After a memorable day filled with love and celebration, Jay and Moose returned to the JW Marriott along with their friends, eager to unwind and bask in the afterglow of their joyous union. As they settled into their hotel room, the air was thick with anticipation and desire.

Jay pulled Moose close, his hands roaming over Moose's body as their lips met in a passionate kiss. The intensity of their love igniting a fire within them as they lost themselves in each other's embrace.

Meanwhile, Veronica and Reggie slipped away to the pool room, their desire for each other burning bright as they indulged in a heated makeout session. The cool water providing a refreshing contrast to the fiery passion between them.

As Archie lounged on the patio, enjoying the tranquil ambiance, his peace was shattered by the buzz of his phone. He glanced at the screen to see a message from Natalie Manning, the name sending a chill down his spine.

The message was innocuous enough, a simple invitation to visit Riverdale. But Archie knew better than to trust Natalie's intentions. He politely declined her offer, not wanting to entertain the idea of her presence in their lives any longer.

Natalie's response was swift and cutting, her words dripping with bitterness and resentment. She threatened to come to Riverdale regardless of Archie's wishes, determined to confront Cheryl, Betty, Toni, Veronica, and Josie.

Archie sighed heavily, frustration and concern weighing heavily on his mind. He knew Natalie was unpredictable and dangerous, and the thought of her causing trouble for his friends filled him with dread.

With a determined resolve, Archie typed out a response, firm in his stance. He warned Natalie that her presence would not be welcome in Riverdale, and that he would do whatever it takes to protect his friends from her toxic influence.

As he hit send, a sense of apprehension lingered in the air. The looming threat of Natalie's arrival casting a shadow over their happiness. But amidst the uncertainty, one thing remained certain – they were bound together by love, and together, they would weather whatever storms came their way.

As the night settled in, Jay and Moose found themselves back at the JW Marriott, nestled in the warmth of their shared bed. The soft glow of the bedside lamp illuminated their faces as they exchanged tender words of love and dreams for the future.

"Moose, can you imagine us raising a family together?" Jay mused, his voice filled with excitement at the prospect.

Moose smiled, his eyes shining with affection. "Of course, Jay. I can't wait to start a family with you."

They discussed their hopes and aspirations, sharing their desire for a child to complete their happy union. Jay playfully speculated about the baby's gender, teasing Moose about their future as parents.

"I hope it's a boy," Moose confessed, his voice tinged with anticipation. "I can just picture him running around, causing mischief like his dads."

Jay chuckled, leaning in to plant a soft kiss on Moose's lips. "A little mini-me, huh? That sounds perfect."

Meanwhile, Cheryl and Toni found themselves engaged in a conversation of their own, reflecting on the events of the previous night. Toni recounted the moment she came to Cheryl's defense, her fist meeting Natalie Manning's face in a swift and satisfying blow.

"I couldn't just stand by and watch her bully you, Cheryl," Toni explained, her voice laced with determination. "I had to do something."

Cheryl smiled gratefully, reaching out to squeeze Toni's hand. "Thank you, Toni. You're my hero."

Their moment of camaraderie was interrupted by a faint rustling sound emanating from the hotel closet. Cheryl furrowed her brow in confusion, exchanging a puzzled glance with Toni.

With cautious steps, Cheryl approached the closet, her heart pounding in her chest. As she swung the door open, her eyes widened in shock to find Natalie Manning cowering inside.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Cheryl demanded, her voice laced with anger.

Natalie shrugged nonchalantly, her eyes darting nervously around the room. "Just looking for a place to crash. Is that such a crime?"

Cheryl's patience wore thin as Natalie dismissed her concerns with callous indifference. Toni stepped forward, her expression steely as she addressed Natalie.

"You need to leave, Natalie. Now," Toni commanded, her voice brooking no argument.

Natalie rolled her eyes, pushing past Toni as she made her way to the door. "Fine, I'm going. But this isn't over, Cheryl. Remember that."

With a final glance filled with malice, Natalie disappeared into the night, leaving Cheryl and Toni to exchange a weary sigh of relief. As they closed the door behind her, they knew that their bond was stronger than any threat Natalie could pose. And together, they would face whatever challenges lay ahead, armed with love and unwavering resolve.
