Hello there!
I'm back with this new chapter. I think this is the new longest chapter for this story.
I'm sorry if I start slowing down my updates. It's waaaaay too hot in California to be sitting down typing for more than twenty minutes. It took me like four hours combined to write this chapter because I kept taking breaks to move closer to the air conditioner.
But enough about this, let's move one to this next chapter. I believe if my math is right it's March, meaning that I missed some important events. I'm going to have to add some more scenes and chapters later on.
Enjoy this next chapter!
Freddie had wasted no time finding a cooking class for adults for Sam and him to take. It was just his luck that there had been a class opening only a week after they had agreed to take one. It was unlucky for them since the class had fallen on the same day that Sam was to go the doctor's office again.
At four and half months, she was glowing. Whenever Carly or Freddie had persuaded her to actually leave the bed or couch, she was still the same Sam. She still demanded things, acted rude to rude people and stole their either of the food. The growing life inside of her was adding to her personality. She had been very active for the past few days. She was constantly going into the nursery and re-folding clothes or moving the crib from place to place or trying to push the cabinet from one end to another. Freddie said that she was trying to find something to mediate while she carried the baby.
"And you think that these cooking classes are going to slow that down?" She asked
"Sam, don't argue about this anymore. We already agreed to take the classes, registered for them, and pre-bought the cook book." Freddie counted off
Sam huffed at Freddie. It was true she had tried to convince Freddie that they didn't need classes even though she agreed. It was a very long shot considering that Freddie often did whatever he set his mind to. Sam finished placing her sweater on top of her blouse and walked out to the living room. Freddie followed right after her after tying his shoes.
"Why are these classes in the morning anyway?" She complained as Freddie grabbed his car keys and wallet from the couch.
"Is this a complaint because we're taking the classes or because you're Sam?" Freddie asked
"Because I'm Sam." She answered simply
"My guess is that people don't want to go to a cooking class in the afternoon since there are better thing to do on a Saturday." Freddie said as he gestured Sam to step out of the house.
Sam reached the car outside and Freddie unlocked it so she could get in. She wrapped the seat belt around her protruding belly and sat there waiting for Freddie. He locked the front door of the house and walked to the car. He buckled his own seat belt and turned on the car to pull it out of the driveway.
*#*
"Welcome to the first cooking class for the Seattle Community Center!" The woman who was teaching the class announced loudly.
Sam, Freddie and most of the class jumped when she opened her mouth because of the pure power of her voice.
"I thought I was banned from this place?" Sam whispered to Freddie as the woman, who had introduced herself as Claudia, kept reciting her previously and meticulously planned spiel.
"Sam Puckett was banned. There is no record of Sam Benson being banned from this place." Freddie answered with a smirk.
"My name is Sam Puckett-Benson." Sam said indigently
"Not in this class." Freddie answered as he turned his attention back to Claudia.
"I'll be passing out the cookbooks now. When you get them, turn to the first page and review the recipe. I have already placed the ingredients on your tables and the utensils are there as well."
Freddie and Sam received their cookbook second to last since they were sitting in the middle row of the room. Freddie immediately started looking at the first recipe while Sam stared at the ingredients.
"Why aren't you looking at the recipe?" Freddie asked
"Because you're already reading it. You can read it out loud and I'll do whatever it says to do." She answered
Claudia, who was coming back to the front of the room after delivering the books, stopped in front o Freddie and Sam.
"Oh sweetie, it doesn't work like that. Each person in this class has to make their own meal." She announced.
Freddie looked to Sam with a smirk as Claudia walked to the front. Sam punched him in the shoulder very hard for laughing and opened her book to read.
"We're making scrambled eggs and hash browns." She said, plainly.
"We're starting with the basics right now. Simple things made out of things most of you have in your homes. For the scrambled eggs we're going to need eggs and salt for taste. Now, take your pan and place it over the stove in front of you. Take the non stick spray located on the farther right of the ingredients. Spray very little on the pan and turn on the stove to a medium low, a four or five." Claudia said as she began to walk around
The whole class did as they were told and all began to place the pan. Sam finished quickly and grabbed the egg carton from the ingredients. She placed it in the middle between Freddie and herself and waited for the next instructions.
