*Y/N POV*

“What the hell Jug! I just got a text from Sweets saying you turned in a video that has Fangs and Midge hanging out in it. You know the sheriff is looking for her killer so why the fuck would you do that?”

“He fucking deserved it Y/N”

“A Serpent never betrays their own and you fucking betrayed him what’s wrong with you!”

“That goes out the window when he fucking betrayed my sister”

“What?”

“You Y/N he was fucking Midge clear as day!”

“Wait what did you see? How do you know?”

“I walked in on them, Fangs leaning close to her and I walked out he yelled but I didn’t give a shit Y/N cause if I would’ve stayed I would have knocked him out. I asked Archie and he said that they have been really close recently”

“Show me!”

“I don’t have it, remember the Sheriff does”

“You don’t just keep one file Jug, I know you. Show me now!”

“You don’t need to see it”

“Jug I swear to god if you don’t fucking show me this I will wring your neck myself!”

“Fine”

Most people didn’t know that Fangs and you were dating. The only people who really had a clue were Toni, Jughead, your father and a few other people like Reggie and Archie. You tended to keep your private life, well private. You didn’t need people butting into your business. You loved Fangs, he loved you. Dating for years does that to people. You have known Fangs since you were kids, got together at the end of middle school and have been together ever since. There was no way he would do that to you, would he? You knew deep down he wouldn’t but having your brother tell you he did, seeing it. The way the video looked threw you for a loop, but you knew you had to at least let him explain.

You drove to your trailer on your bike, Fangs outside working on his truck standing up as soon as you pulled into the driveway, just like he always did. Anger welled inside you, as soon as he came up you pushed him back. Throwing him off balance you watched him as he fell to the ground. Him not expecting it he fell to the ground.

“What the fuck is wrong with you Fogarty!” He stood up quickly.

“Y/N what the hell are you talking about”

“You Fangs! You, and Midge what am I not good enough? Had to go fuck your costar? A fucking northsider”

“Y/N what are you talking about”

“Oh, you don’t know do you?”

“Know what!”

“Jug turned in a video of you and Midge to the sheriff, has you two standing real close”

“We were running lines!”

“Huh?”

“For the musical Y/N! I wouldn’t cheat on you. I fucking swear to you I would never do that. Why would you even think that I would?”

“But Jug showed me, and, and Archie said he saw you two kiss”

“Need I remind you that Archie has been off his fucking rocker lately, he’s probably just mad he didn’t get the lead and I did. Plus that kiss was part of the scene he would have done with her if he had gotten it, which again he was probably mad that he didn’t. He made shit up babe! I fucking swear I’d never cheat on you, Fuck you gotta believe me”

You watched him turn his hands running through his hair as he kicked his wheel well cursing under his breath as he fell to the ground wrapping his arms around his legs looking up at you. “Please believe me Y/N! I, I can’t lose you not now, not after everything we’ve been through. Think baby, please remember everything the good the bad, we have been through way too much together for me to just throw it all away for some other person. I love you. I fucking love you please” At the end of it he grabbed your hand pleading for you to understand his love for you. But you knew it you always did. You yanked him up burying your head into his chest. Curling into his touch as soon as his arms wrapped around you. And then you heard it the sound of sirens coming down the road.

“No Fangs, they can’t. They can’t take you away from me!”

“Fuck this is all Jug’s fault!”

“Hey he was just trying to protect you, he loves you don’t blame him for this forgive him. Promise me you won’t be too mad at him!”

“I can’t lose you, Fogarty”

“Hey look at me” Tears streaming down your face his hands came to your cheeks wiping them away. “Everything will work out okay, they can’t prove anything. I didn’t even do anything with her”

“I don’t wanna let you go”

“Baby you have to, you can’t go to jail too.”

“I’m gonna get you out!” You watched with fearful eyes as they pulled up instantly getting out of the car Mr. Keller as gently as he could picking you up and away from Fangs as you struggled to get back to him. “Let me down!” in the commotion you got shoved to the ground.

“Stop! Don’t hurt her! she didn’t do anything! It’s gonna be okay baby!” You watched them shove him to the ground, his knife falling out of his pocket. You knew they would charge him with a weapon even though they didn’t even give him the chance to say he had it. As you were being stood up by an officer he was being shoved into a police car “I promise I’ll call you as soon as I can okay. You gotta call your dad tell him everything okay. Call Pea too I want him here with you. I love you, I love you so fucking much” Those were the last words you heard before he was being driven down the road and you were being let go hard enough to fall to the ground again. You finally registered what had happened running your hands over your face you notice the blood trickling down. You called Sweet Pea right away.

“Pea! They took him”

“Y/N slow down what are you talking about?”

“The fucking sheriff they came, they took him, I didn’t get to say goodbye Pea, I couldn’t get any words out”

“Okay, I’ll be there in a second and you can explain everything call Jug and have him call your dad while I’m on my way. I got you okay”

“Okay” You hung up on Pea right away, calling Jug and explaining everything. He told you he would take care of it and you knew you could trust him. But after you hung up you couldn’t even go inside. You barely moved. Couldn’t focus on anything. You were rocking back and forth your anxiety consuming you. You hadn’t even realized that Pea had pulled up.

“Fucking christ Y/N what happened to you”

“I, they…”

“Let’s get you inside first” You let Pea lead you inside as he made you sit on the couch. He disappeared and came back a few seconds later with medical supplies to clean your cuts.

“If they arrested him why are you the one with the cuts?” “I, they wouldn’t let me say goodbye they just stormed the driveway he, he knew he had to go he wasn’t gonna resist but they, they yanked me off him didn’t even tell us to put our hands up or anything, they shoved me to the ground before I could even think Pea”

“I’m sorry they what!”

“I…”

“Lemme clean you up okay? Did you call Jug”

“Yeah, Pea I need to get him out, I need to help him, Jug thought he, he cheated on me but I know he didn’t he wouldn’t”

“That’s why Jug turned it in!”

“He thought he betrayed me, but he was just running lines Pea, he doesn’t deserve to be in there we have to get him out”

“Lemme call Jug and see what’s going on, here” Sweet’s handed you Fang’s favorite flannel stepping out of the trailer to call your brother. You stayed still watching him out the window before he stepped back in.

“So Jug said the sheriff is holding him on a weapons charge, a knife or something”

“He fucking had it on him but they didn’t give him a chance to even say he did! He would’ve told them!”

“I know Y/N but hey the good news is they have no other evidence other than the video of him and Midge which means that they can only hold him until tomorrow night and then we can get him out, sound good”

“Yeah”

“Why don’t you go lay down”

“Alright, are you…”

“I’m not leaving you”

“Thank you”

“No need Y/N, you’re like my sister. Like I said I got you” You went into bed laying down, but of course, sleep wasn’t coming easy. Since even before you and Fangs got together, you two were always falling asleep in each other’s arms. Whether it was during a movie, at the quarry, school it didn’t matter where it was but each others arms became a safe haven for the both of you. Not being near him, not being in his arms meant no sleep. It meant your safety was gone, and with your safety being gone it means no sleep. So you decided on the rational thing. You snuck out into your trailer to see Sweet Pea asleep on the couch not even spread out just sat close to one corner his head falling to the side. You sat taking up the other side but slowly laying your head on his arm

“Can’t sleep?”

“I’m sorry I didn’t…”

“Shhh Y/N I got you, Fangs is gonna be alright I promise”

“Thank you Sweet Pea”

“Anything for my best friends girl”

You slept the best you could. Tossing and turning only a few times during the night. It wasn’t the best sleep you could have had, but at least you got a few hours. You woke up laid out on the couch Sweet Pea out of sight. You rubbed the sleep out of your eyes looking to the table to see a note. Take a shower, went to pops to grab some pancakes for us, we got school so get ready. You stared at the sloppy written note, trying to will yourself to move but failing every time. You gave up slumping into the couch as you pulled out your phone and waited for Sweet Pea to return. Sweet Pea walked through the door twenty minutes later and saw you just staring at a picture of you and Fangs on your phone he came over instantly wrapping you into a hug.

