SAM POV
I was now seven months pregnant, I was sitting on the Shay couch. I thought back to everything that had passed during the time I had spent here since Melanie arrived back home. I naturally expressed my doubts to Carly about my abilities to be a good mother, she told me I'd be fine and even let me help take care of the twins as practice for when my own baby comes. Carly and Freddie were now engaged too, in fact Melanie and I had been left in charge of taking care of Lisa and Eric while Freddie took Carly out to a surprise dinner where he had proposed to her, Melanie's idea. Of course Melanie and I weren't alone, Spencer stayed in the apartment with us, which turned out to be a good thing. I still remembered the incident clearly.
Melanie and I were standing with both kids lying in front of us, they were both crying. The reason was that, for some reason, although Lisa seemed to enjoy us being around, but Eric just cried whenever we came near him, and of course, with her being a light sleeper, this woke up Lisa and set her off crying too. I was totally drained and had no idea what to do, Melanie sighed and picked up Lisa and tried to get her back to sleep, just then, luckily Spencer came through.
"Guys, what's going on?"
I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Spencer, thanks God, Lisa's fine, but Eric just cries whenever Melanie or I go near him".
Spencer smiled and walked over and picked up Eric.
"I'll do this, you guys just worry about Lisa".
So we helped Lisa back to sleep, before long Spencer got Eric to sleep too and finally Carly and Freddie returned, they told us about how they were now engaged, everybody had been there to hear about it. That night, Carly had spoken to me while the others were in bed.
"So, how did it go?"
I smiled.
"Well, it was great, the kids were great, but..."
"What is it?"
I sighed and then spoke.
"My nephew hates me".
Carly looked confused, I told about Eric and how he always cried whenever Melanie and I went near him. She had smiled and explained that it would be okay, it would take time but Eric would accept me in the end.
I sighed again as I thought about other incidents that had occurred, Carly had been right. Eric did end up accepting me, after a nightmare Eric had surprisingly reached out for me. I did my best to soothe him and from that moment on both twins were happy with me. The diaper changing had been tricky, but still something I had to learn. The first time I'd accidently put the diapers on backwards, luckily Carly had managed to point this out and help me correct my mistake. Two memories of my time changing the twin's diapers stood out.
I had been watching TV when I noticed Carly approach me, she was carrying Lisa.
"Sam".
I looked up and then realised what she wanted.
"Oh, no way, not in a million years".
"20 bucks".
I groaned.
"Deal".
Once I became slightly more experienced my only real problem was that, between the two Lisa moved around a lot more making it harder, in fact three times I'd ended up covered in baby powder because Lisa kept kicking. I had to get Carly to help on these occasions.
I smiled again as I remembered something else, I knew Carly and Freddie loved both twins equally and the twins both loved their parents but just the way they acted sometimes and the fact that she usually went to Freddie I had once referred to Lisa as a 'Daddy's Girl'. Freddie had acted a little defensive but knew I was just joking around. These of course were all the happy things, there were things I wasn't happy about, for example due to the morning sickness I had been unable to eat any ham. Luckily when the cravings came on I managed to find a hopefully temporarily replacement for ham. Strangely enough I had developed cravings for various spicy foods. Just then I started and placed a hand on my stomach, smiling. My baby, I now knew it was a boy, had just kicked me. Carly walked in and sat down.
"He kicked".
"Yeah, Carls, thanks for all the help".
She smiled and nodded. Despite still feeling nervous I was more confident in my skills as a mother now.
"See Sam, you're gonna be a great Mom, okay".
"Yeah, you're right, I'm still nervous but, I know I can do this".
I smiled back, just then Freddie walked downstairs with Eric in his arms, Carly looked up concerned.
"What's going on, is everything okay?"
Freddie smiled.
"Everything's fine Carls, it's just...well Lisa's already asleep, but Eric just doesn't want to sleep".
Carly laughed and gently took Eric from Freddie's arms and gently cradled him.
"Daddy's not good at getting you to sleep is he?"
Eric laughed and after a short while he fell asleep, I watched as Carly and Freddie then took him upstairs, Spencer walked into the room and helped me up, we then headed off to bed. Before letting sleep take over I thought about one more happy memory, the twin's first words. Eric's had been 'Hi' he had said it to me, shortly after he had finally accepted me. Lisa's first word had been 'Mommy' melting Carly's heart in the process, I had to admit, it was sweet. Finally too tired to stay awake I finally let sleep take over.
End of chapter, next up will be some family time for Carly, Freddie and their kids. Hope you enjoyed this chapte, read and review please.
