Missing You (Barchie)

Betty's POV

I was sitting in my living room waiting with mary. Archie had been missing for almost a week and we had been searching like crazy. I had been playing with my engagement so much that my finger had starting bleeding. My stomach was in knots and I hadn't showered since he was gone

Mary- "don't worry Betty, we'll find him" she rubbed my back as I felt nauseous again. I ran to the bathroom with Mary following me like always. She held my hair back as threw up the little bit of food I ate that morning

Mary- "Betty, maybe you should go to the doctor? This can't just because of what's going on" Betty- (cries) "I'm f-fine, I promise" I heard Mary sigh as I leaned up against the wall of the sink. Betty- (cries) "I just need to know he's okay" Mary- "I know" she pulled me into a hug as I sobbed into her shoulder. Betty- (sobs) "I need him"

She held me as I cried since Archie was gone. He was always there for me and now that he couldn't I felt the worst I had ever felt

I was sitting with Mary on the bathroom floor after I finally calmed down. She took my hand which made me worry. Betty- (sniffles) "I'm sorry" Mary- "oh Betty, it's not that I just.. I might know why you're throwing up so much" she opened the bottom of the sink and handed me a pregnancy test

I just stared at her and started crying again. Betty- (cries) "n-no! I can't b-be I don't wanna be!" Mary- (softly) "I know but you have to know" she hugged me again before standing up and walking to the door. Mary- "I'm just outside if you need me. You don't have to, but I think you should take it" she closed the door and left me to stare at the box. I knew she was right so I did end up taking it

After I finished, I placed it face down on the sink and put my hands on my head. This was probably the worst timing ever but I needed to know. I set my phone timer and waited the longet three minutes of my life

I was startled when it went off and took a deep breath. I was ready to flip it when I heard a knock on the front door. I bolted out of the bathroom and ran up behind Mary who already opened the door. Betty- " S-Sheriff Keller." Sheriff Keller- "Betty, Mrs Andrews. I'm afraid we found Archie's DNA at the scene of a car crash. The body was destroyed beyond recognition but we're almost sure it's him"

I was frozen but once I realized that he was gone, I fell to my knees as Mary tried to support me. I was sobbing so hard that I was having trouble breathing. After he left, Mary closed the door and helped me to my bedroom. She left me alone as I sobbed into my pillows. I couldn't believe the love of my life was actually gone and I didn't get to say goodbye

The night he went missing we had a fight and he left to cool off. It was my fault he went out and that's what killed him. I couldn't live with myself and didn't go downstairs for a week. Mary would bring me some food but I always threw it back up. It always reminded me of the test downstairs but I didn't have the courage to go look at it.

Even though I didn't look at the test, I already knew what it said. One morning when I was going into the shower and looked at myself in the mirror. I put my hands around my stomach and saw a little baby bump. It made me cry even harder. I didn't want to face the reality of having Archie's baby, but Mary helped me

Mary- "Betty, we have to take you to the doctor" Betty- "no, I'm fine. I don't need to know anything" Mary- "ignoring it isn't going to make it go away. We both know you're pregnant Betty. I made you an appointment and I think you should go" Betty- (in tears) "b-but you're going back to Chicago, a-and I can't do it by myself" Mary- "yes you can, you're one of the strongest women I know. You can do this" Betty- (cries) "not without him" she took my hand and stroked my cheek with her thumb

Mary- "I know it's hard, but this is a good thing. He's not gone Betty, it's his baby. And I know if something happens you won't be able to live with yourself" I thought about it for a second and sniffled before looking down at my stomach. She was right and I had to go to that appointment

Betty- (sniffles) "y-you're right Mary, thank you" I hugged her tightly before running upstairs and getting dressed. I also had to go shopping since almost none of my clothes fit me

I hurried to the doctors and they told me I was already five months along. They asked me if I wanted to know the gender so I of course said yes. I was having a little baby girl and she was mine. Even though Archie wouldn't be here I still had to take care of our baby

Once I was done I went back to the house. Mary was leaving in couple days and I guess that's the room where she would go. I was actually really happy when thinking about having a daughter and I knew I was going to be okay

After a few months I went into labour and gave birth to my little girl. She was taken away from me at first and I was so scared but then the nurses brought her back to me

Nurse Ava- "here she is, she had a little bit of trouble breathing but she's perfect now" Betty- (sniffles) "thank god, can I see her?" Nurse Ava- (smiles) "definitely" she came over and handed my girl over to me. Betty- (in tears) "she's beautiful" Nurse Ava- (softly) "call if you need anything" she patted my shoulder and left me alone

Betty- (sniffles) "looks like it's me and you kid, against the world. I'm sorry your dads not here to meet you but I promise I'm going to do everything I can to make your life a happy one" Her little finger grabbed onto mine as I smiled. Betty- "we're going to be okay, I know it"

A year later

I was bouncing Audrey on my lap as she giggled. I loved her so much and she was my everything. She reminded me of Archie even though she was only one, she had bright red hair and my green eyes. She was so cute and loved everyone she met.

I was always a little over protective since she was one of the only things I had from Archie. She was my little princess and I wish Archie was here to meet her

I turned her around and looked at her happy face. All I could see was Archie, at first it would make me upset but now I loved it. Betty- "Hey baby" Audrey- "Mama!" I kissed kissed her cheek as she smiled. Betty- "why don't we go get you-" I then heard a knock on the door. I shrugged and put Audrey in her playpen before going over to the door

I opened in and froze in shock as the love of my life stood on the other side

Betty- (in tears) "A-Arch?"

His clothes were ripped and he was covered in dry blood but I didn't care, I was just happy to see him after all that time. Archie- "oh my god Betty" he pulled me into his arms as I cried into his shoulder. We stayed there for almost five minutes before he pulled away

Archie- "I'm so sorry I left you, The serpents took me. Apparently Jughead was always jealous abour you choosing me in high school" Betty- (cries) "I'm just happy you're alive" He cupped my cheek as I smiled and kissed him. Betty- "and I actually have someone I want you to meet" he was confused for a second so I just pulled him inside

I walked him over to the playpen and picked Audrey up. Betty- (sniffles) "Arch, this is your daughter Audrey" his jaw dropped as she reached over for him. Archie- "y-you mean? I-I left you when you were pregnant?" I nodded as he took Audrey in his arms. Archie- "I would've gotten away sooner" Betty- "it's okay, you're here now and that's what matters" I kissed Audrey's cheek and then his lips. Archie- "and I'm not leaving you again"

He put Audrey down and hugged me again. Archie- "I'm so sorry you had to do it by yourself" Betty- (smiles) "I don't care about that, you're alive after I thought you were dead for over a year but now you're here and I couldn't be more happier" he smiled and picked me up as I wrapped my legs around his waist. We kissed passionately as we both smiled. Betty- "god I've missed that" Archie- "and I missed you"
