Bughead Oneshots✨

It will happen✨

Betty trailed out of Pops bathroom, with a miserable look on her face, red rimmed eyes and a slight tear pouring out of her eye.
"V?" Betty tapped her best friend on the shoulder slightly, avoiding eye contact with her husband who was sat opposite Archie and Veronica.
"You ok B?" She questioned, concerned.
"Do you have a tampon I could use?" She whispered.
"Oh, sure." Veronica responded, reaching into her purse. Betty looked up and made eye contact with her husband, seeing the frustrated yet broken look on his face and a tear escaped her eye. Before she could wipe it away, Veronica turned to face her, offering her a little purse with period products inside.
"Oh, B! What's wrong? Have you got bad cramps?" She asked sympathetically. Betty just nodded along solemnly, not in the right headspace to explain right now. "I'll grab a pain killer ready for when you come back out, okay?" She spoke, rubbing her hand on Betty's arm.
"Thanks V." She murmured, before turning around and making her way towards the bathroom.
Jughead sighed and leaned back over the vinyl booth, running his hands through his dark locks.
"You okay bro?" Archie asked, confused. Jughead just sat back up and nodded, avoiding eye contact, stirring his coffee.
"You sure Jug?" Veronica asked.
"Yes! Okay? I'm fine! Can you just leave me alone now?" Jughead raised his voice slightly, causing Archie and Veronica to flinch.
"She was just checking up on you, Jug, you didn't need to react like that." Archie defended. Jughead let out a huff before turning back to Veronica.
"You're right. I'm sorry, Veronica. I didn't mean to raise my voice at you." He spoke, fiddling with the zipper on his jacket. It was times like these that he wishes he still had his beanie to calm his anxieties.
"Oh god." Veronica almost whispered. "Betty's crying because she got her period and you're clearly frustrated...did you not want her to get her period?" Veronica asked, gently. Jughead just shrugged looking down at his lap. "Are you guys trying?" She asked again. Archie's eyebrows kept up into his hair.
"Wow, Jug, is that true?" He asked, comfortingly.
"It's not my place to say..." Jughead mumbled. Veronica let out a sigh of sorrow as Betty walked back to the table. She slid back in, handing the purse back to Veronica and quickly wiping the tears that were escaping. Jughead brushed his hand against her shoulder and pulled her in to leave a long kiss on her temple.
"You okay?" He asked. She just nodded before taking the pain killer.
"Are you sure, B? We can do this another time if you want to go home." Veronica said reassuringly.
"Why would I need to go home? It's only a period." Betty snapped. Veronica just nodded quietly. A look of recognition crossed Betty's face. "Oh my god, you told them?" Betty turned to her husband, giving him a look of disappointment and hurt.
"No, no, I didn't, honey." He pleaded, pulling her closer to him.
"He didn't, B." Veronica interrupted. "We kind of figured it out." She whispered.
"Oh god." Betty whispered, before sobbing quietly into her hands. Jughead planted a kiss to his wife's temple, whispering a quiet 'I'm sorry, darling'.
"I'm sorry, B." Veronica said, reaching a hand over to rub her arm. "How long have you guys been trying, if you don't mind me asking?" She asked.
"Four months...but this is the first time that we actually suspected that I was pregnant. We bought a pregnancy test this morning and we were going to take it when we got home. Serves us right for getting our hopes up." She spoke with a humourless laugh.
"No, B, that's not true. I'm so happy for you guys for trying to start a family. That's a big deal. It'll happen for you guys, I'm sure of it." Veronica said wholeheartedly.
"Definitely. Everyone knows that you guys are meant to be parents." Archie chipped in.
"Thanks guys, that means a lot to us." Jughead said as Betty silently agreed.
"We're going to head off to see my mom for a bit to run over some christmas plans, but call me later, B?" Veronica asked.
"Yeah, sure, I'll speak to you later." Betty spoke, quietly.
"I love you, B. You'll be okay I promise you." Veronica leant over to give her a one armed hug.
"I love you too, V." Betty spoke as the other couple left the diner. Jughead turned to Betty, holding her hands in his, before leaning down to kiss them.
"You doing okay?" He whispered. She nodded with a sad smile and a single tear rolling down her face. He wiped it away with the pad of his thumb.
"Veronica and Archie are right. It will happen. We'll be okay, I know we will. We'll have our little baby. Our beautiful family." He whispered, leaning his forehead against hers.
"I know, I know. I'm just being an emotional wreck because on my period. It will happen. Hopefully soon. I'll just have to try putting my legs up against the headboard after we've had sex." She giggled. He laughed along with her.
"I'm so proud of you. I know you feel like there's a lot of pressure on you right now but please just try and relax. I've heard that it makes it easier to get pregnant. Let's just not think about trying to get pregnant when we have sex. Let's just think about each other. Our love. Okay?" He asked, pressing a gentle kiss to her soft lips.
"Okay." She whispered, cuddling into her husband's side as he wrapped his arms around her. "I love you."
"I love you too, darling." He whispered into her hair.
