...
"Oh My God, Guess what!"
"You go first!" Sam urged Carly Excited to tell her best friend the good news.
"Are you sure?" Carly said equally excited to announce her good news.
"Yah, what is it?"
"I'm Pregnant!" Carly said excitedly.
"Oh my god, me too" Sam said practically bouncing up and down.
"This is great! We can go shopping for baby clothes together and~"
While Carly rambled on excitedly Maxie burst through Sam's doors wheeling a baby carriage with Robin and Patrick trailing behind with little Emma. After Alexis and Sean broke up Alexis and Mac had started dating, and eventually they had gotten married so Maxie and Robin were her step sisters. The three of them had all become really close in a short amount of time.
"Carly, I have to go. I'll talk to you later" Sam said as she hung up the phone.
"Hey guys" Sam greeted as she hugged her step sisters, "She's so adorable" Sam marveled at baby Georgie
"Thanks, I do make cute kids" Maxie said smirking.
"Hi Emma" Sam said kneeling down next to the little girl.
"Hi" Emma said with a bright smile.
"You want to go upstairs and play with the boys?" she offered.
Emma nodded and ran upstairs to play with Danny and Liam. Sam led the others to the living room were Maxie lied baby Georgie down on the couch for a nap before sitting next to Robin.
"We have big news" Maxie said.
"Actually, I have something to tell you guys too" Sam replied.
"This 'ought to be good" Patrick muttered earning a glare from Robin.
"Maxie and I are pregnant" Robin said with a smile.
"Wait, what?" Sam questioned.
"Yah, we're both 4 months pregnant" Robin added excitedly as she hugged Sam.
"That's so weird, I mean I've been meaning to tell you guys that I'm pregnant too, and I just got off the phone with Carly who happens to also be pregnant." Sam said finding it odd all 4 women were pregnant at the same time.
"Carly's having another kid? You'd think she be done having kids by now. She already has like ten" Maxie muttered.
"So does John know?" Robin asked ignoring Maxie's comments.
"Yah, of course" Sam said nodding.
"And, did he say anything when you told him, or perhaps ask you something." Maxie said giving Sam a knowing look.
Sam rolled her eyes, "No" she muttered under her breath.
"So John still hasn't proposed" Patrick said quickly catching on to what they were talking about. Some how Patrick always ended up in the middle of their "Girl Talk".
Sam shook her head. John and her had been together two years already. The couple had raised Danny and Rafe together, and eventually Liam when John had gotten custody of him, and still no ring.
"Wow you'd think he'd have popped the question by now." Robin said understanding her sister's disappointment.
"Let's face it, the guy is obviously not the brightest" Patrick said shaking his head disapprovingly.
"Yah, too bad were not all as lucky as Robin to have such a bright guy like you" Maxie said sarcastically.
Patrick didn't catch on to the sarcasm and replied, "Don't feel bad Maxie, Spinelli's smart in a nerdy way"
"Thanks for cheering me up" Maxie said rolling her eyes.
"So, do you know yet?" Robin asked shooting a glance at Sam's small lump.
"No, but I think it's a girl" Sam said excitedly. After raising three boys she was really hoping she'd finally get a little girl. "So, do either of you know yet?"
"Well Patrick's dying for a boy" Robin said looking at her husband who grinned.
"Yah, I've been hoping we'll get a little Patrick J.r" He added.
"Patrick J.r.? That's an interesting name" Sam said nodding.
"Yah, interesting as in, not going to happen! That name is definitely on the "No, no" list" Maxie said grabbing a piece of paper and a pen.
"Are you really going to start discussing names so early in the pregnancy" Sam asked as Maxie started jotting down a list of names.
"Better safe then sorry! If we don't start thinking of names now I'll end up with a Spinelli J.r., and no matter how much I love Spinelli that is not happening!" Maxie ranted as she continued writing the list.
"So, you think it's a boy" Sam concluded.
Robin and Patrick began to giggle as they looked at Maxie who glared at them angrily.
"Alright, am I missing something here?" Sam questioned as she looked at the three of them.
"Can I tell her?" Patrick asked eagerly.
"No! Fine if you must know Sam there is a possibility that there is more than one child growing inside me happy!" Maxie said putting her head down in defeat.
"What?" Sam asked clearly confused.
Robin smiled before saying, "Maxie's Doctor thinks she may be having multiples"
"Multiples? Alright, how many are we talking here? Two, three~" Sam was cut off by an angry Maxie who shouted
"FIVE OKAY! I'm having five kids and I'm probably going to be the fattest mom ever! Do you know how long it's going to take to get rid of that much baby weight? I'm going to look like a whale!" Maxie cried onto Robin's shoulder as she comforted her promising she wouldn't look like a whale or any other large sea animal.
Maxie's screaming had woken up baby Georgie. Maxie tried to pick up the screaming child, but Sam brushed her off picking up the little girl saying, "It's fine, I got her"
"Look on the bright side Maxie, you'll be having so many kids you might be able to name one Patrick J.r.!" Patrick said with a sarcastic smile, earning an angry glare from Robin as Maxie began to cry harder.
"You have such a way with words" Sam mocked him as she cradled the baby girl back to sleep.
"Hey, at least it didn't take me two years and three kids to propose to my wife" Patrick shot back, regretting it when he saw Sam's face.
"Sam, ignore him. Patrick's just being an idiot! I'm sure John will propose soon" Robin assured her as Maxie sat up and took baby Georgie from her sister's arms.
"Sorry Sam" Patrick apologized, "I didn't mean to upset you. Robin's right, I'm sure John will be proposing any day now"
"It's fine Patrick, I just... I hope you guys are right" Sam sat down next to Maxie and Georgie, who had fallen asleep once again.
"We're always right" Robin assured her sister with a smile.
"Thanks, I love you guys" Sam said with a smile.
"We love you too"
...
"Hey mom" Michael greeted his mother as she opened the door to her large new home.
"Michael, Starr! It so great to see you two, please come in!" Carly hugged her son and her daughter in law as they stepped into the new house, or perhaps mansion, she had just moved into, which was surprisingly much larger then her old home.
"What do you think?" Carly asked as the two looked around in amazement.
"It's wonderful!" Starr said with a smile.
"Yah mom, it's really great" Michael added.
"Thanks baby, I'm glad you guys like it. You two are early, we weren't expecting you till later" Carly said as she motioned for the two to sit down.
"Well we just... well we have something to tell you, and it can't wait" Michael said nervously.
"What is it, you know you can tell me anything" Carly assured her son.
Before he could respond a little girl burst into the room shouting "MIKEY!".
"Hey Joc" Michael said as he hugged his little sister who bounced up and down excitedly.
