Upon receiving a call that Alice woke up, her mother, the twins and Peter headed straight to the hospital. When they arrived, they walked to her room.

Alice wouldn't say she was surprised when her mother barged into the room and scolded her. Actually, scolding wasn't the right word to use. It was more liking her mother had a casket. She was yelling at her angrily. It was so bad the doctor had to give her a warning that if she didn't calm down, she will escorted out by security. Not wanting that, Mrs. Kirkland calmed down. Although, she was still angry at her daughter.

"Honestly Alice, what on earth were you thinking about, running off into the rain like a lunatic. Your pregnant for gods sake! You can't go out in a storm alone!" Mrs. Kirkland says once the doctor left.

"I don't want to talk about this." Alice tells her mother, refusing to look at her mother.

Mrs. Kirkland scoffs in disbelief. "You don't want to talk about this? You don't want to talk about this?" she repeated angrily. "Alice Rose Kirkland, do you have any idea how scared we all were? We had no idea where you run off to nor did we know why, but if you think I'm going to stand here and have my daughter tell me she doesn't want to talk about this even though my grandchild could have been hurt, then you have another thing coming young lady."

Alice does not respond.

Mrs. Kirkland sighs. She looks at her children and tells them, "You best wait at the waiting room. I want to talk to your sister alone."

No one argued. They knew better then to disobey their mother when she's this angry. So, less then a second later, everyone left the room with Dylan closing the door.

Alice was left alone with her mother and honesty she wished she had left. She didn't want to deal with her family right now, especially her mother. She wanted to be alone and figure out what to do with her child now that Francis will be out of the picture. She hasn't him her decision yet but eventually she was going to have to tell him anyways.

"So," her mother spoke. "Are you going to explain to me what happened or will I have to ask Francis to come here because I have a feeling it has to do with him." her mother warns him.

Dammit. There was no denying Alice didn't want to see Francis now. She was still angry with him and he was probably frustrated with her. It wouldn't be good if either of them faced each other right now. So, avoiding Francis coming here, Alice faces her mother.

"Well, I'm waiting."

Alice sighs. "Yes. This does have to do something with Francis." Alice admits.

Mrs. Kirkland scoffs. "Figures. Nowadays something has to do with Francis."

Alice glares at her mothers tone. "What the hell does that mean?" she asks.

"Nothing bad Alice. I just mean with your current situation, you always seem to be blaming Francis for everything or getting mad at him for no reason."

"I'm not mad at him mother, I'm just confused about everything and I just want to think about some things regarding the baby." Alice tells her.

Mrs. Kirkland crosses her arms, curious. "Like what?"

Alice looks down.

"Alice, what are you going to do with the baby?" Mrs. Kirkland asks.

Alice bites her lower lip and plays with the fabric of the blanket. "I'm...'I'm thinking about giving the baby away to another family." she admits slowly.

Alice glances to her mother but wished she didn't afterwards. Mrs. Kirkland looked hurt and shocked by the news.

"What?" she whispers.

Alice licks her lips. "Mum, I can't...I can't deal with Francis. I can't handle having the responsibility of being a mother. Everything that is going on, everything that has happened, I-I can't deal with it anymore. I can't handle the pressure." her voice shock and her eyes burned. Her hands trembled and her heart like it was going to burst.

She didn't mean for this to happen. She didn't plan for this. She didn't plan on getting pregnant with the frogs child, she didn't plan to be a mother, she didn't even plan to fall in love with Francis. But then again, if she had never made that stupid proposition with Francis in the first place, none of this would have never happened.

She would still be working. She wouldn't have to deal with the food cravings. She wouldn't have to deal with everyone worrying about her. She wouldn't even to deal with these conflicting emotions about Francis.

Goddamn it. Goddamn it all! Why did she have to be a goddamn fool?

Alice was snapped out her thoughts when she felt a warm embrace. She blinks in surprise when her mother hugged her.

"Alice." her mother spoke. "You are going to make a big mistake if you give up that child." Mrs. Kirkland faces her but still had her arms around her. "Your scared. I get that. But whatever you and Francis are going through, you two will overcome it because your both smart. You'll work out whatever is troubling you two." she then grabs her daughters hands and tightens her grip.

