I've notice all the iCarly kids only mention one parent in the show. Carly and Spencer with their father, and Sam and Freddie with their moms. So I started to think what happened to the other parents, and came up with my own background stories for each family.

It was the day of the annual Parents Picnic Party. And as usual Carly Shay didn't bother to go or even tell her brother about it. Spencer could have gone with her, he had gone with her before, but he was busy with a sculpture, she didn't want to bother him. Granddad lived all the way in Yakama, to come all the way here for some stupid picnic would just be a waste of gas. Her father obviously couldn't make either, being hundreds of feet down in the ocean somewhere. And then there was mom. Mom.

The former Mrs. Shay, who moved to California when Carly was about one and practically abandoned her family back in Seattle. Carly would never in a million-kabillion (yeah KAbillion) years would she ever consider her mother.

No, instead she just laid sat in the studio texting Sam. After a while Spencer walked into the iCarly studio where Carly was.

"Hey kido, I found this in the living room." Spencer was holding a crumbled up flyer

"Why didn't you tell me the Parents Picnic Party was today? You know I love picnics and enjoy events with the same repeating first letter in them." He sat in the beanbag chair next to his sister.

"I just didn't want to bother you. Since your way into that sculpture your building." Her eyes were still glued to the cell phone

"But you know I put everything down for my little sis."

Carly finally put the phone down and looked at Spencer.

"It just didn't seem that important, alright." Carly yelled

She got up and stomped towards the exit. Spencer ran after her.

"Carly wait!"

She had already gone up stairs and now stomping in the direction of her room. But Spencer ran in front of her before she could reach the door.

"Spencer please move so I could get to room."

"Not until you tell me what has you all hot and bother."

"I am not all 'hot and bothered'"

"Umm, YEAH you are." He put his arm around Carly "Now tell good 'ol bro what's making favorite sis all cranky."

"Spencer I'm your only sister." Carly pointed out

"So that would make you my favorite."

She did have to admit it did put a smile on her face. By this time they had made it to couch of the living room.

"So Carly dish."

"Well," she was looking down at the coffee table in front of them.

"The whole picnic had everyone at school taking about their dads and…"

She paused for a second "…and moms."

"Well you know they let us go years before, or you could've called up Granddad and he could have taken you if you wanted me to finish with my…"

"It's just not the same!!!" Carly interrupted, tears started to roll down her cheeks

Spencer grabbed his sister in his arms and was now cradling her.

"I know you miss dad, I know I do. But he had to go out to sea." He started stroking her hair to comfort her.

"Why did he have to leave us, why couldn't he stay here with us and be a happy family here in Seattle?" Spencer shirt was getting wet from Carly's tears

"I don't know, he just had to."

Carly stood up.

"You know this is all her fault!"

"Carly don't blame this on mom."

"But Spencer you know it's the truth. She was the one that had to leave the family and go live in California. She was that didn't want to have the bourdon of raising kids and left us with Granddad until you were old enough to live on your own, and even then she didn't want me."

Carly was almost screaming, she was so yelling so loud.

She was currently leaning up against a wall with her knees framing her face, which was pouring out big, wet angst filled tears.

"Carly I don't want you to ever talk like that, you understand me." He made his way to Carly's location. Spencer grabbed his little sister's hands.

"Look at me Carly, look at me!"

She lifted her head up and looked at her brother straight in the eyes.

"Don't you ever think you were the reason why mom left."

"But if it wasn't for me you all could have been a happy family together." She was starting to hiccup, she was crying that hard.

"Carly listen to me, I love you, Granddad loves you, dad loves you, mom loves you, we all love you so much there would be enough to fill the entire universe like, ten times!!!"

She was starting to calm down a little.

"If you didn't exist who knows where I'd be. I wouldn't have the best, most amazing little sister anyone could ask for. Mom has no idea what she walked out on. You're the best thing that could have ever happened to our family."

"Really?" She finally stopped crying and her tears were drying.

"Oh yeah. Believe me if it was just me mom and dad it would have been a million times worst. You're my life saver from living like that."

"Oh Spencer I love!" She opened her arms and embraced in a hug.

"You're the best brother a girl could ask for." She kissed his cheek, drying his own tears he had produced.

They stayed hugging for a while until there was a knock at the door.

Both looked at the door.

"You go up stairs and wash your face. I'll get the door."

"Okay." She chuckled

Carly ran up stairs and Spencer answered the door.

"Mrs. Benson?"

"Hi Spencer. I thought I heard yelling and wanted to make sure you all were all right."

The whole time she is saying this she's looking behind Spencer to find anything that look odd, if that was possible in the Shay apartment.

"I assure you Mrs. Benson that everything is all hunky-doory!"

She looked up at his face and focused.

"Oh my, Spencer have you bee crying? What happened? Are you all right? Where's Carly, is she alright?"

"Uh we're all fine, we just had a little talk, everything is okay."

"Are you sure, if anything you could always come across the hall and get me."

She was starting to back up into her own door.

"I'm sure Mrs. Benson. Umm, bye."

She waved and Spencer shut the door.

"A strange family those Shay's" Mrs. Benson manage to say after Spencer closed his door and while she opened her door.

After talking to Freddie's mom Spencer made his way to check up on Carly to make sure everything was alright. After all this really was the first time in years they both talked about their mother and had gotten that emotion in a long time.
