Swallowing the bile that was rising upwards in her throat. Her eyes glued on the test in her hands. Paleness quickly washed over her face and neck.

Kneeling down in front of her he looked up into her tearful eyes. "I'm sorry Betty." He husked out. He reached up to cup her face in the palms of his hands.

She stiffened up.

He stroked her cheeks with his thumbs. Tears in his own eyes. "It's going to be all right Betty. You, and I, and this little one. We are going to be all right." Jughead whispered as love for their unborn child filled his soul. Happiness shinned in his eyes.

Her blue green eyes slowly lifted to meet his and she knew that they would be okay. She swallowed and felt peace in her soul. She knew that he would never ever leave her and their child ... not with such love for their child all ready in his soul. She softly smiled. "I love you Juggie." She husked out.

He watery smiled; "I love you Betty."

"But how are we going to tell my parents?" Fear entered her soul at the thought of her mother's reaction to the news of yet another pregnant daughter whom was still in high school. Sheer fear filled her at the thought of her father's reaction to the news.

"Hey. Hey." Jughead gently pulled her from the toliet lid down to his lap. "Hey. Hey." He rested her head against his collar bone. "No matter what this child will be safe and protected. I promise."

She began to shake as the fear hit her.

"What did you do!" Veronica stormed as she stood in the entry to her insuit bathroom looking down at the shaking Betty in Jughead's arms.

Betty tightened her hold on Jughead.

Veronica watched as Jughead ever so lovely and protecting held Betty to him; whispering in her ear. She knew that Betty wasn't like this due to Jughead Jones. "Sorry." She spoke in a low voice. She looked down at Betty's hands and saw the pregnancy test. "Get her to my bed; I'm sure she'll be more comfortable snugging against you on a comfortable bed." She stepped out of the bathroom as she watched as Jughead ever carefully stood to his feet; making sure Betty was secure against him as he stepped out of the bathroom.

Jughead his way over to the bed; and gently laid Betty in the center. He laid next to his girlfriend; and felt her rest her head against his chest. His right hand rose to gently stroke her cheek bone.

Veronica covered the couple up with the blanket at the end of the bed. She sat moved so she could sit on the bed on the other side of Betty. Her hand gently moving on Betty's back. She looked over into Jughead's concern eyes. She sighed softly as she knew the road her two friends were just starting to embrake. But she knew that they would make it.