"Are you and Starr going to play with me?" she asked excitedly.
"Michael and Starr can't play right now sweetie, we need to have some adult time first then I'm sure they'd be happy to play with you" Carly told the little girl who looked down disappointedly.
"Yah Joc, I promise me and your brother will play with you, we just need to talk to your mommy first. Then, we can play your favorite game" Starr said kneeling down next to the young girl.
"Tea Party?" Jocelyn asked excitedly.
"Yah tea party, right Michael" Starr said looking at her husband.
"I can't wait" Michael said putting on a fake smile. Tea party was definitely not his favorite game, but it was better than princess's.
"Yay!" Jocelyn said as she ran upstairs to go set up for the tea party.
"So, what was it you wanted to tell me?" Carly asked as soon as Jocelyn was out of sight.
"Well, mom... uh Starr is uh.." Michael trailed off as he looked to Starr for help.
"I... I'm pregnant" Starr said nervously.
Carly froze looking back and forward between the two. "You're pregnant?" she muttered shocked.
"Yah, I'm going to be a father" Michael said as he stared at his mom worried.
"That uh~" Carly was cut off when the door slammed shut as Todd Manning enter the room
"Hey Shorty what are you guys doing here..." Todd stopped when he noticed the looks on everyone face and the awkward silence in the room. His eyes finally settled on Carly.
"You told them you're pregnant! I thought you wanted to wait" he said to Carly who shook her head and mouthed "no", but it was too late.
"You're what!" shouted Starr looking between her father and Carly.
"Mom, did he just say you're pregnant?" Michael asked shocked.
"Todd! I told you not to tell anyone!" she shouted as she stood up walking twords Todd who backed away slowly.
"Hey, I didn't tell them, I thought you told them so that doesn't even count as telling! I just assumed the way everyone was acting that somebody said something important, what's going on here anyway?" Todd asked Carly who sighed as she turned back to Starr and Michael.
"YOUR daughter is pregnant!" she stated.
"WHAT! You got my daughter pregnant!" Todd said as he angrily walked up to Michael.
"Dad!" Starr said nervously when she saw how angry her father was.
"Todd" Carly said as she walked over to where he stood.
"YOU got MY mom pregnant!" Michael shouted in return.
"Uh... I have an idea why don't we just forget the last ten minutes ever happened" Todd said.
"Works for me" Carly said as Michael and Starr muttered in agreement.
"Great!" Todd said as he walked out the door.
"Uh... Let's go play tea party" Starr said grabbing Michael's hand and leading him upstairs.
"Good idea!" Michael said eager to play tea party for the first time.
After a few minutes Todd burst through the doors, "Hi Honey, nice weather we're having" He said with a smile.
"They're gone" Carly assured him causing them both to sigh with relief.
"Can you believe she's pregnant? I thought she was just letting herself go, but this is crazy! When I find out Starr's pregnant I'm going to kill him!" Todd vowed as he angrily sat down next to Carly.
"Well, it's not that bad. They are married Todd" Carly responded.
Todd rolled his eyes, "Are you kidding? I'm was completely against them getting married it took me, like forever to accept it, but this? This is unacceptable they're kids Carly! and they're having a kid!" Todd shouted.
"Todd I get that you're angry, I am too. But Starr's already been a mom, I'm surprised you weren't expecting this." Carly replied
"That's different! When Starr got pregnant with Hope I wasn't around, it was Victor's fault for being a lousy father, but I'm here now." Todd said standing up.
"Todd, calm down! You loved Hope even though Starr had her at a young age, you're going to love this baby too" Carly assured him. She wasn't used to being the voice of reason, but Todd was fuming and if he decided to kill Michael, not only would she lose her oldest son, but he would get blood all over her new carpet.
"I'm back" Michael said coming down the stairs, his face plastered with make up. "Starr will be down soon. But for now, I wanted to know if you would come to the appointment tomorrow."
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Of course! This is great!" Carly shrieked jumping up and down.
"I still don't like this" Todd muttered angrily.
"I have to go tell dad the news. Starr! We have to go!" He said grabbing his coat.
"Coming!" She said running down the stairs.
"Tell Sonny I said Hi." Said Carly.
"Uh, wrong dad. I'm going to see AJ." He said before rushing out. Carly scowled and gave her husband a hug.
...
"Hi Dad." Michael said as his Father AJ opened the door to the house he lived in with Elizabeth and their kids.
"Hi son." He said giving him a hug.
"Hi Aj!" Starr yelled excited. She was in love with AJ's little quadruplets. Speaking of them, they quickly ran in the room. "Hi guys!" Starr said to the 4 young children who were only 3.
"Don't talk to the monsters. They may start to like you. Then you'll never hear the end of it. I made that mistake a long time ago." Aj said.
When he told Elizabeth he wanted more kids he meant maybe one, but instead he got quadruplets. With Cameron and Aiden that made 6, not to mention the triplets Elizabeth was carrying now. He loved his kids, but they followed him EVERYWHERE! It got to the point where he couldn't even use the bathroom without them sitting outside the door singing the "Potty Song".
"Well, dad, we just wanted to let you know that Starr is umm.. pregnant, so yah bye." Michael said not wanting to be there too long. All those kids were just a reminder of what was to come.
"Wait Michael, Take me with you!" Aj pleaded.
"A.j., why don't I get the kids ready for you? We have to be at Carly's house by 6." Starr offered.
"Thank you, you're an angel!" A.j. thanked her.
Starr nodded as she led the kids upstairs.
"So how's life been" Michael asked awkwardly. He hadn't been able to spend much time with his dad ever since the kids were born.
"Let's just say, I'm looking forward to going to CARLY'S house. It has seriously come to that." A.j. said as he sat down on the couch.
"Really? What about Elizabeth, how's she holding up?" Michael asked.
"She's crazy" A.J whispered quietly so she couldn't hear, "Ever since she got pregnant she's be acting like a monster! Every five seconds she's All like, "FE FI FO FUM YOU'RE THE REASON THERE'S 3 KIDS IN MY TUM" and that's her excuse for like everything. I feel like her maid not her husband! The kids, there.. there crazy! They never sleep! All they do is eat and follow me around singing and trying to get me to play horsey! And they scream DADDY! all day long! You're lucky Michael Starr's only a few months pregnant, but my advice to you is to get an abortion before it's too late" A.j. warned his son.
"A.J!" Both men jumped and screamed as they turned to see a very noticeably pregnant Elizabeth. "You didn't tell me we had guest"
"Oh honey, you're awake, Yay" A.J said unenthusiastically as he turned to Michael and mouthed run. "I was just telling Michael to have lots of kids 'cause there bundles of joy"
Luckily the two were saved by Starr who walked in with the kids. Thank you, Aj mouthed to Starr leaving her confused. Michael could no longer look at his wife the same way. He was too worried his Father's fortune would come true.
