Five months pregnant
"Here we are!" Charlie grinned, pulling into 'BabiesRUS' car park.
Sam climbed out of the car, using one hand to steady herself. She threw her bag over her shoulder, and shut the car door.
Within three weeks, Charlie and Sam had become really close friends, and so today they were going to BabiesRUS!
"So do you have a budget?" Charlie asked practically skipping into the large shop.
"Erm, about three fifty." Sam said laughing at Charlie's eagerness.
"Three dollars, fifty! Sam trust me that won't get you anywhere, when me and Luke were going baby shopping we were on a tight budget and just managed to spend under $1500!" Charlie said taking a trolley and expertly guiding it to the clothing section.
"$3500!" Sam said rolling her eyes.
"Woops!" Charlie said giggling. "So, have you got anything yet?" Charlie asked looking through the toddler clothes for her twin boys.
"Nope." Sam said, leaning against the trolley.
"Okay, right so first you need clothes to take them home from the hospital." Charlie said.
"Okay." Sam said, bending down to look through the baby grows.
"Hey what about this." Sam said laughing, she held up a baby grow saying 'Hey, old lady, my mumma don't want your advice.'
"Sam! You can't get that!" Charlie said, giggling all the same.
"Okay this is cute!" Charlie said, passing Sam a blue baby grow covered in bugs, with bubble writing printing out 'mummy's love bug!'
"Too cute." Sam said giving it a quick glance.
"Too cute!? How can anything be too cute!" Charlie said shocked.
"Easily!" Sam said flicking through the rest of the baby grows. Charlie laughed and carried on sifting through the piles.
After half an hour, they decided on five baby grows, one was white with multicoloured hand prints on them, the second was pink, white, and dark pink leopard print, the third was red and white striped, one baby grow was white and furry, the hood even had ears attached! The fifth was pink with white spots.
Next they picked up a pack of brightly coloured of pacifiers, a pack of three bibs, each with a different slogan, one with 'if you can read this, then you need to carry on feeding me!' the second with 'this is not a bib, it's my cape, but mum put it on backwards, the last 'Why you looking at me, the smells coming from daddy...' They also got a packet of socks, which had cute frills on the sides. Sam also picket out a few pairs of various shoes.
"Oh my god! Sammy! Look! Converse! You have to get them!" Charlie said jumping up and down by the shoe rack.
"Okay, there cute!" Sam said, picking up a blue pair of 0-4 months converse, she placed them in the basket, and carrie don pushing it down the aisle,"my names SAM, Charlie." Sam said dragging Charlie past the shoes isle.
They carefully picked out some multipacks of tops, leggings, jumpers, and skirts.
"Sam, look! This is so you!" Charlie said passing Sam, a denim dress, with a pink fairy net tutu.
"In the trolley!" Sam said laughing.
Finally, they got a pack of PJ'S, one yellow baby grow with brightly coloured spots in a fleece material, the second a pink baby grow with the decoration of piglet, with a hood and ears. The third a white top and white pyjama bottoms covered in pink, blue, red, and green spots. Sam's favourite item was a polar bear dressing gown, it was white, and the hood had the face of a polar bear on it.
They took all the clothes to the cashier and paid for them it came to, $434 and 29 cents.
"Woah." Charlie said taking the bags and putting them in the end of the basket.
"Yeah." Sam said handing over one hundred dollar bills. (A/N don't know if they have them but... Yeah.)
"Why didn't we just wait and pay for everything at the end, we haven't finished yet." Sam said takin the remaining bags.
"Because in this store, they make you pay for it separately for some reason." Charlie said guiding Sam to the back of the store, containing baby health and feeding supplies.
(Sam's POV)
From that section we spent $283, we ended up saving a lot because I decided to breast feed. We bought sterilisers, sippee cups, teats, electric bottle workers, breastfeeding pump, nipple shields, baby spoons, forks and knifes, plates, bowls, etc. We paid and went to the furniture and bathing section.
We chose a changing table, that was white, it had a built in storage section underneath, with drawers that pulled out, so you could keep diapers, powder, etc.
