Chapter 26

Baby Shower

Please keep reviewing this story.

Sam's POV

My phone vibrated. I had a text. I checked it. It was from Carly.

You and Freddie come to my apartment at twelve. I have a surprise for you.

I love surprises I wondered what it could be.

"FREDDIE!" I shouted into him.

He came out from the bedroom door stretching. I must have woke him up.

"What?" he said sleepily.

"Carly has a surprise for us. We have to go to her house at twelve."

"Well what time's it now?"

"Eight."

"Then why can I not sleep for at least another two hours. Seriously Sam!"

"Fine go back to bed!" I said grumpily.

"Nah it's fine now I'm up anyway now."

He stumbled over to the kitchen and got some breakfast. I could tell he was still really tired. He would be so grumpy today with me.

I sat opposite him at the table and finished my orange juice that I poured before I woke Freddie up. Freddie didn't talk to me at all. Finally I decided I would talk.

"Freddie….are you mad at me?"He looked up.

"No why would I be mad at you?"

"For waking you up."

"I'm annoyed with you but not mad."

"Then why aren't you talking?"

"I just have a lot of things on my mind at the minute."

"Like what?"

"Just work and stuff like that."

"You can tell me."

"Okay but this here is completely your decision….I've been promoted but if I take the job I have to move to London."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Well it's up to you if you want to take the job you take the job and we'll move."

"But all our friends and family live here and the girls need their grandparents. We can't move them half way across the world."

"Yeah but it's a huge opportunity for you."

"There will be others Sam others closer to home or here in Seattle. I don't really want to move to London. Not yet anyway. I'm really, really happy living here. I have a good job, great friends, amazing family, gorgeous fiancé and two beautiful daughters on the way. My life couldn't be any better."

"Do this for yourself Freddie not because of what you have here."

"I am don't worry."

"Kay."

Maybe that's why Freddie had been so quiet. I didn't think he would get mad at me for waking him up at least he told me what was bothering him.

We got ready and left for Carly's. We had talked longer than what I thought. A couple of hours actually so when we were dressed we drove to Carly's.

Carly's POV

I couldn't wait to see Sam and Freddie's faces when they found out this was actually a baby shower. I had fifty guests invited including Sam's parents, Freddie's parents and friends. It was going to be awesome. Abbey had organised the whole thing with me. We planned it for weeks and now finally it was happening. I unlocked the door turned of the lights and told everyone to hide. I looked at my watch 11:59. One minute to go.

The door suddenly opened. I peeked around the corner from where I was hiding. It was defiantly Sam and Freddie.

"Why is it so dark in here?" Sam asked.

"I don't know. I'll turn the lights on," Freddie said as he flicked the light switch.

"SURPRISE!" everyone shouted jumping up from the hiding spaces.

Sam's POV

I stood there in shock. Carly had organised a baby shower for me. What a great friend.

Freddie was in shock too. Carly came over and hugged us and welcomed us before putting on some music and serving nibbles and drinks.

I was enjoying myself so much. Then my mum and dad came over to talk to me."I can't believe it. Soon we're to be grandparents," my dad Neil said.

"Aren't we a little young to be grandparents," my mum said.

"Yeah. Thanks so much for coming. Where's Selena?"

"Oh Sam honey she really wished she could be here but Jack was graduating today from College and went there with him," my mum explained.

"Oh."

Jack was Selena's boyfriend. She had been with him now for about a year. He was really nice though. Selena did deserve the best.

My mum and dad left and Gibby approached me. I knew today there would be loads of people congratulating me or whatever you do at baby showers. I've never been to one before so the whole thing was completely new to me.

"Hey Sam," Gibby greeted me.

I hugged him.

"Hey. Thanks so much for coming!"

"No problem. I won't miss this for anything."

"Thanks Gibby that means a lot."

"Okay well I better go and talk to Freddie now. We have to catch up again more sometime."

"Defiantly."

And with that Gibby left. Carly came over. Finally I had to thank her for throwing this awesome party. I was enjoying my self loads.

"Hey Carls. Thanks so much for the baby shower. I'm having an amazing time."

"No problem. Abbey helped me!"

"Where is Abbey?"

"She should be here soon. She had to leave Josh and Holly at her mum's."

"Oh. This is a really good surprise."

"Sam I know you're happy but you look a little down is there something wrong?"

"It's Freddie.."

"Please don't tell me you guys are having trouble."

"No, No nothing like that. It's actually he got promoted."

"That's brilliant news."

"Yeah," I said looking down.

"It is isn't it?"

"It's in London."

"Oh. What's he going to do?"

"He's decided to not take it. I told him he should. It's an amazing opportunity but he wants the girls to live near their grandparents."

"Yeah he's probably right and there will be more opportunities."

"Yeah I suppose."

"Glad you're enjoying yourself Sam."

"I am."

Carly left and I stood there for a second taking this all in. I, Sam Puckett was in two months going to be a mum. I could not believe it!

I hope you like it. That's it until I come back for Belgium and Paris on Friday night so I won't update till Saturday! : )