"They're ready" Starr announced.
"Ready for what?" Elizabeth asked with a large smile on her face.
"Carly's Party" Starr answered ignoring A.j. waving his hands mouthing NO.
"Really, I didn't know Carly was having a party" she replied.
"But A.J said you guys were going" Starr questioned. A.j put his head in his hands, he knew he was in trouble.
"Really? A.J can I speak to you for a minute, privately!" Elizabeth said nodding to a door.
"But... that's a broom closet" he whimpered.
"Yah, it is!" she said opening the door and pushing him inside.
Once the door closed all Starr and Michael heard was A.J screaming and the sound of something, or perhaps someone, being hit with a broom. The same sounds went on for a few minutes before something snapped and everything went silent. Michael really hoped Elizabeth hadn't broken his father!
Luckily the two then walked out of the closet. Elizabeth had a large smile on her face, while A.J looked like he was fighting back tears. He had a black eye and several new bruises. In his hand he held a broken broom. "Monster" he muttered to Michael who looked nervously at Starr.
"Uh, we should get going, see you at Mom's" Michael said eager to leave.
"Wait! Son, we'll go with you! We can carpool, help save the planet! Just put the kids in the car we'll be out in a second"
"But~"
"Now, Michael!" A.J ordered.
...
"Maybe we should just go, it's been 15 minutes" Starr said looking out the car window to the house.
"Uh, um, whatever you say dear" He said nervously starting the car.
Just then A.J ran out of the house like it was about to explode. He jumped into the car looking back nervously shouting "GO!"
"Were's Elizabeth" Michael asked his father.
"She got uh... tied up in what she was doing! Now start the car and GO!"
...
"Hi, so glad you could make it!" Carly greeted her son and Starr as they entered the house. "Oh, and you brought him" she said glaring at A.J.
"Carly, always a pleasure" he greeted her with a sarcastic smile. "Where can I put these" he said nodding to the children.
"Nice to see you care so much about your children, aren't you missing a few? I thought you had at least twenty" Carly mocked.
"Cameron is at soccer practice!" A.J said as he plopped his kids on the couch for a nap next to baby Georgie and baby Derek.
"Hey Aiden, why don't you go play upstairs with Jocelyn and all the other kids" Carly offered the young boy.
Aiden nodded as he ran twords the stairs. "Hey Aiden" Todd greeted the boy as he ran past him.
"Hi" Aiden said giving him a toothy grin.
"You want some candy or something? We have a ton of food for the kids over there" Todd said pointing to a table filled with Candy, Soda, cookies, and chips.
Aiden nodded excitedly as he ran to the table. "Whoa slow down, no sugar Aiden" A.J said as he grabbed the boy who had run full speed to the table.
"You know what BJ's right. That... wouldn't be fair to your brothers and sisters!" Todd said as he grabbed a bucket of candy and handed it to A.J's children who began to devour the sugar.
"Lettme go!" Aiden said as he wiggled out of A.J's grasp and began to chomp down on a pack of M&M's.
"No! Noooooooooooo!" A.J shouted. He was already having nightmares of how the kids would act with so much sugar in their systems.
"Good idea!" Carly muttered to Todd as she smiled at him.
"I try" he responded returning the smile.
"You guys are the last one's here, everyone's begun eating already" Carly said as she led them to the dinning room where all the other guest sat down at a large table under a crystal chandelier.
Carly, Todd, Michael, Starr, and A.J all took their seats. "You have a lovely home Carly" Robin said with a smile.
"Thank you" Carly said before turning to Todd and whispering "Who invited her".
Todd shrugged and Mouthed, "I don't know" before turning to A.J. "You know D.J you should really learn to control your kids". A.J's four children ran around in their underwear with their pants on their heads trying to ride Jocelyn's new puppy. Aiden had the empty bucket of candy on his head as he banged his head against the wall.
"Oh please, like you're the kid whisperer" A.J growled annoyed, not even attempting to discipline the children.
Just then Jocelyn ran up to Todd. "Excuse me daddy, can I get a pony?" The girl asked hopefully.
"No Joc... you can get two ponies!" Todd said with a large grin.
Jocelyn jumped up and down excitedly before giving Todd a hug and saying, "Thanks Daddy, I luv you!"
A.J. rolled his eyes and tried to remember the last time one of his kids had said Excuse me, thank you, or I love you to him. Todd smirked when he saw A.J's discomfort.
"So, Todd and I have some big news, and so does Sam" Carly said turning to Sam, "Guest first" she added.
"Oh...Uh... Robin" Sam said turning to Robin who looked up nervous.
"Maxie" Robin said turning to Maxie who looked on the verge of tears.
"I'm going to be a whale" Maxie cried.
There was a long awkward silence before Todd said, "Well at least now Shamoo will have a friend" he said looking at A.J. who slapped him on the back of the head knowing that was his new nickname for Elizabeth.
Everyone burst out laughing except Maxie who glared angrily at the others.
"Alright just so you don't all get into another round of 'You go First' I'll end this now. Carly's pregnant, Sam's pregnant, Starr's pregnant, pigeon over there is probably pregnant too, and Maxie is obviously moving to join her long-lost sister Shamoo in sea world, or in other words A.J's house! Now, who wants dessert?" Todd said as he stood up.
5 Months later
"So your sure you can come by and help before the party?" Carly asked Sam. Todd and Carly were hosting a huge Christmas Party later that day. They had invited everyone, even A.j. and Elizabeth.
"I SAID I WOULD HELP SO I'M HELPING OKAY!" Sam yelled in return.
"Somebody's in a very bad mood, and don't try blaming it on hormones, that excuse stopped working 3 months ago" Carly said referring to the fact they were both 8 and a half months pregnant.
"I'M NOT IN A BAD MOOD!" Sam shouted back.
"It's John, isn't it" Carly concluded.
"Maybe" Sam whispered. Sam was only days away from giving birth and John still hadn't even brought up marriage. Sam was getting angry, and it didn't help that she was pregnant.
"Sam, I get you guys have been together a while, and he still hasn't proposed, but that's nothing to worry about! These things take time" Carly assured her.
"Really, how long did it take Todd to propose?" Sam questioned. Carly didn't answer because both her and Sam knew Todd had proposed a few months after they got together.
"Look, that doesn't matter! Maybe John just needs a little push" Carly suggested.
"I've already tried that. I've given him tons of hints, brought it up in conversations, I even paid Rafe to ask John why he hasn't popped the question! Every time he just avoids the subject! Nothing I try works!" Sam said helplessly.
