I do not own the show or any of the characters.
Carly and Freddie stepped out their cab and out on the street in front of the high rise apartment building.
"This is it." Freddie said while looking up.
"This place is huge." Carly said also looking up at the near skyscraper.
"Yeah I can't believe he owns this." Freddie whispered, as he walked towards the building.
"Wait, he owns this?" Carly asked in surprise as she ran to catch up with Freddie.
Soon they were in the elevator on the way to the penthouse.
"Are you nervous?" Carly asked when she saw Freddie's hands shaking.
"A little bit." He admitted as he blushed.
"It's okay," Carly said as she grabbed his hand and laced her fingers through his. "I'm here for you."
Freddie took a deep breath. "Okay. I'm ready."
The elevator rang a few times, and then opened. A man in his early forties appeared before them in a pinstripe suit and shiny black shoes. He had brown hair, was about six feet tall, and he was a dead ringer for Freddie.
"Dad?" Freddie whispered as he stepped forward.
There were tears in the man's eyes as he reached forward and grabbed Freddie into an embrace.
"Son." He said quietly
"Freddie."
After a tearful reunion Freddie's father spoke up.
"Um… I made dinner… It's um… Spaghetti tacos because of... .Well you know..." he said nervously has he showed him the dining area. "I only set the table for two though. Sorry…" he looked in Carly's direction.
"Carly." She said "My names Carly."
"Of course." He laughed "I should have recognized you from the videos Freddie sent me. I'll go get you a plate, be right back."
As soon as he left the room Carly turned towards Freddie and smiled.
"He seems really nice." Carly said
"Yeah, he does." Freddie said as he sat down and held his face in one hand. "This is so unreal." He said looking out the window.
The view was spectacular. You could see the entire city of Seattle and more.
Soon his father came back, gave Carly a plate, and sat down.
"Dig in!"
After they had started eating, Freddie's dad spoke up.
"We haven't formally met; my name is Fredrick E. Pearington."
Freddie's jaw dropped. "You're the Fredrick E. Pearington? As in the Fredrick E. Pearington who founded Pear Electronics?" he asked.
"The very same." He smiled.
"Holy crap." Freddie said as he sat back. "My dad's Fredrick E. Pearington."
"You can call me Eddie," said the older man as he laughed. "Everyone does."
"I am such a big fan!" Freddie exclaimed.
"The biggest!." Carly piped in. "Freddie is great with electronics; he does AV club and all this other technological stuff that I can't even explain."
Eddies smile widened. "I guess the pear doesn't fall far from the tree."
Carly and Freddie half laughed at the terrible joke.
"Wow, I wish I could have met you sooner." Freddie said as he ate some of his spaghetti taco, "but mom wouldn't let me. I had to go to hell and high waters to find you. I've been looking for 10 years. That's why I was so into computers and junk, just so I could find you."
Eddie smiled sadly at his young son.
"How do you like it with your mother? Are you guys living well? Are you happy?" Eddie asked
"Well, sometimes my mom can be a pain in the ass, I even had to move out one time; but at the end of the day, she's all I've got." Freddie said. "But what can I say, I love her a lot."
"Freddie." He said slowly.
"Yephp" Freddie said with a mouthful of spaghetti sauce and taco shell.
"How would you like to move in with me?"
Oooh. Cliffhanger! That's right, I do those. Leave reviews or whatever. Thanks for reading!