"Next grab the mixing bowl and a whisk. Take two eggs from the carton in front of you and crack them open by hitting them on the counter like so," Claudia paused to demonstrate the easy technique to the class, "and make sure they make it into the bowl."
Freddie's first egg broke in half as soon as he hit it against the counter. It spilled on the floor and Sam laughed. Claudia told him not to worry and told him they would clean it after class. He cracked the second egg more successfully.
"Now, take the whisk and place it into the bowl and with a stirring/whipping motion, begin to whisk the eggs."
Sam started to whip the eggs quickly and Freddie tried his best to keep up with her. The rows behind and in front of her were beginning to notice her whisking and began to copy it as well.
"Look at all of you! Whisking like you've been doing this for years!" Claudia exclaimed happily.
The class beamed with fake smiles and Claudia told them to stop whisking.
"The eggs should only have very few bubbles and the yolk and whites should be thoroughly mixed. Take a minute to finish that now and when you're done put the whisk down on a napkin."
A few people continued to mix the eggs after she had finished talking and others simply put the whisk down.
"Are we all ready? Good, now our pan should be hot enough so we are going to slowly pour the eggs into the pan like so," She stopped talking again to demonstrate the slow pour, and we grab our spatula."
Everyone had managed to get most of the egg mixture in the pan without spilling it around it. The eggs began to slowly cook as soon as they hit the heat of the pan.
"As the start to cook, we are going to add a pinch of salt to the eggs. As soon as you've done that we are going to take the spatula and scramble the eggs."
Claudia grabbed an empty pan and showed the class how she was swirling the spatula around the pan.
"Make sure as you moving the spatula, you're getting all the eggs around the walls of the pan. You want to make sure that no eggs are stuck to it or else they'll burn."
Sam was moving the eggs around like Claudia had shown them and the eggs were cooking in the scrambled egg form. She hid a small smile from Freddie, who was busy trying to make sure that his eggs weren't burning. She was having fun, if only Claudia would stop shout-talking every word she said. It faintly reminded Sam of Spencer.
"Your eggs should be mostly cooked by now, with very few wet or liquid looking pieces. If all the pieces are dry and cooked, place them on the plate you were given and turn off the stove. I'll stop to look to see that they are cooked before we eat them."
"We get to eat the food we make?" Sam asked Freddie excitedly
"I hope so. I got a craving for eggs now." He answered as he poured the eggs onto the plate.
"I thought I was supposed to be the one with the cravings." Sam joked as she did the same.
Freddie gave her a joking look and turned off the stove for both of them. Claudia passed both of them and nodded to say that their eggs were cooked.
When she had finished her round, which drew the results that most of the class's eggs were edible, she gave the m time to eat what they had just made. Sam and Freddie ate their eggs with zeal. It was simple food, but to someone who hadn't eaten breakfast, it was a gift from above.
Sam and Freddie had left the class shortly after Freddie had picked up the broken egg. They had learned to make hash browns after they had finished eating. The class had done fine; no one had cut their fingers cutting the potatoes. Claudia cheered that all of them had done very well for their first class.
"See, that wasn't so bad." Freddie said as they got in the car.
"Yeah, it wasn't. But Claudia was annoying. Did you hear her yelling at everyone?"
"I'm pretty sure that's just how she talks Sam."
"I know that, but it's still annoying."
"I think you're just overreacting. Everyone talks differently. She's still a very good teacher; we have things to make for breakfast now."
Sam was about to agree wit her husband, albeit begrudgingly, when her phone rang with the iCarly ringtone. She got her phone out of the pocket of her coat and answered it.
"Hi Carly, What's up?" She said into the phone.
"Nothing much, I just was wondering if you and Freddie had time before your appointment to come to the Groovy Smoothie. I have some important news to tell you."
"You aren't pregnant are you?" Sam asked worriedly
"No! I just think I need to tell you something face to face. So can you come?"
