Saving Her Innocence

34

Bettys POV
Life got pretty good after that. I watched Tyler grow up to become a handsome young man. I did tell him about his real father but he didn't care. He was happy that Jughead was there instead and giving him the experience and showing him how to be the best guy he could be to someone. Now almost 16 years later Jughead and I have married, had two babies. One beautiful daughter and now a newborn son. As I walked around the house holding my son in my arms I saw Jughead come home from work as he set down his things.

"Rough day?" I had asked as he groaned.

He rubbed his eyes as we heard "daddy!"

We saw our little girl run in and hug Jughead, Juliet loved and adored her father. It made me happy. I smiled as I saw Tyler come down the steps as I tried cooking and he grabbed his baby brother Eddie.

"I'll take him mom."

I said "thank you Tyler."

He smiled asking "when's food gonna be ready?"

I laughed and said "in a bit."

I smiled as Tyler sat down on his phone as Jughead rubbed my back.

"Everything okay?"

I nodded as suddenly we heard "oh gross!"

We turned around seeing Tyler holding Eddie coughing.

"Mom I think he pooped."

I sighed and he said "I'll get him cleaned up. He's nasty."

I laughed as Tyler went upstairs. "You raised a good son."

Jughead whispered.

I held his hand saying "we raised an amazing son."

He smiled as we kissed and he kissed my forehead. That night after getting the kids to bed I saw Tyler as he saw me.

"Get some rest."

But as I was about to leave he asked me "mom...I have a question."

I came into his room sitting on his bed with him.
 
"What's wrong?"

He gulped and said "I'm sixteen."

I nodded and he said "you were really young when you had me..."

I sighed and he said "we're you scared?"

I smiled holding his hands "I was terrified."

He frowned as I told him "but the day you were born. In my arms. Curled up, huddled into my chest 24/7, it felt like a breeze. Fresh air."

He smiled and I played with his blonde hair.

I said "sixteen years ago I never thought i could've done it. But now. I see you and I'm so proud of you."
