Ordinary Days 3

A/N I'm sorry this took so long. Writers block then life took me out. Warnings: mention of smut ---- Jughead guided a nervous Betty up to the door by the small of her back. The farmhouse in front of them looked very similar to their own, expect this house wasn't white but a light brown. There was a warm glow coming from the home, a soft music flowing through the cracked window. It was late august so it warm during the day, enough for Jughead to sport his white beater while he worked. But cool enough at night for Betty to wear a sweater over his baby pink dress. Jughead's rough knuckles rapped against the light colored door. Without a second passing by, Jellybean had thrown open the door and wrapped her arms around Jughead. Betty was taken back by the love that oozed from Jellybean, she could tell that Jellybean really loved her brother. That made Betty happy but worried that if Betty ever hurt him there would be hell to pay. “Geez JB! You just saw me Sunday.” Jughead groaned at the impact of her hug before patting her back. “Yes… but! Sunday you weren't a married man!” She exclaimed as she pulled away from him and turned to face Betty. “Hi Betty. I'm happy you're here.” She paused glancing at her small belly. Betty was barely showing but to someone who already knew she was pregnant, it was clearly a baby bump. “May I?” She asked reaching for Betty's stomach. Betty nodded slightly, Jellybean’s hands layer delicately on Betty's stomach. Betty looked over at Jughead who had sighed and sagged his head in defeat. Betty smiled his way, she didn't mind, she just wasn't used to being pregnant or anyone being happy about it. When her family found out it wasn't hugs and belly rubs, it was gasps and angry insults. The only person happy was her sister, Polly, but even Polly had her doubts and worries. Now Betty was standing with a sister-in-law who was no doubly thrilled for Betty and slowly Betty was becoming thrilled too. “Hi there, I'm your Aunt Jellybean.” JB whispered to Betty's stomach. “Come on JB, it’s chilly. Let's not keep them outside.” John called from the door. Jellybean jumped at the sound of his voice, removing her hands from Betty and pulled her gently inside, Jughead following behind. “Sorry I'm not thinking straight, I'm just so happy you're here.” Jellybean explained quickly as the walked through the door. Once inside, they were greeted by two young kids. One, a boy standing about four feet tall and the other a girl close to Betty's height. “This is my son Noah, he’s 7, and my daughter, Anna, who just turned 13.” JB explained as Noah threw himself at Jughead. Jughead grunted at the force and picked him up into his arms. “I milked a cow today Uncle Jug!” The little boy explained with pure excitement. Jughead chuckled at him, “Well then, I'll have to get you to come milk my cows.” Betty watched the interaction, a smile forming on her lips. Maybe her mother had made a decent choice, sending her here to a man who was ready for a family. A fragile hand tugged at Betty's sleeve catching her attention. She turned to face the young girl who Jellybean introduced as Anna. “Aunt Betty?” The girl paused, “I can call you that can't I?” This family had to be as normal as it could be if Jughead and Betty were going to pull this off. “Of course you can Anna.” Betty said with a smile. The girl breathed a sigh of relief and continued her thought. “I sure hope we can get along. I've never had a real aunt, only Aunt V.” She said looking to the living room where a couple around Betty and Jughead’s age. “Aunt V’s advice is um well let's just say I tried it and it did not work out.” Anna said emphasizing the word not. “Maybe we could be sort of friends? Like I can talk to you about stuff?” “Sounds like a plan.” Betty assured Anna as the young girl giggled and skipped away. Next to greet Betty was a slender woman with dark hair. If she didn't know better she would assume this woman was another sister of Jughead's. “Hi, I'm Veronica Andrews, nee Lodge. You can call me V.” She gushed at Betty as Betty connected Anna story with the woman. She wondered what advice she had given Anna. “I'm the best friend’s wife, that's my husband over there.” She said pointing to a redheaded man who sat on the couch reading to Noah. He looked oddly put out of place among the brunette family. Even the in laws seemed to share the hair color trait, leaving Betty and Archie the oddballs out, the blonde and the redhead. “It's great to meet you, Betty Co-” Betty cleared her throat, “Jones. I'm Betty Jones.” She clarified taking in a breath and faking a smile. What a difference a few days had made. “Okay come on! I made pot roast and it's calling our names!” JB proclaimed, ushering them into the dining room. As they all funneled into the dining room, Jughead placed a guiding hand on Betty's back. This was something Jughead had become accustomed to doing in the past few days. It had become second nature to him and Betty found it reassuring, that just maybe they could be friends. They both gravitated to the back of the crowd as they entered the dining room. Jughead slowly leaned down to Betty's ear sending a shiver down her spine. “Are you alright?” He whispered into her ear. She nodded and smiled up at him, “for now.” They all took their places around the table, John and Jellybean occupying the heads of the table. Archie, Veronica, and Anna on one side of the table. Jughead, Betty, and Noah on the other. The