(Here's the 9th chapter of my "The Futures of Sam and me" story. Thanks to The Time Traveler, luigifan2234 twice, Bongo Monster, Martin Seamus McFly, and Nightingale-Breeze for reviewing. Now before I get to my review replies, I'd like to say that I will reply to those who review my stories in the next chapter in this story like how I am right now. Now, for those replies.)

The Time Traveler: Gee, thanks. You know, you're always a popular reviewer, and I do hope capm does once again.

luigifan2234: I'm glad you like DDR. My sister kicks my ass at that game, and she's only 14; 3 years younger than me. I'm 17. About your other review, sometimes I have a tendoncy to forget that I put in the last few sentences, and that was the case with me that time when I jumped over i'm too lazy to sign in. What's your favorite song on DDR?

Bongo Monster: Thank you. Did that 4/10 mean that I got a 4 on a scale of 1-10? I'm very curious to know. Hopefully you'll check out this chapter.

Martin Seamus McFly: Sorry about that. This time I got it right. Sorry you thought it was boring. What did you want me to do to make it exciting?

Nightingale-Breeze: Thanks for the two reviews. Glad to hear your own opinion. I wonder if you liked my story. Hope you'll check out some of my other stories.

(A/n: I made a mistake: Clover, Alex, Brittney, and Jason are going to be in the final chapter. So, they're gonna be in one last chapter, just to clear all the confusion.)

10:38 p.m. -- Beverly Hills Neighborhood

Sam and I drove in our car home with little Chad strapped in his little car seat fast asleep. Sam was driving and I was sitting in the other seat.

"Boy, was that fun or what, Sammy?" I said to Sam.

"Oh yeah. And the fact that we're going back on Wednesday to Brittney's and Jason's makes me a little more excited, even if we have a pool of ourselves at our house," Sam answered.

"Hey, why don't we invite THEM over, and Clover, and Alex as well some day," I suggested.

"You know, that sounds like a super duper splendid idea!" Sam agreed.

"Maybe Tuesday afternoon or something, and we can even order some pizza while we're at it,"

"Sounds like a plan!" I agreed.

Sam and I drove our car into the driveway of our house. We got out, unbuckled Chad, who was still sleeping, and went into the house.

"I still gotta give Chad a bath, Mathew," Sam said to me.

"Okay," I said, laying off my early shower when we get home. I decided to play some video games for a little while.

(Sam's P.O.V.)

I quickly changed to my green bathing suit before I started to bathe Chad. I grabbed Chad after I woke him up. I placed him in the bathtub, then I stepped in and sat down on my knees. The water level in the tub was up to about 2 inches above the very bottom of my bathing suit. He splashed a little bit of water, which landed on various parts of my bathing suit, but he settled down and allowed me to bathe him in peace. After I was done bathing Chad, I gave him a few free minutes to do what he wanted in the tub. Chad crawled onto me and I began laying down, getting my hair and the rest of the back of my bathing suit wet. He started tugging at my suit.

"Mommy's wearing her bathing suit," I said to him after I stopped his tugging at my suit.

Chad wanted to get out now. I got him out, then I stepped out as well, and turned off the water. I dried him off and put on his diaper, and his one-piece fire truck jumper for his sleepclothes. While I carried Chad to his crib in our room, he fell asleep once again, and I quietly placed him in his crib, kissed his forehead, and gently tucked him in. Then, I began to change back to my regular clothes.

"I wonder where Mathew went," I wondered.

(end Sam's P.O.V.)

She decided to check out the basement, and sure enough, I was there, still awake and constantly playing. I had gone to the refrigerator before I started playing and grabbed a coke.

"Oh, there you are. Well, I'm done giving Chad a bath. You can go if you want to."

"Uh, you can go before me, sweetheart," I said to Sam.

"Oh, thank you, " Sam said sweetly back to me.

"And, Mathew. Tomorrow, we need to get to work on Chad's room,"

"Okey dokey," I said back to Sam.

(Sam's P.O.V.)

Before I went up to the bathroom to take my shower, I held out my arms wanting to be embraced. Mathew returned the favor, and when we released our embrace, I looked in his eyes and he looked into mines. Mathew felt his fingers moving toward the bottom of my green tanktop. I backed his hand away, but lifted up my arms and nodded my head up and down, asking him to take off my tanktop. Mathew slowly removed my tanktop and I put it down. All I wore was my green bra and white shorts. I was dressed like a normal girl at the beach. We embraced each other once again, and kissed each others lips. Finally, when we released our embrace again, I grabbed my green tanktop, but pointed my finger down at my shorts, asking Mathew to take them off. He embraced me instead, and moved his fingers down to the back of my shorts, and began to slowly pull them down. After he got my shorts down to my knees, I took it from there, and fully removed my shorts. Now, half-naked, we embraced each other one more time and then, I picked up my shorts, and walked up to the bathroom to take my shower. 5 minutes later, I came out of the bathroom wearing my pink buttoned pajama top. Then, Mathew went to take his shower. 2 minutes later, he came out and we both went to our room together. Before we got into our bed, Mathew and I gave each other a last warm and loving embrace and a long warm kiss, then we both got into our bed.

(end Sam's P.O.V.)

"Night, Sammy," I whispered.

"Night, sweetheart," Sam whispered back to me.

9:20 a.m. -- Sam's and Mine's Bedroom (the next day)

Later the next day, Sam and I woke up at the same time. We decided to have some breakfast before we got to Chad's room. We both had some bacon and rice, and Sam started to feed Chad some baby food after he woke up and I carried him in my arms.

We had a spare room next to the bathroom and we decided to consider that room Chad's new bedroom. Sam and I put up some fire truck and teddy bear wallpaper on the walls. We put in all of Chad's toys that Sam bought from the store yesterday. She had bought a ring toss, 17 plush toys of Pokemon, Digimon, and other regular animals. Sam also bought a lot of diapers, swimpants when she felt that Chad needed to learn how to swim, an air conditioner to keep him cool, and I helped her put his crib inside. Sam had also bought an airplane model that hung over the top of his crib so he could play with it. She also got him some baby pillows, and even got him a security blanket. Also, some balls, his own TV, and his own VCR, as well as some videos for little kids like him.

"Well, that was pretty fun," I said to Sam when we were finished.

"Mm-hmm," Sam agreed.

We had finished around 11 a.m.

"I'm gonna go for a swim outside," Sam said as she started to leave for the room to change her clothes.

"Okay," I said.

End of chapter.

(Well, that's it. Give me your thoughts, and I'll tell you right now, there are only 2 chapters left after this one -- most likely two I think. So for now, give me your thoughts, and I'll be sure to update when I can.)
