Riverdale Oneshots

Myself (Betty)

Betty's POV

There we were, awkwardly freezing our asses off on the carriage ride through Central Park. I knew it was coming and I still didn't know what to say, he was going to propose on fucking Christmas eve in front of all our friends and family. The pworst part about all of this, was that I was about to break up with Jughead.

We wanted different things but I didn't get the chance to do it before the holidays. He kept smiling at me and I just couldn't do anything but smile. I could tell he was nervous but I didn't know how to tell him that I didn't want to marry him, so I just stayed quiet all day.

I finally sighed and looked at him, I didn't want to embarrass him in front of everyone so I had to do it quickly

Betty- "J-Jug? Can we talk?" Jughead- "oh, um sure Betts. What about?" Betty- "I know what this is about, and I know what you're doing. And I can't say yes Jug" he stopped fiddling with his hands and looked up at me. It was freezing but I uncrossed my arms and took his hand. Betty- "I'm not trying to make you feel bad or embarrassed, but I'm not ready" he looked really upset and disappointed but it was better here then him on one knee.

He stopped the carriage ride before we got off and he paid the driver Jughead- "s-so, what are you planning to do?" Betty- (sighs) "I guess go back to the apartment and back my stuff, I've been thinking about moving back to Riverdale" Jughead- "well good news, you can fly back with you mom" then he just stormed off

I couldn't blame him for being upset, but I also didn't feel bad. It was kind of out of the blue and it was surprising, and we never talked about our future.

Instead of trying to follow him to see where he was going, I just did what I said and went back to the apartment. I walked in but I didn't feel sadness like I thought I would, I felt like I was free to make my own choices and not worry about how they would affect Jughead.

I didn't have a lot of my stuff with me so packing was pretty easy and I was done with in about two hours. Jughead still hadn't shown up and neither did anyone else so I just booked a riverdale train ticket for the next train out of New York

The next day I woke up in the four seasons with the worst nausea in the world. I couldn't even open my eyes it was so bad, I carefully reached for my phone and called Veronica who came back with me but went back to the Pembrooke

(On the phone)
Veronica- "hey Be. How are you feeling this morning?" Betty- "like shit, can you bring me some stuff?" Veronica- "oh shit girl, are you pregnant?" Betty- "no, I can't- shit!" Veronica- "mhm, okay so I'll pick up some drugs and a test" Betty- (sighs) "thanks Ve"
(Off the phone)

I put my cold hand on my hot forehead and just groaned for a second. It some how made me feel better, I finally sat up and just realized how much my life might change. I just put my hand on my stomach and smiled a little before quickly running to the bathroom and puking up everything I ate yesterday

It was miserable and I just stayed there alone until I felt Veronica rub my back. Veronica- "aw sweetie" Betty- "I hate throwing up" Veronica- "everyone does" after a couple minutes she gave me a glass of water and handed me the pharmacy bag she got me. Veronica- "I'll be outside if you need me" she kissed the top of my head before closing the door and leaving me alone.

I took the test and some Adderall before going to see her. Betty- "negative, thank god" I wasn't actually as happy as I was trying to be, and Veronica could tell. Veronica- "are you sure?" Betty- (in tears) "no" Veronica- "aw Be"

She pulled me into a hug as I cried into her shoulder. I still wasn't feeling well but I didn't care. I spent five minutes getting excited about maybe having a baby but when the test came back negative it made me a little upset

It was a very short and fast thirty minutes between waking up and crying over a negative pregnancy test. It wasn't how I thought the day was going to play out when I checked into the hotel yesterday

Betty- (sniffles) "I know it's stupid, but I got excited for a second" Veronica- "it's okay Betty, I get it" she hugged me tightly as I calmed down. Betty- "I-I just don't know what I want in my life, especially after yesterday" Veronica- (softly) "I still wanna know but I didn't want to ask yesterday. Why did you say no?" Betty- "because I don't want to marry him, but I want to be a mom"

Veronica- "why don't we talk about this when you're feeling better, okay?" I nodded as she helped me up and lead me to the bed

Veronica- "I'm gonna stay with you until you're well enough to go back to your moms place. She got back this morning" Betty- "why do you know that?" Veronica- "she texted me to bring you back, so let's just focus on getting you better"

I really wasn't in the right headspace for anything really and I didn't even remember starting to cry again. Betty- (in tears) "I want a baby Ve, I want to be a mom" Veronica- "I know Be, but why don't you just get some rest right now" I nodded and closed my eyes

I woke up a few hours later and I was feeling much better. I immediately smelt a Pop's burger and I was so excited because I hadn't had one in months. Betty- (yawns) "Ve?" Veronica- "well look whose awake" I sat up as she came over and sat on the bed near my feet. Veronica- "feeling better?" Betty- "definitely, I think I just ate something weird"

Veronica- "are you well enough to talk about what happened?" Betty- "what did happen?" Veronica- "girl, you were like.. hysterically crying over not being pregnant" Betty- "really?" Veronica- "you seriously don't remember?" I shook my head as she sighed. Veronica- "I think we should talk"

I nodded as grabbed my hand. Veronica- "Betty, do you want to have a baby?" I looked at our hands before nodding slowly. Veronica- "okay.. well luckily we live in an age where it's possible to do it with having sex" Betty- "wow thanks Ve" Veronica- "hey, I'm just trying to help" Betty- (sighs) "I know, and I really appreciate it but maybe I just have to wait. I mean I'm moving back in with my mom and I can't do that to her" Veronica- "I get that, but what was her Christmas wish last year?" Betty- "to be a grandmother, but that doesn't mean I can just move in and say I'm gonna have a baby by myself" Veronica- "why not?"

I just sighed as she wrapped her arms around me. Veronica- "Let's just get you home, then maybe you and Alice can talk" I nodded before we both started packing up my suitcase and heading to elm street

After I got settled in for a few days, I decided to talk to her about my feelings and what I wanted. She really listened to me and said that she would help me with anything I needed which made me feel better

I went to the doctor and we found a donor for me which made me feel like it was surreal. I found out that I was pregnant just a couple months later. I was scared but Veronica and my mom were both there for me.

I immediately fell in love with my daughter the moment I saw her. I named her Saylor and she was the best decision I had ever made, and I couldn't wait to raise her myself
