*Jughead's POV*

We both woke up around the same time. I looked deeply into Betty's eyes and stroked her hair out of her face. "Morning baby." She giggles and edged a little closer. "Morning? What time is it?" I turned away and looked at the clock next to me. "1:30" Betty sighed. "We should get ready to go home." I kissed her nose. "You sure?" I lay on my back and pulled her to my chest. "I just wanna be at home and lay with you and my baby." I kissed her forehead and got out of bed. I had some grey sweats on with no shirt. Betty looked at me and smirked as I walked into the bathroom.

*time pass- 1hr*

Me and Betty just got out of the car at Veronica's. Our hands locked together and we walked up to the door. Their doorman greeted us with a warming smile. "Good afternoon." "Afternoon Smithers." We walked through the open door and Betty squeezed my hand tightly. "What's up?" She had a shaky tone in her voice. "I just know that when I see her... all this guilt inside me." I stop the both of us and hold Betty's face in my hands. "I bet you'll feel a rush of happiness. Trust me." I lent down to kiss her which lasted a few seconds. "I love you." "I love you too Betty." We continue walking up to Veronica and Archie's place. Betty knocked on the door before Veronica opened it. They leapt into each other's arms so I squeezed past them and went into the apartment. I said hi to Archie and he gave me Juliet to me. After a few minutes, the girls broke apart and Betty turned to face me.

*Betty's POV*

I turned away from Veronica to see Jughead holding Juliet. She was swaddled in a white, fluffy blanket and her little toes were poking out of the bottom. I walked over to them and pulled the blanket away a little. I kissed her forehead and stroked her cheek. Jughead was right, I only felt happiness when I looked at her. Jug gave Juliet to me. I held her up close to my chest . Archie placed his hand on my shoulder. "We'll leave you three alone." I smiled at him as they walked off into their room. We sat down on the couch and I was holding her like I've never held a baby before. My body was tense. Jug placed his finger under my chin and gently turned my head towards him. A tear fell down my cheek so he wiped it away. "Betty. Relax. She's your daughter, I'm here. Your gonna be okay." I kissed him and then turned to face my baby. I held her on my lap, my hands under her head. My body relaxed and I lent down to kiss her nose. "Hi Juliet." Her little face gave off a smile before she dozed back into a sleep. Jughead rested his head on my shoulder. "She's perfect." "I know baby." He kissed my temple. He began stroking my hair before he got up. "I'm just gonna go to the bathroom." I smiled at him before he walked away. I looked at Juliet and smiled so widely. Her beautiful, brown eyes flickered open and just stared at me. I moved the blanket away from her face and body so she was just laying on it. I lay back into the corner of the couch and held Juliet in my arms. Her eyes were still beaming and gave me a smile every now and then. I placed my finger in her little hand and she squeezed it. "Hi little baby. Hi little baby." I felt my eyes tearing up. "Your so beautiful." I felt two hands on my shoulders. "Your beautiful too." I turned round to see Jughead stood behind me. He started to fiddle with my hair. "How are you feeling?" "Good." "Fancy relaxing at home with Juliet and the meeting up with Veronica and Archie for dinner?" "Sounds perfect." He leans down to peck my lips before leaving the room. "I'm going to get the car warmed up." I smiled and got up from the couch. I swaddled Juliet in her blanket as I walked over to their bedroom. I knocked on the door and walked in. "We're gonna head home now but we were wondering if you wanted to meet for dinner later." Veronica jumped up. "Sounds great." She gave a loving look at Archie . "We have something to tell you but we'll wait till dinner." "Ok." She gave me a tight hug and the kissed Juliet in the head. "Bye baby." Archie walked up behind her, placed a hand on her shoulder and handed me Juliet's bag. I flung it over my shoulder. "Thanks Arch." I left their room and headed out of their apartment.
