AN = Happy Holidays! Okay, I know how much of a horrible person I am for not updating, but I really am sorry. I'm back though! YAY! And I have a new laptop and I finally get Wi-Fi in my room! YAY! Btw, have you guys heard the news about Nathan and London's baby? I was silently praying for her to be called Samantha or something like that, but I still think she's really cute. Congrats, Nathan and London! (If you ever read this...) And since I'm in a very good mood, I have decided to put together a group of stories in this chapter, instead of just one. They're all unrelated, but I think they go well together in this mini collection. Enjoy! x
Disclaimer: I don't own-Wait, hold that thought... *answers phone* Hello? *starts to cry* No, it's okay. I understand. *hangs up* That was Dan, and he declined my offer. I guess I don't own iCarly. If I did, Seddie would have never broken up.
Baby
Even though I'll never admit it, I secretly love it when Freddie calls me baby. He calls me a load of different names, but baby always stands out to me.
It makes me sound so girly and weak, but at the same time, it makes me feel protected and calm. The way Freddie says it gives me goose bumps each and every time.
He'd never dare say it in front of anyone else. Same as the name 'Princess', he only ever uses it when we're alone. I used to think he was mocking me when he first said it, but it sort of stuck with me and I found a likeness to it.
We were both just sitting on the fire escape one really cold yet peaceful night...
"Wow, the sky really does look beautiful tonight," I admitted, mentally hitting myself for sounding so girly.
Freddie pulled me closer to him and I rested my head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, "Not as beautiful as you are."
"Sappy nub," I commented, rolling my eyes.
He knows that I don't really mean it when I insult him.
I began to calm slightly and I became more relaxed in Freddie's arms. Around everyone else, I always feel so pressured to be tough and to protect others. But when it's just me and him, I'm myself and he is the one protecting me. It's always been like that.
"Sam?" Freddie whispered softly, checking whether I was still awake or not.
"Mmm?" I muttered, opening my eyes.
"Do you wanna go back inside?"
I shook my head, "You're warm." Again, I mentally hit myself for sounding so stupid.
He chuckled, "Whatever you say, baby."
I froze for a moment and looked up at him, "Baby?"
"Yeah, umm, don't you like it? I mean... I-You-Sorry," He sighed.
"Hey, I like it. Don't worry," I told him, smiling weakly.
"Oh, well, okay then."
And ever since then, he has called me it. I have no idea why he said it to begin with. He could've called me anything, like 'princess' or 'babe' or 'sweetie' or 'cuteness'. But he called me baby... and I'm so glad he did.
It's true, though. I am Freddie's baby. He protects me and looks after me. And yes, even I need caring for sometimes...
(AN = I still think 'baby' is the cutest nickname ever when Sam and Freddie call each other it! x)
Sudden
It was quite a rare sight when Freddie walked into the bedroom to see his wife sat on their bed, reading a fashion magazine.
"Hey, baby," He smiled, leaning down to give her a quick kiss, "What'cha reading?"
"Some rubbish magazine Carly left over here a few days ago," Sam shrugged, patting the seat beside her, gesturing for him to sit down. "Wow, it's actually quite boring carrying a baby. I mean, I thought it'd be fun bossing people around to get me stuff but really, it takes a lot out of me."
He put an arm around her, "Don't worry, it will be over soon."
"You said that a week ago," She said, rolling her eyes, "You know, when the baby was actually due."
"Well, we have that doctors appointment on Wednesday to check that the baby's okay," Freddie reminded her.
She groaned, "Man, I'm never doing this again."
"Seriously? You said you wanted two kids."
"I know, but I never knew it was this hard..." She sighed, placing a hand on her stomach, "I hope this is worth it."
"Don't worry. It will be." He reassured her, smiling.
It wasn't long until Wednesday actually did come around and the two were sat in the doctor's office, waiting for the news on their baby.
"Sorry for the wait, Mr and Mrs Benson," The doctor said, walking back into the room, "Now, the baby is doing fine. Nothing to worry about. And the new due date is in a few days, Saturday to be precise."
"Are you sure this time?" Sam asked nervously, running a hand through her hair, "I mean, you were wrong last time and I'm in pain, you know."
