Work It Out ~ Bughead

Chapter 17

Betty POV

I was let out of the hospital at about 5:46 I got Veronica and Kevin to drop me off at home. I walk up the stairs and unlock the door. I walk in and lock the door. I walk into mine and Jugheads room and see him laying on the bed in nothing but his sweatpants on and with Ryden laying soundly on his chest as Jughead holds him tight. It makes me smile. He really loves Ryden. I know he blames himself for us losing the baby. It hurts but I think in time we could probably try again. But I think at the moment I just need time. I slide into the bed next to them and wrap my arms around him and Ryden. Jug automatically wraps my arms around me and pulls me close to him. I drift off to sleep on the safety of my family's arms.

Jughead POV

I wake up to seeing Betty curled into my side and Ryden still in my chest. I'm happy she's home. I was really worried about her I kiss her head.I get up trying not to wake Betty up. I take Ryden and change his diaper and now that he's fully awake into the kitchen and put him in his high chair. And make him some oatmeal. I sit in a chair in front of him and begging to spoon feed him his breakfast. Once he's finally eaten it all I put him in his play pen in the living room so he can play for a while why I make me and Betty breakfast. While I'm making them I hear Betty say.

"Hey" I turn around and smile at her. I quickly plate up the pancakes and walk over to her and pull her into a long passionate kiss.

"Hey. Are you ok?"

"Yes Jug. Just you know still a bit upset."

"It's going to be ok Betty." I say pulling her close to me.

"Jug. I heard you in the hospital. I wanted to have Ryden and the baby we lost so it's not your fault. And you may be in a gang but I don't care and Ryden loves you and you clearly love him. Ok. So we need to stop blaming ourselves for stuff we can't control."

"Ok. I love you."

"I love you too." She says going on her tip toes and kissing me.

Then Ryden throws his toy across the floor.

Betty POV

Ryden throws his toy across the floor. After I kiss Jug. I turn to him and walk over to his play pen what're he's holding onto the side. As I reach him I see him smiling as kicking his legs. I pick him up and kiss his chubby cheek. "I love you too Ryden" I say

Me, Jug and Ryden spend the whole day in our PJ's and just having a family day. I really needed it. I need time to just cherish what I have. I lost a part of me last night/Morning But one day I need to move on but I will never forget.
