||| Jughead POV |||

Three weeks of waiting.
Three weeks of leaving the house only when absolutely necessary.
Three weeks of locking doors and windows.
Three weeks of re-locking doors and windows.
Three weeks of watching Betty's stomach grow, and with that, watching her fear grow too.

I make the rounds downstairs, making sure everything's locked before jogging up the stairs back to Betty, Archie and Ronnie all asleep.
Except Betty's not asleep, I walk into our room and she's sat upright in our bed. Her hair tussled in a low ponytail, my sweatshirt swallowing her small frame, with her growing bump peaking out from underneath.

She looks unusually frazzled, holding the phone close to her ear- careful not to wake the sleeping brunette and red in the cot beside the bed.

My god she looks so beautiful, sitting in the moonlight, bedsheets kicked around her. There's something different though, a look of worry. She looks... scared.

"Betts?" I whisper
She quickly puts a finger to her mouth- shushing me.

She pushes the phone closer to her ear and reaches her other hand out to me, almost desperately.

I cross to her as quickly as possible, taking her hand and placing my other on her stomach. She looks me dead in the eye, a tear freeing itself as the phone drops from her hand.

"Juggie" she whispers "Juggie, It's him...
it's the Blackhood."

My heart stopped, I know Betty's did too.

"What did he say Betts, what does he want?"
"He-he said he wants us to go b-back to the devils house" she was shaking
"The devils house? Betty what is that, do you know?" I don't like this.
"Juggie its the house he made me go to, the house where-" she freezes , looking at me with tear filled eyes. I know what she's talking about, I know what he did to her that night...
and i won't let it happen again.

"No, No- you are not going back to that house i will not put you in that kind of danger"
"Jughead, I have too- We have too."
She whispers, "He threatened Jellybean."

There are so many possible responses swarming in my brain, but for some reason i can only spit out, "Shit."

"Juggie, what do we do?"
"You stay here, Archie and Veronica will come with me and we will end this, I can fix this, Betts."
"No, Jug I have to go"
"Betty, you're not going. That's final."
"Jughead, I love you, but I will not put my best friends and the man I love in danger because you're afraid to show my face."
"Betty, you have to think about the baby-"

"Lovers quarl? What's going on guys" Veronica stretches and yawns in between words. Archie rises too and all at once it's us three against my angry baby momma.

"Jughead I swear to god, Once you're gone I will find a way there myself, do not try me."

It was a threat, but an honest threat. If I know my girl, and I do, She would do anything to keep us safe- even if it meant putting herself, and maybe even the baby in danger.

"Juggie I promise we will be safe. I Love all three of you and I love this baby, i'm not putting any of you in danger. He wants me, so it's me we will deliver." she wants to fight, "We can do this."

"Veronica, grab the flashlights.
Archie, the switchblade,
and Betty... put some pants on."
