Summary: Sequel to iLove the Dark. How have Sam and Freddie's lives progressed since they got together?
AN: Honestly, even though this is technically the first chapter, it feels pretty filler-y. Hopefully it will still be enjoyable :) and chapter two is more interesting so stay tuned ^.^
iHave Everything: Chapter 01 - Fiancée:
Freddie grinned adoringly at Sam and reached for her hips, curling his index fingers through the belt-loops of her purple jeans and tugging her forward; she came willingly, melting into his frame.
"I love you," he smiled, kissing the tip of her nose. Sam beamed up at him, her eyes locked on his and Freddie slid his hands around her waist to clasp over her back. Sam draped her arms over his shoulders and nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck.
"I love you too," she whispered against the forest green wool covering his chest. Freddie closed his eyes and hugged his fiancée closer. His fiancée; he loved saying that almost as much as he loved the girl in front of him.
The happy couple's bubble of bliss was broken into by a disapproving sound from the other side of the room. Sam lifted her head and glanced over Freddie's shoulder to see his mother glaring at them.
"I don't think your Mum approves of our PDA" she laughed quietly and felt Freddie's chest vibrate as he chuckled.
"That's too bad," he took a few steps forward, backing her into the wall. Sam's laugh rang through the room as she held onto his shoulders and stretched up on her toes to meet his descending lips. Freddie pressed Sam against the wall and moulded his mouth to hers so enthusiastically that she seemed to forget they weren't alone and grazed her teeth lazily over his bottom lip before their tongues met and she threaded one of her hands into his hair, her nails raking over his scalp. Neither of them registered Mrs Benson's scandalised squeak, Gibby's encouraging whoop or Tasha's reprimanding Gibby. They were completely in their own world. Freddie thoroughly enjoyed the fact that he could distract Sam so entirely-
"Alright love birds, break it up." Carly called, breezing into the private waiting room and abandoning her luggage in the doorway for Spencer to trip over. Freddie mentally cursed Carly for being the only person who could worm into their 'zone' and stubbornly tightened his grip on Sam. His actions did no good and the blonde was out of his arms, flying across the room and launching herself at her best friend who enveloped her in a hug, grinning from ear to ear. Freddie trudged determinedly over to the pair, picking up Sam's fallen beret on his way, and circled his arms around them both. He mumbled something indistinguishable into Sam's curls and she tilted her head sideways and kissed his cheek. The three separated and Freddie placed Sam's hat back on her head, then picked up Carly's largest suitcase, intertwining his free hand with Sam's as Tasha and Gibby came forward to hug the youngest Shay.
Sam smiled, grabbing Carly's smaller case and motioning for the group to follow them.
They piled into Sam's people carrier with Freddie in the passenger seat; Carly, Gibby and Tasha in the second row and Mrs Benson and Spencer in the back. Carly, seated between Tasha and Gibby, leant forward to talk to Sam, chattering away a mile a minute about her husband Joel and their two kids Aimee and Daniel who were arriving the following day. Sam lapped up the stories about her godchildren with a happy smile.
The whole gang were heading to Freddie and Sam's house in Washington for Christmas where they'd opted to celebrate the holiday as Carly's beachfront home in California was smaller. Sam and Freddie's twelve bedroom mansion had three floors; and after Freddie had become a successful record producer he had converted the ground floor into a studio for Sam and his other artists to record their music in.
Sam drove into the garage, parking between Freddie's silver Camero and Gibby's purple convertible and everyone piled out. Freddie and Spencer gathered the luggage while the others followed Sam to the lounge.
When the guys arrived Freddie tugged Sam out of her chair and led her over to the corner sofa. He sat down in the middle and pulled her down in front of him. She settled between his legs with her head on his shoulder and her back pressed to his chest and he wound his arms around her.
"Awww, you two are so cute," Carly cooed, flicking her hair over her shoulder. Sam rolled her eyes as Freddie kissed the side of her head.
"You're adorable together," Tasha added from her perch on Gibby's lap.
"You're pretty sweet too," Freddie mumbled, hiding his face in Sam's curls. Spencer chuckled and shook his head.
"So anyway," Tasha laughed, "About this Xmas party?"
"We're having it in the main dining room; the decorations are all in there, ready to go up."
"I'm so excited for Daniel's first Christmas," Carly squealed.
"I can't believe little Daniel is a year old already." Freddie said.
"I can't believe Aimee's five," Sam added.
"I know; they're growing up so fast." Carly smiled, her eyes watering a little.
"Ah, don't get sappy on us kiddo." Sam laughed, reaching over to poke Carly's stomach. The brunette giggled and batted Sam's hands away. Freddie twisted Sam onto her side and pecked her lips.
"I love you," he whispered against her cheek. Sam didn't respond verbally, but she linked her fingers through his; even Mrs Benson smiled at that.
Casual conversation and catching up filled two hours and then Sam announced it was dinner time. She and Freddie were treating them all to a meal at her stepfather's new restaurant.
Once again, everyone piled into cars; Spencer and Tasha with Gibby; Mrs Benson, Carly and Sam with Freddie. Sam turned down her usual shot-gun position in favour of sitting in the back with Carly so Freddie's mother took the seat beside him and once they were all buckled in the group set off, arriving at the restaurant just over twenty minutes later.
A waiter sat them around a large circular table with Sam between Carly and Freddie and opposite her future mother-in-law.
...
By the end of the meal, the trio had their seats bunched together; Freddie's arm draped loosely over Sam's shoulders as the two girls cooed over the photos of Carly's children on her pearPhone.
"They're so beautiful." Sam sighed, leaning back against Freddie's side. "I'd love to have kids."
Freddie choked on his water and pushed Sam away in an effort not to spit any over her.
"Really?" he gasped, rubbing his throat uncomfortably.
"Haven't you ever thought about it?"
"I guess I just never really pictured us with kids."
"Oh, well, we don't have to talk about it now."
"We should talk about tomorrow. Who's going to meet Joel and the... kids?" Freddie replied weakly.
"Do you want to borrow Freddie's car Carls?" Sam asked, leaning over to whisper into the brunette's ear. "Marissa's going to get her hair done and Gibby's taking Tasha to see a movie, Freddie and I were hoping we could have the house to ourselves for an hour or two."
"Sure," Carly whispered back, blushing lightly, "Spencer, you and I are picking Joel, Aimee and Dan up tomorrow morning." She added more loudly.
"Okay." Spencer smiled.
"Great, everyone ready to go?" Sam asked. The group nodded and Sam left the table, heading for the kitchens. She came out with her stepfather Peter beside her, his arm around her shoulders as she laughed at something he was saying. Sam was extremely fond of her stepfather and had a great respect for him because he had managed to tame her mother. Sam and Melanie's lives had been a lot simpler since their mother had settled down. Peter kissed her forehead and passed her over to Freddie who stood and wrapped an arm around her waist, reaching the other past her to shake Peter's hand.
"How are you?" he smiled politely. "Good thanks, you?" the older man replied.
"Oh, you know, Sam keeps me busy." He chuckled, kissing her cheek.
Peter laughed and pulled the two into a hug before bidding the group farewell and returning to the kitchen.
Freddie threw his arm loosely around Sam's waist and led her out of the restaurant, the others following, Gibby taking Tasha's hand and Spencer ruffling Carly's hair. Laughing, she batted him away and climbed into the backseat of Freddie's car, Sam sliding in beside her.
AN: So that's Chapter One... hope you enjoyed :) xx
