5: Morning

Betty wakes up the next day when Jughead climbs out of the bed. She whines quietly when her eyes barely open and the guy is quick to kiss her head.

"Keep on sleeping, baby," he whispers.

She falls back asleep. 

The next time she wakes, she doesn't feel too comfy anymore and just jumps out of the bed. With her thumb loosely in her mouth, she wonders downstairs and stops on the stair when she hears other peoples's voices.

"No worries, man. I'll take her to Fangs's today."

Betty leans against the wall next to the stairs and keeps on sucking on her thumb. As long as nobody can see her she is fine.

"Okay," she hears Jughead. "Behave today, Ronnie."

"I will!" 

It's a little girl's voice and Betty frowns at the loudness of it.

"Thanks for the clothes, guys. I'll see you soon."

"Yep. Bye."

"Bye, uncle Juggie!"

"Goodbye," he chuckles and closes the door.

Betty is still standing on the stairs when he heads that way and they both stop when their eyes lock.

Jughead smiles. "Good morning, sweetheart."

Betty drops her thumb from her mouth with her hand. "Morning," she whispers.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Mhm... Who was that?"

"Oh," he says and places the paper bag on the ground. "My friend Archie brought you a few pair of his little girl's clothes so that you'd have something to wear when we go shopping."

"Oh," Betty says.

Jughead chuckles and gently takes her hand, leading her to the kitchen. "Are you hungry?"

"Mhm."

"Do you have any ideas for breakfast?"

Betty thinks for a minute before looking at the cup in his hand. "Coffee."

He chuckles. "You want coffee?"

A pout forms on her lips. "Yes."

Jughead smiles and places the cup down. He kisses the top of her head before moving to the fridge and takes out a juicebox of some kind. He shakes it for a second and then pokes the straw through it.

"What's that?" Betty asks when he gives it to her.

"Coffee for little girls."

The girl pouts at the fact that she's not allowed to taste the weird smelling liquid he drinks all the time. she takes a sip of the chocolate milk in her hand. Then, of course, it's done with a minute.

Jughead by that time is smiling to himself while making an omelet, and when Betty places the empty carton next to his stuff on the counter, he raises his eyebrows and looks at her.

The blond is smiling big with her hands on the counter and making her feet disappear just to swing in the air.

"That's it?" Jughead chuckles.

"Uh huh."

He shakes his head with a smile. "Was it good?"

"Uh huh. More?"

That makes him smile even more. She is absolutely precious. "That's enough coffee for one day, sweetheart."

"Please?" Her eyes go wide and he is almost unable to say no, but then he shakes his head.
