"Oh Sam," Someone squealed as Sam, Carly, Freddy and Spencer walked out of the courtroom. They all turned to see a woman wearing an old pair of jeans and a t-shirt, her hair a mess and make-up sloppily put on running towards them.
"Mom," Sam asked looking at the woman, her hand softly placed on her stomach.
"Sweetie," Her mom said wrapping her arms around her, "I saw you on TV and saw the whole trial!"
"Yeah and?" Sam said.
"I am so sorry I threw you out," She said, "I want you back."
"No," Sam said,
"What?" Mrs. Puckett said, her voice become harsh.
"I said no," Sam said bowing her head, "I know you mom. You heard about the five hundred thousand dollars and ran towards this courthouse as fast as you could."
"How dare you!" Mrs. Puckett said as she stepped towards Sam, raising her hand as Sam clenched up, ready for the blow.
"Mrs. Puckett," Spencer said stepping in between the identical women.
"Don't step in between me and my daughter," Mrs. Puckett said.
"Do you see this paper?" Spencer asked holding up a sheet of paper from the folder he was holding, "You signed this paper three months ago stating that you were giving up all rights to Sam. You are o longer her mother. You gave away any right to that. I am her mother now."
Sam looked up at her mother as her face turned red and she huffed turning and walking away.
"I am a single mother with three children!" Spencer yelled grabbing Sam, Carly and Freddy's shoulders, "I could use a little compassion!"

Three Months Later
"I am so tired," Sam said waddling into the room and falling onto her back on the couch in Freddy's living room, "My feet are killing me!"
"Here baby," Freddy said sitting at the end of the couch and taking one of her feet in his hands.
"When did you learn to massage?" Sam asked.
"My mom made me take physical therapy after I stepped on a tack once," Freddy shrugged, "The dude knew I didn't need physical therapy but didn't want to mess with my mom so the whole week I went there he just taught me things about massaging."
"Your moms a freak," Sam said shifting her body.
"Yeah I know," Freddy said, "Where is Carly and Spencer?"
"Not sure," Sam said, "That's like the fifth time you have asked me that and why have you been doing all of this today?"
"All of what?" Freddy asked a sly smile on his face.
"You have been keeping me busy all day and you won't let me go into my apartment. Also you keep checking your phone and then you don't tell me what it says," Sam said, "What are you hiding?"
"Nothing," Freddy said as his phone vibrated.
"See!" Sam said pointing at the phone. He picked it up his phone and looked at the text.
"Alright," Freddy said with a grin. He stood and leaned against the couch and kissed her softly. She kissed him back laughing slightly. He pulled away and said, "You can go to your apartment now."
"What are you planning?" Sam said glaring at him. She threw her legs over the side of the couch ad held out her arms. Freddy grabbed her arms, pulling her to her feet. She set her hand on her stomach and stepped towards the door slowly. Freddy opened the door for her and let her walk past him into the hallway. He grabbed the door to Carly's apartment and opened it slowly to the darkness.
"What is this?" Sam said walking by him and looking ito the dark room. Freddy reached out and turned the switch on, a wide grin on his face.
"Surprise!" May voices screamed at once as people jumped out from various places. Sam looked around the room unbelievably. There were pink and blue streamers and balloons hanging everywhere and a large banner ran across the room that read, 'Ready to Burst!' Confetti fell around her as she looked at the many faces staring back. Carly, Spencer, Freddy, Mrs. Benson, Gibby and a bunch of people from school stood around her smiling.
"What is this?" Sam asked a smile on her face.
"A surprise baby shower," Carly said, "We have been planning it for weeks!"
"Oh my god!" Sam said shaking her head smiling and looking around the room, "Is that an entire platter of ham?!"
"Of course," Mrs. Benson said, "Spent all afternoon cooking with Spencer."
"This is," Sam said staring at all the people, "This is amazing!"
"Sit!" Carly said grabbing her hand, "We got you presents!"
"Hell yes!" Sam said
"Open my present first," Spencer yelled dragging a large box wrapped in green wrapping, "I made it myself."
