B POV
"What's wrong?" I ask. "Nothing. I just need to get some work done." he says. "Ok." I say, setting Scarlett back in the car seat. There's a knock on the door. "Come in." he says. "Boss. Tallboy is stirring up trouble." Sweet pea says. "Of course he is. I don't know why my father let him join thisgang." I fume. "Calm down queen." Sweet pea says. I glare at him and he takes a step back. "Also...... there is a northsider in the bar." he finishes. "Great! Just great!" I storm out of the room and down the stairs. I see Veronica trying to get information out of Mustang. "What do you think you're doing in my bar?" I yell. The room falls silent. "I just wanted some answers." she stutters. I see some fear in her eyes. "My gang doesn't rat me out." I say. They all nod in agreement. Everyone except for Tallboy. "You may be queen, but you left us for over a year." Tallboy says. "Why don't you talk to the king about that then. I'm busy right now." I snap at him. "Yes queen." he says and goes up the stairs. I turn my gaze back to Veronica. "I thought you were from the northside." she says. "I'm not even from Riverdale. I lived on the south side, but now I have my daughter and we live on the northside." I say. "Where are you from?" she asks. "None of your business. You're probably gonna go tell your daddy all about this little chat. You can tell him, that I said to keep his nose from my business." I say. "Are you even Betty Cooper?" she asks. I let out a harsh laugh. "Nope. I suggest you run back home before I go upstairs. The serpents don't like northsiders, and aren't afraid to get blood on their hands." I say and she runs out the bar, making all the serpents laugh. Sweet pea comes downstairs with Scarlett. "What's going on up there?" I ask. "They're fighting and I didn't want her to wake or get hurt." he says. "Keep her down here." I say and head up the stairs.

J POV
Tallboy stormed into the office and sweet pea left with Scarlett. He was yelling and I was just leaned back in the chair ignoring him. "I should've just joined the ghoulies." he growls. "Then Why didn't you?" Betty asks. I look around him, and see her leaned against the door frame. He turned and glares at her. She scowled right back. "What makes you think you can come up here yelling, while my daughter is asleep." I say. "She shouldn't be here in the first place." he says. "Are you calling MY daughter a mistake?" I ask. "Yes." he says. "She is the princess. I suggest you respect her, even if she is a baby, because of the looks of it, the Queen looks like she's gonna shoot you." I say. He turns and sees Betty with her gun drawn. "She is not a mistake." she growls, cocking the gun. He turns back to me. "You're really gonna let her shoot me?" he asks. "I don't control the queen. She does what she wants. If she wants to shoot you for being a jerk, about her child, I'm not going to stop her." I say.

B POV
"So what's it gonna be princess?" he asks. "I'm the queen. The princess is downstairs. Say hi to Alice and Hal." I say before I shoot him. I glare at the body and place my gun on his desk. He pulls me into his lap and says, "you ok?" "I'm fine." I reply. He kisses my cheek. "I'm done for the day. We can go back to your house or mine." he whispers. "Ok. You probably need some clothes." I say. We head downstairs and find sweet pea. "Where's Scarlett?" I ask. Fp turns and hands her to me. "Thank you." I say and head to the car.

J POV
"What happened up there? We heard a gunshot." Fp says. "Tallboy called Scarlett a mistake and Betty shot him." I reply. "He called that little angel, my granddaughter, a mistake?" he asks and I nod. "His body is still up there, and I'm going to take Betty home. She looked furious." I say. "Please watch her." he says. "Of course." I say and head out to the car.

I pulled up at my house and got a bag. I get back in the car and go to Betty's house.

B POV
I head inside and feed Scarlett. She fussed a little when she's done. I bounce her, and she fusses more. "Shhhh. It's ok munchkin." I coo. I kiss her head and coo at her. "Here. Let me take her. You need to clean up." Jughead says softly. I nod and place her in his arms. She quiets down and I head to the bathroom. I take a quick shower and head back to the living room. Jughead was asleep on the couch with Scarlett on his chest.
