Arranged Marriage

Part 20

Pop- Now, what would you like to eat?

Isabella- Chocolate milkshake!

Betty- (giggles) For her can we get a chocolate milkshake and macaroni?

Pop- Yep.

Betty- I'll do my usual.

Jughead- And I'll do my usual as well.

Pop- Perfect, your food will be out in a few minutes. Isabella, would you like a menu to draw on?

Isabella- Yes!

Pop- Okay I'll be right back.

He walked over to the front and brought her a little kids menu along with some crayons.

As he placed it in front of her she giggled and clapped before picking up the crayons to colour on the paper.

Once Pop walked away Jughead looked at Betty to make sure she wasn't upset after what he had said.

Jughead- Betty...

Betty- Yeah?

Jughead- Are you okay?

Betty- I'm fine.

Jughead- You sure?

Betty- Yeah, everyone was going to fine out at some point...either way I don't really care as long as it doesn't hurt her.

Jughead reaches his hand over the table and Betty placed hers on top of his.

Jughead- You are such a good mom.

Betty- You think so?

Jughead- I know so.

Betty- Thank you.

They continued to talk until their food came but while they ate Isabella once again felt very tired.

She rested her head on Betty's chest and started to doze off but Betty wanted to make sure she wasn't still hungry.

Betty- Baby are you done eating?

Isabella- Mhm, I'm tired.

Betty- I know, you can rest while we finish eating.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep in Betty's arms while Betty and Jughead finished eating their food.

Once they had finished they paid and walked home only to get started at by a bunch of people.

Betty was very uncomfortable so she kept moving closer to Jughead.

Jughead- Hey, are you alright?

Betty- People keep staring, I don't like it. (quietly)

Jughead- I know but don't worry, we're almost home.

They soon arrived back at their house and Betty laid Isabella down on the couch gently not wanting her to be too far away from her.

While Betty was sitting on the couch with Isabella, Jughead went to check the mail.

When he came back in the house he had a bunch of letter that were addressed to Betty.

They both very confused but started opened them together.

They were all very sweet notes people had written about Isabella and everything that has happened to Betty...but as they got to the last few letters Betty couldn't even bear finishing them.

The were disgusting and horrible.

When Jughead saw Betty crying he pulled the letter out of her hand and started reading it himself.

Dear Slut,

You deserve every fucking thing you got from Hal and I hope he does the same thing to your little slut of a daughter as well. He's going to make sure she cries for help while he's balls deep in her sweet little pussy. Have a fun life bitch Betty Cooper, and your daughter too.

Jughead was astonished by the words he had just read.

He instantly tore it up and threw it away not wanting anyone to ever read that.

He pulled Betty into his arms and kissed her head.

Betty- W-Who has the fucking audacity to w-write that about my daughter? M-My three year old daughter? (sobs)

Jughead- I don't know, but it doesn't matter, that will never happen to her and I will make sure of that.

Isabella- Mommy...Daddy...

Betty quickly wiped her tears away and looked behind her at her daughter who had just woken up.

Betty- Hi sweet girl, come here.

She reached her arms out and Isabella ran into her lap.

She leaned against Betty's chest and snuggled in her arms.

Once Betty has Isabella in her arms, she had already forgotten about the letter.

All the mattered was her child.
