TONI POV:

I walk across the hall to Cheryl and Veronica's apartment. "Hi Cheryl! Hey Toni how are you? I'm good, is it ok if I come in and eat your entire fridge? Hell yeah! There's no stopping you!" Cheryl says sarcastically and I dive into her fridge. I sit up. "Sorry." I smile nervously. "Fangs forgot to go out to get food and I was at work all day." I smile sitting on the couch. "Where's V?" I ask quietly. "Work." I look down. "Right because she actually has a life." She cups my cheeks. "We should move in with each other." I stand up. "What?" I ask in shock. "We should move in with each other." She pulls me into a kiss. "Yeah let's." I smile.

"Fangs. Veronica is going to move in with you. It's going to be ok." I tell him. "But we've been roommates for a really long time..." Fangs says annoyed. "Cheryl and I have been dating for a long time and it's about time we moved in with each other." I try to rationalize with him. "Ok." He nods. "But Veronica?" He whines. "Well Veronica would move in with Betty but she's with Jughead." I tell him. "What about Archie?!" He ask frustrated. "They broke up!" I yell. "Right. Right!" I shake my head. "I'm right across the hall."

I sit up in my bed. "Hey baby." I jolt for a second. "You ok?" Cheryl ask quietly. "Yeah just not used to actually living with you." I smile. She pulls me into a kiss. "I love you." She whispers. "Mhmm. I love you." I kiss her. There's a knock on the door. "I'll get it." I get up and walk to the door. I open it. "My sister?!" Jason yells. "Hi Jason!" I smile sarcastically. Actually Jason could beat me up with out much effort. "If you're going to kill me can you at least just make it quick. Just know, that I love her more than anything and I don't know what I would do with out her." I try to reason. "I love her." I whisper. "I really do." I reason. "Fine, if you hurt her!" He looks at me. "I'll kick your ass." I nod. "O-of course." He nods. He walks away. "Toni." I look at Cheryl. "I just saw my life before my eyes." I whisper closing the door. "I love you." I whisper. She kisses me slowly. "I'm sorry about him." She smiles. "Also. I know." She kisses my cheek. "I love you baby." She whispers. I kiss her.

CHERYL POV:

Toni and I have been married for a year now. We live in Riverdale again. We decided if we want a family, it's not happing in the city. I walk into the kitchen. "Toni." She jumps a little. "You ok?" I ask quietly. "Y-yeah just thinking." She places a plate in the dishwasher. "What are you thinking about?" I ask her quietly. "My mom." She whispers. "I should have listened. You know?" I nod. "There was nothing you could have done." I rub her cheek. "I know but I could have spent more time with her. It's just I didn't know what to do... I just pushed her away." She whispers not making eye contact. "Babe look at me." She looks at me. "Your mom loved you. Trust me. I went to go see her because I knew she needed to be updated on you, she loved you more than anything. And if your brother wasn't there with us she probably would say you were her favorite." Toni smiles a little. "You saw my mom before she died?" I nod. "Yeah."

"This is Thomas Freeman. His mom died in a fire and his father is out of the picture. He's 7. He is obviously very traumatized by the whole thing, so we'll be able to pay for therapy." Ms. Peters who is helping us adopt tells us. I nod. "Ok."

"Thomas, this is Cheryl and Toni Topaz. They are going to take care of you." Ms. Peters tells Thomas as they both walk into the room. "Hi." He whispers shyly. Toni smiles and kneels in front of him. "Hey bud." She whispers softly. Thomas steps closer. "It's ok." She whispers. "I'm Toni. This is Cheryl." Toni shakes his hand. "We got you a teddy bear." She smiles. "Her name is Mr. Snuffles." Thomas takes the bear. Toni smiles. "Mr. Snuffles?" She ask quietly. "Yeah. It's silly." He smiles. "Ok."

TONI POV:

I pick Thomas up. "How's Mr. Snuffles?" I ask quietly. He's had Mr. Snuffles in his hands all weekend. "Good." He whispers. "She wants chocolate ice cream." He grins. "How about we go to Pop's? You can get a milkshake." Cheryl suggests. "What's a milkshake?" He ask quietly. "Well we'll find out." I say. We go to Pop's and we all sit in the back. "What's this milkshake thing?" Thomas ask quietly. "Well, it's when they put ice cream in a cup and mix it with milk. You'll see! If you don't like it I'll have it." I joke. "No! It's mine." He smiles.

"So?" Cheryl and I wait in suspense waiting for Thomas' reaction. He takes a sip and processes the milkshake. "It's weird." I nod. "It's good!" I smile. "Yeah!" Thomas drinks more. "Don't drink it so fast before you get a-." He freezes and clutches his head. "Brain freeze." Cheryl and I say at the same time. "Here's some water." I hand my water to him. I rub his back. "It's still good." He laughs.
