Jughead POV

Today Kevin and Archie invited some of his friends over to hang out. So Betty and I are going.

"Why do we have to have a baby sitter?" Pj whines.

"Because you're ten and it's grandma" I say. Then the door bell rings.

"I'll get it" betty smiles and walks to the door.

"Hey You feeling okay" Alice asks Betty as they walk into the living room.

"Yeah I'm fine, Just tired." Witty says and sits on the couch.

"If you're tired we can stay here" I say and she shakes her head no.

"Well let's get going" she says and we say goodbye and then we leave.

Later

I was taking with Archie and Reggie in the kitchen when we hear something fall.

"What the he-" I start to say

"Jughead!" I hear Veronica scream.

I walk into the living room and see Betty passed out on the floor.

"What that hell happened" I ask and rush to her side.

"I don't know. She said she needed air and once she stood up she passed out" Kevin says.

"I gotta take her to the ER" I say and pick her up and walk to our car.

Later

Once we go to the hospital, Betty woke up and they took her blood to see what's wrong.

"I just hope I'm okay" Betty says.

"Me too. I called you mom and told her what happened. She says she can watch them until we get home" I say and she nods. Then the doctor walks into the room.

"Hey" I say and the doctor nods at me.

"I have some news to tell you about Elizabeth." He says

"Okay" Betty says and grabs my hand.

"Elizabeth has leukemia" he says and I feel my heart stop. I feel like all the air is sucked out of my lungs.

"What?" Betty says.

"You have leukemia. We caught it early so we can have you start with treatments." He says.

Later

"She's alsleep" I say and sit at the counter next to Alice.

"What are we gonna do" I sigh and my eyes tear up. "How are we supposed to tell our kids that their mother is sick and... I don't know" I sob.

"Jughead you just have to be their for Betty and you're kids." Alice says and rubs my back.

"She starts chemo in 2 days, can you watch the kids I'm gonna go with her" I say.

"Yeah sure I'll stay over and help out okay." She says and I nod.

"I'm gonna go to bed." I say and walk upstairs.

The next morning

I wake up to Betty crying on my chest.

"Hey dimples what's wrong?" I ask her.

"I don't wanna die" she sobs. I sit up.

"No don't think like that baby. You are so fucking strong. You at gonna beat the fuck out this cancer. You aren't gonna die." I say.

"My dad was strong too and he didn't make it" she sobs.

"Baby we caught early, you have a bigger chance at beating it then your dad did" I say and hold her head to my chest.

"I'm so sorry Jug" she cries.

"You don't have to apologize. You're hurting and confused. But I love you and we're gonna get through this together" I say.

"I love you too" she says and I wipe her eyes.

"You're gonna best Cancers fucking ass and he's not gonna know what hit him" I say and she giggles.

"I love you so much" she smiles at me.

"I love you too." I say.
