Best Friends or More?

Part 17

~Three years later~

Betty was sleeping in the huge bed alone, it was 7:30 and she just couldn't fall back to sleep.

She wished that Jughead was with her, holding her, but he couldn't be.

Then suddenly she saw her three year old daughter climb onto the bed. She went over and laid down in her mother's arms instantly hiding her face into her neck.

Rose- Mama, where's Daddy?

Betty- He's not here, remember?

Rose- Yeah, I want him home.

Betty- Me too, but don't worry, we'll see him soon. (tears)

Rose nodded and continued to hug her mother tightly.

The two of them spent the day together in their four bedroom home in Manhattan.

Betty originally didn't want to raise her daughter there, she wanted her to grow up with all of her family close by, but when Jughead sold his first novel, his publishers wanted them all to move to New York.

The book did very well.

It made enough money for Betty to even be a stay at home mom to her little girl.

But now it was just the two of them getting ready for the long night ahead of them.

They had both gotten showered and were putting on their dresses.

Betty did a little bit of makeup but didn't want to put on too much knowing she was going to cry.

Then she did their hair.

Betty had hers down in her long blonde curls while she put her daughters up in a high ponytail, Rose had the most beautiful long brown hair.

Then they made their way to the church. As they arrived they saw Veronica and Alice waiting with tears in their eyes.

Betty walked over to them with Rose on her hip and Veronica instantly hugged her.

Veronica- You look beautiful. (cries)

Betty- Thank you. (cries)

Alice- Are you ready sweetheart? (tears)

Betty- As ready as I'll ever be. (cries)

Betty placed Rose on the ground, allowing her to take Veronica's hand while she took her mother's arm.

Rose had the flowers in her hand while Veronica walked in, Betty and Alice following right behind them.

But soon as Betty saw everyone's eyes on her, she became nervous.

Alice could tell and planted a kiss on her cheek, calming her down instantly.

Then she saw him.

The man she was about to marry. {You thought he was dead didn't you}

She continued to walk down the aisle with her mothers arm linked with hers, but as soon as she reached her man he placed a kiss on her cheek.

Jughead- Betts, you look so beautiful. (tears)

Betty- Thank you, you look so handsome. (cries)

The ceremony started and the whole time Jughead held onto Betty's hands, never wanting to let her go, but then they finally got to the vows.

Jughead grabbed a piece of paper from his pocket and opened it before turning away from Betty and looking at their daughter.

Jughead- Rosie, I'm starting with you. Come here baby.
