Serpent By Blood

32

Bettys POV:
I'm nine months pregnant, engaged and only 18 years old. As if right now the baby will stay in Cheryl's house along with me and Jughead until we find a place to call home. Juggie moved in about a month ago when it was getting closer to the due date. I rolled over in bed and checked the date, February 15th  5 days after  I was supposed to go into labor but also the day that Heather was moving to Riverdale. It will definitely be a stressful week between the expectancy of the twins and Heather coming to Riverdale even though Cheryl still hadn't told Toni. The serpents were exited about the babies but my mother wants me to become serpent queen soon after I have them even though I'm not ready. It was everything I wanted when I was 15 but my life has changed dramatically. I used to be a badass who didn't give a shit about my life because I was so broken. I wanted to be in charge of the serpents, to lead the serpents and feel in control, except now...now I'm in control of my life and I'm happy. I don't even truly want to be a serpent because it would be bad for my children but once your a serpent, your always a serpent. I had decided to do my senior year online for awhile, at least until the babies are born. I got up and hobbled over to the living room to be greeted by the love of my life and a very anxious Cheryl. I sat down on the recliner and joined into Cheryl and Jugheads conversation. Jughead had became close friends with both Jason and Cheryl since he moved in. "Oh Betty thank god, tell me what to do, Jughead here doesn't know how girls worry about stuff like this." He placed his hand over his heart and faked a hurt face. "Shut up, you know it's true."
"Cher, I honestly just think you should do whatever your heart leads you to, and if you need to than date em' both, unless of course-" Betty was interrupted by a doorbell that was presumably pressed by Heather. Cheryl got up and began pacing and breathing heavily. "I-I'm not opening that damn door! Someone else do it, I need to calm myself down." She ran into the bathroom and Jughead got up, kissed me on the forehead and answered the door. She walked through the door and I was surprised by how pretty she was. She had dark brown hair with highlights and it was thick and curly. She was wearing maroon colored vans with a race car shirt and maroon pants. (I'm thinking someone like Alisha Boe)
"Cheryl is in the bathroom." Jughead cleared. Heather looked like she felt super awkward, she had her suite case  in one hand and her other resting on her forearm. Her lips were purses and she was looking around the room. "Nice house." She said biting her lip. I felt a pain in my stomach and lower abdomen. "Juggie." I gulped and moved my body around until I felt a burst. "Juggie, my water just broke!" Heather was freaking out, running around and Jughead was no better. "Cheryl get in here, the babies are coming!" Jughead screamed and Cheryl came running. "Juggie get the bag!" Everyone was scrambling around the room and I was almost falling over at the sudden pain, and that was surprising because I could take almost any pain you threw at me. Once everybody slowed down Jughead and Cheryl helped me out to the car while Heather was frantically asking if she could do anything to help.

When I got in the hospital room I was almost ready to have them, as long as they were in the correct position. "Can I push!?! I feel like I need to push!" I was sweating and Jughead was being an amazing person to me, he was holding my hand and with his freehand he was pushing the hair out of my face and wiping the sweat off of my face. "Oh Jesus can I push!" I scream at the nurse. "Yes mrs...cooper you can push."  I was relieved and I started pushing. It was instinct but that didn't help that it hurt like hell. After what felt like forever the first baby was born, it was a boy. He was perfect, he had tiny blonde hairs across his head and his face was scrunched up as he was crying. "I don't know if I can do this again." I was in denial, I didn't think I could do it and I was freaking myself out. "You can do this betts, I know it hurts but it'll be worth it in the end." His soothing voice somehow gave me the will to keep pushing and pushing and pushing. Soon after my little baby girl was born. She looked nothing like her brother, instead of blonde hairs she had black and she seemed to be the calmer one out of the Two. As I lay in bed in pain they clean up the babies and hand them to me. "What should we name them?" I ask Jughead. He takes a look at our baby girl first. "Jamie?" I shook my head. "Alice?"
"After my mother? No way!"
"Chloe?"
I loved it.
"Chloe it is! How about Chloe Marie, Chloe Marie Jones!" I smiled to myself knowing that we had one name down. "And for the boy?" I say exaggerating the and. "You chose his, I chose Chloe's."
Maybe his name should start with a J because we're definitely not doing Forsythe but maybe something similar to Jughead.
Jacob? No.
Jeremy? Still no.
Jared? Why can't I think of any good names that start with J? And then it hit me.
"Jackson!" I say aloud. "It's perfect, how about Jackson Avery Jones?" ( A/N if you get that I love you 😘)
It was perfect, I had my two innocent babies, Chloe Marie Jones alongside Jackson Avery Jones...now the only other Jones we need right now is...me!

A/N I really loved writing this chapter and I feel like I should end this book soon, I'm going to definitely make them get married and I may set up a way to have a sequel or something like that. Anywho love y'all, ✌️ peace.