"Let me ask Freddie." Sam said into the phone
"What does Carly want?" Freddie asked curiously
"She wants to now if we have time to go to the Groovy Smoothie. What time's our appointment?"
"10:45 and it's barely 9:20. Tell her we'll make it." Freddie stated
"Carls? You still there?"
"I'm here. So?"
"We'll be there. See you soon."
"Yes! Thanks, I'll order you smoothies so they're ready by the time you guys get here. What do you guys want?"
"I'll take two Strawberry Splats and Freddie can get a Mango Fusion."
"Okay, I'll go order. See ya! Bye." Carly said hanging up
*#*
Carly put the phone away and turned to Brad, who was drinking his smoothie.
"They're coming. You ready?" She asked
He choked as he stopped sucking his smoothie and said hoarsely,
"As I'll ever be. Do you think they'll accept the relationship?"
"Of course, they're our friends. Whatever makes us happy, they'll have to agree with, right?" She ended worriedly
"I guess. Did they say how long until they'd be here?"
"No, I forgot to ask them. Oh! That reminds me, I have to go order their smoothies. Be right back."
Carly left Brad drinking his smoothie. She made it to the counter where an attendant was waiting.
"Hi, Can I have two Strawberry Splats and a Mango fusion?"
"Sure, is that for here or to go?" The boy asked.
"Yo, boy! Lemme handle this customer!" A man called out.
An elderly T-Bo walked out and took the young boy's place.
"Hey T-Bo! How ya been?" Carly asked
"Good good. Business has been nice. Sam and Freddie coming?"
"Yeah, they're who the smoothies are for."
"Ah, okay. I tell ya what, when they get here, give them this coupon." He said handing Carly the coupon.
"What's this for?" She asked
"I heard Sam's having a baby-child so that's for them to save money."
"Aww, well thanks T-Bo. I'll give to them when they get here."
Carly looked at the coupon more closely and turned back to T-Bo with a confused face.
"This says "Get 21 Smoothies for the Price of 20"
"yeah, it's a great deal isn't it?" He said happily
"Yeah, can I just get the smoothies?" She said sarcastically.
T-Bo snapped his fingers and the young boy from before came with the three smoothies.
Carly gave him the money and took the smoothies back to the table where Brad was waiting.
"What's that?" He asked when he saw the paper Carly was holding.
"Oh, it some coupon that T-Bo gave me to give to Sam and Freddie." She said as he took the coupon.
"21 for the price of 20. T-Bo's business is going to do great with these." He added sarcastically.
"At least it's not expired." She commented
Brad laughed in agreement and started to drink his smoothie to find that it was empty. He shook his cup and opened the cap. He looked inside before getting up.
"I'm getting another smoothie. Do you want one?"
"No thanks, I'm good. Go ahead."
Brad went up to the counter and Carly glanced at her phone for the time, only ten minutes had passed since she had called Sam. She looked at Brad, who was talking to T-Bo and selected Messages on her phone. She sent a short text to Sam.
Hey there! I didn't ask how far away you guys were.
She put away her phone and took a sip of her smoothie. Her phone beeped two minutes later and Sam's name was glowing on her phone's screen.
Fredster says we'll be there in like ten minutes. I think we're near that exit close to the mall.
Carly smiled at her best friend's texts and typed a reply.
Okay, I got your smoothies already.
She sent the message and got a reply before she managed she put her phone in her purse.
YES! Telling Fredalupe to drive FASTER. C U in a bit.
Brad came back with a newly poured smoothie and saw Carly laughing into her phone
"What's so funny?" He asked
"Oh, it's just Sam. I told her I got her smoothies and look what she sent me." She said as she handed Brad the phone
Brad looked at the phone and chuckled.
"The girl loves her smoothies." He commented as he passed the phone back to her.
"Yeah, part of me thinks it's even more now because of all her cravings and hormones."
"How is she with all that?" Brad inquired
"I really don't know. Freddie says the only thing he knows she's going through is all the morning sickness."
