Chaper 59

Jellybeans PoV

" no no no no no no no no no! No your dead! No you died in the fire!" "We faked it peanut" he then reached out and cupped my face with his large hand. It was real, I wasn't dreaming or imagining this. He was alive and kicking. So I did what anyone would do in this type of situation...I screamed at the top of my lungs.

After I stopped screaming sweet pea came running down the stairs, fear across his face. That all changed when he saw who was now in the house by the door. "What the hell?..." "hey sweet pea" "get betty!"

Sweet peas PoV

"Alright" I run back up stairs I storm into Lilis room looking for Betty and she was there trying to calm lili down, she was scared because jellybeans screaming.

"What the hell was that?!" "Betty you need to see this! But give me lili" "okay, what's going on?!" "You wouldn't believe me if I told you" "try me!" "Hes back" "Who?! Who's back sweet pea?!" Betty yelled at me as she handed a crying lili to me. "...Fp. Fps back" "okay yeah funny sweets. Now really! What's going on?" "I'm serious Betty" "what? No I saw his body! He was dead!" "I know, I know but Betty I swear to god he's downstairs talking to Jellybean"

"I think I'm gonna be sick" Betty said and ran to the bathroom. "You okay cooper?" "I don't know" "why don't you go down and see him..." "...I don't know if can" "Of Course you can! Your the freaking serpent queen. You got this and I'll be right here next to you" "how do you feel about this? Is it really him?" "It's really him. I don't know yet, I'm still in shock, you know he was like a father to me..." I sad looking down at the now sleeping baby in my arms.

Betty's PoV

"Okay let's go" I said to sweet pea "you sure?" "Nope but...but I can't just stay up here" "Okay Betty, ill right here next to you" "thank you. Keep her close to you" I said looking at my beautiful baby girl "always" "okay lets do this" at that we start to walk downstairs. My heart was beating so fast I thought it was going to burst out of my chest.

We get down stairs and in the living room, sitting on the sofa, is Fp. Alive and well. Alive!

"Fp...?" "Hey darling" I had told sweet pea to stay on the stairs with lili, if it wasn't him and some kind of imposter I didn't want my baby anywhere near them. But...it was him. It was the man that had been more of a father to me then my own. It was the man I thought had died years ago, and now he was standing right in front of me, looking at me.

"How?...What?.....why?!" "...Betty we did it to protect you and jughead. There was already a target on your heads and...and we didn't want you guys getting hurt. We made a deal with the ghoulies. That we give our lives for yours" "but the Fire?" "We knew. We knew about the fire weeks before" "Why? Why would you do this to us?! To me? To Jellybean?! To jughead?!!! Your own son! Your own daughter!"

"You've  no idea how hard it was for us" "how hard it was for you?! Are you fucking kidding me? Fp jughead nearly died! I nearly died! I lost my baby girl! I nearly died! Losing you broke Jug. Losing both you and my mum broke me!" "You had a daughter?" "Yeah, chic beat me up pretty bad. I was in coma for 3 months, I was pregnant, we didn't know. We called Elizabeth Jones" "Betty I'm so sorry. We thought you'd be safe. You'd both me safe" "why now? Why come back now?" "Because it was time. We'd stayed away long enough"

Lili started crying so I walked up to sweet pea and took my crying baby girl off him and we both walked back downstairs. "I think she hungry" "yeah she normally is around this time sweets and you go get the blanket for me? I think it's in her room" "sure thing Cooper" "who's this?" Fp asked as I came and sat down on the arm chair and he sat next to jelly bean.

"This is Lili, my daughter" "you have another daughter?" "Yeah...she's a survivor" "Betty?" "She isn't jugs biologically but he's her father" "what happened?" "Long story short. I went to kill chic who we thought was the leader of the ghoulies. He kidnapped me and raped me. We didn't find out it was actually Archie that raped me and is the leader until she was born, in the middle of a ghoulie attack no less at the wyrm.

"He...he raped....he raped you?!" "Yeah, yea Fp" "Betty I'm so sorry" "me too but I wouldn't change what happened, if I did I wouldn't have this beautiful little girl in my arms right now" "Betty tell him her really name" Jellybean said "I'm confused" "Fp meet Forsythai Pendleton Alice Jones second. Lili Alice Jones for short"
