The Nerd Next Door

(54)

5 years later

Dominic and Amber ran to the car as Cheryl picked them up.

"Hey, my loves. How was school?" Cheryl asked.

"Fun! I got to color and eat snacks." Amber smiled.

"What about you Dominic?" Cheryl asked, buckling him in his booster seat.

"It was fun. My teacher gave me a golden star." He smiled, pointing to his shirt.

"Yay!" Cheryl giggled, making sure Amber was buckled in.

"Mommy is at home waiting for us." Cheryl smiled, getting into the car.

"It's movie night!" Dominic cheered.

"Yep."  Cheryl chuckled.

-----
"Mommy!" Dominic cheered as he and Amber ran over to her.

"Hey, babies. Had fun at school?" Toni asked, setting the popcorn down before giving her a hug.

"Yeah. I got a gold star. See." He pointed to his shirt.

"Wow! You were being a good boy. What about you, Amber?" Toni asked, setting the remote down.

"I got to color. And eat snacks. And nap time was my favorite time." Amber smiled.

"I'm happy you had fun, baby." Toni chuckled, pecking Cheryl's lips.

The family settled down on the couch after Amber and Dominic bathed.

"Today's movie is Finding Dory!" Cheryl said excitedly.

"Yay! I love that one!" Amber cheered, sitting beside Cheryl.

Cheryl cuddled the child closer to her, while Toni cuddled Dominic.

They watched the movie, enjoying it as a family.

Dominic and Amber laughed at some parts they found funny, and some that were funny.

The two adults laughed too, enjoying their time with their kids.

Amber threw popcorn at Toni once the movie ended making the woman looked up at her she giggled, trying to hide.

"Oh no you don't!" Toni giggled, picking her up.

"AHH! The monsters got me! Dominic save me!" Amber giggled.

"I got you, Sissy!" Dominic giggled.

"NOPE." Cheryl said, also picking him up.

The boy giggled and squirmed in her arms.

She went over to where Toni was as they held they're squirming kids.

"I love you." Toni smiled.

"I love you more." Cheryl smiled.

If anyone would have told Cheryl that she would've fell in love with the nerd next door, she wouldn't have believed it. Toni is the best thing that ever happened to her. And now here they are, Married, and two beautiful kids. Bailey was right by their side, barking and jumping with them as the small family played fight.

Cheryl pecked Toni on the lips before carrying Dominic into his and Amber's bedroom.

"Okay, little monsters. Time for bed." Cheryl said, putting Dominic down on his bed.

"Whew. Your heavy." Cheryl chuckled out of breath.

Toni put Amber in her bed.

"Get some sleep you two. Love you." They smiled.

Toni and Cheryl were cleaning up the living room, Content smiles on their faces.

"Ya know. I'm glad I moved across the street from you." Toni said, breaking the silence.

Cheryl smiled, looking at her wife. "I was just saying the same thing."

"Yeah. And look at us now. Two kids, married, a family dog, nice house. I think we did well." Toni smiled.

"No. We did, Amazing." Cheryl smiled.

"And you fell in love with the nerd next door." Toni smirked.

"Huh. I did, didn't I? I made a great choice then." Cheryl giggled, pecking Toni's lips.

"I love you." Cheryl whispered.

"I love you more." Toni smiled.
