TONI POV:

She walks into my office and sits on my desk. "Cheryl you know how much I hate when you do this." I don't event look up. She placed a pregnancy test on the desk. We've been trying for a while. It just hasn't really worked. I look up, I get up and walk over to her. I can't believe we are having a kid. "How long did you know?" I ask holding her stomach. "A few weeks." She says bitting her lip. My eyes my widen. "And you kept it from me?" I say. She nods. "I needed to make sure, and I was going to make a big deal about it but I would have needed help with it and I want to keep it between us for a few more months. Just incase something happens." I kiss her. "I love you." I kiss her again. "I love this child." I kiss her stomach. "We are having a baby. Scratch that. You're having a baby." She smiles. I kiss her. "Babies." She says quietly. "It's twins." I kiss her. "I want two boys." I say, she laughs quietly. "I have no say, you have no say. But I agree." I hug her. We stay there for a few minutes. "I love you." I play with her hands. "Toni, I love you more than anything and I'm sorry I waited to tell you." She kisses me. "Your the love of my life. I'm so happy I married you."

I kiss her slowly. "We are going to be parents." I say still slightly in shocked and it's been a few months. "Two boys." She says cupping my cheek. I rub her belly. "Three more months and this hell will be over." I say. "I need to tell you something." I say sitting up and facing her. "What is is baby?" She rubs my thigh. I take a deep breath. "I haven't been the best at keeping to our promise." I say. She sits up. "Last night I had a few beers. I didn't get drunk, you were asleep when I got home and I didn't drive." I say not looking at her. The past couple of years I've been having trouble with alcohol and I've been trying to clean my act up. "I know. I got a call from Jughead. I didn't stop you because I know you have been stressed. Please don't do this again though not until the boys are born." She cups my cheeks. "Toni, I know what you have been through." She kisses me. "Just if you're going to drink be safe I'm not raising these kids on my own."

"What do you want to name them?" I ask. I rub one of the boys. "Jason," she motions to the boy in my arms. "and Thomas." She says quietly, motioning to the boy in her hands. "This is the happiest day off my life. Besides marrying you." I kiss Jason's tiny little hands. "He's adorable. Both of them are." Oh I'm going to have a hard tine telling between them.

14 years later

"Moms, can we talk?" Jason walks downstairs into the kitchen. He looks like he is in the middle of a panic attack. Cheryl and I look at each other. "Yeah, what's up?" He walks up to the counter. "Um. I don't know if I am 100% sure about this but I need to tell you so I don't question this the rest of my life." He paces around the room. I walk over to him and hold his shoulders. "Calm down. Take a deep breath." He calms down slowly. "What is it. It can't be that bad." Cheryl says calmly. "I think I'm gay." He looks up at me. "Ok. Jason you are the last person to know." I say. "But I'm not sure. Can it stay between us?" I nod. "Yeah." He doesn't let anyone say anything else and goes upstairs. I turn to Cheryl. "Was that supposed to be new?" I whisper. "Can you not be so sarcastic in moments like that?" She says. "Sorry it just doesn't surprise me. He's the complete opposite of Thomas." It's weird both of them look nothing alike anymore, Jason is the scrawny nerdy kid and Thomas is the star quarterback. They look like brothers but they aren't identical. "I can't believe they are going to be seniors next year." She says.

"Jason." I knock on his door he hasn't been downstairs all weekend. "Bud." I walk in and sit on his bed. He continues working in his notebook. "Jason." I take his pencil away but he just takes another pencil. "Jason Blossom-Topaz!" He finally looks at me. "What?" He ask clearly frustrated. "You need to be with your family for once." I say. "Mom, I'm sorry." He starts crying. "I try to be the perfect son! I can't do this anymore. I'm tired of fighting." He looks down. "Jason." My heart drops. He gets up and walks out. "I don't want to be bothered." He yells.

CHERYL POV:

"Thomas what happened?" We run into the hospital. "I don't know. I got a text saying he wants to kill himself. I went to the river and he was breaking the ice." I sit down. That's exactly what I did. "Cheryl?" I look up. "I did the same thing in high school." I say. A doctor walks out. "Are you guys the blossoms?" He ask. I stand up. "I'm sorry, there was to much water in his lungs. He didn't make it." I stay quiet. "Oh my god."
