Toni's POV
"Come on babe." I groaned as I extended a hand for her to hold. "I'm coming." Cheryl fake outed as she took my hand in her grasp. Elijah, Avery and Noah were already waiting for us in FP's truck that he had left for us.
"Hey moms." Avery smiled as we entered the truck. Eli and Noah were both sprawled out in the back, leaving Avery squashed. "Hey Ave." Cheryl giggled as she saw the mess of teenage bodies in the back.
"Come on Boys." Cheryl groaned as she tried to wake up the teenagers. "Alright, jeez." Elijah muttered as he rubbed his eyes and left the car, soon followed by Noah.
"Mom?" Noah yelled from upstairs about ten minutes after we got home. "Yeah?" Cheryl called back. "Other mom?" Noah corrected Cheryl.
"Yeah Noah?" I called back to him.
"Can you come here for a sec?" He asked through walls.
"What's up Noah?" I smiled as I leant against his doorframe. "Do you love mom? Tell me honestly." Noah asked me seriously as he stopped tapping his pen. "Noah, I love your mom so, so much. She is my everything and she always will be. I took a bullet for her, and another for one of our kids. She'll always be my everything, and she'll never get hurt as long as I'm around. I can consider her as my best friend. We've been through so much together, and she's been through so much alone, so right now... right now I feel it's my job to love her as much as my heart will possibly allow." I told my son honestly as I knelt down to his chair.
Suddenly I felt a warm body force itself upon my own. I turned around and hugged my beautiful wife tighter. "I meant every word of it." I told Cheryl after we shared a quick kiss. "I know, baby girl, I know." Cheryl sobbed into my chest.
"It's just the fact that..." Cheryl began through tears.
"The fact that what, beautiful?" I asked my wife as I kissed her tears away. "I-I... I was nearly raped, Toni." Cheryl whispered to me as she broke down in my arms.
I couldn't concentrate on anything other than holding Cheryl. My mind was blank. "W-when? W-who? W-where?" I stuttered, desperate to know the facts of what happened to my baby girl.
"In July this year, at the back of Pop's by... Nick St Clair." Cheryl told me gently as she sat down on Noah's bed. "Is that why you want to know if I love mom? Because you're protecting her?" I smiled softly at Noah. "He's always been protective, T, so have the others but never as much as Noah. He's very protective of his mom, reminds me of you." Cheryl smiled as she looked up at me.
"Is Nick in jail?" I asked my wife as she crawled onto my lap. "Yeah, thanks to the triplets." She smiled as she snuggled into the crook of my neck. "What did they do?" I asked as I kissed the top of Cheryl's head.
"Well, after they noticed that the man who had been continuously hitting on me and myself had been missing for a few minutes, they went outside, where they heard my screams. Avery then used her bobby-pin to pick the lock on the gate that lead to the back, Eli football tackled the man who was on top of me to the ground, and Noah carried me to the front, while Avery rang Fangs and Pea, who had been just as protective of me as you were... are." Cheryl smiled at me.
"Well, I'm glad that we have heroic, courageous kids, But that will never happen again as long as I'm around. I promise." I smiled as I kissed Cheryl's head.
"I know baby, I know." Cheryl whispered to me as I kissed Cheryl's face all over.
AN: Now that they're a happy, full family, let's hope that nothing else bad happens to them. Anyway... thanks for reading! See ya next chapter! BYEEE!
