A/N Enjoy!
——————————————————————
The young parents made their way to the Jones house and stopped outside.
Juliet started to shake, "Hey, breathe." Liam places his hands on her shoulders hand, she instantly calmed under his touch.
"They're going to kill me" She said looking at the door of the house.
"No they won't, I won't let them." He said placing a hand on her lower back.

Juliet turned the door knob and the couple stepped inside of the house.
"Mom, Dad. You home." She shouted in the dimly lit house.
"In here." Juliet heard her mother's voice come from the kitchen. She turned to the boy and said "I think you should go, I want to tell them by myself first , just in case they start getting angry at you." He placed a kiss on her lips and said bye and left the quiet house walking to his own next door.

Juliet walked through the hall into the kitchen where her parents were sitting at the table.
"Hey." Juliet said to her parents, they turned to her with faces with a mix of a sad and stern expression, "something wrong?" She tried to hide the shakiness in her voice.
"Why don't you tell us." Her father said in an accusing voice. She tried to put a confused look on her face but was positive it didn't work. Her blonde mother reached into her purse that was next to her and pulled out a pregnancy test.
"What's this?" She said clenching her jaw to stop tears from falling.
"A pregnancy test." Juliet said trying to make a joke that apparently wasn't funny to her parents.
"Is it yours?" Said her beanie wearing father, she just realised that he never wore that beanie anymore only when he was upset, as another form of protection. Juliet stayed silent, looking anywhere but at her parents.
"Is. It. Yours." He said in a much more sterner voice, her mom grabbed onto her dads hand as to say, calm down, Juliet moved to sit opposite her parents and dropped her head to her hands.
"I'm so sorry." She said as the sobs started to shake her chest.
"Oh Jules." Her mother said placing a hand on her shoulder, "I thought you were being safe?"
"Wait you knew they were having sex!" Said her father, who was getting angrier by the second.
"Oh, come on Juggie, we were her age when we started having sex! I put her on birth control and I bought condoms for her, so something like this wouldn't happen" Jughead  his took off his beanie and started running his hands through his raven hair.
"I know but she's my baby." He said with hurt in his voice.
"Mom." Juliet said in a quiet voice, "we were being safe, but you know stuff like this happens." She said playing with a loose thread on her black skirt.
"I know baby. We thought it happened to us once." She looked at Juliet's father and grabbed his hand as they both recalled the memory...

It was senior year and Betty and Jughead were young and in love. They were lying in Betty's bed, holding each other as if the world depended on it. Suddenly Betty sat upright and ran to the bathroom hand covering her mouth, Jughead heard her throwing up in the toilet and went to see if she was okay.
"You okay Betts?" He asked concern lacing his voice.
"Yeah, it's been happening for a while now. I must be coming down with something." She said wiping her mouth with a towel, she went to close the toilet seat down and flush when she saw a box of tampons sitting on the side. Then it hit her, she had missed a few periods. Her raven haired boyfriend must have sensed something was wrong because he said "Babe is something wrong?" He knelt down next to her.
"I've missed a few periods." She said still staring at the unused box of tampons. Jughead was confused at first then he put the pieces together. She was being sick in the mornings, she had missed periods.
"Betts are you pregnant?" He asked what they were both wondering.
"I don't know." She said putting her head in her hands, he pulled his tiny girlfriend into his side and said, "I think you should take a test." Betty nodded back to him. "I'll go and buy one for you."
"Thank you Jug." She said holding tightly onto her sweet boyfriend.

Jughead was in the local pharmacy, he walked up the aisle where he would usually go to buy condoms, wasn't that ironic he thought the place where you would go to buy something to stop from getting you pregnant, were next to the things that would tell you if you were pregnant. He picked up a pregnancy test that wasn't to cheap but wasn't to expensive. He walked to the till to check out and the cashier gave him dirty looks.
"Have something to say to me?" He asked in an angry voice.
"How old are you?" The cashier said.
"10!" He said in an annoyed voice, the cashier just rolled her eyes and passed him the bag with the test in. Jughead stormed out of the shop and sped back to Betty's on his motorbike.

"Hey Betts." He said as he walked back into Betty's room where she was sitting on the edge of her bed staring into space. Betty must not of realised Jughead came in because when he sat on her bed she jumped.
"Jug!" She said surprised, "I didn't hear you come in." He reached into the bag and pulled out the test that could change their lives.
"Here." He said as he passed it to her. "I'll wait out here." She stood up and pressed a kiss to her boyfriends lips,
"I love you."
"I love you too." He said and held her face in his hands, "and I'll love this baby." He said while placing his hand on her stomach. She placed a hand on his cheek and said, "how did I get so lucky, most boys would have run for the hills by now, but not you Jughead Jones, not you." He looked back at her with pure love in his eyes.
"I guess I should go take the test now."
"Yeah." He pulled her head to his lips and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

Betty made her way to the bathroom and took the pregnancy test out of its box. She read the directions and peed on the stick and then set a timer for four minutes. She made her way back to her bedroom where Jughead was lying on her bed staring at the ceiling.
"What's so interesting on my ceiling babe?" She said with a half laugh.
"Betts! What does it say?!"  She held up her phone to show him the timer.
"Not long now." She said as she snuggled into her boyfriends side.
"What will we do if it's positive Jug? We are young, we can't raise a baby."
"We can do anything together Betts." Jughead said as he tightened his arms around his girlfriends waist.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
"It's time." Said Betty sliding off her comfy mattress, she grabbed Jughead hand and pulled him up. "Come on. Together." She said repeating his words. The couple walked hand in hand to the bathroom and Betty picked up the sick laying on the sink.
"Negative." Betty Said as Jughead let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in. She pulled him into a hug and started crying.
"What's wrong Betts? The tests negative. We have nothing to worry about."
"I was sort of hoping it would be positive, Jug. Haven't you ever thought about having a baby, but I know it's to soon. While you were gone I was thinking about what it would be like if the test was positive and we had a baby." He started smirking at his blonde girlfriend, "if it was a boy we would name him Noah and if it was a girl we would name her Juliet."
"Juliet?" He asked at the uncommon name.
"Yes that's what you called me the first time we kissed." She said as a blush crept up Her cheeks, "Juliet."
"Well in the future, when we do have a baby, if it's a girl she will definitely be called Juliet." Betty pressed a loving kiss to Jugheads lips.
"In the future."

Juliet's mother started crying as she was telling her the story or their pregnancy scare.
"That's how you came up with my name? Dad, you called mom Juliet?" Jughead nodded shyly.
"Telling our story doesn't excuse you from yours though Jules." Her mother said to her, "ours was a scare, yours is really happening." She said with a loving look on her face, "have you told Liam."
Juliet nodded.
"Liam." Juliet heard her father snarl, "I'm going to kill that little dick, knocking up my baby girl." He stood up, making his way to the front door, he opened it and walked out making his way to the Andrews' house.
"Dad!" Juliet shouted to her father before he left. Juliet and her mother stood up and ran to the front door, she heard her mother mumble, "he's going to kill him."
