She opens her eyes, a blinding light preventing her from seeing anything too discernable. It looks like a woman’s head is hovering over her and she can’t help herself. “Betty?” She asks gently.
“Sorry to disappoint.” Alice says.
“No, no, it’s fine.” Vee says quickly, slightly embarrassed as she sits up and looks around. She’s still in Betty's room,
“’about time you woke up.” Toni’s booming voice interrupted her thoughts.
She was sprinkling some contents into a mug of a warm drink and walking over. “How are ya feelin’?”
“Great.” Veronica grunts, sitting up and placing a hand on her side as she uses the other to grab the mug. She sniffs it cautiously, unsure of the scent is.
“ A gift from an old friend that had came to visit from way out... It's good for your condition.”
“Huh.” She takes a sip and her stomach finally feels as if it settled for the first time in forever.
"So hot stuff," Alice begins. "When were you planning on telling us?"
"Telling you what?" Vee’s heart pounds.
"I kinda told her that your pregnant." Toni confessed.
"What about Jug?, he knows." Veronica concluded after seeing their reaction.
"He was concerned so Betty and Cheryl told him." Toni confessed.
" How did he... take it?" Veronica curiously asked. " Unexpectedly calm but he was really worried about you." Alice sat beside her with a smile.
"Where is he?" "Vee, he's outside and you really needed to eat considering your condition." Alice had a plate of hot porridge.
"Yeah... Sorry." Veronica took the bowl of porridge and started eating.
" It's nice." She commented. "How far long are you?" Alice started asking looking calm and caring for her which was surprising for Vee.
"I think 3 to 4 weeks maybe, because i started getting nauseous by last week." She explained.
"So you guys must've had sex
before you left?" Alice asked and Vee nodded.
" So what I'm really curious about is, are you going to have the baby?"
Meanwhile
Toni came out, only to be attacked with tons of questions from Jug and others.
"She's fine and she's awake but... She needs rest Jug." Toni specifically told him.
"I know, it's just... I really need to see her." Jughead insisted.
"Jughead, we get how you feel about this whole baby thing but she really needs rest." Betty insisted.
"I really can't believe you guys knew and didn't say anything about it... It's all your fault she fell like that." Jughead angrily cried and panicked making Archie calm him down.
"Jug!" Gladys approached his son only to slap the hell out of him. Archie and the others low-key got scared of Gladys and left, they all knew she was a bad ass woma who didn't take shit. She was a bit similar to Veronica.
Jughead was now calm and Gladys made sure he was. "You also knew." Jughead resented his mother, he was not always there for him and hated how she kept secrets from him.
"Ooh c'mon Jug, I just discovered today. She herself wasn't even sure." Gladys spoke.
"Is that why you took her glass?" Jug asked as his mother nodes. "Yeah, she almost forgot herself but apart from all that, I want to know how you feel about it?" Gladys asked.
" About what?" Jug was confused but calm at the same time.
"About the pregnancy dummy." His mother teased. " I don't know, it just sudden and I don't know what to think." Jughead confessed.
"Yeah I know but it's already happened so you just have to take it all in. Do you think it's easier for Vee. Nothing is easy love." Gladys said with a sigh. Jughead realised his mom was telling the truth and for once in his life, he didn't despise her.
"I don't think she wants to keep it, she's obviously a woman of career and you, I don't know. You don't look ready so I hope you two figure it out." Gladys spoke heading downstairs leaving Jug alone infront of Betty's door room.
