Sheltered heart

Part 19

Cheryl- "not anymore, I have you meaning I can't feel it. I only feel your strength on me T-T"

Toni- (sniffs and chuckles) "you are one incredible, intelligent and interesting woman Cheryl Blossom"

Cheryl- (smiles) "I guess I just like to keep you on your toes, Toni Topaz"

Toni chuckled again before leaning in for another kiss, it wasn't long but it was perfect for their second

Toni helped Cheryl get dressed in the more comfortable clothes and they laid down together

Toni- "you're okay?"

Cheryl- "I think I am, because I have you"

Toni rested her hand on the girl's stomach but kept gazing into her eyes

Cheryl- "I didn't want to tell Betty this.. but I don't think I can get rid of it"

Toni- "okay. I get it Cher, but are you one hundred percent sure?"

Cheryl- "I-I think so, I already feel connected with him or her. They'd be my baby"

Toni pulled her closer to her by her waist and kissed her forehead

Toni- "then I'll be with you, I'll help with anything you need"

Cheryl smiled softly before closing her eyes and both girls fell asleep in each other's arms

The next morning Cheryl woke up first and was actually feel pretty okay which was a relief to all three of the girls

Betty- "Sorry Toni but we should probably head home"

Cheryl- "c-can you walk with us?"

Toni- "as long as it's okay with Betty, of course I will"

Betty- "sure Toni, it's not very far"

Toni- "your mom and dad won't kill me?"

Betty- "no I think you're good, they'd never hurt a fly"

They got ready and headed across the south side but of course Cheryl heard a voice that made her stop in her tracks

Fangs- "you bitches!"

Betty looked at Cheryl in concern as Toni rolled her eyes. They all turned around and saw Fangs standing there with a bandaged around his nose

Toni- "looks like I didn't hit you hard enough the first time"

Fangs- "because of you, I don't have game anymore and I had to pay for a hospital bill"

Toni- (sarcastically) "oh I'm so sorry for you Fangs? Is there anything we can do?"

Fangs- "you fucking asshole!"

He started to lunge at Toni but Cheryl immediately stepped in front of her

Fangs- "whoa look who wants more"

Toni pushed Betty behind him before grabbing Cheryl's arm

Toni- (whispered) "you don't have to"

Cheryl ignored her and took a step closer to him

Cheryl- "you're an asshole, and you made me feel like I was nothing but in reality you are nothing and will always be nothing"

Toni took her hand as the girls started walking again

Fangs- "I guess I'll be seeing you around hot stuff"

Cheryl stopped again before turning around and walking up to him

Cheryl- "I guess you should wait to pay that hospital bill"

Fangs- "wh-"

And Cheryl punched him the exact same spot

Cheryl- "now get. fucking. lost"

She pushed him backwards as her fell before Toni grabbed her shoulder

Toni- (softly) "c'mon, let's go"

They left Fangs laying there holding his nose as Betty looked at both of them

Betty- "I-I'm guessing thats..?"

Toni nodded and tried to take Cheryl's hand but she winced

Toni- (softly chuckles) "I'm guessing you've never punched anyone before"

Cheryl- (nods) "it hurts like hell"

She lifted her hand and already saw her knuckles bruising

Toni- "don't worry, it should stop go away in a couple days"

Toni kissed her hand as Betty smiled at the two of them

Betty- "okay I think it's official you two are the cutest"

Cheryl- (blushes) "thanks Be"

They reached the corner of Elm Street and said their goodbyes to Toni before walking to the Cooper house. Just outside the door Cheryl stopped and took a deep breath

Betty- "it'll be okay, we can meet up with Toni again later"

Cheryl looked at her and nodded before using her good hand to hold Betty's. they went inside and saw Alice and Hal eating breakfast

Alice- "hey girls! How was breakfast?"

Betty- "it was good, I paid with cash so it's not on the Tab"

Alice- "good girl, and you're ready for school on monday?"

Betty- "mom, it's Saturday. Let us have the weekend"

Alice- "I guess, are you girls gonna go hang out upstairs?"

Cheryl- "I-I was actually wondering if I-I could talk to you Alice"

Alice stood up and put her plate in the sink, before walking over to them

Alice- "of course, why don't we go up to Betty's room"

Cheryl nodded as Betty put her arm around her shoulder. They went up stairs and Alice sat in Betty's desk chair while the girls sat on the bed

Cheryl- (softly) "s-so I mainly w-want to ask if I could stay for awhile"

Betty looked at Alice who was thinking for second

Betty- (softly) "it's okay Cheryl, you can tell her the rest"

Alice- "did something happen?"

She put her hand on Cheryl's leg as she flinched back

Alice- (softly) "I see, does Penelope know?"

Cheryl- (in tears) "no, and you can't tell her! She'd be horrible. I need to stay somewhere else"

Cheryl turned and fell into Betty's arms as she looked at her mom with sorrowful eyes

Alice looked at the girl sobbing into her daughter's shoulder and immediately made a decision
