After a long night of battling making deals with the ghoulies to not start an all out turf war. Jug and I didnt sleep much. We talked about what we were going to do. I told him that he needed to be careful. He couldnt try to stop them on his own. No matter what Penny had said to him. But I knew he was scared. He had every right to be. I was scared as well. She told him that if he didnt stand down from serpent king that she was going to carve my heart out. We tried to come up with every way we could get our people to safety. We were out numbered 10 to 1. If it turned into a battle for land we would be wiped out.

Later that day was a secret appointment that I had hid from Jug. I didnt want to freak him out if everything I thought was wrong. Simple blood work was all I needed. In and out within 30 minutes. They told me they would call me later with the results. I was terrified. I knew this would change everything. Jughead would for sure march alone into battle to keep me safe. He knew I had no one. Everyone in my family died in a house fire. I had snuck out to spend the night with Jug while the ghoulies tried to break jug apart. Thinking I was inside they lit the house up in flames. There was no saving them. FP took me into his home so I wouldnt go into the system. Everyone looked out for me in my time of need.

This was two years ago. I had finally moved on even though there was still a slight ping in my heart whenever it was brought up. I cant lose him. He is my everything. I now need to tell him that I went and that I would like him to be there when they call me back with the results. Pulling out my phone I quickly type in his name for a new message.

"Hey, where are you. Could you meet me out by the back of the whyte wyme at 4:30p.m.?"

Ding

"I am doing business with my dad. I will probably be able to make it. I will update you when I know. Is everything ok?"

Is everything ok? I mean no there is so much going on that I cant process one thing before ten more things are stacked on.

"Yes, everything is fine. We just have some stuff to talk about. Nothing bad."

"Ok I will try and be there"

The hours pass slowly. Betty is pacing the trailer. Than she cant handle walking from one end to the next over and over again. So she decides to go find the only friend she really has besides her boyfriend. Making her way to the whyte wyrme she is in her own world. So much that she doesn't see the one person she was looking for run up right next to her. Tapping her on the shoulder it pulls her from her thoughts.

"Hey Betts! What you up to?" Sweet Pea gives her a smile.

"I was actually looking for you. Can we go somewhere and talk? This is important!"

"Uh, ya..sure. Is everything ok?"

"I'm not sure yet. That's why I need your best advice.."

They get to his trailer. He lives alone since he ran away from home. FP never let's his people go without. So he hooked him up with his own place to stay as long as he made rent on time.

"I...I don't know how to tell jug something." Betty is very nervous to even be telling sweet pea.

"Whatever it is you seem pretty nervous. Dont worry I'm not gonna tell no one. I mean you and him are the only ones I really talk to on a personal level." He is trying to ease her mind to know her secret is safe with him.

"Sweet pea.." tears fill her eyes as she realizes the magnatude of the situation. "I..um..I'm pretty sure that I'm pregnant. I don't know what to do. This will send jug over the edge." She is speaking really frantic by the last of what she has to say. If she doesnt get it out as fast as she can she wont say anything.

Sweet pea just looks at her in total disbelief. Serpent king and queen now are probably gonna have a prince or princess. This is really huge. What are they going to do. They are in the front of all the attacks. Especially Betty. She is right. This will send him over the edge. He will do anything even if it means him dying to make sure she stays safe. Like any king would do for his queen.

"Wow, this is huge. Well if it's true congratulations Betty. I'm really happy for you guys! But you are right. He is going to flip out. I dont think you should tell him until things with Penny settle out. You don't want him to do anything that could put you guys in more danger."

"You're right. But I already asked him to meet me at the back of the whyte wyrme when at the time they told me they would call me. What should I do?"

"Maybe just start talking to him about other things. Like the plans he has to beat Penny and her little gremlins."

He is right. Maybe just change the subject to talk about. She never told him the real reason she wanted him there. She had some slack to lean on with this.

"Ok..thank you. I knew you could help me." She gives him a quick hug of appreciation. Than they decide to head to the whyte wyme to wait. Sweet pea told her that he would wait inside for them so that she had a little support. But from a distance.

Time seems to pass by quickly while they are there hanging out. When she looked at her phone she noticed a missed call. It was from the doctors office. She didnt want to know the answer until she had Jughead with her. He deserved to find out when she did. But as time moved on there was no sign of him anywhere. So she decided to text him again.

"Hey...are you almost here? It's been two hours since you were supposed to be here."

No reply back. So she waited until it was dark outside. Sweet pea still by her side to make sure she was ok. Slowly reaching later and later hours. It was now 10:30 p.m. her phone buzzed with a call coming through. It was Jughead.

"Jug?"

"Betty! I'm happy to hear your voice"

she signs in relief. "Me to jug, you have no idea"

"I just want you to know that I love you and that I will never stop loving you."

"What are you saying Jug? Where are you?"

"I'll see you soon"

"Click" the line is hung up.

She knew this wasnt good. He sounded like he was saying his last goodbyes. She found the one persons number she knew could help at this point. FP Jones. Clicking call she hears three dial tone rings.

"Hey Betty what's up?"

"Where are you. Jughead just called me. All he said was that he loved me and would never stop loving me. And that he would see me soon. It sounded like he was saying goodbye"

"Stay at the wyrme I will find him."

Jughead had decided he was going to give himself up to Penny. If it would stop everything that was happening he had to do it. It was the only protection he could give Betty anymore. He knew everyone would take care of her. He trusted that she would be ok without him. And with that in mind it made his mind up. He was going to give himself to Penny.

Betty didnt stay at the wyrme. She traced his phone to the deep wood. She called every serpent that she could rangle up for a rescue mission. She got there shortly after FP did. He was following the blood tracks deeper into the woods from where the fight originated. When Betty got there FP walked out of the forest. Tears in his eyes, holding his sons lifeless body in his arms. There was so much blood that he was barely recognizable. She knew the worst had happened. Her whole life was now ripped right out of her hands. Jughead Jones the III was dead.

Sweet pea who was next to her had to hold her back from running up to him. He knew that she wouldnt be able to handle it. He pulled her away and back onto the bike they rode in on. He needed to get her out of there, and fast! She was screaming for him to let her go. Punching and kicking him in failed attempts to break free. But he was definitely stronger than her. When they finally got to the bikes she knew she had to leave. She needed to figure out her next plan. Revenge, how to kick Penny where it hurt. Or wipe their grungy faces of the face of this earth.

Sweet pea took her back to his house. She was dead silent staring at the front door for hours. Until her eyes couldnt stay open anymore. Drifting off into sleep she had the best dream ever. Her and jughead with a little baby happy as can be at a park playing. Smiling at each other. But suddenly she was ripped from her dreams. By a phone call. The doctor yet again. She didnt want to answer the phone. She didn't want to know anymore. She wanted to disappear until jug came back somehow. Someway.
