Chapter 2: Explanations

SAM POV

I groaned as I woke up. I then realised I was lying on Carly's bed and as I sat up I immediately found Carly and Freddie standing next to the bed looking at me concerned. I then remembered why I fainted; I looked over at Carly...

"Carls...you're really pregnant".

Carly hung her head and I knew this was going to be a long explanation. Carly looked more nervous than I had ever seen her, even more so than before her fight against Shelby Marx...

"Y-yeah; I'm pregnant...I'm about six weeks along...I-I just found out today".

I sighed, Carly was the last person I expected to get pregnant at fifteen. She was always the good girl. Who could have possibly gotten her knocked up. Even as I thought it I realised the answer was right in front of me...Freddie, the dork was the father of Carly's baby. Oh he was in serious trouble now. The six weeks made sense now,ever since the dance, that was when Carly and Freddie had...done it. I stood up and was about to move towards Freddie when Carly stopped me.

"Sam, leave Freddie alone".

I stared at her incredulously.

"Carls, he's the father; he got you into this situation and..."

"I know; but Freddie's already decided to help me. Besides, it's my fault anyway".

I shook my head.

"Your fault? Carls."

"I'm the one who convinced Freddie".

I was even more surprised now. Carly was the one who had seduced Freddie into making love that night. no way. I knew Carly would keep the baby so I finally made up my mind.

"Okay Carls, if you want, I could help you out".

"Thanks Sam."

Just then Carly suddenly clamped her hand over her mouth and ran to the bathroom; morning sickness.

There was silence for a moment before I spoke to Freddie...

"Listen Freddie, I'm still mad at you for what you've done to Carly, but for her sake I'm not gonna hurt you, on one condition".

"Condition?"

"Yeah, if you ever think about abandoning Carly then I will have to hurt you".

Freddie sighed.

"Don't worry, that's not gonna happen".

Good for him. Carly came out of the bathroom and Freddie said something to Carly and left the room. I paused for a second before talking to Carly.

"So, who else knows?"

"Just Spencer, Freddie's just gone to tell his Mom what's happened".

I stared wide-eyed for a moment.

"Isn't he worried she's gonna kill him".

"Yeah, which is why he told me he'd tell her himself".

"Doesn't want you getting caught in the middle of it all?"

She nodded and I sighed and then followed Carly downstairs.

CARLY POV

I swallowed nervously as I walked downstairs. I knew what I had to do. Doing it was the problem. Once downstairs I walked over to the phone and picked it up. Spencer noticed me.

"Carly…?"

"I'm calling Dad, he has to know".

Spencer nodded and, along with Sam walked through to the kitchen leaving me standing in the living room where I could talk to Dad in private. Eventually, after talking to several other people Dad finally got on the phone.

"Hi Carly; sorry, this is a bit unexpected".

"Hey Dad…"
"Are you okay Carls, you don't sound so good".

I took a deep breath, it was now or never; Dad had to know.

"Dad, I've got something important to tell you."

"Huh, what is it?"

"I…um…I'm sorry Dad".

He sounded irritated now, just like Spencer had been when I took ages telling him the truth about what happened after the dance.

"Dad, I'm pregnant".

There was a long silence at the other end of the phone.

"Dad?"

"Y-you're…pregnant…who…how…when?"

I took a deep breath and told Dad the whole story about the dance, Freddie, what had happened and how I was six weeks along and now, the most important bit.

"I…I'm going to keep the baby Dad, I'm not getting rid of it".

"Carls; this…this is a lot to take in. Look, are you sure about this?"

"Yes I'm sure".

"What about the father; what was his name; Freddie?"

I paused briefly, confused.

"What about him?"

"It's just, I don't want you raising this baby alone Carls and…"

"Freddie would never abandon me, trust me he'll take responsibility, I know it".

"Okay, I-I have to get back to work Carly, I'll call later".

"Okay; bye".

We both hung up and, breathing a sigh of relief I put the phone back on its stand and sat down on the couch. Sam came through and sat down next to me turning the TV on.

