    Betty sat with Lily on her lap and Cheryl brought out a bowl of mac and cheese. Betty fed it to Lily while Cheryl and Toni sat down.
    "So, Cher. When are you due?"
    "I..."
    "Eight months," Toni answered.
    "Are you and daddy breaking up?" Lily asked through a mouth full of macaroni.
    "No baby, we just had a little fight."
    "You promise?"
    "Of course, I love your daddy very much. We are not breaking up."
    "Do you really mean that?" Jughead asked, waking into the house.
    "Cher, can you please take Lily into the backyard?"
    Cheryl nodded picking up Lily and Toni grabbed her lunch bringing her out to the yard. Jughead walked over to Betty and brushed her hair behind her ear.
    "I'm sorry I lied to you. And I'm sorry I drank. I'm also sorry that I wasn't careful."
    "Oh, Juggie I forgive you," Betty said, hugging him.
    Jughead kissed the top of her head and smiled. "I'm sorry I embarrassed you on your show."
    "That's alright. It didn't stop people from buying my book."
    "I swear, another drop of alcohol will never touch my lips again."
    "Thank you."
    "Anything for my beautiful wife."
