Jughead POV
Jughead poured himself a glass of wine and looked out of the window. Panic was starting to hit him. Where is she? he thought desperately. Jughead sat down on the sofa and circled the edge of his glass with his fingertip. He put his head back on the soft cushion behind him and tried to remember what had happened.
~2 hours earlier~
"Are you coming?" Betty repeated. Jughead looked up from his computer screen, his eyebrows raised. Betty tapped her foot on the stone floor beneath her, hands on her hips and her blue eyes narrowed. Jughead knew she was starting to get fed up with him but he had just gotten to the turning point in his book and he was worried that he wasn't going to remember how he wanted it to end if he didn't finish the chapter.
"To the dinner", Betty said, her voice frosty. Jughead tried to hide the dismay on his face but failed, miserably.
"Am I expected to come?" he whined. He hated it when he made that voice but he was still pretty terrified of Alice Cooper and the prospect of having dinner with her made his stomach flip.
"Considering you are my fiancé, I would say yes", she replied sternly as she grabbed a mop and started to clean. Jughead instantly felt bad, he couldn't let her do the housework as she was nearly seven months pregnant. Jughead stood up quickly and went over to his soon to be wife, placing his hands on the mop.
"Here, let me do it", he said. Betty once again narrowed her blue eyes at him. God, I hope our child has her eyes, Jughead thought. And of course his little daydream meant he yet again had missed what Betty had said.
"What is it today with you and not listening to me", she said angrily. Jughead let go of the mop, slightly worried for his life.
"Sorry", Jughead said lamely. This seemed to anger her further. Mind you, it was understandable as her hormones had started kicking in when she had hit around six months pregnant mark. Jughead would often find her crying, laughing or shouting at the television or a book she had started to read.
"Fine I will just go by myself", she whispered angrily. Jughead instantly felt awful.
"Listen it's fine-" he started by Betty was already grabbing her coat and heading towards the door.
"Betty please", Jughead called running after her as she started to walk towards her mothers house. It wasn't far as Betty and Jughead had decided to stay in Riverdale after a long debate about it. Jughead had wanted to move as apart from Archie and Veronica there wasn't much in the town for him. His father was drinking less and had quit smoking but he still went to the Serpents bar even after they had told him that Betty was pregnant. Betty on the other hand wanted to stay as she wanted to be near her friends and family. Plus she had applied to work at the school so it made more sense not to move.
"Come on Betts", Jughead said running to catch up with her. She was surprisingly fast for a pregnant woman. At any other time Jughead would have made this joke however he didn't think it was exactly a good time at that precise moment.
"You clearly don't want to have anything to do with MY family", Betty seethed as she brushed her hand away. Jughead shook his head.
"That's not true I-" he began but Betty cut him off.
"Just go home Jughead", she said sounding very tired. And with that, she left him standing on the pavement watching after her.
~Back to the present~
Jughead tried dialling her phone again and got no answer. He thought about ringing Betty's mum however he decided against that stomach churning idea. He didn't hate the Coopers it was just that they pretty much hated him. Of course they had become nicer to him over the years but he couldn't help but notice Alice Coopers glares at him. He knew they thought she was far to good for him and he agreed with them. But it bugged him that even after proposing and being the father of the child Betty was carrying that they couldn't accept him into the family.
Betty POV
Betty tucked into the roast dinner that he mother had made. It was delicious and she was pretty hungry so within minutes she was topping up her plate, much to the disapproval of her mother.
"Careful Betty", her mother said eating as slowly as a dying snail. Betty had to bite her tongue not to say anything.
"Where's Polly?" Betty asked. Alice Cooper sighed at her other daughters name.
"Out leaving me with Emily and Hugo", her mother complained. The topic then went to how she was feeling and then finally to the missing person next to her at the table.
"So, where is he?" Alice asked. Betty took a long sip of water.
"Busy", Betty replied. Alice raised an eyebrow.
"Too busy to come and eat the food that I prepared?" she replied, her tone icy.
"Mum, please leave it", Betty said. Alice Cooper shook her head.
"Don't be too hard on him Betty, he is clearly trying very hard to please everyone and I'm sure he will be a good father", her mother said unexpectedly. Betty practically gagged on her food in shock.
"Did you just-" Betty started but she was cut off.
"Don't make me repeat it, now go home and get some rest", she replied sternly. Betty nodded and left the house, her heart slightly hammering in her chest. She walked home thinking about all the sweet things Jughead had down since she had told him that she was expecting their baby. For instance, the time he had made her the most delicious dinner just to say thank-you for carrying his child. And the time he had sat up with her all night when she was being sick. Another time when he was so understanding when she vomited in his precious beanie (which she washed three times so that he could wear it again) Betty felt bad, she knew he was partially petrified of her mother and she couldn't blame him. Betty had been so lost in her thoughts that she hadn't noticed that she had arrived home. The curtains were drawn but she could see that Jughead was in the living room. Luckily she had brought her keys so she didn't have to embarrass herself by knocking on the door. Betty carefully opened the door and walked in quietly just in case he was asleep on the sofa. Her phone was on the side and she picked it up. The screen flashed on and she read in amazement the amount of miscalled she had. 52. All of them from her fiancé. Betty wanted to kick herself, she felt so cruel and stupid. Taking a deep breath, she walked into the living room.
Jughead POV
Jughead was trying hard to watch the television but he was far too worried about Betty. He was about to ring her yet again when she walked into their living room, her blue eyes shining. Jughead sprang off the sofa, his hands slightly shaking.
"Oh Juggie, I'm so sorry", she whispered and he went over to her. She took his hands and pulled him into a tight embrace. She smelt of vanilla and roast dinner making his stomach rumble. Jughead suddenly realised that he hadn't actually had any dinner.
"I'm sorry too Betts, I should have come with you", Jughead said into her shoulder. He let his hands trail down her back until they came to her bump where the baby, his baby was. Her stomach was swollen and had grown remarkably. Betty sighed as he ever so gently massaged her stomach relieving all the tension out of her system. Betty cupped his head in her hands and kissed him softly. He adored it when she kissed him. Suddenly, his cursed stomach rumbled loudly interrupting their kiss.
"Hungry?" Betty enquired making him grin.
"You bet", he replied. Betty shook her head.
"You're always hungry Juggie", she said fondly, walking over to the fridge and getting some bread out to make him a sandwich.
"Betts you don't need to, get some rest", he instructed. Betty turned to him and rolled her sparkling eyes.
"Jug I'm not some idiot, just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I can't make my fiancé a sandwich", Betty told him. Jughead shook his head but he was grateful as Betty's sandwiches were to die for.
"Here you go", she said. Jughead and Betty sat down at the table and began discussing baby names...