We also got a white crib, that you could gently rock, a car seat which can also be carried from the handle. A high chair, a stroller, a clothes cabinet, a playpen, baby monitor, safety gates x2.
We then selected a baby bath, that was sky blue, various bath toys, brush and combs, hair slides and bows, baby oils and lotions, and baby wipes and powders. They also choose another light blue fluffy dressing gown, and some towels. One blue matching the dressing gown, a yellow one with a hood with the face of a duck, and other various coloured towels.
The furniture came to $743 seeing as we got a high tech stroller, the bathing equipment came to $189.
The final part was just toys, from which we purchased a rattle, bears, interactive books, a striped diaper bag, and other various accessories. One of the best bits was the bouncer, walker and the ladybug roller. The bouncer you would set up in a doorway and strap them in, it would bounce them up and down, the walker they could hold onto when they were older and help to start them walking. The roller, was a ladybug shaped seat that has wheels, and could roll on the floor. Those three items alone came to $1019, and the rest of the bits came to $346
We paid and loaded up the car, the furniture and some of the larger toys were going to be delivered next weekend, so we only had the bags. The diapers, formulae, etc we would be getting closer to the time.
I sighed and fell onto the passenger seat. Charlie walked around, and sat in the drivers seat carrying three squishy parcels, wrapped in tissue paper.
"I got you some presents!" Charlie said excitedly. She passed them over, and I grinned.
I tore open the first present, it was a top saying 'diaper loading' with a bar, that was half coloured in, then an arrow saying '75% done.' I laughed, and opened the next parcel.
The second one was a pink baby grow saying 'if you think I'm cute check out my mummy!' I laughed even more, and set the two items on my lap.
I took the final item which was slightly bigger, I opened it, and pulled it out. It was a white top, with two hands over the stomach area, it read 'Hey! Hands of my bump!' it was for me. I laughed some more, and hugged Charlie. "Thank you!"
"Your welcome!" She smiled, before starting the car up.
I sat in my seat, looking out the window. I hadn't had a best friend other an Carly. Since she had moved to Italy it was only me and Freddie. I have to admit it got lonely a lot. Gibby never came round more, he was obviously heart broken from Carly's departure, as with all of us.
Charlie was the bundle of fine, that livened me up. Yet, I felt I was replacing my best friend. These where all things I should be doing with Carly, and she was in Italy, and she didn't even know me and Freddie were together, let alone that I was pregnant.
"Sam were here." Charlie said gently shaking me.
"Oh sorry!" I said jumping a bit.
"It's alright, you were day dreaming." Charlie said grinning.
She jumped out of the car, and helped me up, we each took a few bags, and took them up in the elevator. I opened the door to the apartment, and put them in the hallway.
"Will you be alright?" Charlie asked warily, noticing Freddie's absence.
"Yeah course, Freddie's at work." I said smiling, I hugged her, and she waved as she walked back towards the elevator.
Sam lay with her head in Freddie's chest, she yawned.
"So you bought a lot today, get everything you need?" Freddie asked, stroking Sam's hair.
"Yeah, it was great fun with Charlie too, though she loves all the girls, cute stuff like Carly." Sam said rolling her eyes.
"That's good." Freddie said, his eyes drooping.
Sam knew Freddie ways tired, and he would be up again at 7, so she took her hint and snuggled down.
"Freddie?" Sam whispered.
No response.
"Freddie?" Sam said louder.
No response.
She shook Freddie's body, so he jolted upright!
"Is the baby coming!?" He said suddenly, he jumped out of bed, and pulled the suitcase already packed for the hospital from under the bed.
"No." Sam said, clearly amused.
"Oh." Freddie said, placing it back under the bed.
"I'm hungry." Sam said, rubbing her sore belly.
"Oh, I'll go get you some crisps." He said, his eyelids practically shut.
"No, I want Canadian bacon." Sam said crossing her arms.
"Sam its three thirty in the morning, where do you want me to go get them them from." Freddie said grumpily.
"Canada." Sam said simply.
