Baby project: a bughead story

Talking to Archie

Jughead pov

It's been about a week since Betty slept over and we've been seeing each other everyday to pass over Peter and looking after him is getting easier.
I saw Betty early this morning and she said that she was going to have a girls day with Cheryl, Joisie and Toni, and reminded me of that deal I made with her, so I called Archie,who is looking after his baby whilst Veronica is on a 'business trip' with her parents, and invited him to pops whilst I was on break for lunch so I could just be done with this deal

Archie comes in with his baby, Faith, and sits at the booth im at. "Hey Jug long time no see!"
"Yeah probably this baby business, how have you been, how's Veronica?"
"Good we're doing fine we're a good team I think, how's Betty after that weird conversation at the party, where did that come from?"
"I think her and Veronica is just having some issues but she's great, this project has let us become really good friends, but I've seen the way you look at Betty sometimes, any feelings for her there?"
"I don't know jug, between us I like Veronica, I have once liked Betty but that wasn't until Veronica came into town a while back, I guess I still have feelings for her but I see her as more of a best friend, and me and Veronica just connect," This'll be fun to explain to Betty and this'll probably last much longer then I wanted.
"Why don't you give her a chance Arch, because like think about it like this, Veronicas father and her are on 'business trips' a lot like if you get involved in that, you could be seen as a accomplice with anything that happens,"
"Jug that's really not yours or mine business, can we drop this topic please!" He's lost patience and so have I but for the sake of Betty I drop it.
"Fine, how's parenting any problems?" I couldn't care less about him being this perfect parent and to be honest I didn't want to be here but I am.
"Great, our baby is great, perfect at sleeping and doesn't hardly cry!"
"Oh wow..... that good for you,"
"Hey before about Betty, I see no girl with you, why don't you try Betty?" Andrews I would if I could trust me, I wanted to say but I was saved by Pop who needed my help with serving.
"Look we should meet up again maybe tomorrow?"
I didn't want to be alone with him really after just now so I say, " yeah, and we can bring Kevin, Fangs, Sweet Pea and Reggie,"
"Oh yeah we could,"

He leaves after he ate and I call Toni to come over to Pops to just watch Peter whilst I work and she could bring her baby too.

Soon late she comes in and sits with the two babies and we talk for a bit whilst Pops is quiet.
"So how's Betty going?"
"Can't happen, I stupidly agreed whilst being distracted to help her get with Archie, and she keeps reminding me of it. I don't want to hurt her so for now I have to go along with it,"
"Ugh that sucks, What about Archie I heard he was here earlier was that apart if this 'deal',"
"Yeah I asked him to try Betty and told him how Veronica was dangerous but he wasn't taking it, this'll be harder then I thought Toni. Then he tells me to try with her. I want to but she doesn't want me so for now, I'm friend zoned and I haven't even given her any signals, she's just keeping herself away from anything, so she's free for Archie!"
"We'll just wait a while Jug, she might change her mind when she sees Veronica with Archie."
"True, but don't tell anyone but she hurts herself when she's angry and she might just go too far once she realises Archie doesn't want her,"
"Oh god, Jug what will you do when she asks?"
" I don't know, probably just drag it out for a while and don't tell her everything that'll trigger her."
I go back to work and Toni goes home too and I then drop Peter of at Bettys house but when I knock it's not Betty.
