Sam's mom died two weeks before this story began. She and Sam would fight a lot but they still loved each other. Now Sam's mom died and she was all alone in this world. She was put into foster care until a more permanent solution could be found. Carly loved Sam like she was a sister. She wanted Sam to be a part of her family. She decided to talk to Spenser about it. She waited until he came home.

"Spenser," she said, "you love me right?"

"Yeah. Of course I do but I'm still going to have to get mad at you"

"How about instead of getting mad at me you don't," Carly suggested hopefully

"Yeah okay," Spenser said

"I have to ask you a gigantic favor," Carly asked

"Sure what is it?"

"Spenser… Sam is like a sister to me. I love her like I would love a real sister. I… want… you… to... adopt… her"

Carly had expected a thousand reasons why he would say no. She had expected an argument. He might even point out how much trouble Sam gets into and she'd be a bad influence on Carly if he agreed. He might even try to get her to sign some agreement contract. What Carly did NOT expect however was Spenser's reaction.

"I'd be glad to," he told her.

"Big brother say what," she exclaimed

"I said I'd be glad to," Spenser repeated, "I would do anything for you. I'll call her social worker and arrange it. Did you finish your homework?"

"Not yet," Carly admitted, "I went to the Groovy Smoothie with Sam… no comment please and then we saw a movie… no comment please. I finished science, English and math but I'm having a little trouble with my art homework"

"Oh I'm good in art," Spenser said, "I can help you with your art homework"

"Remember the last time you tried to help me with art," Carly reminded him

"Yeah but I can do better," he promised.

Maybe it was only because he was doing such a great thing for Carly but Carly decided to let Spenser help her with her art homework. He actually did a fairly decent job of it.

"Thanks Spense," she said hugging him

"Now go upstairs," he said, "Freddie should be here soon to work on ICARLY rehearsals right?"

She smiled at him. That was when Freddie rang the doorbell.

"Can I come in," he said

"Yeah that's cool," Spenser said

"Freddie guess what," Carly told him excitedly, "Spenser is going to adopt Sam"

"Is he suicidal or something," Freddie asked

"Freddie," Carly said whacking him playfully on his hindquarters

Sam's foster mom dropped her off a few minutes later

"Sup"

"Hey Sam guess what?"

"Um… Fredward is moving to Neptune?"

"Sam! No. Spenser's going to adopt you"

"Wow," Sam said excitedly, "are you serious?"

"I'm totally serious," Carly said

"We're gonna be sisters," Sam and Carly exclaimed at the same time.

"I'm gonna be nauseas," Freddie teased

"Ha, ha, ha… very funny," Carly rolled her eyes

"Why would you even want that," Freddie asked

"What do you mean?"

"Sam is evil," Freddie teased

"Freddie can I talk to you for a minute alone," she said a little anger rising in her voice at the word alone.

"Sure," Freddie said

"What are you doing," Carly asked as she pulled Freddie aside.

"Protecting my best friend-"

"Freddie I'm fine-"

"Sam is my best friend. You're my best girl. If I act the way I always act she won't be reminded of what's going on"

Carly sighed. Freddie was right.

"She's been through so much," he continued, "and I see it in her eyes how much pain she's in"

"Just how is teasing her going to protect her?"

"She'll realize that nothing's changed… not in a bad way anyhow"

"Her mother died," Carly whispered in a harsh tone, "nothing's changed?"

Just then Spenser came out from the kitchen.

"Carly," he called, "Sam… it's a done deal. I talked to the social worker. Sam moves in tomorrow… foster for 6 weeks and then it's official"

Carly hugged her brother.

"I so love you," she told him

"And I love you. Now go upstairs so you guys can rehearse ICarly and when you're done we'll discuss the ins and outs of the new family dynamics"

"Spenser?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't try to sound vocabulary smart…you're art smart."

"Okay"

"No I'm serious. Spenser you're not only my brother and my 'dad' you're my best friend too."

"Aw… Carly that's so sweet"

"It's not sweet it's true. You have a sense of humor. You tell it like it is. You always know how to make a person feel better even if they're feeling terrible. You're positive and creative-"

"Okay I get it," Spenser said smiling, "we'll go positive"

"Good choice"

"Real cute," he laughed, "now you go upstairs and work on ICarly and then Sam and you and I will sit down and discuss the new arrangements"

"Okay," Carly said, "and Spense"

"Yeah?"

"I love you"

"I love you too Carly and I always will," Spenser said, "and I love Sam too".

Sam heard that and she smiled. She knew Spenser didn't love her as much as he loved Carly… or she didn't think he did anyway but it didn't matter. She was loved. That was what was important.

Later at ICarly rehersal

"Okay rehearsal in 5, 4, 3, 2" Freddie pointed

"Hi I'm Carly"

"And I'm going to be her sister"

They started jumping up and down excitedly.

"Guys… excuse me… girls… rehearsal"

They went though the wig bit and the random dancing and through it all they just kept squealing, "we're gonna be sisters"

"Hey Carls I have an idea," Sam said, "since we're gonna be sisters wouldn't it be cool if we could get the girls from sister/sister to be on ICarly"

"Yeah that would be totally awesome," Carly said, "do you think we would be able to do it"

"Oh definitely," Sam said, "doesn't Macy know them"

"Oh yeah," Carly said, "I'll totally give her a call"

Freddie called Macy. Macy called Tia and Tammra and soon everything was settled.

"Sister/Sister is going to be on Icarly," he announced.

Next up Sam, Carly and Spenser sit down and discuss the terms of Sam living in the Shay house
