Chapter Ten
Mr. and Mrs. Jones
The Blue and Gold. New York City. Monday December 22nd, 2025. 1:20 PM
It was a very busy news day at The Blue and Gold. Jughead was sitting in his office, drinking his cup of coffee with cream and sugar like always while typing up his article for the paper. While he was busy working on the article, his lovely wife Betty entered his office and stood by the door, watching her husband work as she smiles at him.
"Hey there, handsome." Betty said as Jughead stops typing up his article and looked up at Betty.
"Hey, Bets." Jughead said. "Came to see me work?"
"Yeah. I've been pretty busy doing some Christmas shopping and buying a few things for Christmas dinner since my parents, Polly and Chic are coming over along with your mother and Jellybean. I see that you've been pretty busy yourself." Betty said, walking over towards her husband's desk.
"Yeah. It's been pretty busy here." Jughead said, going back to typing up his article.
"So, what's the big news that's been stirring up in the office?" Betty asked as she sat down on Jughead's desk.
"A senior member of the Faustin Mafiya. A man named Vladimir Glebov." Jughead said.
"Vladimir Glebov? Jesus, I've heard of him. What happened?" Betty asked.
"Somebody shot him last night while he was trying to do a drug deal with him. While you were out doing Christmas shopping, I spoke to Lt. Keller on the phone and he's investigating who murdered Glebov." Jughead said.
"God. Do they know who shot him?" Betty asked.
"No, they don't. They're looking into it. I've read up on Glebov and the Faustin Mafiya. They're associated with the Blossom Crime Family and…" Jughead said, looking down at his desk before saying another word.
"And who?" Betty asked.
"The Southside Serpents." Jughead said.
"Juggie, I'm sorry. I…" Betty apologized.
"It's okay. It's not your fault." Jughead said, looking at the photo of his father.
Betty began to look at the photo of FP as well. "I know how much you miss him. He wanted you to stay away from this life he was in."
"I just wish that he was still here." Jughead said.
"I know, sweetie." Betty said as she stood behind Jughead and wraps her arms around him. "I know that he's looking down at you and I know that he's really proud of you. And I am proud of you too."
"Thanks." Jughead smiled a bit. "I know that Archie is undercover infiltrating Hiram Lodge's organization, let's hope that he's alright."
"I hope so too. Because he has to come over for Christmas dinner." Betty said.
"Speaking of Christmas, did you get me anything for Christmas?" Jughead asked.
"I did, but I'm not going to tell you. You'll have to wait till Christmas Day." Betty smirked at her husband.
"Let me take a good guess, does it involve you wearing Seduce Scarlet lipstick and something sensual at night?" Jughead asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Mmm, you would love that, won't you?" Betty asked.
"Hey, I would love to see my wife ditch her good girl image and be naughty. Maybe you're feeling a bit naughty yourself." Jughead said, making Betty blush a bit as her cheeks turned red.
Betty smiled at Jughead as she leaned in to kiss Jughead. Jughead moved his hand up to cup the blonde's cheek gently, leaning in to kiss her back while she straddled his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. As their make-out session continued, someone entered the office and stood right by the door, clearing their throat and knocked on the door as Betty and Jughead stop, only to see a woman with long blonde hair, tan skin and grey eyes. The woman was also middle-aged as well and she was wearing a brown coat, a light blue blouse, a brown pencil skirt and tan-colored heels.
"You two do know that this is a place of business, not one of your sex joints?" The woman asked.
"Oh, my god. Mom." Betty said. The woman was revealed to be Alice Cooper, Betty's mother.
"Hi, Alice. I didn't know that you were coming over." Jughead said.
"Jughead, you do realize that me and her father are in town with Polly and Chic?" Alice asked, crossing her arms at Jughead. "I guess you were too busy groping my daughter.
"Mom, be nice to your son-in-law." Betty said as she walked over to her mother and hugged her. "It's so good to see you."
"It's good to see you too, Elizabeth. How are you and how's things with work aside from your husband wanting to have sex with you in his office." Alice said.
"Mom!" Betty said, being embarrassed by her mother. "Jughead and I got carried away, that's all."
"Right." Alice said. "I saw something on the news about a Russian getting killed last night."
"Yeah. Jughead's writing an article about it." Betty said.
"And from what I've heard is that the guy associates with Clifford Blossom and the Serpents. The gang that had FP killed in jail." Alice said as Jughead stops typing his article and closed his laptop, glaring at her while her daughter sighed in disgust.
"Mom, seriously?" Betty rolled her eyes.
"Thanks for mentioning that, Alice." Jughead said as he walked out of his office to be alone.
"Really, mom? Why did you have to mention FP getting killed in jail because of the Serpents?" Betty asked.
"You know that it's true." Alice said.
"What kind of mother-in-law are you?" Betty asked as she leaves the office to go look for Jughead while Alice sighed as she leaves the office to go follow Betty through the busy crowd of workers. Alice finally made her way through and found Betty and Jughead sitting in the break room, talking to each other just as the two of them looked up to see Alice walking towards them.
"Jughead." Alice said.
"Alice. Got anything else to say about my father? I know that he's done some bad things in his life but you had no right bringing up his death." Jughead said coldly.
"I know that. And I'm very sorry that I brought it up. Your father was a great man and I know that he's not perfect but he did love you, your mother and Jellybean. He wanted you to have a great life and not follow his footsteps." Alice said.
"I know. And thank you and I accept your apology." Jughead said as Betty looked up at her mother and smiled at her for a bit.
And that was chapter ten of The Blood of Family. I hope that you enjoyed the Bughead chapter. We'll dive in more about FP's death and Jughead's grudge against the Serpents in a later chapter. Next time, Veronica asks Archie out to Cheryl Blossom's Christmas party. Then, she gets a little visitor in her apartment. Who could it be? Don't forget to review this story, add this to your favorites and follow it for future updates. Before I go, I did mention some news that I wanted to bring up. I will be working on a new Bughead story called Dangerous Desires. It's about Betty, who's a vice cop, working undercover as a stripper to arrest a drug dealer. Then, she falls for Jughead Jones, who's the son of the drug dealer. This story will also have some steamy Bughead love scenes, including one that was inspired by the Betty striptease scene from the Riverdale season two episode House of the Devil. What do you think of the idea and do you think I should work on this story along with The Blood of Family? You'll have both Bughead and a Varchie story to read. Second, I have some serious news to share that really upset me. So, you've all heard about the whole Logan Paul thing where he released a video on December 31st, 2017 called "We Found a Dead Body in the Japanese Suicide Forest" where it featured Logan Paul and his friends as they encountered the body of a man who had taken his own life. What that fucking idiot did was disgraceful and I know that some of you are fans of Logan Paul but I just want to punch that prick because in between Logan's comments about the seriousness of suicide, the camera zooms in on various parts of the body, while Logan occasionally cracks jokes or laughs. This is a serious issue and it really pissed me off. If someone you know have suicidal thoughts, try to ask someone for help. Talk to a family member or a friend about how you're feeling or call a helpline and support group, someone will reach out to you and let them know how you're feeling. I'm sorry if I'm ranting but that was really fucking disrespectful for what Logan Paul did and that was a jackass thing that he did. This type of thing needs to stop. That is all I have to say, I'll see you guys next time for chapter eleven. Till next time, my fellow readers.
