A/N: I want to start out by thanking Emily for her review on the last chapter! It made my day, but unfortunately she doesn't have an account, so I couldn't reply. So I just want to thank her here and tell her she's very sweet. Love to you this week!

And now here's chapter 5. Yes, two new chapters in one day! I'm sorry if the story hasn't been super filled with Seddie so far, but I don't think the show will be super Seddie-filled, even if they get together, so I just want this story to be as realistic as possible. But there's a small Seddie treat at the end of the story, so stick around. ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own iCarly, but that would be frickin' shweeeet!

Sam's POV

I walked home solemnly, missing Freddie already. I was definitely not in a great mood, and he'd be able to make me feel better.

I can't believe Carly did this to us. I love the girl to death, but sometimes she just doesn't know when to stop.

I made it back to the apartment I share with my mom, and I immediately went to my room and collapsed on my bed. I suddenly felt exhausted. I was beginning to drift off when I got a text from my boyfriend.

"Talked to Carly and Brad, they feel really bad. (Unintentional rhyme, sorry) But I think everything will be okay. We'll take everything in stride together. We can handle anything they throw at us. Luv you"

I grinned like an idiot. We hadn't said the major L-word yet, but I knew we both felt it. I texted him back.

"I'm sure I'll talk to them this weekend before we head back to school. They would never do anything intentionally cruel, so I guess I won't challenge them to a duel. See, I can rhyme too. Lol, luv you more, babe."

I waited for a text in reply before laying my head back down. Talking to him was more exciting than sleeping. You know I must be totally crazy for a guy if he makes me happier than sleep. My phone beeped and told me I got the text I was waiting for.

"You're a poet and I didn't even know it. Lol, so I was thinking… I'm waiting until my mom gets home from work so I can finally tell her about us, but when she goes to bed, I thought maybe I could sneak out and go visit you, maybe spend the night. I just want to see you."

I grinned once again. I love knowing he wants to be with me as much as I want to be with him.

"YYYYEEEESSSSS! Come over as soon as you finish telling your mom!"

"Nice to know my ideas can be appreciated. Lol, be there as soon as I can."

I sat up in bed so I would stay awake until he got there. I was suddenly in a much better mood.

Freddie's POV

I'd have to wait until later to deal with the Gibby-Brad-Carly issue. Now I have something else to do.

I sat on the couch in our living room, waiting for my mom to get home from her shift at the hospital. I was completely nervous, but I knew it had to be done.

I heard my mom's key in the door and I sat up straight, waiting for her to come in. She finally got the door open, and smiled at me. "Hey, Freddie-bear." She had called me that since I was little, but a part of me still liked it. It was one of the few babyish things my mom did for me that I didn't mind.

"Hey, Mom. How was work?" I asked as I got up off the couch. I kissed her on her cheek and took her jacket.

"Oh, sick people, wounded people, complaining people. The usual day in the life of a nurse. How was your night? How did iCarly go?" she replied as she walked to the kitchen.

"It went… alright," I said hesitantly. I just had to start now or I'd never tell her. "Mom, I need to tell you something."

She looked at me suspiciously. "Okay… Is something wrong?"

"No, nothing's wrong, I just have some news I need to share with you." I smiled kindly. She smiled back, still suspicious. "So…. Mom… you know Sam?"

"The delinquent you call your friend? Yes, what about her?" Mom had never really liked Sam, which made me especially nervous to do this.

"Well, you see… at the lock-in back in May, we found out Sam had a crush on someone, then we found out that someone was me. So I asked her out, and we really liked it, and we decided to start dating, so we did, and we really liked each other, and we've been a couple for a few months now." I rambled until I had said everything I needed to say. I grinned at the end, hoping to make it gentler.

My mother looked… emotionless. Like she had no idea what to say. She suddenly took a deep breath and nodded. She said, "I assumed this would happen eventually." She grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator. She walked around the counter back into the living room and patted me on the shoulder. "I'm exhausted, so I'm going to sleep. Let's talk about this tomorrow so I won't feel like screaming." She kissed the side of my head, then walked down the hallway to her room, saying, "Love you, Freddie-bear," over her shoulder.

"Love you too, Mom," I said, confused beyond belief. She was clearly unhappy about it, but, at the same time, unsurprised. I guess it was the best I can ask for. I took out my phone to text Sam.

"I think my mom's the one who's lost her mind now. She's not happy, but she didn't yell, and she even said she figured we'd date eventually. She's a strange woman. I'll be there soon."

I grabbed my car keys from my room and pulled on my shoes. I heard my mom playing her whale and ocean sounds CD in her room, so I knew she wouldn't hear me sneak out. I opened the front door quietly and crept out into the 8th floor's hallway.

Sam's POV

I unlocked the front door and left a small note telling Freddie to come right in and lock the door when he came in. I lay down on my stomach on my bed again, excited for my boyfriend's arrival. I had changed into a t-shirt and cotton shorts, and I felt completely unsexy, but comfortable beyond belief. I hugged my pillow and took a deep breath in. The smell of laundry detergent always calms me.

I heard Freddie come in down the hall. He whispered a hello to my cat, who meowed in return. There was suddenly a knock on my door, and he entered without waiting for my approval.

"I could have been naked in here for all you knew, but you just came in anyways," I teased.

"I would not have complained one bit," he said back as he took off his jacket. He lay down next to me, rubbing the small of my back. He gently kissed the side of my neck and I stifled a giggle. I rolled onto my side to look at him. I still couldn't believe that gorgeous man was all mine. I hugged him close to me and snuggled into his chest. He touched my chin and leaned my head up so he could kiss me. "Even in pajamas, you are the most beautiful girl I know," he whispered to me between kisses.

Cuddling with my super hot boyfriend on my bed as he tells me he thinks I'm beautiful? Yeah, I can definitely get used to this. He wrapped his arms close around me and threw a blanket over us. I felt myself falling asleep, but I swore I heard Freddie say something before I drifted off.

Freddie's POV

Falling asleep with my incredibly gorgeous girlfriend in my arms? Yeah, I can definitely get used to this. Before I could chicken out, I whispered the three words I had thought for awhile: "I love you." Unfortunately I think Sam was too far gone to know what I said, but I was happy I had at least finally said it. I kissed her forehead and fell asleep.

A/N: Sorry if this chapter seemed like a filler, but… well, it was a filler. Lol, and I don't think that last scene will happen in the episode, I just felt like writing a little Seddie scene.

Also, the Review Button has a fever, and the only prescription is more reviewing. So you should definitely go do that so it won't die from the fever, since you know fevers mess with the enzymes in your body. Okay, I'll stop being a geek.
