Work It Out ~ Bughead

Chapter 10

Betty POV- 1 and 1/2 months later- Betty is eight and a bit months pregnant.

The only thing I've heard from Jug was a letter with no return address on it so I couldn't send him on back. But I'm glad I know he's ok at least. He always seems to make a point of saying how much he loves me like when we last spoke and in the letter which tells me leaving wasn't something he wanted to do or at least not a decision he took lightly. The letter said.

Dear, Betts

I just want to say I love you and Ryden and hope you are both doing well. I miss you like crazy and cannot wait to see you which should be soon hopefully. I love you two so so so much its hard for me to tell you how much I never thoug I could love two people so much one of which isn't even born yet. I hated leaving you and our little man but I can assure you it was and is to keep you two safe. I hope you opened the bag that was in the closet and hope you liked it. I can't believe that soon we are going to have a little baby boy to look after and to be apart of our lives.

You probably have better things to do right now then read a letter so I will let you go. I hope to see you soon and when I do I got something to show you. It's for you and Ryden. God he's not even born yet and he's being spoilt. I love you two so much.

Love Jughead
( The boyfriend of the most beautiful woman in the world. And the soon to be farther of the most handsome little man in the world)

That letter was sent nearly half a month ago.

I was sat on the couch watching for V to come back with Chinese food and for Sweat-Pea to come back with the cookies and pistachios because he bought the wrong ones which isn't unlike him. I hear a key in the door and hear people walking in I was walking out of the hall from where the bathroom is to where the living room is. And before I enter the living room shout "I swear to god Sweet-Pea if you got the wrong cookies again I'm going to shove them where the sun don't shine."

Then I hear a familia voices shout "Ye honestly sweets who do you get white chocolate chip cookies wrong." I walk into the leaving room and am met with Jughead standing there with the exact cookies I wanted. I run (more of a fast walk) into his arms and he wraps his muscle arms around me why I cry into his shoulder I can't believe he's finally here.

"I missed you so much."

"I missed you too. And by the way Sweat-Pea is fucking useless at shopping for anything other then beer and takeout." I say I pulling him into a long passionate kiss which turns into a mini make out session until Sweet-Pea says

"What can I say I'm not good with pregnant people."

We both laugh why Jug keeps me close to his chest why keeping one hand on my stomach. Then Ryden starts to kick Jugs hand.

"Oh and I missed you to." Jug says kneeling down and plants little kissing on my stomach. And then Veronica walks in making Jughead jump up and pull me close to him in a protective way.

"Jug. You ok?"

"Ye I'm fine Betts just a little alert still."

I nod and we go and eat the Chinese Ronnie brought. And it turns out Sweet-Pea and Veronica both new Jug was coming back to day and didn't say anything. Any way when we've eaten and me and Jug are changed we go and lay down on the bed and cuddle. But a notice Jug has a tshirt on and he never has a tshirt on in bed.

"Jug I need answers."

"I know you do and you deserve them. What do you want to know?" We separate so we are next to each other.

"Why you had to leave me. Us! I thought you loved me and Ryden but then you just call one day and say your not coming home and I don't get a proper answer or even a proper goodbye! Jug I would have maybe tried to have understood if you would have talked to me!"

"I know and I'm sorry I didn't think I would be gone for a month and a half!"

"Why? Why did you leave? Where you trying to run away from us? Because Jug I know being a dad scares you but you don't think in not scared! I know you say you love me and I love you but when you left it didn't feel like I was loved one bit." I say trying to hold back tears

"I am scared Betty shit scared that one day I will wake up and be just like my dad! I'm scared one day you will wake up look at me and realise I'm just a worthless ass just like my dad! My mum did! She woke up one morning and know matter how many times she told me she loved me i never felt loved and then she woke up one morning realised what I was and my dad was and left! My dad blamed me and you know what it probably was! I destroy everything i touch" he says raising his voice

"Jug listen to me. You are not your farther and it is not your fault your mother left it was your dads and he needed someone other then himself to push the blame onto.And I will not wake up one morning and leave. I promise you. I love you and you know why I won't leave? Because I wake up every morning wrapped in the man I loves arms and realise how lucky I am to have you. Then I look down and see I'm having his baby. I'm surprised you don't leave me! That's why when you called I thought that was it that one day I would have to explain to Ryden that his daddy left because his mother was worthless. God Jug you said I was!"

"Betts. I could never leave you forever. I left because the Ghoulies threatened you and Ryden. They said if I didn't leave then I could kiss seeing you two alive goodbye! And Betts I was angry at myself and confused and in disbelief that this beautiful, smart, kind, loving woman was pregnant with my child. I'm sorry I called you worthless. Your anything but worthless Betty I would die 1000 times if it meant you and Ryden would feel a thing but happiness for the rest of your lives.I would do it without ever looking back."

"God I love you Jug. Thank you. I had know idea that's what you where doing was to keep us safe. But if this ever happens again please talk to me. Ok?"

"Ok. I love you and Ryden so much I really didn't want to leave. I'm a man I will admit it I cried after I hung up when I first called."

"I love you too." I pull him into a passionate kiss and then it goes all the way form there.

(I'm not writing smut right now it's to early in the morning.)

And after our late night love making we fall asleep in each other's arms. But the thing that confused me was Jug kept his shirt on the hole time.
