The Clown

"Ahhh!" Freddie screamed as he dropped all the groceries on the floor when he entered the house.

"Sam!"

"Sam!"

"Samantha get down here know!" Freddie yelled louder than before. Two seconds later Sam walked in slowly.

"Yes?" she asked timidly looking every where else but at Freddie.

"Wha- Wha- Wha- What is this" Freddie stuttered pointing at the gigantic object in front of him.

"It. Is. A. Clown." she said each word slowly as if she were talking to a young child. Freddie did not look amused.

"I know it's a clown!, I meant what is it doing here!" Freddie growled at her.

"No you didn't; you asked me what it was, if you had meant what is was doing here then you would have asked me that instead"

"Sam!"

"Okay, okay" she inhaled deeply before she started to explain.

"Well you see, today I took Shay to the doctors and on the way back home we passed a party store and it had the clown out side. Shay saw it and made me stop the car so that she could go look at it. She ran up to the thing and gave it a hug then started to laugh and said that it was her new best friend and just had to come with her. So it umm... came home with... her" She smiled sheepishly

"Oh gosh, you didn't steal it did you?, Sam I thought we talked about this it's no-"

"No!, I didn't steal it I bought it" Sam quickly cut him off sounding offended.

"Okay, sorry for accusing you of stealing it. But you have to return it, we can't have a huge clown in our house"

"But Freddie you should have seen her little face, the way it just lit up when she hugged the clown and called it her friend" Sam tried to plead with him.

Then Shay was heard running down the stairs, she then ran to her dad and jumped on him.

"Daddy!" she exclaimed.

"Did you meet Eddie he's my friend, mommy bought him for me today. Isn't he great?" she looked at her dad excitedly.

"Yeah I met, uhh... Eddie. But we umm.. kind of have to... talk... about him" He looked at Shay nervously.

"Okay" She grinned at him.

"You see we can't keep him" Shay's face turned into a frown.

"but he's my new friend daddy and his name is Eddie"

"I know but he's too big"

"But Daddy he's my friend, I don't make you get rid of your friends" Freddie quickly looked at Sam for help.

"Aww come on sweetie I'll buy you a normal size toy clown" Shay didn't look to convinced, so Freddie quickly looked at Sam with pleading eyes. Sam just rolled her eyes at him.

"Look honey daddy is right we cant keep him" Sam bent down on her knees to match her daughter's height.

"Why?"

"Because... because mommy is a little scared of clowns baby, and I don't think I can live with a huge clown here, but like daddy said he'll buy you a normal size toy clown and that way we can both be happy, okay?"

"Okay mommy, I'm sorry that the Eddie scares you" she gave a hug to her mother and then headed up the the stairs.

Sam stood up and turned around to look at Freddie and saw that he was looking at the ground. She went up to him and gave him a peck on the cheek

"Sorry I forgot" She whispered to him.

"It's okay, thanks for not telling her" he wrapped his arms around her.

"You're welcome, but you owe me big time, Benson" She said with a wide smile.

"Well, I think I know how to repay you know don't I" he whispered in her ear.

Sam and Freddie laid in their bed wrapped in each others arms.

"You know clowns aren't that bad"

"Well they aren't good either, at least now I wont have to see that huge thing every time I walk through the door. But seriously thank you for covering for me, it was really nice of you." he gave her temple a kiss.

" It's fine nub, Shay doesn't need to know that her daddy is a wuss" she shoved his shoulder a little.

"Hey!, I'm not a wuss. I'm just not fond of humans with an excessively amount of make up that makes them look extremely creepy" he said defensively.

"So if I put a lot of makeup on your mother will you ban her from coming to our house?" she asked Freddie with hopeful eyes.

"Sam!, she's my mother"

"Relax, I was kidding... sort of" she mumbled the last part. When Sam was about to go to sleep, Freddie got up the bed and headed for the door.

"Where are you going?"

"To the living room to watch some TV. I don't think I can sleep now that you put the image of my mother as a clown in my head"

"Okay, you are sooo not a wuss" Sam remarked sarcastically, Freddie just rolled his eyes at her.

"Goodnight" he told her before closing the door and going down stairs.

So I decide to do a few one-shots that I had in mind. At the end of each one-shot I'll put the song I was listening to while writing it although the one-shot might have nothing to with the song.

"That's Not My Name" by The Ting Tings
