Two months had past and still nothing about Betty. The serpents and pretty poisons had found nothing.
Jughead had been losing hope each day but Veronica and Archie refused to let him give up. They decorated the spare room as a nursery for when Betty comes home.
The walls were beautifully painted yellow with a white fluffy carpet. A cot in the corner of the room, with a rocking chair. Shelf's were put up with baby books and toys.
FP had also bought Jughead a double bed for Betty's bedroom for when she came back much to Gladys's annoyance. "You're encouraging his fantasy's" she snapped.
But FP brushed it off because if anyone could find Betty it would be Jughead.
There was a bang on the door. Jughead answered, hoping by some miracle it was Betty but instead he was staring at Cheryl.
"Cheryl?"
She past him a note and smiled, feeling chuffed with herself.
"What's this?"
"An answer to your prayers my young friend" she said as she watched I'm open the note.
"Sisters of silent Grace?"
"I swiped it from Mrs Coopers handbag. I saw her shopping, I may of knocked over her handbag on purpose. 'Helped' her pick it up and found what I was looking for"
Jughead stared at her shocked. "Cheryl. You are a genius"
"I try my best" she beamed "it's five miles out of Riverdale and I'm in the mood for a little Chaos"
"We need the serpents" Jughead said.
"Already done" Cheryl said as Jughead walked outside to see the serpents by there own vehicles plus Toni to.
"Shall we do this?" Sweet Pea asked with a sly grin. Jughead nodded going inside to grab his serpent jacket and put on his shoes before getting on his bike.
The serpents took off in search for there queen. Soon Betty would be back in Jugheads arms once more at least that's what he hoped.
The only problem was that none of them were sure how they would get into the place to save Betty. They would just have to make it up as they went along.
"Maybe we should of checked the place out first" Toni said as they all eyed up the big building. Jughead bit his bottom lip as he studied the building.
"We could climb the fence" sweet pea suggested as Cheryl snorted. "The nuns will see you"
Just then a van pulled up. There were clearly dropping something off. The men got out of the van and walked over to the buzzer.
Jughead smiled mischievously "I've got an idea" he went over to the back of the van as the two men joked with a women on the voice machine.
He proceeded to try and break the lock with a little bit of Cheryl's help the lock broke and Jughead climbed into the back of the van. Cheryl climbed in with him.
The men got into the van and the gate opened. Driving into the parking lot of the sisters.
Toni turned to the serpents. "We'll stay here and keep a look out, just get ready to drive away when they get her"
The serpents nodded as they prepared to escape from the scene of the crime.
Jughead and Cheryl dives out of the back of the van and snuck in through the big wooden doors, trying desperately not to get caught.
"Okay. I guess we split up" Jughead said. Cheryl nodded getting chills from when she was taken to the sisters of quiet mercy.
Cheryl went looking down a corridor and Jughead went the other way. Looking through the glass on each door to find Betty.
Hiding behind walls every time a nun walked past. Jughead got to the end door and he finally saw what he had been looking for.
There she was, sitting on her bed playing with her hair. Her shoulder length hair, the sisters must of chopped her long hair off. She now had a bump but she never looked more beautiful.
Jughead proceeded to break the lock. Once he heard a click, he walked in. "Betts?" He expected a hug or something instead Betty just said "hello"
"Betts it's me. Come on we have to go!" He walked closer to her and stopped.
"You said that last time and I got caught" Betty said as she glanced towards the boarded up and barred up window.
"Said What last time?"
Betty frowned looking over to him and then noticing her imaginary Jughead stood beside him. He gave a little wave and began to disappear.
"Jug?" Betty got up. "Is that you" Betty's hand resting on her baby bump.
"Yeah" he smiled as Betty took off, running at him. Her arms wrapping around his neck as she cried on his shoulder. "I thought you weren't coming" she sobbed
"I haven't stopped looking for you" He promised as they pulled apart. Betty's hand resting on Jugheads face as she pulled him in. Drinking him in as there lips moved together.
Jughead had missed this, he missed her. He slowly pulled away but Betty needed more trying to pull him into her once again. "We need to go"
Betty bit her swollen bottom lip and nodded. He was right, she needed out of this hell hole.
Jughead took her hand and they slowly walked down the corridor trying not to alert any nuns to what was going on.
Betty saw Cheryl walking towards them. All three staying quiet as they found the door to which Jughead and Cheryl came in from.
The delivery van was still parked outside. Jughead hesitated as they looked over at the gate that was now shut. He walked to the back of the van and climbed in once more. Cheryl and Betty followed to. Hiding at the very back.
