Chapter 1 Homecoming

It had been almost five years since Betty Cooper had set foot into Riverdale, the only people she had kept in contact with was her sister Polly and her mother Alice. After she left Riverdale she changed her number, she didn't need people contacting her and asking her "Why she wasn't there?" "Where did you go?" or "is this because of Jughead?". Although it did have a little bit to do with Jughead. He had left her, she went to see him at the bar because she hadn't heard from him in a couple weeks so she went to see where they still stood. To her the memories are still as fresh as the day it happened.

*FLASHBACK*

The last time she seen Jughead was when they were interrupted by the Southside Serpents to give him the leather jacket. Once she had called his name he looked at her like a deer caught in headlights, almost like he had forgotten she had even been there in the first place. She knew how much it meant to him to have somewhere he belonged, these were his father's people so therefor they were his by association and with F.P locked up he would need someone to be there for him. So, she didn't bring up the fact that it had bugged her to see him wear it after saying that they weren't their parents.

Once they seen her they had apologized for the interruption and left. Jug had come back inside and hung up the Serpent jacket in the closet. He had turned to her to speak, no doubt to explain his actions. But Betty interrupted him saying "I understand Juggie. They're your people." He smiled at her in response, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. They spent the night making up for their interruption, but they both knew once school started back up nothing would be the same anymore.

She had tried texting him, but never got any responses. She tried calling, but always got voicemail. Until one day she tried calling and got "I'm sorry the caller you are trying to reach, is no longer available." With that she made up her mind she was going to go see him, consequences be damned. Betty pulled up to the Whyte Worm and got out of the car. She walked in and started asking for Jughead but no one seemed to know where he was, or he told them he didn't want to be bothered.

One man came up to her that reeked of alcohol and grabbed her wrist "Sorry princess he ain't accepting visitors, but you can come home with me if you want company" "Get your hands off of me, I only came to see Jughead if he isn't here then I'm leaving." "Oh, come on ill make it worth your while" He reached to grope her and Betty punched him in the nose and heard a satisfying crack. Smiling to herself she looked around the room and told them if they see him to tell him 'Betty stopped by and that they need to talk its important.' But she never heard from him after that.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

Looking in her backseat she smiled at her son sleeping. "Forsythe, hunny wake up." "Yes, mommy?" "You want to stop for some milkshakes before we go to see Grandma and Aunt Polly. I know this really great milkshake stop called Pop's" Forsythe grinned up at her and said "Yes, please." As Betty pulled into the parking lot she couldn't help but feel like she had stepped back into time, everything about the diner was still the same. As they walked into the diner Betty's blood ran cold there sitting at one of the tables was F.P Jones, Jughead's dad her sons Grandpa.

"Betty?" "Uhm hi Mr. Jones." Forsythe looked at her and this man in front of them and smiled. "GRANDPA!" Betty had never tried to hide any information about Forsythe's father or his side of the family. She showed him photos of all of them and had even took Forsythe to meet Jughead's mother and sister before coming back to Riverdale. F.P looked at the young boy in shock, he looked like a carbon copy of his son. "You want to sit down Betty?" She just smiled and brought Forsythe over to him. "This is Forsythe, Forsythe James Jones."

"You gave him our last name?" "Of course, I did I haven't tried hiding anything from him about who his family is. Nor would I deny him of his name. I took him to see his Grandma and Aunt in Toronto before we came here. It would have been sooner but a lot of things happened and it had to wait." "Why doesn't Jughead know?" She sighed "I tried telling him when I found out, but I never got a response and then be blocked my number from calling or got a new number. I tried showing up to the bar and he wasn't there. I never heard from him, my mother and sister tried getting him to come up to the hospital when I was in labor but all he said was 'she isn't my concern anymore' so maybe you should ask him."

Getting up from the table with her son she looked to F.P and said "We have to be leaving now but I hope we'll be seeing you soon. I'm sorry. I hope we can make up for lost time. I'm just not in any hurry to see Jug." "Well it's a little too late for that." As he pointed to the door where Jughead just walked in at. "I had invited Jug here to have dinner when you pulled in Betty." Jughead looked at Betty then at his dad and then to the child standing next to her and sneered. "Got knocked up and he left ya did he? That why you back in Riverdale after so long Elizabeth?" "JUGHEAD!" F.P yelled at him. Betty just smiled and said "I don't know Jug, did you know I was pregnant when you left me?" She scooped her son up and walked out of the diner to her car, leaving behind a shell shocked Jughead Jones.