"Don't worry, it will all be worth it in the end," The doctor told her.
"Is that all guys actually say about the situation?" Sam muttered to herself, remembering Freddie saying that a few days ago.
Once the appointment was over, the couple made their way home. Freddie got Sam comfortable on the sofa and made sure she had enough food before sitting down himself.
"It feels weird thinking that there will be a little kid running around this place in a few days..." Sam admitted, putting her magazine down.
"I know, baby," Freddie agreed, "But it'll be nice having a kid."
"I still think they're gonna have your eyes," Sam said matter-of-factly.
"And I'm pretty sure it's a boy," Freddie told her.
"Nah, this baby is a girl."
"How would you know that? I mean, you didn't even let the doctor tell us the gender."
"I just have a feeling. I'm the one carrying them and all," Sam shrugged.
"Yeah, yeah," Freddie said, rolling his eyes, "You honestly think they're have my eyes though?"
"Of course. And they'll have my curly blonde hair."
"That would be pretty cute. If they really are a girl, she'll look just like you," He smiled, pulling his wife closer to him.
She just smiled back and leaned up to kiss him, trying to avoid the sudden pain in her stomach.
When she couldn't take the pain anymore, she pulled away and realised what was happening, "Umm, Freddie?" She got to her feet, "I think it's time..."
(AN = Is it just me who thinks this would happen? I mean, come on. It just sounds so Seddie! x)
Tree
No one knows about us. Well, apart from the tree at the end of my garden. When I was younger, I used to call it The Big Old Oak Tree. I guess it's just part of me now. It's such a beautiful tree. It has seen my tears, me growing up, my boyfriend.
I have always loved the tree.
A few weeks ago, I said to Freddie that I was going to arrange a date for us since he always does for me. He asked if I was sure and I just nodded and got to work planning. I organised a picnic under the tree, yes, the same tree that has grown up with me. I hung lanterns, which I made, from the branches. I tangled fairy lights in the leaves too. When it turned dark, we both cuddled under the tree with a blanket draped over our laps. I awoke in the morning, still under the tree. Freddie was still asleep next to me, and I just sat and cherished the moment.
No one, or should I say nothing, else knows about me and Freddie. I don't think they do anyway. People have their suspicions about us, but no one knows for sure.
And I want to keep it that way for now...
(AN = Can you imagine Sam and Freddie secretly dating? I just think it would be really funny. x)
Care
It was probably the most longest lesson in all of history. Sam sat for the entire lesson drawing. She drew the paws to the panther which just happened to be attacking Freddie; she was happily entertained with her doodling until the teacher came over to her. She took the empty seat beside Sam. Sam slammed her notebook shut and turned to look at the teacher.
"What's up, Miss?" Sam asked.
"Well, Samantha-I mean, Sam. Principal Franklin wanted me to talk to you about your home situation."
Sam let out a loud groan, "Ugh, Miss, I'm fine honestly. It was the best for me to move in with Freddie and his mother." And Freddie and I will be moving out together at the end of the year anyway."
"Sam, I get that you think it was good to move out now, but you're still balancing school too."
"Miss, just listen to me. I'm fine about my 'home situation'; I didn't like living at home anyway. And I practically lived at Freddie's place. I always kept some of my stuff there just in case I wanted to stay the night, which was like every night."
"Okay, but I just want you to know that we will always be here if you need to talk. We're here to take care of you."
Sam groaned again, "Miss, Freddie and Marissa are taking good care of me. I have food to eat now and I have a proper bed to sleep in and I'm surrounded by people who love and care about me; that's all I have ever wanted."
The teacher smiled at Sam and nodded before walking away. What Sam had said was the pure truth. She only wanted somewhere she belonged and somewhere she was proud to call home. And the fact it was with Freddie was just an added extra. Yes, she admitted, her home situation wasn't exactly the best but she knew she was surrounded by the ones who cared about her the most.
(AN = Can you imagine Sam moving in with Freddie? Another idea which would be very amusing. I'm trying to decide on a new story idea and this could be it! x)
"OMG! You're home, sis!" Melanie squealed, running to her twin sister as Sam walked through the door, Freddie following behind her.
