This occurs in Freddie's dreams. He's having dreams about the night he asked Sam to live with him/before he proposed/when he proposed. I had this suggestion (kinda) from a reviewer and I was like hey that sounds cool. Especially since I was blank.
Oh my God you guys, I'm so friggin tired!
Don't own.
Seddie FTW!

"I hate my mom!" Sam slammed the door open to the iCarly studio. Carly and I had been waiting for her for five minutes.
"Where have you been?" Carly demanded. Sam threw her backpack on the floor.
"At home. She wouldn't let me leave. She's crazy, Carly! Worse than Freddie's mom!"
"Hey!" I objected.
"What happened now?" Carly groaned. Sam threw herself into a beanbag chair.
"Well first I got home to drop my stuff off and she starts lecturing me about being gone too much-"
"She never cared before." Carly interrupted. Sam threw her hands up.
"That's what I said! Then she got all mad and said I was a screw up—"
"As the co-host of the most popular web show on the internet?" I asked her. She looked at me.
"Yeah. I said that too her too. Well, then she told me if I wasn't going to respect her then I better move out."
"She kicked you out?" I asked. Sam had our full attention now. It was the sign I had been waiting for. The one I had been asking for for almost a week.
"Yeah. Can you believe that?"
"Can she even do that?" Carly questioned. I shrugged.
"Well, I am 18 now so I guess she can."
"Well, where are you going to stay?" Carly was leaning forward in her beanbag chair.
"I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out. Can I crash here tonight?" before Carly could answer I decided it was the one shot I had at getting this right.
"You can live with me, baby." I suggested. Sam turned to me and gave me one of her "are you kidding me?" looks.
"You'd have better luck getting a porcupine to live with you than me, Benson." I felt like my whole world had just fallen apart. Suddenly it was like I was standing alone in a dark room.
"Sam…" Carly started. Sam shook her head.
"Just forget it. Let's talk about iCarly."

Two days. Two days I had spent wondering if she would really turn me down if I asked her to live with me. It was probably the second most gut-wrenching day of my life. It would either make or break my relationship with her. I waited until the people around her left and then approached her. She slammed her locker shut and turned.
"Oh, hey baby. I didn't see you standing there."
"I just walked over here." I kissed her.
"Soo….." she looked at me as if she expected me to say something.
"Soo…." I repeated her. She sighed.
"Look—"
"Sam, would you really never live with me?" the whole week of planning had just gone down the drain when those words came out.
"Okay. One. Ew. You just spit on me. And two, what made you think that?"
"You just told me so two days ago. And no I didn't. Please don't make this into a joke, I'm being serious." She groaned and looked around.
"You know I wasn't serious. I was just mad."
"You sounded pretty serious." She rolled her eyes.
"Freddie, come on. Don't be such a nub."
"Where are you even staying? Because I know you aren't at Carly's."
"Don't worry about it. Mama can take care of herself, Benson."
"Sam," I warned. She rolled her eyes again.
"I'm staying with a friend. Okay? Do I have your permission?" everything was going downhill. This was not how I planned this out. I sighed.
"Okay, we're graduating in a month," I started. She nodded.
"Yup. All because of you. Making me do homework and all that chiz." She shuddered at the thought.
"Did you want to be in high school forever, Sam?"
"No."
"Exactly. Anyway, please tell me where you're staying." She groaned again.
"Fine, you remember when you told your mom you were moving out?"
"Yes."
"That's where I'm staying. Just for now until I can find somewhere else." I took her hands.
"Sam,"
"What?"
"You are the only girl I want. Please, come live with me. We can look for a place together."
"Baby—"
"I'm being serious. It's not because your mom kicked you out. I REALLY want you to live with me." I saw a smile start to creep on her face. It faded just as fast.
"Your mom will NEVER go for that. She HATES me. And I don't like her either."
"Sam, let me worry about my mom. Will you PLEASE come live with me?" she smiled again and kissed me.
"I'll tell you later, after I get some food. Let's go. You can take me somewhere." She laughed and I shook my head, but lead her out of the school anyway.
"What do you want?"
"Surprise me."
"Pini's?"
"No, something simple."
"Fine," we got in my car and I brought her to a new Mexican place. She laughed.
"Mama loves Mexican food!" she jumped out of the car and I sighed and followed her.
I waited and waited and waited for Sam to just give me an answer. The more time I spent waiting, the more nervous I got. I wasn't even hungry. It only took her fifteen minutes to eat anything and everything they put in front of her. I chuckled, but then got serious.
"Sam,"
"Yes, baby?"
"Live with me?" she smiled again.
"Of course."

