Chapter Five
Four months and a week pregnant
Freddie moaned slightly and rolled sideways, his arm feeling around for Sam. He rubbed his eyes, and opened them slowly, the bright light streaming in. He jumped out of bed in search of Sam - and breakfast.
He walked downstairs, his eyes adjusting to the sun streaming into the kitchen. He plodded barefoot past the front room, a sweet smell wafted up his nose. He followed the smell into the kitchen.
"Sam?" Freddie asked, eyeing Sam, pulling a tray from the oven.
"Hey babe." She replied, turning around and placing the tray of homemade fresh cupcake on top of three other full trays.
"What are you doing?" Freddie asked, taking a warm fresh cupcake from the tray.
"Freddie!" Sam suddenly shrieked, slapping his arm.
"What?" Freddie said through a mouthful of sponge.
"I'm making loads of cupcakes, so I can ice them tomorrow then on Thursday, I can sell them at the stalls, in the Seattle market." Sam said washing up.
"Sam, I'm not to sure, I mean I know I said yesterday it was fine, but your pregnant, I dont think its safe." Freddie said tossing the wrapper on the floor.
"Freddie you slob!" Sam huffed scoping the wrapper up.
"Freddie, we need the money, I already told you I'll stop when I'm heavily pregnant, you can't even see my bump yet." Sam said looking down at her almost flat stomach.
"I'm driving you there, and picking you up." Freddie said sternly.
"Fine." Sam said beating the batter.
Freddie reached forwards to take anther warm cupcake.
"Freddie." Sam said through gritted teeth, she glared at Freddie, until he silently put it down and shuffled to the chair.
"Can I do anything?" Freddie asked, watching as Sam beat the batter with such furiousity and speed.
"So you can put the trays with all of them in e fridge please." Sam said pointing towards the stack of trays.
Freddie jumped down, and took the four trays pulled high, over to the fridge.
He stood shocked. "Sam, why is the fridge filled with cupcakes?" He asked.
"Because I only have two days, and I need to sell a lot to make money!" Sam said not bothering to look up.
"Where's the food? And didn't the ingredients cost loads!" Freddie said, placing the trays in the limited available space left.
"Yeah, but I worked out the prices, and so I get a good profit, and the foods in the cupboards Freddie." Sam said aggravated.
Freddie realised he was infuriating his girlfriend, he expected walked towards the front room.
"Freddie, the door!" Sam shouted from the kitchen, indicating the doorbell ringing.
"But I'm halfway through..." Freddie started but was quickly interrupted.
"Freddie!" Sam shouted angrily.
"Okay, sorry!" Freddie said jumping from his seat, and walking to the door.
"Women and hormones." He muttered under his breath, and opening the door.
"Hey Fredward!" Sam said ruffling his hair.
"Oh hey spence!" Freddie said guiding him into the kitchen.
"Hey spencer!" Sam said cheerfully.
"Hey Sam, how are you feeling? Freddie said you've been feeling ill." Spencer said eyeing the cupcakes hungrily.
Sam looked at Freddie smiling, she walked over to Freddie, who placed a arm over her shoulder.
"I'm, I mean we, are having a baby!" Sam said grinning. Spencer's mouth dropped.
"Congratulations!" Spencer said clapping.
"Wait theres something else..." Sam said grinning further.
"Your not having twins are you?!" Spencer said worried.
"God no, anyway we've decided we want you to be the godparent of our little girl!" Freddie said laughing.
"Thanks guys!" Spencer said hugging the pair, they broke apart at the loud ring from Spencer's pocket, he pulled out his phone, and checked the caller ID.
"It's Carly, I gotta go! Congrats guys, I'l come round tonight for a proper celebration! But I gotta take this, I'm sorry!" Spencer rushed, and with that he left the apartment abruptly.
Sam shrugged, and walked to the bedroom to get changed.
Sam carried the boxes over to her stall, Freddie behind her.
"That's the last of them!" Freddie said, placing the final box on the floor.
"Thanks baby." Sam said kissing his cheek.
"You better go, you don't want to be late on your first day, and I need to set up, to be ready for opening." Sam said folding Freddie's collar down.
"Okay, I love you. I'll pick you up at four, that alright?" Freddie asked.
"Yep. Love you." Freddie said, he kissed Sam, waved, and left the market.
Sam started to unload the cupcakes from the boxes. She put them in colour order, and the remaining boxes with spares underneath the table, so she could reload the trays as they went.
She still had five minutes until the market properly opened so she decorated the stall with ribbons and a poster displaying 'Sprinkle-licious cupcake business.'
She displayed a price list, of the canopy covering her stall. She stood back admiring her stall.
"Hi!" Said a cheerful voice behind her, making Sam jump slightly. She spun around.
