A/N: So I promised that with summer would come more updates… well I guess I lied… I'm sorry :/ but hey here's another chapter to hold you over until inspiration strikes again. Let's hope that's soon. Its kinda a filler chapter so bear with me! And guess what! You guys might be able to expect a sequal! I got a great idea last night!
Criffin got serious and fast! They became almost as inseparable as Seddie. As much as Sam, Freddie and Carly set time aside to hang out it seemed like they were growing apart. With the wedding and the babies on the way, Sam and Freddie were in a completely different place from Carly and Griffin, who were still in the honeymoon phase.
"Freddieeee," Sam whined from her place on the couch. "I miss Carly!" She frowned.
"She lives right across the hall." Freddie sat at the Benson's small dining table working on something Sam would have a hard time understanding. "Go see her."
"But she's always out with Griffin!" Sam continued to whine, "And I'm all pregnant."
Freddie chuckled, "I think you could walk across the hall."
"But I don't want to!"
"Then text her."
"You don't think I tried that already."
"Have you called her?"
"No…"
"Then call her!"
Sam glared at her fiancé and picked up her phone, "Carly? Where are you? I miss you! Take a break from screwing lover boy and come spend some time with me!"
There was an audible, "SAM!" from the other line.
"COME. OVER." After she finally got the green light from Carly, Sam hung up the phone.
"Carly's coming over," Sam smiled triumphantly.
"So I heard," Freddie briefly went back to his work, "Are they really sleeping together?"
"What, are you jealous?" Sam suddenly got defensive.
Freddie walked over and kissed Sam on the forehead, calming her down, "I have you. If anything everyone ought to be jealous of me."
Sam smiled, "I'll let it slide this time, Benson."
Freddie sat down next to Sam, "Have you put in any thought to the wedding? Like a date?"
"All I know is that I want to have it next summer. We won't have school, the twins will be born and we'll have a whole year to plan," Sam snuggled into Freddie's arms.
"We?" Freddie raised an eyebrow. Over the years Freddie had watched enough of those wedding shows to know that the bride is in charge.
"Yes we! I need help," Sam elbowed him.
"Are you sure you want me helping? I mean this is supposed to be your day."
"You'll be there too, Nub."
"Wouldn't you rather have Carly or my mom help? Or even your sister?" Freddie shifted to a more comfortable position.
"My sister's on the other side of the country! How would she be able to help?" Sam look at Freddie like he was an idiot.
"I thought she was coming to help with the babies anyway…."
"Like hell! She's going to college in the fall," Sam said adamantly.
"But-" Freddie began to protest but was interrupted by Carly's entrance.
"Hey guys!" She greeted the pair.
"Freddie, go away," Sam demanded.
"What? But-" Freddie caught Sam's glare. "Fine…," He reluctantly got up from his spot on the couch and went into his room.
Carly quickly took his spot next to Sam and the girls looked at each other with gigantic grins.
"So…?" Carly began.
"So… How's it going with Griffin?" Sam asked.
"It's so much better than the first time! He's really matured," Carly cooed.
"So he doesn't collect PeeWee Babies anymore?" Sam tried to stifle a laugh.
Carly paused awkwardly, "Well…"
Sam burst out laughing, "Oh God! Are you serious?"
"They're in storage! He's waiting for the right collector to come along… and then he's gonna sell them!" Carly desperately explained. "Apparently they're worth a good deal of money. He's gonna use the money to help pay for college…"
"So… basically he still has them," Sam burst into a fit a giggles.
Carly furrowed her brow, "Sam!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry," Sam caught her breath and wiped a few tears from her eyes. "But other than the PeeWee Babies, everything's going good?"
"Yeah," Carly smiled, "We're talking about sharing an apartment again or at least having me stay over more."
"Are you…" Sam's voice trailed off but Carly got what she was asking.
"Not yet," Carly reassured her. Then she breathed in and sharply exhaled, "but soon." Sam scrunched her face. Carly read her mind, "Look I know what you're thinking and we'll be careful."
"We were careful." Sam kinda whispered.
"Oh I know, Sam," Carly patted her best friend's knee, "I'm just saying that your circumstance is like one in a million. We shouldn't be afraid of sex just because you got pregnant."
Sam decided to change the subject, "I've really missed you Carls."
"I've missed you too Sam! I guess we're both just busy with our own things. Have you thought about having a baby shower yet?"
"I thought that was your job!" Sam looked at her, slightly befuddled.
"Well," Carly shifted uncomfortable, "I could plan it but you and Freddie would still need to go register somewhere."
"That sounds like fun," Sam chirped, "It would give us something to do! I'm soooo bored! We never do anything," she pouted, "Freddie so busy with iCarly paperwork and getting ready for college and job hunting… We need something to do together, he needs a break."
"Well, I figure out a date soon that way you two can go to some preliminary shopping," she smiled and patted her best friend's knee, "Can I see how the nursery's coming along so far?"
"Sure!" Sam led Carly to Marissa's old room. Carly looked around. She liked what they had done with it. The pale yellow would work until the babies got older and started asking for their own room. Hopefully by that time either Marissa would have move out or Sam and Freddie would have moved somewhere else.
"I like it," Carly said as she check out the half full bookcase.
"We still need to get a rocking chair," Sam told her, "We forgot that when we went shopping."
Carly nodded, "What about the wedding? Have you guys even picked a date?"
Sam looked at her confused, "Yeah like months ago, February 20th."
"Oh right sorry," Carly said absentmindedly.
"I'm supposed to be the one with baby brain not you," Sam let out a little laugh.
"I'm sorry, I'm just a little distracted," Carly, who had been facing out the window, turned to Sam, "This is crazy! You're nearly eight months pregnant!"
"I know," Sam put her hands instinctively around her belly, "Soon I'll actually get to hold these little guys."
"Are you and Freddie still keeping the names a secret?" Carly inquired.
"Yep! Hey come look at these save the date cards," Sam waddled out of the nursery and into the kitchen where there were stacks of save the dates and their matching invitations. "Marissa's gonna send them out tomorrow but here," she handed one to Carly, "That's one less to spend postage on."
"Yeah," Carly looked at the tiny card. The reality of the situation suddenly hit her like a brick wall.
"Here come look," Sam opened at white binder that Marissa had decorated. It had everything they need for the wedding. Sam was nearly done planning she just need a few finishing touches and her dress but the dress would have to wait until after she gave birth.
Sam and Carly spent the rest of the afternoon looking through her wedding book. Carls could only stay until four, she had a date with Griffin at six.
"Well don't forget we're going to look for bridesmaids dresses next week," Sam reminded her friend. She only needed two dresses, one for Carly and one for Mel.
"Okay," Carly nodded as she walked into the hall, "I'll see you later Sam."
