Chaper 48

Chapter 48

Third person PoV (time skip so Betty's 8 1/2 months pregnant)

"I don't care jughead!" "Betty come on! It's not that big of a deal!" Betty and jughead walk into bar screaming at each and everyone looks to see what's going on. "Betts calm down, they won't care-" "I don't care if they care or not jughead! I care!" "What's going on?" Sweet asks from behind the bar "just having a little disagreement sweets don't worry" Betty said "little? Really?! You've been screaming at me all morning about it!" Jughead says to Betty. "Go to hell!" Betty shouts back and storms off up stairs to the apartment and slams the door behind her.

"What the hell was that about?" Veronica walks over to jughead at the bar. "It's literally so stupid" jughead says "well...?" Sweet pea asks "we thought we'd have the Morning to ourselves, I made her breakfast in bed, we took a bath together and it was old times" jughead sighs "but then when we get ready to leave she gets in this awful mood all because her serpent jacket doesn't fit her anymore. The arms are a little tight and she can't get it to go even slightly around her and because she's been on bed rest she's not had to wear it. I tried to comfort her and tell her that it would be okay and you guys wouldn't care if she wear it or not" "Course we wouldn't!" Sweet pea says now walking out from behind the bar. "She was like this when we went clothes shopping. She broke down in the car because non of the maternity clothes we could find looked 'serpent leader' enough" "I got this one" fangs said walking up to the apartment to find Betty.

Betty's PoV

Once I got to the apartment I broke down crying my eyes out. I look like a whale, a big, fat ugly whale! And not even being able to wear my serpent jacket...it just made me more upset. I know it's not a big deal but it is to me, it shows that I'm a serpent. A little while later Fangs comes up looking for me.

"Betty? You in here?" "Sofa" I said calmly. "Wanna tell me what's wrong?" "Did jug send you up here?" "No, no Betty I came on my own. He told us what happened this morning and I know you better than that so what's really wrong?" "...I'm scared. I'm so scared Fangs" "scared of what hun?" "Of everything! The fact that this baby is half ghoulie and half serpent. That the serpents might not all welcome her. That jugheads gonna wake up one day and leave because it's not his baby. That fact that we've heard nothing from the ghoulies since they were last here and that didn't go well! And I'm just waiting for chic to get me, he's gonna kill me or worse and I'm not gonna see my little girl grow up..." "Betty that's not going to happen okay-" "but what if Chic gets her?! What if he takes her away from us fangs!" I say as I start to breathe deeply and I can't control my breathing. "Okay Betty look at me....easy Betty easy...copy my breathing okay...Betty you need to copy my breathing your having a panic attack okay?...in and out. Big deep breathes. In and out slowly" he says as I try to copy his breathing.

It takes a while before I can control my breathing and fangs really helped me. It felt so good to get everything off my chest. "You okay?" "I am now. Thank Fangs" "no problem Betty, and hey. Nothing is going to happen to you, to the baby, to Jug or any of us alright. So stop worrying about it, chics not getting anywhere near you or the baby. We'll make sure of that"
