Since moving into her old house, with jughead and FP, Betty had been feeling a lot better. Obviously, she still had nightmares of her dad, and her mother and polly were still at the farm, but she a lot happier since living with her boyfriend. Jughead always knew his girlfriend loved Christmas, so one night when he got home late, after a serpent meeting; he wasn't at all surprised to see Betty asleep, wearing pyjamas that had candy canes all over them.

A couple of days before Christmas, Betty was busy wrapping presents for her friends, when jughead walked into their room. "Hey betts" he smiled, leaning down to where she was sat on the floor and kissing her head. "Hi juggie!" She chirped. "I was thinking we could go out for lunch?" He suggested, sitting on the bed and watching as she wrapped. "Sure! Let me finish this and then I'll get changed" she said. "Take your time" jug told her, picking up his book and opening it. When Betty was done, she placed the presents into a bag and walked into the bathroom to get ready. About ten minutes later, she was done and wearing a Christmas jumper with a red skirt. "You look very Christmassy" jug grinned, standing up and placing his hands on her hips, kissing her softly. "And you're gorgeous" he added. "Thank you" she blushed. "Okay, let's go" he said, leading her out the door.

The next few days flew by, and before they knew it, it was Christmas Eve. Jughead and FP could tell how excited Betty was from the minute she woke up that morning. "Juggie! I'm going to deliver my presents!" She called, putting her coat on. "Okay babe! Do you want me to come with you?" He asked, walking over to her. "No I'll be okay" she smiled. "Okay, call me if you need anything" he said, zipping her coat up and placing a kiss on her lips. "I will! Bye! Love you" she smiled. "Love you too" he said, as she left the house. "She's really excited huh?" FP laughed, from where he was leaning on the wall, drinking coffee. "You have no idea" jughead chuckled. "It's nice seeing her this happy" FP commented, as the two Jones men sat in the kitchen. "Me too, she's been so sad lately, but since being here she seems a lot more settled" jug said. "Because she finally has somewhere stable to live, where she can be herself" FP explained and jug nodded. "I just want her to have the best Christmas this year, she deserves it" jughead said. "She will son, we'll make sure of it" FP nodded.

When Betty returned home, later that day, she had some more presents under her arm, which she placed under the tree. "Hey darling!" FP greeted when he saw her. "Hi" she beamed. "I'm cooking dinner, should be done in a bit" he told her, pulling her in for a one armed hug. "Okay" Betty smiled. "Darling, you're freezing, why don't you have a shower?" He suggested and Betty nodded, running upstairs. Jughead was lounging on the bed of their spare room when she made it up the house. "Hey you" he grinned. "Hi" she chirped, going over and pecking his lips. "You're cold betts" he said, seeing the pink of her nose. "I know! It's freezing outside!" She shivered. "I'm about to jump in the shower" she told him, shrugging off her coat. Once she had her shower, she put her Christmas pyjamas back on and jumped on the bed next to jughead. "Have you had a good day?" Jughead asked, wrapping his arm around her. "Yeah it was nice, did you?" She asked, smiling up at him. "I did, it's better now though" he smirked and she giggled. "JUG! BETTY! DINNER!" They heard FP yell from downstairs.

After dinner, Betty and jughead were cuddled up on the couch, watching Christmas movie's, when FP brought them both hot chocolates. "I know you mentioned you're mom used to make you hot chocolate on Christmas Eve" FP smiled. "And...you exchanged one present" jug added, pulling a small wrapped gift from behind the couch. "Y..you... remembered?" Betty whispered, tears pooling in her eyes. "We wanted you to have the best Christmas" FP said and that's all it took for Betty to burst into tears. "Woah, hey. Betts..." jug said, wrapping her in his arms and rocking her gently. "Shhh baby" he comforted. "Sorry... it's just.." Betty cried. "This year has been awful" she started. "But living with you two has been amazing" she sniffed. "We feel the same way baby" jug smiled. "You're like my daughter, you've been through some terrible things, we wanted to give you an amazing Christmas" FP smiled. "Thank you" Betty said, and hugged the older man. "You're welcome darling" FP said, hugging her back. "I love you" Betty said, turning to jughead. "I love you too" jug grinned, wiping her tears. "So, are you going to open your present?" He smirked and Betty's eyes lit up. "Wait! I have one for both of you too!" She giggled and rushed up the stairs. "We did good son" FP grinned. "Yeah, we did" jug laughed.

The next day, jughead was shook awake by a very excited Betty. "Juggie! Juggie! Juggie!" She said, shaking his sleeping body. "Mmmm" jug groaned, opening his eyes and looking over at his girlfriend. She was knelt on the bed, her Christmas pyjamas on, and excitement in her eyes. "Merry Christmas!" She beamed. "Merry Christmas baby" he smiled, pulling her down and rolling so he was hovering over her. "You're beautiful" he said, leaning down and kissing her softly. When they pulled away, she grinning wide. "Come on, I know you're dying to go downstairs" he said and laughed when she rushed off. "Morning dad!" Jug said, when the couple walked into the kitchen. "Good morning! Merry Christmas!" FP smiled, hugging Betty then jug. "Merry Christmas!" Betty beamed. "Take a seat guys, breakfast is Almost done" FP said. Jughead and Betty took a seat at the counter and jughead could feel the excitement vibrating off his girlfriend. "I would offer you some coffee, but I think you're buzzed enough" jughead joked, causing FP to laugh. Betty just playfully rolled her eyes at him. "I'm joking!" Jug chuckled, pouring her a cup, adding milk and sugar to hers. "Here you go gorgeous" he said, sliding it over. "Thank you" she said, pecking his cheek.

Later on, after presents had been exchanged and they'd all eaten their Christmas dinner, Betty and jughead found themselves walking hand in along Sweetwater river. Betty was wearing a brand new fluffy coat that FP had gifted her, with some new earrings jug had given her. "Are you cold?" Jug asked, noting her shivering. "A little bit" Betty said, squeezing his hand. "Even in that marshmallow?" He laughed. Jughead had kept saying she looked like a marshmallow in her coat. "Shut up" Betty grumbled. "I'm joking, you're the Cutest marshmallow I've ever seen" he grinned. "And sweet... I'd love to eat you all up" he teased and she squealed when he picked her up and kissed her passionately. "Thank you for today" Betty said, when he placed her back on the ground. "You're welcome. I just wanted to see you happy" he smiled. "I'm always happy when I'm with you" she told him, looking up into his eye. "You know..." jug started. "We've done a lot of Christmas traditions, except one..." he said. "Which one?" Betty asked, looking confused. "We haven't kissed under the mistletoe" he smirked. "There's no mistletoe in the forest jug" she said, gesturing around them. "Ah! But I have some!" He smirked and pulled some out of his pocket, holding it above their heads. "Juggie" Betty giggled. "So betts, will you kiss me?" He asked and she smiled, nodding. "Of course I will" she said, leaning up and cupping his cheeks, kissing him softly but with passion, showing him just how much She loves him. "Merry Christmas Betty" jughead whispered, when they pulled away. "Merry Christmas juggie" she smiled, before connecting their lips once again.
