Fixing a broken heart

They bumped into each other

Cheryl entered the school, holding the twin's hands.

Toni entered the school, Breanna behind her. They entered through the high school way so they'll be in and out.

As Cheryl entered the twin's classroom, their teacher greeted them.

"This is just a parent-teacher meet and greet." The pre-K teacher explained.

"Oh okay." Cheryl nodded.

Toni shook Mr. S's hand. "Nice to see you again." He smiled.

"I didn't know, Breanna here was your daughter. But then again the last names." He chuckled.

Toni smiled. Breanna was right, he was down to earth.

"Yep." Toni nodded.

"So, I'm her homeroom teacher and science teacher. During the school year, she will get assignments that will be a little challenging, but she's very smart so I know she can do it." He smiled.

Toni nodded, sending a wink to her daughter who giggled.

After talking with the teachers, The parents walked out.

"Let's take this way. It's closer to the car." Toni said.

"Mommy! Mommy! I need my stickers." Alex said.

"Okay, baby." Cheryl huffed, looking her purse as she walked.

Toni was on her phone as she walked. She was texting her sister.

Then Boom! They bumped right into each other.

"F- Wa-" Toni was cut off when she saw Cheryl.

Holy mother of God. She's gorgeous Toni thought.

"I-I'm sorry. My son was just asking me for something, I was looking in my purse." Cheryl apologized.

Breanna smirked at how her mother was speechless.

"Uh, mom." Breanna whispered, Snapping Toni out of her daze.

"Uh, Uh. Yeah, it's t-totally my fault." Toni gulped.

Cheryl smiled. "Mommy. I'm tried." Sophia complained.

"Okay, baby. We're going home." Cheryl nodded, looking down at her.

"Um, sorry again." Cheryl said before walking away with the twin's hands.

"Holy shit." Toni mumbled.

"Mom, Are you okay?" Breanna asked stifling a laugh.

"Uh, Yeah, Yeah. come on, " Toni said, leading the girl out the other way.

"Like, Betty. She stared at me so hard that I thought she was gonna drool." Cheryl giggled as facetimed her sister.

"Maybe she thought you were a damn goddess." Betty joked.

She had just put Alexander and Sophia down for bed not too long ago.

"Maybe." Cheryl smirked.

"Was she hot?" Betty asked.

"Like. Very, and I assume it was her daughter, She was laughing at her." Cheryl giggled.

"Oop. Anyways, Dad said that Jason is coming down to visit so bring the twins over after school." Betty explained.

"Ugh, Jason. I missed him, but why this week?" Cheryl groaned.

Betty laughed. " You're just lazy." Betty smirked.

"Yeah? Well, you try raising two humans at once." Cheryl said.

"What did they do this week?"

"Alex! He spilled his apple juice all day today! Like this morning I poured him some, somehow it's on the floor the next 3 seconds." Cheryl huffed.

"They're still learning, Cher." Betty sighed.

"I know. It's just ever since Heather I've just very impatient with them lately. I yelled at Sophia for just talking about her day. I have to really work on that." Cheryl said.

"Yeah. And if you need a day, I will gladly take them for a full day or weekend." Betty said.

"Thanks, betts." Cheryl smiled.

Betty nodded. "Okay, I'm gonna go and finish cleaning, Later love you!"

"Love you more, Cher." Betty giggled, ending the face time.

Cheryl sighed, getting up to finish the dishes.

"Mom? Are you okay? You've been fazed since we left school." Breanna asked as she ate her spaghetti.

Toni sighed. "That damn redhead." She mumbled.

"What about her?" Breanna furrowed her eyebrows.

"Did you see her?" Toni asked as if Breanna was crazy.

"Mom. Yes, I saw all. I mean she's human, not a ghost." Breanna giggled.

"Seriously, Bre. Like she's utterly beautiful." Toni sighed.

"Oh." Breanna said, tilting her head. "I guess she was." She said.

Toni frowned. Breanna didn't like the idea of Toni ever getting with someone else. How could she if she was in love with her dad? And then he died, would he want that?

"Bre. Look, I know ever since your dad died. You haven't been happy about me finding someone else to love, but I can't stay single forever, baby. Your father wouldn't want me unhappy." Toni said.

"Yeah, but you have me." Breanna said, tears threatening to spill.

Toni sighed. "Of course. Yes, I have you. And I love you, unconditionally. But don't you think that it's time I find someone to love, like Romantically?" Toni asked softly.

Breanna shook her head, " Yeah. But dad died almost two years ago. Don't you think it's too early?" She sniffled.

"It's never to early to find new love. Just know, That your father will always have a place in my heart that no one can take, Okay?" Toni said, placing a piece of brown hair out of Breanna's face.

"Okay." Breanna smiled, feeling much better.

"Now, I'm not saying that I'm in love with her because she's a total stranger." Toni giggled.

"I know." The tanned girl smiled. Her phone dinged.

"Can Leah come over?" She asked.

Leah is Breanna's bestie since kindergarten.

She lived a few blocks down from them.

"Sure. But don't go to bed late! You gave school tomorrow." Toni said.

Breanna nodded, kissing Toni's cheek before running upstairs to her room.

"Teenagers." Toni giggled while she shook her head.
