Cheryls POV
"Well no shit Sherlock, my wife has cancer," Toni says rolling her eyes,
"You told me she was sarcastic Cheryl," Doctor McMay says laughing awkwardly
"Toni, don't be like this, ok?" I ask her willing grabbing her hand
"Fine," She laughs and kisses me on the cheek "Only for you"
"Dr. McMay, you can continue," I say
"Well, your test results confirmed you do have breast cancer as you already know," He started "And it is early stage 3, we caught it rather late. Cheryl, I'm afraid this means your statistics are... low, we heard your concerns with surgery last time so we are going to start with chemo and radiation, the question is how aggressive do you want to be?"
He hands us a little duo tang.
"Take a few days, look over everything, give me a call,"
Toni grabs my hand.
"Cher, before you open this," She says grabbing the book "What do you want to do?"
"I want to fight, as hard as I can, do as much as we can. I want to be as aggressive as it can," I say
"Ok, then that's my vote," She says
I stand up and take her hand. We walk out and Toni texts everyone to get to a emergency meeting at Pops.
"What are we going to do about KT?" Toni asks remembering we haven't told her
"I told Betty to send her to Polly and the twins for the day." I say as we reach the car
"Well, aren't you smart," Toni says kissing me
Toni gets in the drivers seat as I sit in the passengers seat.
"Are you sure you want to open this in front of everyone? I mean shouldn't we see it first?"
"No, I want everyone to see it at the same time," I reply
"Ok whatever you want," She says putting her hand on my thigh
We get to Pops and everyone is already there sitting down, I grab the file from the backseat and Toni wraps her arm around me.
"You ready?" She asks
"Never will be Toni so we might as well do it now." I reply
We walk into pops and sit down at the table.
"W-whats that?" Fangs stutters
"The official report of my diagnosis, statistics and everything," I say
"We haven't opened it yet, the only thing we know is that it's early stage 3," Toni says "They caught it late,"
Betty puts her hand on my shoulder.
"Well, lets open it up," I say trying to sound chipper
I open it and read it quickly, I'm in shock and can't find the words so Toni grabs the folder from my hands.

TONI'S POV

I grab the folder out of Cheryl's hands and read the paragraph out loud.
"The results of the test done to Cheryl Majorie Topaz-Blossom reveals stage 3 breast cancer. It is the theory of doctors on her case it has spread to her lungs in stage 2. Chances of survival are 90% to the end of the current year. Chances of survival to a full year after test results come back (July 4th) are 6% or less," I finish my sentence and look up. Cheryls crying and the rest of them are in shock. She isn't even 30 years old! It isn't fair!
"That must be a typo, you're young, you were healthy," Jughead starts
"I have a condition," Cheryl says "My blood is a little thinner than normal, but not thin enough to go on medication, also some medications I have allergies to and that will affect my treatment,"
"We made a decision on the way here, we are going to be as aggressive as possible,"
"You didn't even read the pamphlet though, when you made that decision didn't you want to know the odds?"  Sweetpea asks
"Screw the odds," I reply
"Ya," Cheryl says grabbing my under the table "Screw the odds,"
We read the rest of the documents together, the type of chemo she was going on meant she wouldn't lose her hair, which she was happy about. Cheryl still insists to be as aggressive as possible, that course could have her in remission by  November, but it could also kill her by November. the only other course Cher mentioned was to not do anything at all.
"Are you crazy Cheryl?" I say annoyed
"Ya Cher, that means pretty much certain death by April," Betty says looking at the document
"Ya but I would be able to live my life until then. Toni, we could show Kait the world and make memories with her before I die," Cheryl reasons
"Um your 23 years old, you deserve to live, you will make memories with Kait, after your treatment,"
"6%, Toni, not even 1/10 people in this position make it out,"
"Ya but 3 out of 50 do Cheryl!"
"That's still 6%," she mutters
"I'll do whatever you want to do,"  I say looking at her
"Well I can fight like hell or live like I'll never see tomorrow," She says
"Cheryl, this is serious,"
"Well I thought that was funny, anyways I have never walked away from a fight before, so I don't see a reason to stop now,"
"Bombshell for the win," Jughead says
We talk some stuff out until Cheryl says this
"But we are telling KT now," she says
"NOW?" I ask shocked
"Well I guess it would make sense Toni as Cher said she wants to start Chemo tomorrow?" Betty says
"Fine, I guess," I say "Can you get her here?"
"Ya I'll call Polly,"
Cheryl lays her head on my shoulder.
"You tired Babe?"
"No just resting," She replies
"Ok,"
We hear the bell ring, and I turn my head trying to keep Cheryl on my shoulder thinking it was KT.
"What the hel-"
"Well, well, well, Just the people I came to see," She says
"Hermonie please just stay away from us, we have too many issues without another Lodge trying to kill KT," Fangs says politely
"Well, they weren't trying to kill her, just inform her," She reasoned
"Ya and I'm straight, screw off Hermonie," Cheryl says from my shoulder
We all laugh at what Cheryl said.
"Toni, I'm sorry to hear what happened to you," Hermione says
"Your daughter raping me?" I say surprised she brought it up
"I meant getting shot,"
"Not the first time, probably wont be the last, if your husband has a say anyways."
"Well, if you did your homework, I divorced Hiram after he murdered Kayden, and remarried,"
"Oh congratulations, I guess since your not a lodge anymore we will give you a chance," Betty says sarcastically
"No I'm serious, actually you guys might know my husband" she says ushering towards the booth on the other side of Pops.
"MR. ANDREWS??" Jughead says surprised "Well, I guess that makes me your step son as  he practically raised me."
"Have a nice lunch Mrs. Andrews and congratulations," Cheryl says in a nicer tone then before
"Thank you Cheryl," She says as she leaves and sits down at her table
"That's odd,"
"Ya a little," Cheryl says "But I'm happy she isn't with a psychopath anymore,"
"That's true," I say
I put my arm around her and kiss her head. Betty sees Polly out of the window.
"Are you sure you're ready for this babe?" I ask her
"Never, but I guess now is the time."
