Toni's pov
--------------------------------------------
it had been about a month and a half since the accident and with no development on the case we we're still off school and today was the day Cheryl would be getting her walking boot on and then she would start to walk on two feet still using her crutches for a few weeks to get used to it before she shouldn't need them, which means we can start to go out more often. I got up and got dressed and headed to Alice's since Cher asked if I would go with her and her mom to the doctor. she admitted to me last night she was a little nervous about getting her cast changed and then having to start using her leg for the first time and to quote Cheryl 'FOREVEVER' which made me laugh a little cause she was always so dramatic, I told her not to worry that I would be there and that she would be fine, it seemed to calm her a little but I could still see the nervousness in her face.
as I arrived I chapped the door and waited and Cheryl answered "hey" I say surprised to see her answering the door "hi" she says quickly and she looks scared as hell and like she hasn't slept so I go up the last step and into and into the door way to give her a cuddle "you're gonna be fine baby" I say rubbing her back "I know, i'm just being stupid" "you're stupid most days" I joke and she laughs "thanks".
After about 10 minutes we got in Alice's car and heeded to the hospital me and Cheryl sat in the back. once we got there we went and sat down and Alice checked Cheryl in and we sat down on the chairs. she still looked worried so I took her hand in mine, she looked down at our hands then to me and I just gave her a smile which she returned. after about 5 minutes the doctor called her name and I stood up and helped her up "hey, you'll be fine red" and she smiled before hobbling off towards the doctor, once she get the cast off they will put a thinner one on and giver her the walking boot then we will be called in to sit in while they show her how to walk and make sure she's comfortable walking. "she's been nervous al morning" Alice's says "she's done nothing but talk about you while pacing the floor looking out the window waiting on you" she adds and I give a small laugh "really" "yeah" she says turning to face me, the waiting room is empty " Toni, listen, you seem like a good kid and Cheryl adores you and I can see why from what I see you make her happy and look after her, but promise me something" "anything" "promise me you'll be respectful that I can really trust you, that you wont hurt her" I can see the last part has a double meaning "Alice you have nothing to worry about, I would never ever make Cheryl do something she wasn't comfortable with, and I will always make sure she's okay" "okay I believe you, and I just wanted to ask something and I only ask because I want to protect my daughter and I know its none of my business but I need to know before I can fully trust you..... have you ever been tested.. like you know" "miss cooper that wont be a problem" "that doesn't really answer my question Toni" "I haven't been tested because I haven't needed to" if your talking about condoms to" "im not talking about that miss cooper, i'm a virgin. if Cheryl choose to she would be my first so" "ohh sorry I didn't mean to presume anything" " I know, protecting your kids is number one priority and in todays world you have to assume the worst cause it would be naive not to" she offered a small smile like a thank you for understanding and being honest with her "I do really appreciate your honesty Toni, and I think we will get along as long as we have an understanding which means your treat my daughter like a princess" "always" "you're a good kid Toni I can see that, I must say I was sceptical when I found out that you we're brought up on southside and then by fp for awhile and then living on you're own I thought that you might have been a bit of a rouge but you're anything but, you seem really kind and caring along with honest so In my book I couldn't ask for anyone better for Cheryl" "your trust really means a lot to me because Cheryl isn't just some girl to me she's so much more and I cant wait to show her just how much I care though spoiling her with everything I can possibly give her, obviously with your blessing of course" and she just smiled " you really are serious about this about her aren't you" "one hundred and ten percent" "good because she doesn't deserve anything less than everything" "emm miss cooper would yous like to come though" the doctor interjected and Alice got up and signalled for me to come as well so I followed.
