ILoveChristmas
Hey!! So I was watching a Christmas film today though I can't remember what it was called and I thought. I could make a Seddie story like that. It's obviously not going to be the exact same as the film but the story line is basically the same.
Summary: Sam Puckett is a single mother, who is uptight and likes everything to be perfect. Freddie Benson is a risk taker and doesn't take anything seriously. When he befriends Sam's father at the airport, it impacts everyone's Christmas.
Chapter 1: Turkey Problems and Meeting Freddie
Sam Puckett sat on the small wooden chair with a pen and paper ready to write a list to Santa from her 6 year old daughter, Sophie. The small girl was sitting in bed cuddling her teddy and thinking hard.
"Ok write this," Sophie finally decided on what Sam was to write. "Dear Santa, I've been very, very, VERY good this year so I would like to ask for a Barbie Fantasy Castle. Thanks you, Love you lots, Sophie xxx."
Sam finished writing and looked at her daughter in surprise.
"That's it?" she wondered. "One present, don't you want dolls for the castle or something?"
Sophie shook her head with a bright smile that showed her missing front tooth.
"Nope, Gran and Grandpa bring me everything else," Sophie smiled wider and Sam gave a small laugh before kissing her daughters forehead.
"You shouldn't take advantage of your grandparents," Sam smiled. "Now get some sleep."
"Night mummy," Sophie said and lay down. Sam flicked on the bedside lamp before walking to the door.
"Goodnight sweetie," she whispered and flicked the main light off before leaving the room and quietly shutting the door.
She entered her own room and sighed as she sat down on the bed. She looked at the list she was still holding. It was such a short list and she had expected her daughter to want so much more and obviously she was going to get more than that for her but what little kid didn't want their list filled with things?
Sam sighed again and started to get ready for bed.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Sam woke up the next morning to the phone ringing loudly. She rolled over in her double bed and still half-asleep, picked up the phone sitting on her table next to her bed.
"Hello," she muttered.
"Sam, It's me," Sam heard a male voice say from the other end.
"Dad!" Sam exclaimed. "How are you? What time does your flight get in? We'll be there to pick you up, don't worry. Sophie is dying to see you and mum."
Her dad, Albert gave a small sigh.
"What's wrong?" Sam asked worried.
"There's been an issue; your mum isn't going to be able to make it. She's...well she's in the Caribbean," Albert told Sam.
Sam's eyes widened and she sat up quickly in her bed; now fully awake.
"WHAT!" she practically screamed down the phone. "But...But, she's making the turkey. I don't know how to make the turkey! What am I going to do? You know Nigel's parents are coming over on Christmas for dinner and they are expecting an incredible tasting turkey! What am I meant to do?"
Albert simply laughed.
"Sammy, you need to calm down. Take a few deep breaths. Everything is going to be fine. Now chill out, it's Christmas," he said. "Besides who cares about stuffy Nigel and his stuffy parents."
It was a known fact to Sam that her father didn't like her boyfriend or his parents. He thought they were too boring and up
"Yeah, my least favourite time of year," Sam muttered. "When are you getting here then?"
"About 3 o'clock. My flight leaves soon, I think. You know how bad I am with planes," Albert spoke and Sam rolled her eyes.
"Well I'll see you at the airport, have a nice flight and be safe," Sam told her dad. "Oh and try not to cause too much trouble."
"I'll try, promise," Albert smiled. "Love you."
"Love you too," Sam said. "Bye."
"See you," Albert said and they both hung up.

Albert Puckett stared at all the queues looking for one leading him to Seattle. He couldn't see it. He gave a sigh and tapped the nearest person on the shoulder.
The man was pretty tall and well built with brown hair and had stubble. He wore a pair of baggy jeans and a red t-shirt.
"Hey, what's up?" he asked with a grin that looked mischievous.
"I'm going to Seattle which queue should I get in?" Albert asked the young man.
"You see that big long one there?" the man pointed to a queue that was about a mile long. "You get on that one. I came here to check in earl but it was shut and I feel asleep. Woke up and found this."
Albert nodded and as he went to say something a man pushing a luggage cart banged into him and he almost fell.
"Oww! Watch it, idiot," he snapped and the man pushing it apologised before hurrying off.
Albert turned back to the young man to thank him to find him smirking at something.
"What is it?" Albert asked and the young brunette gave a small laugh.
"I know a way we can cut the line and get first class," he said. "But it's a little...oh what's the word...dishonest."
Albert leaned in interested; the young man whispered his plan into the elders' ear.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
A few moments later Albert found himself in a wheelchair being pushed by the man and walking up the other side of the line. A member of staff approached them with an annoyed look on his face.
"Just what do you think you are doing?" he asked.
"Hello," the young man smiled. "This is my uncle and I would just like to say that we are very disappointed with the manner of your colleagues' behaviour. He hit my uncle with a luggage cart and now he can't walk so we had to borrow this wheelchair. Now if you check your CCTV footage I'm positive your cameras will have caught the moment."
The worker looked absolutely shocked and then sighed.
"What do you want?" he asked and the younger man smirked.
"Take these tickets," he smiled. "And check us in. Oh and a little upgrade might be nice."
The man nodded and walked off. Albert laughed and high-fived the young guy.

Albert was sitting on the plane in first class and looked at the young man then realised he didn't know his name.
"I'm Albert Puckett," he stuck his hand out.
"Freddie Benson," Freddie shook Albert's hand with a smile.
"Nice to meet you," Albert smirked. "What's in Seattle for you?"
Freddie looked out the window for a moment then back at Albert.
"I'm actually getting on a transfer flight to San Diego, it's a bit of a journey but I'm going to meet up with an old friend and we're planning to go into business together," Freddie nodded. "What about you?"
"I'm visiting my daughter Sam and my granddaughter, Sophie. I got a picture of them here," Albert pulled out his wallet and showed Freddie a picture from earlier this year.
It was of Sam and Sophie sitting on the couch together, Sam smiled showing her perfect white teeth and Sophie laughing happily. Both of their blonde curly hair is down and where their heads are touching it's almost impossible to tell whose hair is whose.
"Cute," Freddie commented with a small smile.
Albert nodded and waited for the plane to take off.
So what do you think? Let me know !!