"Watch, when she gets to like the six or seven month mark, she's going to be all crazy."
"God help Freddie!" Carly announced
She and Brad toasted their cups and took a long sip. The door banged open and a blond woman ran in looking for a brunette girl. Sam spotted Carly and ran to the table. She hugged Carly quickly and took one of the smoothies on the table.
"Sam!" Freddie called as he walked into the restaurant out of breath.
"What?" She said, her mouth full of smoothie.
"I said to wait for me." He said as he walked to the table.
"I waited as long as I could." She said innocently
"How long was that?"
"Five minutes." She mumbled into her smoothie.
Freddie huffed and rolled his eyes.
"Hi Carly, how are you? Brad, how you doing?" He greeted
Sam looked up from her smoothie and glanced in front of her.
"Hey Brad! When'd you get here?"
"I've been here since before you walked in."
"Oh well, I didn't notice you." She said off handedly.
Freddie sat next to her and took his smoothie.
"So what's the big news Carly?" Freddie asked
"Well, it's big news for both me and Brad." She said as she took his hand.
"We wanted to tell you that we're dating." He said as he smiled at Carly.
Freddie stopped sucking on his smoothie and stared with his mouth half-open. Sam's own mouth was dripping smoothie. Carly and Brad were now wearing worried smiles, and glancing between the two.
"You say what now?" Sam said
"We're dating. We just started hanging out and we clicked." Carly lied
"How long has this been going on?" Freddie wondered
"Only a couple of weeks. We thought you guys should be the first ones to know." Brad added.
Sam and Freddie looked at each other with worried looks. Freddie nodded and gestured his head toward Carly and Brad.
"That's great you guys. I hope you guys stay happy." Sam said sincerely.
Carly smiled and hugged Sam and Freddie.
"I'm glad that you guys aren't freaking out about this." Brad commented
"Hey, you're our friends and if you guys are happy together, then who are we to say any different." Freddie said.
Brad smiled and fist-bumped Freddie.
"Oh! Before I forget, T-Bo wanted me to give you this coupon." Carly said, grabbing the coupon fomr the table.
Freddie took the coupon from her hands and looked at it. He laughed and handed the coupon to Sam. She glanced at the coupon and chuckled as well.
"He really tries to rip people off, doesn't he?" She joked
The group laughed and Freddie pocketed the coupon.
They spent the next fifteen minutes sharing their lives since they had last seen each other. The room decorating had seemed like it had happened months ago. Carly was now planning two weddings in the Greater Seattle Area. Brad was busy making sure that Freddie's work in the Pear Company was ready to be done when he came back the next week.
As Brad finished explaining the new App updates they had been planning, Freddie's phone beeped and he took it out of his pocket to check on it. He looked at the screen and turned to Sam.
"Hey, if we want to make our appointment on time, we gotta leave soon." He announced
"Now? But we just got here!" Sam argued
"Yes, but we have a twenty minute drive and we got to get there early."
"Ooh! Can I come? All the movies always have that one best friend visit." Carly pleaded
"Of course you can, Carls. I wouldn't have it any other way." Sam said.
"Let's go then, we don't want to be late. Bye Brad, see you at work." Freddie exclaimed.
"Bye you guys! Bye Sweetie!" He called out to the trio
They all waved goodbye and Carly blew a kiss to Brad as they left the Groovy Smoothie.
"Well Sam, Welcome back." Susie the nurse said as Sam reached the desk.
"Thanks Susie. Nice to see you too. We're here for my 10:45 appointment."
"All right, I'll tell Dr. Turner you're here. Please take a seat."
Sam went back to where Freddie and Carly were waiting.
"They said we had to wait. I'm guessing they're busy today." Sam said scanning the half full room.
"I'm going to go check those magazines over there." Carly announced, standing up.
Freddie nodded as he looked at his phone. Sam noticed and leaned to see his screen.
"What are you doing?" She asked
"I'm checking my email. Brad said that he would send me copies of his work so far." He said, still poking around on his Pear phone.
