Jughead is often involved. Since he and Betty have a complex relationship in the show, in fanfiction about her pregnancy, he could be the father, and they would have to deal with the implications of that. Veronica is also a common character. She might be Betty's confidante, helping her through the pregnancy, or there could be some jealousy or conflict if Jughead is the father. Archie could also be involved, perhaps as a supportive friend or in a more complicated love triangle - type situation.
There could be many interesting fanfics on this topic. Maybe it would explore how Betty deals with the pregnancy in the complex world of Riverdale, like how her friends and family react. Archie might be shocked and Jughead could be there to support her in a really unexpected way.
One popular storyline could be Betty dealing with the unexpected pregnancy while also trying to keep up with the mysteries in Riverdale. For example, she might be hiding her pregnancy from some of the more dangerous characters in town as she tries to figure out who her real friends are. Another could be her pregnancy in the context of her relationship with Jughead, and how they navigate the challenges together, like financial concerns and family reactions.
Some fanfictions might focus on the emotional journey of Jughead and Betty. They could be scared at first but then grow closer as they anticipate the arrival of their child. They might start to think about their future together more seriously. They could also face pressure from their friends, like Archie might have some concerns or Veronica could offer her own brand of support. In some plots, they may even consider moving away from Riverdale to start a fresh life for their family.
One popular plot could be how they deal with the unexpected pregnancy while still in high school. They might face judgment from their friends and family. For example, Betty's parents might be disappointed at first but then come around to support her. Another plot could involve their future plans. Maybe Jughead has to put his writing career on hold to support the family, or they consider moving out of Riverdale to start fresh.
Maybe Betty gets pregnant and it causes a rift between her and Jughead. Jughead is really focused on his writing and his own future and he's not sure if he's ready to be a father. This could lead to a lot of drama and emotional turmoil as Betty tries to convince him that they can make it work and that she needs his support.
Their relationship could become more serious and committed. With a baby on the way, they would have to think about the long - term future together. They might start to see each other in a different light, not just as friends or former lovers, but as partners in raising a child.
Another way they could deal with it is by being very open about the pregnancy at school. They could start a support group for other teen parents or those facing similar situations. This would not only help them but also other students in Riverdale High. They could also use their situation as a way to raise awareness about teen pregnancy and the importance of support systems. Jughead could write about their experience in the school newspaper, and Betty could use her influence to promote positive change within the school community.
Another idea is that the pregnancy is a result of a one - time mistake or a moment of passion. Betty and Archie struggle with their feelings for each other because they each had other relationships in the past. Jughead could play an interesting role in this story. Maybe he's the one who discovers their secret first and has to decide whether to keep it or tell the others. He might also offer some unique perspective on their situation as someone who has been close to both of them.
Some fanfictions portray them as being really strong together. They support each other through the mood swings and physical discomfort of pregnancy. Jughead might write about Betty's pregnancy journey, which could strengthen their bond.
