*Betty's POV*
We'd got back from the bar hours ago and we had all just slept since then. I got up once to feed Juliet but fell straight back to sleep. I rolled away from Jughead and turned my phone on. 2:13AM. I'd been stirring for a while now so I decided to get out of bed. I gently shut the door behind me; making sure I didn't wake Jughead up. I walked across into Juliet's room to see her wiggling around in her crib. I turned the lamp on and pulled her from her crib. I smothered her cheeks in kisses. "Hey little baby." I was whispering to her and gently rocking her. "Are you awake like mommy? Yes you are." I stroked her little head. "Let's go downstairs." I quickly changed her diaper and her sleeper and headed downstairs. I turned on the floor lamp and sat on the couch with her. At first, I didn't have the TV on as I was just sat with Juliet. I took my phone and took a picture of her on the couch.

I smiled and picked her up

I smiled and picked her up. As much as I didn't want to wake her, I needed to get a drink and didn't want to leave her. I poured some water and then went back to sit down. I turned Netflix on and started to watch a film.

I moved my arm to touch Betty but my arm only met the covers. I turned my head to see the empty bed. I shot up and walked into Juliet's room. She wasn't in her crib so I went downstairs. I could see the soft, warm light from the lamp and the quiet noise from the TV. I walked towards the couch to see Betty and Juliet sound asleep. It was around 7 AM so I decided to wake them up. I gently shook Betty's shoulder. She groaned a little then smiled tiredly at me. "Morning sleepy head." I kissed her forehead then sat down next to her on the couch. Juliet was in her arms so I gently picked her up and held her on my lap. I kissed her cheek and just held her. Betty jumped up off the couch. "What time is it?!" I laughed. "7AM" "Crap we need to get ready. The photographer is coming over at 9:30." "I know. I'll take care of Juliet while you get ready." She sighed. "Ok, thank you." She lent down and kissed me for a few seconds before racing back upstairs. I laughed to myself then looked down at Juliet. She was asleep and looked so adorable. I placed her into her bouncer and took it into the kitchen with me. I prepared a pot of coffee and began getting things out to make some breakfast. I decided to make pancakes as I knew Betty loved them.

I placed a couple more strawberries onto the plate and brought it over to where the hot mug of coffee was. I took Juliet out of her bouncer, held her close to my chest and gently carried up Betty's breakfast. I walked into the bedroom and saw Betty sat at her vanity table. I placed the coffee and pancakes on the table and kissed her cheek. "Thank you Juggie." I smiled as she kissed Juliet. "Her clothes are in her bedroom. I have put out a white onesie for her to where and then I'm gonna put her in the dress about 5 minutes before pictures." "Okay."
I had given Juliet a bath and changed her which now made her very sleepy. I lay her into the crib and turned out the lights. As I walked into the bedroom, Betty was stood in her dress and her hair and make-up was done. She looked so beautiful. I shook up behind her and wrapped my arms round her waist. She practically melted at my presence. I kissed her temple and spun her round. "You look so beautiful Betty." She kissed me. "Thank you Jug." We kissed against for a while before she pulled away. "You need to go and get ready baby." "Sure thing."

*Betty's POV*
I had just put Juliet's dress on whilst the photographer was setting up in the garden. Jug was still in the bathroom. "Jug! Hurry up." I held Juliet up to my chest and she rested her head on my shoulder. I was now stood in the hallway waiting for him. He walked out of the bathroom. His hair was out of his beanie. His shirt clinged onto his muscles. The smell of his cologne drifted past me. I couldn't help but bite my lip. I didn't think he would notice. "Like what you see?" He walked closer to us. "Very much Mr Jones." He covered Juliet's eyes with his hand and used his other one to hold my face and pull me into a tender kiss. As we pulled away, he removed his hand and I giggled. "For your own good Juliet." We both laughed then went downstairs ready for our photos. I was so happy.
