Drunken Mistake

Uh-Oh

Betty POV:

I hardly got any sleep last night, despite of having my mom and Mr. Andrews in the room with me I still couldn't bring myself to shut my eyes and fall into a deep sleep the way I can when Jughead is besides me. I sit up against the headboard with my hands resting on my belly as I stare over to the door feeling anxious. 

I don't understand why Reggie and Toni can't just leave us the hell alone. I'm so angry at myself for trusting them and actually believing that they actually cared about me. I scoff as my eyes land on an old picture of Toni and I in freshmen year, I stood up as quickly as I could from my bed and walk over to my shelf where the frame sits at. I look down at the photo and before I know it I throw it across the room in anger causing a shattering noise once it lands on the wall breaking the glass and the frame. I take a deep breath but before I got the chance to pick up the mess, Jughead storms in. 

"What the hell happened?" He asks me trying to catch his breath, I shrug my shoulders then look towards the mess I caused. He looks over then turns his attention back over to me with a sad expression on his face. He walks over to the mess and picks up the frame and the photo that was inside of it. 

"I get that you're angry Betts, I'm angry too but you're pregnant and that isn't good for our son" He says to me, throwing the photo and the frame in the trash can. 

"No, Toni and Reggie is what isn't good for me and our son. Yet they keep popping back into our lives" I say to him, the tears now coming out of my eyes but these tears aren't out of sadness or pain, they're caused by anger and despair. 

"Did you sleep good?" He then asks me, trying to change the subject.

I nod my head no, crossing my arms across my chest causing Jughead to sigh. He takes his beanie off of his head running his hands through his hair noticing how stressed he also feels with this whole situation. "i'm sorry" I mutter out to him. Jughead snaps his head up and looks over at me with furrowed eyebrows clearly confused " Why are you apologizing?" He asks me. 

"Because I'm being difficult." I reply to him, looking towards the side biting my lip. 

I see him walking towards me from the side of my eye, grabbing my wrist and pulling me towards him. I drop my hands down to the sides of my body as I feel him snaking his arms around my waist "Listen, I know this whole ordeal sucks so I understand that you're upset, you have every right to be baby. I'm not judging you or will I ever, all I want is to make sure that you take it easy" He says to me, his hands now cupping my face. I look down at the ground then rake my eyes slowly up to meet his eyes with tears still pooling down. 

"I love you" Is all I'm able to say to him, looking straight into his beautiful blue eyes. Feeling both vulnerable and overwhelmed by everything that is happening right now. Hating the fact that both Jughead and I didn't get the chance to celebrate that we're having a boy properly. I get pulled into his embrace hiding my face in the crook of his neck as he caresses my back gently "I love you too Betts, I promise you that all of this will end soon" He says to me, feeling the reassurance in his voice despite not knowing any details since he won't tell me any of them and I suppose it's for the best for both me and the baby. 

"Come on, lets lay you down so you can get some sleep" He whispers into my ear, guiding me towards my bed and laying me down. He kisses my forehead while he holds my hand gently into his, I feel my eyes slowly closing and before I know it I fall into a deep sleep. 

Jughead POV:

"How is she?" Archie asks me as I walk down the stairs, his face filled with worry. 

I take a deep breath and look back up towards Betty's room and look back down to look at Archie "Not to good man but honestly what did we expect?" I say to him, walking into the kitchen and pouring myself a cup of water then taking a drink out of it. 

"Your dad took Reggie already" He mentions to me, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. I place the cup down and simply nod my head. 

"Do you think we should do what he says?" I then ask Archie, not being about to take everything Reggie said out of my head. Archie cocks up and eyebrow as if he's waiting for me to go more in detail about what I mean. I sigh, placing my hands onto the counter "About us moving Betty out of this house since Toni knows how to get in and out of here without getting seen" I say to him. 

"I don't know Jug, everything that Reggie says to us is hard for me to believe now.....I mean this could all be part of their plan so we really need to be careful with every movement we make and every decision." He says now standing up straight. I nod my head in understand since he really does have a point, we can't trust anything Reggie says but then again we shouldn't take some of it into consideration. 

Just then the door barges open and Alice walks in with a huge smile on her face with several bags in her hands "They had a bunch of cute little clothes for babies at target so I got my grandson a bunch, wanna see?" She says to me, placing the bags onto the counter as she begins to bring out the little clothes she got my son.

3 Month later:

Betty POV

"I don't understand why they chose you to watch me today" I growl out to Reggie as he walks into my bedroom with a nervous smile on his face. 

"Betty, everyone here trusts me now. I'm not here to hurt you, I made a mistake but I promise you that I just want what's best for you and to protect you." He says to me. Placing his hands into his pockets

"Just because Archie and Veronica trust you now means that Jughead and I do too. Once Jughead finds out that you're the one who was left to watch me, he's going to lose his shit" I hiss out once again but before I know I hear a voice from behind me "Oh but by the time he gets here, you won't be here" I hear her says, I widen my eyes and quickly turn to look at Toni who has a sick smirk plastered onto her face. 

I try to run out of my bedroom but Reggie gets in my way, "I really don't want to hurt you Betty" He says to me with tears then suddenly I'm hit with something in the back of my head knocking me out. 

Toni POV:

"Three months mantle? Really?" I hiss out to Reggie as he picks Betty up from the ground. 

"Well It was hard to get people to trust me" he replies to me. "And besides you needed her to get closer to her due date so she'd have the baby sooner rather than later right?" He asks me as he begins to walk out of the bedroom. 

"You have a point, now lets go before Jughead and the Serpents come back" I command and walk down the stairs, feeling the victory within me. I smile as I walk out of the house taking in the fresh air.