The men were just finished there delivery and got into the van, the van started to drive away as Betty held onto Jughead.
The gate opened to let them out and once the gate opened. Jughead opened the back of the van doors, grabbing Betty's hand and diving out. Cheryl jumped out to.
The serpents sighed with relief. "Woah Betty got fat" sweet pea said. Fangs looked at him. "She's pregnant, you moron"
"Back to Riverdale" Toni said as she got on her bike with Cheryl.
Jughead nodded as Betty took everyone in unable to get over that she was finally free. Jughead got onto his bike and Betty climbed on behind him. They took off down the street where Betty was finally going home.
Betty clung to Jugheads back. Smelling him, touching him. She couldn't believe she was able to do this again. If this was a dream she didn't want to wake up from it.
Jughead stopped his bike outside her home confusing Betty. The last thing she wanted to do was see her mother. "Jug! Can't we go back to yours?"
Jughead sighed getting off his bike. "This is mine now"
Betty looked confused as she stared at her home.
"Your mum sold it and my mum bought it" Jughead took her hand. "I took your room and I haven't decorated it I promise"
Betty gripped his hand, feeling shaky on her legs as they walked up to the front door.
Jughead opened it and Betty walked in. She looked around, noticing that the Jones's had really made there mark on her childhood home.
Jughead gently took her upstairs where he began to run a bath for her as Betty looked around her room.
The only difference that was made in her room was that Jugheads stuff had been added and she now had a double bed instead of a single.
"I knew I would find you" Jughead said "so I got a new bed for us"
Betty looked at him and smiled. "You never gave up?"
He shook his head. "Not once"
Betty ran her fingers over her desk and then her dressing table.
Once the bath was all ready for her. Betty went inside the bathroom with Jughead.
Jughead helped her undress, gently pulling off her cardigan and unbuttoning her dress.
She was soon stood in nothing but white underwear and Jughead was horrified as he stared at the bruises and the scar on her healed thigh where her serpent tattoo once was.
"They cut it off" Betty said as she noticed his stare. "Said it's a sin"
Jughead took in her pregnant belly bump. She was at least six months at this point before unclasping her bra.
Betty slowly pulled down her knickers and climbed into the bath. Jughead gently washed her and helped her get clean. Washing her hair and gently kissing her neck.
"We will get you a new one" Jughead said noticing how Betty rubbed her thigh where her tattoo once was.
"And a new serpent jacket" he said knowing that hers was taken by the nuns. She nodded leaning into him. He ran his fingers through her shortened hair.
"They cut my hair" Betty said. "As a punishment"
"It will grow back" he smiled softly. Betty sighed leaning into his touch.
Once she was clean, she got out the bath and he wrapped her in a towel. She walked into her bedroom where Jughead pulled out some pyjamas for her. "I kept all your clothes" he told her. Betty smiled softly as she pulled on her pyjamas.
Jughead ran a brush through her hair, Betty let him, enjoying his touch. He finished brushing her hair and laid down on her and jugheads new bed.
Jughead got behind her and laid down. Wrapping his arms around her waist. Betty snuggled into him. "Stay like this with me. Just until I fall asleep"
Jughead kissed her cheek. "Okay" he held her close to him and it wasn't long before they both fell asleep in each other's arms where they belonged.
The next morning Jughead snuck downstairs to make Betty breakfast. He had a big smile on his face as he got to cooking her a big fry up.
"You seem a lot chirpier this morning" Gladys said looking at him confused. "And your cooking?"
Jughead realised that because he hadn't seen his parents last night before he went to bed they had no idea about Betty. "Yeah about that-"
The floorboards creaked as Betty made herself known still clad in her pyjamas. "Hi" she said awkwardly.
Gladys's eyes turned dark. She already didn't like this girl. FP smiled as he eyed Betty's pregnant stomach. "Wow, it's good to see you again"
"Thank you! A lot has changed" Betty said as she took a seat at the breakfast table.
"Your mums staying with the farm last we heard" FP told her. Jellybean eyed Betty up and down making her uncomfortable.
"Betty's going to be staying with us" Jughead said as he placed a plate of food in front of her.
Gladys opened her mouth to object but FP cut her off. "That's fine. You can show her the nursery"
"Nursery?" Betty frowned looking towards Jughead who grinned. "I made a nursery for the baby. Eat and I will show you"
Gladys watched Betty with disgust. She didn't like her, just something about this little girl having such a hold over her son she didn't like. Her eyes narrowed as she wondered how she would get rid of this little hussy and get her out of her sons life.
A/N so Betty's finally free but Gladys is on the warpath. Review for more chapters!
