The bus arrived and they both got on and sat down at the back, they had a few stops before the doctors office and so Jughead passed Betty her bag to check through.
"Got everything we need?" He smiled at her.
"Well I got me, you and a baby? That counts right?" She laughed. And that was when she noticed her laugh was genuine, humour was something that came rare to her recently. With all the sickness, weight gain, stress and then Archie at the cafe it seemed all very doom and gloom for a while. Positive in a way yes, but hard going by all means. So to hear her own laugh it made her warm inside knowing she was becoming herself again. The pair passed conversation back and forth before getting off at their stop and approaching the doctors office main door. Betty stopped dead in her tracks.

"What is it?" Jughead placed his hands on her arm gently sightly worried about her.
"What if they judge me, my age, my choice, my pregnancy? What if they ruin me like hey did to Polly?" She panicked and started to breathe heavy.
"Betty they can't and I won't let them. Besides Polly was down to your dad and he isn't here to stop you. We aren't the first teenage parents going into the unit and we wont be the last. Come on lets see our baby yeah?" He nudged her forward, he understood the fear he had it too. But they were professionals and any issues would cause the office more tension in the media and grief than it would to them just having the baby. Betty nodded took a deep breathe and walked towards the desk where a black haired lady sat, she looked over her glasses. "Name" She spoke shortly in a way you could tell she hated her job and was about to fall asleep at the desk.

"Betty.. Betty Cooper." She clenched her bag over her stomach avoiding eye contact with all the other patients sat there. The receptionist pointed towards the seating area for them to, before long her name was called and they both walked slowly towards the door of their doctor. Her name was Doctor Hughes and as they walked in a breeze hit them with a scent of was calming. There she sat her blonde hair pinned back and her uniform clean and pressed.
"Hi there, take a seat. You must be Betty Cooper am I correct? And you are?" She let them get comfortable.
"Yes i'm Betty and this is my partner Jughead we all call him, its a lot easier than his real name." They laughed and the doctor stood up and passed them a bud of lavender.

"It helps with nerves, I can see you're shaking don't worry I'm here to help you not scare you. How can I help you?" She sat on the edge of her desk and smiled with her red lips glowing from the gloss.
"Well um, thank you by the way and its not so much help as it is support. No it is help yes. I don't know how to put it and I don't want you to judge me, hate me. I'm not sure if you will or even what you think so um what it is .. is" Jughead held her hand he nodded and smiled. He could feel this Doctor wasn't going to judge her or hate her. She must already know but hearing Betty say it would improve the reality of it for them all.
"I'm pregnant, and we decided to keep it, so we just need information, scans, support. Whatever people do in this situation?" Betty looked down but the silence made her look towards the doctor. She was smiling which Betty found odd. She tightened her grip on Jugheads hands worried the Doctor would laugh thinking it was a joke or ask her to reconsider the decision.

"Betty I already knew, however part of me supporting and helping you is hearing you say it out loud. Accepting it yourself. Unlike some I am happy to help and I do not judge my patients based on anything. Teenage pregnancy was so common especially in your parents generation. You'd be surprised to know that thought they frown upon it themselves these days. Now lets get a scan underway and see your little baby. Follow me to the table and if you could lift your shirt. I'm guessing this is the dad?" She walked towards the bed and pulled away the curtain and turned on the scanning machine.
Betty followed her and lay on the bed rolling up her shirt and pulling down the front of her trousers slightly.

"I was surprised by that you know, they frown on it so much and yet they all had a scare or a kid! And yes this is the father can he come through?" She waited and the nurse nodded. Jughead came over and held her hand as they waited for the screen to load. It loaded and there it was. A black and white photo with what looked like a jellybean on it. The Doctor pointed out what was what and where the baby was. Tears filled both their eyes, it was a baby. An actual human life forming inside Betty's stomach created by them both. It was something to behold. Once the scan was over and tears had been shed Betty cleaned herself up and got her shirt back down and moved over to the desk.
"You're about four months pregnant so I would say you're due in December. Maybe a Christmas baby never know! But you're going to start showing a lot more bump soon, I would recommend telling everyone by at the latest six months but thats pushing it. You already have a small bump growing." the nurse laughed in a friendly manor.
"I'm so proud of you Cooper." Jughead kissed her warm hands and placed his other hand over her stomach.
The nurse smiled and then got up to print off the photo's, she handed Jughead the prints and looked at his face glow with happiness. Fatherhood suited him well. She went over a few appointment dates and certain food to avoid before sending them on their way with some medication for Betty.
"Well? How was it?" Jughead wrapped his arms around her waist and looked down.

"Shes right you know small bump." He rubbed his hands over her small belly and grinned. She poked him and laughed.
"So rude! HAHA. But on a more serious note we should tell your dad today, if i'm already showing they will find out and you're dad will be calmer about it. What do you say?" She looked at him in the eyes, she was serious. He nodded but was unsure his dad would stay calm about it. A grandfather already? The pair got back onto the bus into Riverdale and headed towards the caravan F.P lived in, with the photo at hand Jughead knocked the door and entered first followed by Betty.
"Son?"
