he stops her.
"Are you going to continue avoiding me Alice?" He asks. Alice looks at him. "What?"
"I asked if your going to continue ignoring me Alice. I've been calling you for the past few days and I have not received any of your calls."
"Francis.."
"Was it about that night? Are you still angry at me?"
"No. I'm not. I'm just dealing with some things right now that's all." She tells him. "Anyways I really need you to move Francis."
"Is it serious?" He asks concered. "Do you need me to take you home?"
"Francis I'm alright!"
Francis was about to open his mouth when he saw Alice gag. She drops the plates and slaps her hand over her mouth. She turns away and she bent down where she pukes afterwords causing Francis to look at her in confusion and concern.
Seeing her puke, Francis right away runs to her aid and comforts her while she continues to puke. When she was done, Alice moans and stays that way for a couple of minutes.
"Alice, are you okay?" Alice looks up at him. "Francis..."
He gives her a small smile and helps her stand straight. "Come, let me take you to the restroom."
Alice nods.
~in the restroom~
"Are you sure you don't want any help washing up? I'm more than happy to help."
Alice scoffs. "As if I'm going to ask a frog help. Just stay out there and shut up." Alice tells him while she washed her mouth.
She hears Francis laugh outside the women's bathroom. She smiles a little to herself. It was nice to know that Francis wasn't angry with her. It made Alice glad that despite their fight, he still talked to her and even joked with her.
'But what he's just putting on that act? I didn't even give him my answer when he confessed to me. If anything, by how I reacted that night, it would look like I downright rejected him. If I were him, I'd avoid that person as much as I can. Guess it just shows how different we both really are.'
After she finished up, Alice throws away the paper towel and walks out the restroom.
Francis smiles when he see's her. "Feeling better?" Alice nods. "Yes." For now at least.
"So what happened? What did you eat that caused you to throw up?" He playfully smirks. "Have you finally relised how disgusting your cooking is?"
Alice angerly glares at him. "Bug off you wanker! My food is delicious and you know it!" Francis laughs. Once he's done, he asks her in a serious tone, "But really what is the problem? You missed a couple days of work and you come back throwing up out of nowhere. You didn't catch anything serious have you?"
Alice shakes her head. "No I'm good it's just...I've been pretty busy lately especially since I'm throwing up a couple of hours "
"Maybe you should go to the doctor. Make sure that it isn't serious."
Alice smiles a little. "I did go to the doctor. Last Monday in fact."
"And what did the doctor tell you?"
Alice opens her mouth to respond but guickly stops herself. 'What the hell am I doing? I almost told Francis I'm pregnant! I can't tell him now. Especially here! I'm not ready yet. Besides what happens after I tell him? He'll probably freak out not to mention never speaking to me ever again. What if he starts asking me questions that I'm unable to answer? *sigh* calm down Alice. Your just overreacting again. Who knows, maybe the frog will take the news lightly and he'll be thrilled that he's going to be a father. But even if I do tell him right now, what am I supposed to say? What do women usually do when their in this kind of situation?'
Suddenly Alice feels a warm contact holding her hand. It was Francis holding it and he was giving her that earnest look. "You can tell me anything mon cher . Please tell me what is in your mind."
Alice mindlessly curses. 'Damn frog. He's giving me that look. Well...iI might as well tell him now. We are alone after all. I just hope nothing drastic happens after I tell him.' Letting out a nervous sigh, Alice looks down and begins to talk.
"Alright Francis I'm going to tell you something very important but you have to promise me you won't over react okay?" Francis nods. "Whatever you say Alice."
"Okay..."
Clearing her thoughts and deciding what to say to him, Alice clears her throat. "Francis...I'm...I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant and it's with your child "
