Hey guys this chapter is a seven month time jump into the story to make things a little more interesting ❤️
Betty POV
Months after my first appointment not much has happened. Veronica and Jughead went to New York and Veronica went to show him the ropes and Archie well he's checked up on me every now and then since his practise and he has a new football season. I grew a baby bump and the baby started kicking but Ezra and Aria wanted to keep the gender and surprise. Archie is dating a river vixen did I mention?Yes a river vixen. Me being pregnant turned him off I think. She's called Audrey. Yes I know 7 months ago weren't we madly in love. Well I don't know about him but I was. I still am. I can't really waddle to school now because of the baby. So I don't really see Archie as much as I would like. I want to be the vixen that cheers him on every time he receives the ball and tend to his wounds after every game. I haven't seen Archie in weeks because he's in greendale with the team playing our school rival. I gave up on basically everything. Polly was a good support system. The baby was due to come in 2 months. I looked in the mirror. Pimples? Check! Swollen stomach? Check! Gaining weight in legs and arms? Check, check, check! No wonder Archie doesn't want to see me. Audrey was slim, brunette, has ocean blue eyes and rosy cheeks. She was everything that I'm not. "Don't worry this is the stage of your pregnancy you feel like this." Polly explained. "I feel like crap." I said eating ice cream and ketchup. That was my new favourite craving.
Archie POV
A lot can happen in 7 months. I mean I have a girlfriend but it's wrong what my intentions are. 7 months ago I was dawdling on Betty but Reggie and the guys convinced me to go for a vixen. I've been with Audrey for 3 months now. She's pretty but nothing like Betty. She's very..hard. Not easy going, you have to put in a lot of work with her. She's flirty with everyone which as a boyfriend should put me off but really I don't care. I knew who and what I wanted. I just wanted her as a distraction. She's pretty I'll give you that but her personality is a no. Every time she kisses me it's too..forced. It's like she wants something out of me too. She's very dramatic and wants the whole school to know we are dating and without Betty it's even worse. I needed to see her. I knocked on the door. "Betty doesn't want any visitors." Polly said as soon as she saw me at the door. "Polly I need to see her." I desperately said. She sighed and stepped out the way. I ran up the stairs and saw Betty in her room. I lightly knocked on her door. "Normally I would be pleased to see you but not today get out!" She said. "Don't be like that B." I said gently sitting on her arm chair. "Get out and go home or go see Audrey." She said even louder. "Is this what this is about?" I asked her. "No I don't care that you have a girlfriend it's just she's pretty and look at me I look like a whale." She gestured at her bed. "Is that what you think?" I asked her. "It's what we all know Arch." She sighed. "You look perfect, pregnant or not you still manage to take my breath away every single time." I admitted. Betty didn't look satisfied especially since Audrey called. "You should go." She sighed. I knew she was irritated. "You mad at me?" I asked her. She shook her head. I smiled at her and walked out. I hated seeing her so upset. I guess she'll feel better after giving birth.
Jughead POV
New York is fantastic! It's filled with new opportunities for me. I see myself here one day! "So Jughead do you like it here so far?" Veronica asked me. "I love it!" I beamed picking her up for a hug. "Amazing do you wanna go get cupcakes?" She squealed. "Is that even a question?!" I replied excitedly. We hailed a cab and I admired the New York's amazing view and Veronica of course. We both got off the taxi and walked in her favourite cupcake store as she greeted the waitress I looked around. It was different compared to pop's. True I did feel homesick. I haven't seen this much people in the same place. "This is my beau Jughead." She introduced me to this waitress. She was about the same height as me, had very curly black thick curly hair and hazel eyes. She looked like a model. "Juggy I know she's pretty but your mine." Obviously I knew that. I kissed Veronica's head and ordered. "That's Amanda she owns the cafe and thousands like this." Veronica whispered. This was all a lot to take in but I didn't really miss Riverdale.
Archie POV
As I watched Audrey's river vixens routine it was bland. No One that I spoke to in particular. No Betty, No Veronica, No Cheryl and Toni since they went on a motorcycle ride around America. It was almost the Easter break so more and more people dropped out to go as it was the end of semester and we get a 3 week break. I plastered a smile on my face at Audrey's routine. "Man she's hot." Reggie whispered. I smiled. "Please don't tell me you still like Betty." He sighed. I shrugged brushing the question off. When Audrey finished she paced over to me. "Hey Reggie." She winked. She was into Reggie and I knew it. "Hey beautiful." He smiled. "Um she's mine." I acted. I didn't mean any of that but I had to make it believable. "Don't be silly Archie I'm all yours." She kissed me but it was so forced and she felt stone cold hell even Veronica was a better kisser. I pulled away. "I can't do this ok I don't love you hell I don't even like you. I'm in love with someone else." I said. She smiled out of all things. "Is it Sam? I saw you eyeing her in practise the other day." She laughed. I only eyed her because I remembered her from middle school. The Queen B. "No listen ok I'm sorry but I don't want you." I said and walked off. "Well I only wanted you for Reggie." She yelled as I walked off. Of course.
Veronica POV
As me and Jughead walked back to the hotel I saw roses scattered all over the bed and champagne glasses. "We're in the wrong suite." I joked. Jughead pulled my arm and pulled me closer to him. "Just because you know New York better than I do doesn't mean I can't plan surprises as well." He whispered. I pulled him in for a kiss slamming him on the bed he filled with rose petals. We were so aggressive yet so passionate. I have never felt a feeling like this before in my entire life. Feeling of lust and intensity. I feel more and more ready to say those three words with Jughead because what we have is real. Nobody compares to him. I needed him in my life after the bull I've been through in the god forsaken town they call Riverdale. The deeper we get into the kiss, the deeper my feelings get. I want him now.
Betty POV
I felt stranded. Aria and Ezra visit every other day to check on the baby and on me. I didn't know how I felt to be honest giving away a person to people I met 7 months ago ONLINE! I headed downstairs for a refill of ice cream and ketchup. "Polly get the door!" I yelled. She opened it. Would you believe it was Archie. For the first time I didn't want to see him. "Hi.." I said awkwardly. "Hey." He sat on the chair. "I need to tell you something." He said ominously. "Can it wait I'm kind of-." There was a splashing noise. We both looked down slowly. "What is that?" Archie asked. "POLLY COME QUICK!" I shrieked. Polly sped to the kitchen. "That came from my.." I gestured unable to talk. "Your water broke Betty..it's time!" She gasped. "There's still another two months!" I yelled. "It must be a premature baby!" She shouted packing up my stuff in a hurry. "Wait so she's having the baby today." Archie shouted. "Can everyone stop with the shouting." I gasped for air. "Yes Archie we need to get her to the hospital ASAP!" Polly zipped up my backpack and Archie took me to the car. "Quick!" Polly drove to the hospital. "Where's Mom?!" I gasped clutching my stomach. "She's at the register I sent her a text and she's coming!" Polly answered. I sat at the backseat with Archie squeezing my hand.
Jughead POV
Me and Veronica panted on the bed drinking our champagne when all of a sudden I got a text from Archie. I sat up immediately getting dressed. "Where the hell are you going?" Veronica shot up. "To Riverdale!" I panicked. "Why?" She asked me sipping her champagne. "Betty's in labour!"
