iHave the Baby
Chapter 2: Preparing the Club
Meanwhile, down at the Tropicana Babalu nightclub, Freddie was helping get the pace ready for the show that would be taking place that night. After he finished twisting in the last lightbulb, Freddie saw a surprise visitor happily approach him. "Yo, what up, Fredward?"
Freddie chuckled, and he gave his best guy friend, Shane, a brother-like hug. "Nice of you to visit me, Shane."
Shane grinned, and said, "Well, it was either come here or stay with my wife [Sam Puckett, who was Carly's BFF], who was acting all hungry and stuff."
The young manager laughed, but he stopped after Shane asked, "Are you still doing the Nightmare Show tonight?"
Freddie nodded his head. "Yeah, because if I do a great job, Mr. Littlefield [the owner of the club] will give me a raise. Besides, with the new baby coming, me and Carly are definitely gonna need the extra cash!"
Shane suddenly had an idea that made him laugh. "I bet you're glad that Carls won't be trying to get into the show tonight, like usual."
"That was before she was pregnant," reminded Freddie. "Besides, after the Barbershop quartet, I don't think I'll ever let her in any of my shows again!"
"Oh, take a deep breath, Fredward..." Shane rolled his eyes. "I thought we all did really good... and, besides, we deserved shaving cream in our mouths after the way you had me and Sam treat her!"
Freddie was about to argue with him, but he remembered what he'd said to Carly, and he cried, "Ay caramba! I have to get home!"
The young man ran toward the exit, almost hitting one of the workers, and Shane started laughing as he ran after his best friend. "Hold up, Freddie!"