"Exactly, nothing you do works! So it's time you do things my way. You've got to show John that if he's not going to make you his wife, he doesn't deserve you" Carly explained.
"What do you mean Carly?" Sam asked confused at 'Carly's Way' of doing things.
"You have to make John jealous. He'll realize if he doesn't seal the deal he's going to lose you. All you have to do is flirt a little bit with some guy and before you know it John will be proposing" Carly promised.
"It's not that simple Carly. Were am I suppose to get some guy to flirt withy and what if~" Sam was cut off by Carly who was quick to make sure Sam went with her plan.
"Easy you can use Todd! John hates Todd so it will help with the jealousy factor"
"There's just one problem with that, I hate Todd too!" Sam shouted.
"Exactly! Since you and me are friends and our kids are going to be best friends you and Todd need to start getting along! This will be like a bonding exercise." Carly assured her friend.
Sam sighed. "Could it work?", she thought. At this point she was desperate to try anything, even Carly's crazy plan.
"Fine" she muttered.
"Yay! Trust me this is going to work I~" Sam turned around to see John walk through the door.
"Look Carly, I have to go"
"Alright, good luck! Don't worry I'll alert Todd of the plan" Carly said before hanging up.
"Hey Sam, How was your day?" John asked
"Fine until somebody walked through that door a few minutes ago." She said starting the plan.
"Oh yeah I saw Patrick and Maxie on their way out." He said trying to give her a kiss, but eventually giving up on the resistant Sam.
"How was your day?" She said as she lid on the couch lazily in her gym shorts and t-shirt.
"Well not so good I mean I-" He started but Sam cut him off.
"I don't actually care, I was just being nice." She said holding up her hand. She then went back to her texting.
"Okay then. Who you texting." He said suspiciously.
"He's just a friend." She smirked seeing John's face at the word 'He'
"He?" John questioned.
"Oh, no need to make you wonder, I'm texting Todd." She said then for extra pizzazz she burst out laughing and murmured "Oh Todd."
"Sam! What are you doing texting other guys, especially manning, when we are-" John yelled.
"We are what? Dating. Well bozo if you like it then you should a put a ring on it." She said doing a mini Beyoncé dance.
"You know we're not 'just dating'" He said angrily looking out the window. "We've been together for 2 years, the best years of my life."
Even though she felt bad Sam continued on. She would do anything for that ring.
"Listen, you know it doesn't mean anything until I have 25 carrots on my finger."
"What are you a bunny!" He yelled sitting down.
"No! If I was a bunny I would have hipity hopped my way out of your life a long time ago." Sam shouted throwing down the phone.
"Hop mommy hop!" Said Danny who must've awaken from his nap.
"Danny go up stairs the grown ups are talking!" John yelled, as Rafe came down and took Danny up to his room.
"Hey, who are you to talk to him like that. He is not your son! He is the flesh and blood of the real love of my life. The one who didn't play games. Cause you know what I'm tired of being the ring less ringmaster living with Bozo the clown at the circus. I'm tired of going to the bar and being hit on cause I don't have a symbol to say back off. But most of all I am tired of being the bride's maid when I should be the one in the puffy white dress. Okay. I'm tired and soon I'm going to stop hopping along pretending like everything's fine when I still need even the cheapest smallest carrot to feed my hungry fat belly!" Sam said tears starting to come down. "I have to go to my friends Christmas dinner now, so Let me go because unlike you I don't like to keep people waiting." Sam stormed out, leaving John pale white.
"Sam." He said, but for the first time in two years, she didn't respond.
...
Todd Manning opened the door to his home to find a crying Sam. He sighed having a feeling this would be a long day.
"Where's Carly?" she asked trying to wipe away her tears when she saw who had answered the door.
"She's not home, Her and Jocelyn went shopping for tonight" he answered her.
"Oh okay, I'll go" she said turning around.
Todd sighed before grabbing her arm "Wait Sam. I'm probably going to regret this but... are you okay?" he asked her.
"I... I'm fine" She lied.
"Look Carly will be here soon, why don't you come inside. You shouldn't be driving like this, we wouldn't want you to hit some poor orphan on Christmas Eve." He said motioning for her to go inside.
"Thanks" she muttered quietly. Once inside she sat down on the couch across from Todd. For a few minutes they sat there awkwardly until Todd broke the silence.
"Do you uh, want anything to drink or eat?" he offered.
She shook her head, "I'm fine"
"You don't look fine" he muttered. He quickly caught his mistake and attempted to correct himself, "I mean you look sad and depresses not fine, not fat not fine"
Sam chose not to reply as she sat down silently. Todd wasn't good at silence. "Alright, what happened? You might as well tell me or we're going to sit here and stare at the walls for an hour"
"John... John and I broke up" she muttered quietly.
"What happened?" he asked simply.
"I don't know! It's just... we've been together 2 years and he hasn't proposed! I thought when I got pregnant that since we were finally going to have a child together he'd say something, but still nothing! I mean for the past two years I've watched everyone, even my mother get married and I'm the only one who's still 'just dating' John! I mean I know it's just a stupid ring and a few papers to be signed but I just... marrying John would seal the deal. We'd be married and we'd have our beautiful kids and we'd have our perfect family like you and Carly and everyone else! But John doesn't want that, he doesn't want me!" Sam said letting her tears fall.
Todd sat down next to her and sighed, "Look Sam first of all no couple is perfect, not even me and Carly. If John hasn't proposed it's 'cause he's not ready yet"
"How long does it take to be ready. How long do I have to wait until John's ready to marry me? I mean you proposed to Carly a few months after you got together" Sam shouted.
"Yah I did, and I proposed because it only took me a few months to know that I loved Carly and that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, and if John still hasn't decided that's what he wants with you after two years then he's an idiot and he doesn't deserve you in the first place" Todd replied.
"I'm the real idiot for falling in love with a guy who doesn't want me" Sam muttered.
"You're not an idiot Sam, you just have really bad taste in men. I mean first there was the hitman in the black t-shirt and now the stupid cop with the great hair, what's next P.J with his hundred kids and counting and his pet Shamoo?"
"A.J" She simply corrected him, "And trust me I am done with the Quatermaine brothers, Jason was probably the only sane one in that family"
"And that's saying something" Todd muttered. Sam smiled lightly.
"Thanks, for cheering me up. You're a good listener" Sam thanked him.
Todd smiled, "Does this mean were friends" He asked.
Sam sighed and rolled her eyes, "We~"
"You know because that great advice I gave you is like the type of advice a friend would give another friend, so I think that makes us friends" Todd rambled.
"If it makes you feel better, we're not enemies anymore, I guess" Sam decided.
