"You should ask Betty to prom." Veronica said one day at school.

"You know that Betty just got off of bed rest right?" Jughead answered back to her as he picked at his turkey sandwich that Alice had made him that morning. It was true, Betty had gone to Dr. Smit earlier that week and had been cleared to resume normal activity- excluding school. It hadn't really mattered, Betty had finished pretty early and was now just waiting on graduating.

"I know, but it will be fun. You and Betty. One last go around until Len comes crashing in and takes away all your fun." She answered and took a large bite of her salad.

She did have a valid point, they needed to have one last hurrah before their daughter come.

Jughead looked up at her and groaned.

"Fine. I will ask her to prom." He muttered and saw Cheryl plop down next to the group.

"Has baby bughead made her appearance yet?" She asked and Jughead looked at her.

"Cheryl if Lennon was here, do you honest to god think I would be in the place where dreams go to die?" He asked and raised an eyebrow at her.

Cheryl glared.

"Jeez Hobo I was just asking. Sorry I care!" She huffed before storming off and Jughead sighed rubbing his face.

"Cheryl wait, I'm sorry I just haven't been sleeping lately. I didn't mean to snap at you." He sighed.

It was true, the closer they got to the due date the more nervous he got. Every time that she would shift he would ask if she was having contractions- which lead to no sleep.

"Don't worry. It's whatever." She muttered and left.

Veronica rolled her eyes and looked at him.
"She's moody today. Whatever, ignore her just ask Betty to prom ok." She smiled and he nodded going back to eating.

Back at home Betty was sitting in the kitchen when he arrived home. Her large stomach was hanging out of a pink tank top as she chewed on a strawberry.

"Your boobs got so big…" Jughead muttered and Betty rolled her eyes.

"I love that that is the first thing that came to your mind. Thanks honey." She grumbled and chewed on another strawberry. Jughead laughed and reached for one of her strawberries and took a bite of it.

"So Betty."

"So Jughead." She laughed and leaned back in the chair.

"Prom is coming up.."

She looked up at him and nodded slowly.

"It's night. " She said gently and he shook his head.

"Tomorrow night."

"And.."

"Will you go with me?"

"Of course."

He stared at her.

"Really?" He asked surprised.

"Yea. I miss everyone you know. I miss school too. One last night to go out as a normal teenager before Lennon comes and I basically become my mother." She shrugged and slowly got up. "Pick me up at seven?"

"Betty. I practically live here." He laughed and kissed her soundly.

That next night, Jughead stood in the hallway of the Coopers in a suit and tie that his father had given him. His dad had told him over and over again that he was so lucky that he wouldn't have to worry about getting Betty pregnant that night because in his experience that is what happened. Jughead then told him to not even elaborate on that thought. It felt weird, to be dressed in the dusty black tux and to have his hair slicked back into his beanie. He stared up at the stairs and waited for Betty, his hands nervously fidgeting.

Betty meanwhile was hunched over her dresser as Polly zipped up the lavender dress. She could feel the slow pings of pain in her lower back but chose to ignore it because she would be damned if she could not have her last night of being a normal teenager.

"Betty, you're positive that you can go right.." Polly asked gently as she adjusted the dress and Betty nodded letting out a breath.

"Polly they are so far apart that it's probably a false alarm ok." She said gently and looked at her reflection. Pregnant at her senior prom, great.

Polly nodded slowly and took her downstairs and Jughead stared at her in awe. She looked amazing. Her curls were framing her face and her bump was just perfectly framed by the lavender dress.

"You look…wow.." He whispered and Betty smiled.

"I know. You look great. You look like James Bond." She smiled and let out a breathy laugh.

Jughead blushed and looked down at her.

"Ready to go Juliet?" He asked and with that she simply nodded.

Little did they know a lot more would be happening that night then they expected..