“He’s gonna be okay, I promise”

“I miss him”

“I know Y/N, but you gotta get up he’d be pissed if I let you miss school”

“You’re right”

“Damn right I’m right, now get your ass up”

“I don’t wanna” He walked into your bedroom walking out with one of Fang’s hoodies and a new pair of socks and jeans.

“At least change your clothes so we can get to school”

“Thank you”

“Like I said…”

“Shut up I know ‘I don’t have to thank you’ I get it Pea”

“Good now fucking get dressed”

The only thing motivating you to get dressed was the fact that you’d be picking Fangs up tonight. You knew the sheriff couldn’t hold him, they had no evidence that he had anything to do with Midge’s murder. You figured the day would go by pretty smoothly, simply at the least, but boy were you dead wrong. Walking into school felt like waves crashing into you over and over… Looking around people were either crying, punching there lockers, curling papers and throwing them into trash cans… or the worst writing the words killer spray-painted on Fangs’ locker.

“Pea…”

“You‘re not getting out of my sight today, let’s get your books” Your locker was next to Fangs and that’s when you saw Reggie and a few other bulldogs walk up to it. You tried ignoring them tried grabbing your books to just get out, but that didn’t happen. The shouts towards you started. “Your boyfriend is a killer, I can’t believe your boyfriend fucked Midge and then killed her, why are you with a killer, killer, killer, killer,. He deserves to be dead!” that is the one that got you. Fangs was one of the nicest people you have ever met. Wouldn’t hurt a fly unless it hurt the ones he loved. He would never kill anyone let alone Midge Klump. Hearing these people yelling, saying that he deserves to be dead shook you to your core. You stood still Reggie coming up just to throw a glass of tomato juice onto you. You know it took everything in Sweet Pea’s body for him to not knock him out right then and there. The knots in your stomach tightened as Sweet Pea pulled you down an empty hallway instantly.

“I can’t be here”

“Well duh your kind of soaked”

“This isn’t funny Pea”

“I know I’m sorry just trying to make you laugh, We are going to the Wyrm, Fangs can be mad at me all he wants your missing school”

You waited at the Wyrm the entire day, waited for your father and brother to get in. You needed to know what was going on. Pea had grabbed you some new clothes consisting of a flannel that belonged to Fangs. It was nice that he understood what you were feeling, knew what you needed. Guess that’s what best friends are for.

“You doing okay?”

“That’s a dumb question Pea”

“Y/N I’m serious talk to me”

“No, I’m not okay Pea. My boyfriend, your best friend is stuck in a fucking jail cell with god knows who. I can’t fucking do anything about it because I don’t know what the fuck is going on. We’ve been waiting here for I don’t even know how long for Jughead and my dad. Like fuck, I just want him back” As soon as you ended Jug busted in followed by your father.

“Fangs is getting out tonight”

“What!”

“Just talked to the Sheriff honey they ain’t got nothing to hold on our boy. We’re getting him out but I need you guys to round up everyone”

“Thank you dad”

“Thank your brother”

“Jug…”

“Look I’m sorry I was just trying to pro…” You pulled him into a hug.

“I know Jug, I know. So what’s the plan”

“Well, there is a riot outside of the station. The whole town is pissed, thinks that Fangs is the one who shot Midge I don’t even know how they all found out”

“Anyway, we need to create a human shield around him. We will have a truck parked have Serpents surrounding that. The rest of us will surround Fangs and walk him out. No one will be able to get to him like that. Sound good?”

“I’m in”

“Oh your not coming”

“Jug!”

“Dad…”

“Look Sweetie I know you want him to come home, but you need to stay here. I’m not risking your safety for him!”

“What about his safety dad!”

“Final decision, you are not going. Pea get in the truck, call everyone on the way. Hog eye keep an eye on my daughter”

“This is bullshit”

“Bye sweetie”

“Stay here Y/N. I promise I’ll bring him to you, Bye sis see you in a bit”

“Ugh fine I’ll fucking stay”

“Good”

“Perfect” “Sorry Y/N, I…”

“Just get my man, Pea”

You needed a plan, needed to get out of the bar but knew that hog eye wouldn’t let you that easily. But you also knew Hogeye as a drunk, knew he got sleepy after he got a few drinks in him. He may own the bar but he definitely could not hold his liquor even after all the years of drinking under his belt.

“So, Hogeye…”

“What do you want Jones”

“Well since we’re stuck here, line em up”

“I like how you think darlin, what do ya want me to line up?”

“Only the best…”

“Whiskey?”

“Whiskey! I want 10 lined by the time I get back, I gotta take a piss.”

See you were always like one of the guys growing up. You knew the in and outs of the Serpents way before Jug even did. You were queen after all. You gave Jug the reins for the bit wanting to step back just a little and enjoy the time before you’d be full-fledged leader after highschool. But being the queen for a few years meant you knew everything about every single member in your gang. You knew Sweet Pea was ticklish only under his chin. You knew slash could lock pick any lock in 15 seconds or less. You knew hog eye always took double the shots as everyone else. You also knew that he would never stray from that, always taking double as if it was a need no matter the number. So you knew saying line up the 10 shots he would take 10 before you even got back. See you also knew tonight Hog Eye had been working since the afternoon, you knew he had already been drinking.

So there it was when you got back Hogeye was fast asleep on the chair behind the bar and you got to work. Grabbing the rope from the basement you tied his legs, then laid him on the floor wrapping his hands behind his back before tying everything together.

“Hog eye more like hogtied”

You slipped out the door of the Wyrm, You needed to go help get your man out. Needed to make sure he was safe. So you drove as fast as you could to the station. You paused as soon as you got there parking further down to hide your car. But that didn’t stop you from seeing all the people that were there, all the people that wanted to kill your man. You pushed through the crowd. Pushed and pushed so you could get ahead. You got closer hearing the chant. No Serpent stands alone! You knew you were getting closer. You could see the circle of the Serpents around him. You started towards him more till you saw Reggie walking through the crowd one hand in his pocket. You knew what that meant, had seen it a thousand times before. You watched Archie walk up to him an argument ensuing before you saw Reggie pull a gun, you knew instantly what he wanted. So you ran, ran as fast as your legs would take you till you saw Serpents being ripped away from the circle. But you had access, enough access to be able to push your way in. So you ran faster than you ever had before your arms out.

“Fangs!” You screamed as you shoved him out of the way the gunshot ringing through the air. But all you cared about was the fact that you knew that you had pushed him before the sound went off, so you knew that he was out of the way. You knew he’d be okay.

“Baby!?” You smiled at him, but that is when you felt it the stinging pain. Your knees buckled and you fell right into his arms.

Fangs POV

Y/N wasn’t here and she was all that I wanted. I wanted to see my girl. But when Jug showed up without her and my heart broke I understood. Understood that she couldn’t be here. I heard the shouts of the crowd. I heard the anger from them. I didn’t want her hurt. I wanted her safe just like everyone else did. I didn’t call her, I knew she would come. Knew she would want to be here. I just needed to keep her safe. But I knew I needed to get out of here to see her.

“Let’s get you to your girl Fogarty” Everyone surrounded me the shouts starting. No Serpent Stands Alone! I knew I’d be safe with everyone. Everything was going great till I felt my body being pushed and heard her voice followed by a bang. Y/N!?

“Baby!” I turned around and there she was. She always was fucking stubborn but I loved her for it. I barely got another word out before I saw her knees buckle and felt her fall into my arms. Looking down I saw the red stain growing “No, no, no you told them you wouldn’t come. You promised. You were supposed to stay at the Wyrm. You would have been safe! Fuck Y/N why did you come!? Why would you do that! Fuck you know I could take the bullet myself!”

“Couldn’t let you have all the fun Fogarty”

“Y/N how are you telling jokes right now this isn’t funny”

“Okay… but you thought I would listen, and when do I ever listen. It’s funny you thought I would listen”

“Y/N this isn’t fun though, your fucking bleeding, fuck”

“Well, I’m… I’m, having… a,bla…” You closed your eyes. Humor was the way you dealt with everything. You wanted to play a joke in this moment, needed too.

“No, Y/N open your fucking eyes. You are not leaving me. Baby your gonna be okay we are gonna get you into the truck, okay, Pea is pulling up now it’s gonna be…”

“AHH!”

“Fucking christ Y/N what in the actual fuck is wrong with you, your gonna give me a heart attack, fuck where is Pea!!”

