"Betty, we should go," I said, looking at her from the corner of my eye.
"First i need to know what's going on here! Chuck?" Coach Clayton said to chuck. 
Betty was whimpering in the corner, scared like she's seen a ghost. If only I hadn't taken her to this darned school, this wouldn't have happened. 

"Jug, can we go now?" she said, "please?" 

"yeah, Betts. Just meet me at the motorcycle," I replied back to her. 

"Will some kid here tell me what the hell is going on here?" Coach Clayton said. "Dad, can we talk about this later?" Chuck asked, looking down with his arms crossed. Clearly he was feeling guilty of what he did to my Betty.

"Your son, Coach," I said, "got my girlfriend pregnant." 

"WHAT did you do, Chuck?" He was pissed. Sorry Chuck.

Coach grabbed Chuck by the back of his shirt and dragged him to the car. I followed Betty out as we walked through the halls.

"Betty." No response. "Betty!" I said, a little louder. 

"What, Jughead?" She was nearly crying. That's why she didn't want to talk to me. 

"Betty, can we talk, please? This is so important to me. i need to know my place in this situation," I said to her. Betty nodded her head, I could talk and say what I needed.

"Betts, I know I'm not the father of your child, but I hope to be one day. I know Chuck won't..... uh, help i guess. But I hope I can. I really hope I can act as the dad to your kid, someday," God, she probably hated what I just said to her. 

"Juggy!" She jumped into my arms, kissed me on the cheek, and then hugged me for a good 3 minutes or so. It was probably the best 3 minutes of my life. To know that you're going to be a father, even if it isn't biologically yours.... wow.

We walked out of the school and hopped out of the motorcycle. It took us about 5 minutes to get home. Betty and I entered her house hand in hand, and Alice was standing there on the phone, with a worried look on her face. 

"Betty!" She said, relieved, "Where have you been?" 

"Mom, we confronted.... Chuck and we have some good news for you," She wanted to let me finish but it was her moment. 

"Jughead has decided to act as the father to my child. Chuck won't support me if my life depended on it. Plus, I don't want him to help," She gave me this look. I can't describe it. It was like a smirk, but it was sweet and looked like the true betty.

"Well, then, Jughead, welcome to the family! i could only expect you are living with us now, yeah?" She asked. At that moment I felt awkward. I don't know why. I don't know how. I just did. 

We talked and talked about me living with the Cooper's, about school, after the baby was born, all that stuff. And by the time we were done it was 10:30 and we were sent to bed. Yeah, I know, we're almost 17 and are being forced to go to bed.

Betty and I climbed in bed and looked at each other. She smiled at me. I smiled back. We weren't allowed to be awake so when we talked it was a whisper. 

"Betty?" I asked, wide awake. 

"yeah, babe?" She replied almost immediately. No hesitations.

"I just wanted to ask something about the baby. It's nothing... I can ask in the morning."

"Jug, come on. It's okay."

"Well, when you have the baby, what will happen? I know we talked about this but not what was important, really.... Will we move out? Go to college? Put the baby in daycare?"

"Jug, I'm due in 7 months, let's talk about this later..." She said, now facing upward.

"Okay, fine. Goodnight... I love you," I said, with excitement.

"I love you too."

We went to bed and woke up around 8. Luckily, it was Christmas break so we didn't have school. 

We got dressed, sorta, and went downstairs for breakfast. Alice was still sleeping so we just made pancakes together. 

Betty was so cute. She danced around and hugged and kissed me, and let me tell you, she is such  a good cook. 

Betty and I were about to clear our plates when the doorbell rung. 

"Ding Dong"

"Who's here so early in the morning?" Betty asked me.

I just shrugged my shoulders.

Betty walked up to the door with a sort of worried look on her face. She looked through the peephole.

"Oh my god!" She opened the door and hugged them.

"What are you doing here?" Betty said to them.
