Best Friends or More?

Part 12

~A week later~

Betty was 16 weeks pregnant so they had to go for their four month ultrasound.

They were both so excited because now they could find out the gender and start to buy a bunch of things for their baby.

But of course Auntie Veronica was most excited because all she wanted to do was spoil this child to death.

Little did she know they weren't telling anyone the gender. (Tea)

It was 9:50 in the morning and Betty and Jughead were on the way to the doctors office for their appointment.

Betty began to get nervous like she did every single appointment but Jughead would always reassure her and make her feel better.

As soon as they got to the doctors office they were immediately taken to a room and got set up for the ultrasound.

After a minute their doctor came in.

Doctor- Welcome back guys, how are we doing today?

Betty- Nervous. (giggles)

Doctor- Don't be, you've done this so many times now. Today will be no different.

Jughead- Exactly, what did I tell you.

Betty- Oh shush.

He kissed her head and took her hand while the doctor began the ultrasound.

After a minute she found the baby and had them listen to the heartbeat.

Doctor- Your baby is still perfectly healthy, now, would you like to know the gender?

Jughead- Yes!

Doctor- Dad seems excited. (laughs)

Betty- We both are. (giggles)

Doctor- Good, would you like me to put the gender in an envelope or do you just want me to say?

Jughead looked at Betty, letting it be her decision.

Betty- Can you say it?

Doctor- Do you have any guesses first?

Jughead shrugged before looking at Betty.

Betty- I've been feeling boy, but I'm not sure.

Doctor- Well, you're having a beautiful baby girl.

Betty- A g-girl? (tears)

Doctor- Yep, it's a girl. Congratulations. Let me print out some pictures for you, I will be right back.

The doctor walked out and both Betty and Jughead looked at eachother with tears in their eyes.

Betty- W-We're having a baby girl. (cries)

Jughead- Yes we are. (tears)

Betty- I'm so happy. (cries)

Jughead- Me too. (tears)

Then the doctor came back in with their pictures.

Doctor- Here she is! I'll see you two in a few more weeks but if you have any questions feel free to come in or call.

Betty- Thank you. (sniffles)

Doctor- No problem, I'll see you two soon.

They nodded and left with the pictures of their baby girl.

The whole way home Betty talked about how excited she was for this baby and how happy she was to start looking for clothes and cribs and toys, etc. And Jughead was just so happy to see how happy Betty was.

But as soon as they got home Betty wanted to ask Jughead a question, and his answer was not something she was expecting.

Betty- Juggie, can we go to the baby store tomorrow? I really want to start looking for some things so we can get ready.

Jughead- I would love to but I actually have a date tomorrow.

Betty- W-What?

Jughead- I'm going out with this girl named Carly, she's a friend of my editor.

Betty- O-Oh, um, when did you ask her out?

Jughead- A few days ago, but it's just tomorrow so maybe we can go on Friday?

Betty- S-Sure, I guess.

Jughead- Great, do you want to watch a movie or something?

Betty- No, I think I'm just gonna go to my room.

Jughead- Um, alright.

Betty turned and walked into her room instantly letting the tears fall as she closed the door.

But Jughead didn't hear her crying.

The rest of the day she stayed in her room, she couldn't bear to look at the man she loved knowing he was going to be going on a date with a girl that wasn't her.

But he didn't even want to go on a date with this girl. He just wanted Betty, but he couldn't let himself love her the way he did. They were best friends and that's all they were supposed to be. So he hid the love from himself by asking this girl that he didn't even like out.

But now it was late and Jughead was concerned by the fact that he hadn't seen Betty.

So he went to her room and knocked on the door quietly trying to see if she was okay.

Jughead- Betts?

Betty- Y-Yeah?

Jughead- Are you okay? You haven't come out of this room since this morning.

Betty- I'm fine, I just want to rest.

Jughead- Then come to our bed.

Betty- I'm sleeping here, you can't sleep in the same bed as a girl and then have a date with another girl the next day.

Jughead- I g-guess you're right. If you need anything I'll be in our room, okay?

She didn't respond so he just went into their room thinking about how he wished he was going on a date with Betty instead of Carly.

And Betty was thinking the same.
