Choni Family Oneshots

Blooming

Red and pink hair blended together on top of the same pillow as the couple cuddled closely together. It was freezing outside as the snow continued to fall, a typical January in Riverdale.

They were squashed together in the box room in the Cooper-Jones' new house. Polly and the twins got the box room but Cheryl didn't envy Polly, having to share the double bed with two 9 year olds. She doubted they would be cold though. Cheryl watched as the light from the moon crept in under the half shut blinds and caught the diamond on her engagement ring. She watched with a sense of tranquillity, the scattered light from the ring dance around the small room. She smirked to herself. She turned around to face her half asleep fiance. She reached down under the covers to find her other hand. Toni's left one was on Cheryl's waist holding her in tight. She grabbed a hold of it and brought it up to her lips and kissed it.

"Hi." Cheryl whispered quietly. Toni giggled and looked up at her fiance with sleepy eyes.

"Hello." Toni replied, matching her tone. Cheryl laughed lightly too and leaned forward to kiss Toni. Toni reciprocated it and the hand left her waist and came up to grab Cheryl's face. The kiss was soft and sweet. Cheryl broke it and lay back down on the pillow, a small soft smile played on her lips. Toni lay down next to her, brown eyes meeting each other. Toni moved a strand of loose red hair that lay over Cheryl's face.

"I want a baby." Cheryl announced quietly. Her eyes never leaving Toni's.

Toni's brow furrowed in confusion. They had never mentioned starting a family before. Toni hadn't even thought Cheryl wanted a baby. She was very apprehensive around Eloise earlier that day. When Betty asked her to hold her for her while she lifted dinner up, Cheryl very quickly passed her to Toni.

"What?" Toni asked, a bit louder than before.

"I want a baby." Cheryl repeated. She looked determined.

"Where did this come from?" Toni asked, with a light laugh. Cheryl eyed her a bit for the laugh.

"You were just so good with Eloise today. And you're always so good with the twins." Cheryl explained.

"That doesn't mean we have to have a baby. I mean are we even ready for a baby?" Toni asked her seriously. Cheryl mused it over, they were nowhere near as wealthy as Cheryl was growing up but they aren't poor by any stretch. They have nice things, a good apartment, steady jobs. Cheryl thinks they're ready. They do have a mortgage to pay off though and student loans and an upcoming wedding.

"Will you think about it?" Cheryl asked Toni. The moon made Cheryl's skin glow.

Toni nodded. It made her hair ruffle against the pillow.

"Promise?"

"I promise."

Cheryl smiled. She held her pinky out and Toni wrapped her own around it. Cheryl rolled over making herself the little spoon, she brought Toni's arm over her waist again by the pinky and they both settled into a sleep.

"Happy Valentines day." A whisper said. Cheryl opened a sleepy eye.  Toni stood by the bed holding a breakfast tray. Cheryl smirked and sat up, her hair crazy and knotty from sleep.

"Happy Valentines day to you too." Cheryl replied happily. She sat up straight and Cheryl gave her a kiss. Toni handed her a knife and fork before placing the tray down on the bed. Pancakes, topped with whipped cream, cherries and sliced strawberries. "You are too sweet." Cheryl said taking a forkful of mostly whipped cream.

"You're sweeter." Toni said kissing her on the forehead climbing over Cheryl's lap and sitting next to her on the bed. Cheryl fed her a strawberry.