“Fogarty! Jug! Get her into the truck now! I’ll meet you guys there”

“I love you dad”

“Love you too princess, but I’ll see you there okay?”

“Okay dad”

“Baby we are gonna lift you into the truck now okay? Are you ready?”

“Mhm”

I took her shoulders as jug took her legs and Toni supported her bottom, I wanted her into the truck feeling as little pain as possible. Toni hopped in the passenger seat, I had her head on my lap and Jug was applying pressure to the wound. She was okay, she had to be. The ride was pretty quiet, we were all worried about her. I talked to her the whole way she was nodding back not saying much.

“Fangs…”

“Yeah, babe?”

“It hurts”

“Baby I know but you gotta keep those pretty eyes open for me okay”

“I love you…”

First Trimester

Coming home wasn’t bad you moved in with Fangs full time since you had planned to before the accident anyway. He was the sweetest to you, constantly helping. You couldn’t walk alone for a bit. It was tough for the first two weeks you couldn’t stand for longer than 10 minutes at a time due to the pain. The Serpents were being beyond helpful with everything, meals were constantly being brought to your trailer and everyone was spending time with you especially Toni and Sweet Pea. Healing was going pretty well but honestly, the worst part was the nausea. At first, you didn’t have much morning sickness but the second week home you felt like it was all you were doing. Yeah, most people get morning sickness but for you, it was so much worse. The gunshot wound you had was still healing and it was situated right below your bra line. Every time that you would lean over to throw up a massive pain would rip through your entire body. But you didn’t wanna bother Fangs with it and he was quite the heavy sleeper so you didn’t have to. That was until you got up by yourself one morning to go throw up and you bent over to quickly causing one of your stitches to tear, eliciting a loud scream from you. Fangs ran in basically ripping the bathroom door off its hinges before seeing you curled on the floor in a white shirt with a small blood spot forming.

“Baby, baby oh my god what happened”

“I… I don’t know Fangs”

“Baby let me see” He lifted your shirt slowly.

“Okay baby you tore a stitch, it’s gonna be fine okay. I’m gonna carry you to the car and we are going to go to the hospital, okay?”

“I don’t wanna go back Fangs I just got home”

“I know babe, but gotta make sure bub is good okay”

“Fangs what if…”

“No everything's fine just need to fix you up a bit”

“Okay” You tried standing up we're having trouble standing

“C'mere” He helped you stand and walk out to the truck keeping a  towel pressed to your stitches as he drove. “Baby we’re here let’s go in” after going into the doctor told you that you had torn a stitch throwing up. He was going to get you a prescription for anti-nausea meds so the likelihood of you tearing another one would be slim.

“You know babe I told you I didn’t wanna come back here unless it was for the baby”

“Yell well it was, they tore my stitch asshole”

“Already calling our baby an asshole are we?”

“Leave me be Fogarty”

“I just wanna go home and sleep”

“We can babe we can just pick the prescription up from the desk on the way out”

After you scare nothing else was really going on. Your stitches and wound healed flawlessly, your baby was healthy, and you and Fangs were happy as can be. You started having food cravings makings Fangs get up at two in the morning to get you the weirdest combinations but he really didn’t give a damn because he knew it was to make you and the baby happy. You had been spending a lot of time with friends and the other serpents trying to understand what it would be like to mom but everyone was always telling you you’d know when it happened. You would just ‘get it’ whatever that meant. Luckily Pea could keep your mind off of it his goofy self always scheming up some sort of trouble. He was coming over to watch movies with you and Fangs and he was bringing over some pizza. Do you waited so hungry you actually guaranteed Fangs that you would eat your pet pig if Pea didn’t hurry up. He knew you’d never hurt your sweet girl but thought it was funny that you were getting so hungry even though you ate less than an hour beforehand.

“He better hurry the fuck up Fogarty”

“I can’t control him”

“Ugh I'm dying!” and luckily he knocked on the door right then. You got up instantly grabbing the pizza from his hands.

“What I don’t get a hug or hello, or even a thanks for bringing you food”

“M’hungry you took too long jackass. But thank you” you ran up giving him a quick hug before sitting back down in front of the pizza. You saw him take fries out of a bag and then watched as he pulled out a wrapped sandwich.

“Pea if that is a cheesesteak I beg of you not to open it”

“I got a big one figured it’s your fav so we could all share”

“Don’t. Open. It!” But he did, and as soon as the smell hit your nose you were getting up almost tripping before Fangs caught you and ran with you to the bathroom door holding your hair back, Pea coming up behind you.

“What the fuck happened”

“She can’t eat them anymore, makes her sick”

“She just ate one like two weeks ago!”

“Makes her sick now, guess the baby doesn't like it. We went to the pizza shop on main like last weekend and as soon as she smelled one she was in the toilet throwing up we only figured it out cause we ordered one to go cause we figured she just got sick from nausea and when we got home and I opened it she threw up again”

“That’s weird as shit”

“Tell me about it! I’m sorry Pea but could you close it up maybe eat it later”

“Course Y/N”

“Thanks, Pea”

“No problem gotta make sure the little one is happy”

Second Trimester

Your first trimester went along relatively smoothly, yeah for sure you had nausea. Your baby made your life hell with the foods you used to love to eat and now hated, but overall it was pretty easy. Fangs was by your side through all of it and the Serpents for sure helped out a lot.

At the beginning of your second trimester, your baby bump was prominent. You remember the first time fangs saw it like it was yesterday. You were doing stuff around the trailer lazy as can be all day and had thrown on one of his shirts that you always wore. It was tighter than usual but honestly, you really didn’t care that much, you just wanted to be comfortable and you always were in his clothes. When he came home from work you were standing over the stove cooking dinner. He came in through the front door and saw you standing there sideways, and just dropped everything that he was holding. You looked over to him in shock not even hearing him come through the door.

“Babe, you okay?”

“I’m more than okay, oh my god Y/N”

“What?” “Your belly”

“Huh?”

“You haven’t looked in the mirror today, have you? No...”

“Cmon”

“But Fangs the food”

“Turn it off, please”

“Fine” he led you to the bedroom and stood you in front of the mirror slowly lifting the shirt over your belly you had just not paid any attention to recently.

“It looks like you started showing overnight”

“That’s impossible”

“Is it?”

“I don’t know to be honest”

“But I know how it will get bigger”

“How’s that?”

“The food on the stove cause I'm starving and I bet you are too”

“I’m always hungry Fogarty, your baby loves food”

“Just like daddy”

“Oh god now I'm gonna call you daddy”

“Baby you always call me daddy”

“Be good your baby is in here”

“Yeah how do you think it got there”

“You are so bad! Go finish the food”

“Okay princess you pick a movie okay?”

“Okay”

The middle of the second trimester was going smoothly expect you felt kinda gross, you started having a bit of hip pain and you actually kicked Fangs in the balls while sleeping. The doctor wasn’t kidding when she said you'd have leg spasms. You felt so bad after because he shot up in bed in shock and you had no idea you even did it until he yelled out what the fuck was that for and you woke up. Luckily it only happened once though.

The middle is where the bad parts started. You really just wanted to stay home and be left alone and do nothing but Fangs was not letting that happen at all.

“Baby I don’t wanna do anything!”

“Why not”

“Cause I don’t look good I look fat, I can barely see my feet, and I haven't been able to see my vagina or shave my legs in months I am a fucking hairy beast, now leave me the fuck alone”

“I’m not leaving you alone baby, this baby is partially my fault so it is only right that I tame the hairy beast”

“I’m gonna kill you”

“What I think your hair is cute”

“Fangs! Go! Away!”

“I’m! Not! Leaving! You!, Just let me help you!”

“Help me what?”

“I already ran the bath just go get in and I’ll be in, in a sec”

“Fine” You walked in a sat in the warm tub, it felt so nice on your hip and muscles and an instant relaxation hit your body instantly. He walked in shorts on and shirtless as he sat on the edge of the tub carefully grabbing your leg and situating it on the edge of the tub next to him at an angle.

“Fangs what are you doing?”

“Shaving your legs”

“You’re what!”

“Shaving your legs then you can’t be mad for being a hair beast”

“So I am hairy!”

