"I need your help."

"Alright, with what?" He asked, sitting on the floor next to her.
Once again, they ended up in Sam's office, but this time, not at the computer. Sam sat on her lounge seat with a notebook on her lap and a pencil between her teeth. She took it out and started tapping it on the notepad rapidly.
Freddie noticed she tapped things when she was anxious. But he didn't say anything. He thought it was sexy.
"My boss…he gave me an assignment that he says only I can handle…"
"What's the assignment?"
"He wants me to write a movie script."
Freddie's eyes expanded. "Do you realize how long that'll take!?"
"I know…he's giving me two months to write it." She sighed. "This is your fault."
Freddie raised his eyebrows. "My fault?"
"Yes, your fault." She scolded him. "If you wouldn't have written such an amazing start to my love essay, I wouldn't be doing this right now."'
"Sam, I only wrote the first 74 words." He pointed out. "The rest was all you. You're the amazing and talented writer; not me."
She grimaced. "Okay…"
He smirked lightly at her. She picked up the pillow next to her and hit him playfully across the chest.
"What?"
"Stop looking at me with that stupid smirk." She hit him again, but this time harder.
"What smirk?"
"The one you always do!"
He rolled his eyes and smiled at her instead, placing a hand on her cheek.
She didn't push it away. Instead, both of them leaned forward, until the space between them was nothing.
Two over-dramatic gasps came from the doorway and Sam pushed Freddie away, knocking him into the ground.
Wow, she's really good at doing that, Freddie thought, then contorted.
The two kids would be eavesdropping.
Sam stood, embarrassed, and chased the kids downstairs, hoping to cloud their memories.
Freddie chased after them and somehow they all ended up sprawled across the couch, Sam and Freddie on either end.
Everything seemed so real in that moment.
They seemed like a real family.
Everything changed, though, when the doorbell rang.
Freddie looked over to Sam. "Were you expecting visitors?"
Sam shook her head, getting up to open the door.
"Department of Children and Families…we were recently informed by a lady from Ridgeway Elementary that you, Sam Puckett, took in Mason and Piper Green."
This is not happening, she thought.
She looked over to Freddie, a defeated look on her face. He ran over to her and peered over her shoulder and he now knew why she looked so crushed.
The DCF pushed themselves through the door and their eyes immediately locked on the children.
"Get them," One lady cried.
Mason and Piper looked terrified as two men picked them up.
Sam knew there was nothing she could do but she cried out anyway.
Freddie's heart broke at the sight. He had never seen Sam so vulnerable.
He pulled her into him as they took the kids.
Sam would never forget how Piper cried out "Mommy!"
Mommy. Piper had called Sam her mommy.
Sam couldn't bear to watch as they took Piper and Mason away.
She felt like a piece of her heart had been taken away. She cried in Freddie's chest as the door to her house was closed.
"We'll get them back, Sam," Freddie whispered in her ear. "If it's the last thing we do."

Sam woke up late the next morning with a her head lying on a bare chest and a pair of arms wrapped around her.
Memories of the previous night clouded her vision.
Suddenly, her head snapped up, and locked on the guy looking at her. "You didn't wake me?"
"I knew you wouldn't want to be woken."
"I have work…I—"
"I called you in sick to work, alright?" He calmed her down. "I took care of everything."
She sighed, running a hand through her blonde tussles. "Thanks, I'm just…under a lot of stress."
He got out of bed and walked with her downstairs.
Freddie made sure not to say anything to arouse any more tension.
"How?" Sam asked as they sat on the couch together. "How am I supposed to handle writing a movie script, going to my everyday job, work on getting the kids back, try this relationship we have—how do I do it?"
"I'm here to get through it with you. I'm not…I won't ever leave you alone. Promise." He said. "And maybe…our relationship thing should wait. We can still love each other the same, just, put it on hold until everything is situated."
Maybe it was the right time; maybe it wasn't, but she didn't care. She kissed him.
The kiss was gentle, but captivating, and he loved how all he could taste was the bacon they had just eaten for breakfast.
As their lips pulled apart, the desire became much more tempting, but neither of them thought it was safe to take that road.
Their breathing came out ragged, both of them fighting the desperation. The intensity soon washed away and they went back to working out how to get Mason and Piper back.

"Sam?" Freddie asked, walking into her room. "I was researching some stuff up on the internet and I found something."
She patted the spot on the bed next to her, gesturing for him to sit.
He sat next to her and she leaned in to look at his laptop.
"I read all this and it says if we can get James to agree to letting us adopt Mason and Piper, and we take Carly to court and show how incapable she is of taking care of them, then we could legally be the guardians of them."
Sam shook her head. "I—I can't take my best friend to court—I can't."
"Sam, do you want Pipe and Mason to be put in a foster home and possibly separated from each other?" He asked, very seriously. "You and I both know what it feels like to grow up without a dad…and in your case, basically without a mom. Do you want them to go through what we went through? No one to look up to?"
Sam shook her head. "I can't do it, nub."
Freddie rolled his eyes. "Fine, you can't do it? Then I will."
