The Runaway

4. A Day to Relax

Betty's POV

I wake up in a bed that is not mine and look around. I then remember all the events that took place yesterday. I met my best friend...again. I saw Gladys and she was always comforting to talk to, but we always end up crying and then we fall asleep. What an eventful day, but it was a great day. I got to meet Jug's son Jackson. He looks a lot like Jug and he is so cute!

"Hey, my mom said that you can stay and visit whenever you want to." Jug says as he comes In the room. "What time is it?" I ask. "You've only been asleep for two hours. You can keep sleeping I just need to wake Jack up or he wont sleep tonight." He says. "I'm not tired, I'm just really hungry." I say and he laughs. "Jack probably is too, he is a Jones after all." He says and we both laugh. 

We were all downstairs talking and catching up, while Jackson crawled all over the floor and played with toys. "So why did you run away?" Jug asks. "Our parents were the reason that we were in the toxic relationships in the first place. We took some money, grabbed our stuff, and got out of that town." I say. "They definitely don't care, because if they did, they would have a missing persons' report out. It would also be on the news." Gladys says. "Dad didn't say anything about it either." Jug says. "Lunch's ready, you can take a seat at the table, or you can eat in their." Gladys says making plates. "Lunch!" She calls for everyone. Ava and Jellybean are the first ones downstairs. "Hey Jelly, you probably don't remember us. It's Betty and Polly." I say to her. She hugs me and then Polly. "Of course I remember you guys. You were like the sisters I never had when I was little." She says and sits down next to Ava. Toni and Kev come down the stairs as Jug places Jackson in his high chair. Sweet Pea is the last one down. "I'm so hungry." He says sitting down and immediately eating. We all laugh at him and he glares at us all. Gladys hands us our plates and we all start to eat immediately. "Damn Pea, you're already done." Toni says. "I was hungry!" He says. We all laugh. "Alice Cooper and Hal Cooper have been arrested for attempt of murder." We hear. We turn and face the TV. "Cheryl Blossom, Veronica Lodge, and Archie Andrews are in the hospital. They don't have serious injuries and will make a recovery." It says. "Cher, V, and Arch are in the hospital!?" Polly says. "Oh my god." I say and a tear slips. "Our parents tried to kill them." I say. "Alice and Hal Cooper will be gone for at least 10 years." It says. (I googled that lol) I was screaming of joy inside, but sad on the outside for my friends. "Hey Betts, look at me." Jug says and raises my head.  "They're not hurt badly." He says. Jackson starts to cry. "What's wrong buddy?" Jug asks him. Jack babbles something and giggles. "He probably just wanted attention." I say. "Can you hold him, I have to get something from upstairs." Jug asks me. I nod and he hands me Jack. I kiss his head and tickle him. Everyone looks at us in awe. "What?" I ask. "You already look like a mom." Gladys says and everyone nods. I blush and Jug blushes from the steps.

*Three months later*

Jug and I started dating a week after we found out about my parents. Gladys let him move in with Polly and I to help. My stomach is huge and so is Polly's. Jackson also started calling me mommy. It's the cutest thing. 

"Mama!" Jackson shouts from his room. I groan and get out of bed. I walk into his room. "Yes?" I question. "Hungry." He says. I pick him up from the crib and take him to the kitchen. "Look who woke up from their naps." Jug says and takes Jack. I yawn and nod. Jug puts Jack in his high chair and hands him food. "Polly still asleep?" I ask. Jug nods and I groan. "I'll be back." I say and walk to Polly's room. "Polly get up! We have a doctor's appointment today!" I shout at her. She groans and rolls over. "Don't make me get the water bottle." I say. She groans again and gets up. We walk back into the kitchen. "Did you try to spray her again?" Jug asks and pecks my lips. I nod and smirk. We all sit down and eat. 

"Polly! Come on, we have to leave!" I shout up the steps. Jug picks up Jack and we head out to his car. Polly walks out of the house, after locking the door, and gets in the car. "Ready for the genders?" Jug asks us. "I can't wait!" I squeal. Jackson squeals with me. We all laugh and Jug starts to drive us to the appointment.

We walk into the room. "Is he both the dads?" The doctor asks. We all laugh and shake our heads. "He's not biological, but he is the father figure to my babies." I say. The doctor nods. "Who's first?" He asks. Polly goes first and after the doctor does the checkups, he asks her if she wants to know the genders. Polly nods. "You're having a girl and a boy!" The doctor says. "O my god!" Polly says and I hug her. We squeal and then the doctor goes through my checkups. "Okay, genders?" The doctor asks. Jug and I nod. Jack was playing with a couple toy cars on the floor. "You're having three girls!" The doctor says and then goes out of the room to get pictures of the babies. Jug, Polly, and I hug. "I'm so happy!" I say. "Me too!" Jug says. We get the pictures and then we all leave to go tell everyone else.
