Bettys POV
I have had a busy year. After a long bus ride I was in my new home. I saw a diner called Happies and noticed it was open 24 hours. I walked in and was seated and meet my waiter. He looked about my age and gave me a look of pity. I had been crying for ours since my eyes are bloodshot. "Your not from here are you?" "Is it that obvious." "Well here everyone knows everyone and I don't know you, can I sit?" I nod and he sits across form me. "I'm from Riverdale, I left to start new, also I'm Betty." "I'm Alexander and I hope you find what you need, but I can tell one thing you need." "What's that?" "A friend."
We spent the next hour taking and for me eating. He told me his friend Ruby was in search for a roommate and he thinks I should meet her, so he takes me their. Ruby was very nice and we got to know each other and by the end of the night I agreed to move in with her. It was either her or the street so I chose her.
After a few days I was all packed in Ruby's and mine place. But I noticed I was not myself. I was getting sick, then eating way more than normal, also a big indicator was I was 2 months late. I was avoiding the inevitable. Jughead and I had always been so carful but I guess not cause later that day the doctor confirmed I was 3 months pregnant.
On May 15 at 4:03am Juliet Marie Jones was born. She was my new ball of light in my dark world. She was so much like me and her father. She ate like no other and at an early age she took a liking to books and started writing early. On her first birthday I gave her a symbol of safety and love, a copy of jughead's beanie. She never takes it off, not even on the bath. JJ was kept a secret because I was fearful that she would be taken form me. She's all I had left as a reminder of my past and I was not about to let her go.
I was in the middle of bath time with JJ when Alex called me, hey babe what's up...what...he's not with them is he.... no... Ax I'm not leaving you.... ok... love you.
Unbelievable, after a year of nothing then all of a sudden they show up. My life was just getting back on track, I had JJ, and a loving boyfriend. Alex was their for me when I had no one. He's also a great father for JJ, he keeps telling me "I don't care she's not mine by birth, but she is mine at heart". I love Alex and most importantly he loves me and JJ. Once I hear their here I dress JJ and head to Happies.
After that who mess I go inside to check on Alex leaving everyone outside shocked. "Hey, babe are you ok, they looking like they had a tight grip on you?" "Im fine Betts, but what are you doing here, and and JJ should be home." "I wasn't guna throw you to the wolves, this is my past and I have to face it. He kisses me as they all come flooding into the diner. They all looked shock not at JJ, but at Alex. "What, it's been a year and you all decide to show up!"
At this point I'm mad. I give JJ to Alex and they stand behind me. "Betty, who is this guy." "This guy, Veronica is my boyfriend and that father of my child!" "But I thought Jughead was?" "Oh he helped with the process, but Alex is an actual father to JJ." "Then why does she have my last name?!" "Well Jughead at the time of naming her I was still in love with you but after some time I realized how stupid I was being and this week we are suppose to change it to James, that's actually a win win cause we get to keep the J for her nickname." "But we came back for you, we were so wrong and we were hoping you would come back home." "I am home, you all lost me when you replaced me, doesn't feel so good does it, I have a loving daughter, a bunch of true best friends, and a loving boyfriend who gives me the world, now why in Gods name would I every give that up. You all had your chance and you lost it." "But but.." "but nothing Jughead, I dont love you anymore, I love Alex, look I'm sorry you wasted a year looking for me, but I said I don't want to be found." And with that I walked out of the dinner holding Alex's hand we we went home.
Once we got home I put JJ down for her nap and collapsed on mine and Ax bed. "You ok Betty?" He says while placing my head on his stomach and running his hands through my hair. "Yeah, I'm glad I came and faced my past." "I have to admit I was worried," "why babe" "because he was the father your you child." "He can't hold a candle to you, I love you Alex, he had his shot and he blew it big time, and your JJs father." He kiss me and let's just say we made a child of our own. Oh come on JJ was getting lonely.
