So I decided that this story needed a little bit of Carly action. So here you go!
By the way, what would you like better, a fat cake or a strawberry blitz? Poll on my profile...
It took me a while to make this chapter just right... so I really hope you'll like it

It was about 8 o'clock, and I was watching Spencer and his book club friends talk about their newest read: Pride and Prejudice. It was really entertaining.
"I think that Mr. Darcy is a snob," Spencer comments, making the other ladies gasp.
"How dare you! Mr. Darcy is perfect ... and my future husband!" Penny replies.
"You realize that he's not a real person... right?" I roll my eyes, how can Spencer stand these ladies? Oh yeah, I forgot. He's a lonely single.
"He's real in my heart," she retorts.
Oh brother. I really didn't know how to answer that one.
I didn't really have anything to do because I called off a date to help Sam and Freddie get ready for their evening. They always so seem annoyed when I help them, but I can't help it! They are too cute for me not to handle.
I do want a boyfriend trust me...I don't want to end up like Spencer. It's just that well; I don't like it when Sam or Wendy tries to set me up with blind dates.
I'm not the same girl from high school anymore, the one who went crazy trying to hook up with some hot guy. I mean I'm 21 years old, I want to settle down like Freddie and Sam, maybe that's why I'm always up in their business... I'm jealous.
I want to get married; I want to have an incredible boyfriend. I guess I'm still shocked, I mean Sam and Freddie have been high school sweethearts since the beginning of senior year. Three years later and they are still together and I'm still alone.
When I was sixteen I would of never seen this coming, besides we all changed a lot since then... well at least I did. I have a perfectly good reason why I call of my dates anyways.
There is only one guy I have my eyes on. He's cute, tall, smart, handsome ... I just wish that Brad would ask me out again. I've had a huge crush on Brad since forever, but I was always way too chicken to tell anyone so. Over the years the crush sort of turned into something more serious and... I'm in love with him! And I'm pretty sure he returns the feelings, I think.
Speaking of the devil... Brad runs right into the apartment interrupting Spencer's little meeting.
"I say that Elizabeth Bennet should just realize that Mr. Darcy is right for her!" Janice says bringing me out of my deep thoughts.
"CARLY, SAM IS PREGNANT!"
What!Did I hear right? Did Brad just run into my house and yell at the top of his lungs that Sam is pregnant?
I did hear right. Because all of the ladies gasped and started chattering away about how it was meant to be and that Seddie is real and things like that. I forgot to mention... the book club is also Spencer's gossip club.
Only then did Brad seem to notice that we had company, and sheepishly glanced around the room where he stood directly in the middle of the chaos. He stepped over the book pile and came up the stairs where I was sitting and gently closed my mouth that I didn't know was hanging open. I felt shivers down the back of my spine at his touch.
"You'll catch flies," he simply says.
"What...When...HOW?"
"Umm... surly you remember grade 10 health class..."
I blushed. "No, I mean when did you find out?" And how come Brad knows before ME? I thought.
"Freddie texted me a little while ago," he shrugged.
I watched him closely. I didn't know Brad was such a good liar. I couldn't see any signs that he was bluffing, but still. It couldn't be true, how gullible did he think I was?
"I don't believe you! What a horrible prank to pull... how could you!" I felt my eyes tear up, salty water threatening to spill over. But when I looked at him I didn't see any evil smile or laugh. All I saw was a very confused look.
"You can see the text for yourself if you like. I'll join you a little later, I just ran up 8 floors worth of stairs and could really use some water." He put his Pear Phone in my palm and closed it, staring into my eyes. I could swear we were having a moment... his face close to mine, I leaned in and closed my eyes. He leaned in and closed his eyes. My heart pumping faster and faster. Okay Shay, you can do this. And just as our lips touched...
"! FIRE! THE BOOKS ARE ON FIRE!" Spencer screamed.
Startled, we both pulled away to find a pile of Pride and Prejudice books in flames.
Shit! What a wonderful way to ruin the moment, and I kissed Brad! I kissed Brad! Me and Brad sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G..." I thought all at the same time.
"I'll go... umm... pour out the fire. You can read the text it's already opened."
"You can have some of my special lemonade in the fridge when you're done!" I call.
He gets this very weird expression on his face that only lasts a few seconds, then gives me a very weak smile. "Nah, I'll just have some water... Water is good for you. Doesn't damage your brain cells..." Brad quickly runs off.
Hmm... that was weird.
I go into my room and shut the door. I unlock the Pear Phone to see a quick exchange of texts from him and Freddie. I look at the time. Last text sent at 7:35 pm.
That was almost 45 minutes ago so... maybe I got a text too. I thought hopefully. I pull out Phone from my pocket for any missed messages. But I didn't have any. I read the texts:
Hey dude, big news from Seddie
Aren't you on your special date with the "honey"?
Yes, But the "honey" is sleeping in the back.
DUDE! It's You 'did' her already? :-o
YEP :)
Why did I ask that? So what up?
Big news guess!
Aliens attacked Pini's?
Nope
You're stuck in traffic and you're bored?
No...
Sam broke off the engagement?
BRAD!
Okay, okay... so what?
Sam's Pregnant!
Wow man, didn't know you had it in you... jk congats!
You're the 1st to know.
I'm honored Freddie... I'm tearing up.
Ha ha ha. Well I just couldn't bottle it up anymore. Have to go to lake now. Bye.
Good luck.
I felt a little better considering that Freddie didn't choose Brad over me. He just needed to share the news. Besides, he probably just texted the first person in his contacts, and Brad comes before Carly.
That's when it hits me! Sam's going to have a baby! This is huge... I knew exactly what to do. After a phone call to Wendy and Gibby, I marched downstairs, the fire was gone and Spencer was making cookies, and Brad was gulping down a large glass of water. All of the book club ladies were still around. Good. We were going to need help.
"Okay everyone!" I yell in my no nonsense voice. "We are going to give Sam and Freddie a surprise congrats party in their apartment. We need a cooking staff, a decorating crew and some look outs.
We only have two and a half hours people! TWO AND A HALF HOURS! Janice, Mrs. Halaris, Danielle and Sandra you girls will decorate. If you have to, go to the 7/11 and pick up anything that might be useful. I want to be amazed, I want it to look spectacular. GO! Here's the key.
Spencer, Brad and Wendy, when she gets here, will be making cookies, cupcakes and spaghetti tacos. I made Wendy go to the Groovy Smoothies to pick up 20 smoothies. Put them in the freezer as soon as they get here! Make sure you don't bring any alcohol! GO!
Penny, Lorelei, Kara and Gibby! You will be the look outs. Here are walkie talkies so you can update every ten minutes. One will be stationed in the lobby, one in the parking lot, one outside their apartment and Gibby in the hall where the elevators are on their floor. If you see Sam and or Freddie the code is 'The bun is in the oven'. When you hear that everyone hide.
Alright, everyone let's go! We have a party to make! I'll be supervising everything, so if you have any questions, come ask me. Oh and one thing... No matter what DON'T LET MRS. BENSON KNOW!"
I smiled, this is going to be... perfect.
Yay! My longest chapter! I had a blast writing this! I know it didn't really have any Seddie, and mostly Crad. Sorry :( Don't worry! Seddie is coming!
Congrats to superchicky97 on finding the correct answer. Gibby stars as Popo in the pathetic play: The 4 Hillbillies who have dinner and constantly argue about stuff that doesn't matter at all. She requested some Mrs. Benson freak out time... DUN DUN DUHHHHH! Lol!
So please review and let me know about the story... did you like it, not like it, stuff like that :) Sorry for the loooong authors note.
