Chapter 2: The Vixens
Enjoy.
No One's POV
Toni can't believe she agreed to bring Tommy to school with her. Toni's nervous, even though Waldo told her that there are teen moms in the school, she didn't want anybody to know her business. Toni's heard about Cheryl being the captain and being hard on the Vixens. Toni groans to herself as she looks back at her son who's eating his banana. Tommy must keep potassium in his body.
Sweet Pea pulls up at the school with his truck and parks the car. Sweet is nervous for Toni, because Toni is the type to strike like a damn cobra if someone gets on her bad side.
Sweet Pea turns to Toni. "Are you sure about this? I know you don't want Tommy at the wyrm that much, but at least no northsider can judge you." Sweet Pea asked.
"I mean, I'm not sure really, but it keeps Tommy away from the ghoulies. I don't want my son, to see you know who." Toni said rolling her eyes.
Sweet nods. "I get, T. Call or text me if you need anything. The guys and I will crack some skulls today, if anybody messes with you, or Tommy." Sweet Pea said kissing her cheek.
"Will do." Toni winks at him before getting out of his truck. Sweet Pea unbuckles Tommy, and takes him out of the truck.
"What is this place, Uncle Pea?" Tommy asked looking at the kids who are walking inside of the school.
"This is Riverdale High school. This is where we go to school at." Sweet Pea grabs Tommy's bag out of the back as he shuts the door.
"Okay, I'm ready." Toni said fixing herself. "Let's get this day over with." Toni said walking into the school with Sweet Pea.
The walk inside and Tommy looks at all of strangers who are staring at him. Tommy sighs burning his face in Sweet Pea's neck. Toni can hear the whispers around the school, they all probably think that Sweet Pea had gotten Toni pregnant.
"I got to get to English." Toni groans opening her locker to grab her books.
"You want me to watch over him?" Sweet Pea putting his back against some lockers.
"Don't you have Math first?" Toni raises a brow at him. Sweet Pea rolls his eyes.
"All more reason not to go. Tommy's here. I'll chill in the lounge until the class is over." Sweet Pea said with smile.
"Go to class, Sweets." Toni said shutting her locker.
Sweet Pea groans. "I can't do anything. Come on little, T. Uncle Pea must go to boring 'Ol math." Sweet walks to his math class with Tommy waving at Toni.
Toni blows him a kiss, and goes to her English class.

In the gym
Toni stops in front of the double doors right in front of the gym. Toni is nervous as hell, she can't believe she's about to do this. Maybe, it won't be that hard. Tommy looks up at Toni.
"Mommy, are you okay?" Tommy asked with sad eyes. Toni looks down at her son with a sad smile.
Toni sighs. "Mommy is fine, baby. Come on let's go in." Toni said opening the doors. Both Tommy and Toni can hear music bumping off the gym walls. She sees Cheryl, Betty, and Veronica sitting at a table watching girls' tryout.
"That was horrible!" Cheryl yells in frustration. This is the 6th person who's tried out, and Cheryl is getting fed up.
"She wasn't that bad." Veronica said nervously. Cheryl turns to glare at her.
"Yes, she was. Ronnie this is the 6th person who's tried out already. I'm getting angry." Cheryl said crossing the girls name off her list.
Betty looks up, and sees Toni. "Maybe just one more." Betty said to Cheryl. Cheryl turns to look at her cousin.
"Why, my dearest cousin, should I give these heathens another shot to be on my team?" Cheryl raises a brow at Betty.
"Because, we have one person who would love to tryout." Betty said nudging her head towards Toni.
Cheryl turns to where Betty is looking at not noticing that Tommy is hiding behind Toni. "Oh, hell no, dear cousin." Cheryl said loud enough for Betty and Veronica to hear. "She's a serpent." Cheryl hisses.
Veronica rubs her temples to keep her calm. "Give her a chance, Cheryl." Veronica said getting up from her chair.
Betty gets up and walks over to Toni. "Hey, Toni. Hi, Tommy." Betty greets them with a smile.
Tommy peeks from behind Toni and smiles. "Betty!" Tommy hugs her legs. "Hi." Tommy looks up at her.
