Bugheads Baby

Girl troubles

Jugheads pov

The next day I wake up with Betty lying on my chest. The baby monitor shows Emily awake sitting in her cot playing with her toy rabbit. I decided that if she's not crying or hungry I won't go get her, but I wonder if that's me being selfish because I want to stay here with Betty. About 20 minutes later Betty wakes up and I am stroking her head. "Morning baby," I say. She smiles and rolls off my chest and goes into Emily's room, so I follow her. She picks Emily up and out of her cot and hands her to me. We walk downstairs and she asks, "what do you guys want for breakfast?". Emily chimes in and say, "Hot bread and apple." "Hot bread?" I ask Betty. "Toast," Betty replies, and I chuckle. "Dada?" "Yes bear?" "Bath please?" "Ok.. but In about 1 hour." "Why?" "Mommy and daddy have to unpack all your suitcases and clothing. "Ok." Betty then says to Emily, "Bear, do you want to go watch a movie while you wait for us to unpack your clothing?" She nods, and I pick her up and place her in the theatre room and tell her not to go up or downstairs without mommy or daddy's help. She nods and puts on the same movie we were watching yesterday. 

I go back downstairs to Betty who is cleaning up in the kitchen. I go over and help her rinse the plates and put them in the dishwasher. Then I wrap my arms around her stomach, just before I can give her a kiss, there is a knock at the door. I go over and open it, Sandra gives me a peck on the lips and walks inside. "Hey Jug," she said. Betty stands in the kitchen completely unphased. "Sandra. What are you doing here?" I ask her. "It's Wednesday... we scheduled a date today Jug." She looks over at Betty and then turns to me, "I didn't know you had company," she says apologetically. Betty walks over with a smile and shakes Sandra's hand, "Hi, I'm Betty, and I was just leaving anyway." "No your not," I tell her. "Yes, I am. I am staying at Veronica and Archies." "No," I enforce again. "Jughead, you are being rude to your..." she gestures to Sandra and Sandra says, "girlfriend." Betty says, "I just have to get something from upstairs and then I'm leaving." Betty runs up the stairs and walks down with OUR daughter, "Bath time?" Bear asks. "Yes Bear, but we are going to have a bath at Aunty V's." "No, I want to stay at da..." Betty covers her mouth preventing the word, 'daddy,' from leaving her lips. "No bear," Betty says, "Goodbye Jughead, and it was nice meeting you, Sandra." "Betty you are not leaving again," I run in front of her and Emily is kicking, screaming, reaching out for me and calling 'daddy.' "Please calm down bear," Betty begs. I look over at Sandra who is very confused. "I'm sorry Sandra, I sound like a," I cover Emily's ears and then continue speaking, "dick, but you were my rebound from Betty. Betty is my girlfriend and this is my daughter Emily." I take her out of Betty's hands and Emily stops crying. 

Bettys pov

I interject, "No... I WAS your girlfriend, but now I'm your EX-girlfriend." I cover bears ear, "You seriously couldn't keep it in your pants jug." He sowls at me and puts Emily down. "You were gone. With my daughter for TWO whole years. Sandra was nice to me!" Jug yells. "JUGHEAD! seriously, that's fine. I am leaving with bear and you and her can have some quality boyfriend and girlfriend time. Come on bear." I look down and I don't see her, "Bear," say again. I scream, she's waddling over to the pool which has no fence around it. Jug and I look at each other and sprint after her. "Bear stop!" we are both yelling at the top of our lungs. She is giggling and laughing and then she falls into the pool. Jughead and I dive straight in after her and he picks her up. We get out of the pool and I hold her. "Are you ok bear?" She nods and claps the words, "Bath, Bath!" I take her inside and there is Sandra standing really awkwardly. I turn to Jug and say, "I am going to change my daughter and then we are leaving. I suggest that you go and make it up to your girlfriend for being an asshat." I carry bear upstairs as she is shivering cold. "Bear never have a bath without mommy again." "Ok, mommy." I run the child-size bath and place her in it. I decide to get one of Jugs t-shirts and just put her in that until we get into the car. I am changing Emily's nappy when Jug walks into the room. "Hey," he says, "how is she?" "Fine," I reply. "Sandra's gone. I broke up with her." "That's a shame, she seemed really sweet," I tell him. "Betty why don't you love me anymore." I sigh and finish Emily's nappy and place her in the cot. She immediately falls asleep and I exit the room with Jughead not far behind me. 

"Don't you get it Jughead? I love you so much it hurts. And because I know who you are, I can't love you. If I love you then some woman is going to be prettier than me or smarter or braver and you would break up with me. And I owe it to myself and my daughter to not get heartbroken." "Betty," he begins, "there is nobody that could ever replace you in my heart." "Sandra did," I interject. "No, she didn't. She distracted me from the hole that you left," he said to me. I slump down against the wall and bury my face in my hands. "Betty," he crouches down in front of me and lifts up my chin, "when are you going to figure out, just how much I love you." "Did you and Sandra ever... you know... have sex." "No Betty." 

I get up and head towards our room, "Where are you going?" he asks me. "I am cold and wet, I need a shower."  He looks at me and says, "I'm cold and wet too." "Good for you," I tell him, "there are like 4 other bathrooms in this house, use one of those." He chuckles and then picks me up and throws me over his shoulder. "Put me down!" "Shh," he says, "don't wake up Bear." "Forsythe Pendleton Jones III, put me down." We enter the bathroom and he puts me down. "I'll tell you what," I say, "I'll ask you a question about what you did when Emily and I had to leave. If you answer, then I will strip an item of clothing, if you choose to not answer 1 then you get out." "What happens when you're completely naked?" he smirks. "I'll let you shower with me." "Deal," he says. 

"Did you see any other women nacked aside from me?"

"Betty. If I answer some of these things, you're going to leave again."

"No, I won't."

"Promise?"

"Yes Jughead, I promise."

"Ok. The answer to your question is Yes."

I sigh and take off my shoes. 

Did you touch any nacked women?

"Yes," he admits reluctantly.

I take off my socks.

"Have you ever killed someone."

"Yes."

I take out my ponytail

"Do you love anyone else but me?"

"Yes."

I take of my top.

"Who?"

"Emily."

I smile at that because he saw that I was jealous. I take off my shorts. I don't have any more questions for him so I strip down completely and let him claim his pize.