"Good, be sure to tell Carly that because she keeps trying to get me to do 'bonding exercises' with you. Maybe now she'll just let it be. All I can hope is she doesn't try to make me be friends with John next"
"Nobody deserves to suffer through that, not even a baby switcher" Sam muttered.
"Borrower" Todd corrected her, "You did get your kid back"
...
Once Carly got home Sam had calmed down enough to help prepare for the party. When Carly asked her what was wrong she waved the question away. By 8:00 they had finished. The house was covered in Christmas decorations inside and out. In the living room stood a large Christmas tree decorated with ornaments that shadowed over the many presents for all the children who would be attending the party. Todd had hired a chef to prepare the Christmas diner, and had made sure to buy Christmas cookies for the kids as well as Candy Canes. Everything was ready for the guest, who would be arriving soon.
"The house looks amazing" Sam said looking around. She was trying to hide how nervous she was because she knew John would most likely be attending the party.
"It does, thanks so much for your help Sam" Carly said with a bright smile, "And I can't believe you two are friends now, group Hug!" Carly said as she pulled Sam and Todd in for a hug.
"Group hug!" shouted Jocelyn as she ran over to them. She wore a red and green Christmas dress with a Santa Clause hat.
"There's our little girl, you look gorgeous" Todd said as he picked up Jocelyn.
"Hey, why don't you help daddy put the star on the tree, while I help aunt Sam find a better outfit" Carly said. Sam hadn't even realized she still wore her lazy day clothes.
"Good idea, people will start arriving soon" Todd said. Carly led Sam upstairs while Todd lifted up Joc so she could put the star on the top of the Christmas tree.
"Good Job Joc" Todd said putting her down giving her a high-five. Just then the doorbell rang and Todd rushed to answer it.
Todd opened the door to see Carly's 19-year-old son Morgan holding a bag with wrapped gifts. On his head he wore reindeer antlers and he had a red glowing light on his nose.
"Hey Todd, or should I say daddy!" Morgan said happily. He tried for a hug put Todd pushed him away quickly.
"Not too close" Todd reminded him. The last time Morgan had hugged him he had stolen his wallet.
"So what's with the antlers, is that some sort of trend now?" Todd questioned.
"I'm Rudolph" Morgan said as if it were obvious.
"You really are" Todd muttered as he led Morgan to the living room.
"Morgy!" Jocelyn shouted as she ran to her older brother.
"Hey Joc, Merry Christmas!" Morgan greeted his little sister as he handed her a gift.
"Thanks Morgy! Daddy can I open it?" Jocelyn asked hopefully. Todd nodded and Jocelyn began tearing apart the paper.
"How come she can call you daddy but I can't?" Morgan asked sarcastically.
"Because, she's cuter" Todd said. Just then Carly and Sam came down the stairs. Sam had changed into a dark blue dress and matching heels.
"Morgan, I'm so glad you could make it!" Carly greeted her son as she ran and gave him a hug.
Sam walked over to Todd who was helping Joc open the Barbie doll Morgan had gotten her. "That's a cool toy Joc!" Sam said.
Jocelyn smiled, "Thanks Morgy got it for me" she said as she broke the doll out of the box.
"You look nice" Todd complimented Sam.
"Thanks" she replied with a smile.
"Guess what guys, I got you all gifts this year" Morgan said, "Even you Aunt Sam" Morgan handed her a small box that matched the one he handed his mother.
Carly opened it to reveal a necklace with a small heart-shaped locket. Carly opened it up to reveal a small picture of her, Morgan, and Jocelyn. "Sorry, I couldn't fit Michael in there" Morgan said shrugging.
"I love it baby, thank you" Carly said as she pulled her son into a hug.
"Yah, this is beautiful Morgan, thank you" Sam said. She had gotten a similar necklace with a picture of Morgan and Danny inside.
"Glad you like it, I got something for you too Todd" Morgan said handing Todd a poorly wrapped gift.
"My wallet, thanks so much" Todd said once he unwrapped it.
"Sorry, I had to pay for the gifts, and I'm a little tight on cash." Morgan sighed. "So, I'll be back I'm going to pick up Michael and Starr. I just wanted to stop by first to see if you needed help." Morgan ran out tail and all. Right as Morgan closed the door it opened again to reveal Sabrina, Milo, and Felix.
"Hohoho Merry Christmas!" Felix sang as he barged in a Santa suit. Behind him trailed Sabrina and Milo.
"Hi Mrs. Corinthos, I mean Jax, or is it -" Milo rambled nervously.
"Manning." Todd said angrily.
"Sorry. Um, Merry Christmas." Sabrina said some what cheerfully. She was dressed in a long red dress, instead of her usual elf costume.
"You look hot!" Felix said the second that his eyes landed on Sam. She smiled shyly.
"Thanks" Carly said sarcastically.
"You look good too Carly." Felix said.
"So where's John the cop with great hair, that you are so in love with. I mean you two make the cutest couple ever. Mcbam even beats Tarly. I mean I can't think of a better couple. Now only if he would only put a ring on it." Felix said despite Todd waving his hands and mouthing no.
"Um would you excuse me for a minute I have to use the bathroom." Sam turned to run but tripped. Luckily Todd though fast and caught her
"Hi friend." Todd said as his eyes met hers. Before Sam could reply The door bell rang and quickly the door opened to reavel John and the kids.
"I should've known." He murmured turning to go. Carly reacted a little too fast and threw her shoe at his head.
"Ow." He said turning to face Carly while Todd and Sam got back to there spots.
"I have another shoe and I'm not afraid to use it." Carly said as John walked in.
"Hey John." Felix said breaking the new silence.
"Hi." John said shaking his hand.
"So um, uh... how you doing Bozo." Todd said not being able to resist a punch line. Sam quickly turned and ran this time without fail.
"Please take a seat." Carly said with a forced smile.
"Todd, go talk to Sam" Carly whispered to him.
"No! I already had to listen to her whine once today, I'm not doing it again."
"Todd!" Carly glared at him and he quickly ran to find Sam. Just then the doorbell rang.
"I'm baaaaaaaaaaaccckkkkkk" Morgan sang. He had Michael, Starr, Aj, Elizabeth, and now 9 kids.
"Hey baby that suit is so handsome! Starr you make pregnancy look easy. Elizabeth you definitely look like you just came back from a vacation instead of pushing out 3 kids. And the kids still as cute as ever. And then there's A.J" Carly said as she gave her round of hugs.
"Thanks." Everyone said smiles on their faces.
"Please make yourself at home."
"You have a lovely home Carly. Sorry, I couldn't come and see it at your last party" Elizabeth said shooting an angry look at A.J.
"Yah Mom, the place looks great" Morgan added as he began to swipe some cookies that had been set out for the kids.