Betty smiles back at him. "Hey, buddy." Betty reaches down to ruffle his hair.
"So, Cheryl seems nice." Toni said with a nervous chuckle. Betty looks back at Cheryl who's talking to Veronica.
"Let's go introduce ourselves, shall we?" Betty takes Tommy's hand and was about to walk over to Cheryl and Ronnie.
Tommy lights up when he sees the redhead. "Cheryl!" Tommy lets go of Betty's hand and runs over to the redhead.
Cheryl looks to see Tommy running towards her. She bends down to pick him up. "Hi, Tommy." Cheryl greets with a smile. Everyone in the gym is staring at her with wide eyes, even Veronica can't believe it.
Tommy spots Veronica standing there with her mouth open in shock. "Hi. Who is this pretty lady?" Tommy asked grinning at Veronica.
Veronica blushes. "I'm Veronica, but you can call me Ronnie, cutie." Veronica ruffles his hair.
"Awesome." Tommy said laying on Cheryl's shoulder.
"What's going on Tommy?" Cheryl asked rubbing his back. She feels the 3-year-old sigh into her neck.
""Can mommy try out?" Tommy asked with his puppy dog eyes.
"Uh, who's your mommy?" Cheryl asked in confusion. Tommy points to over at Betty and Toni.
Cheryl's eyes widen. "Cousin, Betty!" Cheryl puts Tommy down and storms over to her.
"What, Cheryl?" Betty asked with a frown as she sees her cousin storming over to her. "What wrong now? Betty said in her head.
"Why didn't you tell me, that you and hobo had a child?" Cheryl taps her foot impatiently.
"Child? Cheryl...what are you….oh." Betty said looking over at Tommy who's talking to Veronica.
"Uh…Well…you see….Cheryl." Betty said nervously.
"I'm waiting dearest cousin." Cheryl crosses her arms waiting for an answer from the blonde.
"Well..." Betty gets cut off by Toni.
"He's my son, Cheryl. Tommy's my son, not Betty's and Jughead's." Toni said putting a comfort hand on Betty's shoulder. Betty let out a sigh of relief. "Tommy's three, so Betty would've gotten pregnant years ago, and the timing isn't right." Toni giggles.
Cheryl eyes widen. "Oh, well, um, I didn't know that. That makes sense. You can tryout if you want. Oh, and just because, Tommy is adorable does not give you a free pass, Topaz." Cheryl said to the young serpent.
"Got it. No freebies. I'll go get changed." Toni speeds off to the locker room to change. Cheryl walks back over to Veronica.
"He is so cute." Ronnie said gushes in awe. Tommy smiles up at the Latina.
"I'm hungry." Tommy said rubbing his stomach. Tommy has a big appetite for a 3-year-old.
"Oh, I have honey bun." Veronica said pulling the un healthy snack out of her bag.
Cheryl turns to the Latina with a raised brow. "A honey bun, Ronnie?" Cheryl asked putting her hands on her hips.
Ronnie just looks at her. "What? I have my cheat days, Cheryl." Veronica shrugs giving Tommy the snack. Tommy looks up to see his mom walking out of the locker room.
Toni walks over to them. "I'm ready." Toni said. Toni sees the honey bun in Tommy's hand. "Tommy, don't eat all of that at once, baby." Toni said opening the packet for him.
"Okay, want me to plug in your phone?" Tommy said as he takes a bit of his snack.
Toni chuckles. "Sure, baby." Toni has Tommy the phone, and he runs over to the Bluetooth radio and plugs it in.
"It's in." Tommy gives Toni a thumbs up. All the girls in the gym smile at how cute he is.
Toni get in position to do her tryout. Tommy scrolls through Toni's playlist and picks Kehlani's song Crzy. Tommy loves that song, and he sees Toni dancing to it all the time.
Toni starts to dance to the beat of the song, and Tommy starts to move his body as well. Cheryl and the girls are smiling at the two serpents as they dance. Toni opens her legs and Tommy slides right through them and they do their pose.
