Three days after Sam and Freddie's break-up, the awkwardness that had hung around them was gone. Carly, Freddie, and Spencer were thrilled by this.
"What are you doing?" Emily asked her father. He was setting up a video camera for some odd reason and wouldn't reveal why.
"You want to tell her?" Sam asked her ex-boyfriend. Carly and Spencer were downstairs talking.
"Sure. Years ago, we promised iCarly viewers that we'd have a reunion special someday. Your mother brought up the idea to do it now, and Aunt Sam and I agreed. The show will be airing in a few days, so we're rehearsing," Freddie explained to his daughter.
"Cool. Can I be a part of it?" an excited Emily questioned. She had watched every single episode of iCarly over the summer (It had taken awhile) and memorized every single segment.
Freddie, Sam, and Spencer looked at her. "Are you sure?" Spencer asked. He wouldn't have expected Emily to want to be a part of anything that Carly did.
Emily nodded. "I know every single segment and it seems like fun. Please," she begged. It would be awesome if she was a part of iCarly.
"Sure," Freddie agreed. He couldn't say no to his daughter at all, just like with Carly. Emily was his weakness. Freddie didn't mind, though.
"Yay!" Emily squealed. She bolted downstairs to the kitchen to tell Carly. Even though she disliked (Carly had been downgraded from hatred to dislike) her mother, she was so excited that she had to tell everyone.
"What's up?" Carly asked her daughter. Emily seemed really excited for some reason.
"Dad told me that I can be on iCarly," Emily explained happily and went to bolt outside.
"Where are you going, Emily?" Carly didn't want Emily getting hurt. That wasn't a good thing. She was glad that her daughter was going to be a part of iCarly.
"I'm going to tell Lewbert even though I hate him," Emily informed her mother before bolting down the hallway.
And with that, Carly went upstairs to prepare for the first iCarly in years. It was going to be fun.
XXXXXXX
Sam and Spencer were alone in the kitchen the next day. Carly was watching TV. Sam had been trying to avoid Spencer as much as she could, but it wasn't working.
"Sam, what are you doing?" Spencer asked. She was trying to avoid him, and it wasn't really working.
"What are you doing?" Sam shot back. She could play Spencer's games. Really. She didn't want to be with him anymore. Right?
"Stop avoiding the question," Spencer snapped. Neither Sam nor Spencer noticed that Carly was watching them. They also didn't know that Carly was rooting for them to get together.
"What are you talking about?" Sam deflected. This was going around in circles, but Sam didn't care. She didn't want to admit that she still loved Spencer. Wait, how had that happened? Sam thought that she wasn't in love with him anymore.
"Samantha Puckett, I still love you. I still love you more than anything. You're the best thing that ever happened to me, besides Carly. You're my soul mate. The love of my life," Spencer stressed. He normally didn't go for romantic speeches like this, but didn't care. He loved Sam too much to let her go again.
"Spence, I told you before that we wouldn't work well together. Besides, I just broke up with Freddie," Sam tried. She was right. If they had married before, they would have ended up divorced, just like her mother. Sam didn't want to end up like her mother.
"Sam, I've loved for a long time. You never loved Freddie anyway. Sam, you and Freddie weren't meant for each other. We are. Remember how happy you were when I proposed? We can have that again, Sam. I promise," Spencer told her. He really couldn't imagine his life without her.
"Say yes," Carly whispered from her new position at the kitchen counter. Why wasn't Sam saying yes yet? She needed to.
"What about you? Are you okay with our former relationship?" Sam asked her. She wasn't surprised that Carly was spying on them. Carly tended to get way too involved into things like this.
"As long as you're not with my husband, I don't care who you're with. Sam, you and Spencer should be together. It's obvious that you two love each other," Carly replied. She wanted Sam to be her sister-in-law so much. She wanted nieces and nephews from Sam and Spencer.
"I knew you would be supportive of us!" Spencer cried excitedly, but backed off when Sam glared at him.
"What about our age difference?" Sam asked. The age difference was a little big. She was twenty-nine and Spencer was forty-one.
"We're only twelve years apart, Sammy. It could be worse," Spencer pointed out. Twelve years wasn't that big of a deal.
"Marry him," Carly urged. She wanted to be Sam's matron of honor. Freddie could be Spencer's best man.
Sam and Spencer turned to stare at her. "We're good together, Sam. You can't deny that. Keeping our relationship a secret was bad, but I understand that you were scared. You don't have to be scared anymore, Sam. Everyone knows about us and they're okay with it," Spencer told her.
"I still love you so much," Sam admitted. She regretted breaking up with Spencer, but nothing could be done about that now.
"Will you marry me?" Spencer asked. He was nervous, but picking up where they left off was a good idea.
Sam nodded. "Yes, I'll marry you. Spence, I want to have your babies, unlike with Freddie. I just can't believe you've agreed to take me back after everything I'm done." She was getting ready to cry, and that was not a good thing at the moment.
"You two are really romantic," Carly sobbed. She went over and hugged her brother and future sister-in-law. She knew that Sam probably wouldn't want to cry, so crying for was a good thing. And yes, Carly was sticking with that excuse.
"You want to elope?" Sam asked her new fiancée. She didn't want a fancy wedding. Carly and Freddie hadn't even had a fancy wedding, but that had been because of two year old Emily.
Seven hours later, after a two hour plane trip, Sam and Spencer were married are flying to Vegas with Marissa Benson, Freddie, Carly, and Emily in tow.
Miss Sam Puckett had just become Mrs. Samantha Shay, and she didn't regret it. She had just married the love of her life. Spencer felt the same way.
Carly and Freddie still weren't exactly right, but at least everything else was falling back into place.
