Happy Birthday Jughead

Bettys pov
I wake up groggily the next morning. I look at the bedside clock, it reads 10:14 am. Jughead is no longer in bead, which means he has probably gone to get Emily already. Last night was the first night in 2 years that I had slept without Emily tangled around my body on a small broken mattress. I get out of bed and put nothing on except one of Jugs 'S' T-shirts. I walk downstairs and in the living room are about 30 serpents. I stare wide-eyed at them, and they look me up and down. I ignore them and continue to the kitchen. Sweet pea chirps up and says, "This brings me back, to a very sexy striptease." I poke my tongue out at him and Jughead growls and covers Emily's ears as he says, "asshole." I turn to Emily and say, "Bear, do you want to go upstairs and play with your toys?" She's bouncing on Jugs lap and nods her head. She walks upstairs to her room and then I turn to the serpents and say, "Where were we? Oh yeah, that striptease." I walk over to Jug and he takes off his flannel jumper and wraps it around my waist, preventing me from showing any more of my ass. I get on the glass table in the middle of the room and start to do provocative dance movies. Jughead is glaring at me and around the room to anyone who looks at me. I love it. I get down and straddle Jugs lap, I crush my lips to his and feel the heat rise in my face, our tongues attack each other like crazy and we are getting whistles from the serpents. I pull back and say, "Happy birthday Juggy. Bye guys." I wave to the serpents and head back upstairs.

I change Emily and myself into our bathing suits. Veronica had been updating all of Emily's clothing for when she would come back, she is such a great friend. We walk back downstairs and I tell Emily to wait outside the pool for me. All the serpents are still in the living room, and Fangs says to Jug, "Dude, you are so lucky to have, that... everyday." "I know," I hear Jughead respond. I ask Jug if he has any camera's and he asks why. "It's Emily's first official swim ever, so I want to document it." He gets up from the sofa and walks down the corridor, a few moments later he comes back with a camera and I clap my hands. "You get excited over the strangest things he mumbles." "Oh yeah," I flirt. "Mhmm," he responds. He gives me a kiss and squeezes my ass, "Oh no, no no no," I giggle. And begin to walk towards the pool. "Betts," Jug says just before I reach the door, "why don't all of the serpents join you guys?" He looks at the serpents who all portray the face of kids on Christmas morning. "Yeah, sure!" I gleam, "the more the merrier."

We all walk outside and Emily has her feet over the edge. Jug and the other serpents take out their phones, watches, wallets and then I go around collecting weapons they had on hand. "I understand that you guys are the largest gang in the country, but is all this really necessary?!" I walk inside with all of their crap and place it on the dining table. I sit on a lounge chair and Jughead slides into the water. He puts his arms out for Emily, who reluctantly gets into them, "Don't let go daddy!" she kept on saying and he reassured her, he wouldn't. Other serpents got in and watched as Emily's fascination with the water grew. I turn my head to face the house. A familiar face walks out towards the pool, at first I thought he was a serpent, but, then I remembered who he was. One of the Ghoulies that kidnapped me and Emily. He walks up to me and picks me up, which gets everyone's attention. He hovers me over the pool edge and I begin to scream. Jughead tells him to put me down and all the serpents tell him to cut it out. "You bitch," he seethes and drops me into the water. Jug rushes over to me and I instantly panic. The water around me and the drowning is all too familiar. When Penny waterboarded me for secret serpent information. I begin to freak out and Jug pulls me out of the water, I try to tell him what troubles me, but all that comes out are shrieking singular words. "Penny!...Stop!... Drowning!...Secrets!" Then everything goes dark.

