Dark Paths (Bughead)

Chapter 26

A few weeks later...

No one POV: Betty was now 12 weeks and finally had a  definite baby bump. It was starting to get more noticeable week by week and as baby Jones grows the tighter Betty's shirts become as it's getting difficult to hide it. No one's seen Betty's bump yet but soon people will know and Betty grows more self conscious.

Betty woke up luckily not needing to throw up walking over to her vanity and combing through her hair deciding to leave it down. Being top tired to put it up. Then Betty started looking for a shirt trying on numerous shirts and all exposing her. After what seemed like her whole clsoet she found A shirt that didn't show her bump throwing it on and leaving behind the shirt tornado on her bedroom floor as she raced down to the kitchen.

Alice: woah what's the rush Betty?

Betty: sorry mom it took forever to get a shirt and I wanted to make sure I had time to ear

Polly: how many weeks are you?

Betty: 12 weeks

Polly: oh so that means the baby is the size of a plum and your at the end of 2 months and you'll be 3 months next week and into the second trimester.

Betty: yup time just can't slow down enough

Betty grabs an apple in a hurry

Alice: Betty why don't you sit down and let me make you breakfast

Betty: okay sure thanks mom
