iLet Carly Stay
It's eight in the morning on July 3rd 2021. Carly calls from a payphone arriving to Chicago with some financial help from Spencer. She dials the number for Sam and Freddie's house. 555-1240. Freddie and Sam are just about to about ready to go work, when the phone says Incoming Phone from unknown number.
Kyle yells, "Momma someone's calling!"
"Hang on a sec Kiddo. I'm getting your sister ready," Sam responds
Freddie lectures, "I don't want you answering the phone to someone we don't know. That can be dangerous son. Just let the answering machine pick it up. Let's go grab you guys some breakfast before we go. OK?"
On the answering machine
Sam starts,"Hey What's up I'm Samantha"
Freddie continues: "I'm Freddie. This is the Benson residence. We're not here right now so...
Sam interjects: "Boring. Don't make us sound like nubs Look we're not in. You know what to do Later."
BEEP
"Hey Sam, Freddie It's me. I know you guys are probably busy with work or the kids or something, but uh..can I stay over at your house. I'll explain later. Kay Bye" Carly says after the tone.
Kyle mentions, "Dad How 'bout these GrapeNuts and that sounded like Aunt Carly on the phone."
"Hmm We'll check it Freddicini," Sam orders.
Aly agrees, "Ya Dad-dee!"
"Sammy see look at what you've taught our sweet little Alison. No being rude like Mommy. Say it Baby." Freddie says
Sam relents, "Aly that's not nice Mommt was..ugh..[Freddie's pats his wife on the back] Mommy was wrong. Say Sorry Daddy"
"Sorwee Dad-dee,*Mwah* [as she blows him a kiss,]" Aly apologizes.
Freddie asks, "Sammy.. What about..?"
She wraps her arms around her husband's shoulders, as he wraps his arms around her waist and she gives him a passionate kiss on the lips.
"Was that enough of an 'I'm Sorry' for you Freddie," Sam questions after taking a deep breath.
Freddie smiles and says, "Yep" Then he sneakily grabs her butt.
"Eww kids in the room. I saw hat Dad. Just check the message please for the love of.." he says grossed out
Aly says, "Ya!"
Sam mentions, "Aly, Kyle enough there's nothing wrong when a Mommy and a Daddy kiss. Go ahead Honey"
"Ok then," He plays back the message.
"Hey Sam, Freddie It's me. I know you guys are probably busy with work or the kids or something, but uh..can I stay over at your house? I'll explain later. 'Kay Bye" Carly says after the tone
They quickly get everything loaded in their Flanken Range Rover and head to pick up Carly at the airport. The Bensons all see her at the gate. Aly's never met her Aunt Carly before, only her Auntie Melanie.
Kyle greets, "Hey Aunt Carly,"
"Hey Buddy, you were so much smaller when I last saw you," She responds
She messes up his straight blonde hair and as he looks at with those big brown eyes and backs away.
"Hey Carls," Sam adds
Carly replies, "Hey Sam and Puckett why don't you introduce me to my cute little niece"
"Huh who's Sam Puckett?" Kyle wonders
"Hey Carly. Sam is what Mommy used to by, but you just stick to calling her Mommy. Ok Kyle?" Freddie
Sam coos, "Aly, sweetie this your Aunt Carly Say hello."
"Hi Ma'am," Aly mumbles
Sam gently sweeps Aly's wavy brown locks out of her bright blue eyes.
"Ma'am huh I see where she gets her politeness from What does Sam go by now?," Carly wonders
Kyle points out "Well, now Mommy goes by Samantha Benson or Dad calls her Sammy."
Freddie snickers, "My mom calls you Samantha Eden Joy Benson 'cause she's always mad at you Baby. Can you at least try to be a little nicer. I mean she's your mother-in-law"
"Oh I can say the same to you about my mom Fredward Matthew Benson." Sam says annoyed with her hand on her hip
He gives her a quick kiss on the cheek to apologize. She sighs. Sam looks at him, then her wedding ring and smiles. Freddie smiles back at her and puts his hand on her shoulder. She snuggles close to his chest. Kyle takes his Dad's other hand and walks close by Freddie. Aly's holding her Mommy's waist with her legs and has her an around Sam's back
Carly sighs looking at her two best friends. They have everything she wants love, a significant other, and a family. The trio plus the two little ones help pack Carly's stuff in the truck. They head off to work.
Freddie checks his watch, "We've got an hour 'til filming It's 9:00 now Babe."
"You've got it Hon Can we get my stylists and Molly and Kevin in here," Sam calls
Her stylist Jen Sampson dresses Samantha in a red blouse with a black bow, a white camisol, and dark blue jeans. It's accessorized with her wedding ring of couse, a gray cropped blazer, a brown leather studded bracelet and brown ballet flats.
Sam also gets into hair and makeup. Her other stylist Elisa Tallerico straightens Samantha's usually blonde wavy locks. She puts some foundation, a light coat of purple plum eye shadow and dark chocolate brown mascara. Elisa finishes Sam's look some apricot blush and some peachy pink lip gloss.
That may sound like a lot of accesories and makeup, but Samantha looks really natural. Elisa and Jen always make her look really natural and still Samantha, but more ladylike and professional.
Freddie even changes since this is the episode he will be on with his wife. He puts a white button shirt and shows his red t-shirt underneath that. He also has blue jeans, his wedding ring, his watch with a blue face and brown tenis shoes.