“No, no I just know you wanna be shaven so I figured why not help since you can’t reach”

“It’s so gross though”

“Baby I’m about to watch you push out a baby in a few weeks I highly doubt this is that gross”

“Thank you”

“No need to thank me, baby, like I said I will always be here to help”

“Can you get in the bath with me after”

“Of course”

Towards the end, you were anxiously awaiting your baby shower. You didn’t want to have one but all the Serpents insisted that you needed to considering they have all been there throughout your pregnancy. Fangs sent you on a trip with Toni for a week or two, wanting you to have perfect relaxation before you got into the final run of the pregnancy. You were finally back and were going to meet him at the Wyrm. You walked in expecting nothing only to be surprised by all the Serpents and a bunch of rainbow balloons. You waved everyone hello as Toni handed you a mock mimosa.

“Thanks, T”

“No problem, you happy”

“I guess I just… why is everyone making this big of a fuss about me?”

“Because this is the first serpent baby we’ve had in like 5 years everyone is super excited, not many of these people have a huge family you know that”

“Yeah I guess, do you know where Fangs is?”

“He said he was coming later” You felt a tap on your shoulder to see Fangs behind you.

“Your back”

“I missed you so fucking much Fogarty never send me on a trip again unless you come”

“I’m sorry I just wanted you to have a good time”

“I did but I missed the fuck out of you, guess what?” “Hm?”

“I was playing videos of us cause I missed you, and the baby moved a little when you talked in the video”

“Really?”

“Mhm”

“Maybe tonight I can sing to her”

“I’d like that a lot”

“Hey do you think we should announce the gender”

“Mhm, I have an idea” You remembered seeing the board when you had walked in. The board with tallies on whether it was a boy or girl. So you pulled fangs with you and walked up to the board handing him chalk. As you both led your hands to the board everyone was watching as fangs circled girl and you crossed out boy. You never heard the Whyte Wyrm be so loud before. And as soon is it died down Toni was screaming “Gift Time”. In your opinion, it may have been the best part. Most of the Serpents have their own trade or skill. Some were sewers, some builders, some seamstresses, painters, finishers, chefs, etc. It was nice getting gifts that had just a bit of every one of them. But then came Pea as he came up a giant box wrapped in recycled newspapers. You appreciated the reuse of the paper.

“So I know it won’t work yet but I saw it and I had to buy it”

“Ok…” You opened the box to see a tiny toy motorcycle for your bay to ride. “Pea…”.

“You don’t like it… I know it was crazy I’m sorry I just thought maybe you would and if you're mad I can return it…”

“Stop, I love it”

“You do!”

“You do!” that is all you heard from everyone.

“Of course I do. Motorcycles are a big part of every one of us. This baby is going to grow up seeing them everywhere, so why not let her ride a little toy one. My baby is gonna be a badass and we all know it”

“I’m glad you said that” He handed you a smaller box that when you opened it was filled with a rubber throwing star.

“What is my baby is gonna be a ninja!? No Pea this is where I draw the line”

“Thought so, I’ll just give them to Fogarty to practice his aim”

“Hey! I have perfect aim, hence the bun in the oven”

“Fangs!”

“Ew Fogarty”

“You have one more gift baby” “I do? I don’t see any more”

“It’s not here if you wanna stay we can but your gift is at home”

“Oh okay, I mean it is late and I am kinda tired can we go?” “Yeah of course” You thanked everyone for coming and said goodbye. Fangs then helped you into his truck as he began the drive home. But he was taking a different way than normal.

“Fangs where are you going”

“Do you trust me?”

“Always”

“Then close your eyes for me and you can’t open them until I tell you”

“Uhm okay but you know if you wanted to kill me you should've done it before the bun”

“Your insane now close your eyes baby”

“Okay” So you sat with your eyes closed and slowly felt the rock come to a stop as you heard Fang’s door open and close and then heard yours open.

“Ready”

“Can I open my eyes”

“Not yet” He grabbed your hand leading you out of the truck before you came to a stop. “Okay, now”

“You opened your eyes to see a beautiful single story trailer like home. It was bigger than the RV trailer you were currently in.

“Fangs what…” You looked up to see a Welcome Home banner.

“Welcome home baby”

“What do you mean welcome home…”

“Well FP called, said this trailer was available it has three bedrooms since its super long oh and a living room and kitchen… clearly haha. So I sent you with Toni and Me, Pea and a bunch of the Serpents fixed it up during the week you were gone. I figure we would need more space you know with the baby coming and maybe if we eventually have another baby or a dog or something. I know it’s not a house or anything and I wish I could do more but…” You stepped up to him a hand landing on his cheek.

“Stop it. Don’t you ever and I mean ever apologize that you can’t do enough for us. Everything you do is incredible Fangs. You do so much more than I could even think to ask, and I love you so much for it. I would live in a cardboard box if it meant being with you. The fact that you did this for us I can’t even put into words how much I love you Fangs”

“I love you so much baby” Tears were flowing as he dragged you into the trailer. The trailer looked brand new.

“Fangs this is…”

“Do you not like it, we can change the color if…”

“No Fangs, this is beautiful”

“Oh thank god, do you wanna see the nursery”

“Mhm,” He led you to a room down the hallway after showing you your master in and of itself was freaking beautiful. Nicer than any room you ever had in your life. You could tell how careful he was at matching the colors, how well he listened to the things you liked. He opened the door to the nursery to reveal a perfectly sized room. It was beautiful, there was a chair for you to sit, the walls were paneled with tea, black and white paint as well as brown wood. And then you looked to the center to see a very unique crib, it was round something you had never seen. But what hit you the most was the fact and that you and fangs hadn’t really talked much about the nursery in the past few months. But the fact that he remembered the one time you had said you wouldn’t wanna make your baby girls room pink if you ever had a girl hit a nerve in you. The fact that he remembered that one small detail made your heart swell.

“Fangs… I love it”

“Oh thank god I’m so glad I didn’t know and everyone was telling me to do pink but I know you said you wouldn’t wanna force pink or blue on a child wanting them to grow up how they wanted and so I told everyone you’d love it this way and im so glad you do”

“I love it so much it’s honestly perfect and I love this crib it’s so unique”

“Yeah, I uh couldn’t find one to fit in here that I liked and I didn't want it anchored on a wall cause the room looked smaller, anyway Lynae came in”

“Pea’s aunt?”

“Mhm, anyway she came in cause she wanted to see the teal to get Andi to make the pillows for the chair and saw that I still needed one and told me not to buy one. A few days later, this was on the porch with a note saying she made it and everything. I already thanked her don’t worry. But yeah I never would have thought a round crib”

“It’s beautiful”

“Oh and toni picked up some of the decorations, and Pea apparently helped pick out the fabrics for the curtains and stuff”

“No way”

“Mhm”

“Wow”

“Baby…”

“Yeah?” “Are you happy?”

“Of course I am why?”

“I just… I know it’s all so fast ya know. Like you get shot found out were having a baby and then we move in together and then I get us this bigger trailer and… I don’t know I just wanna make sure your happy”

“We practically lived together anyway Fangs, and regardless no matter where we are I always wanna be with you, because where I am doesn’t matter because when I am with you I’m happy”

“I love the both of you so fucking much”

Third Trimester

The third trimester was going along quite smoothly in a way it was the easiest part of your pregnancy even though you felt like every time you walked you were carrying a bag of bricks. But Fangs was helping out with everything and being the sweetest as possible so you couldn’t really complain.

The beginning of your third trimester went along quite well. The first time Fangs really felt and saw the baby move. It was incredible. You were at the Wyrm most of the day before coming home to go to bed. You hadn’t eaten much for some reason you were super nauseous during the day so as you were laying in bed Fang’s hand on your belly he felt your stomach move a little.

“Is mama hungry?”

“Huh?

“You hungry baby”

“Not really.. Stomach still hurts a… OW”

“Holy shit!” he was watching your stomach, completely saw the foot that had just kicked you. “I saw it Y/N, I saw her foot!”

“Yeah and I felt it jesus christ it’s like shes a god damn kick boxer”

“Oh, baby are you okay?” “Yeah, yeah I’m good” He laid his head next to your belly before slowly singing a song to your almost grown bean. She was moving slightly at the sound of his voice and eventually stilled. To you, it was almost as if she had fallen asleep.

