iCan't Believe This!
Chapter 10? WOW!
Chapter 10: iAm Shown In A Bad Light
Freddie's POV
April 2013
It's been a week since we made the gender reveal video for . Just a few days ago, the CVS news team came and got interviews from Sam, Carly, and I. The interview was originally supposed to be about the end of iCarly. But, like everything that's happened here lately, the reporter turned the whole thing into a "Sam and Freddie's Baby Interview." Tonight is the night that CVS is supposed to show the iCarly story. Hopefully they focus on iCarly ending.

Carly's POV
I sat in Sam and Freddie's apartment on the couch Spencer and I had given them for Christmas. I was nervous. VERY NERVOUS. I have a very bad feeling about that news report. 5:46pm... They would be showing the iCarly report as soon as they got back from commercial break.
"Good evening. Welcome back to CVS Evening News. I'm Stacey Gulecci. Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of speaking with the creators and stars of the very popular webshow 'iCarly'. The webshow, which is taking an indefinite hiatus starting this August, is very popular among preteens and teenagers. And that's where the problems begin."
"Problems? There's no problems with iCarly." I blurt out as the TV begins to show an iCarly clip from a couple years ago. The Cowboy and the Idiot Farm Girl. One of our classic bits.
Sam's POV
The CVS News spent the next six minutes saying how Freddie and I are bad role models because of the unexpected pregnancy. At least that's what Freddie told me. I'm not really sure what all was said because two minutes into the segment, I couldn't take it anymore. I got up and ran out the apartment with tears streaming down my face. I ran to the only place I knew I could find comfort...The iCarly Studio.
Spencer's POV
"I'm Stacey Gulecci for CVS Evening News. Goodnight."
I sat there in shock as the credits rolled. What gave them the right to say all those horrible things about Sam and Freddie?! They interviewed people on the street who did nothing but insult Sam and Freddie for being horrible role models to iCarly's audience. Freddie and Carly both had tears running down their faces. Sam ran out crying five minutes ago. They didn't deserve what CVS Evening News had said about them. I have to do SOMETHING. I need to help them glue their shattered dreams back together.
"Carly, go find Sam. Freddie, go up to the studio and fire up the equipment. I'll meet you up there in a few minutes. I'm tired of people firing at you guys. It's time we fire back."
Sam's POV
I walked into the dark studio and sat in a bean bag in the corner. I wiped tears from my face as I think about what just happened.
How could they say those things about me and Freddie? We've done what we thought was right. We haven't lied to anyone. As soon as people started getting suspicious, we came right out with the truth. Yes, I know I'm not a perfect role model. But, is there one? Yes, I wish Freddie and I had been older and married before the baby came along, but, I can't change what's happened. It's not like we planned for this to happen...It just...did.
I jump as the studio lights flash on. I look up to see Freddie walk over to his cart and turn on his equipment. He's obviously distracted. He hasn't even noticed that I'm in the room. I smirk as a twisted little plot enters my head.
"HEY, BENSON!" I yell. Freddie nearly throws the camera through the ceiling.
"Oh! My gosh, Sam! I didn't even notice you sitting over there..." He continues to nervously flip switches.
"What are you doing? It's not web-show night." I ask him as he finishes turning stuff on.
"Spencer wants to do something..." Freddie replies as a tear slides down his face.
"How bad did the segment bash us?" Do I really want to know?
"Their saying we are going to be horrible parents. They brought up your juvenile detention records and everything. The said so much bad stuff about us, I don't even want to talk about it." I could see hurt, frustration, and anger in his eyes all at once.
"Do you think we are doing the best we can? Is there a way we can make them have to eat those words? I'm tired of being the victim. It's time to show them up. I want to surprise them with how responsible we are." I ask him.
"The only thing we can do is keep going. We can't let it show that what people says upsets us." He was right.
"Anything I need to do?" I ask, ready to get to work.
"Text Carly and tell her you're here in the studio, and that we are ready to show CVS Evening News that they are wrong about us." He smiled with his impish smirk.
"I'm on it." I kissed him and got my phone out to text Carly. You mess with Sam Puckett, you get the horns.
