Saving Her Innocence

Bettys POV
I held Tyler up trying to help him get to learning how to walk. He fell back down and I laughed.

I said "come on Ty! Today is the day you're gonna learn to walk!"

I held him up but he carefully dropped back down.

I said "come on dude, you've been practicing for a long time, don't you wanna walk with me and your daddy?"

He looked at me and I kissed him as my mom came through the door.

"There! Run to grandma!" Instead he flopped down and crawled and I sighed as my mom smiled picking him up.

"He's been doing that all day." I huffed out.

She said "it takes time Elizabeth."

I said "yeah but I want him to walk!"

She laughed and kissed Tyler giving him back to me "you're making me look bad now."

He was confused and I sighed kissing his head. I was still trying to get him to walk.

We were at Mrs Jones house as she said "come on Tyler you can do it."

He struggled and sat back down and she frowned.

"For Jughead it took him almost 11 months."

I sighed and she smiled holding him up as he laughed and fell back down and I groaned. Suddenly Jughead came through the door I smiled getting up and kissed him he kissed me back and rubbed my lower back.

He said "I love you and my mother hanging out."

I laughed as suddenly Tyler stood up and Mrs Jones let go of him. He suddenly walked over to Jughead and I, and I gasped as Jughead scoffed and dropped his bag and picked him up.

"You just walked!"

I began crying as Tyler laughed with Jughead saying "you took those first steps you did it Tyler!"

I smiled and Jughead kissed me. I laughed holding him and smiled leaned my forehead on his as I cried. As we sat down Tyler walked at times back and forth from Jughead and I. I smiled as he laughed holding Tyler.

"You hungry dude? Come on, let's go steal some left overs."

I laughed as he walked away. He came back and I smiled.

He said "I have news..."

I nodded and he sighed "I can't have Tyler be in danger the Ghoulies know about him and you..."

I gulped and held Tyler's hand as he said "so I decided to leave the serpents."

I frowned and said "but that's your life Juggie..."

He shook his head and held my face saying "you're my life Elizabeth Cooper and you always will be."

I smiled and he smiled as Tyler looked at us.
