"Alright, JayJay and Hannah, off to bed." Polly ordered about an hour after they all had arrived back at Polly and Reggie's house
"Awe I don't want to" JayJay groaned
Reggie looked at the boy sitting on the floor "I don't think your mother asked if you wanted to. Now go on up to bed. You can both watch 30 minutes of tv in your rooms" he reasoned
The twins seemed to accept his offer because they both got up and went to their rooms without any further complaints
Betty stretched "Ah I think I'm going to go lie down too." She said beginning to stand up
"Betty wait" Reggie stopped her
Betty paused and looked at him questionably
"Reggie and I have something to tell you" Polly said with a smile
"Nobody else knows yet, not even the twins" Reggie continued
"Well come on, spit it out!" Betty said feeling impatient
"I'm pregnant!" Polly said excitingly
A wide grin spread on Betty's face "Oh my God guys that's awesome" she said as she hugged Polly and then Reggie
"How far along?" she asked
Polly smiled "Only 9 weeks, we wanted to wait till I was at least 12 weeks to tell everyone but since you won't be here then we really wanted to give you the news in person"
Betty smiled "I'm so happy for you guys!"
"Thanks, we're pretty excited too. I know the twins are going to go crazy when they found out they're going to have a baby sibling" Reggie said as he put an arm around Polly's shoulder
Betty smiled at them, they were so happy and in love. And now they were adding another addition to their family, Reggie had really helped pull Polly out of her roughest days, He was her biggest supporter and encourager who made her into the confident woman that she was today.
"Congrats again guys!" Betty said giving each of them another hug. "I'll see you in the morning" she bid a goodnight and made her way to her guest bedroom
Betty laid back in the cozy queen-sized bed and fiddled with her thumbs, debating in her head "Should I text him?" she thought "I mean, Drake has never met Archie, he knows about Archie though. And it's not like I'm cheating on Drake, I'm just catching up with an old friend" she continued to think. Betty debated with herself for a few more minutes before an idea came to mind
When he didn't answer when she called him she decided to text him
Bold Drake Italics Betty
Hey hubby to be!
Hey
So, I got back from my reunion about an hour and a half ago
Oh. How was it?
It was great I caught up with a lot of old friends that I haven't seen in years. My friend Kevin I told you about and his partner Moose who I also went to school with were there with the baby they are adopting. She is one of the prettiest babies I've ever seen, well besides Sawyer who stole the show like he usually doe's you should have seen him on that dance floor babe. It was adorable
Sounds like you had fun
I did…. My friend Archie…. who I've told you stories about. He wants to meet me for lunch or something tomorrow
That's nice
Are you okay with that?
Sure, whatever you want to do
Betty couldn't help but smile in relief, she felt better knowing Drake knew she was with Archie and that he was okay with it. Before she could text back he texted her again
Listen babe, I'm tired but I'll text you sometime tomorrow okay?
Okay, love you goodnight.
You too
Next Betty went to her contacts and went to her newest contact
Archie was just dried of after getting out of the shower when he heard his phone go off, he wrapped the towel around his waist and picked his phone up off the bathroom counter
Bold Archie Italics Betty
Hey
Archie smiled widely and walked into his bedroom Oh, Betty hey! How are you
I'm good…even though it's only been an hour and a half since we last saw each other lol
He chuckled to himself and sat down on his bed Oh yeah ha-ha I guess that was probably a stupid question
It's all good. I'm flattered that you asked how I was. So, are you still free tomorrow?
Of course, why you want to meet up still?
Yeah, I'd really love to catch up with you
Me too, when is good for you?
Whenever, my day is completely clear
Mine too, why don't we just make a whole day out of it then? I'll pick you up from Reggie's around 10, we'll go to lunch and we can just drive around. I'll show you everything that's changed in Riverdale since you've been away
Sounds fantastic
Great I'll see you then! Goodnight Elizabeth Cooper
Goodnight Archibald Andrews
The next morning Betty found herself looking in the mirror of the bedroom she was occupying giving her hair one last little touch up
"Aunt Betty there's a man here for you" Hannah said stepping into the room
Betty turned to look at her niece "Tall, red head?" she asked
Hannah grinned and nodded her head
"Tell him I'll be right down" she said
Hannah nodded and skipped out of the room, Betty walked over to the nightstand and grabbed her purse, before making her way down stairs
"Hey" Archie waved from the doorway
"Hey" Betty smiled taking in his light Green button up shirt that made his hair stand out and dark jeans that complimented the shirt nicely
"You look nice" Archie complimented gesturing toward her Green v neck paired with dark blue capris
"Thanks" Betty smiled looking down at herself
"You guys are matching" JayJay piped up from where Hannah and he stood off to the side observing the scene
Archie grinned "Ha ha I guess we are, aren't we?'
"Well I hope you two have a good day, bring her back whenever Arch" Polly teased
Archie sent her a smirk "Will do Polls, and Jay make sure you talk to your dad about football okay?"
JayJay nodded "Sure will coach"
Archie held the door open for Betty as they left the house
"Football?" Betty asked as he lead the way to his car
Archie nodded "Yeah I'm the coach of the junior football team for Riverdale now and JayJay wants to start playing" he explained as he opened the passenger side door for Betty to get in
He walked around to the driver's side and slid in "And you drive a Mustang now?" Betty grinned
Archie smiled "What can I say, the construction business is good" he drove for a few more seconds "Well not that good. This was my dad's he sold it to me for a deal when he got a newer one" he smirked earning a light giggle from Betty
"So, what do you say lunch at Pops?" Betty suggested
Archie nodded "You know me Bets, all these years later and Pops is still my go to"
They got to Pops and talked about old times for hours not dealing on the present or future but just reminiscing.
"Remember how when you were set perform the class song at graduation one of your guitar strings broke?" Betty said
Archie nodded "Yeah, I was so embarrassed"
"But Juggie came to the rescue! Did you ever find out how he even had a guitar string on him?" she asked
Archie shook his head "No all these years later and I've never figured it out. But he's Jughead should we really question anything. The guy is a mind reader"
Betty nodded "Him and Cheryl seem happy" she pointed
Archie nodded "Yeah they do, who da thunk"
Betty nodded in agreement
"Well B, it's already 2" he said pointing to the clock on the wall
Betty glanced over at it "Wow we've been talking away for over 2 hours"
Archie nodded "Let's go do your little tour, it shouldn't take long" he said lying the money for their bill on the table and standing up. Betty followed him
An hour later they were done with their little drive through of Riverdale.
"So, Betts what's on the agenda now?" Archie asked
Betty shrugged "I don't know, if you want you can bring me back to Polly's. I don't want you to feel like you have to spend the entire day with me" she said glancing over at him
Archie let out a chuckle "I don't feel like I have to, I want to. I've missed you Betty, want to come to my place? We can talk some more and catch up?" he suggested
Betty nodded "Yeah I'd like that"