At the middle of your third trimester, you had decided to go to the mall by yourself. You needed to pick up a birthday gift for Toni. However, it didn’t go to plan because as you were walking through the mall you heard a baby cry, and then after you were walking towards the store you kept seeing people looking at your breasts. You felt very uncomfortable so you went to the bathroom to see if there was something on your shirt and of course something you didn’t expect to happen did. Your breasts leaked because of the baby you heard crying like motherly instinct or some bullshit you didn’t care. You were upset and pissed off. You had Fangs drop you off at the mall saying you needed alone time so you called him to pick you up and he did instantly.

“Baby are you ok…”

“No Fangs I’m not do you see my shirt!, Just bring me home!”

“I brought you one of mine you can slip on if you want”

“Thanks” He eventually pulled up to your home as you waddled your way inside you saw Pea sitting on the couch. “Ugh!” You ran to your bedroom laying flat back against the bed and stared up at the ceiling.

“Baby cmon talk to me, what happened?”

“No Fangs it’s embarrassing”

“Baby I've been with you for a while through thick and thin I don’t think anything you do could be that embarrassing to me”

“My boobs leaked okay”

“What do you mean”

“I don’t know Fangs I just got Toni’s gift and I was gonna walk around and shop some more but then I heard a baby cry and all these people started looking at me so I went into the bathroom and my fuckingshirt had wet spots on it. I think I leaked” He walked over instantly placing his hands onto your cheeks.

“Baby that isn’t embarrassing at all that is your body telling you that you are ready for this abby. Your body saying that you are ready to protect your own child and provide them with what they need”

“But baby It was so embarrassing”

“Yeah well I don’t think those people should have been staring it is a natural thing that happens, how bout I go put a few extra shirts in the car and one in your backpack that way if it happens again you’ll have clothes”

“That would be good thankyou baby”

“Course”

You waddled out to the living room to see Pea sitting on the couch. “Hey pea”

“Hey Y/N you okay”

“Yeah Fangs made it better I was having a moment”

“Ahh hormones”

“We don’t have to talk about this Pea”

“No it’s okay I wantto how has everything been since…”

“Oh my god the fight yeah my hormones were raging that night, but that guy deserved it who the fuck parks behind someones truck so they can’t get out and then he hit your bike! I don’t know why Fangs was so mad”

“Y/N I get where your coming from like you had every right to be pissed Iget that however, you are very pregnant. You’re what 28 weeks…”

“30”

“Okay 30 weeks and you literally punched a guy in the face!”

“Yeah and I knocked his ass out cold”

“You did which I’m impressed but… if you didn’t and he came at you, you could’ve been hurt he was just trying to be protective”

“I know”

“You guys talking about me”

“Hey babe”

“Always Fogarty, I’m the only one she complains to”

“Good to know”

“I’ll be right back guys gotta Pee” You got up waddling to the bathroom but before you shut the door you heard Pea

“Hahaha look at her waddle”

“You do realize she can kill you and get away with it, right?”

“Okay your not wrong”

“Sweet Pea! I heard that! Don’t forget what I did to the guy at the Wyrm!”

“Couldn’t dream of it now go pee before you pee yourself”

“Okay, that was one time!”

“Yeah on my carpet!”

“Ugh”

However,  the end of the third trimester came and you were miserable. It felt like your back was breaking your hips were tearing out of your body and you for some reason had headaches almost all the time. You were more than ready to get this baby out of you. You were at the Wyrm, knowing that in a month you most likely wouldn't be for a little while considering you’d have a newborn. You were hanging out with everyone and it was going pretty smooth. Fangs was talking to Pea and you to Toni.

“So how has everything been”

“Good it’s just getting tougher ya know like I feel like I should be used to it but walking is a chore, and the cravings ughh all I want is mac n cheese all the time. But oh my god the other day I had Fangs give me Pasta literally I didn’t want it cooked like he cooked it but then it wasn’t appetizing I literally just wanted to eat hard pasta”

“That’s weird”

“Tell me about it, but I mean it’s been good I’m just ready for her to come out” Your jaw clenches as you felt a cramp run through your lower stomach.

“Fangs is going to be running around like a chicken with his head cut off when that happens” You laughed slightly before instinctively grabbing onto your stomach with a wince on your face. “Babe you okay”

“Yeah I’m fine T just like a tightness right here” You grabbed her hand placing it onto your lower belly “it’s fine though I’m… fuck that hurts” “Are you in labor”

“I… it’s too early, I don’t know get Fangs!” He ran up quickly Pea following and everyone looking as he grabbed your hand “Fang’s I don’t know what’s going on it’s like a cramp”

“Oh my god, your having contractions we need to go the hospital now, fuck fuck the baby is coming to early oh my god we need to go come on get up baby…”

“Fangs chill”

“Pea Your telling me to chill when my girl is in LABOR. L. A. B. O. R. I need to get her to a…”

“Just stop, Y/N how bad are they, are they consistent”

“Just feels kinda crampy, not unbearable not to bad, and not consistent at all”

“It’s braxton hicks”

“It’s what now?”

“Braxton hicks, it’s like the bodies way of getting you ready it’s like false labor pains but they are more crampy then like a real pain” “How do you…” “Pea… how do you know this”

“I looked it up Fogarty, I mean Y/N your my best friend aside from this doofus I figured I should know some stuff cause if he’s not with you I am”

‘Okay well can you tell me how to stop them Pea cause they're real uncomfortable”

“Yeah, T can you grab her some warm tea or somethin”

“Yeah of course be right back”

“There isn’t really a cure for them but if the tea doesn’t work on the ride home Fangs can run you warm bath okay?”

“Thanks, Pea”

“No problem”

Now it was time to give birth you were so ready. You had one of the Serpents coming over who was a trained doula for years she had helped the Serpents give birth since everyone hated hospitals so much, Fangs, Toni and Pea were going to be with you and everything was on track, until it wasn’t. You water didn’t break on your due date. 10 days past his due date. 5 days ago you thought labor was starting but it didn’t. You woke up at 3 your water broke you felt the wetness of the bed and you thought it was go time, you were ready for it to be go time. You woke up Fangs the pains were not too bad to start it it was painful but not unbearable. He called everyone to the house. Fangs, Toni, Pea, and Vani your doula. The pain got worse. You were going through what was called back labor. Your baby girl wasn’t facing the right way which meant her spine was along your spine and it caused major pain, pain that you couldn’t even begin to describe. Fangs was holding your hand the whole time. It wasn’t like what they told you to be prepared for. You were prepared for stomach pain, and stomach cramps but no your back was spazzing and the pain was radiating through your entire spine. It was ungodly, worse than the pains of being shot in all honesty.

“I wish I could take some of the pain princess”

“I know Fangs, but ya can’t so it is what it is babe” He looked sad, one thing Fangs always hated was seeing you in pain. “sorry, that was rude” 

“It’s okay you get a free pass”

It was 7 ½ of back labour and you had no relief. It wasn’t like what they told you at all. Usually you would have a contraction and then be able to rest, but since you were in back labor you had no period of rest. Your back and body was in so much pain that it was getting so hard to focus on anything. Fangs eventually led you to the bath since a hot compress was relieving your back slightly he thought the water would help. See the plan was that Fangs was going to stay out of the water just incase something had to happen. But after he heard your screams of pain, the almost grunting he couldn’t just stand next to you. He had to be with you, touching you helping you. Between kisses and the whispers of “I love you’s” and “your doing so good mama”, you were feeling a slight bit of relief in the bath with him the hot water running along your back. See you should have been giving birth by now, your body was shaking which is usually to tell you your getting close but after another 40 mins, you were not. So your doula was saying it was time to go to the hospital.

“I don’t wanna go Fangs” You started sobbing, a gentle cry a mix of the pain and the sadness of not being able to do this the way you wanted. It was a cry that that broke Fangs’s heart. He wanted to be able to hold his daughter, wanted to be able to see her and wanted to be a father to her more than anything, but even with all that he never realised how much pain it would cause you.

