Drunken Mistake

Daddy Always Knew

Betty POV:

Surprisingly the rest of my day went really well, I was able to avoid Jughead for the rest of the day since he didn't bother in showing up to the Blue and Gold, leaving me by myself which didn't bother me at all especially after everything that happened earlier between Archie and Jughead. The last bell finally rung and I quickly grabbed my things and headed towards my locker, putting in some textbooks and grabbing a notebook I need. I closed my locker and as soon as I began to walk out I received a message from Archie telling me to meet him at Pops and that he'd let Veronica know. I closed my eyes and sighed, mentally slapping myself for thinking that this mess had already ended but I should've known better that Archie wouldn't simply drop this. 

I finally get outside and walk down the stairs, noticing that Jughead and Toni are having a heated argument but I simply roll my eyes and begin walking when suddenly Reggie pulls up in front of me. 

"Cooper, want a ride?" He asks me, giving me a grin. 

I bite my lip and simply nod my head yes returning the grin and walk over to the passenger side, feeling a pair of eyes watching me I turn my head and see Jughead looking at me as he clenches his fist together. I shrug it off and get in. 

"Do you mind dropping me off at Pops? I kind of promised Archie and Veronica we'd meet up there after school" I say to him 

"Of course, anything for you" He tells me sending me a wink. I blush like an idiot, placing my notebook in the middle and my backpack on my feet as we drive off, looking in the mirror that show's Jughead's figure looking in our direction, I frown and furrow my eyebrows as I look back at him wondering why he's even looking at me. 

"What's wrong?" Reggie asks me, pulling my attention off of Jughead and over to him. 

"Nothing" I say to him giving him a small smile but still wondering what was with Jughead staring. Me and Reggie talk about random things as we drive towards Pops. I'm genuinely surprised by how much I'm enjoying Reggie's company but I'm also aware that I can't way too attached to him since I know he won't be around once he finds out about my little bean. 

"Thanks for bringing me" I say to Reggie giving him a smile and grabbing my backpack. 

"Oh it was no problem, honestly I should be the one thanking you. " He says to me 

"What? Why?" I ask him with furrowed eyebrows but a smile formed on my lips.

"Well because you bless me with your presence, nothing makes me feel better than being in your company Coop" He says to me. 

"You're so cheesy" I say to him as I giggle "See you later Reg" I then say quickly walking out of his car. 

"Remember 7 tonight" He tells me giving me a wink

I blush and nod my head then running inside the diner looking for my two friends who are probably are already here. I scan the diner and quickly find Archie and Veronica waiting for me at a booth at the far corner.

I walk towards them slowly as I brace myself for the topic we're about to talk about. 

"Hey" I say shyly as I approach them, they both look up at me and smile as I sit in the booth. 

"How are you feeling?" Archie asks me "Do you want something to eat?" 

"No I'm good thanks" I say to him giving him a smile. 

"You sure, I heard pregnant woman need to eat more than usual" Archie tells me, making me and Veronica laugh "What?" Archie asks genuinely confused.

"Nothing dear Archiekins but thank you for being so cute" Ronnie says to him, as she pulls him in for a kiss. I raise my eyebrows in shock wondering when that happened but honestly I shouldn't be so surprised since I noticed their attraction towards each other the moment she arrived to Riverdale. 

They pull apart and Archie grins widely and Veronica does the same seeing her cheeks turn red. "You guys are so cute that I just might throw up" I say to them. 

"Anyways, we're not here to talk about me and Ronnie, what I want to talk about is you and that little baby you're carrying" Archie says to me and as I was about to reply to him we hear someone else chiming it. 

"You're pregnant?" Reggie asks as he walks up to the booth with my notebook in hand. We all snap our heads towards Reggie's direction as he looks at me waiting for me to answer. I feel my breathing begin to quicken as I feel everyone look at me. I knew this day would come, where Reggie would find out but I didn't want him to find out this way and this soon. 

I quickly stand up and run out of the diner without saying another word. I hear them calling out for me but i ignore them and run as fast as I can towards my house. I feel so stupid for leading on a guy knowing exactly what my situation is. When I finally get home, I notice my mom's car isn't here so I know she isn't home. I walk inside and go straight upstairs noticing my window is wide open, I sigh and go to close my window and once I do I feel a pair of arms snake around my waist . I jump in fear but then suddenly they whisper "How far along are?" and I recognize their voice. 

"Jesus, Jughead! You can't keep scaring me like this" I say to him, Pushing him away from me." And I honestly don't know why you keep asking me how far along I am" I snicker at him as I walk over to my bed and sit down. 

"Cut the shit Betty!" He growls out to me, throwing a bag on my bed next to me but I realize that it isn't just any bag, it THE Bag. The bag that I placed the pregnancy test in. I gulped loudly and slowly turned my head towards his direction. 

"Now I'm going to ask you a question and this time you're going to answer with the truth, why wasn't I the first person you told when you found out?" He asks me

"Why would I?" I retort to him as I stand up, grabbing the bag off the bed and throwing it in the trash since there was no point in hiding them since the one person I didn't want to know, now knows. 

"Because-" Jughead begins then pauses looking guilty for some reason "Because that night I didn't forget the condom, I just didn't use it because I wanted you to get pregnant" He says to me looking at me straight into my eyes.
