New York Style
Chapter three
(The Great Debates)
Me and Toni and very proactive people. If we decide we want to do something, especially when we are doing it together, we like to start right away. But we decided this would be best to wait on, so we held off until December to start the process, which probably isn't the best idea because of holiday stress. But we did it anyway.
There was adoption. Which as much as we would love to provide a home for one of those great kids, we decided we wanted one of our own. So we ruled that option out.
There was surrogacy. Which would seem like a great option considering the busy lives that we live wouldn't have to slow down. But we decided that we wanted to be involved in the pregnancy, not just like ordering a baby kinda thing. Plus with us being higher profile people, keeping our surrogate safe and away from the public eye could be a challenge.
Then there was one of us carrying. This option had it's cons, like one of us having to slow down our fast paced, constantly moving lives. But it checked off all of our main points. It would be one of our own, and we would be heavily involved in the pregnancy. The big debate was who would be carrying. Which was what we were arguing about right now…
"But T, I can't be running a company while carrying a baby, people will see me as, soft." I said while cringing. That was the one thing I had brought over from Riverdale, my HBIC status, and I certainly didn't want to lose that.
"Yes you could, if anything you'd be viewed as a stronger person, plus I can't carry while running all over the city and having to climb things and get into weird positions for shots, plus plus you'd be the world's cutest pregnant person." She said with a pout.
We had been debating this issue for about 45 minutes now, back and forth with different reasons why the other one should carry. I guess neither one of us wanted to slow ourselves down, because I knew both of us wouldn't mind being pregnant if it weren't for that.
I knew this was a battle I was going to lose. She was right she couldn't continue to work while being pregnant. While I spend most of my day sitting at my desk, or sitting in meetings. Plus, I guess I would make a pretty cute pregnant lady. So I made the mental decision to cave and allow myself to carry the baby.
"I guess you're right, but you have to make all the three AM runs for random shit." I say while smiles begins to parallel on our faces.
"Yay! I will happily run out to get your pickles and peanut butter, but at least this is one step out of the way, now all we have to do is pick a donor and make an appointment." She said excitedly.
I laughed at her little joke, thinking to my self that I could never want that, and then I pressed a kiss to her lips. She deepened the kiss, and I did the same filling it with love and passion.
We slowly worked our way over to our bedroom, as we flopped down on our bed. Toni pressed her hands against the hem of my skirt and pulled down a little bit. I got the gesture and then after taking my skirt off pulled at her jeans so she would do the same. This little game continued until we were both in our bras and underwear.
Toni moved down and tarted to press kisses on my neck, while I let small moans escape from my lips.
"goddddd T, why are you so good at that" I said as my breathing started to get heavy.
Toni had always been a sex god. She was always had this gentleness to her, but she could also take control whenever she wanted to. We had made a mutual agreement with each other to try to not give each other hickeys.
The last time that happened I had a huge meeting the next day, and I had to go over to V's to get her to cover it up perfectly. To say she teased me about it was the understatement of the year. She still brings that day up on the random occasion just to mess with me.
Things continued to pick up, and I knew that I was going to have a fun night.
The next day..
We decided to take a break from the baby hunt and kind of slow things down a little bit. Plus we were in such a tired daze from last night we knew that we would end up making some form of a bad decision.
So today we made plans to hang out with the gang all day. Toni and I were walking over to Betty and Jughead's apartment when we stumbled upon a interesting topic.
"So are we gonna tell the gang about our situation, or wait until you're actually pregnant, because I think we should wait" she said informatively.
"I agree, I think we should wait and ask the Doctor when they recommend telling people". I said agreeing with her.
"That's a good idea, let's do that" she said just as we arrived at the building.
"perfect timing" I said with a smile.
We rang the doorbell and within seconds Jug was at the door, wearing his signature beanie, something he attempted to abandon a few years back but caved after about three days. I guess he was just born for a beanie.
"Hey Jug" Toni said with a smile.
"Hey guys, we're just hanging out in the living room, Arch and V aren't here yet, so we are just chilling"
Jug lead us into the living room where we exchanged our greetings with Betty and then took a seat. I was pretty content until I wondered what we were actually doing. If I was being honest, I was pretty sure none of us knew exactly what we were doing, so I decided to voice my concern.
"What exactly are we going to do today, it's kinda cold out so that limits our options." I said which seemed to get the others attention.
"Hmm I'm actually not sure, maybe we could ask V one she gets here, she's always full of ideas" the blonde responded. Just as Betty finished her stance the doorbell rang. "Speak of the devil" Betty followed. But Jug walked into the room with a bag from Johnny Rockets, and no Veronica and Archie.
"Seriously?! You just had to postmate?" Betty said with a giggle.
"What? I was hungry" Jug said as he shrugged his shoulders, causing Betty to roll her eyes playfully.
About 15 minutes later the door rang and this time, it was actually Veronica and Arch. V, Betty, and I discussed what we thought we would do today, while Toni and the guys went off debating about who knows what.
Toni's not really into planning things so I let her go with the boys. Knowing them, they'd end up in some silly debate that would almost always end with Toni's final statement. I swear that girl should have pursued a career in law or something.
After about 20 minutes of spitting out ideas that would suit everyone, we decided that going out to lunch and then having a movie marathon would suit us best. So we all set out on our way to our local Olive Garden, because a cold and cozy day and pasta plus cuddles was a phat yes.
After lunch, we all headed back to Betty and Jug's apartment for the movie marathon. We decided that each couple would pick a movie, then the girls would pick a movie and then the guys would pick a movie. The guys went with Top Gun. The girls went with Home alone, because it was December after and Archie went with the Blindside. Toni and I went with our all time favorite comedy,Life of the Party, and Betty and Jug went with Titanic (even though Im pretty sure that was all Betty).
We all got snuggled up on the couch and managed to watch all five movies before it got too late. But by the time we had finished talking it was almost midnight, everyone just decided to sleepover. Betty and jug had two guests room anyways, and everyone tended to keep some spare clothes at each other's places, just because of how sporadic our sleepovers can get.
Me and Toni settled in to the bed we normally took and started talking about how lucky we were, to be successful and have these amazing friends, and especially how lucky we were to have found each other. Then, for the second night in a row, I went to bed feeling extra grateful.
A/N: Hey guys! Here is the third installment in my story! I have a really good vision for where I want this story to go as of now, and I'm hoping you guys are enjoying it.
