Chapter 11: iAnniversary
It was the morning of Sam and Freddie's sixth year wedding anniversary. Freddie was busy cooking up a storm in the kitchen of blueberry pancakes and of course Sam's favourite bacon for her to have a special breakfast in bed. He had even made sure that he would cook extra so it was enough to feed both Sam and their unborn child that was growing inside of her.
"Just put your arms around someone, never know whose waiting for a little love" Little Ally sang as she ran into the kitchen in her pyjamas.
"Bacon" She then yelled with a smile on her face as soon as she smelt it.
"Ally Shh please, your Mom is still asleep "Freddie told her.
"Moms always asleep" Ally reminded him, making Freddie smile.
"Yeh I know, but today I don't want you to wake her up" Freddie replied.
"You've got something planned for Mommy today" Ally said suspiciously.
"Your way to clever for a four year old" Freddie told her as he picked her up and sat her on one of the kitchen stools before kissing her on the forehead.
"I'm almost five" Ally reminded him.
"Yeh I know" Freddie smiled but deep down all he could think about was that his little girl was growing up so fast. "Do you want some bacon?" He asked her.
"And scrambled egg please" she replied.
Fifteen minutes later Freddie was quietly creeping into his and Sam's bedroom with a tray of the breakfast foods that he had lovingly prepared for her in his hand. Setting the tray down on the bedside table, Freddie slid himself back into bed and cuddled in to Sam's side. Freddie placed his hand over Sam's bare stomach and began to place soft gentle kisses down her neck in order to wake her up.
"I am awake you know" Sam told him. Her eyes were still closed and she had a smile on her face.
"When did you wake up?" Freddie asked her before kissing her on the cheek gently.
"When Ally yelled bacon" Sam replied as she carefully opened up her eyes.
"I thought you would have run out for some" Freddie said.
"No because I've trained you well enough to bring me plenty" Sam smiled as she turned around to face Freddie.
"Yes, that's right because I made you breakfast in bed" he told her.
"Thank you" Sam smiled as she kissed him lovingly on the lips, which made hers and Freddie's heart melt.
"Happy anniversary" Freddie told her, smiling deeply.
As soon as Freddie said those two small words that meant so much to him Sam broke down and started to cry. At first he thought she was crying happy tears because after all it was their special day, but as time went on Sam cried louder and had her head buried in his shoulder.
"Is this the start of those pregnancy hormones?" Freddie asked, hoping that would actually be it.
"No" Sam responded.
"Then what is it?" He asked her, looking concerned.
"I'm a bad wife" Sam told him.
"What? Where an earth did you come up with such a crazy idea like that?" Freddie questioned.
"Because I couldn't do anything for you for our anniversary. I've been stuck in this apartment for days and we all know I usually do something really good. I couldn't even cook because I couldn't go out for ingredients." Sam ranted. "Then when I tried to think of something I couldn't come up with anything" Sam moaned.
"Sam you are not a bad wife" Freddie comforted her. "You're the best wife I could ever wish for. I did have some idea that you wouldn't have anything planned because of everything that has gone on. To me that doesn't matter though and it's more important that your happy and we get to spend the day together" he told her.
"Plus if you really want to do something for me I'm sure you can make it up later" he suggested.
"And how do you suppose I do that?" Sam questioned.
"I'm sure I can think of something" Freddie smirked as he kissed his wife.
"Daddy can I have more scrambled egg?" Ally yelled from the kitchen.
"How come Ally gets scrambled egg and I don't?" Sam questioned as she broke away from Freddie's lips.
"Alright I'm on it" Freddie replied as he got up and began to make his way back into the kitchen to make Sam and Ally scrambled egg.
"Hey Benson" Sam called making Freddie turn back around. "Happy Anniversary" She smiled.
"Happy Anniversary" he replied.
….
It was the evening of Sam and Freddie's wedding anniversary and Freddie was getting ready for Sam's surprise.
"Will you please just tell me where we are going?" Sam asked as she stepped out of the bedroom in a purple dress which was so simply but made her look absolutely beautiful.
"Nope" Freddie replied as he turned round to face her. "Wow, you look amazing" he told her.
"Hmmm. No I don't, I think the baby is starting to show" Sam told him insecurely.
"It's not and if it was you would still be beautiful" Freddie replied and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
With that there was a knock on the door and Freddie's Mom walked in.
"I'm here to watch little Ally" Marissa cheered. "I've got my personal hygiene board game for us to play" She told everyone and from a distance Freddie saw Ally's frown.
"Mom maybe you and Ally should do something different this time" Freddie suggested.
"Your right. I've also got my jigsaw puzzle of ticks. Are fun can start with that" She smiled.
"Okay well were going to get out of here" Freddie replied to them after mouthing a quick sorry to Ally. "Put this on" Freddie told Sam as he held up blindfold.
"You do know I'm not allowed to leave Bushwell" Sam reminded him as they made their way out of the apartment.
Minutes later Sam could feel the Seattle air flowing through her hair. It was something she hadn't felt for days. As soon as Freddie removed her blindfold Sam found herself in a familiar place that she hadn't been too for years. It was a place where she could look down at the busy streets of Seattle and stare up and the sparkly night sky. It was a place that was important to her and Freddie. It was the fire escape, which had a blanket and picnic basket layed out on the ground for the two of them.
"Freddie I haven't been here scince you proposed" Sam gasped.
"Do you like it?" He asked.
"I love it" Sam smiled as she stared up at the stars in the sky. "The view is beautiful from up here" She added.
"It sure is" Freddie agreed as he wrapped his arms around Sam from behind her and she carefully rested her head on his shoulder.
"I love you" She told him.
"I love you too" Freddie replied as he kissed her. "I love you so much" he told her once more.
….
From a jigsaw puzzle of ticks to a board game about personal hygiene Ally Benson was bored to death. Although the evening's events soon took a turn for a surprise when Spencer Shay ran into the apartment saving her from another game of personal hygiene.
"Freddie" Spencer yelled.
"He's not here. Him and Sam have gone somewhere for their anniversary" Mrs Benson told him.
"No they haven't. Sam's gone to meet Carly" Spencer corrected her.
"I think I know where my daughter in-law is" Mrs Benson argued.
"Well you don't because Carly practically ran out the door when Sam emailed her saying she wanted to talk things through. It was the first time I've seen her smile in days" Spencer told them.
"But Mummy and Daddy left the house together for daddy's surprise" Ally told Spencer.
"Yep I don't know why you thought Carly was meeting Sam. Do you not know how angry Sam is with her?" Mrs Benson asked.
"So where is Carly?" Spencer questioned, looking concerned…
