Freddie Pov
The weekend is here and I'm going to the hospital with Sam to visit Mr. Puckett. We get there just as visiting hours are starting and Mr. Puckett is in his bed waiting for us. I'm not quite sure what I was expecting but I'm kind of surprised at how healthy and cheerful he looks. Also he looks kind of old but that is to be expected.
"Benson, is that you?" He said with a goofy grin.
"Hey, Mr. Puckett"
"I hope my Sammy hasn't been too much trouble"
"No way, sir we're happy to have her."
I looked over at Sam. She looked so happy just sitting there next to her dad. So beautiful (wait! What? Did I really just think that to mself). I turn my attention back to Stan who is watching me with a smug look on his face. Like the cat who ate the canary.
"How's your physical therapy going, Dad?" Sam asks with a hopefully look on her face.
"Really well actually, the doctors say I should be able to go home sooner than expected"
"How soon?"
"About a month and a half"
Sam looked down with a defeated expression. She was hoping it would be sooner. I reached over and put my hand on top of hers for support.
"Hey Sammy could you go get me some M&M's from the vending machine?"
"Ok Dad, brb."
"What?"
She rolled her eyes "It means be right back, dinosaur"
As she left Stan turned to me
"So… you're in love with my daughter." He didn't ask me he simply stated it as a fact.
"Wha.."
"Don't try and deny it. I'm not blind"
"I…"
"You'd better tell her before someone else steals her from you"
"Wh…"
"I will reserve this hospital bed for you if you hurt her"
"I would ne…"
"Hey, Sammy! Did you get my M&M's?"
"No" Sam scowled "I let that machine eat 3 dollars before I beat the stupid thing down. Then nurses "kindly asked" me to leave."
Sam's POV
After I came back from the vending machine Freddie was strangely quiet. After a little while Melanie showed and I kind of forgot about Freddie as I reveled in my reunited family. Freddie didn't seem to mind though he just sat there in a state of deep thought but I caught him staring at me a couple times. He would just blush and look away.
