Alice confronts Fp about the abortion fight and apologizes for the investigation.
"Get the hell out of my house Forsythe Jones this second or so help me god I will take a brick and crash it into your very skull." Alice yelled once the kids had left for the dance. How dare he, of all people come into her home and discuss the one thing that she wanted no one to ever talk about.
"Alice, seems you never lost your touch with bricks? I remember when we were little and you broke my nose with the brick that you slept with every single day. Not so high and mighty now hmm Alice? Did little miss perfect finally go back to her mean ways and throw a brick in her husband's window?" FP yelled back at her standing up from his seat, not at all caring if he had knocked over the wine glass.
"That's it!" She yelled and practically lunged for him over the table, her knees getting deep into the peach pie that had been carefully made the previously day. She slammed her hand into his jaw and he pinned her, ignoring her scratching against his face.
"Do you honest to god think that you could hurt me Alice? I kicked your ass so much when we were kids that it wasn't funny anymore." He stated before he felt a swift kick in the gut and he groaned clutching his stomach in pain.
"God damn it Alice, you're really asking for it." He yelled and punched her in the nose which caused her to fall back and stare at him.
"What the actual hell-"She gasped holding onto her nose, blood oozing onto her hand. FP stared back at her, his eye already swelling.
Alice sulked down to the kitchen and reached for a bag of peas and held them to her face, sinking down against the fridge.
"I'm sorry that I brought up the fight Alice." He said softly and stood next to her holding the frozen corn to his eye.
"The whole thing was not your story to tell FP." She explained looking up at him, the blood now drying against her cheek.
"And it wasn't your job to go looking around to see if I killed that Blossom boy or not." He shot back and ran a hand in his hair.
"You know that I need to do what I need to do to keep the kids safe, I lost Polly already and I refuse to lose Elizabeth as well. This killer that is out there, killing our children that we thought were once safe is driving me crazy. Riverdale isn't the safe place that we knew and loved. I don't feel comfortable sending Betty out alone at night because I worry that she won't came back and Sheriff Keller will come back and tell me that the next kid in the body bag is her." She admitted sadly and FP gathered her in his arms kissing her head.
"Allie, you should know that I would never hurt one of your kids. I would never hurt Jughead or Archie or Cheryl." He whispered holding her tightly.
"When you brought up that night, I felt like I was there all over again. I could already hear the music." Her face grew dark.
"It was my baby, wasn't it?" He whispered knowing that for a fact, she and Hal had just started to see each other a little over a month that period of time.
"If you want a DNA test, it's a little too late FP." She snapped back before nodding her face streaking with tears.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you tell Hal that night that you were pregnant with his baby?"
"… you don't know the whole story FP and it is better than you keep the past the past." She hissed at him.
"Alice Ann Marie Speller, tell me right now what happened that night at the homecoming dance or I will head over to the dance right now and tell the kids my version of the story." He threatened and she slunk away.
"I found out I was pregnant after you dumped me for Mary. Do you know how much it hurt? To see those two lines on that cheap piece of plastic on my sink? To know that you would never want me or the baby because we didn't have money and Mary did?" She whispered anger in her voice.
"I would have married you if you would have told me Alice."
"And leave Mary? No. Anyway, I slept with Hal that night knowing I would have to cover it up. I thought maybe he would be ok with it. That night he found the pregnancy test in my bathroom and lost it. He told me he knew for a fact that it wasn't his and that I was a whore. He slapped me and told me I needed an abortion ASAP. After we were crowned he took me to the clinic on the south side and well… there was no baby after that. "She whispered and FP held her tighter, burying his face in her hair.
"Allie... Alice, I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you." He whispered kissing her hair.
"I'm sorry that I sent Veronica and Archie to your home to search for evidence..."
"You did what?" He asked his eyebrow raising.
"Nothing... I thought that we were saying that we were sorry" She whispered smiling a tiny bit.
