Baby project: a bughead story

Bonus chapter 3

Betty POV
"Juliet! Juliet!" I swear that's all I say anymore
"Juliet! Come here!" That too

As she runs down she has her face covered.
"Why you covering your face jules?" I say kneeling down to her
"Um because I don't want you to see it."
"Why's that?" She doesn't say anything, "oh because it has makeup all over your face?" I say moving her hands and seeing bright red lipstick I got from Cher from Christmas is smeared all over.

"I'm sorry mummy I just want to be pretty like you and auntie Cheryl!"
"What about your other aunties? They're pretty!" I say wiping it off
"Yeah but I like her lipstick."
"Don't do that again without asking." I warn.

She nods and runs off. All I do in my day is call for her because I know she's done something wrong.

Jughead POV
I finished work early today and it's mine and Betty's anniversary today. I managed to cut of my work day so I can set up our date tonight. We've been so busy these last few years we haven't had proper dates in ages, this has to be special

I call Archie and his girlfriend Laura, who he is serious with, to watch the kids.

Archie met Laura two years ago and they are a good couple. Laura is really good with the kids too.

"Hey arch I have planned something for me and Betty I was wondering if you could if you could watch the kids?"
"Yeah of course jug!"

I pick up a couple of things for the date and one important item. Then I head home.

"Betty! Juliet! Peter!" I call and Juliet comes running to me and I pick her up.

"Daddy your home early!" She says loudly
"I came home for your mummy, we're going out tonight so uncle Archie and Laura are coming to play. Are you gonna be good?" I say to her
"Yes daddy."

I put her down and go to our room to find Betty changing Peter.
"Your home early! Is this for our anniversary?" She stays smirking and cleaning up Peter

"Yes it is. Love you." I say kissing her cheek and putting my work stuff away.
"Who's gonna watch the kids?"
"Archie and Laura. I already called they're coming, you need to get ready for a very special date!"

I take Peter from her and put him in the cot and I change quickly then wait for Betty.

I hear the doorbell go after.

I open it and see Archie and Laura there, "hey guys thanks for watching them tonight."
"No prob I love these guys!" Laura says
"Yeah jug it's alright." Arch says patting my back

"Yeah so peters just been changed and he's ready to go down. Juliet still has an hour, she can watch her tv show or she can read then she had to go to bed."
"Great! does she read with us or ok her own or do we read to her?" Laura asks
"She chooses that sometimes she likes to read to you so just go with the flow."
"Shouldn't be too hard, maybe for Archie because he hasn't read a book in years!" Laura says and we all laugh
"I mean she isn't wrong." He admits

After Betty comes down wearing a long pink dress and her hair down and curled at the tips.

"You look amazing Betts." I say taking her hand
"Thanks jug, you don't look so bad yourself. Where are we going? Locks?" She says excitedly
"Maybe." I smirk, she knows me well

"Juliet!" Betty yells
"Yeah mum!" She says running in
"Me and daddy are going now, be good and look after Peter."
"Okay mummy have fun!" She kisses us goodbye and we are off.

I drive us first to lock bridge as predicted.

"Look here it is I found our one, still here with Juliets too!" Betty says excited and showing me the pink heart locks

"Here you go add this one!" I say passing her and blue heart lock.
"I have been waiting for this one!" She says happy and adding the lock.
"Perfect!" I admire
"Where next?" She eagerly asks

We drive to a restaurant nearby and go in. We get seated and given menus.

"I'll come back after to collect your orders." The waitress says
"Thank you." Betty says

"This has been lovely jug. I can't believe seven years, well I mean I can believe it." She stays laughing
I join in and say, "well you deserve every bit off it Betty."
"You too jug your a great father and husband. Peter and Juliet love you lots, I think Juliet literally is your shadow."
"She is, she just copies me the way I used to dress and all. Peter looks just like you though."
"Yeah. We did alright didn't we jug, this family, we've done good."
"Yeah we have." I say and take her hand

We finish dinner and go home.

I unlock the door and walk in to a dark house.

"Uh hello! We're back! Anyone up?" I say and Laura comes out from the kitchen

"Hey I was just clearing up Archie should be with Juliet and Peter upstairs."
"Thanks for looking after then we can finish the cleaning up." Betty offers
"No no! It's your anniversary! Go see the kids."
"Thanks." Betty reply's

We go up to peters nursery and don't see him in there.
"Where is he?" I ask
"Maybe with Juliet."

We go to Juliet's and see Archie Peter and Juliet cuddled up sleeping (even Archie).

"Aw jug let's leave them. It's too cute." Betty says and we leave laughing and Betty goes to our room to change and I go down to Laura.

"Erm so Archie and the kids are sleeping on the bed, I'm not sure if you wanna wake him up or sleep here in the guest room or I don't know your choice." I say to her
"Oh wow he's really good with kids. If it's okay I'll just stay here in the guest room."
"Yeah go ahead."

I go back up and change and get into bed with Betty and Betty moves closer to me and rests her head on my chest.

"I love you jug and our family." Betty says
"I love you Betty, I literally have no regrets to how we got here"
"Me either."

I have the best family ever and I wouldn't change them for the world.

Author note
I am going to be doing a couple more with another time jump to when Juliet is 17 maybe and Peter is 10. They will look more into them two, a chapter on the life in their friends the one last for Betty and Jughead.

Sorry I've been bad at updating, I've been reading the Anna Todd After series and it is very addicting I recommend it. The books are on here and the movies are on Netflix if you are looking.

I'm almost finished and have some ideas for a new book but any more will help.
Thanks for being great readers and commenting and voting I am really grateful.
