Of course.." She whispers, putting a hand on her stomach. "When are you planning on telling him?" I babble, smiling. "I'm not sure. Maybe today. I feel ready."

We walk out the washroom, huge smiles on all our faces. I watch as Veronica grabs Reggie by the arm and takes him into the student lounge, which I'm guessing was empty. I was in pure shock that Veronica was pregnant. With Reggie's baby as well. How does she handle this so well? She came back with a concerned, and slightly confused looking Reggie. He didn't seem afraid, or angry which were the emotions I had been expecting. "So.. How'd it go?" Cheryl asks, running a hand through her red hair. "Great. He took it well, and is going to help me out along the process."
"V, are you sure your okay? Isn't this a little bit much? With getting pregnant, and telling the father right away?" I question, anxious. "You've got nothing to worry about B! I'm just really excited about having this child." She exclaims, smiling.

- 3 WEEKS LATER -

Many things have changed the past few weeks. Jughead has begged numerous times for me to forgive him, but failed each and every time. Veronica has the tiniest baby bump, and still hasn't told her strict parents, Hermione and Hiram Lodge. Cheryl, V and I have been closer than ever! Cheryl has also scolded Toni for cheating, and now their on horrible terms. Screaming at each other every time they cross paths. At least Jughead and I don't fight. We just completely stopped talking.

This was the first time I actually felt alone. Sitting on my bed, without him. Without the person who gave me hugs and kisses. Who cheered me up when I was in despair. He was the person that I came to when I had a problem, or a question. I loved Jug with all my heart, but I guess he didn't appreciate it.

Right after I had my last thought, the song "Lollipop" sung from my phone. "Hello?" I ask, slightly tired. "Betty, it's me." Says a familiar deep voice. "What do you want Jughead?" I hiss, staring out at the dark sky. "I know I fucked up Betty. It was right after you left for that trip to New York with Veronica, and I was upset, and drunk. Toni offered for me to come over, and since I didn't understand what was happening, I agreed. Next thing I knew, I woke up her bed." He pauses, "Please Betty, forgive me."

I didn't know what to say, or what to do. "Jug, you broke my heart." I snap. "I know I did, and that's unforgivable. But if you give me another chance, I'll make it up to you... Please.."
This is when I made a huge mistake.
"Fine. Come over, we'll talk." I say.

He arrived in half an hour. We had a deep conversation about our feelings. Then it became emotional, and I cried quite often. We kissed, and I think you can imagine the rest.

Next thing I was aware of was laying in bed naked, next to Jughead Jones. "Fuck Jug. What did we do?" I ask, confused. He shrugs, "What should I do?" "Get out, before my mom sees you." I whisper. He jumps from the bed, puts in his clothes, and sprints away. "I'm such an idiot." I say, under my breath.

I didn't tell the girls anything. It was something I was ashamed about, and I just wanted to let it go. After a little while, I started having strange symptoms. Nausea, vomiting.. That is when I realized, he didn't have a fucking condom. I ran out of my house, to the store a few blocks down, purchased a few pregnancy tests, and ran back home. Then, it was the two minutes of worries. Who would I tell? Would I raise the baby alone? I started becoming more anxious by the second. The timer was up, and I looked at both of the sticks.

"Two lines.." I slump down, back against the bathroom wall. My head tightly held in my hands. I'm not sure how long I sat in this position, but when I came out of the small room, it was already mid-day.

"What do I do now?" I think, running my hand through my long, blonde hair. I felt like I was bound to tell Veronica and Cheryl. So, I dialled up their number, and in no time we were sitting in a neat circle on my floor. "Are you okay, B?" Asks Veronica, noticing my anxious expression. "No.. I'm not. A few weeks ago, I lost control and Jughead and I had sex." I pause, not daring to look up at their faces. "Betty, it's okay. Everyone makes mistakes." Reassured Cheryl. "That's not all." I whisper, staring at them. "I'm pregnant." I blurt out, wondering what their reaction will be. "Oh my gosh!" Screams Veronica, a huge smile on her maroon lips. "We're both teenage mothers now." She adds on, bringing me into a hug. "That's amazing, Betty!"  Congratulates Cheryl, joining the warm embrace.