"Spencer's making lunch, it'll be ready soon".

"Just hope I can keep it down".

Sam smiled sympathetically and we both sat down and waited. I was really worried about Freddie, how would Mrs. Benson take the news.

FREDDIE POV

I slowly looked around as I sat down on the living room couch. Mom was standing nearby waiting for me to speak. I had told her I had something important to say. I didn't want Carly here when I told Mom however, I knew she would be upset. There was a moments silence before Mom got irritated.

"Freddie; what's wrong, what's so important".

I felt myself go red as I began to explain.

"Well, Mom, you know how, after the dance six weeks ago, I told you about...you know".

Mom frowned slightly as I mentioned that, I already told her about what had happened between me and Carly that night and she took it surprisingly well. I just wondered what this news would do to her.

"Yes, I remember you telling me, why has this come up...wait."

I shifted uncomfortable as I realised Mom had so easily worked out what was going on, sure enough.

"Freddie, you got Carly pregnant?"

I hung my head.

"Yes; I...I'm not offering any excuse Mom, there isn't one".

I looked back up. Mom had sat down now and to my surprise she seemed to be a lot calmer than I had anticipated.

"So, what's Carly going to do?"
"Mom, how come you're so calm about this".

She sighed before answering...

"The last thing you and Carly need is someone lecturing you about what you've done and telling you what to do; still I'm very disappointed with you; I expected you to be more careful than this...but you still haven't answered my question".

I realised Mom was right.

"We're keeping the baby Mom. Carly won't even consider abortion and I have a feeling she's already attached to the baby".

Mom just shook her head, laughing a little.

"Yeah, that sounds like Carly".

It was quiet for a while before Mom spoke again...

"Listen, if Carly needs any help coping with morning sickness or anything like that, just tell her she can talk to me".

I nodded and then finally I was allowed to head back over to Carly's house. I saw Carly and Sam sitting on the couch, Spencer was through in the kitchen. I walked over and sat down next to Carly, she immediately lay her head on my shoulder. I then told her about everything Mom had said.

"Seriously, she's okay with it".

"Yeah, did you..."

"I've called Dad, he's not happy but he's decided to accept it".

Just then Spencer called us through to the kitchen, he had just finished making lunch.

SPENCER POV

I watched Carly carefully as we ate. I head heard her throwing up earlier, a classic pregnancy symptom, morning sickness. I had overheard that Mrs Benson had surprisingly offered her support. Carly had told me about Dad. He had also accepted it although he wasn't happy about the circumstances. I shook my head, I just hoped everything would be alright, I knew Freddie would stay with her no matter what happened. Eventually after we finished lunch all three of us headed back to watch TV. Just then the phone rang, I picked it up and, staying in the kitchen I answered it.

"Yeah".

"Spencer?"

It was Dad. I wondered why he had called.

"What is it?"

"It's about Carly".

I sighed, I knew what this was about.

"Is this about Carly being pregnant?"

"Why are you so calm about it?"

"Why are you so worked up about it?"

I heard him sigh.

"Spencer, I know what going to happen to her, this boyfriend of hers; is he…"

"Freddie's gonna stick by Carly no matter what".

There was a short pause before Dad spoke.

"I'm just concerned that she's not ready for such a big responsibility".

"What do you mean?"

Dad sighed before talking again.

"Think about it, Carly's basically become like her mother".

I realised what Dad was talking about, he and Mom had been fifteen when I was born. I shook my head.

"Don't worry Dad, I'll help her and Carly's friend Sam will help out. Freddie's mother is also helping. Carly has god knows how much support".

"Okay, listen, can you tell her, I'll be back in time for the baby being born".

"Okay".

I hung up the phone and headed through to the living room.

Carly looked up as I walked in. She knew Dad had called and was worried about what he had been saying. I smiled and told her about Dad's plan to return in time for the baby being born. She seemed to relax. The others had taken over the couch so I simply returned to my room to search through all my collection of 'junk' to try and come up with a new sculpture idea.

Stay tuned for chapter three, how will Carly and Freddie cope in school when the news leaks out.
