*one week later*
Betty has been sleeping with Olivia some nights. The nursery is still not done. Jughead has been going to work night and day. And when Jughead is not working he is hanging out with Liv.

Jughead and Olivia are playing in her room. O"mama is always sad, she tries to hide it from me and tell me she's fine but she's really sad, you don't spend time with her and you're gone all day at work." J"i know princess but daddy is a busy man, im the only one in this house that has a job and we need the money for the babies, im trying my best." O"i know, mommy is trying to do the nursery but it's hard for her, I wish I could help." J"you're helping her in the best way, speaking of how's physical therapy going?" O"mama said that im doing so good, I wiggled my toes, but the therapist said that it might take me a long while to walk again, if I could at all." J"it will be a process but I'm proud of you." O"daddy, I want you to work it out with mom, whatever it is, she is not herself, she is miserable." J"i know I will, and its stuff you wouldn't understand but I'll make it right with mommy." O"good mama needs you." J"ok baby I need to work, but I love you and I love your mommy." O"i love you daddy." Jughead kisses her head and leaves.

8PM
B"alright bunny time for bed." O"you aren't going to sleep with me tonight." B"no you kick in your sleep, and you don't want to hurt your sister and brother." O"no mama, ill go to bed. I'm tired can you stay in her until I fall asleep?" B"of course bunny." Betty sits next to liv on her bed. O"night mama." B"goodnight bunny." Liv falls asleep.

3AM
Betty goes to the kitchen to get a drink. Jughead come behind her and hugs her. B"Oh, God, you're an asshole." Jughead laughs. B"you seriously can't do that." J"ok I'm sorry, really." Betty put her arms around Jugheads neck. B"i missed you." J"i do too." B"why are you gone all day and all night, we never have time together." J"i know I'm just trying to have money for when the babies are here." Betty can tell he's lying. She let's go of him. B"you're lying." J"im not lying." B"Jughead, I can tell when you are lying. Are you cheating on me?" J"no Betty, I would not do that." B"then what is it?" J"ok fine, please don't be mad." B"Jughead all I want is the truth." J"before I found you and met Olivia, I was careless and stupid, it was almost a year before we found each other again." Betty puts her hands on Jugheads cheeks. B"what, just tell me." Jughead pulled out his phone and showed her a picture.

J"her name is Haley and she is one

J"her name is Haley and she is one." Betty was in shock. B"wow." J"yeah, I just found out about it too." B"um..." J"her mom is very horrible to her and neglects her, so I come over and give her the things she needs." B"oh my god." J"i was scared to tell on account of you throwing me out." Betty kissed Jughead, for the first time, in what felt like forever. J"what is that for, I thought you would break up with me and throw me out." B"you are a great guy, I love you." J"I love you too and Liv and Haley, and the twins." Betty kisses him again. B"i want to meet her, can you bring her over daily?" J"idk, her mom is a bitch." B"but she doesn't care about her." J"yeah I know but she gets what she wants." B"wow, she's a bitch, if she lays a hand on her, tell me, because I don't play with that shit." J"i will try to bring her over, I have an idea, if you really want it?" B"whats that?" J"how about we fight her for custody." B"yes, I don't even have to think about it." J"omg, that's a relief." Jughead kisses Betty. B"i can't let that poor girl grow up with that monster." J"yeah I can't either, but are you sure about this." B"100% she is your daughter, which makes her mine too." J"I love you." B"i love you too and I can't wait to get to know her and by the way she is beautiful." J"why thank you." Betty kisses Jughead again.

The next morning
J"ok I'm going to try to bring her." B"ok good luck, I gotta get our daughter to school." J"ok see you later, I love you." B"i love you too."

Betty goes to Livs room. B"come on liv its time for school." O"ok mama, I'm up." Liv gets out of bed. O"mommy you look so much happier today." B"because I am bunny, let's get you ready." Betty get liv ready for school and drops her off. Betty goes home to make some food and gets some stuff around for Haley.

Jughead finally comes home with Haley. B"oh my gosh, can I take her out?" J"of course." Thet sit on the couch and talk while shes taking her out. B"so how did you get her to let you take her?" J"it wasn't that hard, she told me to keep her for the night and bring her back tomorrow, but if I don't I'll have police at my door, you know, the usual." B"well at least we get her for the night." J"yeah, I finally get her the whole night without her bitch mother." Betty has taken her out fully. B"omg brings back memories, and gives me baby fever, its a real thing you know." Jughead chuckles. J"i believe you, she gives me the baby fever too, im so glad we'll be having some soon." B"yeah me too" B"can she walk?" J"her mother never really helped her or taught her anything, buy she could walk a little bit."
