One week later.
Betty is playing with Olivia and Jughead is making dinner. B"hey bunny, i have a question." O"what is, mama?" B"do you want daddy to move in with us?" O"YEESS!" Olivia shouts in excitement. B"im happy to hear that, we are going to ask him when we eat dinner." O"ok, mama." J"dinner is ready." Jughead yells from the kitchen. Betty picks up olivia and walk to the kitchen and puts her in her chair. Betty and Jughead go to the table with the food. Betty put Olivia's food in front of her and she goes crazy. Betty and Jughead laugh. B"she is too much like you." Betty smiles. O"my mama always tells me I'm just like you daddy." B"juggie, I have something to ask you." J"of course, what is it?" B"me and liv want you to move in, you know permanently." J"i would love that." B"really?" J"yeah, I hate living with my dorm roommate and it's closer to us being a family again." O"yaay, daddys coming home for good." B"yeah I hope for us to be a normal family, especially for Olivia." Betty and Jughead look at Olivia, she is in her own world excited.

B"ok, bunny its time for bed, it's 9:00." O"ok mommy, can daddy read me a story and tuck me in?" Betty goes to her bedroom. B"finished getting settled in?" J"yeah, it feels so good finally living with you and Olivia." B"yeah it does, she wants you to read her a story and tuck her in." J"ok." Jughead walks past Betty and walks to Olivia's room. Betty changes and puts Jugheads long t shirt on, the shirt ends at her knees. She only has underwear on under it. She crawls in bed. Jughead comes in. J"she was drifting off but she won't go to sleep." B"ok, I got her, you could get in bed." J"ok." She gets up and goes to Olivia's room. B"whats wrong bunny." O"im sleepy." She wines. Betty sits on her bed and pulls Olivia on her lap. Olivia snuggle Betty. O"is daddy going to leave in the morning?" B"he still has classes in the morning but after that he will come back home to us, he won't leave us, I promise." O"k, I wove you mama." B"i love you too, now gets some sleep." One minute later and she was out. Betty laid her on her bed and tucks her in and leaves the room. Betty goes to her room and closes the door and crawls into bed. J"so what was wrong?" B"She thought you were going to leave us." J"I won't put her or you through that again." Betty kisses him, it turns into a makeout and she straddles him. Betty pulls off the t shirt. J"Betty, slow down." B"what?" J"olivia." B"shes sleeping." J"her birthday is coming up." B"you remember her birthday?" J"like it was yesterday, Betty, I dont want you to be mad but I was there, when she was born but I didn't know if she was a boy or a girl." B"why didn't you tell me?" J"i didn't want to upset you." B"it kinda does, you saw me but you left, why?" J"i was young and scared, like I told you my dad put things into my head and at first I wasn't going to let him get to me, but when I saw the baby, I panicked and ran, which I will regret for the rest of my life." B"well I'm glad you told me the truth and that your here now." J"i just love her so much, it hurts that I didn't raise her with you." B"you still can, she's only 4." J"almost 5." B"oh yeah, then when is her birthday?" J"august, 25 at 2:03 in the morning." B"omg, you even remembered the time." J"yeah I remembered that, I stayed up all night, just she that I can see the baby." Betty kisses Jughead again. Jughead pulls away again. B"why?" J"i just want us to go slow for right now." B"why, we haven't been together in 5 years and I really miss you." J"me too but I don't want to rush anything." B"i understand." J"and I don't want to mess anything up." B"you won't, how would you?" J"i don't know, if anything small, I just don't want to mess up anything." B"baby, you won't, I know you won't." Betty cuddles into Jughead and falls asleep in his arms.