"Look, there are all sorts of parenting magazines to read while we wait." Carly announced as she passed one of the magazines to Sam.
"These are so old. Look, this one still has Christmas recipes." Sam announced
"Yeah, but I think they still have good advice. Look, a sleeping chart to help you feel more comfortable as you sleep." Carly pointed out.
"I guess. They do seem helpful. Freddie, do you want one?" Sam said, offering him a magazine.
"No thanks, I just got those files from Brad."
"Suit yourself, I'll be here learning about babies while you play with apps." Sam mocked
Carly laughed and continued to read her magazine.
*#*
"Sam Puckett-Benson and Guests!" Susie announced to the room.
"That's us!" Carly announced, taking the magazines and placing them back where they belonged.
Sam walked in the front of the group, leading Freddie and Carly into the main offices.
"I'm going to go visit Andrew. I'll be in there soon." Freddie said as he kissed Sam on the cheek.
She waved goodbye to him and walked into the room with Carly.
"Hi Dr. Turner!" She said as she spotted the doctor writing on her clipboard.
"Hello Sam, how are you?"
"Feeling great! This is my best friend, Carly. She wanted to be here for the sonogram today."
"Well, welcome Carly. You can take a seat on the chair next to Sam." Dr. Turner said as she shook Carly's hand.
"Thanks. So what happens now?" Carly asked
"Well, I ask Sam some questions about her pregnancy so far and she answers them. Then when we're ready, we'll start the sonogram." Dr. Turner listed.
Carly nodded her head and gestured for Dr. Turner and Sam to begin.
*#*
Freddie knocked on the door of Andrew's office as he opened the door. The room contained about five other men who were sitting in a circle using the chairs from the small waiting area.
"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. I'll come back later." He said closing the door.
"Freddie, come in! I just thought since we have some more people today than usual, we would have somewhat of a circle to talk about the issues. Come join us." Andrew said from his chair.
Freddie awkwardly walked in and sat in the chair closest to the door.
"Why don't you introduce yourself Freddie?" Andrew said
"Uh, okay. Hi, my name's Freddie Benson. I'm here today with my wife Sam, who's about five months today. It's our first child." He stated to the room.
Some of the men waved to Freddie with smiles and others simply nodded their heads.
"Well then, let's continue with our discussion. We were talking about supporting the women in our lives while they go though all of this. Gordon, I think you were speaking."
A bald headed man looked up from his lap and glanced at Andrew.
"Uh yeah, anyway like I was saying. My wife's having our second child and I know what she felt already so the day she told me she was pregnant again, I went out and bought an excess of food. I got cookies, chips, you name it I bought it."
"And what did she do when she saw what you did?" Andrew pushed
Gordon chuckled and looked up from his lap.
"She got very angry with me. She started throwing things at me, yelling that I was already calling her fat and making it seem like she was going to stuff her face with all of this."
The men shared laughs as they went around the room. Freddie had met more of the men surrounding him. Raymond was on his third child as his wife had twins before. He shared about repainting of the nursery, that ended with him covered in paint for suggesting that his wife couldn't help because of the fumes. Steven had planned a nice dinner for his wife, who was pregnant with their first child as well, which was left uneaten as she fell asleep before he could present it to her.
"So Freddie, tell us something about you." Andrew offered
Freddie nodded and thought for while.
"My wife and I recently baby-sat one of our friend's kid. He was only three but he was already so smart. We helped him tie his shoes and colored with him as well. Later, my wife, Sam, had fallen asleep while watching a documentary about Galaxy Wars we forced her to see. She burned the food that night and we ended up going out to eat with our friend's kid. When we got home, we."
The phone rang in the office and Andrew raised his hand to ask Freddie to stop. The room quieted down so Andrew could answer the phone call in silence.
"Yes, he's here." Andrew said into the telephone.
"No, we're just doing some group study. Yes, I'll send him right over." Andrew said as he hung up the phone.
He got up and walked over to Freddie.
"They need you in the sonogram room. They said it's important." Andrew whispered to him.
