In sickness and in sickness

Chapter four

Fp POV*
I left Riverdale bright and early to try and make amends with my wife. All I want is for my wife and daughter to come back home. Before I left though I went to see if Jughead was awake. When I got to Jughead's room though I noticed he was looking a little more  pale than the usual. I didn't think much of it, I looked down at my watch and realized if I didn't get to the bus station soon, I would miss it.
                  Five hours later
I was finally in Toledo, I had rung Gladys already to tell her I was coming. She had been fine with it, which I was thankful for. I knew I should have tried to make amends with Gladys since I had quit drinking, but I never did. It was kinda important that I made amends now, mainly because, Jughead doesn't know this yet but, Betty's pregnant. I noticed I couple days ago when she come over to write an article with Jughead. To be honest though I see why Jughead hasn't realized yet, I mean I'd seen it twice when Gladys was pregnant with Jughead and Jellybean. But also because Jughead is gonna graduate next week and I know Gladys always wanted to see him graduate.
When I got to the house they owned I got kinda nervous, what if they didn't want to come back. What if Jellybean hated me for not being apart of her life. I stopped thinking of the "what if's" and starting to knock on the door. When Jellybean opened the door she was so excited to see me, it broke me, to see her now though cause she's 12 years old now and I don't think I can handle it. Jelly you've gotten so big, can I get a hug? "Dad" was all she said before she ran up to hug me. I was surprised that she actually hugged me, I probably wouldn't have. "She asked to visit you everyday, but I didn't know if you had quit drinking and I didn't want Jellybean around that." Gladys explained to me. No, it's fine I sould of came when I quit, but I'm here now to get the family back together since Jug's gonna graduate next week. Gladys and I talked for about three hours before we finally decided to head back to Riverdale. I'm not sure what Jellybean was doing, because she was on the phone with someone and wouldn't say who. It better not have been a boy though cause I'm not ready for that. I called Jughead to let him know that The Jones family is finally gonna get back together. Though when he answered he didn't really seem to excited even though I knew he'd always wanted us to be a whole family again. When I asked him if he was alright I got an answer that was so Jughead. "Yeah, I'm fine, you just woke me up from my sleep." I laughed, Jughead still slept like a baby. He better get as much as he can now, cause he won't be for much longer.