"hey how was it " I say to Cheryl who has a new cast on and is sitting on a little bed thing "yeah it was fine, just like you said" she said and I gave her a smile and sat on the seats. once she had been shown how to she could walk using her two feet only using the crutches for a little support ad now we could go back home.
once we go home Alice says she's going out and betty was out with jughead so it was just me and Cheryl "soo what do you wanna do, stay in or go to pops?" I say "mmm I think I want a cuddle" she says as she leans her head on my shoulder and I wrap my arms round her "Brooklyn nine-nine?" I say already knowing the answer and I feel her smile "do I even have to answer that" she says and I laugh and carefully pick her up and she giggles "TT put me down" "nope, I promised your mom I would treat you like a princesses and princesses don't walk to the couch" and she burst out laughing " what are you talking about you crackhead" she laughs as I put her on the couch "me and you're mom and a nice chat while waiting and I promised I would treat my princes like one and that I will" and a smirk forms on her lips "really wel does that mean that your princes get a nice cold drink of lemonade?" "if that's what my princes wants then that's what she shall get" I say as I go and poor her a drink while she puts Netflix on. "here you go " "mm thank you, what about a kiss?" "anytime" I say as I give her a kiss before she cuddles into my side and I throw the blanket over us as we watch our show.
we watch a couple of episodes before Alice's comes back "hey girls" "hey" we both said at the same time causing us to giggle. "what's for dinner" Cheryl asks "emm well I was going to leave yous money to order something since im going out" Alice replies "yeah that's fine with us" Cheryl says looking at me "pizza?" she asked "sounds perfect "I say smirking at her before giving her a kiss, "okay well im going to get ready then i'll be out of your hair". After Alice leaves we watching TV a little while longer before getting our pizza. "want to go to sweet water for a bit" cher says " yeah why not " I reply as Cheryl looks at me then to the last slice of pizza and back at me again before quickly grabbing it "ohh my god cherrrr you got the last slice last time" I whine playfully " tell you what why don't we share it" "cher how is that even going to work" "you've seen lady and the tramp haven't you" " with pizza tho" "well its all Italian isn't it" she says like its obvious and I laugh as we end up trying to share the last slice of pizza unbeknown to us Betty and Jughead we're standing watching us with confusion "umm do I even ask?" Betty finally speaks up and we look in their direction "lady and the tramp Betty " I repeat Cheryl's 'like its obvious tone' from earlier and she just give me a wtf look before shaking her head and taking jugheads hand to lead him upstairs, while me and cher just look at each other a laugh again. "so sweet water" I say once we've calmed down "yeah, we can watch the sun set" she says with a smile getting up "Betty , Jug, we're headed out for a bit" I shout up stairs "how long" she shouts back "sayyyy an hour maybe" I shout back "okay" and I look at Cheryl "they are so gonna fuck" "I think I can here jughead getting a boner" "eww straights" " tell me bout it" Cheryl replies and we both just laugh and head out to her car.
once we get there we just sit in the car listening to a random playlist on Cheryl's spotify when one song come on and we both start singing lightly till we notice the other also sing and before we know it we're fully going at it singing away belting out the lyrics to champagne supernova by oasis. once the song is over and our giggles have died down I look at Cheryl "I didn't know you liked oasis" I said surprised at the song that came on " I didn't till I went on my phone and saw it on my recently listens history and I was confused since I had never heard of them" " wait, you hadn't heard of oasis" I say cutting her off "not until you no, but once I had went through my history I added all the songs you we're listening to into a playlist so as when we we're in the car we could listen" "awww who knew Cheryl Blossom was a big softy" "shut it topaz" she warned playfully pointing at me "or what Blossom" I playfully challenged "ohh you wanna go, cause im ready" she said as she started to tickle me over the seats and I mirrored her actions, after a while we called a truse to catch our breath and sat back with big smiles on our face before Cheryl broke the silence "think its sae to go back?" " I think so", and with that we headed back.
once we opened the door we shouted up immediately just in case cause we did not want to hear that. Once we were in we sat down and talked for awhile before Alice came home and i headed back to my trailer. once in I texted Cheryl to let her know i was in safe since it had became a requirement, then i jumped in a shower and went to bed and texted cher good night cause god help me if i forgot because she would sure make it known the next day i thought and a smile cropped up on my face as i thought about the other morning when i went to Cheryl's for breakfast and got a warning from Alice that i was in the bad books for not sending her a goodnight texted something that she remined me she looks forward to every night, she's so extra its funny but cute.
