Cheryl's POV
"Finally." Archie laughed when Pea and Fangs arrived with several Pop's bags hanging from their hand.
"I better go feed the triplets." I sighed as I picked up Eli and Noah. "I'll help." Toni smiled as she picked up Avery and three bottles full of milk.
I sat Noah on my right knee and Eli on my left, while Toni sat Avery on her right knee. We were in the kitchen and we were just... talking.
"I can't wait until they are teens!" I giggled excitedly. "Oh I can." Toni rolled her eyes with a small laugh.
"We're both moms." I smiled as I closed my eyes and swayed side to side. "Yep." Toni smiled contently as she gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Jesus, it takes long to feed triplets." Pea smirked with a wink. "We didn't- ew. Not in front of our children." I sighed as I sat back down on Toni's lap, the triplets all on mine.
After we said our goodbyes to everyone, we set the triplets down in their cribs and just sat and enjoyed their melodic, soft breathing patterns. "I love them so much it's crazy." Toni laughed as she pulled me towards the bedroom. "I love you so much it's crazy." I smiled at my wife.
Our life is perfect. We have all we could ever ask for. A healthy, happy family and loyal, loving friends.
I went to sleep snuggled up next to Toni that night, just enjoying her warmth.
"CRASH!"
I woke up to the loudest noice I've ever heard. "Stay here." Toni told me as she rushed it of the bed.
"What about the triplets?" I asked as a silent tear escaped my ear. "I'll get them. Just stay here, Cher. Promise me?" Toni asked me as she walked closer to the door. "Wh-?" I began as I sat up.
"Promise me." Toni told me as she opened the door.
"I promise." I told her defeatedly.
I waited for Toni for what seemed like centuries, but was really only seconds.
She soon opened the door and walked in with three crying babies in her arms. "I need to see what the noise was. Stay here with the babies and call-." Toni was interrupted by my mother slamming open the bedroom door.
Toni stood in-front of me and the triplets. "FUCK OFF!" Toni screamed at Penelope (the woman I can no-longer call my mother). "LET ME SEE MY GRANDCHILDREN!" Penelope screeched back.
"NOT OVER MY DEAD BODY!" Toni screamed.
"Let me see them." Penelope ordered slowly and clearly. "No." Toni replied back as Penelope took a step closer to us. "Are you sure?" Penelope asked as she took out a gun. "Stop mother." I choked out the name. "Or what?" Penelope laughed maniacally.
"Let me see me babies or I'll shoot your Southside Slut." Penelope smirked as she stepped closer to us.
"Don't cheryl." Toni told me through gritted teeth.
"Shoot me if you want to shoot anyone." I told Penelope. "Cheryl." Toni whimpered. "Don't." She continued. Penelope twirled the gun around her fingers as she laughed.
Toni stepped forwards towards Penelope. "If you shoot me, you promise that you won't hurt Cheryl or the triplets?" She asked the heartless woman.
"Yeah, yeah." Penelope rolled her eyes.
Toni stood closer to my mother.
My mother raised the gun.
My mother fired the gun.
"TONI!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
I jumped off of my bed and forced all of my wait onto Penelope. "YOU BITCH!" I screamed, using all of my anger and powering it into hurting the bitch who has ruined my life.
I hit her, kicked her, slapped her, punched her and bit her until she was unconscious on the floor.
"Toni." I whimpered as I rushed to my wifes side.
She was unconscious.
I checked her pulse.
Barely breathing.
I dialed 911.
"My wife had just been shot by my mother and my mother is unconscious." I told the woman behind the phone. "Thistle House. Be quick." I replied when she asked me where I was.
The bullet wound was in Toni's chest.
But right now I felt as if there was a hole in my chest.
A part of me was missing.
I carried Toni to the sirens.
"Let me get me kids." I told the ambulance before running upstairs to the triplets.
I scooped up all of the crying babies and ran back down to the ambulance.
"Will she be ok?" I cried as I tried to calm down Noah.
"W-we can't say." They replied honestly.
I cried. I cried like a baby. But after all, I was just a baby. At only 18 years of life. I was still a baby. A big baby who needed her baby. A big baby who had three babies.
When we got to the hospital I called Fangs and told him to meet me in the hospital with everyone.
They took Toni into immediate surgery with my permission.
As I sat with my babies, Alice rushed to my side and pulled me into a tightly, motherly hug. Luke took the babies from me and I just cried into Alices shoulder.
"She's gone." I cried loudly. Alice rubbed my back softly and kissed my cheeks. "It's gonna be ok." She whispered.
"I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! I hate her!" I screamed loudly. "SHES RUINED MY FUCKING LIFE! IT WAS ALL PERFECT UNTIL THAT BITCH RUINED EVERYTHING!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. FP then pulled me into the biggest, warmest hug. "Shh, kiddo. It'll be ok." He whispered.
"Toni's a fighter." He told me, yet I could hear the doubt in his own voice.
"What will I do? I can't raise three kids by myself! If Toni dies then... she's gone." I sobbed into FP shoulder.
"Cheryl, we've got you. We can help you look after the babies." Pea told me as he pulled me into a hug.
"Yeah, we'll all help." V nodded.
"Cheryl Topaz?" A voice called, making my neck snap upwards.
"Yes?" I replied almost immediately.
"Toni Topaz is in a coma, but we don't know for how long and if she'll make it out of it." She told me with sadness in her voice.
"Can I see her?" I asked the nurse.
"Of course, follow me this way." The nurse sighed as she walked into the room where they took Toni.
"Baby." I whimpered once I was at Toni's side.
"Don't leave me." I sobbed desperately.
AN: how long will Toni be in a coma for? Do you want me to skip it to when she wakes upIf she wakes up? Anyway... thanks for reading! See ya next chapter! BYEEE!
