I've Missed You | CHONI |

Chapter 33

It had been three weeks since the wedding and now all Cheryl and Toni could think about was getting prepared for the arrival of their baby. It was their ultrasound appointment this afternoon, the first one where they'll get all details about the baby including the sex. Toni can tell Cheryl is nervous she always was but this time there was a glint of excitement in her eyes. 'How do you feel about going to Pop's before the appointment?' Toni asks. 'Sounds great TT' Cheryl smiled. 'Cheryl... are you okay?'. 'I'm just worried about the baby' Cheryl said looking at her feet. 'Everything has been great so far with the baby, I'm sure everything will be fine' Toni grabbed Cheryl's hands in her own waiting for Cheryl to make eye contact. Once she looked up Toni smiled 'Do you want to guess  whether the baby is a boy or girl?'. 'I feel like it's a girl, how about you?'. 'I'm feeling a boy' Toni smiled. 'Really? Well one of us is right and I can't wait to see which one' Cheryl ended the conversation with a sweet kiss.

The couple had their lunch at Pops before jumping in the red convertible Cheryl had bought as soon as they had moved into their home properly. Maybe they was going to have to look into a more family friendly car before the baby arrived, Cheryl and Toni had joked about trying to travel with a baby on Toni's motorcycle or Cheryl's red convertible. Once they arrive, they sign Cheryl into the maternity unit so she can have her check up and scan and took a seat. Toni could see Cheryl wringing her hands together but before she had a chance to ask if she was okay Cheryl's name was called from a separate room. Cheryl took a deep breath before grabbing Toni's hand. They made their way to the room, Cheryl's heart was in her throat.

Once Cheryl was laid on the bed her hand in Toni's, the nurse pulled her from her thoughts. 'So how's everything been?'. 'Fine' Cheryl said shortly. 'It's okay to be nervous Mrs Topaz-Blossom, this is going to feel a little cold, lets see how the little one is doing'. The nurse looked at the monitor longer than usual, Toni could feel Cheryl's hand sweating. 'Excuse me a moment ladies'. The nurse left the room with a picture of the ultrasound in hand leaving Toni and Cheryl alone. 'Oh my god Toni something is wrong, I knew this was too good to be true'. Toni interrupted Cheryl with a kiss 'whatever is going on babe, we will get through it'. Toni couldn't deny she was worried but before she could get too deep in thought the nurse came back in. 'I'm sorry about that, this is something that normally gets noticed much earlier in the pregnancy...' Cheryl had Toni's hand in a death grip 'you're having twins, congratulations both of you. Would you like to know the sexes?'. Both just nodded suddenly unable to speak. 'Well the baby here at the front is a little boy'. 'A boy' Toni whispered with a smile on her face. 'And just hiding behind him is a little girl. Congratulations again, I'll just get these printed off for you and get you the information pack to answer any questions you might think of'. 'Twins, Toni are we ready for two babies?' Cheryl had been worried about being a mom to one baby never mind two at once, she knew twins ran in her family but it never occurred to her that she could be carrying two babies. Toni just smiled 'whatever we need to do we'll get through together. I feel so blessed to be doing this with you' tears began running down her cheeks. Cheryl smiled and visibly relaxed. The nurse came back in cleaning the gel from Cheryl's bump and giving them all the information needed to prepare for the birth of twins.

As soon as they exited the building Cheryl grabbed hold of Toni's hand, the biggest smile on her face 'I can't believe we're having twins, a healthy set of twins' and then it dawned on her 'TT we have so much work to do'. 'Don't worry babe we'll get it done, we have plenty of help' she smiled swinging her wife's hand as they walked towards the car. As soon as the car door shut and they was getting prepared to drive home Cheryl turned to Toni 'Now I know our babies are healthy, I need to see my parents before they arrive so I can leave that part of my past behind me. I'll call Jason when we get home, he has no idea of what I'm going to ask him though, I hope he's okay with it'. 'Okay Cher, I'm sure he'll be there for you. I think we should let Veronica and Jason know about the twins, that way Veronica can arrange the baby shower so she's not constantly on our backs' Toni laughed. 'Do you want to call them both now to meet us at home?' Cheryl asked. 'Of course Bombshell'.  

Toni pulled out her phone dialling Jason's number first. It only rang a couple of times before he picked up. Cheryl couldn't hear Jason on the other side of the phone but she assumes he's asking if everything is okay. 'Hi Jason... Yes everything's fine, could you meet us at our place? Yeah we're just on our way home now... Okay bye'. Toni then moved her thumb over her screen pressing on Veronica's name. 'Hi V, could you meet us at our place... Yes the baby is fine... Yes Cheryl is fine... Okay see you soon'. Toni turned to Cheryl 'Okay babe lets go home'. Cheryl put the car in drive with butterflies in her stomach, feeling excited, nervous and everything in between. Ready to start a family with the absolute love of her life.
