New York Style
Chapter 6
"Congrautulations , you're expecting" Toni said with a smile that seemed to span a thousand miles.
"Oh my god" I whispered to my self.
I quickly stood and walked over to Toni, lightly grabbed her face and pressed the most loving kiss I've ever pressed to her lips. Once the kiss broke Toni pulled me into a big bear hug. This hug probably lasted about five minutes before we came apart. By this time we both had light tears in our eyes, tears of pure joy of course. I can't believe it. I'm pregnant. I'm having a baby, with the love of my life. Toni went down onto her knee and placed her hands onto my stomach and pressed a kiss to it.
"Hey baby, I'm one of your moms, and I just wanted to let you know how much we both love you already, and that I'm going to do anything and everything to protect and make sure you have the best life ever" she said and pressed one more kiss to my stomach. Ahh I love her.
"Let's go out to celebrate, with the gang" Toni said suddenly.
"OMG! Yes that would be so much fun" I said with a smile.
"You call Ronnie and Arch, and I call Betty and Jug" Toni suggested.
"Sounds good" I said and we parted ways.
…
Cheryl on the phone with Veronica
"Hey V" I said smiley through the phone.
"Hey Cher, what's up?" Veronica said back.
"Just wondering if yo guys wanted to go out to dinner with me and Toni, and possibly Betty and Jug, T's asking them now" I proposed.
"Oh my god of course, just let me know where and when." She said.
"Ok, maybe we can make a group decision at our place for movies on Friday" I said.
"Ooh ya that would be really good. Nice idea Cher." Veronica said.
"So we'll see you on Friday" I said
"Definetly, love you Cher" she replied
"Love you too V, see ya later"
"Bye" she said as we hung up.
I walked back into the living room justas Toni was hanging up, she shot me a thumbs up letting me know it's all set. She then flopped down on the couch and started flipping through one of the magazines on the coffee table. I walked over and sat down next to her and rested my head on her shoulder. She wrapped her arm around me and put the magazine down cuddling into me.
"So what do you want to do for dinner today babe?" Toni asked me.
"Hmm, we could always just order some stuff instead of going out, and I don't feel like cooking today" I said.
"Ya, me either" she said with a smile.
"like you can cook" I teased and rolled my eyes.
"No one has done pancakes better than me" she said with a proud smile.
"I'll give you that one" I said with a light chuckle.
"Back to my main point, what are we gonna eat today babe?"
"Hmm, how about we go out to that little Italian we always go to in little Italy" I suggested.
"That sounds so good, I could totally go for some chicken parmesan right now" Toni said as she licked her lips with a smile.
"The we better get ready, it's almost eight o'clock, and I have an early meeting tomorrow." I said.
We then went our separate ways to get dressed. I went with a red cocktail dress that topped about mid thigh, and just some simple makeup. When I walked out into the living room, Toni was wearing a mid-thigh black dress that fit her body perfectly, and her hair was up into this gorgeous ponytail. Toni had made the decision to change her hair color a couple years back, as she wanted a more professional, yet still hipster, appearance when meeting with her clients.
We walked out into the street and Toni hailed a cab for us to ride to little Italy in. It was about 10 blocks from here. We took the cab down to the area of the restaurant, and got out and walked around a little bit. Little Italy will forever be one of my favorite parts of the city. The twinkly lights strung from building to building, giving it a feeling of magic. It just felt right bing there. We arrived at the restaurant and walked in the place was small, with checkered table cloths covering the oak wood tables. We were seated and given a few minutes to make in everything tat as surrounding us. The sights the smells, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant, and most of all each other. Suddenly our waiter came over to serve us.
"Good evening ladies, my name is Daniel, I'll be your server tonight, are there any drinks I can get for you?" He greeted.
"I'll have some lemon water." Toni said.
"I'll do the same please." I said simply.
"I'll get that for you ladies right away." He said and scooted off.
I started to look through the menu when I suddenly felt eyes on me. I looked up to fine Toni gazing lovingly at me. Once she finally realized I was looking back, she looked embarrassed because she had been caught, once again. She smiled and then went to open her mouth.
"Just enjoying the view." She said with a smirk.
"What have I done to deserve you?" I asked with a smile gracing my lips.
"Oh please, what have I done to deserve you?" she said as she reached across the table to kiss me.
We ordered our food and then feel into our light conversation. Most people don't like to talk about work at the table, but in my opinion, Toni's work is an exception. The way she talks about her shots, and how she thinks of them that makes me think of beautiful art. Just like her. We ended the meal with just talking, and enjoying one another.