Sam and Todd then came down the stairs. Sam looked like she had been crying but she put a fake smile on her face. John glared at the two when he saw them walking together.
"Mommy!" Danny shouted as he ran to give his mom a hug.
"Hey buddy, you look very handsome" Sam said as she kissed her son on the cheek and gave him a tight hug.
"Hey Danny" Todd greeted the boy giving him a high-five, "Now I know were not supposed to open presents till later but.." Todd handed Danny a pack of gummibears. Danny's eyes grew wide as he grabbed the bag excitedly. Gummibears were Danny's latest obsession.
"GUMMIBEARS!" Danny began to run around happily before siting down and devouring the candy.
"Hey guys" Todd greeted the guest.
Todd hugged his daughter and Michael making sure to avoid Morgan. He said hi to all of A.J's many kids. When Todd hugged Elizabeth he asked, "So when are the babies due?"
"What do you mean I already gave birth" She said glaring at him.
"You're Pregnant again!" Todd said in shock.
"I'm not pregnant you jerk!" she shouted hitting him with her purse.
The doorbell rang and Todd quickly raced to get it. Patrick, Robin, Emma, Mac, Alexis, Kristina, Molly, Maxie, Spinelli, Dante, and Lulu all stood there holding presents. Carly quickly raced to stand behind Todd and welcome their guest.
"Hey, you all look wonderful! Merry Christmas" Carly said cheerfully. As she gave another round of hugs.
"The living room is over there, by the way quick heads up, Elizabeth is NOT pregnant" Todd said pointing to the living room. They all nodded as they went to join the rest of the guest.
"Who invited them?" Carly asked Todd.
"I don't know we really should have made a stricter guest list
...
"Alright Please somebody speak! I can't stand this silence much longer, somebody say something" Carly said after 10 minutes of silence at the diner table.
"So, Elizabeth, Are you sure you're not pregnant" Todd asked.
A.J. Grabbed Elizabeth's hand before she could slap Todd. The last thing he needed was to get kicked out before dessert.
"I can't Believe you!" John yelled.
"What did I do" Carly asked confused.
"I'm talking to Sam! Sam, I've given you everything you've asked for the past two years and you try to break up with me because of the one thing I haven't given you! It's a ring Sam, a stupid ring and you're willing to forget everything we have and end it for that stupid ring!" John yelled.
"It's not just a stupid ring John. Every women at this table has a ring on their finger because they're all married. I'm tired John." Sam said tears starting to form.
"Sam, I love you and that's all I can say right now." John said his eyes even welling up.
"Sam stop being an idiot and take him back!" Robin yelled.
"look who's talking." Maxie murmurs.
"What do you mean 'look who's talking'" Robin said putting a hand on her hip.
"I just think it's funny that you're telling Sam to take him back, cause she's over reacting, when you blew a hole in the wall when I ate your cake last week." Maxie said with a smirk.
"Well that wouldn't have happened in the first place if you and Spinelli would find your own place. especially with all those mini whales growing inside you." Robin snapped back angrily. Maxie gasped and put a hand on her surprisingly not whale looking belly.
"Oh, so it's like that. Well Robin let me tell you something, I lied that cake was soooo good, and creamy. Just the way you like it!" Maxie screamed furiously.
"How's your friend Shamoo doing Willy. By the way not too happy that you're so free!" Robin snapped back. "I knew we shouldn't have come!"
"You weren't even invited!" Carly screamed angrily.
"Yah, and don't talk about Elizabeth like that, she's right here" Todd said earning another glare from Elizabeth.
"Yes we were. I don't know why we came though. You are just in love with drama. I should've excepted something like this. Oh and by the way I lied your house is HID-E-OUS" Robin responded.
"You do not come to MY HOUSE and talk to me like this!" Carly snapped angrily.
"Your HOUSE? MY HOUSE! It came out of my wallet. I hate that you always act like everything is yours, even me, when the reality is you haven't even made it very well-known that your last name is MANNING not Corinthois. Not Jax. NOT MORGAN,QUARTURMAINE,MCBAIN, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT PEOPLE'S SICK MINDS CAN MAKE UP!" Todd yelled at his wife.
"What did you say to me?" Carly said raising a hand.
"Nothing sweetie." Todd whispered.
"I can see who the man of this house is." A.J. joked.
"Look who's talking broom closet." Todd said furious.
"You told him about how my wife.." Aj started, then mouthed 'monster'. He then continued ignoring Elizabeth's glare. "abused me." AJ said shooting an angry look at his son.
"Sorry dad, but I um, well, sorry. But hey you're the one who told Starr about how I wanted an abortion!" Michael yelled.
"WHAT!" Starr yelled furious.
"I was joking when I said that." AJ whispered.
"You wanted to abort these beautiful children?" Starr asked devastated.
"Children? As in plural?" Carly asked surprise.
"Oh, I see that I'm the parent Michael talks to now. Well for your information Michael is having 8 kids! Not one, not 2 but 8!" Aj yelled glad to annoy Carly.
"Well he only asked you for advice cause of your twenty monsters. They came out just like their mother." Todd said with a smirk.
"Oh no you- actually I don't really have any objections." AJ said.
"WHAT! AJ QUARTERMAINE INTO THE CLOSET!" Elizabeth yelled.
"But.. but that's a broom closet." Aj said getting up slowly.
"IT IS ISNT IT?!" She said shoving him in.
"Uh Oh." Todd said knowing what A.J. was in for.
"So um how's the dinner." Carly said with a fake smile. As if in trance everyone put down there spoons, or spit out what they were eating and backed away from the table. All except Morgan who continued to chomp along. "Oh my gosh do you think I poisoned the food? I'm not that evil!" Carly yelled. All of a sudden there was a Piercing scream.
"Oh no did someone's water break?" Sam asked wiping her tears.
"No that sound came from the broom closet." Maxie sighed. She then slowly- or at least as slowly as a whale can get up- tip toed over to the closet to reavel AJ crying manly tears, and Elizabeth holding a broken broom.
"WHY THE INTERUPTION? DO YOU WANT SOME TOO?" She yelled furiously to an astonished Maxie.
"No thank you mam'" Maxie said closing the door and sitting down.
"Don't take it personal that's the pregnancy hormones." Todd whispered.
"IM NOT PREGNANT!" Elizabeth screamed from the closet.
Elizabeth exited the closet and threw half the broomstick at Todd. "GET IN THERE IT'S YOUR TURN!" she shouted at him lightly hitting her hand with the broomstick.
"But A.J hasn't even started to bleed yet" Todd complained. Elizabeth ran up to him and grabbed his arm pulling him to the closet where A.J still sat nervously.
