“I’m not sure if I meant Betty.” Fp shook his head, a hand running down it from top to bottom. “I meant to tell you this earlier, but you got caught up in the whole ‘Trick or Treat’ with the kids.” Pausing ever so gently to study Alices face, he proceeded on. “I pulled your sister into my squad car this afternoon, before someone else had the chance to. Fighting in the abandoned building off Main Street. I gave her a warning and set her free, it’s hard for me to even stop her.” Towing the line between king and Law enforcement was becoming increasing difficult.

Of course, her sister would do something like that. She was upset by it, but she also knew that she came by it naturally. It’s how her mother was and it was how she was. She was ruthless when she was her age as well. She took a minute to process it, running a hand through her hair. “Of course. Who with now?” Oh, she was going to hear from Alice once the night was over. 

[serpentistheking]

“Just a few Serpents.” FP knew how hard Alice tried to mother everyone, her care and concern was what held the family together. “She was raised on the street, you can’t teach an old snake new tricks.” Determined. That’s what FP was, he knew the best way to show Alice how much he cared was to make sure he could keep tabs on the things she couldn’t. “I’m watching her Al. Real close. The truth is, she has you down to a T. Remember how we used to spend Halloween?”

A sigh of relief fell over the king as he closed the front door, watching the trick or treaters run off the porch. Kingly duties aside, he had chosen a quaint night in with Alice versus a party at the Wyrm. A choice he would make repeatedly if given the option. “A quiet night in on Halloween? I never thought I’d see the day when Acid queen Alice wasn’t running the streets at all hours. Instead” He shakes a bowl of Twix bars, the candy shuffling in the bowl. “Handing out candy in an orange sweater” Undoubtedly he loved her no matter what, and the smile that spread across his face said the same. “I guess you’ve handed that torch over!”

She had changed in a lot of aspects, one being leaving her ruthless and more rebellious ways for the most part behind her. Now, she was focussing on new titles like Grandma and mother. She only hoped she did a good enough job with Betty that she didn’t make the same mistakes she did. “I guess some things needed to stay in the past.” She curled up on the couch, placing a pillow in her lap. “I don’t know about handing the torch over. I hope Betty learns from my past.”

It was official they finally had the house to themselves since Jelly Bean decided to go trick or treating with her friends. “So, finally have the house to ourselves.” She set the bowl of treats down on the table before taking her place next to him. It felt nice that the two finally lived together after all the years. They weren’t just playing house anymore, no, they were living it.

The Smith’s had a long history with the gang and he knew as well as anybody else that one day Ruby would wear a jacket as well. But what he was also keenly aware of the care that Alice took to protect the small loud blonde. “Im going to be King Al, does that mean you’ll be Queen?” A half chuckle escaped his mouth as he went to grab the lighter and the half empty pack of cigarettes that was on the counter. 

Alice knew that there was no way around her not going tonight because it was important that she and FP both be there tonight. It was the beginning of a new era for the serpents, and they did look to the couple as king and queen. “You really make it hard to say no. “ She turned to her younger sister and put on her most stern face. “You have to behave and listen to me, okay? No wandering away from me. Can you do that?”

[shewasrubyred]

Ruby nodded. Jumping off the chair she ran into the bedroom and grabbed her boots. She had on denim overalls and a grey long sleeve T shirt. Running out of the bedroom towards Alice she wrapped her arms around her waist. “You are my favorite person in the whole wide world. I promise I won’t tell mom”

[serpentistheking]

The two were clones, one slightly smaller and more unkept. But there was no denying who they belonged to. Most of the world got to see the rough, tough Alice Smith, but he was certain nobody would believe the pull a 6 year old had on her. “Well lets go, party’ll be over by the time the two of you are ready.” Pulling Ruby away from Alice, he scooped her up under one arm and carried her out the door.

[guiltedheart-deactivated2019112]

And their sitting at the table was the issue. Small, blonde and growing up to be equally as tough as her predecessor. “Bring her with.” FP smirked. 

“Bring her with? Do we know who is going to be there tonight?” Alice sheltered Ruby from as much as she possibly could, but she knew she’d find out about their mom eventually. 

