The Lives We Live

Chapter 29

"T-Toni," Cheryl said crying hard. "P-Please drive. I can't stay here anymore."

Toni nodded and pulled away from Cheryl, cupping the redhead's face and wiped her tears. "Calm down okay? Do you want to follow me or do you want to switch places and drive?"

Cheryl shrugged. "Just stay beside me," She said in a low voice.

The newspaper owner nodded, "Let's switch places. I'll leave my car here and we will get it back later. Come on, let's switch." She said as she got out and opened Cheryl's door. They switched places and Toni started driving. Cheryl's head rested on Toni's shoulder and their hands were laced together. At every stop, Toni kissed the top of the redhead's head and kept telling her that everything will be okay.

They arrived at the park only to find Veronica, Noah and Norah are playing football with Luke and Lucas and having fun. Toni smiled at the sight in front of her and turned to Cheryl, "Looks like they are friends,"

The redhead nodded and smiled. "Let's go play with them." She said as she got out of the car followed by Toni.

"Little man! Big guy!" Toni yelled Luke and Luca's nickname causing the little boys to stop running and look at the source of the voice. Their eyes lit up at the sight of Toni and their mother and Toni. They ran to them as the redhead knelled down and opened her arms. Luke hugged his mother tightly as soon as he reached her. Cheryl kissed his temple as she let him go to hug Toni. "How are you, little man?" She asked as she picked him up and placed him on her hip. Lucas came hugged his mother and high five Toni . "How are you doing big guy?"

"Gweat! Noah ith pwaying wif me!" Luke yelled happily.

"That's awesome!" Toni replied in a baby voice that made the boy giggle. "What about you Lucas? Having fun?"

The boy nodded. "All of them are great at football!" He exclaimed. "Do you guys want to play?"

"Why not? Let's just see Norah and Noah first." Toni said as the four of them started walking towards the group. She put the little boy down as he and his brother ran towards Betty. The newspaper owner looked at Cheryl who had a smile on her face. "I love you," She said in a low voice.

"I love you too," The redhead said also in a low voice.

Norah hugged her mother tightly as the brunette kissed her forehead. "Are you okay baby girl?" Toni asked softly.

"I am now," She then turned her gaze to the redhead. "Cheryl!, we meet again." She said politely with a smile.

"Indeed we did, how are you doing Norah?"

"I'm good," She said shrugging. "You have two lovely boys, they are absolutely amazing." She said with a wide smile.

"Thank you," She said blushing. "Where's your twin? I haven't met him yet."

"I'm here!" The brunette boy jogged to them, kissing Toni's cheek. "You must be Cheryl, I am Noah, Norah's twin." He said sticking his hand out.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Noah, I heard a lot about you."

Noah smiled. "I did too, I'm glad that you make my mother happy." He said sincerely. "Keep it that way."

"Oh I intend too, let's go join the others," The redhead said smiling as they started walking to Veronica and Betty's side. After the greetings, they made a team of four people, the Blossom's and the Topaz's and started running after the ball. Betty was truly happy to see Toni and the boys bonding, it gave her a sense of comfort to see them laugh and play with her. As for the raven haired girl, she kept eyeing the blond, she couldn't deny it but she was gorgeous and she would love to go on a date with that woman.
