Jones house

Betty POV
"Hey jug can you change Peter? V should be here any minute now." I say passing him to jug and jug screws up his face
"Yeah I know." I say laughing
"Really Betty why did we have another kid? These nappies are a nightmare!" He says changing him
"Uh because you love me and I wanted a bigger family?" I say pointing out the obvious
"Yeah I do." He kisses me and throws out the nappy

I rush around frantically looking for Juliet.

"Juliet?"
"Juliet!"
Where is she?
"Juliet I swear if you don't come right now...!" I begin shouting

"BOO!" She jumps out behind me
She's wearing her serpent jacket and Jugheads replica beanie, she's a duplicate of him, the smile and all

"What have said about jumping out on me? Your auntie Veronica and uncle reggie are coming today with Lucas. Lucas says he's very excited to see you, I think he may have a crush on you." I say smirking and sorting out her mess of a hair.

"Ew mum I hate boys!" She whines
"Yeah yeah I know how red you get seeing Luca, he does too." I laugh and she cringed at the thought
"All done! don't put your beanie back on it'll mess your hair again!" I warns Her as she runs of, "change that god-awful jacket of yours too, how about a nice dress." I say going to her room

"I love this jacket, daddy says to never take it off."
"Well mummy says take it off and if you don't I'll throw it in the bin." I say and she gives in angry

After she's finally dressed and jug has cleaned up and dressed Peter
And just on time we hear the doorbell

"Auntie Betty's and uncle Jughead! Juliet!" Lucas beams running in
"Lucas." Juliet says coldly
"She's in a mood Luca, I made her dress up nice." I roll my eyes at the moody girl standing there

"Well hey guys what's the news, come in?" Jug says and we all follow him back to our living room.

"Me and reg just came back form an appointment. As special kind of an appointment, we're pregnant again!" V announces

"Omg! Yay!" I squeal and hug Veronica and reg as does jug
"Congrats guys, how far?" He asks
"13 weeks." Reggie proudly answers

We talk about the baby and how things are going with them.

Juliet POV ( never done this before lol)

I sit in my bedroom on my bed with my arms crossed and my back turned to Lucas.

I sigh loudly, hopefully for Lucas to ask what's wrong, I really like him but I won't admit it to my parents. My mummy will make fun of me and my daddy will kill him, but they may not care, they haven't payed lots of attention to me, that's why I drew on the walls, for attention.

*sigh loud again*

"What's wrong Juliet?" He says

I turn to him looking at me
"My mummy won't let me wear my beanie and jacket, and Peter is getting all the attention form my mummy and daddy, they don't even read to me anymore." I whine

I wipe my eyes clear of my tears.

Lucas sits on my bed next to me, "I'm sure he just needs that little more attention Juliet, my mummy and daddy are busy now too, she has a baby in her tummy now."

I turn to him, "ooo really?" I say excited

"Yeah! I don't understand how my mummy just said that their love made it, somehow." He looks confused and I go back angry

"Juliet it's okay you have me." He hold my hand and I look at him.

I kiss his cheek and he smiles, "wow." He says
"Boys are so gross." I say laughing
"So are girls ew!" He says wiping his cheek

Jughead POV
After The mantle family leave and Peter is asleep as is Juliet. I read Juliet a story tonight for the first time in a while, between work and Peter things have been tiring and I feel like Juliet had been a bit off.

I sit on the sofa next to Betty who is watching tv.

"I want another baby already, I miss being pregnant." She whines
"Really, peters pregnancy was kinda brutal Betty, he was big and almost damaged your back permanently." I say reminding her
"Yeah...... maybe a couple more years." She rest her head on my shoulder. At that moment I hear faint music, from my phone.

I reach into my pocket to get it and read Reggie a name on the caller id.

"Hey reg, what's up? Did you leave something here?"
"No uh, so I was just putting Lucas to bed and he says Juliets been upset and wants more attention. Something like that anyway just wanted to let you know."
"Thanks reg appreciate it." I hang up

"What did reg want?" Betty Asks
"Juliet a been feeling sad and left out because of Peter." I say upset that we didn't think about this

"I'll go speak to her." Betty says getting up
"I'll come too, I used to read to her all the time I haven't been much anymore."

We go to her room and see she's wide awake

"Hi mummy and daddy I can't sleep." She says poking her head just over the cover

"Hey can we talk little one." I says pulling her onto my lap.
"About what?" She asks
"Are you okay with Peter?" Betty asks straight up

She pauses for a bit then says, "no." Quietly
"Why's that?" I ask
"He gets all your attention, you don't even read to me anymore and mummy you don't listen to me."
"If this is about that one day when your brother was screaming to the top of his lungs surely you could understand it's a bit difficult to listen baby." Betty says stroking her head.
"Look your the older sister. Your grown up and mature, your brother can't do anything on his own. We promise though to read every night and talk about school and your stories after Peter goes to bed or something. Is that a deal?" I say
"Okay." She jumps and tackles me on the bed with hugs and Betty crashes on top

She laughs a big laugh and eventually falls asleep on me.