spread in front of them filled all the senses, so much so that Betty wanted to dig in with her hands. Maybe it was the hormones but Betty suddenly felt ravenous. “Why don't we say grace?” John announced holding his hands out for Jughead and Archie to take. Jughead rolled his eyes and groaned inwardly before taking John’s hand and reaching for Betty's. Betty willed her face not to turn red as Jughead's hand enveloped hers. She glanced at Jughead to see if he possibly felt flustered too only to find him looking back. She blushed slightly and bowed her head as John began to pray. “We come before you now Lord to ask your spirit on this meal. It has been wonderfully prepared by my loving wife and we are here as friends and family to enjoy it. We thank you for bringing our new sister, aunt, and wife into our lives. May you bless Jughead and Betty's marriage. Forgive us for our sins father, amen.” Betty's eyes began to well up as she opened her eyes. She had never felt so welcomed and loved so immediately. She had spent a lifetime in her own family and yet overwhelming love was never an emotion she felt. She took a deep breath pushing the tears away. Jughead moved their hands underneath the table, not letting go just yet. “You okay?” He asked softly so only she would hear. She looked at him with a smile and a slight assuring nod, but he could still see the tears hanging onto her eyes. He smiled at her, deciding not to press the matter and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze before letting go. “Ow!” Anna exclaimed from across the table. Betty looked up at her moving her hand from Jughead as if they had been caught. “Stop kicking me!” “Anna! Noah! Stop that! You're gonna make aunt Betty want to leave!” Jellybean sighed shaking her head at her children. Betty shook her head remembering her fights with Polly when they were kids. Jellybean sounded oddly like Betty's mother but she knew it was just a mother's tone she heard. “Aunt Betty? Do you have any siblings who drive you nuts!?” Anna asked throwing a glare at Noah. “Yeah I do, her name is Polly.” Betty explained quietly before taking a bite of her food. “She's older than me. She has a little girl about Noah's age.” Betty explained quickly not wanted to talk about her family. Noah's eyes lit up, “My age? Can I meet her? I've never had a cousin!” Betty almost choked on her water. She swallowed it and shook her head slightly. “I don't know bub. Um...She is uh..” Jughead interrupted her stumbling words, “She lives far away and I don't think her mom and dad could bring her this far.” He deferred quickly as Archie cleared his throat. “Hey Ron, maybe you could take Betty to the hair salon in town, let her meet some of the girls.” Archie suggested changing the topic. As Veronica began to babble about the hilarious thing her assistant Tina did that day in the salon, Jughead turned his attention to Betty. He moved his hand from his own lap to lay gently on her thigh. His rough hands scratched against her smooth freshly shaven skin. Betty jumped slightly at the interaction, unnoticeable to anyone but her and Jughead. His hand had caused her dress to ride up, the fabric laying softly against the rim of her underwear. She looked to him with curious eyes dancing across his face. He turned to her with a small smile that she thought she saw turn up into a smirk. He let his thumb drag slowly in circles along her skin. He looked into to her eyes as if nothing would happen to her because he would protect her from anything, even from his family. She knew he was just trying to help ease her tension, to tell her it was okay, but inside she was having quite a different effect. Her insides coiled as his thumb grazed against her. She wanted to leave and have him in her bed or his bed or wherever they made it to. Their hands searching for bare skin under clothes and their fingers tangled in locks of hair. A mattress or maybe a wall would slam against her back as Jughead plastered her with kisses. Sloppy, wet kisses leaving trails of marks behind them. “Dessert time!” Jellybean beamed startling Betty out of her trance. Jellybean stood in front of the table with a freshly baked apple pie. Betty glanced around her noticing the dishes were cleared except for their glasses. New plates and a fork sat in front of each of them. How long had she been entrenched in her thoughts of Jughead? Jughead removed his hand from Betty's soft skin making an appearance above the table. Betty let out a quiet whimper at the lack of his touch. Jughead glanced at Betty from the corner of his eye, checking for signs that the sound he heard wasn't just in his head. Betty was flustered, still in a state of denial, like he didn't just touch her, like he didn't make her hormones rage. “Betts? Are you ready to go home?” Jughead asked smiling softly at her. Betty swallowed a gasp from the sudden communication. She nodded and pushed back from the table. She wanted to tell him that she wanted to go home and have her way with him, to sleep in his bed. But she push away the idea knowing they had just met and he didn't feel that way about her. “Oh you just got here!” Anna protested. “Aunt Betty is tired. They will come over again soon.” Jellybean explained knowing Betty was probably exhausted from the recent days. Jellybean surely was always tired when carrying her own children, especially during her first pregnancy. Betty needed her space and a soft bed to crawl into. They