"You always make everything yourself," Sam said ripping the paper and opening the cardboard. The box fell apart to show a white cradle with green lace around the edges and on the top.
"When you choose a name I'll put it on it," Spencer said.
"This is beautiful!" Sam said smiling widely. She ran her finger across the glossy paint.
"Mine next baby," Carly said handing her a small box. She opened it slowly to see a little silver heart locket with a smaller diamond heart on it.
"It's a baby necklace for the baby," Carly said, "It has your picture in it already."
"It's beautiful Carly," Sam said hugging her.
"Here," Mrs. Benson said holding out a large but light box, "Its diapers. When I had my baby shower everyone bought me all kinds of things but no one got me diapers and thasts what I ended up needing the most."
"Thinks Mrs. B," Sam said.
"Mine next," Gibby said handing her a wrapped box. She took off the wrapping to see a set of five bottles and three pacifiers with Pooh Bear on them.
"Their adorable," Sam said, setting them next to her and taking the next gift handed to her. After four blankets, two pillows, another set of bottles, many different outfits shoes and caps their were no more gifts.
"This is great," Sam said looking up at all of them, "All of this is great. Thank you so much."
"One last thing," Freddy said stepping up, "You forgot my present."
"What is it?" Sam asked. She stared at him as he slowly got onto one knee and pulled out a little white box from his pocket.
"Samantha Puckett," Freddy whispered opening the box to show silver ring with a diamond on it surrounded by little sapphire gems, "Will you marry me?"
"Freddy," Sam whispered as she and every other person in the room started down at Freddy unbelievably, "Of course I will marry you, you nub!"
Sam, after a few moments of struggle stood and wrapped her arms around Freddy's neck. He wrapped his own arms around her waist and pulled her as close as the baby would allow them and stared down in to her blue-gray eyes. He leaned in and kissed her softly. With a smile on her lips she kissed him back.
The rest of the night was spent laughing, playing games, eating food ad a trip to the ER to stitch up a wound Spencer got from a game of Pin-The-Tail-On-The-Donkey. As each guest left the party, Sam only had one thing on mind, a nice hot shower. She said goodbye to the last guest she closed the door and walked through the living room. She said good night to Carly and Spencer, who were cleaning up from the party and went up the stairs slowly. She got into the bathroom and undressed slowly ad turned the faucet on. She stood in front of the mirror waiting for the water to heat up, staring at her nude body.
"Hey," Sam whispered as she pressed her hand on her stomach softly, "Aunt Carly said that you could hear me. I'm your mommy. Just so you know, you will never meet your real daddy but you will have a guy that's pretty damn close. No matter what, he will always love you, him and mommy. We will both always be here when you scratch your knee and when a boy breaks your heart and I have to kill him. I won't be like grandma. I promise you."
She smiled and pulled away the curtain stepping into the warm water. She closed her eyes and held her stomach smiling as the hot water ran down her body. Suddenly there was a stabbing pain in her side. She screamed out grabbing her side, the pain wrenching her body. She bent over and shrieked as loud as she could. The pain boiled inside of her abdomen even more as it spread throughout her entire body. She looked up at the door clenching as the locked doorknob jiggled. She cried out, a sob molding into a spine-chilling scream. She clenched the shower curtain, pulling it and the rod down to the ground with a clatter. She screamed as her entire body shook with pain.
"Sam," Spencer yelled busted the locked door open and looked down at her naked body and turning away, "Oh shit, Carly!"
"Sam," Carly said running in. She grabbed a towel off of the counter and wrapped it around her, "Spencer grab her sweat pants and help me put them on her, now!"
Spencer grabbed the pants and started to put one of her legs into it, looking to the side. He pulled her pants up onto her thighs and handed carly her t-shirt.
"Go get Freddy and get the car started!" Carly said pulling Sam to her feet as Spencer ran down stairs, "Sam, we have to get you to the elevator in the studio."
"I can't," Sam gasped, the pain twisting her insides, "I can't move!"
"Yes you can damn it!" Carly yelled, "If you want this baby to be safe you have to move to the elevator. I can't carry you!"
