JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS FOR GETTING ME TO 10K YALL 💘

Also, props to whoever made the artwork. I saw it on Tumblr and kind of saved it and it's been my homescreen for weeks now. I apologize because Idk who did it. But if someone does know, please put it down below in the comments so that I can give them proper credit. 😘

---------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up to a crying baby. JJ had been living with us for only a week, but Jughead and I were already growing accustomed to this new morning routine.

"I got him." I said tiredly, forcing myself to roll out of bed. I dragged my feet over to the crib. I carefully lifted Baby JJ out of his crib. "Do you need a bottle, JJ?" We headed downstairs, with JJ crying in my ear the entire time. "Shhh. We're gonna make your bottle downstairs, baby." I started heating up the bottle of baby formula. While I waited, I rocked JJ back and forth. "It's ok, shhh." I tried to calm him down. Finally, the bottle was ready. I took the bottle and placed it in the crying baby's mouth. "There you go." I laughed and groggily headed over to the couch. I plopped down, with JJ in my arms. And now to burp him. Mom life was exhausting. After awhile, Baby JJ fell asleep in my arms and I set the bottle down on the table next to me. I started to slowly fall asleep, with the baby in my arms, until Jughead sleepily sat down next to me. He slung his arm around my shoulders and rubbed his eyes with his other hand. Then he tiredly rested his head on my shoulder and moved his hands down to hold my waist from behind.

"Hey," he whispered in my ear. Then he kissed my cheek.

"Hey, Babe." I giggled lightly.

"I think we should move JJ to Polly's room now. He can't interrupt our alone time in a few weeks." Jughead joked, then softly kissed my bare shoulder. I was wearing a nightgown, don't worry. "Because he's not gonna want to see anything either." His lips slowly moved up the side of my neck. I let out a giggle.

"Stop it! JJ is trying to sleep!" I giggled.

"So? Put him in the crib upstairs. Then we can go rearrange his room next door. And we can officially have our room to ourselves." Jughead whined. He then started to move his lips down my arm, until he reached my fingertips. Then he gently took my hand in his. He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Ugh. Fine. Can we please cuddle first and then rearrange it later?" I whined and nuzzled his neck with my nose.

"Sure, Babe." I snuggled closer to him, with Baby JJ still in my arms. Jughead started absentmindedly rubbing my arm that was holding the baby. For once, life wasn't crazy. In that moment, everything was perfect. Just me and my little family cuddling.

----------------------------

When I woke up on the couch I was extremely confused. Where were Jughead and JJ?

"Boys?" I called. No one answered. Huh. Maybe they were upstairs. I walked upstairs and saw furniture out in the hallway. Polly's furniture. I walked into Polly's old room and saw Jughead, all covered in blue paint. He turned when he saw me, with a surprised look written on his face.

"Oh! Hey Betty!" Jughead smirked. "Hope you don't mind, I thought you'd want to rest and I wanted to get a head start on JJ's room." He shrugged, then continued painting the walls blue.

"Um. Yeah. That's fine. Thanks for letting me sleep in some more." I rubbed my eyes. "Where's JJ?"

"Asleep in his crib. And don't worry, he's only on his stomach because I read an article that said babies need plenty of tummy time too, or else they have oddly shaped heads or something." Jughead explained. I walked into my bedroom next door and saw Baby JJ asleep on his stomach. He seemed to be breathing fine. But just to be safe, I carefully turned him to be on his back. We didn't want SIDS. JJ still slept pretty well after I rolled him on his stomach. I walked over to see Jughead in the next room.