Everyone in the gym claps for them both. That was the best dance routine Cheryl has ever seen in her life. A 3-year-old can cheer better than half of the girls who tried out.
"There's no way you amateurs are going to top that." Cheryl said to the rest of the girls. "Congrats, Toni. You made the squad." Cheryl said with a proud smile.
Toni blushes. "Thanks, bombshell. You ready, to go honey?" Toni asked Tommy.
Tommy nods. "I want tacos for dinner." Tommy said clinging onto Toni's leg.
Toni smiles down at her son. "Okay, Tacos it is." Toni picks him up, putting Tommy on her hip.
"Mommy, can the girls come? I want them there." Tommy asked with a cute pout. Toni can never resist her son's pout.
Toni looks over at Cheryl. "Uh…I think the girls has something to do baby." Toni said kissing his nose. Tommy was about to cry until he heard Cheryl speak.
"Uh…I certainly do not have anything to do, Cha-Cha. I'm free, tonight." Cheryl said with a wink.
"I'm free tonight, too." Veronica said with a shrug. She doesn't have anything planned for tonight.
"Oh, uh…okay, then." Toni said nervously. Tommy looks between his mother and Cheryl, and smiles. He knows something is up.
"So, 7:30 okay? We're having family night, tonight." Toni said looking at the beautiful redhead.
Cheryl notices the way Toni is looking at her. "Sure. Sounds fun." Cheryl said with a smile.
Betty snaps her fingers. "I forgot about family night. Anything, you want me to bring?" Betty asked Toni.
Toni nods. "Please, bring 2 pecan pies with whipped cream. The boys never let me have any." Toni turns to look at her son.
Tommy grins. "It's good." Tommy said with a shrug. They all laugh at him.
"Hey, I can make some special sauce. I really don't have family night at my house, so it would be nice to enjoy some time with my friends." Veronica suggested.
"Yeah, that'd be great Ronnie. Um, FP's trailer is kind of small." Toni said with a chuckle.
"We can have it at my house. It's big enough." Cheryl suggested. "I wouldn't mind it, besides my mother is going to be out of town for two weeks, so might as well have some friends over." Cheryl shrugs.
"Cool, we'll be there. Come on, baby. We got to go meet Uncle Fangs." Toni said kissing his head.
"Yay. Bye!" Tommy waves at the girls.
"Bye, Tommy." The all wave back at him with a smile.
Veronica turns to look at Cheryl. "You like her, don't you?" Ronni asked Cheryl with her infamous smirk.
The redhead sighs. She knows Ronnie is going to grill her about this. "Maybe a little. She's very attractive." Cheryl said feeling those butterflies in her stomach.
"Ask her out, Cheryl. I mean it wouldn't hurt, and Tommy invited us over for family night." Betty nudges Cheryl with her elbow.
"Maybe, going on a date wouldn't be a bad thing." Cheryl starts. Cheryl wouldn't mind hanging out with Toni.
"Why do I feel a "but" coming?" Veronica asked crossing her arms as she waits for Cheryl to finish what she has to say.
"I mean what about the baby daddy? I mean how would he feel about me being around his son? Everyone damn near knows who I am, and they don't like my family." Cheryl said.
"Okay, Cheryl. All this has everything to do with your parents. Besides, I think Toni like you because she wasn't staring at us, when she was cheering, and Tommy likes you, so that's a good thing." Veronica said grabbing her bag.
"Maybe you're right V, I do need a little romance in my life. I wouldn't mind dating Toni, she's so hot." Cheryl whines.
"Cheryl, I think you should look pass the serpent stuff, Jughead is apart of them, and I love him, and he's an amazing boyfriend. I know Toni would an amazing girlfriend to you, fuck the baby daddy, because the serpents help Toni out anyway. Tommy adores you Cheryl, and you guys just met." Betty explained.
Cheryl nods. "Yeah, I know. Okay, so I'll bring the drinks. I want to make sure everything is right for Toni and Tommy." Cheryl said.
"Aww, love in the air." Veronica said putting her hand over heart.
Cheryl rolls her eyes. "Shut up, Ronnie." Cheryl pushing her playfully as they head to the locker room to change.
