Life with Bughead

Chapter 1: The Reunion

When you have writers block and all that your brain thinks of is bughead scenarios.

It was happening, Jughead finally convinced his mom to come and visit Riverdale now that everything has calmed down and his dad was out of jail. He was talking to her last week when she caved said she could come and visit for a few days. They would get in late at night but that didn't matter they would all have dinner at Pops as a family. For the first time in months Jughead was gonna have dinner with his entire family.

Jughead was in a great mood all day excited for tonight. The only person he told was Betty because he had to talk to someone about it and she was 100% supportive and exited for him to finally be with his family after so long.
Right now he was with Betty,Archie and Veronica in the student lounge and they were discussing going to see a movie tonight.

"You up for it Jug?" Archie asked
"I can't I have too much homework"

This was the worst thing he could have said. Since when does Jughead Jones pass up a opportunity to go see a movie for homework? He could tell by their faces that they didn't believe him but they dropped it. Later on he was walking Betty home

"You excited for tonight?" She asked
"Yeah excited and nervous"
"It's gonna be great Juggie... why didn't you mention it to Archie and Ronnie"
"It's not a big deal she's just coming for a week if she even comes in the first place.
"But it is a big deal Juggie" Betty said they stopped in front of her house and she placed  her hands on his face clearly seeing what the real issue is
"Your mom wants to see you she agreed to come her and Jellybean." Jughead smiled at the thought of seeing his mom and sister again
"I want you to meet her maybe tomorrow you could come over?" She smiled
"Sounds great and don't worry" he kissed her briefly before heading home.

"So I'll see you at Pops before we head over to the Bijou?" V asked over the phone
"Yeah sounds great I'll see you in a few" Betty responded before hanging up,  returning to touching up her makeup and putting away her homework before heading out. When she reached the end of her front door the door to the Andrews house opened and Archie stepped out holding the keys to his dads car Betty walked up to Archie and got in the car and they took off. Veronica was waiting for them at the front entrance

"Hey do you guys know who's eating with Jughead and his dad?" She asked looking into the window Archie and Betty immediately went to the window and looked in. Inside was Jughead sitting at a booth smiling with a little girl who was wearing a Pink Floyd shirt and same matching back wavy hair on one side, and on the other they could only see their backs but she assumed they belonged to Jugheads parents.

"No way that's his sister and his mom is probably on the other side, no wonder Jughead was acting weird" Archie said then looked towards Betty
"Did you know?" Archie asked slightly hurt that Jughead didn't tell him
"I did but Jughead didn't want anyone else to know"
"Why not this is huge" Veronica added
"I don't know I think Jughead doesn't want to get his hopes up he didn't want to make it a big deal in cause..."

"In cause she didn't come" Archie added
"Why wouldn't she come?" Veronica asked clearly out of the picture
"Jughead has a distant relationship with his mom, hasn't heard from her in months and even when he does it's not for long. She took off with his sister this summer and there's been no plans of her returning since or at least that's what Jughead told me"

"Well she's here now we should go say hi or Betty at least"
"No it's fine Veronica really I don't want to interrupt them"
"No Ronnies right Betty your Jugheads girlfriend you should go say hi" Archie added
"Yeah just go place our order to go and say hi while we're waiting, we can drink our milkshakes in the car before we go to the theatre" Betty was still unsure, she didn't want to overstep boundaries but a small part of her thought what's the harm? She would say hi maybe introduce herself, leave them and wait for the drinks.

She took a deep breath before heading in. She first went over the counter ordering 3 milkshakes, while waiting she glanced over at Jughead who was looking back at her with a smile.

She walked over to them and saw Jugheads parents more clearly, while having meeting his dad what was the real surprise was FPs arm around a women who could only be Jugheads mom. They didn't share any facial figures but they did shared the same dark curly locks, Jughead was the first to speak up.

"Mom, JB this is Betty Cooper she's my girlfriend" he then stood up, wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close.
"It's nice to meet you Betty"
"You too Mrs Jones" she reached out and the two women shook hands
"Your prettier in person, Jughead sends lots of pictures and won't stop emailing about you" JB said Betty couldn't help but smile but she felt Jughead place his head in the crock of her neck no doubt embarrassed. Both his parents were trying to hold back a laugh no doubt their son was already embarrassed enough
"Thank you JB I like your shirt you have Jugheads taste in music"
"Thank you" JB smiled then looked towards her brother
"I like her, are you gonna marry her?" FP spoke up while everyone else seemed to be speechless
"Uh that's a little far off for now JB"
A voice spoke over the awkward silence

"Betty your drinks are ready" Betty kissed her boyfriend on the cheek
"It was nice to meet you both Mrs Jones, JB"
"You too Betty" Mrs Jones replied Betty then grabbed her drinks and walked out she looked back and smiled at seeing Jughead happy.
He seemed to laugh at a joke someone said and hoped that the female Jones would stick around, she liked seeing Jughead smile.