all exchanged goodbye hugs and kisses. Noah hung onto Betty's leg for a good five minutes before letting go when Jughead pulled him off. “Hey aunt Betty is my girl, only I'm allowed to hold onto her leg.” He teased giving Noah a kiss on his cheek. Betty flushed at the thought of really being Jughead's girl. Something more than a piece of paper and a shared house. Betty and Jughead climbed into his truck waving goodbye to their family. Betty pulled her legs up onto the seat hugging them tight to her body. As the truck moved down the dirt road Betty fell deeper into sleep. “My family liked you… a lot.” Jughead started to talk not realizing Betty was asleep. He chuckled as no response came and he realized she was fast asleep. She was so beautiful as she slept, her face soft, her hair messy. He would stare at her all day if he could, maybe have a painting done of this exact moment. A night that was mostly comfortable and a car ride that defined what dreams were. Ten minutes before they arrived home, Betty stirred from her sleep, tossing on her side to readjust her position. Her head fell softly onto Jughead's shoulder. Jughead smiled down at her, begging himself to refrain from enclosing his arm around her and pulling her close. He tried to make minimal movements with his hands so he wouldn't disturb her. She slept soundly until they arrived at Maple Valley Farms. Jughead put the car in park and turned the car off making Betty stir from her sleep. She sat up rubbing her eyes, “We’re here? That was fast.” Jughead chuckled, “yeah well you slept for like 30 minutes.” Betty smiled and stretched, shaking her head in apology. She reached for the door and hopped out onto the grass. Dakota came running from her dog house at the sound of the door. She jumped onto to Betty searching for attention. Betty giggled rubbing her head thoroughly. “Did you miss me?” Betty asked the pretty pup. In response, Dakota nudged her stomach. Betty scoffed, “I see you only missed the baby not me?” She asked with a giggle. Jughead chuckled from behind her, “Come on. It's getting chilly.” He said casually as walked inside, Betty and Dakota following behind him. They walked in silence into the house and to their separate rooms. Betty wanted to tell Jughead she would like to join him tonight, sleep peacefully in his bed with no expectations. She would change into her pajamas and then maybe she would tell him. Just as Betty entered her room and began to change, her phone beeped. An unknown number popped up on her screen. Hi it's Anna. Mommy got your number from uncle Jughead for emergencies and then gave it to me. I want to know if I can come over and hang with you. You are so cool and I don't have any friends, Just my brother. If you don't want me to, it's okay. I just wanted to ask. Betty smiled at her phone, she didn't know much about Anna or her family but she knew what it was like to feel like a prisoner in your own home. Especially, at the young, transitioning age of thirteen, you needed your space and a good confidant. Hold on I'll ask your uncle. Betty quickly changed into a pajama set of a shirt and shorts with polka dots on it. She sat down her phone and walked towards Jughead’s room. The door was cracked slightly causing it to open when Betty knocked. Jughead looked up from the book he was reading letting out a “hey.” His voice was rough and sleepy, Betty took and deep breath and gulped at the sight of him. His plaid pajama pants hung low on his hips, a noticeable bulge in his crotch. She scrunched her body close to her trying to appear smaller, to disappear. “Reading another baby book?” Betty teased trying to try and ease the tension as well as distract herself from his physique. Jughead chuckled, “No it's a mystery novel,” he sat the book down to look at her. “Everything alright?” “Oh yeah, um, Anna text me and asked if she could over sometime. It seems like she's aching for a friend.” Betty trailed off not sure what else to say. “Sure. I don't mind. I mean the further along you get it might be nice to have company around, to help if needed or just to hang out with someone besides boring me.” Jughead suggested with a smile. Betty chuckled, “you're not boring.” Betty paused as Jughead’s eyes locked on hers, “How about Tuesday?” Jughead agreed and she smiled. Betty opened her mouth to tell him how good he looked and that she wished they could be more than married strangers, that she wanted to sleep in his bed but the strange feeling in her stomach told her not to. It would be a mistake that would change everything in a bad way. “Jughead, Goodnight.” “Goodnight Betts.” Betty walked back to her room leaving Jughead’s door open. As she climbed into bed she found the warmth of the light from jugheads room made her feel safe. She sighed thinking about Jugheads move at dinner, she thought maybe that was a sign. Now it was back to strangers who happened to live in the same house. Jughead sat his book on his nightstand and turned off the overhead light. He laid staring at the ceiling hoping for a more comfortable future. One where her wouldn't have to say goodnight to the beautiful woman who lived in his house. He could hold til they fall asleep. Dakota made her claim on a mutual spot in between the two bedrooms. She was used to sleeping in bed with Jughead but now that Betty had arrived she wanted to sleep with her too. So she decided to take her place on the floor, an equal distance between Jughead and Betty.
