Topaz Cherries

Chapter 2

Toni's POV
In Riverdale, every few months there is this 'adoption fair' thing.

It's basically this thing where all the local/nearby orphanages bring all the kids it Pickens Park, and family's come and can adopt kids. It lasts 5 days, and is starting today.

It's how Betty and Veronica got Alec, and now me and Cheryl are gonna go. We are hoping for a kid that's between the ages 6-13.

We know sometimes kids have siblings they can't be separated from, and we talked about it and decided that we'd be fine with that, both of us wanting more that one child, but if we only get one that's fine.

Right now we are in the car driving to the fair, singing to girls like girls loudly. We pull up to Pickens Park and get out of the car.

I walk over to Cheryl and hold her hand. We walk around until we see a kid sitting on the ground alone.

I look over at Cheryl, who looks back at me. "Should we go talk to her?" I ask. Cheryl smiles and nods.

I wrap my arm around her waist before we walk over. "Uh hi. I'm Toni Topaz, and this is my wife, Cheryl." I say.

The girl looks up at us and smiles, then looks back down. We sit down. "I'm Madi." She says.

Madi looks at us. "My parents died when I was 3. I'm now 13. I've gone through this many times. If you're not gonna adopt me, leave." Madi says.

I glance at Cheryl and frown, feeling bad for her. Cheryl gives me a weak smile and looks at her.

"Well how about we get to know each other, and then we can see how you feel about us adopting you." Cheryl says.

Madi nods and smiles. "Great. Well, we live with our best friends, Veronica and her wife Betty, and their son Alec." Cheryl says.

"So how long have you guys been together?" Madi asks when she sits down. I pull my head up from of Cheryls shoulder and smile at her.

"We have been married for 5 years, and dated for 2 and a half years before that." I say smiling at Cheryl.

Cheryl kisses the top of my head causing me to smile wider. I pull out my phone and look at the time.

"Okay so this is open until 10 right?" I ask. Madi nods. I look at Cheryl.

"Okay. Cheryl can you stay here with her, it's 5:30, so I'm gonna go get us pops for dinner." I say. Cheryl nods.

"I'll be back soon. Love you." I give Cheryl a quick peck on the lips before getting in my car and driving away.

I get to pops and order some fries, burgers and milkshakes to go. Pops gives me my food, I pay and head back to the fair.

I walk back to where Cheryl and Madi. I give Cheryl a quick kiss as I sit down.

I hand out the food as I cuddle into Cheryl.

After we finish eating I collect the garbage. "Okay so how would you guys feel about us adopting you." I ask.

"That'd be cool." Says Madi.

I look at Cheryl. "Well then it's settled. We'll adopt you. In a matter of few days, you'll be a Topaz." I say.

Madi hugs me and Cheryl. We hug her back.

"Okay well we better go to the orphanage to get the papers. We will be back tomorrow." I say standing up.

I help Cheryl up with me as we walk away. "I love you." Cheryl says once we get to the car. I smile.

"I love you too baby." I say. I kiss Cheryl passionately for a minute before pulling away.

"Now let's go to the orphanage." I say.

-3 days later-

Me and Cheryl pull up to the orphanage to pick up Madi. Betty, Veronica and Alec are at home setting up a welcome party for her.

Jughead and Sugar are coming into town just to met them. A bunch of the old serpents are coming, as well as Archie Andrews.

I step out of the car and run around to open Cheryl's door for her. Cheryl gets out and I intertwine our fingers.

We walk into the building and see Madi sitting there with her stuff. When she sees us she jumps up.

"Hey! So we just gotta go tell them we're leaving, then we can head home." I say. Cheryl stays with Madi as I walk over to the desk.

I sign her out before walking back to Cheryl and Madi. When I get back I grab Cheryl's hand. "Let's do this!" I say.

We walk out to the car with Madi following us. Me and Cheryl put her stuff into the trunk as she gets into the car.

We get into the car and turn on the radio, Girls Like Girls playing. I look at Cheryl and laugh.

We drive home singing and laughing. This family is just getting better and better.
