Jughead POV

"I'm so sorry Jug" Betty cries and I hug her.

"It's okay we'll get through this" she pulls away and shakes her head.

"I can't do this again Jug, I physically and mentally can't" she sobs.

"So what do you want to do?"

"I wanna...I want to have an a-abortion" she says.

"Okay," I say and hug her.

"Do you think I should get an abortion?" Betty asks and looks up at me. We're in my room now laying on the bed. She has her head in my chest.

"Baby it's your decision to make"

"I know but if it was your kid would you want me too?"

"I don't know, but I would be happy with whatever you did because it's your body okay"

"I love you," she says

"I love you too." She sighs and I run my hand through her hair.

"I think you should tell your mom"

"What, why?" She sits up.

"Because your mom is babysitting Dylan and thinks you're at a doctor's appointment. We also have to make your appointment and you can't--"

"No Juggie I'll be fine"

"Betty I know you, babe. You're gonna feel upset and tired. So you're going to stay here and I'll take care of you for a couple of days, then Dylan can come back okay. I just don't want you to be stressed" I pull her down on me and I kiss her cheek repeatedly.

"Jug! Okay" she laughs and I stop.

"But umm are you mad that i...did what did," She asks.

"No betty it's fine, we're in an open relationship"

Betty sits up quickly "No don't want that. I don't want an open relationship anymore," she says and a tear falls out of her eye.

"Baby don't cry it's okay," I say and put my hand on her thigh.

"I'm sorry Jug. I was drunk and it just happened. I don't even know the guy he left before I woke up and left a note that said he was married and didn't want to talk again." She says and lays down on me again.

"How did that happen?"

"One of Ronnie's friends had a party and since Dyl was with you and Benji was with his dad, we went to it. I didn't have that many drinks Jug"

"Babe you never drank before so of course, you're going to get drunk easily"

"Have ever you drank before?'

"I don't know are police listening," I say and she laughs, god I love her.

"I'm going to take that as a yes"

"I'm almost twenty-one so it's fine"

"Well I'm nineteenth and have been pregnant twice now and that's saying something," She says

"Hey Betty accidents happen"

"I need a better birth control," she says.

"Or just remember to take it at all"

"That could be the problem" she yawns.

"Close your eyes, Betty, you're tired" I whisper and she nods.

"I'm sorry Jug" Betty sobs. We just got back from her appointment. There were people outside the building protesting. They were yelling at me and Betty, telling her that she would regret it.

I told Betty not to listen to them and they started saying just because I wasn't ready for a kid doesn't mean I have to force Betty into killing it. I wanted to yell at them that we already have a kid and it's not your fucking choice what a person does with their body.

When we were leaving people got all in our way saying we were murderers, and our parents should've aborted us. Fun fact about me, my mom already said she should have aborted me and my sister so didn't bother me much. But it bothered Betty so it also bothered me.

"You're okay Betty" I whisper and pull her hoodie off her head. I put my t-shirt on her and a pair of my sweats. I help lay her down under the blankets.

"Wanna another blanket?" I ask her and she nods. I walk to the closet in the hallway and grab another blanket. Betty likes to sleep with about four blankets and like twenty pillows. I can help her with the blanket part but not the pillow one. I only have about six pillows in this whole house I have two, Dylan has two and there are two on the couch.

I lay the blanket on her and I get under both blankets. Betty's still crying.

"Are you in pain?" I ask her.

She nods " Yeah can I get the heating pad" I wipe the tears off her cheeks.

"Yeah and I'll get your painkillers." I walk to the kitchen and get a bottle of water and the painkillers and heating pad off the counter. I walk back into the room and Betty's sitting up I hand her two pills and the bottle of water.

"Thank you," she says and takes the pills. I plug in the heating pad.

"Lie down?" I ask and she does. I move the blanket down and place the heating pad on her lower stomach. I pull the blanket back up and kiss her forehead.

"You good now?" she nods and closes her eyes. I lay back down and hold her in my arms.

Sorry for not posting. You know the cousin I based Dylan off of. Well she's at my house and I could right. Every time I'm on my phone she looks at me and asks me why I'm on my phone. But she leaves Tuesday so.
