Jughead POV

I open the front door and Dylan runs in.

"Where Mommy" she asks me.

"In my room" she smiles and runs there. I close the door and follow her. Once I get there Betty's holding Dylan in her arms.

"Look I made this with grandma" Dylan says and shows her the picture.

"Oh it's beautiful thank you" she smiles.

'I take a nap" Dylan says and rubs her eyes.

"Yeah come on" Betty sits Dylan on her stomach and take off her shoes. Dylan pt her picture on the bed side table and lays down. i take off my shoes and lay down next to the both of them.

Betty POV

"Dylan get your sandals please"

"No I wear sneakers" she says.

"Baby we're going to a pool you can't wear sneakers" I say and she starts crying. She hasn't seen jughead in to weeks because he's been working a lot. He got extra shifts because someone quit at his second job, and he has been working on his second book. I kept Dylan with me so he doesn't have any extra stress.

"No" she sobs and falls to the ground dramatically. I roll my eyes and walk to her room to get her shoes. When I walk back out she's still laying on the floor but isn't screaming anymore. I grab my bag and pick Dylan up off the floor and go to the car.

"I sorry mama" Dylan says as I put her in her car seat.

"It's okay Dyl. But you need to listen to Mommy okay. You can't wear sneakers to a pool it's too hot and you'll get your sneakers all wet and yucky" I tickle her stomach and she laughs.

I get in the car and start driving to Cheryl's. She having a pool party for the fourth. Cheryl wants me and Kevin to come earlier so we can't help set up. Also we're lighting fireworks later and last year Dylan was scared of them. She was screaming and crying. So hopefully this year she'll be okay.

"Benji coming?"Dylan asks from her car seat.

"Yeah him and auntie Ronnie are coming later." I pull into Cheryl's driveway and turn off my car. Cheryl runs to my car and get dylan out of the seat.I get out of the car and we start walking to her backyard.

"Hi Dylan how are you?"

"Good" Dylan and Cheryl are literally the best of friends. I don't know why but they are. Cheryl literally hates kids but like Dylan.

"Lets go set up so we can go in the pool" Cheryl says we get to her backyard and sweet pea toni and kevin are setting up. Well Sweet Pea and toni are kevin's in the pool.

"Hey, Betty you cut your hair?"

"Uhh yeah, its getting hot" I say. I really cut my hair because of an mental breakdown but they don't need to know that. Dylan runs over to the pool and puts her hands in the water.

"Dylan don't do that you might fall in"

"We get in water"

"Yeah come here" I sit down in one of the lounge chairs and take off her shirt and shorts. We walk over to the pool and I hand her to kevin.

"You gotta hold her Veronica has her floaties" I say.

"I know I wouldn't want her to drown" he says and I start helping set up.

I walk into Cheryls backyard and immediately Dylan is screaming and running to em.

"Dada!" She yell and I pick her up.

"Hi babe you having fun" I kick the gate close and walk over to Betty.

"Yeah wanna go in?" She asks me.

"Yeah just let me say hi to mommy" I say and I put her down and she gets back in the pool with Benji. I sit down on the lounge chair Betty was currently sleeping in.

"Hey" I say and she sits up.

"Hi Juggie"

"Your hair looks better than it did the other night" I smirk and she rolls her eyes.

"Thanks for comming over though" she smiles.

"Wanna sneak off to the bathroom?"

"Seriously Jug? Dylan's waiting for you in the pool"

"Come on" I say and stand up.

"I'm not getting in" she says. I notice she's still wearing her shirt.

"Baby what's wrong" I whisper and lean down.

"My...my bathing suit bottom is kinda low and you can see my scar."

"Baby...you're hot okay and that scar you have from giving birth to our baby girl makes you so much fucking hotter. Okay now let me see it" I say and she smiles bashfully.

"I love you" she says.

"I love you too. Now take off your shirt so we can get in the water." I smile and she pulls off her shirt. I grab her hand and we get in the water.

"Mommy look I swimming" Dylan says and splashes. Betty squeezes her eyes closed so water doesn't get into them.

"Good job baby" she smiles and I squeeze her sides.

"Jug" she warns me. I smirk and swim to Dylan. I pick her up.

"Daddy no" she laughs and I throw her into the water.

"Okay you promise you won't be scared" Betty asks dylan.

"Yep" Dylan says and sits on my lap. Sweet Pea lights the first firework and Dylan cries and hides her face in my shirt.

"Baby" Betty says and kiss her hair. And Dylan doesn't calm down instantly, but she needs to get used to them.

"Should we leave?" Betty asks.

"No she'll be fine" then a couple minutes later she stops crying.

"Look! A blue one" Dylan point up into the sky.

"Oh bay your so cute" Betty smiles and leans her head in my shoulder.

"They could sleep here" Cheryl says.

"No I'll bring them to my place. You're already going to have about seven people with hangovers tomorrow morning and a hyper toddler won't help." I say.

"Well I'll see you guys later" she says and I shake Betty's shoulder.

"Betty, come on" I say and she sits up.

"By Cher"

"Bye betty I'll talk to you later" I pick Dylan up and we walk to my car.

"You're taking us to my apartment?"betty asks as we drive away.

"No you're coming to mine"

"Juggie you don't have to"

"I know but I want too"