[shewasrubyred]

Ruby knew from the time Alice walked out of their bedroom that she had plans for the night and of course she was hoping for a visit from Fp. Dropping her fork on the table the second he walked in she stood up on her chair. “Yes Alice please! See! I’m big enough” The blonde pushed some hair out of her face. “Fp is gonna be king Alice and he said I can go!”

[serpentistheking]

But what he was also keenly aware of the care that Alice took to protect the small loud blonde. “Im going to be King Al, does that mean you'll be Queen?” A half chuckle escaped his mouth as he went to grab the lighter and the half empty pack of cigarettes that was on the counter.

The blonde who opened the door was the girl of his dreams. Tough as nails and head strong in the best possible way. Not to mention she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. “Oh yeah? Couldn’t find something to wear? You always end up looking fine.” He spit a broken piece of a toothpick on the ground outside before looking up.

Alice rolled her eyes, shaking her head full of curls. “No, mom went out for the night and I’m stuck babysitting. She’s finishing up dinner now, but yeah.” She sighs, turning to step out of his way so he could come in the trailer 

[serpentistheking]

And their sitting at the table was the issue. Small, blonde and growing up to be equally as tough as her predecessor. “Bring her with.” FP smirked. 

[serpentistheking]

Cold frozen ground crunched under FP’s leather boots as he approached the Smith residence. Under normal circumstances the serpent tried his best to stay away, in hopes of not catching Mrs. Smith coming or going. FP was there to pick up Alice as a few new members were being welcomed at the Wyrm that evening. “AL!” FP struck the door hard with two firm knocks.

[guiltedheart-deactivated2019112]

Alice any other day would be excited about going out with FP, but unfortunately, she had been stuck babysitting without much notice. She loved her sister of course, but she knew the younger blonde would ask a thousand and one questions about things. Opening up the door she sighed. “We have a minor issue.”

FP smirked softly at her, thinking about what he would say next. “I think we should have a little stay at home vacation. Just the two of us. No kids, no club, no baby sisters. Just us for a couple of days. At least over night. what do you think? I’ll keep everyone distracted.” 

Alice liked the idea of being alone with just him for a while. She knew that everyone was grown and could take care of themselves for at least a night. “I’d love that. I’d say we turn off our phones, but that gives me anxiety. I wouldn’t want the girls to have a problem and not be able to reach me.”

[serpentistheking]

“Im glad you agree. I had already sent everyone off on tasks that will keep them busy for a while.” FP had been wanting to spend some alone time with Alice, but with the chaos that constantly consumed their lives he knew he would need to take matters into his own hands. “I sent Ruby and Roxy in one direction and Jug and Betty in another. All accompanied by protection, so you don't need to worry.”

 There was no denying how much Ruby reminded FP of Alice. Nearly every time she sits at the bar he has to do a double take. “Betty yelled at her, like she used to yell at you. Rubs was so frustrated.” FP pushed some hair out of Alices face. “You Smith girls are something else. Thats why you two need each other like you do.” 

She loved how well FP knew them both and knew the way her daughters now were. It was comforting to know that they stayed closed despite the things that threatened to pull them apart. “She’s just as spunky as I am. They both are it seems.” She smirks. “I’m glad though.”

“Im sure neither one of them told you but they had words in here the other night. Betty telling Ruby she was being too controlling. Ruby threw a shot glass at the wall and Roxy dragged her out” FP laughed and shook his head. “You have nothing to worry about with Betty.”

Alice just ran a hand through her hair and sighed. “Yeah, that’s not surprising. I’m sure that Roxy had a very long night trying to calm Ruby down.” she knew Betty was completely different than she was, luckily both kids seemed to be. “Sometimes she reminds me so much of myself that it’s crazy.”

“I don’t know Al” FP loved to get her going when he could. “Last Tuesday I thought I was going to have to carry her out of here. We’re going to have to have a little friendly competition I think” The male laughed squeezing her hand in his. “But what I will tell you is this. She doesn’t let Betty near a damn thing. She nearly knocked a beer out of her hand the last time she was in here.”

