JJLHOTITEM1 - I wouldn't if I knew I hadn't told my best friend that I was having an affair with another person
That other night, when Sam, Freddie, and Mel dropped Carly off at Gibby's restaurant, they never did come back to pick her up. Gibby took Carly home and they had a fun night together. They are now boyfriend and girlfriend, still living seperately. Sam is now in the 8th month of her pregnancy, and was still on paid leave after the building fire.
-1:12 PM on a rainy day in 2018-
Sam had been in bed all day, not feeling very well. Freddie didn't want to leave her while he went to work, but Sam assured him that she'd be okay. Now she was wishing her husband was there. Mel was taking the Geo for its smog test.
"Ahhh! No! Not another cramp!" Sam shouted in agony, getting onto the floor to crawl.
"Oh sh-" Sam tried to say as she then vomited straight onto the bedroom floor.
"Must get to phone..." she said as she crawled, her cramp starting to deintensify.
Just then, her water broke.
Sam decided to text Mel first, since she should've been on her way home. She'd have Mel call Freddie after they were on their way.
Sam: Mel, plz get bck here ASAP. My water broke!
Melanie: Im turning into the neighborhood now. I'll leave the car running and help u.
Sam: Plz hurry!
While Mel was turning onto their street, Sam managed to stand up. She had no choice but to leave the vomit on the floor. Sure, their house would reek when they got back, but the baby was more important.
Mel burst into the house and proceeded to help her sister out to the car, buckling her into rear seat for safety.
"Can you call Freddie for me?" Sam requested, as Mel got back into the car.
"Sure thing. We'll let the others know when we get to the hospital."
"Hello?"
"Freddie, Sam's water broke. We need you get come to the hospital right away. We're on our way now."
"On it. See you there."
"Bye, Freddie."
-At the Seattle Pear Store-
Freddie hastily packed his equipment, shut his computer down, and locked his office. he had to talk to Norm, who was his boss, about why he was leaving so early.
"NORM!"
"Yes, Fredward?"
"My wife's water broke. I need to go to the hospital. It's an emergency."
"Go ahead, Fredward. I'll arrange for you to take paid paternity leave."
"Thank you so much, Norm!" Freddie said sincerely, giving his boss a one arm hug.
"See you later."
Freddie ran as fast as he could to the '89 Caravan turbo. He put the van in first gear, driving out of his parking space and toward the exit. It would take him about 15 minutes to get there. Sam and Mel were probably there already.
-The hospital-
"My sister's in labor!" Mel shouted, as they walked into the front of the hospital.
"Get a chair!" A nurse ordered.
They had Sam sit in a chair, and she was pushed to the elevator. Her room was number 724.
Soon after, Sam was now on the hospital bed, squeezing Mel's hand while she had contractions. Dr. Griffin and nurse Evelyn were now in the room with the twins.
"This shit hurts so fucking much!" Sam yelled.
"It'll be okay, Sam. Everything will be okay." Melanie whispered.
"Where the fuck is my husband?"
"I'll text him."
Melanie: Where are you?
Freddie: Parking!
Melanie: Sam's not a happy camper...
Freddie: I'll be there in a couple minutes.
Freddie ran into the room and leaned over his wife.
"I got here as fast as I could, Sam. How are you feeling?"
"How the hell do you think I'm feeling, Freddor-"
"AHHHHH! SO MUCH PAIN!"
This time Freddie's hand was squeezed.
"How many centimeters dilated is she?" Freddie inquired.
"Less than 2. I think we're in for a long day." Dr. Griffin replied.
"Yup, at this rate, it should be at least 3 more hours." Nurse Evelyn added.
"Oh my gosh...more of this madness for 3 fucking hours?"
"I'm afraid so, Sam." Dr. Griffin answered.
"Ughhhhhhhhhh."
All 5 people in the room talked for a while, Sam still having contractions. Carly, Spencer, Sasha, Marissa, Gibby, and Pam joined them eventually. Melanie was given the task of getting food and beverages from vending machines.
"I can't believe you're having a baby, Sam!" Carly exclaimed.
"My Freddiebear's growing up so fast." Marissa mumbled.
"Just so you know Sam, I'll always be there for you. Every step of the way." Freddie assured his wife, still holding her hand.
"Thanks, Freddie."
"We'll be here too, Freddie. Sam, you can come to the restaurant for free food anytime you want." Gibby declared.
"I'm looking forward to it, Gib."
"I can make a cool sculpture for the baby, and Sasha can provide it with really fun toys."
"That's cool, guys. I'll have to repay you when you have kids." Sam said to everybody, winking.
"Oh gosh, Sam. We COMPLETELY forgot about names!"
"Damn, Freddie! You're right!"
"Uh...I made a list 8 months ago and stuffed it into my bag. Let me check."
Sam read the list:
Boys Herbert Morgan Josh Alex Nick John
Girls Amanda Gladys Tracy Tammy Sophie Darlene
"Some good suggestions, some stupid ones." Sam declared, chuckling.
"Which names do you like the most?"
"Alex, Nick, and Morgan for boys, Gladys, Darlene, and Tammy for girls."
"How about Gladys?"
"Good choice, Benson."
Sam had now been in labor for 6 hours.
