Chapter 2
Jughead woke early the next morning with sunlight shining in his eyes. He looked down at Betty curled up on his chest. The sunlight shone on her silky blonde hair like a halo. At that moment he felt his heart contract with the amount of love he felt for his Queen. Jughead knew he still had some remaining abandonment issues, because let's face it a kid who's mom and sister walk out on him at the age of 12 leaving him to play parent to an alcoholic father is going to have some issues, but over the last year and continuing every day they were together Betty was chipping away to make them disappear. After all, they had been through since Jason Blossom's murder he knew as long as they kept communicating with each other they would survive anything. Betty Cooper grounded him, calmed him, stopped him from going off the deep end and making irrational decisions that he would regret later. The perfect Serpent Queen.
He gently slipped from under her and put on his t-shirt from the floor where he had dropped it the night before. OH GOD! Last Night. How could he have forgotten? He was certain that when he heard that vase smashing it was the Ghoulies breaking in to harm the Cooper girls to get at either his Dad or himself or maybe both. Instead, he and Betty had found his Dad and her Mom going at it on the dining room table. He had to make sure that table was cleaned to an inch of its life before eating at it again.
He quietly went downstairs to the kitchen to make Betty some toast and fruit for breakfast as he had done ever since he had unofficially moved in. What Betty didn't know was that Alice had found him a few times preparing their breakfast and had helped him get it ready. It was an odd relationship he had with Alice Cooper. She acted as a mother to him but they had an unspoken agreement to not talk about where he was spending his nights even though he was almost certain that she knew it was across the hall from her own bedroom.
This morning, however, it wasn't the elder Cooper woman he found in the kitchen. It was his own father, biting an apple while making scrambled eggs on the stove, with a huge grin on his face.
"Morning Jug."
"Morning Dad. Do you want some toast with those eggs?"
"Sure if you're making some."
His Dad looked at him, his smile getting broader. He was so proud of the man his son was becoming. He had put his boy through some unforgivable shit but they had got through it all and now were more best friends than father and son.
"Son I've got to say you've got some game, boy." Jughead groaned. He really didn't want to have this conversation with his Dad. His Dad had known for a while that he and Betty were sexually active and apparently so were FP and Alice. They really didn't need to discuss details.
"From what we saw and heard last night so do you Dad."
Both the Jones men paused plating up food for their girls.
"Jugs, I truly am sorry you and Betty had to find out about Ali and me like that. I know neither of us wants to talk about our sex lives and I've just complicated things but we do need to sit down the four of us to discuss some important stuff. Okay?"
"Okay, Dad. Can we get the ladies of the house fed first and get together in say an hour?"
FP embraced his son in a hug.
"Sure kid. I love you."
"I love you too, Dad."
The Serpent men carried a tray of breakfast upstairs to their girls, both stopping and smiling at each other before entering their respective bedrooms.
Betty stretched and yawned as The Serpent King entered the room.
"Hey there. Is that scrambled eggs? I didn't know you knew how to make scrambled eggs."
"I didn't. My Dad did. Apparently, it's a favourite of your Mom's so he made extra for the both of us."
"EWW. I don't even want to think about how he knows that after last night."
Jughead chuckled and climbed into bed next to Betty beginning to eat.
"Dad wants the four of us to meet after breakfast to discuss some things." He had to grin at Betty's face right at that moment. She had gone green and looked like she was going to vomit.
"Calm down Juliet. He doesn't want to discuss either of our sex lives. I know he saw you practically naked when you did the Serpent Dance but there are some things he really doesn't WANT to know about us."
"Hey! I only did the Serpent Dance cause you were trying to push me away. At least FP let me borrow his jacket to cover up, you didn't."
"I was in shock! I never thought my Northside girlfriend would strip in front of a bar of bikers. Plus after that display, it was kind of hard for me to walk. Anyway, Dad says we've got some important things to discuss."
Betty nodded her head in agreement.
"Man, FP makes mean scrambled eggs. He has moves and can cook. What more could a girl want."
"HEY!"
Next time the family meeting. Is it just me or does anyone else think if they ever did bring the real Charles Smith into the show he should be played by Dylan Sprouse? The nuns did say you could see the family resemblance, was she talking about Jughead instead of Betty?