"I know right." Sam smiled, hugging her sister, "It's nice to see rain again; Europe was so sunny, it actually scared me."
"Hey, Sam!" Carly exclaimed excitedly, rushing down the stairs to the others.
"Hey, Carls." Sam said before giving her best friend a hug.
"Sam, where do you want me to put these suitcases?" Freddie asked from the doorway, where he was carrying at least three cases.
"Uh, you can just dump them there for now." Sam stated, releasing herself from the hug and rushing to the fridge, "I hope there's ham in here."
"I bought one yesterday for you." Melanie laughed.
"She literally went to the store just to buy ham." Carly commented.
"I'm glad." Sam said with her mouth full of ham already.
"You know," Freddie said to Sam later that day, "I missed you."
"I missed you too." She smiled, planting a quick kiss on his lips.
"No, I mean I really missed you. You can ask Carly, I went round there everyday to ask when you were coming home."
"I was counting down the days till I saw you again." Sam crossed her arms over her chest.
"Well, I arranged five dates for us in advance while I was waiting for you to come home."
"I wore one of your sweatshirts, which I took from your wardrobe before I left, to bed every night."
"I cooked bacon everyday, just like I usually do to wake you up in the mornings, while you were gone."
"I-Wait, are we arguing about who missed each other more?" Sam chuckled.
"Uh, I guess we are." Freddie agreed.
"And Carly said that eventually we'd run out of stuff to argue about."
"That'll never happen."
"That's exactly what I said to her."
"At least you're back now." Freddie smiled, placing an arm around her shoulders.
"Yep, I'm glad to be back. Really, I am."
"So am I." Freddie said before giving Sam a kiss.
(AN = That just sounds so much like an argument Sam and Freddie would actually have! Haha, typical Seddie. x)
Difference
There are lots of differences between myself and Carly. For example: we both have different hair colours. Although, appearance isn't what matters, according to Freddie. I asked him yesterday, "What do me and Carly have in common?"
And he said, "You both like... umm..."
I knew he couldn't answer, so that made me think about what the differences between us are. Well, apart from appearance that is...
1. I like ham and Carly likes apples. Big difference there then.
2. I love Freddie and Carly only likes him 'as a friend'. I don't really think any explanation is necessary.
3. Carly loves shopping but I hate shopping. I just don't get the point in it. Why do girls spend hours in the shopping mall? They're wasting their lives away!
4. I live with my mum while Carly lives with her brother. Again, I don't need to explain that.
Okay, wait, what am I even doing anymore? I will be here all night trying to list all of our differences. Same as if I tried to list the differences between Melanie and I.
You know what? If I wanted to waste my life away, I would've gone to the mall with Carly for the afternoon, like she begged me to for an hour earlier.
"Freddie!" I yell, "Why am I doing this lame writing thing!?"
"It's your biology homework." Freddie chuckles.
"Oh yeah. My bad." (Sorry, Biology Teacher.)
Well, to conclude, (does that sound good enough?) there are lots of differences between two people, and they're not all to do with appearance. Many differences aren't even noticeable, yet they affect our everyday life differently to the other person. No two people are the same. Like me and my twin sister, Melanie, we may look the same but that doesn't mean we are the same.
The end.
"Freddie, I've done my homework." I yell.
"Sam, I'm sat beside you. No need to yell." Freddie sighs.
"Well at least I've finished my homework. I bet you haven't even started yours." I smirk.
"Actually, I gave my homework in early."
"Such a teacher's pet." I laugh before giving him a quick kiss.
(AN = Okay. I guess it's over for now. I have a oneshot to publish soon, and it's basically me throwing a load of shade at Carly. Now you're probably asking yourself why? Yes? Well, because after watching iGoodbye again, I realised it was all Carly's fault that Seddie didn't get back together! Sam went up to the studio to talk to Freddie alone about getting back together and then she saw Carly kissing Freddie, so she ran away to LA because she thought she didn't have anyone left in Seattle. I'm annoyed at Carly, can you tell? Anyway, thank you for reading and please check back soon for more stories. Bye! x)