I was surprised I still had a grip on the camera. I felt like I was dripping sweat. It felt like it was 100 degrees in the room. Carly kept looking away from the camera and up at me. I licked my lips.
"And that's why you shouldn't give a monkey a pair of scissors." Sam laughed. We were finishing up our last iCarly episode.
"So Sam,"
"So Carly,"
"Ready to graduate tomorrow?"
"Do you mean am I ready to finally be done with school? Why yes! Yes I am." I laughed nervously behind the camera. Was I really about to do this? Yes, I was. I wanted her and needed her for the rest of my life. I knew that.
"I think we should take a minute to look at a montage of some of our best iCarly moments through the years. What do you think, Sam?"
"Why I think that's a swell idea, Carls." She said in a goofy voice. They turned to the T.V. screen.
"Playback." I said simply. I was less than five minutes from asking the most important question of my life. I stood by Carly.
"Are you sure you're ready for this, Freddie?" she whispered to me. I nodded.
"Yes."
"Okay." The video finished and they started wrapping up the episode.
"Before we finish our final episode of iCarly," Carly looked over at me.
"We want to thank ALL of our viewers for sticking around! We wish you luck in your futures!" Sam finished. I took a deep breath.
"Speaking of futures, our technical producer, Freddie, has something he wants to say." If there was a time in my life that I had been more nervous, I didn't remember it. I looked at Carly and then at Sam. She took a step back and then stood still.
"Thanks Carly." I took Sam's hands.
"What are you doing?" she asked me. I shrugged.
"Sam, you are the most amazing person I've ever met. Every single moment in my future I think about has you in it. I know we don't always get along and things between us haven't always been perfect, but I love you," I gauged her reaction to what I had said. She kept glancing towards the door, "tomorrow we make the second biggest walk of our lives together. Graduating with you is awesome, but it's not a forever thing." I turned to Carly again and took the box from her hands. I didn't know if Sam could tell just how fast my heart was racing. It was a huge risk asking her in front of millions of people, but the last time I had done something big on iCarly she had become my girlfriend, so maybe iCarly was my luck.
"Uhh, Freddie—" I got on one knee in front of her and her mouth just hung open. She continued to glance at the door and at the camera and then would look back at me.
"Sam Puckett, forever isn't just a word, it's a feeling. I will love you forever. I will respect you forever. I will make you feel like a queen forever. But only as long as you promise to spend forever with me." She looked over at Carly and then back at me. For the first time in the time I had known Sam she didn't have anything to say. I waited, the nerves eating me alive. I had opened the door for her and now she would either step through it and accept my proposal or she would slam it in my face.
"Ah—I—holy chiz," she couldn't form a single word she was thinking. Then she started laughing.
"Of course!" the best two words I had heard my entire life. I stood up and hugged her. She was mine and there was nothing that would come between us. I kissed her.
"I love you," she whispered. I smiled.
"And I love you." I slid the ring on her finger. It made everything complete. For a moment it was like it was just me and her standing alone in a big, empty room. Nothing else existed. This girl was my life, and I was fuckin crazy about her. I loved knowing no other man in the entire world would be lucky enough to have her because she was mine and mine only.
"In a month we moved in together, found an apartment to move into after graduation and now we're going to get married?" I smiled.
"Yes."
"You're crazy."
"Only about you."
"Okay nub." I put my hands on her face.
"I mean it. Sam, you drive me absolutely insane, but that's why I love you. There's never a dull moment when I'm with you. I've known for a long time that there was nobody else in the entire world I wanted to be with. You're all I want and need. And let's face it, I don't want anybody else to have you."
"I can't believe I'm going to marry such a nerdy guy!" she laughed. I kissed her. Again, it was like we were alone in an empty room. Her lips tasted like cranberry juice.
"Freddie!" I woke up to Sam's voice. She was shaking me.
"What?" I grumbled. I didn't want to wake up. I wanted to relive every amazing memory I had with her.
"I'm FREEZING! Did you turn the heat on in this room?"
"I don't know." I mumbled. She kept shaking me.
"Will you turn it on please?"
"If you STOP SHAKING ME." She stopped.
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine." I stood up and turned the heat as high as it would go, though I would regret it later when I couldn't sleep because it felt like I was sleeping in the middle of the desert.
"You're the best husband in the world." Sam mumbled. I smiled.
"I know."