Alice knew what he was doing and she always fell victim to it. She hated to not have the last word on things, especially sibling rivalry things. “Yeah, yeah. I’m sure she can’t hold a candle to me.” She insisted, pushing a strand of hair away from her face. “Good. I don’t want Betty to be as comfortable around liquor as I was at that age. It got me into a lot of trouble.”

[serpentistheking]

“Alice, come on. Have I ever bullshitted you?” She was everything he had ever dreamed of, but his tough leader exterior showed that side exclusively to her. “And since when have you ever turned down a drink especially tequila? You can out drink anybody!” Pausing he smirked at her. “Except your sister. I think she has you licked.” 

Alice rolled her eyes, knowing that he wasn’t bullshitting her but he didn’t want to admit it. “Yeah, well still.” She almost couldn’t believe that he was saying that Ruby could outdrink her. “Oh, never. I have way more years on her.” she just didn’t drink as much as she once did. 

[serpentistheking]

Rubbing the top of Alices hand with his thumb it was like as if they were the only two people in the bar. “You know Al, I don’t know how you do it. You just seem to get more gorgeous every year. you’ve got this whole place staring at you” Proud. That was an understatement. He had Alice smith and in his mind there wasn’t anything he wanted more. “They’re all thinking about how the queen of the serpents is the most gorgeous woman in the entire town.” 

Alice wasn’t one to deny that she was attractive, but she never thought she was as beautiful as he made her out to be. She would believe the other serpents were talking about her, but not exactly in the way he led on. “Mm, I think you’re just trying to butter me up. Maybe it’s time we put the tequila back on the shelf.” She teased.

Watching Alices delicate features, FP poured into both of their glasses again as he intently listened to her speak. “You did a good job Alice. You never give yourself enough credit.” Shaking his head as he ran a hand through his hair and then straightened his leather jacket. “You were just a kid when you had to step up. More than once.” Referring heavily to the fact that Alice raised Ruby while their own Mother could not. Coupled with the fact that he also knew deep down that not only was Alice worrying about a very young Ruby, but that at the same time she was also carrying his child. “You are a Hell of a good mother.” 

There were times that Alice thought about their son and what it would’ve been like if she didn’t give him up early on. “I guess I never give myself time to stop and reflect on it all. I did what I had to do.” It still stung to talk about her pregnancy and having to go away to give birth before returning like it never happened. “Thank you.” She reaches over to interlace their fingers to hold his hand. “I appreciate it.”

“The last thing your sister is scared of is getting hurt. She understands what needs to get done.” A strong hand grabbing a foggy glassed tequila bottle off of one of the high shelves places it down on the bar top. Taking three steps to the right, his boots making a noticeable sound against the floor as he glanced around to take notice of who was in the bar. Picking up two shot glasses, one for the blonde and one for himself. He over poured  into both glasses nudging one towards her. Alice was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, just staring at her over the bar made him feel like his heart was going to jump out of his chest. “You raised a strong girl Alice.” Tossing his shot down, he smirked. “And I can say the same about Betty.”

Alice knew that Ruby could hold her own and she admired that strength. She just worried that she would rush into something and get hurt. Of course, she couldn’t stop her though. As she took a seat on the barstool she rested her head on her hand for a moment, just admiring the man that stood before her. He had aged well and even after all these years he still took her breath away. She took the shot, tapping it against the bartop when she was done. “I just did the best I could. Thanks.” She wasn’t used to praise, but she was trying to get better at accepting compliments.

Protective; if there was a single world to describe Alice, that was the very one. In every fiber of her being, FP knew that the protectiveness oozed out of her. No matter how many times he told her not to panic, she does. “Jug and Betty are helping me out with a few things pertaining to the ghoulies. Nothing Major, Ruby is making sure nothing gets out of hand. She will step in if she needs to.” A strong hand squeezed Alice’s reassuringly, FP took a long deep breath. “Ruby reminds me of someone I know well. And what I know is that she has everything under control. Including Betty and Jug.”

It was hard for Alice to accept that both Ruby and Betty were growing up and going to make their own mistakes. She couldn’t micromanage their lives, and she had, for the most part, stopped trying to. That didn’t stop her from worrying though, especially when it came to Serpent matters. “It just scares me. I don’t want them to get into trouble. The ghoulies have upped their game in recent years and the last thing I want is to see them hurt.”
