ICarly Fanfiction:

Scene Song: Too Bad—NickelBack

Spencer had walked in the house after coming from another one of his many art shows. His eyes looked up and saw what he couldn't believe. His father, Steven was in the kitchen? With Carly and Freddie and Sam? Spencer threw his jacket down on the floor and walked over into the kitchen and crosses his arms and looked at his non-existent father with anger. Carly looked at Spencer and smiled.

Carly: Spencer, look! Dad's back!

Steven walked over to Spencer and smiled.

Steven: Hey son.

Spencer: (coldly) Father. What are you coming back to stay or are you just doing your ten year check up on us.

Carly: (scolding) Spencer!

Steven: (laughs) No it's alright Carly. (sighs) Spencer, I know you're upset but come on. You know I had work. But I'm here to stay now, if you and Carly will have me.

Spencer: (coldly) No.

Carly: (Walks over and steps in between him and their dad and lightly hits Spencer's arm) Spencer STOP it. (looks at their father) Sure dad, of course we'll have you. We love you. (looks at Freddie) Freddie, could you show dad the room that's empty upstairs?

Freddie: (nods while looking at Spencer who looks beyond upset) Sure, come on Mr. Shay.

Freddie and Steven walks out the kitchen but not before Steven touches Spencer's arm and smiles amusingly.

Steven: I love you son.

Spencer: (pushes Steven away roughly and says coldly) DON'T touch me.

Carly looks at Spencer with anger. Steven scoffs and shakes his head and walks away with a smile with Freddie leading him upstairs.

Carly: Spencer, why do you have to be like that to him? He's trying to make amends. He's still our dad.

Spencer: Really? Really Carly? Because I seem to remember that's the same man who beat the CRAP out of our mother and then ran instead of facing the music! It's the SAME man who cheated on mom while she was out working LONG hours to try to support us all! The same "father" who only calls from time to time, not out of concern but just to see if we're still alive. You mean THAT dad, Carly?

Sam: (smirks) Wow, sounds a lot like my mom, only she looks good in lipstick…your dad in lipstick? No. (laughs)

Spencer: (yells) This ISN'T FUNNY SAM!

Carly: Spencer! Stop it! Why are you getting angry with Sam? Look at you, you're all upset, come on, calm down.

Sam: (looks a bit offended) Yeah I was only joking…sorry.

Spencer sighs and looks down with guilt.

Spencer: I—I'm sorry Sam. But—but this isn't a joke, alright? Our father being here is only bad news. I KNOW him Carly. You were still a child when he was here doing his dirt. He's NO GOOD.

Carly: (looks at him with disgust) I'm DONE talking about this. If you don't want to accept him, FINE. That's you, but he is still MY father, and I want him to stay here and he WILL.

Carly quickly runs out the kitchen past Spencer and up the stairs. Spencer sighs with frustration.

LATER THAT NIGHT:

Spencer walked into the kitchen and saw Steven was in there cooking while Carly and Sam were on the sofa in the living room watching television. Spencer sighed with frustration and turned and walked out. Steven walked to him quickly and grabbed his arm.

Steven: Come on, come on now son. Talk to me, please.

Spencer (yanked his arm away from him and looked with coldness at him): For what? What will you do if I don't? Slap me across the kitchen again like you did last time you were here?

Steven: (looks down with fake guilt and tears and says through fake tears) Spencer, I—I'm sorry. I—I am really trying to make amends here, that's why I came back. I—I um—(stops and wipes tears that weren't even there away) I have Cancer son and I'm try—I would like to make amends with you and Carly. Please give me a second chance son.

Spencer sighed and looked down in quiet thought. Spencer wasn't one to give in easily but for some reason his father always had this way of tugging at his heart strings. Spencer looked up at him and hugged him quickly and briefly.

Spencer: What—(sighs with a raised eyebrow) what are you cooking for dinner in here anyway?

Steven smiles and takes Spencer's hand and leads him in the kitchen and over to the stove.

Steven: My famous homemade Spaghetti with garlic. (smiles and laughs)

Spencer: (scoffs and smiles a bit) Yeah I remember that…all good but all pain for Carly. She could never take the garlic. (He and Steven laugh)

Steven: (looks at Spencer) I—I've missed you son, and I—I know I've hurt you before, emotionally and physically but I swear I've changed. I—I just need to stay here and find a job and get myself settled and be a family with you and Carly.

Spencer: (sighs and goes to the fridge and gets out a can soda and opens it and takes a few sips) Well, they're hiring at the mall at the Sharpee Style store (READERS: imaginary store name I know, lol).

Steven: (looks at Spencer with a raised eyebrow) Really? Oh—alright, yeah I know that store, well maybe tomorrow I'll go down and apply then. (hugs Spencer) Thanks Spencer. I—I love you son.

Spencer looks at him and frowns a bit, wondering how should he respond to that. Spencer hugged him back—longer than he did the first time he hugged him.

Spencer: I love you too dad. I'm sorry about before, and if you're really wanting to make a change here, then I'll help you. Alright?

Spencer let go of dad in the hug and smiled briefly. Steven smiled and patted Spencer on the back and laughed.

Steven: That's my boy.

Steven laughs and walks out the kitchen.
