Alice swings the door open, "F-"

Not even finishing his name he lands a kiss on her. He wraps his arms around her waist and her arms rest on his stubbly jaw. The kiss, so passionate caused Alice to take a few steps back into the house with FP following. FP separates himself from her and before she can talk he starts, "Alice I'm a fool to not tell you the truth." Alice looks slightly confused as he shuts the door behind him. FP takes her hands in his, "I love you."

Backing away, Alice whispers, "Forsythe…"

He takes a step closer, "I should have listened to what you had to say. I should have heard it from you. And instead, I heard it from Betty." Alice's eyes widen as he continues, "So I'm going to give you the chance to tell me. Right now."

Alice is standing in silence looking into his eyes. FP waits for her to say something. Finally, Alice says softly, "FP, I'm…" She puts her hand to her shaking head. A single tear falls down her cheek. FP lightly wipes her tear away. Alice takes a deep breath before quietly saying, "I'm pregnant." She refuses to make eye contact because she knows if she looks into his deep brown eyes she will start to break down.

FP promptly wraps his arms around her and starts to squeeze. He lifts her off the ground and brings her to the couch where he delicately puts her there.

Throughout this Alice swats at him, "FP put me down. FP! I said put me down." FP hops on top of her and stares into her icy blue eyes. Alice had no choice but to look into his eyes as well. FP continues to look through her until Alice asks, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Still on top of her, FP grins, "You're just so beautiful." Alice notices her cheeks getting warmer as she blushes. He says softly, "If I had known, there would have been no choice to make Alice." FP switches between looking at her eyes and her lips that he so badly wanted to feel again, "Alice…"

"Forsythe…" Alice begins to smile as she pulls him in closer. Alice tilts her head upward to lightly kiss him. FP returns her kiss with more passion and lust. Alice breaks away from the kiss to help take his leather jacket off while he helps her with her silk shirt. Connecting again, FP starts attempting to unclasp her bra. Failing to do so, Alice turns over on top of him to help, "You were never very good with these."

FP grins, "Oh shut up." He pulls her in again for a continuation of their steamy kiss. FP can feel Alice unzipping his blackwashed jeans. Struggling to reach the zipper he responds, "You were never very good with this."

Alice smiles and stands up to take her silk shorts off. Bending over Alice kisses FP on his cheek, then his neck by his ear, only pausing to whisper, "I love you too." Alice straddles him and leans down to kiss him more.

That night Alice and FP forgot all the cons and negatives and only remembered the good. Alice eventually put her pajamas back on as did FP with his clothes. They made it upstairs where they took off their clothes once more. Cuddled up together they both fell asleep laying next to each other.

No alarms were set that night. They woke up to the sunlight creeping in the windows. FP was the first up. Not long after Alice's eyes fluttered open. Alice took a clear deep breath and rolled over to face FP. He planted a soft kiss on her lips, "Good morning."

Alice smiled and nudged herself closer to FP. Her skin looked radiant in the shimmering sunlight. With her head slightly tilted toward him, she smiled lightly, "I could get used to this…"

FP holds her tightly and kisses her neck where her jaw meets her ear. The two bask in the silence and sunlight. He tucks a strand of hair behind her ear as he beats around the bush, "Maybe we should talk about… you know…"

She positions herself to look at him more directly, "I think we should." No one wants to talk first. Alice's eyes start to water, "I'm scared, FP." FP's arm lands on her hip. "I'm so old and… I just… What if something happens?" Alice tries to explain how she feels.

"Nothing is going to happen, but that doesn't mean I'm not scared either. We are old," FP tries to soften the blow with his charming smirk, "And we already have children of our own, but that doesn't mean we couldn't do it again- together."

Alice looks into his big brown eyes, "What about Gladys? And Hal! What about Hal?!"

Alice rustles to get out of bed, but FP grasps her hand and squeezes trying to calm her down, "Gladys left last night."

Alice's head whips around and she blurts out, "What?"

FP admits, "When Betty called me last night to tell me that you were… you know… pregnant. I told Gladys I had to come here." Alice's eyes get bigger as he continues, "I mean I didn't tell her why, but she had enough. She said she was going to Toledo and that I could manage JB and Jug by myself."

Alice shakes her head slowly in disbelief, "FP… I'm so sorry. I-"

"Don't be sorry Alice," FP strokes her gorgeous blonde locks. Alice is waiting for him to continue, but silence creeps over them. FP then answers the second part of her question, "And what about Hal? He isn't here. Unless he is…." He looks around the room jokingly.

Alice doesn't find him amusing, "Hal might not be living here, but he is Betty and Polly's father. And! And a freaking serial killer! He would kill me. I can't just leave to have someone else's baby."

While her points were valid, FP was not having it, "Isn't that what you did to me 30 years ago?"

"FP!" Alice playfully slaps his arm. Alice knew it was true though. She relaxes into his arms, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't tell you."

She sniffles and he moves to seriously talk to her, "Alice." Alice is looking away from him. As he lightly grasps her chin and turns her head, "Alice, look at me." He wipes a tear rolling down her cheek softly. "You don't need to apologize Alice. You were put in an impossible situation then," FP pulls Alice closer and squeezes her tightly, "But this time you have me, and you have my support. No matter what you decide to do."

Letting go slightly, Alice cracks a small smile, "FP…" Alice just stares into his eyes and lets him know exactly what she is thinking without a word. She intertwines her fingers with his and leans in for a soft yet passionate kiss. She pulls back and quietly admits, "I don't know what to do."

"That's okay," FP seems to have it all together, "We- You don't have to right now." Alice shrugs and looks away from FP. He sighs, "Either way we should probably tell the kids. I mean Betty already knows…"

"I guess you're right," Alice snuggles up to him and savors the moment. They decide to invite the Jones and Cooper children to a dinner 'party' at the Cooper residence that night. All Alice can think of is, 'How did this happen again?'