“Hey it’s gonna be okay, we are all here, we are all gonna stay with you okay, we are just gonna go and your gonna push our little girl out there okay”

“Okay” You both got dressed. The car ride was like torture so much so you amde Fangs pull over after every bump. You got there and everything was fine you were sitting in the bed and the doctor checked you. The pains making you wanna scream, but then everything took a turn. Your doctor informed you that you were only 3cm dilated, after 24 hours of labor you should have been much further along. Since you water had been broken for 24 hours your doctor informed you about the clock ticking down. Your baby needs to come out before infection set in. You wanted to do it naturally and you were deathly afraid of needles, but you had to. For your baby to be safe you were started on pitocin and needed to get an epidural, but yous started freaking out.

“Fangs I can’t”

“You have to”

“Pea!”

“Y/N I know, you’ve been afraid of needles since we were kids but you gotta do it okay? This baby needs you to it, and we are all right here we won’t let them make us leave you are in charge here”

“Baby look at me. I know how scared you are but I’m gonna hold your hand the whole time okay, and we gotta get our girl out okay”

“Okay, I can do this” Luckily after the epidural the pain subsided enough for you to rest for just a bit, Fangs next to the bed rubbing his hand along your side.

But then the doctor came in to check you again after 35 hours of labour you were only 3.8 cm dilated meaning that something drastic needed to happen. But you knew she wasn’t progressing you almost felt it, you knew she wasn’t gonna come out and you were starting to not feel good at all you needed her out and you knew she needed to come out. And then the worst thing you heard, you needed to have a c-section. You knew the risks it’s why you chose home birth in the first place. You didn’t want all the medicine you thought you were strong enough to do it on your own.

“I wanted to do it Fangs”

“I know baby, but this isn’t your fault you know that, she’s just being difficult like her mama. And I'm not leaving you okay? They are bringing me scrubs right now I am going to be right there with you okay?”

“Promise”

“Nothing will make me leave you in there okay”

You got wheeled in and numbed You couldn’t see anything due to the cover but then you saw it. Your daughter being lifted up. You saw her she was born out o you and after a few seconds, they placed her onto your chest. She was finally here, and you felt the biggest since of relief, as one of Fang’s hands laid on your cheek and the other on her head. And you heard the quiet sobs coming from him almost louder than your own. You handed her to him as he held her close to your face and they finished stitching you up.

“She’s here baby you did it”

“We did it Fangs” You saw the tears welling in his as he looked at his newborn daughter and you, his girl who was so strong through it all. “baby are you crying”

“Of course I’m crying”

“I love you”

“I love you too, I love both of you so damn much”

40 hours total was your birth story. 40 hours of waiting for your baby girl and she was finally here. Finally ready to be in a family of love and care, and you were so ready to bring her to meet her amazing, dysfunctional family.

Yes having a baby was the highlight of your day, but the highlight the next morning was when you woke up.

“Is she okay!”

“Sir are you family”

“We are all family” FP stood in front of the doctor then.

“Well good news, no great news. They are both going to be just fine the bullet missed many…”

“Wait… huh?” Did I hear what he said correctly? Did he say both? There is no way… well I mean there is, however… she would've told me. “Uhm doc you said both…?”

“Yes, both Miss Jones and the baby are doing great. Vitals are great and they are both very healthy”

“Oh my god”

“Are you alright sir” My face fell, I was gonna be a dad. How did I not know I was gonna be a dad.

“You knocked up my daughter!”

“Sir I need you to stop yelling or you will be escorted out of the hospital”

“Let’s take a walk dad”

“I’m gonna be a dad…”

“Oh your the father congratulations”

“Thank you… uhm are you sure everything is alright with the baby I don’t think Y/N knows yet”

“Well we checked on both her and the child as far as it looks like everything is great, I can give you a name of a few doctors she can choose from for further check ups if you would like”

“That would be great thank you”

“Well sir again congratulations and if you would like to go visit her she is in room 124. She should be awake by now I will be in soon to let you guys know everything. I would like her to stay the night for observation though” The doc left but I stood still.

“Fogarty you good”

“No how am I gonna do this Pea?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m gonna be a dad, Pea. I… I don’t even have a dad how the fuck am I gonna do this. How am I gonna fucking raise a child? I can’t raise a child!”

“Look at me. Your having a baby with Y/N the girl who you say is the life of your life. Fuck not having a dad in your own life. Your gonna be a great dad, you know why Fogarty? Your gonna be a great dad cause your gonna be better than your own and your already a step ahead cause you haven't left yet”

“What if…”

“No stop with the fuckin what if’s it ain't gonna be rainbows and unicorns… well maybe if you have a girl but you get my point. It may not be easy but you guys are gonna be fine. You have each other, fuck you have an entire family standing in this room right now that are gonna be there for both of you. I’m here for you and I’m here for her okay, you’re not alone in this”

“Thank you Pea”

“Oh shut up you know you don’t need to thank me. Now go get your girls Fogarty”

“Girls we don’t…”

“Oh that’s my guess you gonna have a mini Y/N running around”

“Save me now”

“Go you idiot” It was time to see my girl, and meet my baby for the first time. Well, not meet but see. No not see touch, I don’t...  first time to be in the presence of my baby. I had to tell her because she didn’t even know yet.

*Knocks* Y/N POV

“Come in”

“Hi baby, how you feeling”

“I’m okay now they gave me some more medicine for the pain”

“I thought I lost you…”

“Fangs!” You couldn’t hold the tears in.

“Hey, hey I’m right here no need to cry baby it’s okay, your okay now” You watched as he brought your hands to his lips and felt tears slipping out of his eyes.

“Well if I’m not allowed to cry you’re not allowed either”

“Hey I deserve to cry, my worst nightmare came true when I thought I was gonna lose you. Fuck I thought you were gone. Why would you do that!”

“What like I wanted to get shot”

“No but why did you push me out of the way, I should be in here not you not…”

“I’m sorry okay I barely had time to think after I saw the gun, but you know I don’t regret it for one second. The doc said that if I had been over even a tiny bit more it would have hit a major artery. So you know maybe me pushing you out of the way was the better thing because I couldn’t handle you dying Fangs. I need you now more than ever. I'm sorry I put our baby in danger though I didn’t know. I’m already risking her life how am I gonna fucking do this” You put your baby in danger. Yeah, you may not have had any idea that you were pregnant, but you could’ve killed her with that gunshot. You felt like you were gonna be a terrible mother. You had nothing to go off of. Your mother left you years ago when you and Jug were around 3 years old.

“Hey you are going to be a great mother Y/N”

“But I have nothing to go off of Fangs, fuck I never had a mom how will I…”

“I said the same things earlier”

“Hey! I love your mother”

“No, no about my dad baby”

“Fangs… your way better than him”

“I know that now. Pea kinda stopped me from freaking out but he said something important. He said You have each other, fuck you have an entire family standing in this room right now that are gonna be there for both of you. And he’s right we have an entire family backing us. Hell even if we didn’t there is no one I’d rather be having a baby with”

“Fangs we’re so young though how are we gonna do this!”

“I don’t know but we will figure it out”

“Fangs I get if you wanna leave this shouldn’t be your problem I should've been more careful”

“I’m not going anywhere. Plus it kinda is my fault… ya know. We made a baby together so that is kinda like 50% my fault”

“You're a dork”

“Oh I know, A dork that fucking loves you and this child till the end of time. I am so happy to be having a baby with you Y/N. I mean I am scared shitless but I am so fucking happy” He leaned in slowly placing his hand on your stomach as he brought his lips to your own.

“Fangs can you come lay with me… miss you”

“I’m right here baby. I don’t wanna hurt you”

“Please” You scooted over slightly and he took his boots off and laid his jacket over the chair before climbing into the bed. “Thank you”

“I’m just here to please my queen”

“Shut up”

“I love you”

“I love you too” You laid your head on his chest.

“I’ll be right here when you wake up, not gonna move okay”

“Okay” You slowly drifted to sleep. With him everything was calm. You could always sleep in his arms no matter the situation. He was warm, comfortable. He was home.

*knock*

You slept for about a half-hour cuddled into the chest of Fangs. You slowly drifting into consciousness recognizing the sounds of your father and brother talking to Fangs, but you wanted to hear what they had to say so you pretended to be asleep.

“How is my baby?”

