Betty POV

When I take the kids back to Jugs room Polly is just leaving. I walk over to her and we sit on the chairs just out side Jugheads room and talk for a little bit. Then she takes the kids in her car back to my house so they can have some lunch and so they can play somewhere other then a hospital room and so I can talk to Jug alone for a litter bit. I stand out side the door and take a deep breath and walk in I sit in the chair next to Jugheads bed and hold his hand.

"Hey Jug. I just want to say I love you know matter what and." I begging to tear up again "if you don't make it I want you to know that that fight won't be what I remember you but it will be by all the other memories all the good ones and the bad ones and all the times you where there and all the times you said you loved me and all the times you showed me you loved me. You gave me the best life I could ask for and you gave me 3 beautiful children and thousands of amazing unforgettable memories I will never forget. And if you don't make it I will tell the kids what a amazing,smart,caring guy you where and how much you love them.What I'm trying to say Jug is" I fell tears starting to run down my face. "If you need to let go....don't be afraid. I love you and the kids love you no matter what so...don't be afraid to let go. I love you." I squeeze his hand and kiss his head and when I sit back in the chair one of his mechanics start beeping then another then another and I begin to cry then a group of doctors and nurse swarm in and one of the doctors pulls me out of the room and sits me in the chair outside. I didn't know what was going on I start to panic. After about 15 minutes of sobbing the doctors come out off the room and one of the nurse stands in front of me.

"Mrs Jones?"

"Yes? How is he is he ok?" I day wiping my tears away

"He's awake and breathing on this own and he's asking to see you. But he's a little fragile so you have to be careful. It will take a couple hours before he has a lot of his strength back."

"Thank you."

I stand up and walks into the room and see Jughead sitting up slightly in the bed looking up at the ceiling. He didn't have the tube in his mouth anymore and he had less mechanics,wires and IVs on him.

"Juggie."I say in a soft voice he turns his head slightly and gives me a weak smile. "Betts." I walk over to him and hug him and he hugs back then I pull him into a long passionate kiss. I rest our heads against each other's.

"You can't scare me like that Jug. I thought I was going to lose you."

"You didn't think I was going away that easy did you."

"I love you." I say giving him another kiss

"I love you too. But I have one serious question though."

"What?"

"Did I really look like a robot." He says with a smile and a slightly laugh

"The kids thought so. They missed you." I say as a tear rolls down my cheek Jug pulls our heads away and reaches for my cheek and wipes my tear away with his thumb "Hey no more tears. I'm ok. And I don't want Polly to beat my ass."

He says making me chuckle. "Betty I'm sorry about what I said I didn't....." I cut him off before he could finish "No Jug it's ok I know your sorry."

"No Betty I want to explain it to you why I was mad anyway. Ok so 3 days ago I was at the garage with Fangs just finishing work when a woman came in and she wanted to talk to me. I didn't know who she was but she looked familiar then she told me it was my Mom. I haven't seen her since she left me and JB when we where kids. Anyway she wanted to talk to me because she want to be apart of mine and JBs life. I asked her why know and she said she's dying and wants to recommend with me. I asked her where she had been and apparently after she left me and JB with our alcoholic Farther she moved to Florida. Sh got married had 2 other kids. A boy and a girl. She said she's always wanted to reach out to me and JB but didn't know how. She relapsed us Betts. I told her I didn't want to talk to her and to get the hell out she left but just kept coming back. And it got me mad and that pathetically day she told me she want me to meet her other family and I was just mad and took it out on you and I'm sorry and thats why I've been working late."

"Oh Juggie. I'm so so sorry I didn't know and I don't know who in there right mind would or could replace you."

"I love you."

"I love you to Jug. The kids will be so happy to see you especially Blue." I say kissing him again I sit in the chair next to him holding his hand tightly.

"Come hear." He says patting the spot next to him "Jug are you sure?"

"I spent enough time away from you I want you right next to me."

I get up from the chair and before I sit down I say "I'm going to call Polly."

"Ok. Tell her I say hi."

I nod and walk out of the room and call Polly.

"Betty hey. Is everything ok?"

"He's awake."

"He is! That's amazing news!"

"Ye just don't tell the kids yet I want it to be a surprise. Can you bring them in about 2 hours?"

"Of course I can! Tell Jughead I said get well soon."

"I will and he said hi."

"Well I'll go get the kids ready soon. Bye."

"Bye." Is au then I hung up. I walk back into the room and sit next to Jug and hold his hand why resting my head on his shoulder and he rests his head on my head. We talk for a while until Jughead gets tired and want to sleep so I lay the bed down and sit in the chair so he has the full bed.
