Cheryl's POV
"Momma!" TJ laughs as Toni tickling him
"Good morning baby boy," she says kissing his head
She smirks and walks over to me
"And good morning to my very hot wife," she says kissing me
I laugh.
"Pea and Fangs are watching the kids today so we can go to the hospital,"
"Mommy has to go back to the hospital?" TJ asks
"Just for a check up buddy," I say ruffling his hair "I'll be back for dinner time,"
"Can Uncle Sweetpea give us ice cream?" He asks
"No sweetie, you're not allowed ice cream,"
"We'll just tell uncle Sweetpea they said yes," Owen tries to whisper
TJ nods and they laugh while walking into the other room.
"Oh boy, I can't wait until they're teenagers," Toni says
"Oh because the girls are so easy to deal with," I say
"No I read this thing called a book," she says "very very informational,"
"What was this book on?"
"Child phy-si-o-lgy or or something,"
"Child psychology?" I ask
"That would be correct," she says "and it said, girls are easy as toddlers and hard as teens and boys are hard as toddlers and easy as teens,"
"You read that on Pinterest,"
"No I read the psychology book thingy,"
"No, you didn't,"
"I didn't but it was a reliable source!"
"What source?"
"Buzzfeed!"
"Not reliable," I say
"Is so!"
"Hey Alexander?" I yell
"Mom, it's Alex, Lex or in even doing better with Lexi,"
"Alexandra," I say "if you used buzzfeed as a source would it be reliable?"
"Of course it wouldn't,"
"Haha," I say sticking my tongue out
"Ok I'm going to leave this fight,"
"Fine Mrs Know it All," she says
"It's Mrs Topaz," I say
She kisses me and smiles.
"Let's get going babe,"
I nod and grab her hand.
"Bye everybody! We'll be home soon," Toni yells
"Good luck mom," Madi yells
"Thanks Mads,"
We leave and go to the hospital.
They do a test and tell us to wait there.
"Nervous babygirl?" Toni asks
"No I aced that test," I say
"No I think I'm ok," I say "I feel better,"
"Ok but if the results are not good, we'll deal with it,"
"I know we will,"
Toni plays with my fingers and hair for like 2 hours.
"You bored babe?" I ask
"No no, I love it here. I love the white walls and the old people," she yawns "I'm having a blast hanging with you today,"
"Cut the sarcasm," I say
"I'm not being sarcastic," she says
"Cheryl Blossom?" A doctor calls
"Oh my god thank the lord!" Toni says
I laugh and grab her hand. We walk into a room and he tells us to sit down.
"Mrs. Blossom, let me be the first to congratulate you on an amazing journey. As per your recent test results, you are officially cancer free!" He says "complete remission,"
"Oh my god," I say
This can't be real.
He hands us forms and leaves us alone.
"Babe," I say
"Cher you did it," she says
I kiss her. I couldn't have done any of this without her, I can't believe it's finally over.
"I love you," I say connecting our foreheads
"I love you too baby," Toni smiles
"You're the single best thing that has ever happened to me,"
She hugs me really tight.
"I'm so proud of you baby,"
"Thank you Tones,"
We fill the forms out and hand them into the receptionist.
"Wanna stop at the wyrme for a drink before we go home?" Toni asks "it's not like we're paying for the babysitters,"
"Sure lets do it,"
She drives to the wyrme and when we get inside- the kids are there.
"Momma!" TJ says
"There are my beautiful little boys," I say hugging him "where's your uncle?"
He points and Pea and Fangs are talking to the older girls.
"Hey Pea? What's going on?" Toni asks
"Veronica and Heather showed up at the house so we got everyone out,"
"Why were they there?" I ask
"They were just sitting out front,"
"Interesting,"
"How'd the test go?" Fangs asks
"Boys come here," Toni says to Owen and TJ
They walk over and Pea and Fangs picks them up
"The doctors said I'm officially in remission" I say putting my arm around Toni "no more treatments,"
Everyone cheers.
"Momma What is remission?" TJ asks
"It means the adult sickness is gone buddy," Toni says
"Yayyyyy!" Both the boys say
"You drinking then Cheryl?" Fangs asks
"You know it," I say "Tequila,"
"Straight?"
