B POV
I kept replaying Jughead's voicemail. He loves me. After everything I put him through, he loves me. I've been gone for 3 months, and I listen to the voicemail every night before I sleep.

"Ok, the baby looks healthy. Do you want to know what you're having?" the doctor asks. "Yes please." I reply. "It's a.............girl! Congratulations!" they say. "Thank you so much!" I exclaim. I head back to my apartment that I share with this girl named Cheryl. She said she was fine with me being pregnant. We were going through names, and jughead kept popping into my head. I should be doing this with him, not Cheryl. "Do you think I made a mistake by leaving?" I ask. "Do you miss them?" she asks. "More than I thought I would. I just, once I go back, everyone is going to hate me for leaving." I say, "plus I wanted to wait to go back until my little bug was bigger. I don't want her to be just born and going to a bar everyday. I would be fine with it if she was 2 or 3 but not newborn." I say. "If you love them, and they love you, I think you should go back. Don't worry about me. I'll come visit every once and a while. This child is my niece, even though we are not related." she says and we laugh. "Ok! I'm gonna go back!" I say.

FP POV
It was about 3:00 in the morning and someone was knocking on my door. I got up and saw Betty. "I'm dreaming." I whisper. "No. I'm here. I'm really here." she says, tears in her eyes. I hug her tightly. "3 months Betty! You could have gotten killed!" I exclaim when we break. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left. It's just that." she pauses, and I notice she's holding a hand to her stomach. "Are you....... pregnant?" I whisper and she slowly nods. "I'm gonna be a grandpa?" I ask. "Yes dad. You're gonna be a grandpa!" she laughs, tears rolling down her face. We talk for a while and she falls asleep in the spare room. I'm glad she's safe and home. Now I get to worry about her being here with my grandchild instead of somewhere hiding. I hope jughead gets out of the funk he's in, because Betty being back and pregnant, won't help with the stress if he's rude to her.

B POV
When I woke, it was 8 in the morning. I get up and Fp says. "How long did you ride that bike?" "A few hours. Why?" I ask, yawning. "Betty, you got here on Friday, it's Sunday." he says and my eyes widen. "Ummm. Ok. Wow. I need to go to the bar and look for jughead, and talk to the serpents, who all probably hate me." I say. "They don't hate you." he says. "Really? Because last time they saw me was about 4 months ago." I say. "Come on, I'll drive you to the bar." he says.

J POV
I was in the office and heard the microphone blare. I head downstairs to see why people are messing with it. I see Fp up on the stage, but I wasn't listening to him. "Jughead, are you listening to him?" I hear Toni say. "Nope. Why should I care?" I reply. "Well, idiot, it's about Betty." she says, making me scoff. She left and she's not coming back. She abandoned us. I look at the stage and low and behold, there stood the Betty Cooper. "Well, well, Well." I say to myself. I head back to the office and slam the door.

B POV
I saw jughead storm up to his office. Yep, he definitely hates me. "Go talk to him." Toni says. "Why should I? He hates me!" I say, "is my stuff still in his house, or did he throw it all away?" "He put it in a storage room." she says. "Great. I just need to get the room number, so I can move my stuff." I say. "Ok. Now go up to the office and talk with him." she says. I walk to the door and knock. "Come in." he yells. I see him staring at the computer. "Hi." I whisper. "Betty. Why are you back?" he asks. "I came up here because Toni told me you put my things in a storage room. I want my stuff." I say. "So you can run off again." he scoffs. "Yea jughead. So I can run off into the sunset with out you. Just give me the number so I can get my things please." I say. "Here." he says, shoving a piece of paper in my hands. "Thanks." I mumble. "Bye." he scowls at me. "Real mature jughead. Real mature." I say. "I'm not the one that left without an explanation." he says. "You want an explanation. Fine. Ask Fp. I'm threw with you! God, to think that for one second......... It's not even worth it. Good bye. You won't here from me again. I'm moving to the northside. Maybe I can have a decent life then." I scoff.

J POV
I find Fp. "Why is she back?" I growl. "What's your problem with her?" he snaps. "I'm not the one that left without a reason." I say. "She has her reasons. Don't come up to me and get mad because she left from all the stress." he says. "She told me she explained to you, and that if I wanted an explanation, to talk to you. So here I am." I say. "I don't have to explain my daughter to you. She left, and she's not coming back from the northside now. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to help her move her things into her house." he scoffs and makes his way to the door. I went back to the office and continued to work.

B POV
I thought I loved him, but I can't love someone who hates me so much. "What am I gonna do dad? I literally have no one. Jughead hates me because I left. I thought I loved him, but if he hates me, there's no point." I sob. "It's ok Betty. He doesn't know what you're going through. His ego is too big and his brain it to small." he says making me laugh. "So What do you think about my new place?" I ask. "It's nice. I just hope that you will be ok raising your child here by yourself." he says. "It's a girl, but I don't know what to name her. So far I just call her bug." I chuckle. "I don't know. Think long and hard about it. Then you come tell me." he says and I nod.
