I hate that I love you...

Chapter 33- Baby Bump

Me writing while I wait for my packages to arrive🥲 I know I have a few days, but I can't stop checking every 10 minutes😭 hope you guys enjoyyy!

Veronica's POV...

It's been 3 months since I've found out I'm pregnant and lord has it been a rollercoaster ride.

My mood swings have been moderate, but it's been okay. I'm quite picky with foods and my cravings are weird. Jughead has been the absolute best though and is by my side for every single second.

I was getting dressed when I saw it and my heart did flips.

"Jug look!" I rush out of the bathroom and he hops up immediately.

"What happened? Are you okay?! Is the baby okay?!" He asks checking over every inch of my body.

"Yes. But look" I show him my belly and he smiles widely.

"You're showing!" He picks me up and spins me around.

"It's little but noticeable" I rub my belly and smile.

Only 5 more months to go and this little bundle of joy will be in our arms. I'm turning my old bedroom into the nursery, but the baby will be in our room for the first few months. Everything is planned out for now. Hopefully nothing comes to change or destroy my plans.

There's a knock on the door and I quickly go to open it. Behind the door were two people I despised and never wanted to see.

"Archie. Betty. What are you doing here?" I ask

"Who's at the door my love?" Jughead asks from the room. Betty's face contorts into a scowl but she quickly puts on a fake over cheery smile.

"No one important" I tell him and turn to the two.

"I wanted to apologize for everything. Betty followed me here. I'm really sorry for everything I've done Veronica. I was so messed up in the head and I let the words of other people get to me. I allowed myself to be used and that hurt you. I'm so sorry for that, if I could take everything back I would. But I know I can't, so the only thing I can do is apologize and try to be a better person. I'm changing for myself, because I don't like who I've become. I'm happy that you're happy and that Jughead makes you feel loved. That's all I want for you. I know you won't trust my word and I don't expect you to, but I really am trying. I hope that one day we can be friends again or just to the point where we can wave at eachother and go our separate ways" he says.

I just took it all in.

Surprisingly I believed him.

While I know that I couldn't tell that he was lying to me about seeing my best friend, I could tell he wasn't lying here. When Archie tells the truth about something he puts his whole heart into it. That's what's special about him, he has a lot of love and passion. He just lets the ideas and opinions of others decide for him.

"I believe you Archie. I'm happy that you're getting better and I hope we can be friends too" I say and he smiles, but I could tell he was shocked by my answer.

"Pathetic" Betty whispers under her breath.

This bitch.

"What's pathetic? The fact that he knows when he's wrong and wants to make things right? The fact that he even got with a bitch like you? The fact that you made him feel like the only way to win us back was to lie and manipulate?" The only thing that's pathetic is you and your failed attempts to break Jughead and I apart. You may have been successful for a bit but look at us now. We're better than ever and more in love than before. You made us realize that we are better together and that we need each-other. You did so much for what? For it to fail and blow up in your face? You tried to get both boys but in the end you got neither. Congratulations Elizabeth you won for being the most pathetic person I have ever had the encountered. Now if you don't get your ass off of the property I will drag you down those stairs pregnant and all" I say and their eyes widen in shock.
