chapter 4: lovers

A rare perspective into the life of Cheryl Blossom.  Spending her time with her new school of girls and raising her twin niece and nephew, she was quite busy. But not too busy to answer the door for an unexpected visitor.

She opened the grande door of Thornhill to someone she couldn't have expected, along with the visitor's baby.

Toni Topaz, her ex-girlfriend. The only real love she's ever experienced.

"Antoinette?" She asked, confused.

"Cheryl, hi. Can I come in?" She asked, rocking Anthony. She looked upset

"Of course. It's freezing out," She said, welcoming the two inside from the cold.

The two women walked into the living room. Cheryl sat in a chair across from Toni who had put Anthony in the crib that was in the room from when the twins were young.

"Is there anything I can get you?" Cheryl asked. She wanted to be as helpful as possible.

"No, Cheryl. Thank you," Toni smiled sadly.

Cheryl nodded, "Are you alright? Is the baby alright?"

"About that.. That's why I'm here. Fangs and I aren't on good terms and I have nowhere to stay. If it's an issue, I can find a serpent who we can stay with but-" Toni was interrupted.

"Stay here, Toni. I mean, if you would like. For as long as you wish," Cheryl smiled.

"You have no idea how much this means to me, Cheryl," Toni sighed in relief.

"You know I'm always here for you, and for your baby," Cheryl added.

"I know, and that's why I wanted to talk to you, about us," Toni told her.

"Hm?"

"I realized something when I was seeing Fangs.. I realized that I'm not over you, Cheryl.. And, I wanted to see if we could try again."

"Toni, I don't know.. I'm not good for you."

"What do you mean?" Toni asked.

"Toni, I'm cursed. I don't want to hurt you or your baby. I-I can't."

"Cheryl Blossom, you are not cursed." Toni said, standing up.

Cheryl stood in front of her, looking her in the eyes.

"I don't deserve you, or love. As much as I wish I did."

"You deserve love more than anyone I have ever known. You are loved. I love you," Toni said, standing closer to her.

"You what?" Cheryl asked.

"I love you, Cheryl. I never stopped."

"Antoinette Topaz, I love you too," Cheryl smiled. She genuinely was happier than ever. Toni still loved her.

Cheryl leaned in, kissing Toni.

Toni wrapped her arms around Cheryl's neck, kissing her.

Seven years. Seven years and they were finally reunited.

Eventually, they pulled away.

"Is that baby nursery still set up?" Toni asked, smirking.

"It is, but feel free to redecorate it the way you'd like it."

"Cheryl, I love it. And I love you."

"I love you too, TT."

"I really missed that nickname," Toni laughed, holding Cheryl's hands.
