Hey guys we are going to get a new character's POV it might happen every now and then so make sure to read this chapter which is also going to be quite lengthy ❤️

Veronica POV
"I can't believe we just did that!" I squealed. "There's a first time for everything." Jughead laughed. We were greeted by the neon lights of Pop's. "Let's go overdose on milkshakes!" I beamed taking Jughead by the hand and running in. We sat in the usual booth with my daily dose of chocolate milkshake. Jughead ordered the same. "Now all we are missing is vanilla and strawberry." I looked at the other side of the booth where Betty and Archie would sit. "Betty has an ultrasound tomorrow." Jughead said. "How far along is she?" I asked sipping my milkshake. "Eh about 8 weeks." He replied. "Wow I can't imagine carrying a human inside my stomach, that will ruin my figure!" I joked rubbing my stomach. We both laughed. "Next round of milkshakes on me?" I asked avoiding the whole pregnant conversation. "You know it!" Jughead laughed.

Betty POV
"Betty we have an appointment at 2:30pm tomorrow. You first ultrasound!" Mom said as soon as I came in. "I remember my first ultrasound." Polly mournfully said. It reminded her of Jason. "Don't be so morbid Polly." Mom said but comforted her. Gee she hasn't dated a man after Jason's murder. She visits his grave with the twins and tells him about what's going on in Riverdale every other day. "Well I'm tired so goodnight." I lied. I just wanted to stop talking about Jason Blossom. I headed up to my room but Polly followed me leaving the twins with my mom. "Betty..where were you?" She asked suspiciously edging up closer to my bed. "Out.." I shrugged. "Who's shirt is that?" She touched the cotton material. I knew she had this all sussed out. "I went to go and see Archie." I admitted. "And you came back in his shirt?" She asked. "What? No! I came in with his shirt and left." I squirmed at the thought. "What happened?" It was like an interview. "Why are you asking questions?" I asked. She shrugged. "Sister things I guess." She replies stroking the shirts material.
"Um ok well I just popped into his garage and heard him play a song he wrote, Jughead and Veronica were there as well." I informed her. I didn't tell her that we were alone and what the song was about. "Have you and Archie ever..kissed?" It felt like such an invasion of privacy but she was my sister. "No.." I lied. "You're twirling your hair so you're lying B." Polly pointed out. "Yes we kissed..twice." I bit my lip. "After freshman year?" She asked hopefully. I nodded. "Sophomore year and a couple weeks ago." I sighed. "What?!" She closed the door. "Tell. Me. Everything!" She beamed. So I did. I told her everything that happened during the black hood era and the baby shower. "But what about Jughead?" Polly asked. I told her about that too. "And I thought I was dramatic." She scoffed. "Anymore questions because I'm tired?" I opened the door. "When are you guys going to date." She smirked. I pushed her out and shut the door. It was good to reveal all that to someone. I'm still confused. I know I feel weird about Archie but I'm still bothered about Jughead and Veronica. I collapsed onto my bed. That was my true love right now.

Archie POV
I debated whether or not I should go to Betty's ultrasound. I know they are probably going to say immediate family only but I'm like her brother..I couldn't lie to myself there. I wasn't like her brother at all. I wasn't her boyfriend either. I guess I'm her best friend with benefits but she doesn't know that yet. It was a Thursday and there was no school for some odd reason. I swung by Betty's house. "Hey!" Polly opened the door. "Hi." I answered. Me and Polly didn't really have in depth conversations. We were very limited on what we would say. "Betty is in the shower." She read my mind. "Can I wait?" I asked. "In the shower?" She joked. I blushed violently. "I'm kidding..yeah you can wait." She gestured at the couch. I sat uncomfortably on it and Polly poured herself a glass of wine. "Um where are the twins?" I asked. "My friend took them for a walk down sweet water river." She gulped her wine. She gestured at the bottle. "No thanks I shouldn't be drinking on an empty stomach." I patted my stomach. She smiled. "Nice to see you so caring about my sister." She finally said breaking the silence.