“She’s doing okay, she was in a little pain but they gave her more medicine for it. I think that’s why she fell asleep”

“It’s weird not having my sister up and yelling”

“She only yells cause she cares”

“I know”

“Look FP, Jug I am so sorry”

“No boy, stop. I’m sorry I never should have blamed you for her getting shot. It was her choice, hell I would’ve done it if it was her in your position too. Hell, we all would’ve done it so I get it. I understand her choice. I mean I’d rather her not have done it but still, I’m not upset with you, I’m not upset with her”

“Fangs, I’m sorry for turning in that tape to the sheriff. I just, I thought you had cheated and I was so mad. She’s just my sis you know and I got a step ahead of myself”

“It’s fine. You just wanted to protect her, I get it. I feel the same way. I would do anything to protect her. Hell I would’ve probably done the same thing”

“You really love her huh?”

“She’s my everything Jug. With her, nothing can go wrong. We could be sitting there doing nothing just being in her company makes me undeniably happy and now, now I have this little bean growing inside of her that’s half mine and somehow I love her even more if that is even possible”

“Fogarty… look boy I’m sorry I got over my head earlier when the doc told us. I was so shocked. Their mom and I were so young when we had them I didn’t want that life for her, but ya know you're a better man than I was and I know you're going to be there. I just wanna say sorry for getting pissed and sorry for yell…” He yelled at your man. The one thing you always tell him not to do since the first time he did it.

“I’m sorry dad you what!”

“Oh hi, baby glad your awake uhm…”

“Dad I swear to god if I could get up out of this bed quick enough I…”

“I know baby I already apologized, I’m sorry. We were all kinda shocked with the whole you getting shot and then the whole baby thing it was just a lot. I am glad you're okay I don’t know what I would’ve done” See the thing with your father was it was not often that he cried. But you saw the tears in his eyes.

“Dad… hey come here give me a hug, I’m okay”

“I know I just”

“No, we are not thinking about that. I am fine and that is all that matters. Your grandchild and I are fine we don’t need to think about the what if’s”

“Okay, hey ima head home do you need anything?”

“No, I’m okay dad thankyou”

“Bye sis”

“Bye Juggy” You watched as they closed the door. You instantly snuggled back into Fang’s chest.

“Wanna go home Fangs”

“Doc said you gotta stay till tomorrow morning baby, he wants to make sure everything is good with you two”

“Well, then you should go home and get some sleep babe, just pick me up tomorrow” He started laughing and you didn’t understand why. “Uhm…”

“Your funny Jones”

“What are you talking about?”

“Go home… are you insane? Oh, sweet girl, you ain’t getting out of my sight. I told you I would be here when you wake up. I’m not leaving”

“What if they kick you out”

“I’ll hide in the closet”

“You are insane”

“I know… now get some sleep baby and tomorrow we can go home okay, promise”

“I love you Fogarty” with a kiss to the top of your head you slowly drifted to sleep. You woke up the next morning to kissed on your forehead and a hand rubbing circle along your stomach.

“Hi baby”

“Hi sweet girl”

“I love seeing you open your eyes thought I would never…”

“Stop”

“I’m sorry”

“I know it was hard Fangs, I get what I did was hard for everyone, just wanna forget”

“Okay baby, hey the doc came in said you can go if your feeling alright. I had Pea grab us clothes so if you wanna get dressed we can head out”

“I’m fine not too much pain, I just wanna go home”

“Okay, can you let go so I can get up?”

“But you're so warm”

“Okay I know but… we can be warm in our own bed if you let me take you home”

“Okay”

“He stood up grabbing the duffel and placing it on the bed. You stood up Fangs helping you as you gabbed the clothes from him. You took your pants of but leaning down hurt a bit.

“Fangs…” “You okay?”

“This is embarrassing”

“What is?”

“Need help getting dressed, it hurts a bit. But nevermind I can do it”

“No, I’m right here, I wanna help. Baby that isn’t embarrassing” He began helping you step into the clothes. “Imagine in a few months you’ll be in the same boat won’t even be able to tie your own shoes”

“Oh no…” You looked down in embarrassment.

“Hey, hey but don’t worry I'll  be right here just like I am now”

“I know babe”

“Alright, you good to go?”

“Mhm,” He grabbed your arm helping you walk out of the room.

“Say goodbye to the hospital baby because we are not ever stepping foot back in here for you unless it’s for that little bean growing in your stomach got it” You were signing the paperwork to check out when Fangs turned to the nurse “You know the next time we are here she’s gonna be having our baby” You laughed at his antics. He could always make you laugh no matter what. He was so happy, you saw the light in his eyes when he talked about the little bean you were carrying. His little bean.

“We’re here” Jug and I grabbed her in our arms carrying her in screaming for someone to help but no one was moving. “Someone help us!” Jug had me support her as he grabbed a nurse.

“We have a female with a gunshot wound please help her, please” The nurse just shook her head before a doctor barged out.

“What is going on?”

“My girl got shot, sir please help her, please you gotta”

“Get me a gurney now!” I tried following them back but was stopped by the doctor.

“Son you can’t come back here I’m sorry, wait out front”

“I need her! I can’t let her be by herself”

“If you need her, then let me help her!”

“Take care of her!”

The doctor disappeared behind the doors, my last glance at Y/N was her eyes closed on the gurney. Fuck what I would give to be able to see her eyes again. I just stood there before Pea came over grabbing my arm and leading me to a chair next to Toni. Jones nowhere in sight. I sat on the chair not able to move. All I wanted was for her to be okay, to see her eyes again, see her again. I didn’t even realize what was going on until I felt my back slam against a wall. Jughead grabbed me up out of the chair shoving me into the wall. I didn’t say anything, he was angry I knew that. He was pissed and he had a right to be it was all my fault.

“I fucking told her to stay home, told her to fucking wait and that I would bring you to her but no of course not. Fuck Fangs why would you let her do that. She just had to fucking come and see you, had to push you out of the way of that stupid fucking bullet. That should be you back there not her!”

“Let him go Jug, he didn’t do anything”

FP ran in then.

“Where is she! Where’s my daughter?”

“She’s in surgery dad” Jughead had me held up as FP began yelling in my face as well.

“Is she gonna make it? What did they say?”

“I don’t know, they just took her back”

“This is your fault Fogarty, why the fuck would you let her push you”

I stayed silent, my eyes glossed over with tears about to spill.

“I told you to protect her! The one fucking thing I asked of you when it came to my baby girl and you fucking failed. Failed Fogarty and now she’s back there fighting for her god damn life.”

Jughead pressed me harder against the wall. “If she dies Fangs. I’ll fucking end you.”

“I…” Sweet Pea came over shoving them off of me.

“Cool it, Jones, let him down”

“Need I remind you I am your leader Sweet Pea!”

“Fuck off Jones, get off your leader bullshit for one minute. Fucking think for one second. Your daughter and your sister is back there fighting for her life because she stepped in front of Fangs. You standing here yelling at Fangs isn’t gonna change that she is back there fighting! Yeah, maybe it wasn’t her best decision but she did it because she loves him. Because she cares about him more than anything else in this world. So maybe you both need to go take a walk or something. You need to let him down don’t you see he is hurting just as much as you, he’s just letting you yell at him taking all your hits because he doesn’t care about anything but being able to see Y/N again. I don’t really give a shit what you do but stop fucking yelling at him for no reason because it’s stupid to blame anyone here but Mantle who had the gun, which by the way anyone know where he is?!” Jughead let me down right then as FP grabbed his shoulder walking out of the hospital. As soon as he let me go I fell to my knees. I couldn’t hold it in anymore, tears came down full force. Usually, I wouldn’t cry but right here right now I didn’t care at all. I looked up to Pea who had kneeled in front of me.

“What if she… what if she’s gone because of me. It’s my fault, Pea. What if…”

“Stop with the what if’s Fogarty you know how fucking strong she is. Think about it, she is basically indestructible. Hell think about when we met her”

“Your right Pea. Fuck she was such a badass.”