Freddie nodded and got up from his chair. He waved to the group of men and closed the door of the room. He made his way over to the sonogram room and opened the door.
He found Sam, with her shirt folded up to her chest staring at the screen, mouth wide open. He looked confused and turned to Carly for answers. She just stared at him with worried eyes.
"Freddie, I am so sorry. I just don't know how we missed this. It's normal to miss one baby, but two?" Dr. Turner said, her tone apologetic.
Freddie walked even more into the room and stood next to Sam. He grabbed Sam's hand in order to try to relieve her frozen state, but it was no use. She remained frozen. He looked at the screen and his eyes widened in shock.
His mind went blank as Dr. Turner pointed out the limbs and heads of each baby. Three babies were currently growing in Sam. The three just kept their eyes on the screen and kept quiet as Dr. Turner began to explain the situation.
"Well, it's now obvious that you're having triplets Sam. I wasn't here for your last one at three and ½ months, I believe one of the nurses took care of you that day, yes?"
Sam nodded her head. That Doctor's appointment had happened while she had been planning Freddie's birthday in February. (A/N will explain this) She had been so busy and left as quickly as she could.
"Who ever took care of you didn't leave a report, only that you had come in."
She closed the folder abruptly and turned to the trio.
"Well, the damage is done. Now, multiples are more common in families with multiples in them. Do either of you have multiples in the family?"
"I'm a twin. I have a sister named Melanie." Sam answered
"Hmm, then it's more than likely that's the reason you're having multiples. I want to explain to you how this could have happened. See, every month, a woman releases an egg into her uterus. On rare occasions, she can release two. Are you guys following?"
They nodded their heads yes, starting to vaguely remember the health classes they were forced to take their Senior year of high school.
"If both those egg's are fertilized, they can become fraternal twins. Identical twins happen when one of the eggs splits in two, so they share the same DNA. Still with me?"
"So either Sam released three eggs or some of the eggs split? And that caused the triplets?"Carly asked
"Yes, but it is more likely that they split. Releasing multiple eggs is very rare but having multiples in the family increases this chance." Dr. Turner stated
Noticing the shock on the faces of the future parents, she stood up.
"I'm going to give you some time to process all of this. I'll be back in a little while."
Dr. Turner left the room quietly and Freddie let go of Sam's hand. Carly got closer to the two and pulled them into a group hug. They stayed still for a while when Carly realized that her arm had become wet.
She pulled away to find that Sam had started to cry.
"Oh Sam, please don't cry." Carly said, trying to find a tissue box for her.
"How can I not cry? I'm having two more babies than planned and I'm almost five months pregnant. How are we supposed to raise three kids at the same time?" She said through her tears.
She directed the last question at Freddie, who turned away from her.
"I don't know." He said quietly, "I don't know and I know that the answer kills you but I can't garentee that we'll do fine or horrible. But I do know that we'll do it together and make it through."
"You guys act like you're the only two in this." Carly announced "You got me, your moms, Spencer, Brad, Mels, Wendy; you have tons of built-in baby sitters."
She backed away from them and stared at them.
"We wil NOT let you guys go through this alone." She finished.
Sam and Freddie smiled from ear to ear. They had become reassured by Carly, even if it was just a bit. Carly handed Sam a tissue and she wiped her tears away. She kissed Freddie on the cheek and leaned over to hug Carly.
As if on cue, Dr. Turner knocked on the door. She opened the door and leaned on the door frame.
"Are you guys okay? Can I come in or do you need a little more time?"
"No, it's okay. Come in." Freddie said
"So now that we're calmed down, we need to talk about delivery. I would recommend scheduling a C-section for the delivery. The human body is not meant to handle three natural birth deliveries and I would not endanger any of my patients who attempt to do so."
Sam nodded in understanding.
"While I was outside, I looked up dates close to your due date of mid-June. I suggest you look them over and give me a call as soon as you get home so we can contact the hospital to get everything ready." Dr. Turner said as she handed Freddie a paper that contained many dates.
"I'll call as soon as we pick a date." Freddie answered.
