"Are you ready?" Jughead asked Betty as she sat on the edge of the bed and he put something in the stroller.

"Ready as I'll ever be," Betty said determinedly as she got up from the bed.

Both of them smiled, and they left the room together. They both walked down the hall as Jughead rolled the stroller with everybody staring, but they didn't really care. They were just happy to be back.

They went to reception to check out and the nurse wished as she typed, "I hope you stay safe and well, Ms. Cooper!"

"I will, have a great day!" Betty said as they started to walk away.

"You too!" the nurse said.

Everyone still stared, but they went out of the hospital doors, and stood outside.

"Wow, it's really nice out here." Betty said, taking in the aroma of the outdoors.

"I mean, you've been cooped up in a hospital room for a week, so..." Jughead joked as he and Betty laughed.

They were quiet for a second, and then Betty asked, "What are we going to do now?"

"I don't know, maybe we could go back to Dilton's bunker or..." Jughead started to suggest.

"Or you could come back home," FP said as he and Alice walked up to them.

"Wait--you really mean it?" Jughead questioned.

"Yes, we both really want you to come back home and we'd love to see the twins and you two be in our lives  again," Alice told them.

"That sounds good to me, but what do you think Betty?" Jughead responded.

Betty didn't say anything for a minute which made FP and Alice both nervous and a little bit upset, but then she smiled and said, "I'd love that."

Alice and FP were relieved and smiled. Alice went over and hugged Betty, and FP hugged Jughead. FP then hugged Betty, and Alice hugged Jughead.

"We got something for the twins," Alice told Betty and Jughead as they walked over to the car and FP opened the car door.

"OMG CAR SEATS!" Betty said in awe.

"And there's more to come," Alice said.

"I love them!" Betty squealed, jumping around in a circle.

"We really appreciate it," Jughead said simply as FP and Alice laughed.

Jughead took PenPen out of the stroller, and Betty took Juliet out of the stroller, and they both put them in their new car seats. The twins both had happy expressions on their faces which made Betty and Jughead happy. Jughead and Betty got in the back seat with the twins, and shut the doors next to them.

FP started to drive away, and Alice said, "We have a surprise for you guys at home."

"What more could you surprise us with?" Jughead asked as he and Betty chuckled.

"Oh, you'll see," FP said, smiling.

After about fifteen minutes, they arrived home to the house Betty and Jughead hadn't seen for months.

Everyone got out of the car, and Betty and Jughead just admired the sight of their house.

White paint, a red door, a nice front yard, furnished nicely, and perfectly lined up on Elm Street. It made Betty and Jughead nostalgic just remembering all the memories they made in that house together. It's chaotic, but it most certainly was home.

Jughead and Betty ran into their house, forgetting their children ever existed, and ran up the stairs into their room. They both twirled around, jumped and laid back in the bed next to each other.