"Hi, I'm Charlie, I love your stall!" Said the girl. She had brown curly hair to her ribs, her face was an array of freckles, making her striking green eyes stand out. She was quite skinny and slightly smaller than Sam. She was very pretty, and had a distinctive face. She wore denim shorts, and a scrappy top, embodied with lace, over the top she had a plaid shirt, alternating red, blue, and green. The top blew out in the Seattle wind. She grinned, showing a set of white gleaming teeth.
"Hi.. I'm Sam." Sam said.
"Cool, my boss Natalie, well your boss too, she said there would be a new stall, next to me!" Se said excitedly, and giggly. "Anyway, my stalls right there," she said pointing to the stall next to Sam's, "I sell biscuits, shortbreads, flapjacks, and cookiees!" She said.
"They look amazing." Sam said eyeing the perfectly decorated and packaged confection airy.
"Thanks!" She said. "Anyway, the doors have opened, and time is money, so I take my lunch at 1, would you like to join?" She asked.
"Okay, cool. Thanks." Sam said smiling, she watched as Charlie walked back to her stall metres away.
By twelve o,clock the market was pretty full, Sam had sold two trays of Strawberry frosted cupcakes, one trays of the chocolate chip, all trays of red velvet cupcakes, and the blue raspberry flavoured cupcakes and completely gone. She had made almost $230!
"Ready?" Charlie asked grinning.
"Sure!" Sam says, she burrowed into her bag, and pulled put a turkey sandwich, and some lays crisps.
Charlie grapped a stray chair, and pulled it close.
"So how long have you been working here?" Sam asked, biting into her sandwich.
"Two years, on and off, whenever me and my boyfriend are struggling, I come here to make extra money." Charlie replied, "so how come your working here?"
"Well, same as you, we need the money, because me and my boyfriend are.. Well.. I'm pregnant." Sam said smiling slightly.
"Wow, congratulations! If you don't mind me asking how old are you!?"
"Seventeen, what about you?"
"I'm nineteen, how long are you?" Charlie asked, her eyes sparkling.
"Four months, and a week." Sam said patting her stomach.
"Really you don't look pregnant at all! When I was pregnant I was like a whale at two months, that's the only reason I found out I was pregnant!" Charlie laughed.
"Your a mum!" Sam said shocked.
"Yeah, I have twin boys, Cole and Blake. There right monkeys!" Charlie said laughing more, "here's a picture," she said taking a picture from her pocket and handing it over to Sam.
"There so cute!" Sam cooed.
"Thanks!" Charlie grinned. "So do you know if it's a boy or girl yet?" Charlie asked, finishing her flapjack.
"Yeah, it's a girl!" Sam grinned.
"Excuse me, can I place an order or are you busy?" A women interrupted, she stood a hand on her hip.
"Yes, sorry ill just get my notepad out." Sam said in a hurry, she pulled a notebook and pencil from her bag.
"Can I have your name, address, and phone number please." Sam asked trying to be polite, although she wanted to butter sock her for talking down to her, but she needed the money, she didn't want her baby to suffer because of her quick fiery temper.
"Why do you need my address and number, are you gonna burgle me!?" The women said alarmed.
"No, it's so I can contact you, and I can then deliver the order if you want me to." Sam said biting her lip.
The women didn't look impressed but answered anyway, "Mrs Wedlock, 29A Coombe drive." She said, taking the notepad from Sam, and scribbling down a number.
"And what would you like?" Sam asked taking back the notebook.
"My granddaughter is turning four, and loves sesame street, epically the cookie monster, so I was wondering if you can do cupcakes, with blue icing like the fur, and then decorate it by adding eyes." She said.
"Okay, I can do that, how many would you want?"
"200." The lady replied, making Sam choke on her crisps.
"Ill pay $500.." The lady said.
"Okay, and when would you want them by?" Sam asked.
"Two weeks."
"Okay then, I'll deliver them Friday morning." Sam said.
"You better." The lady said before walking off.
"She was rude." Charlie said chewing her finger nails.
"Tell me about it." Sam said wondering how she had held her patience.
Sam fell onto the couch, she was tired, and her breasts were swollen and sore. Not to mention she had felt nauseous since after lunch. She wondered why it was called morning sickness, when she had had it all day.
"So how much did you make?" Freddie asked, bringing Sam a bacon sandwich she had requested for.
"About $300! And this women is requesting these customised cupcakes but she wants 200 of them, in two weeks, but she's paying $500!" Sam said biting into her sandwich.
"Wow, I worked longer, and only made like $140!" Freddie said sighing.
"Yeah but, with your work you can get promotions, and stuff, anyway the markets only on twice a week, so I can get like $500 dollars a week, wheres she work five days a week!" Sam said through mouthfuls.
Sam set the plate on the side, and snuggled up onto Freddie she curled up her legs, and laid her head on Freddie's shoulder.
