Drunken Mistake

Danger

Jughead POV:

I'm not going to lie and pretend that I wasn't hoping for a boy because the truth of the matter is, I was. Knowing that me and Betty are expecting a boy makes my heart jump in pure excitement, though I wouldn't have minded having a girl. 

"Are you happy?" I hear Betty say to me as she climbs into bed after the long day we both had but especially for her since things are getting harder for her to do but admire how she doesn't complain anything other than thinking she's bigger than a whale. "Of course I'm happy Betts. We're having a boy!" I say to her, excitement laced into my voice making her giggle as she snuggles into my body. I lean my chin onto her head stroking her hair and within seconds I hear her cute little snores. I smile slightly then place a kiss onto her head whispering an 'I love you' into her ear, my hands placed on her belly then closing my eyes falling into a deep sleep within seconds with the love of my life and our son making me the happiest guy alive.

Both me and Betty wake up to a crashing sound, I quickly get up putting my shirt on "Stay her" I say to her and rush downstairs. 

I tackle the person who caused the crash and quickly realize that it's Reggie fucking mantle. I grab his collar and connect my fist with his face and continue what I'm doing, not being able to contain my anger. I continue to hit him disregarding where I'm hitting until my dad comes and pulls me off. 

Reggie, groans in pain placing an arm on his stomach and begins to cough then spitting out blood. "Let me kill this fucking asshole! Let me fucking go!" I yell out to my dad, trying my best to get out of my dad's grip but that's when I notice Archie holding me back too. 

"We need him alive Jug, we need answers then after we can kill him" Archie then says, looking over to Reggie with anger as well but honestly I don't want to talk to this piece of shit all I want is to send him down to hell where he belongs for ever thinking of hurting the two people I love most. 

"Calm down boy!" My dad then says to me loosing his grip on me then walking towards Reggie, forcing him up by his arm with the help of Mad Dog, the guy Veronica hired to help protect Betty. 

I glare over at him and continue to keep my eyes on him as my dad and Mad Dog guide him down the stairs. "i'll be back" I say to Archie, rushing up the stairs and see Betty biting her nail nervously as she sits against the headboard, the blanket long discarded. Her head snaps towards my direction in an instant and sighs in relief once she see's me walking through the door. 

She ran over to me and wraps her arms around my neck "Is everything okay? I heard yelling" She says to me as she continues to hold onto me. 

"Reggie is here" I say to her, She pulls away and her eyes instantly get filled with worry and fear. "Hey, we have it all under control. We have him downstairs and we're all here okay?" I ask her but she doesn't seemed convinced. 

"What, what if Toni is around? What if she's already inside babe?" She says to me hysterically. Her eyes getting filled with tears and her breath becoming heavy. 

"I promise you Betty that nothing will happen to you or our son okay? I put that on my life." I say to her, trying to reassure her that I'll do absolutely anything and everything to keep them both safe. 

"that's what I'm afraid of Juggie, that you end up getting hurt and that's the last thing I want. I don't want to lose you or our son." She confesses. Her tears now sliding down her face. I kiss her forehead and bring her back in close to my body "I promise you that I'll be fine baby" I whisper into her ear and before I know it there was a knock on the door and Sweet pea and Fangs were both walking. 

"hey man, your dad called. He needs us downstairs in the basement" Sweet Pea then says to me, I nod my head in understanding. "Tell both Alice and Mr. Andrews to come up here to keep Betty company while we're down there I don't want here alone" I command to them, I hear them going out of the bedroom leaving me and Betty alone for a few seconds. I pull away from her and walk into her closet pulling out an old shoe box. 

"here" I say to her handing her my grandfathers old pistol. 

"What, what is this for Jug?" She asks me, grabbing the gun hesitantly. 

"If Toni comes in here or anyone that you feel like is going to hurt you don't you fucking hesitate to shoot them Betty okay?" I say to her and before we know the door flies open and instantly Betty hides the gun in her vanity. I see Alice and Fred both walking in and telling me that it's okay for me to go downstairs to handle Reggie. I give Betty another kiss, rubbing her belly then walk downstairs as fast as my legs could go. 

I get down to the basement and see Reggie tied up onto a chair while my father is interrogating him, I walk up to them and see Reggie with a swollen eye and a busted lip with blood running down his face. "Has he been talking?" I ask my dad. My dad nods his head no making me clench my fists together then connect one of them into Reggie's face again making him wince in pain. 

"You better fucking start talking I say to him, how dare you make Betty fear for her life when all she should be worrying about is the arrival of our baby!" I growl out to him once again hitting him as hard as I could. "You didn't deserve her but I made a mistake alright!? I let my anger get to me but by the time I repented it was too late. Toni is already out to get Betty and there is nothing I could do to stop it, which is why i'm here" He says to me breathlessly. 

"I don't believe you" I say to him "I do believe that Toni is some sick twisted bitch but I also believe that this might be apart of a plan you guys of planned out and let me tell you, it isn't going to work" I say to him. 

"Believe what you want but you need me since I'm literally the only one who knows what Toni is planning. "He says to me, looking at me with taunting eyes. something within me tells me he isn't being sincere so I'm not taking any chances not when my babies are involved. 

"She isn't going to stop Jones, not until Betty is dead" He then says to me pulling me out of my thoughts. "Betty isn't safe Jones, not while she's still in this house."
