We're back with the newest chapter of my series and also the moment when we find out the news...
He turned the two tests over and stared at them for a while. Betty paced back and forth unable to check them herself.
"Well? What is it? Am I pregnant or not?" She looked him dead in the eyes waiting for what could happen. Part of her was desperate for a negative result for the sake of her family, relationships... everything. But the other part of her longed for positive. A baby... a beautiful baby between her an Jugehead.
He looked at her and swallowed holing the tests he turned it around and opened his mouth.
"Its...positive" He pulled Betty into his arms whilst she stood there in silence trying to process it all... They were safe but clearly not enough she was now another figure to add to the teenage pregnancy chart or so her school would tell her.. even her mom might. Breathing heavily she pulled away.
"So positive then... What next then Juggy?" She composed herself and sat on her bed next to him wiping her small tears away. He moved closer to her held her for a moment whilst he himself was in deep thought.. what next? He opened his mouth.
"Betty Cooper I love you, all of you. And whatever decision you make to keep or not keep this baby I will support you and continue to love you forever...regardless." He held her pale face between his warm hands which felt more comforting that ever. She nodded her head and stood up. She walked towards the mirror and rolled up her shirt.
"No wonder those stupid shorts didn't fit me... And I thought it was a food baby all this time. Ha if only I knew right" She giggled and rubbed her small hands over her stomach. Jughead held her from behind and placed his hands over hers.
"I couldn't get rid of it Jug.. it would be so cruel I couldn't live with myself if I did that. Always not knowing what could of been. And I understand if thats too much for you. A baby.. I won't hate you if you decide to leave."
"And what makes you think I would do that? Leave because something seems tough ? No... I will stand by you through thick and thin, I will support and love you and this baby. I am no a man by any means but I will step up to be the dad I never had for this little one I promise." He rested his head onto her shoulder and rubbed her hand before spinning her around and kissing her. She giggled for a moment and he smiled.
"What?" She asked him curiously.
"Since the last few weeks have been though and today especially its wonderful to see your smile once more. Let's keep it this time." She ran his hands down her cheek. As she held her hands on top of his she smiled more knowing she was safe.
"So who do we tell first?" She asked him softy unsure if they even should.
"Well maybe leave it a while until were safe too anyway. Besides if we don't sat anything they will begin to suspect" He chuckled as he put his hands on her belly. She slapped them away playfully.
"Oh cheeky! But you're right. Lets enjoy it between us before we share the news." She smiled at him and rested her head on his shoulders gently before admiring the photo of them in the mirror, what a perfect moment to capture.
So a Bughead baby! See you next chapter:)
