Chapter 11: A Surprise For Carly

(Freddie's POV)

"Sam, what's with the smile?" My voice was weary.

"Nothing," She still sounded too happy.

We were walking with Brad to Carly's apartment, and Sam was just smiling happily.

"Really? Okay, we'll go with that," I rolled my eyes.

She then pulled me back so that we were a few feet behind Brad before whispering in my ear, "You can't see something happening between him and Carly?" She gestured towards Brad as she said this.

I had honestly never thought of the two in that way. Then again I had never thought of me and Sam in this way until we met those crazy viewers at WebiCon, yet here we are, married and soon to be parents. So my thought process about these things probably should not be credited as reliable.

When I gave no response, Sam rolled her eyes and hurried ahead, yelling at Brad, "Carly'll be on her way to work by the time we get there if you don't speed your ass up!"

"Sam!" I scolded.

"It's true!" she laughed in response.

Only a minute or so later, we were at Carly's door. Brad looked about as nervous as hell in terms of knocking on the door, but Sam was happy to take care of that for him.

As soon as Carly's footsteps were heard, Sam darted back to me, snickering at Brad's embarrassed expression.

Carly opened the door, clearly having just gotten up seeing as her hair was a mess. She yawned, "Hi..." then seemed to just notice who was at the door. "Brad?" her voice was full of awe, and she quickly hugged him, then backed up and her hands flew to her hair as she blushed, "Chiz, my hair's a disaster, isn't it?"

Sam snickered at me quietly, "Told ya."

Brad obviously hadn't heard Sam, and just laughed at Carly's paranoia, "It's fine."

Sam smirked at Carly and Brad, "We'll leave you two alone," then grabbed my wrist and dragged me down the hall and around a corner. She promptly pulled out her phone and laughed maniacally as she opened an app.

I sighed, "Sam, what evil plan are you up to now?"

"I took one of your little spy cams and set it up in the plant outside Carly's door in case something like this happens," she smiled triumphantly.

I laughed, "And you say I'm a nerd."

She shot daggers at me, "You call me a nerd again and this child will be the only one you ever have." This made me decide to shut up.

I tried to change the subject, "So... What's going on with Carly and Brad?"

Sam shoved her phone in my face with quite a bit more emphasis than necessary.

"I can't see it when it's two inches from my face," I rolled my eyes. Sam pulled the phone away from my face and held it at a distance where it could actually be seen.

Carly was brushing through her hair with her fingers, obviously still bothered that Brad had seen her like that.

It looked like Brad was saying something, but I couldn't hear it, so I smirked at Sam, "You didn't turn the audio on, did you? Hmm, maybe you aren't the nerd I thought you were..."

She gave me a murderous glare. So I guess I can't win if I call her a nerd or if I insult her ability to program technology. Great.

I tried to apologize, "Sam, I didn't mean to say that... I'm sorry..." She didn't lose her threatening stare. I tried a new tactic, "I love you?" She was still giving me the evil eye. I decided to try one last thing, which I figured would have to work.

I lifted her bridal style just before capturing her lips with mine, honestly not caring that we were in the middle of the hallway and anyone could see. Her response? I could tell she tried not to let it affect her. That didn't work for long.

She pulled her lips just a few centimeters from mine, whispering, "Don't think you've won this argument just by kissing me like that," then pressed her lips back to mine.

The next thing I knew, her phone had fallen from her hand and to the floor, though it was indestructible and therefore couldn't break, so she didn't care and ignored the noise. Her arms were wound tightly around my neck, and she refused to remove her lips from mine with the exception of the few short breaths she pulled away to take. I acted in a similar fashion, only supporting her back and legs rather then wrapping my arms around her.

I heard someone clear their throat loudly, and I quickly pulled away from Sam and set her on her feet. This made her pout, which I found to be incredibly funny.

Glancing to the side, I noticed that Brad had been the one to clear his throat, and Carly was next to him, rolling her eyes. She was still in a robe and slippers but her hair seemed to have been brushed.

She laughed, "Why am I not surprised that you two decided to make out in the middle of the hallway?"

Brad chuckled, "'Cause they're Sam and Freddie? Did you expect anything less of them?"

Even Sam and I laughed at that comment. It was true. This sort of thing wasn't out of the ordinary for us.

Carly smiled brightly, "Brad's gonna be here for a whole week!"

Sam jabbed me playfully with her elbow and when I turned to her, she mouthed, "Told you."

"Told him what?" Carly laughed.

"That uhh... That Brad's staying for a week..." Sam mumbled.

Carly rolled her eyes. She didn't seem to care that Sam lied, and asked no further questions about what she had actually meant. It was just a hopeless cause.

After a moment of awkward silence, Carly announced, "Well, I have to go get ready for work, because if I don't, I'll be late for the second time this week... And then I don't think I'll have a job anymore so... See ya later!" And with that she ran towards her apartment.

Sam smirked at Brad, "She likes you."

Brad's face became a bright shade of crimson. Sam looked ridiculously happy about this.

"You're acting like one of those crazy people at WebiCon! I thought you said they were ridiculous." I rolled my eyes.

"Am not!" she defended much like a child would.

"Come on, leave Brad alone, come back to the apartment..." I felt like I was talking to a dog. I grabbed her hand and lightly pulled it, and when this didn't work, I picked her up again. She hated when I did this if it wasn't because I had the intention to kiss her. She had pretty much no way of escaping besides throwing herself to the ground, but she had stopped doing that now because she didn't want to hurt the baby.

Once we had gotten back to the apartment, I realized that we'd left Brad in the hallway.

Sam laughed at me when I told her this, "See? You were too busy trying to get me to stop spazzing to remember that Brad's staying here for the week."

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever, he can come back when he feels like it."

Sam grabbed her laptop and sat down on the couch with it, telling me, "In the meantime, come over here and help me put together a list of names that might be good for our daughter. She's still nameless."


A/N: So, how'd ya like it? Please leave a review :D And tell me what your favorite part was :) Also, more name suggestions would be awesome! (Remember that names with meaning are more likely to be chosen) The name will most likely be announced in the next chapter ;)
