Chapter 14

Carly the Matchmaker

Please keep reviewing I'm so happy with all the reviews so far about this story. I will hopefully do this chapter and chapter 15 today and then I will have to do revision. Tomorrow is my birthday so I don't think I'll update tomorrow I might but I don't know. Abbey is 34. Holly is 6 and Josh is 2 months. I don't think I mentioned them before.

Sam's POV

I got dressed for dinner tonight and Freddie and I left for the restaurant. I knew Carly would be happy for us and Spencer would to. When he found out we were dating he said that he knew it would always happen. He said that it was obvious that we both had a crush on each other as I used to always pick on Freddie and call him names and the way Freddie would never stand up for himself.

We arrived at the restaurant. Spencer, Carly and Abbey. We sat down at the table.

"Hey!" I said cheerfully.

"Hey. So are you going to tell us why we're here?" asked Carly who has always been really impatient.

"Yep okay…….we're engaged…"

"Sam I'm so happy for you and Freddie. You two are perfect for each other!" said Abbey. She was really nice.

"And Sam's pregnant!" said Freddie.

"Oh my God!" Carly was practically squealing now.

"Yay this is so great. Now Holly, Josh and the baby can all go on play dates together!" Abbey said.

"Yeah!" I said.

Dinner was really nice that night. Spencer, Abbey and Carly were all so happy about the good news. We invited them back to the apartment for a drink.

"This is a great apartment Freddo!" complimented Spencer.

"Thanks. Is this your first time here?" Freddie asked.

"Yeah!"

"I'm sorry for not inviting you earlier. It's just this place needed done up and I only finished it a few weeks ago."

"It's cool. So how is work?"

"Good. I was off today but I'm back tomorrow."

"Sam are you working?" asked Spencer.

"Yeah I'm a fashion designer. I have been for the last month. I have my own shop Fashion R Us!"

"I've heard of that place!" Spencer shouted.

"Yeah I shop there Spencer," Holly told him.

"Oh yeah," Spencer remembered.

"I love your clothes Sam. You are really talented," Abbey told me.

"Thanks!"

The night was great. We all just talked all night. It was a late night. They didn't leave until two that morning. I was exhausted. I got changed into my pyjamas and climbed into bed with Freddie. It was my first night at our new home. I fell asleep with Freddie's arms wrapped around my tummy.

Freddie's POV

I woke up at seven that morning. I had only five hours sleep and got ready for work. I felt bad leaving Sam as she would probably be sick. She is off work for a couple of days and when she goes back she works in the afternoon. I couldn't believe that two days ago Sam and I were just dating and now I'm engaged to her, she moved into my apartment and I'm going to be a dad! Life was great.

Sam's POV

I woke up at ten and rushed to the bathroom. I was sick. Ugh I hated being pregnant sometimes. I wonder had Freddie told Mrs Benson about the engagement and the baby? I'm sure he did. I got dressed and left the apartment. I wanted to visit Abbey to talk to her about my pregnancy. She had been through it twice so she would be able to help.

I knocked on the door of Spencer and Abbey's semi detached house. Abbey answered it while cuddling Josh.

"Hey," she welcomed me, "Come in!"

I walked in and through to the living room and sat on the couch. Abbey put Josh in his Moses basket which was in the living room over by the window. She then sat down beside me.

"So Sam what's wrong?"

"Nothing I just thought I would drop by!"

"How are you feeling this morning?"

"Well I was sick again. How long does morning sickness usually last?"

"The first six to eight weeks. How far along are you?"

"Four weeks. I'm scared about having this baby Abbey!"

"Hey Sam listen to me. You'll be a great, fun mum. I've known you for two years now and you've known my two children. Holly loves you. She thinks of you as her second mum anyway. You will be a great mum just believe in yourself."

"Thanks Abbey and I am happy apart from the morning sickness."

"I take it the wedding isn't for a while."

"No we are going to wait a year and then hopefully I'll be back to my normal weight before I was pregnant!"

"I was pregnant on my wedding day and I hated it. You're better waiting. Your wedding day will be the best day of yours and Freddie's life. Well about the same as the day you're baby is born."

"Yeah. I can't wait to marry Freddie. I never thought when I was thirteen that I would be get married to Freddie we never used to get along."

"Yeah Spencer has told me everything. He also said that he knew that you two would end of together."

"Him and Carly are really good matchmakers."

"Yep Carly's the reason how Spencer and I got together."

"Really? How?"

"Well before I worked as a primary school teacher I worked in Ridgeway. With Carly. Carly and I were really good friends and then one day she introduced me to Spencer and that was it. Now we're married and have two children."

"Aw that's so sweet. I guess Carly sort of got Freddie and I together. I used to be a famous singer and I wrote a song about Freddie but he never knew who it was about. Carly is the only one who did. She told me I should tell him and she was right and now I'm getting married and having his baby!"
