Toni's POV
3 weeks later
We came back from Vegas- which was the time of our life, really. Riverdale is Riverdale, but at least the kids make it interesting. Madi has her girlfriend, Natalie, they've been dating for over a month and a half now so they seem to be good. Alex is going through shit- literal shit but we are trying to figure it out. But that was the subject of today's fight.
"Alex, you have to stop partying," madi says in a low voice in the kitchen "I'm not lying to our moms anymore,"
I walk in with my arms across my chest.
"Partying? Without our knowledge Alexandra? I think mom and I are more than fair with the rules,"
"It was twice, not that big of a deal,"
"Madi?" I ask
"Three times and the partying isn't that big of a deal," she sighs
"Alcohol? Drugs?"
"Neither, boys,"
"Ew boys why?" I say pretending to be disgusted "Just kidding obviously, but boys?"
"Cmon Madi it's not like I'm fucking them, making out with boys isn't going to kill me,"
"Alex, you're my sister and walking down the halls knowing you've made out with half the boys-"
"Woah woah woah, excuse me? Why are you practically hooking up with multiple boys?"
"It's not a big deal," she says
"I'll leave this one to you," madi says
"Cmon Alex talk to me, please?"
She refuses too
"I'll give you a deal, I won't tell mom,"
"I'm not scared of Cheryl," she retorts
"I would be, I am. Especially when boys are involved,"
"True, Fine. What do you want to know?"
"Why all of a sudden?"
"For fun," she shrugs
"I'll get you a hobby like golf, or better yet more chores," I say back
"I'm fine with the partying, thanks,"
"Lex, mom has had the talk with you and your sister. Do you need another?"
"Ew no, it's no big deal,"
"Making out with multiple guys?" I ask
"Like 3,"
"So like 8?" I ask
"How'd you figure that out?" She asks shocked at the number
"Double plus two," I smirk "that's how it always works with you and your sister,"
"Whatever, it's not that big of a deal,"
"You're right, it's not. Or at least I don't think so. The sneaking out is." I say
"Why?"
"Because neither me nor Cheryl know where you are- and with our family's past that's not good," I say "one time you snuck out and I found you in a underground bunker- months later,"
"I didn't sign up for that! I dont want these enemies," She snaps
"I know you don't, and I didn't want you girls to be raised in an environment where you had to be scared, and you don't, but I want to know where you're going still. Our enemies aren't the only bad people in the world,"
"Fine, I will tell you from now on,"
"Are you drinking with your friends?"
"A little," she shrugs
"That's ok, that's why you went out drinking with Sweetpea." I say "Marijuana,"
"Once, but not with my friends," she says looking at her hands
"Who with?"
"By myself when you guys were in Vegas,"
"May I ask why?"
"Mads was out with Nat, the girls with Pea and I was sad, everyone's life is moving forward and mine- isn't. Chad isn't really the problem, the problem was when I was with Chad, I didn't think about anything but now, I'm always alone, Mads isn't even home anymore and I think and I get nervous and I end up back In the bunker, or as a kid and I can't shut my brain off. I thought weed would help but it didn't,"
"You didn't like it?"
"No I flushed the rest of it,"
"You aren't going to get in trouble ok? But I need to know if there's anything else,"
"Nothing I swear! Someone offered me something called jingle jangle but I didn't take it,"
"I'm freshman year, I smoked weed a lot,"
"Cheryl let that happen?" She asks
"No I didn't know Cher yet," I laugh "anyways I smoked weed, I had some- problems, big ones but I didn't really have a support system. I didn't trust anyone and I thought it was my only option. I know people who have done it for fun, Pea did it for anxiety, and people that did it at parties and got addicted. Personally I don't really care if you smoke weed, I think you're too young, I think your brain is still developing- but it won't drive me away and it won't ruin our relationship by any means. I don't want you doing it because you have no other options either, if you want to go to the therapist more often, or just talk with me or Cher- you can all the time kiddo," I say
"Is mom against weed?" She asks
"She will be against it in the house, with your sisters and brothers here. But I think she'd understand, she's stubborn but she's gone through more than her fair share of tough times,"
"I didn't even like it, I won't do it again. And the partying was pretty much over too, I just needed to feel alive I guess, for a while, but I'm done,"
"Good," I sigh relieved
"Why do you sound so relieved?" She asks
"I'm too young to have a child partying and making out with boys," I laugh "and straight people are confusing,"
She laughs
"Sometimes it seems like Betty and Jughead are the only two straight adults in Riverdale,"
"You might be right kiddo," i laugh
"Always am,"
"Just remember to talk to us ok? We don't care if you party, we want you to be safe ok?"
"Ok thanks mom,"
"No problem kiddo,"
"And you can tell Cheryl- we all know you suck at keeping secrets and that Cheryl can sense it anyways,"
"Your mother is something else," I laugh
"True,"
"Go hangout with your sister," I say
"Ok," she smiles "thanks mom,"
"Anytime,"
She walks away.
God I'm too young for this. Kids smoking weed, wondering if they're having sex yet, man.
Laughing to myself I hear the boys giggling and Cheryl walking into the kitchen.
"There's my beautiful wife," she smiles kissing my cheek
"Hey babygirl," I say
"What's up? Why is Lexi crying?" She asks
"Give me a boy," I say "then Ill tell you a story,"
She laughs and hands me TJ.
"Oh little man, you're getting big,"
"Story time?" She asks
"Right!" I laugh "So Alex has been sneaking out to parties,"
"Why are you not concerned?" I ask
"Because we talked and she's done with partying," I say
"Ok if you say so," she sighs
Easier than I thought.
"What else?" She asks
"We talked about sex and drugs and alcohol,"
"Sex? With boys?" She gasps
"Don't be so dramatic,"
"Is she? You know?"
"No no, thank god. But she has smoked weed,"
"She has?" She asks
"When we were in Vegas she got really sad and worked up and she thought it would help. It didn't so she doesn't do it anymore,"
"Lonely?" She asks
"Probably lost in her thoughts along in being lonely,"
"Are we fucking these kids up?" She sighs
"No, were helping them," I assure "We're their parents Cher, we're going to screw up every once in a while,"
"I know, I know," she sighs
We stop talking about that and just sit there enjoying eachothers company
"Heya baby boy, how are you today?" I say kissing TJs temple "You're really smiley today baby,"
"You're a cutie," Cheryl laughs bouncing Owen
I blush and kiss TJs head.
"Hey moms?" Madi asks coming in
"Ya sweetie what's up?" Cher asks
"Natalie's family wants to know if we want to go over for a barbecue tomorrow night,"
"You can go sweetie," I say
"No we, as in all of us,"
"Do they know we have 6 kids?" I ask
"Yes," She says "they have a huge yard like ours,"
"Do they know we're gay?" Cher asks
"Everyone in town knows you're gay mom," madi says rolling her eyes "plus- their daughter is gay, they don't care,"
"Fair point,"
"Sure," I say "We're In"
