iCarly – Mother's Day

Sam/Melanie

Genre: Hurt/Comfort

Sam waited impatiently.

Melanie nibbled at her thumb nervously.

The two awaited the doctor's news but all at the same time feared a disastrous outcome. They wished and prayed with all their hearts that their mother would be alright. The two sat side to side on the squeaky vinyl chairs- They were clean and slightly uncomfortable. The sisters had been there for what seemed like hours and the florescent lighting was starting to make their eyes burn.

Melanie closed her eyes and thought about her present relationship with her mother. While they were not often bickering at each other like her sister often would, Melanie knew deep in her heart that instead of putting up with her mom she had in a way given up and ran to boarding school. A place with no annoying and abrasive sister and no rude and aggressive mother. Melanie shed a tear as she thought about her subtle cruelty. She may have seemed like an angel to everyone else, but she knew deep down inside the horrible things she thought.

Sam wrapped her arms around her crying sister. Sam was always the stronger of the two sisters. Sam was always the one who stood up to their mom whenever she felt "yell-y"- Sam always found herself bumping heads with her mother. She often yelled at her mother just as loudly and bickered almost as often.

They never thought a day like this would come. The day their mother grew old and ill. Who was there for her now? Would it even matter that the two daughters were there for their mother- Was it too late? Where had they been all these past years?

Sam stifled a sob as she cried with her sister. The two of them sat in regret. They both wished they could've shown their love to their mother sooner and in a better way than now.

"Ms. Puckett?" a doctor called out.

Sam and Melanie both stood to their feet and waited the doctor's news as he took a breath.

"Your mother got through surgery just fine- Would you like to see her? I'm sure she would be happy to see the both of you when she wakes up."

Sam and Melanie just nodded, wiping away their tears and following the doctor through the large double doors.