"Hey, you do NOT get to Broom closet my husband!" Carly shouted as she grabbed Todd's other arm and pulled him back to the table.
"OH YOU WANT TO GO A ROUND BLONDIE?" Elizabeth said letting go of Todd and pointing the broom stick at Carly.
"My Pleasure!" Carly replied as she picked up the other half of the broom stick and began swinging at Elizabeth.
"FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!" Chanted all the little kids and Morgan as the two women continued to fight.
"You need to put a leash on that she-devil wife of yours" Todd yelled at A.J
"You know what she may be crazy but she's still my wife and I love her so SHUT UP!" A.J yelled.
"Who's going to make me? We still have another broom!" Todd taunted A.J as he picked up a broom from the closet and waved it threateningly at A.J.
"HEY! Only my wife can beat me with a broom!" A.J said. He backed up against the table and threw a plate of food at Todd.
"FOOD FIGHT!" shouted Morgan as he through a pie from the dessert table at his brother's face. This was war now.
Carly and Elizabeth continued to battle each other with broomsticks while Todd and A.J threw spoons, forks, and cups at each other. Starr decided to try the broom closet with Michael who had mistakenly thrown a cookie at her, and luckily there were still 6 brooms left. Patrick threw food at all the random people who were fighting while Robin and Maxie sprayed whipped cream and chocolate syrup from the ice-cream station at each other and threw the remains of the Christmas cookies at one another. Mac started throwing Ice cream at Spinelli who used his place mat as a shield, Alexis tried to calm Mac down, but apparently he really hated Spinelli! Kristina and Molly apparently had a lot of pent-up anger built against each other because they were battling with mops, getting soapy water all over the place. Morgan was rummaging through Carly's Jewelry box looking for anything gold or extremely valuable while A.J's kids hung candy canes on his antlers and stuck cherries to his nose. Meanwhile Danny, Emma, Cameron, Aiden, and Jocelyn began to open their gifts since their parents payed them no attention. Throughout all this Sabrina, Felix, Milo, Dante, and Lulu hid under the table wondering why they had accepted the invitation to come here.
John and Sam stood away from the food and reverted to yelling at each other.
"Sam I still can't believe you're willing to ruin everything we have together because I won't marry you. What about the baby your carrying? What about Rafe and Danny?"
"WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE? DANNY ISN'T EVEN YOURS!" Sam shouted. They both froze and turned around. Danny stopped opening his presents and ran to the two people he believed to be his parents.
"John's not my daddy?" he said before bursting into tears crying louder than even A.J.
"THAT'S IT, STOP!" Carly shouted. As soon as she said the word everyone froze and looked at her. She had Elizabeth pinned to the ground with the broomstick to her throat, apparently Carly had more experience in the art of broomstick whacking. "EVERYONE OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
Carly had fire in her eyes and everyone immediately began to run twords the doors. Even Todd exited the building out of fear of getting a trip to the broom closet with his wife. The only one who Carly let stay inside were the kids, minus A.j.'s
"You can all stay out here until you decide to act like mature adults!" So, they all stood there in the freezing cold, shivering because none of them wore jackets. Silence hung in the air until John's cellphone rang.
" What is it?... Oh so you called just to gloat or do you want to waste more of my money?... I get it, you wont sign the stupid papers! Do you have to rub it in my face...I see how it is, FINE! You'll be hearing from my lawyer soon, just not now!" John said before hanging up.
"John who was that? What did you mean by, 'sign those papers'" Sam asked him
"Nothing" John Said. It was obvious this was a topic he did not want to discuss.
"Let me guess, that was Natalie. She called to gloat about her victory over you, and the papers she wont sign are the divorce papers you sent her." Todd said. Everyone looked at him surprised.
"Wow, how do you know all that from just a simple call?" Maxie asked him.
"I guess I just know my unfortunate niece well and can predict her actions" Todd replied.
"Oh please Manning we both know Vicky has kept you posted on Natalie's situation" John said as he rolled his eyes.
"John what's Todd talking about, what's going on?" Sam asked.
"Sam, the real reason we can't get married is because I'm still married to Natalie. I was going to propose to you last year, but when I filed the divorce papers and sent them to Natalie she said she made a mistake and that she wanted me back. When I rejected her she refused to sign the divorce papers unless I did everything she asked. For the past year I've given her money to pay all her bills and go on her crazy shopping sprees and she still refuses to sign them" John explained.
"Why didn't you just tell me John?" Sam asked confused.
"I didn't want to worry you Sam, I never thought Natalie would be so stubborn" John said as he moved to stand closer to Sam.
"You should have just told me, I would have understood... did you really say no to Natalie when she said she wanted you back?" Sam asked
"Yes Sam, I told her I couldn't be with her because I love you. And I don't have a ring right now and we might have to wait a while, but Sam I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Will you Marry me?" John said grabbing Sam's hand and kneeling down on one knee.
"Awwwwww" Everyone said as they looked at the happy couple.
"I saw it coming" Felix said snapping.
"Cheap" Todd said at the fact John had no ring.
" Of course I'll marry you!" Sam said jumping into John's arms.
"Awwwwww"
"Cheap"
"Maxie, I'm sorry I called you a whale, even pregnant you're as beautiful as ever" Robin apologized to the woman she thought of as her little sister.
"I'm sorry that when you said I was a whale you were right!" Maxie cried as she hugged Robin, "Oh and I'm sorry I ate your cake" she added.
"Michael, I'm sorry I broom closeted you! You are the best husband I could ask for, and I love you!" Starr said turning to Michael.
"I'm sorry too Starr! I Love you and I can't wait to raise our beautiful children together, all 8 of them" Michael said hugging Starr.
"Kristina, I'm sorry I crashed your car!"
"Molly, I'm sorry I crashed your car" Kristina apologized as the two sister's hugged.
"Spinelli, I'm sorry I hate you!" Mac said awkwardly hugging the small nerd.
"A.J I'm sorry I've been acting like... well a monster lately. I've just been really stressed, but I love you and our children!" Elizabeth apologized.
"No more broom closet?" A.J asked hopefully.
"No more broom closet!"
The door to the house suddenly opened and Carly stepped out. "Todd I'm sorry!" she said as if the words hurt, "I... I was wrong! This house and all the things in it aren't just mine or yours, It's ours!" Carly said happily as she hugged her husband.
"Looks like everything's back to the way it should be!" Felix said as he and Sabrina clapped for the happy ending.
"WAIT! Mommy, you still haven't told me the truth is John my daddy!" Danny said as he stepped outside.
"Of course he is honey" Sam said breaking apart from John and kneeling down in front of her son.
"NO! You're lying! Tell me da' truth or I stab myself!" Danny said pulling out a knife from the diner table.
