I can't forget you

13: Children

VERONICA POV:

We moved out of Riverdale before Cody was born. We both needed it. Toni the most. Every once in a while Toni goes back. Only because that's where her mom and Cheryl our buried. "Where's mommy?" Anne ask quietly. "She's with some friends." I whisper.

TONI POV:

"Mom. I'm sorry, honestly. I'm not sure if I love Veronica. Not the way I loved Cheryl." I rub her name. "I love her, I really do. I just don't know how much." I whisper. "Veronica and I are thinking about adopting a baby." I smile.

"Toni." I turn around. "What's with the flowers?" Veronica smiles. "I just- when- when- ." I sigh. "I thought about us. We both know that I haven't been able to get over high school." I tell her. "What I'm saying is, I love you even though it's hard to tell you." I smile handing her the flowers. She cups my cheek. "I love you too." She pull me into a kiss. "I saw Betty." I rap my arms around her. Veronica looks down. "She's happy with Jughead." I whisper. I play with her hair. "I shouldn't have brought that up." I whisper. "No! It's actually. I needed that closer." I kiss her. "Do you want to have a date night?" She ask quietly. "Yeah I'll call the Babysitter." I whisper. I kiss her. "I love you." I whisper.

"This is great." She takes a sip of her wine. "Can I tell you something?" I take her hands nervously. "Yeah what's wrong?" She ask concerned. "I was talking to Sweet Pea, I really want to have another kid." She looks at me. "I thought we already talked about it." I nod. "Yeah, but I was hoping you would realize it was too much." I confess. "But I think it's a good idea." She smiles. "Ok, but you should have told me." I nod.

I pick up Anne. "Who's that?" She ask pointing at a Picture of me and Cheryl. "That's Cheryl." I hold back tears. "Were you friends?" She ask quietly. "Ahh. Well, she was my girlfriend at the time." I whisper. "But what about Mama?" She ask quietly. "Well, she's my wife." I smile. "Are you happy?" I nod. "Of course." I start to walk to her room. "Whats her name?" She ask quietly. "Cheryl." She smiles. "That's pretty." I smile. "Yeah." I nod. "How about we get you ready for School." I grab her a shirt. "This?" She nods. I help her get dressed.

"When you were in Riverdale, did you drink?" I shake my head. "No, why?" I ask quietly. Veronica walks over to me. "Should I believe you?" She ask quietly. "You brought flowers home, you never do that." I smile. "I didn't drink, honestly. I haven't in years." I tell her. "I did get high. But only because I was hanging out with the boys and just their presence get people high."