"You've reached 10 centimeters, Sam. Let's get it on!" Dr. Griffin said with enthusiasm. "I'm going to need everyone except the father to leave the room please. We will let you know when you can come back in."
With that, everyone except Freddie and Sam were in room 724.
"Alright, Sam. I need you to push." Dr. Griffin said.
"FREDNUB, YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR MAKING ME GO THROUGH ALL THIS FUCKING PAIN!"
"I need one more push. The head is visible."
"AM I DONE WITH THIS BULLSHIT YET?"
The room was now filled with a cry. Nurse Evelyn moved the baby cut the cord and moved the baby over to get cleaned up.
"It's a girl!" Nurse Evelyn said.
"Hold up! I see a second head!" Dr. Griffin shouted as he ran into the hall to request a crib.
"What? Twins?" Sam half shouted, still in pain.
"You're doing great, Sammy. Looks like a little surprise." Freddie whispered.
"Sam, you need to push again." Dr. Griffin commanded.
"Last one!"
Another cry was heard in room 724.
"Another girl!" Dr. Griffin told Sam and Freddie.
"We need another crib! There's a third one coming!" Dr. Griffin yelled.
"Are you kidding me?" Sam and Freddie exclaimed.
"PUSH Sam!" Dr. Griffin directed.
Sam was able to push the third triplet out in one. Evelyn then cleaned her up.
"Yet another girl." Dr. Griffin said.
"They're ready to be held now." Evelyn said, handing the first baby to Sam, and the second to Freddie, while Evelyn held the third.
"This is Gladys." Sam began.
"This is Darlene." Freddie responded.
"And that's Tammy."
"Can we let our friends come up now?" Sam asked.
"Yes, I'll go get them." Evelyn replied, carefully transferring Tammy to Dr. Griffin.
Evelyn reached the 7th floor waiting room, seeing many anxious looks.
"Are we grandmas yet?" Pam demanded.
"Yes, you are. Mr. and Mrs. Benson unexpectedly had triplets."
"WHAT? TRIPLETS?" Carly screamed, which got everyone excited.
"Can we see them now?" Marissa practically begged.
"Absolutely."
As soon as the others entered room 724, there were tears shed, shreeks of excitement, and hands shaken.
"Can we hold them?" Mel questioned her sister.
"Sure, but be careful."
Each person spoke to the triplets.
"Hey, I'm Melanie, your mother's twin sister.
"Spencer here. I make very cool art."
"My name's Marissa. I'm one of your grandmothers."
"Pam's the name. You're looking at your other grandmother."
"It's me, Gibby, the husband of your parents best friend."
"And I'm Carly, that best friend Gibby was talking about."
"Dr. Griffin and Evelyn, I can't thank you enough for helping us through everything. It really means a lot to us. We look forward to coming to you for future appointments." Freddie started, with sincerity in his voice.
"Yeah, we wouldn't have made it through without you guys."
"No problem, Sam and Freddie. This has been the most enjoyable delivery I've had in my years in the medical field." Dr. Griffin replied.
"I also look forward to seeing you guys in the future. The fact that you're such an odd couple makes it much more fun." Nurse Evelyn spoke.
"Well, I think we're ready to go." Sam declared.
"We only have one car seat though." Freddie realized.
"I can get you a couple extras. Never used." Evelyn offered.
"We'd love it." Freddie accepted.
Spencer helped Freddie install the car seats inside the Caravan. Mel would be driving the Geo home, and the others taking their cars.
"Thanks again for everything!"
"Don't mention it."
With that, the Bensons and Melanie drove back to their home.
The next morning, the Bensons familiarized their triplets with their home. Obviously the nursery was more cramped than expected, but with Mel's help, everything was going smoothly.
A figure dressed in a black tuxedo and slacks, a white dress shirt, and a red tie walked through the section of the Benson's lawn that was burnt. The man rang the doorbell.
"Freddie, can you get that?" Mel asked.
"Sure thing."
"Oh hey, Norm."
"Hello, Fredward. I'm here to discuss paternity leave with you. How'd the delivery go?"
"Sam ended up having identical female triplets. We named them Gladys, Darlene, and Tammy."
"That's awesome, Fred. Mind if I come in?"
"Go ahead, Norm."
Freddie led Norm up to the nursery, where the babies were finally sleeping. Norm's phone beeped. Little did Freddie know, he left the front door of the house cracked open.
"Excuse me, Fredward."
Rodney: Are you there yet?
Norman: Yup. Brad, are you ready?
Brad: Say the words.
Norman: Let's move in.
Norm walked back into the nursery, while Brad and Rodney crept into the house and up the stairs, with guns drawn.
"NOBODY MOVE." Rodney demanded. "Brad, let's grab them."
Brad and Rodney each picked up Tammy and Gladys, while Norm scooped up Darlene.
"You WILL NOT take my babies!" Sam yelled, lurching toward the three men, with Freddie and Mel behind her.
"Oh yes we will. Let's move out guys."
Norm, Brad, and Rodney backed up, eventually through the door. Their guns were still drawn. Brad put each baby into the car, a black Lincoln MKX. Norm got into the driver's seat, Rodney in the passenger's and Brad in the back. The SUV sped off with a squeal of the tires.