"Oh ya," I say "shots,"
"Remember You always told me I wasn't allowed to drink alcohol around the kids?" Toni says grumpily
"Ya that's you, I can hold my alcohol,"
"No you can't,"
"Better than you,"
"No,"
"Mommy what's alcohol?" TJ asks
"And can we hold it for you?"
I sigh and look at Toni
"No boys alcohol is illegal until you're 21,"
"So even Alex can't drink alcohol?"
"Not legally," she says "but we do,"
The boys gasp and look at them.
"If you break the law you can go to jail," Owen says
"Thank for the help Madisyn," I say
"Always looking to help,"
"Mommy, Alex and Madi broke the law,"
"Ya mommy knows that," Toni says "I let them,"
"Can you let me?" Owen asks
"Not a chance in the world,"
"That's not fair!" TJ yells
"Wanna know a secret?" Toni asks
They nod
"It's because we like you more than madi and Alex,"
"Haha mommy doesn't love you," TJ says sticking his tongue out
"Haha we get to hold the alcohol," madi says sticking hers out
"Momma Madi is being mean," Owen says
"Tony was mean first," I say
"But Madi is older so she gets in trouble,"
"No buddy not how it works," I say ruffling his hair
"Are you going to give mommy trouble for letting Alex and Madi break the law?" TJ asks
"No I don't care,"
"Momma," tj gasps "you're supposed to be the responsible parent!"
"That was a big word," Toni says
"Mhm and it means that momma is better than you at being adult," Owen says
Fangs lines up like 5 shots in a row
"Half of those are for me," Toni says
"In your dreams Topaz," I say "you're driving and babysitting,"
"You can take 5 shots," madi says "you're old,"
I raise my eyebrow and look at her. Maintaining eye contact I down all 5 in record time.
"And That is how Cheryl dies," Toni says
"Momma is dying?" TJ asks
"I thought she wasn't sick anymore," Owen says
"It was a joke boys," Toni sighs

Toni's POV
so Cheryl just took 5 shots and contrary to what she believes, TJ probably would have a higher tolerance than her.
"Baby maybe try some water," I say
"More shots!" She slurs
"Water?" I say
She grabs the tequila
"Madi, tell your mother I'm having shots of water," she says
"Mom Cheryl is doing shots of water," madi says "I'm going to do shots of water too,"
"Hey Pea can you take the kids home?" I ask
"I want to get drunk with mom!" Madi says
"No, you can drink with Cheryl another time,"
"Fine I'll go home and drink with Alex,"
"No drinking," I say "watch your siblings,"
They roll their eyes and go outside.
"I have an idea!" Cheryl says
"What is that?"
"Something to get you around really fast," she says
Oh boy here we go.
"Like a car?"
"No a car can't take us to Europe," she says "You're lucky you're really hot, you aren't too smart,"
"Thanks babe," I say "are you thinking about a plane,"
"That's a great name," she says in awe "wow maybe I married a scholar,"
Fangs pouts her more shots.
"Bro stop pouring her shots," I say
"Only every other one is tequila, I'm using water too,"
"Only water for a bit,"
"She's having fun,"
"And I don't want to deal with a hungover wife,"
"Fine,"
We dance and hangout for a few hours before Cheryl gets tired and decides to go home.
"Baby I love you," she says getting off the bike
"I love you too Cher," I laugh
I help her inside and up the stairs.
"Is mom absolutely wasted?" Madi asks
"Yes, She is," I laugh "Alcohol is not her string suit,"
"I thought she had a better tolerance than you,"
"Not by a long shot," I say "when we were teens I drank a lot, I mean I was a bartender at 14 so that really open it up and I built up a tolerance. Cheryl never really drank so when she does it doesn't take much to get her like this,"
"We'll have fun with drunk Cheryl," Alex says
"She's passed out Cheryl now so everyone say a little prayer to the lord above us that she wakes up sober,"
"Doesn't the lord hate the gays?" Madi asks
"Shut up Madisyn the lord doesn't hate the gays,"
"Whatever you say," she says
"Go watch your brothers,"
"I think the only reason you adopted teenagers is so you never have to pay for babysitting," Alex says
"I'm paying for your education so shut it,"
"Fine I'm just not going to go to college," madi says
"I don't really care but your mother might,"
"You are our mother,"
"I meant your psychotic mother,"
They laugh and walk off.
Jesus they think they're funny.
I go into our room and have a little nap with Cheryl.