"Then we're done here for today. I'll get the nurse to print the sonogram for you. It was very nice seeing all of you. I hope you'll do well." She said as she shook each of their hands.
They waved goodbye to Dr. Turner as she walked out. A nurse walked in shortly after and handed Freddie and Sam a picture. She helped Sam clean her stomach and scheduled their appointment in four weeks.
Carly helped Sam into the car as Freddie said goodbye to Andrew.
"Carly, do you think you can come and stay at our house tonight? I don't think I can handle being with just Freddie tonight." Sam asked
"Of course I will. I'll just stop by my house to pick up some of my stuff and I'll head right over." Carly said sweetly.
As Freddie reached the car, Carly departed from the couple to go to her own car. They pulled out of the clinic's parking lot and headed in opposite directions to their destinations.
Sam and Freddie hadn't said much to each other since they had left the clinic. They each had too much their minds.
How did I not feel two extra babies in there? I should've noticed something right? I did feel bigger, but I thought that was just bloating. Sam thought to herself. She was angry at herself. She felt as though she should've noticed something. The hints were there, she just didn't notice them.
Freddie was trying to focus on opening the front door of their house. He felt too distracted to even do those simple tasks. He forced the door open and helped Sam out of the car. He took much more care of her then compared to the previous months.
Sam knew he was just worrying about the babies, so she let him do what he thought was right. She let him lead her to the couch, as if she forgot where it was, and let him help her sit down.
"Freddie I'm pregnant, not disabled." She finally said when he tried placing pillows around her like a fort.
Freddie put the four pillows he was holding back on the couch and simply sat next to his wife.
"So what do we do now?" He asked in monotone.
"I don't know. Carly's coming over in like a half hour so we got until then." She answered
"Are you worried?" He asked finally
Sam turned to him and nodded her head.
"More than I've ever been about anything. I was prepared for one baby. I was okay with two, But three? Who has triplets on their first try?"
"WE do. I think we should just start accepting that weird things are going to happen to us. Think about it, what do you think 8th grade you would have done if Present-Day you would have told her you'd be married to me and be pregnant with triplets?"
"I would have laughed, and then insulted you in so many colorful ways." Sam chuckled
"And I would've called you some blond-headed devil in disguise sent to ruin my life." He said with a smile.
"I didn't ruin your life, did I now?" Sam said with a smirk
"Nope, I think you made it a hundred times better."
"compared to your life before me, I'm guessing I made a lot of difference." She said laughing
She giggled loudly and Freddie just chuckled at his wife's insult at him.
"We have to tell our parents now, you know." Freddie commented.
"Can't we do that tomorrow?" Sam said annoyed
"Sam, we can't push anything back anymore. We have to start seriously preparing for these babies and-"
"Freddie, don't you think I know that? I just want one night before we have your mother here telling me what to do or my mom commenting on everything I do."
"I understand, but I think we need to tell them as soon as possible."
"We just got told today! I think we're allowed to recover from this by ourselves."
"I already told you, we need to start planning-"
"And I told you I don't want to do it today. So we are going to do what I, the one who's actually carrying the children, want to do."
Freddie stayed quiet as Sam backed him into a wall.
"Okay, we can wait a day. It's fine." He said quickly.
Sam smiled and on cue Carly knocked on the door. Sam walked to bring her in and Freddie just kept his back to his wall.
He hadn't felt this threatened and worried since high school. He was going to be murdered before those babies were born.
Author's Note:
Wow.
You guys are probably didn't expect that.
When I first started this story, I wanted it to be unique. I thought about giving them twins, but then I thought "that's way too common." (So I gave them triplets, my common sense is astounding right?) The timeline is definitely going to change now, they're going to be due earlier than expected.
Along with that, as I was checking the calendar for this story. I noticed that I missed Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and Freddie's birthday. I was too focused on the main plot of the pregnancy that I missed all of these important events.
I decided that I'm going to write these events, then eventually add them to the story. I'll change some of the chapters to make them fit.
Thanks for reading this chapter and I hope you liked it.
Please review!