Betty blacks out. "Hey Betts! Your ok baby." She wasn't responding. Emily, who's left on the side of the pool hanging onto the wall, started to cry and call for Betty. I pick Betty up and wrap her in a towel. I look towards the young-man who dropped her in the pool, "What the hell!" I yell. "I am your serpent KING! You obey me!" Emily's crying even more now, I can't bear to be the reason for her ocean of tears. I turn back for a moment to the three of the serpents, "Take Emily upstairs." I call over Seet pea who takes Betty inside. Then I returned my attention to the kid that ruined this family time for me. "What was that!" he doesn't speak or show any emotion. "You are not my King. You are my enemy! I am Damenyor, the successor of Penny Peabody." I stare at him and realise that he was apart of Betty's kidnapping. I take one spring at him and knock him out. "Take him to the bar for interrogation," I turn to the other 20 serpents getting out of the pool. Then I go inside and find Emily. She still has red circles that accentuate the fact she has been crying, but the actual flow of tears has stopped. "Hey Bear," I say. And she runs into my arms. I have put on t-shit but she still has her wet bathers on. Toni walks into the room with Cheryl and offers to bath and dress Emily while I go check in Betty. I ask Emily if she wants me to stay but she runs up to her Aunty Cheryl and into her arms. "I guess not," I say.

I walk down the stairs to the living room where Betty is hugging sweat pea and sobbing into his chest. Though I know sweet pea is being a good friend, the sight of them like this makes me really jealous. I go over to the couch and sit next to Betty. When I touch her leg she recoils, then looks at me and falls into my arms. I hold her and rock slightly, "Hey, Betts, it's ok." I turn to sweet pea and give him a concerned look that says, 'what wrong with her?'. He shrugs and I continue focussing on Betty.  Sweet pea and I pick her up and take her to our room. He helps me get her into the bathroom and I run a warm bath. Before I remove her swimsuit, I look at him to give the cue to leave. "Oh don't worry, I don't mind," he says. "Well, I do. Get out." He rolls his eyes and leaves the bathroom. 

After the bath, Betty started to kiss me, while I helped her dress. "Betts," I mumbled through her kisses. She pushes me down onto the carpet in the wardrobe, then straddles my lap and finishes putting on her top. She moves her pelvis and starts to dry hump me. Then the door to our room opens and she gets off me almost immediately. We walk out of the closet and Fangs is at the door. "Hey," betty says to him, "we'll be out in one moment." She shuts the door and then takes my hand and walks to the bed. I thought she was going to finish what she started, but instead, she opened up to me about the waterboarding torture and how that kid was a Ghoulie. I take her into a hug and we walk back out of the room. I feel like she finally wants to open up to me and make this relationship work. I hold her hand and we go into Emily's room. "Wake-up Bear," Betty coos. She is in her crib and she opens her eyes tiredly. "Daddy, when can I get a big girl bed?" Emily asks me. I look over to Betty, and say, "Now?" Betty shrugs and nods her head. So I turn to Emily and follow up, "Yeah... Tomorrow seems good." She claps her hands and we walk downstairs. The serpents have all set up a poker game and are smoking cigars, drinking alcohol and having a good time. Betty turns to me and says, "I am going to go watch a movie with Emily, Juggy." "Ok, I'll come," I responded. "No, you stay here. Have fun with your friends!" "I have fun with you," I tell her back. She leans over, and whispers int my ear, "Trust me. We will have plenty of birthday fun tonight. ALL. NIGHT. LONG." I smirk and give her a kiss before she returns back upstairs with Emily.

"Emily and I are watching 'The Lion King,' and she keeps making me rewind the same 'Hakuna Matata' song. On the 6th time, she now knows all the words and I continue the movie. Jug walks upstairs at about 5:30 pm. "Hey guys," he says. "Hi, daddy!" Emily waves at him and continues to lie in my lap and watch the movie. I move forward a bit to allow Jug room to slide in behind me, and he does. Once the movie finishes we go downstairs to have dinner as a family. The table is set already and there are two candles lit. "Juggg. This is so cute. But I should have done this for you," I tell him. Cheryl comes forward and I take her into a hug. She looks at Jughead and says, "she's all packed?" Jughead hands Cheryl a backpack and he passes Emily to her. "Where is she going?" ask him. "She's going to stay at thistle-house with Cheryl and Toni." "Alrighttttt," I say adjusting to this new plan. "By bear," I say and kiss the crown of her head. I watch bear leave with Cheryl down past the driveway. When I turn back around, Jughead is down on one knee and has a stunning diamond ring. I am now shaking and my vision goes blurry from tears of joy. "Betty Cooper," he begins, "will you do me the greatest privilege on earth, and be my wife?"
