Chapter 32

Christening Planning

Please review! : ) Sam's POV

Later that afternoon Carly and I hung out at the mall with the twins. We went to McDonalds first and ordered a hamburger. It had been so long since I had meat.

"So, Melanie arrived this morning?"

"Yes."

"What's she like?"

"She's exactly like me expect more girly."

"I meant personality wise."

"Oh she's really nice. We have a lot in common."

"Cool. So when do I get to meet her?"

"Tomorrow."

"Okay. So are there any plans for a christening for the girls?"

"Yeah I want one but Freddie and I have hardly got to discuss it! We really should discuss it."

"I mean I'm not pressuring you to rush into a christening. I was just asking if there was going to be one."

"No we do need to start thinking about a christening. It's tradition in Freddie's family to be christened within the first month of your birth."

"Oh that's…weird."

"Yeah I know but Marissa wants us to honour the Benson tradition."

"That's a nice thing for you two to do for Marissa. It will probably be a really emotional day for her as it was a Benson tradition and Neil isn't here to see his granddaughters being christened."

"Yeah. Freddie was an only child too so he is the only Benson boy in the generation after our parents."

"Aw so the Benson name won't be continued on?"

"No."

"Unless…."

"Unless what?"

"You have a boy."

"Yeah I don't think so. Not at the minute anyway!"

"So how's things with you and Griffin?"

"Actually….I have something to tell you. I'm engaged!"

"Wow seriously but you've only been dating him for about eight months!"

"I know but I've never felt this way about anyone before!"

"Not even about Jake Crandle?"

"No, not even close!"

"Well I'm happy for you."

"Thanks."

We hung out the rest of the afternoon. Looking around all the baby shops and the shops for us. After Carly dropped me off, I put the twins to bed. Freddie and I had dinner and decided to discuss the christening.

"So…we have to start planning the christening soon."

"Yeah I know I was going to ask you about that as well as something else."

"What?" I asked.

"Well this apartment isn't going to last forever so I think we should sell it and move to a bigger house."

"Why now?"

"Because I bought the perfect house!"

"Cool."

"I'll show you it tomorrow."

"Kay."

"So anyway the christening-"

"And the wedding!"

"Yes. I thought you would have wanted to wait for a while."

"Of course I don't. I can't wait to become Mrs Benson!"

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"Now let's get discussing. Christening first. I was thinking 24th July. It's the 7th today!"

"Yeah. Do you want it at your church?"

"Yeah if you don't mind."

"No that's fine!"

"Cool. So I'll found up tomorrow and book it."

"Kay. So the wedding?"

"Yes. I was thinking Griffin for best man."

"Oh my God I completely forgot to tell you Carly and Griffin got engaged."

"Are you serious but that's only been like eight months!"

"I know but Carly said she's really happy so I'm happy for her."

"Me too."

The rest of the night we sat cuddled up on the couch and watched Mamma Mia. We sang along and really enjoyed the movie. I had a really fun night spending time with Freddie. I hadn't really been able to do that all week and I knew that I wouldn't be able to do it much so I enjoyed this moment right here, right now.

The next morning I woke up I was excited. Today I was going to see our new house that Freddie had bought. It all happened so fast I hadn't had time to tell mum, dad, Selena, Melanie, Carly anyone about the house. I would later. Freddie and I got ready and then got Lilly and Taylor ready.

Freddie drove for about ten minutes from the apartment. Down a road that was full of big, expensive, celebrity houses. He started to slow down but not completely stop. He looked over to try to find the right house. No way could he have bought a house here. Only really rich people who had billions could afford here. Since Freddie had been promoted and with my own shop we had made about $10 million but these houses looked more expensive than that.

Finally he stopped the car. I looked out to my right and saw the most beautiful house I had ever seen. It was so big looking. It was bricked with like big cream columns beside the front door that reached up to the second floor. It had a big front garden a black iron gates surrounding the front of it.

"Are you serious? This is our new house!"

"Yeah. Do you like it?"

"Like it. I love it!"

"Good. Let's go inside."

"Kay."

I lifted the twins out and put them into their buggy. Freddie pressed the buzzer beside the gate and the gate opened and we walked up the driveway. There was about five steps to go up. Freddie helped me up with the pram and he opened the door.

"Wait doesn't someone live here?"

"No I'm bought it about a month ago and did the house up."

We walked inside. There was a big marble staircase that led us upstairs. There was a balcony looking over the hallway downstairs. It looked gorgeous. I loved this house already. Freddie took me up the hall and in through a door. There was the living room. Just plain and no TV but a big white leather couch and a fireplace. It was cosy looking though. Just family time.

Then he took me to the kitchen. This here would be my favourite room! I loved food. It was a beautiful wood kitchen with some white units! It looked really pretty.

We went into this other room which was dark. There was no windows which was weird. When Freddie turned on the lights they were dim but I could see what it was. A cinema! We had our own cinema! The TV was huge like the ones you would see in the cinema! I would just move into this house today if I could. I loved it!

He showed me the bathrooms upstairs and downstairs then the twins bedrooms. Yes they had a bedroom of their own! There was a pink one with a wooden floor with huge pink flower stickers on the floor. It looked cute. The other room was brown and pink. It looked cute too.

Then he took me to our room. It was huge. It had a big bed that you would just love to jump on but I didn't. I couldn't believe this was our house!

"Do you like it?"

"I love it. Thank you so much," I said as I kissed him on the lips.

We went down to get the twins and then left the house. I took one final glimpse at it before Freddie drove of.

Please review this is the longest chapter I've done I think!