“Yeah, I remember you were flirting with her but she poured the milkshake on you and told you that you were thirsty. Oh my god, I remember it like it was yesterday. She wanted to fucking smack you when you said you wouldn’t have been able to drink it anyway cause your lactose intolerant”

“ Oh yeah I forgot about that part”

“She was pissed”

“I know I thought she was about to throw mine on you two, but remember she just took it cause she wasted hers on you. Said she deserved it”

“She always says she loves your smart ass comments, guess that’s why you guys fit so well. She has the same exact ones makes me wanna pull my hair out”

“Pea, Oh my god remember the time that dude smacked her ass and she put him into a chokehold and basically body-slammed him. That dude was like twice her size ahha”

“Yeah and we were standing to the side and you wanted to take care of him for touching your girl”

“Dude I was pissed wanted to shove him across the room but she beat me to it”

“I thought she was just gonna smack him across the face or something, but nope she really went there. No guys mess with her now!”

“I remember our first date too fuck remember I called you freaking out, I screwed it up so bad but she didn’t care”

“What when you caught the pasta on fire?”

“Look I don’t know what happened”

“I do, you forgot the water, you know the one thing pasta needs to cook and uhm I don’t know not burn!”

“I was nervous!”

“Wasn’t she talking to Toni when she pulled up”

“Yeah Toni tells me about it all the time, I’ll never live it down. She pulled up when the stove was on fire and saw me trying to put it out through the window, she rushed in and fixed everything up. She started eating the hard pasta just to make me feel good. Turns out she actually likes chewing on hard pasta. But anyway we went to Pops after though and it was all good. But she did make me drink a few sips of her milkshake cause she ‘wanted me to try how good it was’ and I regretted that instantly”

“Oh yeah you kicked her out of your trailer after bringing her back cause of your terrible gas, haha she called me and asked if you had some condition or something!”

“Wait she what!”

“Oh, I wasn’t supposed to tell you that… oops”

“We have been dating for years and you haven’t told me that she thought I had some farting disorder!”

“She promised me to secrecy Fogarty”

“Jesus Christ”

“She fixed everything that night, she always does. With her, it’s like nothing can go wrong. Even if I’m in the worst mood everything turns up when I see her. Literally, with her everything is right. Fuck Pea… I can’t lose her. I won’t”

“She’s gonna be fine she always is. Plus she wouldn’t leave me here to deal with your ass alone. Now go sit down I'm gonna grab you some food”

“Thanks” FP and Jughead came back in as Pea sat down and handed me a sandwich.

“Any word yet?”

“No”

“Fuck” Fp slammed his fist into the wall

“She’s gonna be okay I know it”

“You know nothing Fogarty!”

“No shit FP, I know nothing because none of us have heard anything and we have been here all night. I haven’t moved a fucking muscle. Look FP I love her just as much as you do. She is my fucking everything okay. I would do anything. Don’t you think if I could be the one in there right now I would be! She is my life, my world. I… fuck I need her back as much as you do… I need her”

“Look I’m sorry Fogarty I just… she’s my baby girl, my everything too. I don’t wanna lose her either. Fuck if she knew I yelled at you she would be wringing my neck right now, fuck I’d give anything for that to happen right now”

“She’s gonna be okay”

“You don…”

“I may not know for sure, I may not know what is going on. But Y/N is a fucking fighter you know that more than anyone. Who was there with Jug when you went downhill FP. Who stayed and had your back that entire time even though her father was slowly slipping away. Who took care of the Serpents why you were going through all that shit. Fuck who took care of Peabody! Y/N is the strongest person I have met in my entire life. She will get through this. I know it”

“But you don’t know that Fogarty I could lose my daughter!”

“Yeah and I could lose the one person who means the most to me in the world so I guess we're in the same boat FP”

“Both of you need to stop. She wouldn’t want you fighting. Fuck I could lose my sister, Pea could lose his best friend. The serpents lose their family, but we won’t because she is strong as hell we all know that. She is going to be okay”

“People for Y/N Jones” The doctor came out then I stood right up along with everyone else.

Fangs walked behind Sweet Pea and Toni a full cup in his hand as they weaved through one of Cheryl’s many parties. The same shit every time. The same couples standing against the wall making out, the same singles grinding on the dancefloor trying to get “the one” to go upstairs in the many rooms of the mansion. Fangs followed blindly behind his two friends until they both would inevitably go their separate ways. Sweet Pea would try to talk to as many girls as he could until one would fall for his sly smile and bad boy charm, while Toni would head over to Cheryl and wouldn’t be seen until later the next day leaving him alone once again. Fangs smiled as he watched exactly that happen, waving his friends off promising them that he would be fine on his own. He stood against the wall just watching as he rolled his eyes at his surroundings, he was over these things and it was only their Junior year. He lifted his cup up to his lips, stopping as he watched you walk in with some vixens and Reggie Mantle. He scoffed quietly to himself. Of course, Reggie Mantle would show up with you. The perfect girl of Riverdale...according to Fangs at least. You were strikingly beautiful, every time he looked at you he forgot how to breathe, not only that but you were kind. The merge was a difficult process for everyone and most of the Riverdale High students were against them, it seemed anything they did was wrong in their eyes, except for a handful of people but his favorite was you. He watched in awe as you put Reggie and Cheryl both in their place as they stood on top of the stairs after walking into the tense hallway that morning. You had made them both apologize and Fangs had fallen for you then and there.

Fangs tipped his cup back as he drank the liquid courage in front of him preparing for you as you made your way over to him. You shared a few classes together and had always talked to him at these things.

“Hey Fangs” You smiled at him shyly.

“Hey Y/N...came with Mantle huh?”

He watched as you rolled your eyes. “Yeah, he broke me down after weeks and weeks of asking.”

“You are way too nice sometimes.”

“I get told that a lot actually” You giggled, making Fangs’ heart swell. “I am so over these things”

Fangs looked around surprised at your words. “The parties?”

You nodded. “I mean it’s not even halfway through the year and we’ve been to like ten of them.”

Fangs took a deep breath. This was his chance, the alcohol coursing through his veins helping him say the words to you. “You and me could leave right now…” He looked over to the group you had come in with, one of the vixens leaned against the wall as Reggie trapped them in, both arms on either side. Fangs tried to distract you before you looked back but failed. Your eyes watered slightly as you looked back to him. Fangs cleared his throat, wanting to get you out of here. “We can ditch all your friends, ditch Mantle… if you wanted”

“Seems like he doesn’t even notice I'm gone” all Fangs wanted to say was I'd notice but he didn’t want to push too fast. You looked to Fangs for approval, you didn’t even want to be there.  “The two of us could disappear?” You didn’t mean to phrase it as a question, but did he want to disappear, it was like your mind needed to know.

“The dirt road by SweetWater? That’s neutral territory… just say the word and we’ll get out of here” Fangs trailed off.

“I don’t know Fangs….”

“If not, I get it.” He did get it, he understood your two worlds never worked, and he was damn willing to try if you wanted him to. But he didn’t know what you wanted. He looked from you to Reggie and the Northsiders and then back to you a coy smile on your face. How was he being so brave right now? He could barely get three words out to you yesterday. “But the way your smiling at me tells me a different story”

“Oh yeah and what’s that” A smirk appeared on his lips as you watched his fingers dance around the brim of his cup.

“That you really don’t want to be here, and remember just say the word and we can be outta here”

“You and me could leave right now?” You asked repeating his question, your eyes flickered from his eyes to his lips as you stuck your tongue out wetting your own, you bit the bottom of your lip. What was he doing to you?

Fangs smirked as he watched you try to look at his eyes and not his lips. He leaned in close your lips inches apart just for a moment before you felt his breath tickling your ear. You held your breath at his next words. “One kiss, could just try it.” He paused leaning away from you, disappointment running through you. “You never know you just might like it.” He winked.

You looked back to Reggie and the girls before looking back at Fangs. “You and me could leave right now? No questions asked, no one notices?”

He nodded stepping closer leaning down so only you could hear him. “Meet me out back if you like how that sounds.”

He walked towards the back doors as you stood frozen your eyes flickering from the angry serpent on the back of his jacket to the yellow and gold bulldog letterman near the beer pong tables. “I think I just might like it.” You whispered to yourself as you walked through the crowded house, towards the back door.

You walked out the door eyeing him as he stood next to his bike about to put his helmet on.  Smirk appeared on your face. “Yo Fogarty, Just you and me alone on some old moonlit road… how does that sound?”
