Chapter 4: iDrop a Bomb
Freddie's POV
Well, shit. Wasn't expecting that. I just watched my two best friends kiss. And then go upstairs. And now, 45 minutes later, I kid you not, I just heard the words "OHHHHH, FUUUUCK CARLYYYYYYY" loud enough to shatter glass. I didn't know Sam could sing Castrato.
So, it's a week later, now. The girls have had their first date and their talk, and... Well, things are good. We're all, that is, Carly, Sam, me, Cat, Gibby and Spencer, upstairs cleaning the iCarly Studio. It was never touched after we left, Spencer wanting to retain some remnants of the past. But that meant it was dusty. And Sam MAY have left a butter sock up here that spoiled the last 4 years. Big time.
"Ohhhh, my God, that smell is finally gone!," Sam shouted, taking in a large whiff of the summer air blowing in once the smell had disappeared.
Carly spoke up next. "Honey, maybe we should put a ban on all dairy-filled footwear up here for the foreseeable future?
"I second that."
"No more butter socks, Puckle!" "IT'S PUCKETT!"
"Yeaaaaah, I'm with the others."
"Gibbeeeeeeeh. Also yes. Please, God, yes."
That was Spencer, Cat, me and Gibby, respectively.
"Oh, come on, it was only one! ... Fiiiine."
Carly's POV
"Can the show start now?! Please?! Pretty, pretty please?!" Cat is so hilariously hyperactive...
"Not yet, Freddie has to send out a tweet to alert the followers of the show's Twitter account. Give it a couple hours."
"Alright... Sam, can you come with me to Wellgrey's?"
"What for, Kitty Cat?"
"It.. It's sorta private. Can we just...?"
"Uhhh... Yeah, sure."
They bounded out, but not before Sam gave me a kiss. I will NEVER get entirely used to that. "Wonder what that's about.," I said to Freddie. Gibby and Spencer were busy cleaning the racebar bed in the corner, so we could talk.
"I... I might have an idea."
"What's up with her?"
"Well..."
~~~Flashback~~~
"... I see it, too. They LOOK fine, but... Something happened upstairs. Something... Not good."
"I know when Sam feels dejected-"
"-Dejected? Wow."
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
"Nothing, nothing. Just... Didn't expect that word is all. Anyways, Sam, dejected...?"
"Oh, yeah. She seems fine, but she tends to do something... Painful when she can't hold it anymore."
"She won't do that to Carly. They're best friends. Sam once accidentally backhanded Carly and cuddled her until the pain went away, then waited on Carly for a week before she felt better."
"Hmm... I think I'm gonna go to bed... Care to join me?"
"imsorrywhat"
"Hehe! C'mon... I'm..." She whispered this part," ...Horny. Hehe!"
"Uh... I... Buh..."
~~~Flashforward~~~
"...I mean, I was sputtering, but I obviously got up, 'cause next thing I knew, Cat's shirt and bra were off and we were kissing."
"And... Then you fucked? On SPENCER'S bed?" I couldn't believe my ears...
"Shhhh! Yes, okay? And while I'm ashamed of WHERE we did it, I'm not ashamed that we DID. She's a sweet girl, and... What'd you say about kissing Sam? There were sparks, your blood pressure felt like it went sky-rocketing, your heart-rate increased? I felt that when I kissed her. And she said she felt it when she kissed me. So, yes, long story short, we drunkenly had sex without a condom and Cat might be pregnant."
"So... What're you gonna do?"
"Whaddyou mean? If you're asking if I'm gonna stay with her through it, Hell yes I am. I'm not like Jake."
"JAKE? He's a dad?!"
"Should be. As soon as he found out Stephanie was pregnant, he took off. Last I heard, he's making ends meet as a male stripper in Vegas."
"Poor bastard..." Man, what have I missed the last 4 years?
Outside Wellgrey's Pharmacy, Sam's POV
"YOU'RE HERE FOR A WHAT?!"
Did Cat seriously say what I THINK she did?!
"Eeep! meandfreddiehadsextheothernightandithinkimpregnantimissedmyperiod!"
I couldn't speak. I was fumed. Yes, I finally have the girl of my dreams, and Cat's taken Carly's place as my non-romantic best friend, but... He's still my ex!
"... Sammy?"
"Cat... Go get your test. If I so much as see a HAIR of you in the next 25 minutes, I'll drive back to Carly's and get a butter sock. And you know-" I think she was gone as soon as I said "Butter."
Cat came back, like... Iunno, half an hour later? She was sheepish, but I'd had time to think, so...
"Cat... IT's alright. I had no right to flip on you. You may be a wazzbag for not mentioning it 'til now, but... I have the woman of my dreams, I have no right or claim to Freddie. " I barely got the words out before she leaned over the center console and hugged me. Yeah, I said console. I borrowed Carly's car. I aint riding my motorcycle in pouring rain, fuck that chiz. "Not a hugger! ... Unless it's Carly."
"Sorry."
"Hey, where's your test?"
"... I took it." She slipped it, opened, out of her pocket and showed me... Sure enough. Positive.
"... Like I said. No claim to Freddie. Congratulations, Volleyteen."
"It's Valentine!"
"See how it feels?"
"Ohhhh, hehehe!"
