Chapter Two: Happy news
"so THIS is your house?" Freddie said as he walked into the Puckett residence.
the house was actually somewhat neat. No food at random places, the place doesnt smell, theres food in the refrigerator.
"wow, its not a bad place," Freddie commented
"mom cleaned," Sam said
"oh, you're back," Pam Puckett said from the kitchen
"yeah, Freddie is coming over tonight," Sam said
"okay," Pam replied happily
"wow, your mom is in a good mood,
"so what do you think this happy news is about," Freddie said as he took Sam's hand and sat down at the couch
"i dunno, but im not so sure its a 'happy' news," Sam said and sat down next to Freddie
"why?"
"because... i dont know- i have a bad feeling about this," Sam threw her hands up
"aww, im pretty sure its not that bad," Freddie put his arm around her
"yeah, maybe you're right," Sam said playing with Freddie's fingers
"DINNER IS READY!" Pam shouted from the dining room
"COMING," Sam shouted back
"its gonna be fine," Freddie smiled
-Puckett's dining room-
"woah, there's only 3 of us tonight Mom," Sam said when she saw four sets of cutleries on the table
"my boyfriend is coming overr," Pam sang
"uh-oh," Sam said quietly
"its gonna be okay Sam, trust me. Lets just enjoy this dinner okay," Freddie said softly to her and pulled out a chair for her
Sam nodded and sat down.
Freddie took a seat next to Sam as Pam came back in to the room
"children, meet my boyfriend, Jason Snow" Pam introduced
"Snow?" Sam started laughing
"SAMANTHA," Pam eyed Sam
"okay, okay," Sam stop laughing
"okay, all of you sit down and talk, i'll get the food out," Pam said and walked into the kitchen
"so, you must be Sam, and you are?" Jason asked Freddie
"hi Sir, im Freddie Benson,"

"and you?" Sam said to Jason
"well, u know my name. Im a mariner at Seattle's marine centre," Jason explained
"so whats the big chizz today?" Sam asked
"oh, we are gonna announce a happy news tonight Sam," Jason smiled
"dinner is served," Pam said after serving all the food
"wow Mom, these actually look good,"
Freddie tried the food, "it tastes good too!"
"good job Pam" Jason said happily
"what happened to my mom,"
"Sam," Freddie said
"so, this happy news?" Sam said after a while with her mouthful of chicken.
"oh, right... Sam, theres gonna be a big change in our family soon," Pam smiled and looked at Jason
and that was the first time Sam noticed a silver ring on her mother's ring finger
"WOAH, its that a ring?" Sam said, gesturing at the ring
"yes, Sam... this is my engagement ring," Pam looked down at her ring admiringly
"engage-what? you're getting married with Snow?"

"woah-woah-WOAH, hold up here, how long do you know him? ENGAGEMENT? You never been serious in a relationship mom! Whaddup here?" Sam slammed the table and stood up
"SAM, CALM DOWN," Freddie made her sit back down
"Sam, i know its hard for you to handle a new dad-" Pam said softly
"SHOOSH YEAH," Sam interrupted
"but Sam, i have finally settled down. I just want to stop all these odd jobs, have a family, and just be a happy house wife," Pam explained
"Sam, im not asking you to accept me as a father, call me Jason, uncle, step-dad...whatever you want. But i really like your mom, and i just want to be with her..."
"Sam?" Freddie said
"okay, fine..." Sam finally said
"great! The wedding is gonna be next month on the 18th," Pam said
"so, a new dad..." Sam said awkwardly
"and a new home!" Jason said happily
"new home?"
"oh right, the second big change is that we are moving to Australia!" Pam announced
"AUSTRALIA?" Freddie and Sam said together and looked at each other
