We had lunch and after that I went to pops
P(pop)- hey Betty, that's a while ago how are you? B- I'm great pop, we'll we are great P-we? B- I'm pregnant. Jug and I didn't want to tell everyone yet but if I wanted to work here I knew he would ask questions P- really? That's great news Betty! B- yea, but jug and I want to keep it private for a while P- ofcourse, so what can I get you? B- I actually wanted to ask if I could work here, I decided to stop with school and earn some money for my little family P- well that would be great I already needed some extra help in the shop, when can you start? B- as soon as possible P- is tomorrow afternoon okay for you? B- yea, totally, thanks pop! P- no problem Betty, I'll see you tomorrow B- bye pop P- bye Betty.
I got back home and told jug the news J- that's great babe! We made out and walked to our room. We sat down on our bed and jug cuddled me close. B- juggie, can we start working on the baby room? J- but babe we don't know the gender yet B- yea but we can empty the room. J- okay sure. I had never been in the storage room before because the door was always locked, even the door in our room that led there was. But jug got the key and we walked in J- I haven't been in here for so long B- it's big J- yea it is. The room was full of old boxes with random stuff in it. J- it's gonna take a while to sort this out B- yea but together we can do it juggie. I kissed him gently and laid my head on his shoulder. We started looking through the boxes, most of them were filled with old clothes and some of them had picture books and other personal stuff. Then we came across a box of pictures and clothes of jugs mom, I found it and asked B-
juggie what do you want to do with this? He looked in the box and said J- burn it, she will too. B- wow jeez juggie that's dark J- I don't want to think of her ever again. B- okay babe we'll get rid of it.
All the old clothes we couldn't use anymore we donated, there were only four boxes left all filled with other stuff, we started to look through them. B- jug don't you have any stuff from when you and jelly were a baby, like clothes and toys? J- no my mom threw them all away B- oh. J- babe I know it's gonna cost a lot but we can do this, I know we can B- I love you jug. J- I love you too. I hugged him.
Jughead
Betty and I were working in the new baby room for the last 2 hours and I could see Betty was
getting really tired J- baby lets go to sleep B- why? J- I can see you're tired B- I'm not juggie J- you are babe, just go to bed you have your first day of work tomorrow remember? B- oh yea, maybe we should go to sleep, but can we take a bath first? I really need to wash my hair but I don't want to stand up the whole time in the shower. J- ofcourse baby.
We walked to the bathroom and Betty sat down on the side of the bath while I got our pajamas. I turned on the water and we undressed ourselves. I looked at Betty J- wow you're beautiful. B- you're too juggie. J- I hope our little angel is a girl and she'll be as beautiful as you. I kissed her lips and we stepped in the bathtub.
When we where done we stepped out and put on our pajamas. I cuddled Betty close and kissed her head. J- goodnight baby. She giggled B- which one? I grinned J- both of you. I kissed her
stomach J-*whispers*goodnight little one. B- you're so sweet J- I can't wait untill she's here. B- she? J- yea I think it's going to be a she. B- me too, it's like a mother's instinct I guess J- I love you. B- I love you too. And with that we went to sleep
Next morning
I woke up, Betty was still asleep so I went downstairs and made her breakfast. A little later she came downstairs. J-hey babe I made you breakfast. B- thank you juggie. She ate it and we cuddled on the couch untill Betty had to get to work
Betty
It was noon and I was getting ready for my first
day at work, I didn't know what I needed to do yet and I didn't have my uniform so I just got on my jeans and a t-shirt. When it was time I was about to walk out when jug said J- babe can I walk you to work? Then I can pick up some milkshakes for me jelly and dad and I can see do your job. B- juggie you don't have to walk me I'll be fine. J- are you sure angel? B- angel? J- oh I'm sorry if you don't like it that's- B- don't be sorry I like it. I smiled and walked to pops.
When I got there pop was standing behind the bar P- hey Betty, you're right on time, this is Cheryl she just started here you might know her
C-Betty? Since when do you work here? B- uhm, well since today... since when do you work here? C- for about a week now, but only on the weekends. B- oh, I'm going to work here
fulltime. C- really? Are you dropping out of school? B- yea, it's uhm because uhm, I C- wait! Does is have something to do with jughead bought? B- yea, but you can't tell anyone. C- Betty you're pregnant? B- yes, and were keeping it. C- omg I cant wait for the bughead baby! B- Cheryl dont yell so loud C- oh sorry Betty. I won't tell anyone, I promise B- thanks Cheryl.
Pop explained what I had to do and gave me my uniform. I quickly dressed myself in the bathroom and then started to work. Most of the time I was behind the bar but I also had to take people's orders. Then I saw someone walk in... I looked at her and immediately knew who it was... Polly cooper.
She came up to me and said P- hey, so you're a failure now? B- what do you mean? P- if you wouldn't have sent mom and dad to jail you
wouldn't have to work right now! B- well, I like working and my life is way better now then it was before. P- yea, but mine isn't, you selfish bitch. Just give me my usual. And with that she sat down. I gave her her usual, a banana milkshake, a burger and some onion rings. I was about to walk away when she dropped her milkshake on the ground. P- oops, I guess the waiters are going to have to clean that up? B- Polly, seriously? C- Betty I'll clean it B- no it's fine Cheryl I'll do it P- shut up you, let Betty do it. C-no I'll do it, Betty you can take their order. She pointed at a table on the other side of the restaurant. I walked away and took their ordered. Right before my shift ended Cheryl came up to me C- hey Betty are you done already? B- yea, jughead doesn't want me to work too late, he thinks it's bad for the baby C-
ahw, jughead is such a cute guy. B- yea he is, he's coming to pick me up in a bit. C- that's cute, but Betty I wanted to ask who was that girl that was so rude to you? B- that's Polly my older sister, she blames me for my parents going to jail. C- oh, I'm sorry for what she did B- it's fine. Then jughead walked in
J- wow you look good in your work outfit B- thanks juggie J- are you ready to go home? B- yea, I just have to tell pop I'm leaving J- okay I'll wait here. I went in the back and walked up to pop B- hey pop, jughead is here P- okay, I'll see you next time Betty. B- bye pop P- bye. I walked out and jughead kissed me J- I love you B- I love you too. We walked home together.
