And they Were Roommates

Chapter nineteen

Jughead walked into Betty's house, using the same key she had given him, searching for her. Rage boiled inside of him as he reached her bedroom. He swung open the door and she jolted awake.
"Jughead what the hell!" Betty whisper yelled, trying not to wake up Lily.
"Did you sleep with him?"
"What?"
"Did you sleep with him?" Jugheads voice broke.
"Archie?"
"Yes, Archie. Who else?"
"Jughead, please lower your voice. Lily is in the next room."
"Did you?" He whispered.
"That's really none of your business Jughead. You're over me and I'm over you."
"Son of a bitch!" Jughead yelled, hitting the doorframe.
Lily screamed from the other room and Betty glared at Jughead. Not long after Betty walked back into the room and laid Lily in her bed. She led jughead out to the living room. He was breathing heavily with his fists clenched at his sides.
"Juggie, " Betty said cupping his face in her hands. "I didn't sleep with Archie. I couldn't. I couldn't do that to you or Lily."
Jugheads expression softened. "Really?"
"Jug, I love you. Of course I couldn't sleep with someone else when I know you're here. I'm definitely not over you. I don't think I could ever be over you. Trust me, as a mom, you don't get much action."
"I love you Betty," Jughead said.
"Really?"
"Of course I do. I almost died when I saw you kissing Archie. You mean everything to me."
"Juggie, " she started, but was cut off by his lips meeting hers. "Jug, we shouldn't."
"Why, why Betty? We are made for each other."
"Jug if we broke up-"
"We won't."
"But if we did it would be so hard on Lily. On us. I don't want to destroy what we rebuilt."
"Betty please, I just want to be with you. Is that so hard to imagine?"
"No, it's so easy to imagine. Jug I want to be with you, but I have to put our daughter first. She is the most important person in the world to me. I can't hurt her."
"Betty, I want to bring our family together. I want to marry you. I want to have babies with you. I want to grow old with you. I don't ever want to break up. Please, just give me a chance. Give us a chance."
"Okay, " Betty said.
"Really?" Jughead said in shock.
"I want that too."
Jughead lifted her up onto his waist and kissed her. "I love you so much Betty. You have no idea."
Betty nuzzled into his neck. "Jug, I'm really tired and you kind of just woke me up yelled, and kissed me so, can we go to bed?"
Jughead laughed. "Ya, Betts. Let's go to bed."
