*skip to Jugheads birthday. Juliet is now one*
Betty's POV
Today was Juggie's birthday and I wanted to core four to hang out at our house. Yes there would be balloons and some streamers but it was only four people. The decorations were just to add a little pop. "Morning Juggie. Happy birthday!"

"Morning Betts. Are we still watching the double feature?"

"Anything you want." He smiled and we got out of bed. We headed to the movie. "Ok. Popcorn and gummy bears?"

"Of course." I got the food and we sat down. The movie started. I noticed Jug wasn't watching the movie but watching me.

"Juggie. Watch the movie. We didn't just pay ten bucks for you to stare at me for an hour."

"Sorry. Fine." He turned his attention to the movie but every now and then he'd look back at me. Once the movie was over we walked home. One of the many perks of living in riverdale. It's so small you can walk anywhere.

"Come on Juggie." We walked into the house and there were balloons and streamers set up. Veronica and Archie were wearing little party hats. Juliet was sitting in a little chair.

"Oh. Is it just me or does this feel like de ja vu. It's high school all over again." Juggie mumbled.

"Juggie do you not like it?" I ask.

"Do you want the honest truth?"

"Yes."

"If I'm being honest I hate it. I thought you learned by now Betty. I hate my birthday. And it just reminds me of the night I almost lost you."

"But you didn't!"

"I might! Until you're sick of slumming it with me! And someone better comes along! Remember we're complete opposites! I'm a weirdo from the wrong side of the tracks! Your the perfect girl next door! Who are we kidding?!"

"I don't know if you noticed, but we're married! We have a kid! I didn't just marry you to leave you! I love you! And I thought you would've learned by now I hate that word!"

"Well I thought you would've realized I didn't want this! I wanted a double feature with you! And to hang out in a booth at pops! Not these stupid balloons and streamers you set up to What?! Prove your a good wife?! That you care?! Well if you cared then you wouldn't throw a stupid party! Don't you learn from your mistakes?!"

"Well if your gonna be rude and yell at me In front of our child and friends you should go! Marry someone else if you think I'm such a bad wife then! I married you to marry you not to prove anything! Or to slum it with you! I thought you'd realize I love YOU! Not anybody else! So I'm tired of you accusing me of being a bad wife in front of our kid! So go! Marry someone else! What do I care if I'm such a bad wife!"

"Betts.."

"Don't Betts me! Leave!" He walked away and left. I broke down into tears.

"Betty I'm so sorry." Said Archie.

"B."

"Guys can you just go."

"But you shouldn't be alone right now." Said Veronica

"I just need some time. I'll call you if anything happens."

"Ok. Bye Betty." Said Archie.

"Bye b." Said v.

"Bye guys." They left and I was with Juliet. I picked her up and rested her on my hip. "What are we going to do Juliet?" I sighed. Juliet just reminded me of jughead. But I loved her even though I hated jughead right now.

"Dadda." She said.

"I know. I know. Dadda isn't here right now sweetie. I don't know where he is."

"Dadda." It broke my heart to see her say Dadda when Jug wasn't here. He always loved hearing her say that. He would get so excited.

"Ok Juliet. Time for bed." I put her in her little bed. I cuddled her up and went into my room. It was filled with pictures of Jug and I. It just smelled like him too. It felt wrong to not have him sleeping beside me. I decided to sleep with Juliet.

"Mama." I turned to her and she was standing. Not abnormal. But suddenly she took a few steps before falling back down. She seemed to have hurt herself though and she started to cry.

"Hey. Shhh. Shhh. It's ok Juliet. It's ok. Mama is here. I saw your steps. Your so good! Your so good Juliet!" I said tickling her. She giggled. I got into bed and she laid beside me. I realized I probably should call jughead. I mean Juliet just walked. After a few rings he picked up.

"Betty! Omg I'm so sorry! I completely overreacted! I don't know what I was thinking. You are so amazing. You're the best wife I could've ever asked for. And I'm sorry for yelling in front of Juliet. But if you are ok with it I was wondering if I could come home."

"Of course you can. And I'm sorry for throwing you a birthday party when I know you didn't want one. But the reason I called is because Juliet took some first steps!"

"Omg! That is so amazing! I'll be home in a few. I'm just at pops."

"See you soon love you."

"Love you too Betts." He hung up. I laid in bed with Juliet just thinking. What if he left me again? What if we argued again? Ugh. Soon enough I heard the door open. Jughead walked into our room but he walked into Juliet's. "Hi betts. Hi Juliet!"

"Dadda!" He lifted her up and held her to his chest. I smiled.

"I'm gonna head to bed. It's been a long day. Happy birthday Juggie."

"Betts. I'm sorry."

"It's ok Jug. I love you."

"Love You too."

"And I love you too Juliet." I Said tickling her. I went to our room and laid in bed. A few minutes later jug walked back in and laid beside me. Soon I drifted off to sleep.