Carly compliments,"You guys look great, Who's Molly and Kevin"
"Thanks Carls, Moll and Kev are our best friends in Chicago." they say together
Aly plays with her toys and in walks in Sam and Freddie's friends Molly and Kevin with their two year old son Brandon.
Brandon says, "Hi Aly"
Brandon runs over to Aly and her toys. They play together and Brandon scoots over a block for Aly to play with. Their eyes meet and they glance at each other. The director walks in and notifies them that they have five minutes 'til showtime. Molly and Kevin hold Brandon's hand and they walk to their seats in the audience.
Aly coos with a sort of sigh in her voice "Bye" She then waves at Brandon and blows him a kiss.
"Uh-oh Daddy looks look Aly over here has her very first crush Aww," Sam says over to Freddie
Freddie in denial responds, "No she doesn't Baby 'cause she knows Daddy won't let her date 'til she's our age."
"Oh sure Honey Hey little ladybug do you like Brandon," Sam kneels down and asks her daughter
Aly replies with a smile: "Mm Hmm Brandon Nice boy Mama"
They go situate Aly and Kyle with Molly and Kevin and do the Samantha Benson show together
Kyle whispers as Freddie counts down with his fingers "In 5, 4, 3, 2.."
"Hey what's up guys I'm Samantha Benson and since Fourh of July is coming up tomorrow. We thought we'd do an episode entire about grilling. And on the show today we've got a a very special guest, who loves to grill." Sam introduces
Freddie continues, "That's right I'm Freddie Benson. Today I'm not only the technical producer, but a guest too. We're not just talkin' regular grill 'cause who can grill outdoors in the windy city of Chicago. We're talking indoor grilling."
They grill up some chicken, pork ribs and even fruits and vegetables also a grilled pear and with vanilla ice cream for dessert.
Sam announces, "Ok, now we're done making this delcious food. We're gonna take questions from our audience. [She looks around]. Yeah you in the green sweater."
"Hi My name's Nora Collins. Huge fan of you both by the way. Is it true pear is an aphrodisiac," Nora asks
Freddie answers, "You do know this is a family show right? But yes pear is aphrodisiac."
"Ok..next question. How about you in the pink miniskirt?" Sam moves on and asks.
Melina inquires, "Um.. I'm Melina. My question's really not about food. It's for Freddie. First off, Freddie I think you're really hot. You have amazing brown eyes. [Sam glares at Melina and puts her hand on her hip. Freddie just grins.] Freddie are you single?"
Freddie responds shocked, "Um.. No I'm not. Samantha's my wife. I thought that was obvious"
"What Why?" Melina questions
"Hey that's our thing. A) Freddie and I don't look alike, so we're not brother and sister. B) Because this is the Samantha Benson show. Why do you think Freddie and I have the same last name? C) Did you not notice the wedding rings [She holds up her and Freddie's left hands]. You have nice black eyes or at least that's what you're gonna have if you keep flirting with my husband You little..." Sam threatens
Freddie puts his hand over his wife's mouth and says, "Alright Honey that's all for our show today.
The producers edit that last part out and fill it with a second performace from the show's live band and used her pre-taped goodbye to viewers message. They clear Sam and Freddie.
At the end of the show they clear Sam and Freddie and move Carly in their guest room
"Thanks for letting me stay here guys," Carly expresses.
Sam adds, "Don't mention it Carls. We'll let you stay as long as you need to."
"Carly, I need to have a word with my wife Do you mind?" Freddie mentions
Carly answers, "Sure No prob."
"Hey whatever you can say in front of me you can say in front of Carls. What's the matter Fredward?" Sam retorts
Carly leaves the room.
Freddie says, "Sometime three's a crowd. Look I'm just mad at how you acted in front of the kids."
"Ok as much as I hate to admit you're right I really do, but she was hitting on you Honey." she explains.
He sighs and says "So what you know I love you Baby I would never do anything to hurt you."
She continues, "I know you do I guess I just got... jealous. I love you too Freddie and you're mine don't you forget that."
"I won't How 'bout since we've have the rest of the day off we take the kids to the petting zoo and see those cute little bunnies. Then maybe grab some candied bacon flavored ice cream like you like." Freddie says with a laugh
Sam says with a loving sigh, "Hmm I like the way you think Benson."
"I knew you would Benson," Freddie adds.
They take the kids to the petting zoo for a couple hours sans Carly 'cause like Freddie said three's a crowd. After they have some ice cream. Then they wash up and put Aly and Kyle down for their naps.
Carly notices, "Hey you're back,"
Sam says, "Yep we just Kyle and Aly down for their naps. They're both out like a light."
Freddie whispers in Sam's ear, "Baby I need you. You wanna head upstairs now?" She whispers back a yes
Sam nods and has this big bright smile "Carls we'll be upstairs if you need us."
Freddie carries Sam up to their bedroom and they have some pre-Fourth of July fireworks of their own
About an hour
Carly mentions, "Hey guys can you two hear me when I'm in my room."
"No why?" Sam replies
"Well I could hear the two of you together I could especially hear you Samantha now right?" She adds
"Like what?" Freddie asks with a smirk
"Mostly giggling, moaning Oh Freddie..Freddie...Freddie Sh- don't stop Oh Fu- I love you." Carly answers
"Oh geez." Freddie laughs
Sam blushes bright "You can like..hear me.. Oh man sorry Carls."
Carly shrugs her shoulder. Sam mortified at what Carly said, after just one day of being there wants to find her somewhere else to stay. The kids unaware of what happened wake up and the family goes on about their day.
