My hair flowing in the wind, I held my arms tight around Ryder's waist as we rode his motorbike through the streets of Riverdale. He had apologized as he had forgotten a helmet, even for himself, but promised that I would be safe. He was right.

It only took a few minutes to arrive at the Cooper's home, and when we did, Ryder and I were both safe and sound. He walked me up to the porch.

"Do you want me to come in with you?" Ryder asked, still concerned about his girlfriend's health, and safety.

I reached up and gave him a quick kiss. "I'll be fine", I assured him. "I just need to have a shower then go to bed".

"Ok", Ryder replied, gently smiling before initiating another kiss.

Ryder was glad she wasn't hurt from her ordeal just before, but he was still worried. Once he had seen his girlfriend safely inside, Ryder puked out his phone, about to call Jughead as he jogged down the steps.

Just before he was about to hit the call button, a broken down pickup truck pulled up to the street curb. Ryder walked cautiously towards it. Once the passenger door open, he released a breath. "Speak of the devil", he mumbled, walking to the truck.

"What was that?" Jughead asked his good friend, humour evident in his tone.

"I was just about to call you", Ryder explained.

"Dad and I went to get the truck," Jug motioned to FP shutting the door on the other side of the car, "so we could stay the night out here, keep an eye on the girls, make sure they're safe".

"That's exactly what I was going to call you about" Ryder told Jug.

"We figured the ladies wouldn't allow us in the house, and even if they did it would be best to be outhere, see if anyone tries to get into the house", FP spoke up as he rounded the vehicle.

"Well, I'm in". Ryder stated.

FP and Jughead shared a look then nodded. "We're going to take shifts, one of us sit up front in the driver's seat and the other sleep in the back", Fp explained, "but you can sit in the passenger's seat if you want".

The three guys got set up for their night in the truck. Thankfully Jughead had thought to bring was getting dark outside, but the guys weren't tired yet. That sat in the truck, Jughead and FP in the front seats and Ryder in the backseat, talking about everything and nothing.

Ryder just hoped JB would feel safe.

...oOo…

Inside, JB looked sat on the window seat in her temporary room, looking out the window at the guys in the truck, keeping them safe.

"How are you feeling?" Betty asked softly as she walked into my room.

I smiled. "I'm feeling much better", I assured her. "I just had a shower and now I'm happy cuddling my baby sister". I snuggled sleeping Caddy closer to my chest.

Betty matched my smile, coming to sit beside my on the window seat. "I saw you looking outside before, everything alright?"

I jutted my chin towards the pick-up truck parked at the curb. "Our Serpent boyfriends dicded to keep an eye on us tonight."

Chuckling, Betty replied. "Those Serpents, always protecting the ones they love".

That struck a memory for me. "Earlier, right after Penny got shot, Ryder told me he loved me", I told the girl who had been like a sister to me.

Betty et out a little squeal, pulling me into a hug, minding the baby.

I laughed. "Shush, Caddys' still asleep".

"Sorry! I'm so happy for you though. This is a good thing, right?"

"Yes, yeah it is."

We sat in, comfortable silence for a minute, before I broke it. "It's so nice having a Serpent as a partner"

"Yeah, they're so loyal, and protective, which is sometimes annoying", Betty motioned to the truck outside, "but all in all, they're really nice."

Betty nodded silently. Caddy stirred. I repositioned her, rocking her gently in my arms. If anything happened to Caddy, I would never forgive the person who caused her harm. Standing up, I put Caddy in her crib. We alternated each night where the baby slept, giving each girl a chance at a good night's sleep, and that night it was stationed in my room. Gently placing Caddy in the crib and wrapping a light pink crocheted blanket around her, I hummed to her softly.

Betty came up beside me. "You treat her like she's your own child", she said softly.

"Sometimes I feel like she is. She would have no one if it wasn't for me." I turned to Betty. "There was a social worker who came to see me after Mom had passed, Ms Cirby. She advised me that it would be best to give Caddy to a orphanage, said that I was too young to look after her myself. I couldn't do it though. I couldn't let my baby sister go off to that 'Sisters of Quiet Mercy Ms Cirby told me about."

Betty let out a breath. "Thank God that you didn't send her there!"

I looked at her curiously. She explained.

"The Sisters of Quiet Mercy is a very bad place. My sister was put in there when my parents found out she was pregnant with Jason Blossom's baby and a few months later, Cheryl's mother put her in there too. They both said it was evil".

I was just more relieved at my decision of not sending Caddy there. I was so glad Caddy was alright.

..oOo..

The next morning I awoke to Caddy crying. I picked her and comforted her, and went downstairs to heat her bottle. Glancing out the window, I saw Dad's truck parked outside still.

"Gee they're idiots." I thought to myself, as I checked the bottle's temperature.

After I had fed Caddy, I prepared breakfast for Dad, Ryder and Jughead -which is like cooking for two people in one- holding Caddy against hip.

I walked out to the truck, still holding Caddy, poked my head inside and asked them, "I prepared breakfast for you guys if you want it."

Jughead was asleep but woke immediately at the mention of food.

"I am starving!" Jughead exclaimed as he jumped out of the truck and walked inside.

"Sounds good", Dad replied also jumping at the thought of a nice breakfast.

Ryder came out of the truck, kissed me good morning before asking me how I sept, rubbing his hand over Caddy's light dusting of brown hair.

"Pretty well considering that I was woken up about five times by Caddy last night," I replied yawning. "You?"

"Did not get a wink." Ryder shook his head. "There was no way that I could fall asleep when you were not 100 percent safe."

I hugged him thankfully. "You worry far too much." I told him ruffling his hair.

"What's for breakfast?" Ryder concluded looking over my shoulder to the kitchen.

"Bacon, eggs, toast and freshly squeezed orange juice," I told him.

"Sounds delicious," Ry said, leaning down to kiss my cheek. At that moment Betty and Alice came downstairs, having smelled the bacon sizzling.

"Smells good down here", Alice commented as she walked to the kitchen. She noticed the guys. "Hey, whatcha all doing here?"

"They stayed the night in FP's truck outside", Betty explained, greeting Jughead with a kiss. Alice smiled, embracing FP with a hug.

I smiled at the sight of the two other couples, that us girls had such loyal and watchful boyfriends.

"Well, let's eat!"
