No one ever said that it would be this hard

Chapter 37

♾ Jughead ♾

"Come on, let's go outside for a walk" I said, standing in front of the couch.

"You know, this belly weighs a lot, Jug"

"And you've been staying here for hours. Come on, your legs need a little exercise. And we both weren't outside much recently" Betty groaned, though then nodded and got up. We walked over to the hallway and got on a jacket. Though before we left, I headed upstairs to get my camera.

I might see something.

I grabbed my keys and then we headed outside. Behind me, I locked the door before intertwining mine and Betty's hand. Then we started to walk without anywhere specific to go to, not really at least. On the way, she abruptly stopped, making me stop as well as I turned around to face her.

"Everything okay? Is something wrong?" I asked and Betty just shook her head, smiling softly.

"No, everything is okay. One of them is kicking"

"Really? Can I... Can I rest my hands on your stomach, see if I can feel them?"

"You can try" I nodded and hesitantly rested my hands on her stomach "wait, let me open my jacket, so that you have a better chance"

"Okay, but then we can't take too long, I don't want you to get sick again" she nodded and then opened the zipper of her jacket. I rested my hands against her belly again then "was that the baby?" I asked, when I thought that I felt something. Betty nodded, smiling softly. I smiled as well, not being able to get enough of them.

This was just amazing. 

The twins are miracles.

Just like Juliet was.

When I had felt enough and was done with being overwhelmed by the experience, I pulled my hands away and then zipped her jacket close again. After that, I just pulled her in a hug. Betty laughed, hugging me back.

"I love you, Betty, I really do"

"I love you too, Jug" I pulled away.

"Can I kiss you?"

"Yes, of course" I nodded and cupped her face before pulling her in a kiss. After that, we continued walking. I took some photos of Betty while we were walking through the park, though we soon headed back home. I didn't want her to cool out and her hands were already cold by the time that we arrived at Pickens park. Besides, I was dizzy and just wanted to take a nap at this point.

Back home, I made some tea for us to warm up again, holding hands with Betty to make sure that she was getting warm again. Tea was helping my stomach and the headache as well. When the water boiler signaled that the tea was warm enough, I poured it in two cups with a chamomile tea bag in each. While walking back, I had to stand up from the chair and black spots started to appear, so I just stayed still for a few moments until they disappeared again. Once the dizziness was manageable again, I continued walking over to the living room, where I put both cups on the coffee table before sitting down. As soon as I laid down, I passed out.

It happened a few times already.

Nothing to worry about.
