As the doctor scanned Alice's abdomen for a heart beat Betty could tell it was pointless.
"Miss I am so sorry, I will be back once she wakes up to break the news." The doctor said before stepping out of the room. Betty couldn't believe what just happened. Her mothers baby was gone.
Her and Jug both looked at each other and for the first time Jug began to cry as well. As much as this whole shared sibling with your girlfriend is weird, it is going to kill him when he sees his father next. He can't be the one to tell him.
Betty and Jughead sat in nothing but silence and the sound of their tears till they heard Alice stirring.
"Mom." Betty said quietly standing up. She slowly went over to the edge of the bed and held her mothers hand.
"Jug go get the doctor please." Betty said quietly holding back tears.
"Betty... whats wrong?" Alice asked quickly noticing her daughters tears. Bettys glance went from her mothers eyes to her stomach and back. Alice quickly looked down and her heart sunk.
"No. Oh please no," Alice said pulling the sheets off herself and exposing her purple, blue, black, and yellow bruised abdomen. "No!" Alice yelled placing both her hands on her stomach and beginning to cry.
"I'm so sorry mom." Betty said pulling her mother into a hug. But it was no use at this point. Alice couldn't control it anymore. She started sobbing hysterically.
She was throwing her fists into the sides of the bed and squirming to get out of her daughters grip.
"Mom please." Betty pleaded with her mother. The doctor came rushing in and placed her hands on Alice's wrists.
"Ma'am please calm down." The doctor pleaded.
"No!" Alice yelled unable to control her sobs and falling into the bed. She slammed her head back into the pillow and began hyperventilating staring at the ceiling.
"I-I-I need him now!" Alice yelled in-between sobs.
"Mom we can't." Betty said crying now. Jug pulled Betty into the corner stood both in horror at the sight of everything. He had never seen anyone so broken. He thought he had seen his father broken, but this was a whole new kind of destroyed.
"Ma'am please stay calm." The doctor said once again. Alice was unable to calm down and the doctor quickly pulled a syringe out of her lab coat. She stuck Alice's thigh with the needle and Betty stood in horror.
"What the hell!" Betty yelled.
"Its to calm her down," The doctor explained.
"she can't be in a state like this while having a mild concussion."
"Fine." Betty said wiping tears away and curling into Jugs chest. Alice quickly calmed down but was still sobbing.
"Ms. Smith, you have miscarried. I am sorry." The doctor said and Alice couldn't respond. She just sobbed still staring at the ceiling and gripping onto the rails on the side of the bed.
"Mom please say something." Betty said after watching her mother continue to cry for minutes.
"Ms. Smith if you want we can give you some pain meds to help." The doctor said which finally made Alice reply.
"No. I don't want pain meds. I want my... baby." Alice said looking at the doctor finally.
"Ma'am once again, I am very sorry." The doctor said.
"Just leave...Now!" Alice yelled.
"Mom it's going to be okay." Betty said going back over to her mother and slowly gripping her hand again.
"No it's not. Don't even try to reason with me." Alice said turning her face away from her daughter.
The three of them spent the rest of the day in the hospital sobbing. Alice couldn't do anything but sob holding her stomach. Nurses came in constantly to change her fluids and offer food. But Alice was way to depressed to eat anything.
All she wanted was FP and nothing could change that. Betty and Jug stayed by her side holding each of her hands. Betty broke the silence after a few hours by asking "Mom is there anything we can do?"
"I want my baby," Alice said beginning to sob.
"I want FP, I want my mom, I want my life back, and more than anything... I want to die. I don't want to feel this pain anymore." Alice said breaking both Betty and Jugs heart even more.
"Mom please don't talk like that. We will get FP out of prison I promise, and the we can get you meds for the pain." Betty said looking at Jug who she could tell was already coming up with a plan.
"The pain is to much for any amount of medication to help." Alice said and continued to cry for a few more hours.
Alice finally fell asleep and Betty and Jug left the room. "Betty we need to get my dad out of jail, like now." Jug said sounding hurt, but determined. "I know Jug, but how?" Betty asked.
"I don't know yet. But we need to do it very soon, we can't help your mom right now. But my dad can."
"I wish I could do something to take her pain away." Betty said crying into Jugs chest. "I know Betts. We will figure it out I promise." He said kissing the top of her head.
Betty lifted her head and she a small smile crept across her lips. "Betty? Are you okay?" Jug asked very confused at her change in emotion.
"I know how to get your dad out of jail!" Betty exclaimed as she grabbed Jugs hand and pulled him down the hall.
