Pops

Juliet, Liam and Betty walked into Pops, everyone was sitting at multiple booths. They walked over to where Jughead and Archie were sitting.
"Hey babe." Betty said as she sat next to Juliet's father.
"So what are we having a granddaughter or a grandson?" Archie questioned.
"Well Mr Andrews, Dad. You're having a grandson!" Juliet smiled.
"Oh guys!" Archie hugged the happy couple. Juliet looked up from hugging Archie.
"Where did dad go?" She looked around for her father but she couldn't find him. She looked out the windows of pops and saw him sitting on his motorbike. Her mother saw Juliet walking for the door and ran after her.
"Baby, let me go speak to him." Juliet looked back at her mother with tears rolling down her cheeks. Betty pulled her into a hug. "Aww bug, go sit with Aunt Toni and Cheryl while I get him." She led her daughter to her aunts and told them what was going on. Juliet was leaning on Cheryl's shoulder.
"Why's my dad acting like this?"
"Jules, you know your dad. When something happens and he gets upset it's takes him a while to get used to it."
"Yeah, I know but he can be so ugghh sometimes." Cheryl laughed.
"That's what I thought of him at first, you know I didn't even like him," Cheryl was twirling Juliet's hair. "I just thought he was Southside trash, a loner from the wrong side of the tracks. But, once I joined the serpents and got to know him better I realised he was a loyal, strong leader and most importantly he never stops fighting for the ones he loves. And certainly not his family."

Outside Pops

"Forsythe Pendleton Jones, what do you think you are doing!? Your daughter is in there crying because you left when she needed your love the most! Now go in there and give her a hug and apologise!"
"Betts..." he pinched his nose.
"No! Don't 'Betts' me! I'm sick of you acting like this! Yes, Juliet made a mistake, but she doesn't need the people who are supposed to support her leaving the room whenever she talks about it! Think about how that makes her feel!?" Betty pleaded.
"Betts... listen to me." Jughead looked up.
"No Jughead! You listen to me go in there and say sorry to your daug-"
"Penny is back!!" He shouted at his wife.
"What?" She walked over to him.
"She called me before you got here, she said she knows that Jules is pregnant and she will do anything to hurt me and the serpents." Betty could see the true fear in his eyes.
"Oh my god. Jug, what do you think she's going to do?"
"I don't know Betts. But it's a good thing we're pulling her out of school. I want a serpent watching her at all times, we can't tell her though it will get her freaked out."
"Okay. But you really should go in and apologise to her, she's really upset."
"Why do I mess everything up Betts?" He dropped his head to her shoulder.
"Jug you don't," she put her hands on either side of his face.
"Yeah Betts, I do. But I'm not going to ruin my relationship with my daughter." He looked back at pops to his daughter leaning on Cheryl's shoulder.
"Well, I did have and idea that would make her really happy. We ask if Liam wants to move in." She said with hesitation.
"What!" Jughead asked shocked.
"Well, it would be easier when the baby's born so Liam could help her in the night. Of course he would sleep in another room."
"Okay. It would make it easier for Jules. Let's tell them." They walked hand in hand back into Pops.

The bell rang and Juliet looked at the door to see her parents walking back in. Juliet got up with help from Cheryl and walked over to them.
"Jules, I'm sorry." Her father said and pulled her into a hug. "I am so happy for you and I can't wait to be a granddad."
"It's okay dad."
"No bug, it's not. You had huge news to share and I just walked out."
"Anyway, your dad and I have something to ask you and Liam." Betty cut in and led her daughter and husband over to her best friend and son and sat down.
"Okay, Jug and I have something we need to ask you three." Juliet's father nodded along with her mother.
"Liam, would you like to move in?" She looked at Liam.
"What!?" He asked looking confused.
"Well Jug and I thought that when the baby is born it would be easier for you and Jules."
"Wait Dad you agree with this!" Juliet looked stunned.
"Yes, I do Jules. If it will help you with the baby." He then looked at Liam, "but, you will sleep in a different room of course." Liam nodded. Juliet's mother looked at Archie. "Arch, this will only be happening as long as it's okay with you."
"Oh my god, Betty. Yes it's okay, my son will be closer to his son and will be able to help out more. I will only be next door."
"Thanks a lot dad." Liam smiled at his dad.
"No problem son." Archie said and put his hand on the back of Liam's neck.