We payed the tab, and then spent another half-hour or so just walking around in this blissful world that was little Italy. It was like some romantic movie come to life. Eventually I started to feel quite tired, and although wanted this night to last forever, Toni certainly wasn't for tiring me out. So we took a cab home and walked to our apartment. We both changed into sweats and then collapsed onto our mattress. I guess Toni was just as tired, except she was better at hiding it.
…
It had been about a week since our amazing little Italy escape, I knew it was amazing because I was still dreaming about it. I had dreams of us going to actual Italy, and living the utterly unimaginable life. I even had one of those dreams this morning, until it was so rudely interrupted by my acid reflex waring me of what was to come. That's right, Cheryl Topaz has had her first pregnancy symptom, morning sickness.
Although, it doesn't stick to the morning. In fact, I actually feel something coming on now.
I rush over to my bathroom , rushing past my assistant, Chantel, ad heading straight to the toilet.
" , are you alright? Do you need anything" Chantel called from just outside the door.
"Umm, no thank you Chantel, although I do think that I will be heading home a little early today, considering I have no more meetings, so I'll be grabbing my things and heading out now." I said, trying to be subtle about my sickness.
"Very well, should I call the other to come pick you up, or will you be taxi-ing today?' She asked.
"Could you call Toni, just let her know it was the same thing from yesterday" I requested.
"Of course madam, I'll do that immediately." She said as she walked over to her phone and calling Toni.
…
Toni POV
I pulled up to the towering building that was Cheryl's empire. I had gotten a call about fifteen minutes earlier from Cheryl's assistant Chantel, who had told me that Cheryl needed to be picked up, and that she was vomiting a lot. Thankfully I knew the reasoning behind this, or else I would be extremely concerned. Although I did feel bad for my princess.
I knocked on the door to Cheryl's office, and she opened it with her red leather already adorn on her shoulder.
"Hey babe, not feeling so hot?" I said trying to sound casual.
"Definitely not" she said with a sigh.
I leaned in and hugged her and pressed my head into the crook of her neck and whispered, "Don't worry babe, it'll all be worth it."
I walked her out of the office and we walked to my car, as I opened the door and helped her in, and then made my way around to the other side. I turned the radio on as we cruised home, heading towards the seemingly oasis of this desert. At first I thought Cheryl was being quiet because of how she was feeling but then I looked over at her to find that she was sleeping, with the smallest of snores escaping her lips.
I pulled in to the garage of our building, and in opposition to having Cheryl wake up, I simply carry her in my arms over to the elevator, and then to the couch. I placed her down and then placed a kiss on her forehead, allowing her to rest for now.
Jut as I was about to make a coffee, my phone started to ring. I asked over to see Veronicas name lit up across the screen. I picked up immediately.
"Hey V, what's up" I said happily.
"nothing much, I feel like I haven't seen you and Cher in forever, just calling for a little life update, and wondering if you guys are still coming to our little post holiday get together at my place tonight." She asked.
Since we all got so busy with the holidays, we all came together for a little party the day be for New Year's eve, and then we go on a ski trip for the first week of the new year.
"We miss you guys, just let me check, I'm pretty sure we're still coming though." In a normal situation, Toni would ova canceled knowing hw Cheryl felt, but this get together was Cheryl's favorite of the year and if Toni had said that she couldn't go because of a little nausea, Cheryl would be pretty mad.
"Ok, just remember we are starting at six. Bye T" she said into the phone.
"Alright, I'll let you know, either way see you soon V" I said and hung up.
I walked back into the living room to see Cheryl starting to wake up. I walked over to her, and talked out going out tonight. She wanted to go, no surprise. I told her it was at six, and it was currently three, so she almost immediately got up and started to get ready. Even when she has spent the entire day feeling like crap, sh still finds the inspiration to get up and get ready for a casual party for three hours. Ahh, I love her so much.
A/N: Alright guys so that brings an end to chapter six! The next chapter is going to be the party, and probably part of the ski trip. I am going to write a little more about the other couples in the up coming chapters, because I realized that, although this is a Choni fanfic, there has been little to no involvement from the other couples. So there will be POV'S from the other characters, including some friendship team ups. But I hope you guys liked this chapter, and remember to keep smiling!
P.S.; I also wanted announce the launch of my Riverdale one shot series! The first one shot will be up December first, with bi-weekly updates. My personal favorite part about this series is that you guys make the ideas. so if you guys have any Riverdale one shot ideas, leave them in the reviews on this story, and the once the other one launches, just leave them over there! I hope you guys are excites for this, because I am!
