Chapter 15

Sam's Birthday

It's my birthday today so it inspired me to write this story.

Sam's POV

Today was my 23rd birthday. I couldn't believe it. When I was sixteen I was a singer by the time I was twenty I had won best singer at the Teen Choice Awards and started dating Freddie now I'm marrying Freddie and pregnant. I'm only twenty three. My life is changing so much.

I stumbled out of bed. It was a couple of weeks ago since I found out I was pregnant and was now six weeks. My morning sickness had stopped thank goodness. I hated it so much. I felt so much better now in the mornings. Freddie was really over protective of me now. I guess he takes after his mum but he is really sweet. I started back to work on the afternoons. I was glad to do a job that I enjoyed and that I could be myself not someone else like I was with Taylor.

I was off work today as it was birthday but I was up early as I couldn't sleep. I can never sleep when it's my birthday. It the same with Christmas. I must of woke up early because Freddie was still in bed. I stretched before climbing out of bed. After going to the bathroom I woke Freddie up.

"UGH!!" Freddie was annoyed that I woke up him up. Especially when he was working today.

"I'm sorry. I'm twenty three today!" I was really excited. I was jumping about the room.

Freddie sat up and leaned his head against the headboard of the bed. I got back into bed and sat up beside him.

"Happy birthday Sam," he said as he kissed me.

"Thank you!"

"Here I got you a present!" he said as he reached it down beside the bed. He got back up with a colourful present bag.

"Here," he said as he handed it to me.

"Thanks," I opened it.

It was a necklace that looked like it cost a fortune and a matching bracelet. I loved it.

"Thank you Freddork!" I said as I kissed his cheek.

"No Problem Puckett."

After Freddie and I watched TV in the bedroom for half an hour he had to go and get ready for work. I hated when Freddie went to work because there was no where for me to go. I wanted to spend the day with him too as it was my birthday.

Freddie had left within half an hour of getting up. I decided that I should get up and tidy the apartment. It was getting really untidy. I know what you're thinking me Sam Puckett cleaning?

I cleaned every room in the apartment. The kitchen, the living room, the bathroom, the two bedrooms, the walk through wardrobe, the study and the ensuite.

I finally got changed after cleaning. I decided to go for a walk. I walked through the park, up through Seattle and went shopping. Suddenly as I was walking when I noticed the new baby shop Babies R Us. I looked in the shop window and saw a cot, a Moses basket and a pram. It was hard to believe that in seven and a half months I would have a little baby.

I come home in the morning light

My father yells what you going to do with your life

Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one

My phone was ringing. I had a new message. I opened up my phone. It was from Carly.

Happy Birthday Sam. Drop by the skl. I hav a surprise 4 u! cnt w8 till l8r! Luv Carls xox

Great I loved birthdays! Freddie told me I could get whatever I wanted for my birthday today so I went into my favourite shop Topshop quickly and got two pairs of jeans and five tops. I then left Topshop and walked to Ridgeway.

I hadn't been in Ridgeway since I came back two years ago. I walked into the place. It really hadn't changed apart from Miss Briggs and Mr Howard retired. The whole school were full of teachers from about twenty to forty. They were all sort of young. Principal Franklin was still principal though. I walked to Carly's classroom. It was the room right beside Carly and my lockers. I knocked on the door before walking in. Carly had a class. When I walked in I felt like I had done something wrong. About twenty faces were staring at me. I walked quickly over to Carly who was working at her desk.

"Bring a chair over," she said as she pointed to the stack of chairs.

I grabbed a chair and pulled it over beside her desk.

"I can't believe it. Twenty three years old Sam today!"

"I know. It's scary. I can't believe it. I can't believe I've been home for two years!"

"I know. Do you still sing?"

"A little. I haven't sang in a while apart from the song I'm writing. I'm going to perform it at the wedding I just need to finish it still."

I handed Carly the sheet:

She said, I was seven and you were nine

I looked at you like the stars that shined

In the sky, the pretty lights

And our daddies used to joke about the two of us

Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled

And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my

Take me back to the house in the backyard tree

Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me

You never did, you never did

Take me back when our world was one block wide

I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried

Just two kids, you and I...Oh my my my my

Well, I was sixteen when suddenly

I wasn't that little girl you used to see

But your eyes still shined like pretty lights

And our daddies used to joke about the two of us

They never believed we'd really fall in love

And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes

And said oh my my my...

Take me back to the creek beds we turned up

Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me

Take me back to the time we had our very first fight

The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight

You stayed outside till the morning light

Oh my my my my

A few years had gone and come around

We were sitting at our favourite spot in town

And you looked at me, got down on one knee

"Wow Sam it's amazing!"

"Thanks."

"Here's your present," Carly said as she handed me a neatly wrapped present.

I opened the present. It was a really nice bag and totally my taste. I loved it.

"Thank you Carly," I said as I hugged her.
