It had been a few weeks since I lost the baby, no one looked at me the same, Instead of fear and respect in their eyes, It was worry and sadness, The past few weeks I wore nothing but oversized hoodies and leggings, I wasn't myself, and I haven't seen Jug much either, today, I'm gonna stop moping, my baby wouldn't want me to,

I got dressed into a black crop top, leather jeans and ankle boots, I put a fishtail in my hair while leaving some down and did a dark makeup look,
I picked up my jacket and left my apartment,
I walked into the wyrm and all eyes were on me "Hey," Cheryl said in a dull tone "Hey Cher," I smiled "Everything okay?" She asked "Yes, I have realised that while I may be hurt I can't keep moping, it will only hurt myself," "Ok," she said with a sad smile, I walked towards the bar, "Hey Toni, how's the shift?" She went to say something but I saw Cheryl shake her head out of the corner of my eye "Great actually," she replied smiling, "Good can I have a pint of beer?" She nodded "Betts, how are you?" I heard Jugheads voice I turned around and kissed him gently "I missed you," I say cupping his cheeks "I missed you too," He replied, I kissed him again, "I will be right back," I say before walking towards the stage
"Everyone," i say into the microphone, everyone's head snaps to me "The past few weeks have been a little hard for me, as you all know, however while I'm still hurt and upset over the situation, I am back to being the me before this happened," everyone cheered "Now while you guys may still feel the need to ask if I'm ok, I wanna let you guys know now I am, i don't wanna be bombarded with questions, Ok?" Everyone Nodded "Thank you,"
I walked towards Jughead wrapping my arms around him "Heartwarming speech," a familiar voice said, I tensed up in Jugheads arms before releasing him and turning around "Long time no see," she said "Nice to see you too Mom," I replied "So, serpent?" She said "Yea I have a family now," The door to the bar opened and I turned my head to see Polly with two toddlers and Chic behind her "Mom, are you serious?" Polly said I felt my eyes sting with tears "Polly? Chic?" I ran over to them engulfing them in a hug, tears now streaming down my cheeks "Hi Betty," Chic said "OMG I missed you guys so much!" I say hugging them tighter "We missed you too," I pulled away, and felt a hand grip my stomach, I turned to see Jug,
"Your mom got angry and left it was kinda funny actually," He said "Shut up," I laughed pushing his chest playfully, "Are you guys busy?" I asked wiping my tears away, "No but if you don't mind can we talk somewhere else, I have juniper and dagwood with me," I felt a few tears come to my eyes, I could have been a mother "Its ok baby," Jug said kissing my head "Yea we can go to my apartment," I said holding back the tears
"Ok, and you," Chic said pointing to Jughead "Are coming too," "I was gonna come anyway," Jughead said with a laugh,
I unlocked the apartment door and we all walked in, it was a mess, there were food packets everywhere and clothes on the floor "Sorry about the mess, I have had a rough few weeks," I said embarrassed
We Sat on the sofa me next to Jug and Polly next to Chic and the twins "So these are the infamous twins?" I say with a broken smile "Yea, Juniper Dagwood, this is your Aunt Betty," she said, they jumped off the sofa and hugged me "I'm Juniper," the little girl said "I'm Dagwood," the boy said before they ran back to their seat, I felt tears in my eyes, "Betty are you Ok?" Chic asked "Yea I'm fine," I say wiping the single tear, Jughead put his arm around me, kissing my head "So how is life?" Polly asked "It sucks," I said with a sad laugh "I think the only good things are the serpents and Jug, Cheryl, Toni and Ronnie," I say
"So, you two?" Chic asked "Were dating, at least I think we are, I have been out of it the past few weeks since..." "Since what?" Polly asked intrigued "Since I got pregnant," I say with tears in my eyes, Pollys and Chics faces lit up "And lost it," I said solemnly "Oh God Betty," Polly said pulling me into a hug "I'm fine, honestly, today is the first day I haven't moped around," "Anyway before this gets too depressing, you have changed a lot!" Chic said with a laugh "I mean we wouldn't catch you in a crop top, let alone, that," He said "Yup," I say with a laugh
We talked the night away before everyone left, and I fell asleep in Jugheads arms
