“I told you that you were going to be ok,” The raven-haired man reassured stroking the little boy’s hair while his face could be found in his neck.

“It hurts,” He cried glancing up at his stepfather. “Why does it have to hurt so much?”

“Because it’s healing,” Sammy shifted on Jughead so that now he could be found sprawled out across his lap as if to get a better look at the man while talking.

“I’m sorry for almost stabbing you,” The young boy apologized never meeting the eyes he knew were trained on him. “I-I didn’t know what to do,”

“It’s alright… What matters is that we’re all alright,” Jughead and Sammy’s eyes both shot toward the door whilst it opened revealing Y/N standing there with a carrier in her hand no doubt carrying Dean in it.

She smiled brightly yet exhausted and anyone could see that she was already half asleep with her bloodshot eyes. “I finally got him in his carrier but now he’s mad about it,” Y/N laughed setting Dean on a chair with a sigh.

“Maybe he just missed me,” Sammy mumbled through a grin crawling over to Dean and playing around with him and that’s when his parents finally made eye contact after a couple of busy days practically being apart.

“Can we talk in the hall?” Y/N questioned thus earning a nod from Jughead who got up and held the door open for her and right when they were outside out of sight of Sammy she let the tears fall not caring who walked past in the long hallway.

“What’s wrong?” Jughead questioned concerned pulling her into his warm and safe arms. “I-I...I thought everything was fine now- I thought that we could finally be happy now,”

“How much money do you have saved up?” She asked causing his eyes to widen in fear of what she was implying.

“W-Why?”

“Just tell me… Please,” She pleaded to look up at him through her lashes something in which he loved.

“Well… Not alot- These bills are killing us,” Jughead sighed running a hand down his face.

“I want to move please tell me we have enough for that,” Y/N cried never meeting his eyes ashamed that this had brought her down as far as moving away and leaving everything she had ever known behind and more importantly leaving all of her good memories behind- Yet also the bad ones as well.

“Of course we don’t Y/N! We’re barely scraping by as it is… And why would we move I thought we liked it here!”

“But Archie-”

“He’s in jail he can’t hurt you anymore,” Jughead mumbled never meeting her eyes. “And… The serpents they need me,”

“I want to move Jug… I can’t stay here,” Suddenly she was out of his arms, her own crossed over her chest. “... Are you… Are you going to choose the serpents over me?”

“I didn’t say that,” The raven-haired man sighed. “You know I only see them three times a week as it is,”

“We can move far from here and not have to think about the past ever again… Never have to-”

“Why the hell would we move Y/N? Why would we move if we can’t afford it and everything that we know is here?”

“Because you’re right everything that we know is here… Archies trial is today the northside they’re mad and you want to know who they’re mad at? Me! Because I got their northside prince arrested!”

“I-I thought they didn’t care… I thought they knew that you play both sides that some people don’t pick either side-”

“Everyone thinks that I turned on Archie and now framed him for something that he didn’t do in order to be apart of the southside,” She explained fists balling up with anger.

“Well, what the fuck… Why the hell would they think that- He tried to kill Sammy remember?”

“Some people are saying that it was an ‘Act of self-defense’,” Y/N quoted a couple of tears escaping her eyes. “I don’t know what to do I just want to get out of here,”

“Where the hell are we supposed to go Y/N? With two kids? Without them I would have told you yes a million times but what about them… Sam gets motion sickness and Dean is only a year old how the heck are we supposed to just pack up and leave with them and still have any money?”

“You’re right… I’m sorry,” She whispered burying her head in his chest as he wrapped her in a hug.

“What are we supposed to do now?” She questioned a couple of minutes later whipping her tears away.

“Let’s go home,” And that was how all four of them ended up watching some kids movie laughing furiously at stupid jokes.

“It hurts when I laugh,” Sammy cried staring at the TV through wide eyes not able to help another laugh that escaped his lips.

“I’m sorry,” Y/N whispered stroking his cheek. “We can change it if you would like-”

“No… Look-” And that was when Sammy pointed at Dean in Jughead’s lap laughing furiously at the TV, his little laughs radiating the room.

The family ended up having a great night that night, everything falling back into place, everything going back to the way that it should be. However, they ceased to remember that they still happened to be in the town of Riverdale.

“Jug what are you doing?” Y/N questioned sitting up in bed through a yawn it was then that she realized that he was on the phone.

“Yes, JellyBean I’ll see you then,” The raven-haired man sighed never meeting the eyes he knew were on him. “Bye I love you too,” And that was when he hung up the phone the tears snaking down his face and the sobs beginning to wrack his body.

“Jug… Juggie what’s wrong?” Y/N aksed quickly becoming concerned crawling over to him across the bed and wrapping him a hug. “Jug look at me what’s wrong,”

“The serpents told me that somone put a hit out on me and now… And now and now-” He couldn’t get out the rest because his throat closed up in a sob and he placed his face in her neck in a sense to calm himself down however this time it didn’t work like it always does.

“Jug please talk to me,” She cried hating the way that whenever he cries she cries and vice-versa though Jughead is much better at comforting her then she’ll ever be to him.

“Then I got a call from Jellybean saying that our mother… She’s in the hospital,” He Cried jumping up from the bed and dashing toward the closet.

“Jug please she’s going to be alright-”

“She’s on the verge of dying Y/N… I have to go see her,” He whispered through a sigh packing many things all at once.

“Well, then I’ll go with you and-”

“As much as I would love you to come with me you can’t what about Dean and Sam we can’t possibly-”

“You’re right,” She whispered avoiding his gaze a tear escaping her eye. “I love you Jug,” She quickly jumped on top of her husband kissing him forcefully.

“I love you too,” And that was when they became separated once again.
