Jughead held  the  door  open for Betty  as she walked  in seeing Polly holding  baby  Elizabeth  in her arms

Polly: hey guys

Betty: hey polly and hello there  Elizabeth

Polly: say hi  Auntie Betty

Polly took  the baby's  hand and waved it

Betty: she's  so adorable

Betty  held her  tiny hand

Polly:yeah but she's  such a sleeper and  hates to be woken up

Betty: she  looks like  you  Polly

Polly: really? I see you in her face

Betty: well I  am her auntie

Polly: one of them

Betty: that's  true

Jughead: well atleast she only has  one  uncle

Polly: true unless  Betty and I's long lost unknown brother  comes into  the picture

Betty: yeah, who knows?

Jughead: anything  could happen

Betty  kept  holding onto  the  baby's  hand

Betty: Jughead  you  can come  closer

Jughead:you sure?

Betty: yeah

Jughead  moves  closer 

Betty: isn't  she adorbale?

Jughead:yeah  she's  cute

Betty: was she up at all last  night?

Polly:the nurse told me she's  a  really good sleeper

Betty: that's  a relief

Polly: yeah but  I  haven't  heard  anything  on Gabriel

Betty: I  can go check in on him for you

Polly: no it's  okay I want  to know for  myself

Betty: okay Polly

Polly: I just feel like a failure  Betty

Betty: but  your not

Polly: then why wasn't  Gabriel breathing? why is underweight

Betty:Polly this isn't  your  fault

Polly: it feels like  it is

Betty:but  it's  not so don't hold  this against yourself

Polly dried  her tears

Polly: I just don't want to loose  my son

Betty: I  know  Polly

Polly looked  down at her daughter as Betty  looked at Jughead