"But please Alice. Think about your decision because if you are really serious about giving up your child, you will only regret it."

Alice looks down. "I don't know mum."

Mrs. Kirkland places her hand on her check. She has her face her. "Of course you know. Your a smart girl Alice."

Two hours passed and Alices family decided to leave. Before leaving, the doctor told Mrs. Kirkland that Alice will be discharged from the hospital in two weeks. Upon receiving the news, Mrs. Kirkland thanks him.

When they said their goodbyes, Allistor tells Alice that Francis was staying the night at the hospital again. Alice was shocked to be honest. She thought Francis was still mad at her. But then she remembered this was Francis she was thinking about. He was a pretty forgiving man.

Although if he did forgive her, Alice knew she didn't deserve it.

With everyone gone, Alice was left alone in her room. She watched a bit of TV for a couple of minutes before she hears a knock. She turns off the TV and looks at the door. It was Francis.

He was holding a bouquet of red roses and some balloons under his arm while he held on to a white fluffy bear that wore a red ribbon on its left ear. He sheepishly smiles. Alice almost laughs. "Whats all this?" she asks him.

"An apology gift." he tells her. He walks to the side of her bed and sets the flowers and balloons down by the drawer while he handed her the bear. Alice blushes a bit. "I should be the one apologizing." she tells him.

"I was a total ass to you and you did nothing wrong."

Francis shrugs. "That's to bad then. I can't have my money back."

She shakes her head. "No, these are lovely. Really. The flowers are beautiful and the bear is cute. I'll probably give it to the baby." after much thinking, Alice decided to keep the baby. She realised she was overreacting a bit and that when she thought of the idea, it was nothing but the stress getting to her.

She wasn't going to tell Francis though. She didn't need him to worry or get angry. She already had enough for today.

Francis nods. He takes a seat by the window and scoots it closer to the bed. He was about to grab her hand but stopped himself. Alice noticed his hesitation so she grabbed his hand instead. Francis looks at her with surprise.

Alice was blushing and Francis had to stop himself from laughing. She was adorable when she was flustered.

"I'm sorry Francis. Really, I am. I'm sorry I worried you and my family and I'm so so sorry for putting our child in danger. I was just angry and with what you told me I-" he silenced her by placing a finger on her lips.

Francis smiles. "Its okay mon cher. I forgive you."

Alice pulls her head away from his finger. "How can you forgive me? I've been nothing but horrible to you."

"Alice, you've always been horrible to me. Since the moment we met you hated me but that doesn't change the fact that I still forgive you." he pecks her cheek and lovingly traces his hand on her cheek where he kissed it.

"I love you Alice and I will always love you."

Alice sighs in disbelief. "But why? Why love me when you could have any women in the world? Why choose me?" she asks.

"Because you are the fire that ignites my life mon cher. You are the very reason I go to work everyday and why I wake up every morning. You are the light in my life and also the mother of my child. I love you Alice and I love you only."

Alice rolls her eyes when he finishes. "You were always a sappy romantic."

"Only for you." he says.

Alice laughs and Francis smile widens. He loves her laugh. Yet, he loves everything about her. To her mannerisms to her spirit, Alice truly is fire.

When Alice stops laughing, she asks in a serious tone, "Francis, I have a important request to ask you."

"Ask away."

Alice sighs out nervously. "When I get out of the hospital, I want to see Matthew."

AN: I always finish chapters for this chapter in one day. I have no idea why.

So this was pretty angsty. I mean, to me it felt like it, but then again, this whole fic is probably angsty.

So I have some news to tell you guys. As of today, this fic be close to ending. Yes that is right, this story will be coming to an end. Its pretty exciting for me because this will be the first fic where I haven't left it untouched for a year or two so I'm excited but kinda sad at the same time. We only have a few chapters left but it will definitely be under twenty. Thats great because everything is going as I planned it to be and everything is going at the right pace.

So please review your thoughts, fav and/or follow and until next time.

Bye!
