It had been a few more weeks now since they discovered they were becoming parents and without slipping up once they'd managed to keep hold of the secret for a while. Though Archie often asked Betty when alone if she was okay? Why she was in her lazy clothes and why she was always so ill. But they hoped he hadn't thought of that reason.

"The doctor surgery called and made an appointment for this afternoon, time to see how long we got til our baby comes into this messy world" Jughead grabbed Betty's bag and slung it over his shoulder.

"I know but the thought of seeing a baby inside me freaks me out. Can't we just wait?" She threw herself back into the chair of her bedroom. Her stomach slowly growing but she was able to hide it with hoodies and baggy shirts.

"No you can't. Come on let's grab some lunch and then we will go." He pulled her up and they left her room ready for the cafe.

As they arrived they noticed the table they usual sit at was full. On it was Archie and Veronica.

"Guys over here!" They sat there and waved over to them both.

"Do we go over ?" Betty muttered under her breath.

"I assume so otherwise they'll ask more questions." Jughead began to walk towards the table and they sat down besides them.

"We were just going to order food. You guys hungry ?!" Veronica passed over a menu.

"Uh sure yeah. I'll probably just have a shake... Juggy?" Betty passed over the menu. The thought of greasy food made her feel sick. In fact she had begun the stage of foods and smells making her unwell.

"Just a shake?" Archie threw her the question. He knew his friend better than she thought.

"Yeah I'm not that hungry, I ate before I came." She pulled her ponytail tighter ignoring how Jughead was staring at her waiting for the answer. Veronica saw the way that Jughead looked at Betty's especially the last few weeks. So without thinking she just asked.

"You guys have been spending so much time together over this break and even before. Are you sure you don't wanna tell us something ?" She asked between them.

As Jughead and Betty looked at each other Jughead smiled. If they told them now it would lessen the blow about a baby. But were they ready? Betty nodded at Jug with a small grin they both had an idea it was best to at least say there were dating before a baby was being born.

"Well actually yeah... we've kinda been together for a few months now..." Betty held Jugheads hand and squeezed.

"MONTHS!!" Veronica screamed startling some of the customers.

"Sorry... months?" She repeated in shock. Archie stared at them holding hands he wasn't uncomfortable about it... but knowing how much affection Betty had for him it hurt to know she had moved on.

"Yeah we didn't want to say anything before incase it wasn't working out Yano?" Jughead pulled Betty in and hugged her shoulders.

"But it is working... really well" she smiled.

As the four of them talked about what their relationship was like their food arrived. Betty suddenly gagged and raised her hands to her mouth.

"Who has mushrooms?" She stood up sharply.

"Me? Why ?" Archie began to tuck into his full breakfast happily unaware that Betty's sence was so strong she couldn't stand most things. She ran to the bathroom and began to hurl her stomach up. Both Veronica and Archie looked at Jughead who was trying to cover for her.

"She's had a bad stomach all week. Must've caught the sickness bug..." he sunk back into his chair feeling them stare at him as if they knew it was a lie.

Before long Betty was back she could see them glaring at her as she came back... did they know ??

"Welcome back Betty... I have to ask something... have you been to the doctors? Because with all the sickness you've been having the last few weeks maybe you have some disease ?" Veronica took a bite from her chip.

"I'm going this afternoon. Fed up of being so ill" Betty laughed a little trying to hold back anymore sickness or scent of mushroom.

"Though with all this illness as you say before and now the smell of mushrooms making you sick? Sounds like pregnancy to me." Archie pushed his plate aside and stared at them both. They swallowed hard... panicking as Veronica processed that though.

"Don't be silly Archie! You're not right? Tell him Bet?"

The ground seemed to be swollowing them up and before they knew it both faces were red and both had no answer for the question. He must've been somehow joking or put it together... but how ? And now the prolonged silence needed to be filled with an answer...