Sam cried out in pain as she took her first step towards the door. She walked slowly, Carly as her aid, to the elevator in the studio and waited as Carly grabbed her bag of items they had prepared for this night. They went down the elevator to meet Spencer, Freddy and Mrs. Benson ready with the car. Sam groaned and screamed the entire ride, the pain getting worse and worse.
Spencer pulled up in the front of the hospital and before he could put the brake in place, Freddy ran around to open the door. With strength none of them had expected he lifted Sam in his arms and whispered to her as he easily carried her into the large double doors, Carly and Ms. Benson following as Spencer parked.
"Everything will be okay," He whispered to her carrying her into the bright hospital Emergency Room.
"She went into labor," Carly yelled running up to the receptionist.
"Alright calm down," the nurse said walking around the desk and pulling a wheel chair from somewhere behind the desk, "When is she due?"
"Not for another three weeks," Carly said.
"How far apart are the contractions?" The nurse asked pulling the wheelchair up to Freddy. He set her down and grabbed her hand.
"It's pretty constant," Freddy said staring down at Sam.
"Give me a freaking shot or something!" Sam yelled clenching Freddy's hand, "Or I will break your damn hand!"
"Help me," He begged looking over at his mother.
"Sam," Mrs. Benson said holding her shoulder, "Calm down sweetie and breathe."
"I am breathing!" Sam yelled.
"Is she okay?" Spencer asked running up and leaning in towards her.
"Get away from me!" Sam yelled her face bright red.
"Don't worry this is normal," The nurse said taking the wheelchair and leading Sam and the others to a room. She walked up to a phone on the wall and pressed a few buttons holding it to her ear.
"Don't tell me what's normal woman!" Sam growled.
"Doctor Fredrick," The nurse said into the phone, "We have a young girl here that just went into labor. Could you and a few nurses get down here?"
"Tell them to bring a god damn numbing shot!" Sam yelled.
"We already chose that there would be no shots," Freddy said, "It's all natural."
"Screw natural!" Sam yelled thrashing her head, "Give me a freaking pain killer!"
A few nurses walked into the room quickly and picked up Sam putting her onto the bed.
"Everyone who is not staying for delivery go to the waiting room," The nurse said, "Those who are staying follow me to get ready."
"Sam," Spencer said walking up to her, "You will be okay I promise you." She nodded up at him, tears in her eyes. He leaned in and kissed her forehead. He walked out of the room to the waiting area.
"Baby," Freddy whispered leaning close to Sam, "Be strong baby, like have been this entire time. I love you."
"I love you too," Sam whispered before gasping I pain. Freddy kissed her lips softly, though she was grimacing in pain and followed Spencer into the waiting room. Carly and Mrs. Benson followed the nurse into the next room to get ready for the delivery.
Spencer sat in the closest chair and set his elbows on his knees bending over, his foot tapping franticly. Freddy paced along the row of chairs over and over, time going slower each time.
He could hear Sam screaming only a few rooms away. Her cries got louder and louder.
"I can't take this!" Freddy yelped, "She's in there, in so much pain, and I can do nothing about it."
"Freddy there is nothing you could do," Spencer said. He patted the seat beside him, "Here sit down."
"But she is crying so loudly," Freddy whined sitting, "I hate to hear her I so much pain!"
"Miracles aren't easy to come by Freddy," Spencer said putting his arm over Freddy's shoulder, "To have happiness, you have to work and I promise you that the second Sam looks into the eyes of that little baby, all that waiting and all of this pain, will be worth it."
"Yeah," Freddy said bowing his head, "Wait. Do you hear that?"
"No," Spencer said listening to the silence, "I don't hear anything."
"Exactly," Freddy said, "Sam stopped screaming."
"So?" Spencer said.
"But there is no baby cries," Freddy said looking at Spencer, "Why isn't there any crying baby sounds?!"
Both men stood at once and ran towards the double doors that led into the emergency area. They ran up to the door that Sam was behind and pulled it open. They stood paralyzed at the sight before them.
