Dark Paths (Bughead)

Chapter 18

The next morning ...

Betty got up early feeling the urge to throw up and raced to the bathroom to throw up

Polly walks in

Polly: Betty?

Betty: yeah?

Betty throws up some more

Polly: sorry to bother you but I just heard noises and wanted to say good morning

Betty: it's okay morning to you to

Betty says in between throwing up

Polly: morning sickness is the worst , I remember when I had it gosh I was a mess till I was 13 weeks and then I was fine. But I couldn't eat and all I wanted to do was sleep

Betty: yeah that's my problem

Betty eventually finished and slowly picked her head up

Betty: well I have to get ready to go see Jughead

Polly: okay have fun

Polly left the bathroom and Betty slowly stood up brushing her teeth quickly before she vomited again from the taste of mint then went to her closet throwing on light clothes , fixing her pony tail and walked downstairs to the kitchen. She wasn't totally hungry so he grabbed a granola bar and went on her way to the hospital

At the hospital ...

Betty walked into Jughead's room seeing Jughead slowly starting to awaken

Betty: morning Jug

Jughead yawned and looked over seeing his girlfriend

Jughead: morning Bets

Betty: how ya feeling?

Jughead: like garbage

Betty: so am I , morning sickness has been killing me but i didn't let it stop me from seeing you and I'm sorry you feel terrible

Jughead: it's okay but i feel worse for you having to get sick every morning , I partially feel like it's my fault

Betty: it's just a symptom of being pregnant I have to deal with for the next month or so

Jughead: still I'm here stuck in this bed and I can't help you when I should be

Betty: it's honestly okay

Jughead: I mean I would do anything for you even bring you medicine or just be your shoulder to lean on

Betty smiles

Betty: Jug I appreciate your kindness and concern but right now you need to get better and I'll handle myself

Jughead: well getting its taking forever and I want to feel beter so I can be with you

Betty: I know but I have some news that you might be interested in

Jughead:sure I'm listening

Betty: well after I got home last night before I went to bed my mom told me she made me an appointment for baby Jones 2 weeks from now on a Thursday

Jughead: wait, is your mom gonna be there?

Betty: yeah, why?

Jughead: you know she's not really fond of me

Betty: And? You're baby's Jones father so you have a right to be there no matter what my mom thinks or says , besides I want you there

Betty took his hand