"Danny Stop, that's not a toy!" Sam said as she attempted to take the weapon from her son.
"TELL ME!" Danny shouted angrily.
"Listen kid, you need to calm down and give the knife to your mom. Tell you what I'll even give you an Extra Large pack of Gummibears" Todd offered the boy. All eyes were on Danny.
"NO! TELL ME MOMMY! OR ELSE!" Danny shouted as he held the knife point at his throat.
"DANNY STOP!" John shouted as he ran to the little boy.
"Just tell me the truth!" Danny begged.
"Danny, that is the truth! John has taken care of you since you were a baby! He's been there for you and he's loved you, he is your father!" Sam shouted as she nervously watched her son and tried to fight back tears.
Danny broke out in tears and dropped the knife, running to hug both his parents. What no one knew was that Rafe had sneaked up behind Danny to grab the knife. The moment Danny dropped it logged right in to Rafe's hand.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Rafe shouted as he raised his hand which had a knife stuck in it.
"OH MY GOD!" Everyone shouted as they ran to help the boy.
Patrick ran and quickly ordered Rafe to sit down and remain calm. "Rafe, Stop Screaming!" Patrick ordered him.
"That... that wasn't me" Rafe barely managed to whisper.
"That was me, I think my water just broke!" Sam shouted as she sat down. John immediately ran to her side and held her hand.
"Everything's going to be fine, Rafe please stop screaming!" John said as he tried to calm his fiancé down.
"That... was... not.. me" Rafe repeated.
"That was me! My water just broke! Willy is about to be free!" Maxie shouted as she nervously sat down taking deep breaths.
"My water just broke too!" Robin shouted. Patrick left Sabrina and Felix at Rafe's side as he ran to his wife.
"Copycat" Maxie muttered as Spinelli held her hand and told her to take deep breaths.
"It's okay, It's Okay! IT'S HAPPENING! It's Happening! Uh STOP DROP AND ROLL! No uh... I don't know just breathe!" Patrick yelled as he began to panic.
"Michael! Michael! I think... Ahhhh... I think my water broke" Starr screamed as she leaned against the door trying to hold herself up.
"Oh No! Oh NO! We Need Help! We need a doctor!" Michael shouted as he ran around in circles and began to hyperventilate.
"TODD!" Carly screamed as she grabbed her husband's hand and fell to the ground, sitting down leaning against the door. "Whatever you do, Whatever happens tonight, Do NOT let these women give birth on our front lawn"
"WHY ARE ALL THE PREGNANT WOMEN GOING INTO LABOR ALL THE SUDDEN!" Morgan shouted nervously as he ran around, Carly's jewelry falling out of his pockets.
"Not All of them" Todd muttered looking at Elizabeth expectantly.
"I'm Not Pregnant!"
"Alright We need to get you all to the hospital! Just Calm down everyone! Felix, get Michael a paper bag, he's hyperventilating!" Sabrina said looking at Michael who sat down next to Starr rocking back and forward hyperventilating.
"GOT IT!" Felix said as he raced inside.
" Alright Mac, Alexis take Maxie and Spinelli in your car, Felix will go with you just in case.. A.J, Elizabeth, you take Michael and Starr. Morgan, Milo your going to have to drive Patrick and Robin. Todd, you're going to have to take Carly and Sam. Detective McBain I think you should come with me and Rafe he's in really bad condition" Sabrina said taking charge.
" I can't leave Sam" John said shaking his head.
"John... It's fine! Take care of Rafe... I'll be okay I promise... I do not intend to give birth to our child in Todd's car" Sam said. John sighed before nodding.
"Sabrina we have one problem, GH is closed" Patrick said.
"It's A HOSPITAL! It's open 24/7! " Carly shouted.
"There was some sort of poisonous gas leak. They're not letting anyone in or out." Patrick informed her.
"What about Mercy?" Elizabeth suggested.
"It's too far we wont make it" Patrick replied looking at his wife.
"I GOT IT" Lulu shouted, "There's a new little hospital by our apartment we can show you were it is" she suggested.
"I haven't heard of it, but's it's better than nothing" Patrick said.
"Alright Dante and I can go with Todd and Carly, we'll lead the way" Lulu decided.
"We'll watch the kids" Suggested Kristina and Molly.
"Good, everyone in a car now"
...
"So you come here often" Todd attempted to joke. He sat in the back seat of one of his nicer cars with Carly and Sam who were both in labor. Things were not going well.
"I hate you so much" Sam yelled in between screams as she slapped him.
"That's not a nice way to talk to your friend" Todd replied.
"YOU are not my friend!" she shouted.
"STOP THE CAR!"
"What is it?" Lulu asked as she hit the brakes.
"We are not moving another inch until Sam admits we are friends" Todd said.
"Are you crazy?" Sam shouted
"A little bit, now say it!"
"NO"
"Say it!"
"NO!"
"Say it!"
"TODD! IF I GIVE BIRTH IN OUR NEW CAR I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" Carly shouted as she kicked Lulu's chair, "NOW START THE STUPID CAR!"
"Just say it" Todd pleaded
"Fine! We're friends happy!" Sam shouted.
"Yes, you can go now!"
...
"I'm not going to make it!" Michael said as he sat down next to Starr's bedside. It had been 4 hours, and luckily everyone had made it to the hospital and most of the woman had finished giving birth except for Elizabeth who never started.
"Relax honey they'll be here soon." Starr said trying to calm down her anxious husband. They were waiting for the nurse to come back with their children.
"What if something is wrong with them? I'm going to go get the nurse."
"There will be no need to do that." Said the nurse with a slight Swedish accent, as she walked through the door.
"Where are our kids?" Michael asked.
"Um that's what I'm here to talk to you about. The babies did not make it." The woman said. She turned to go, but Michael grabbed her arm.
"What do you mean they didn't make it." Starr asked, tears forming.
"Someone will come to talk to you in a few minutes. But for now Was there any Stress, rough housing, or a bumpy ride?" The woman asked. They didn't need to answer, the looks on there faces said enough. "That's what I thought. Now please excuse me. You are not the only ones with this situation."
"What do you mean other babies didn't make it?" Starr said in between sobs.
"You all came from a Christmas party with a lot of stress, rough housing, and speeding to make it here Correct?. What do you expect?" The woman responded coldly.
"How many died?" Starr asked worried for her friends.
"I can tell you how many survived easier. One kid made it. The child of Maxie Spinelli." She said before stomping away.
"Oh my god how can this happen!" Starr shrieked crying into Michael's shoulder.
It was definitely a COLD Christmas night. With a lot of Tears, Sobs, Blame, Questions, but most of all a deep sadness that would last a life time.
