It's back to being told in Freddie's POV for this chapter. Again, thank you so much to everyone for reading and reviewing.

I pulled into the parking lot, parked my car next to Sam's motorcycle, and carried the bouquet I bought for Sam. I went to Sam's favorite butcher shop, Wanna Meat?, on my lunch break and asked them to make her something special. They made her a bouquet of corndogs, shish kabobs, skewered pork, and drumsticks secured with a bow.

Wanna Meat? was happy to do it. Sam was their favorite customer after all. She gave them the most business herself and kept them from going bankrupt. After Sam tweeted about how awesome it was, crowds of people came pouring into the shop. Even though most of them thought they would meet Sam, everyone still bought something. The store had to close early because their entire stock was wiped out. Antonio had it ready for me by the end of the day and asked me to tell Sam hello for him.

I smiled as I carried it into our building. There's not much that Sam loves more than a variety of free meat for no reason. But then, it hit me while I was in the elevator. What if Sam's stomach doesn't agree with meat since she might have a…situation? What if I walk in and Sam is eating a bowl of spinach? We would have to get to know the produce store owners and apologize to Antonio. I would have to eat that entire meat bouquet by myself!

I opened the door, poked my head in, and saw Sam frying something on the stove. Beside her lay four boxes of bacon. Four empty boxes! Thank goodness.

"Hey Sam. I guess bacon still agrees with you?"

"Yep, I do love the bacon"

"You're going to love me too"

"I thought we agreed that I already do"

I walked behind her, put the meat bouquet in front of her and hugged her from behind with my free hand.

She gasped and snatched the meat away from me. "Holy chiz! This is great! Where did you find this?"

"Antonio made it special for you"

"You know what?"

"What?" I asked, wrapping both arms around her and pulling her close

She turned around, stood up on her toes and kissed me gently. "If you didn't have me, I think I would've gotten with Antonio"

I pulled her closer and asked, "And why is that?"

"He would give me all the meat I could want and I would keep him in business forever"

"I'm a lucky man"

"Yeah you are"

I reached down to kiss her, but she pulled away. "Uh uh, mama needs to eat"

"Because four packs of bacon was just an appetizer?"

"Yep"

"I guess I'm going bacon shopping tomorrow"

"You mean tonight"

"You are an addict babe"

"I tried, those meat patches don't work"

"How are you feeling?"

"Less pukey"

"Less? Meaning you still are puking?"

"Yeah"

She picked the bacon out of the pan and turned the eye off. We lied down on the couch together, with her back against my chest and my arms on her stomach, our legs wrapped together. "I'm scared" she whispered, before starting to eat the bouquet.

I kissed her hair and rubbed her stomach. "I am too. But we'll be okay. I'll ask to work extra hours. I'll sell some of the stuff I don't need. I'll drive the car less often"

"I don't mean just money stuff. I mean…I don't think I'll be a good mom. If I am pregnant"

"Why not? I think you'll be a great one"

"But I hate getting up in the middle of the night, what would I do for the baby if it started crying? I hate doing things for other people. I hate cleaning up messes. Look at my mom. I bet I have no maternal instincts at all"

"But you turned out great. Your mom didn't do as badly as some mothers do"

"Oh, so I can do worse? I'm going to be awful"

"I never said that. When did I say that?"

She put her plate and bare bones and sticks down on the floor, rolled over and buried her face in my shirt.

I stroked her hair and held her closer. "If it makes you feel better, I may not be a good dad"

"Oh good! Now our baby can have two bad parents"

"Sam, I'm sorry that came out wrong. And you may not even be pregnant. And if you are, we'll be great parents. It takes practice. We won't model ourselves after our parents and we'll raise our kids right. You won't be careless and I won't try to be a control freak, and we won't be anything like our dads. Our kids will be perfect."

"Kids? As in more than one?"

"Yeah, I want to have more than one someday. I want a house full of little Sams and Freddies"

"We'll see"

I tilted her face up and pressed my lips against hers. She kissed back and wrapped her arms around my neck. She got on top of me and kissed my neck. "I love you nerd"

"I love you demon. Remember your appointment is tomorrow at 2"

"Will you go with me?"

"Sure. I'll pick you up and take you after class"

"What do we do if I am pregnant?"

"I think we'll be shocked for a few hours. Then we'll get used to the idea and start shopping for pregnancy and baby stuff"

"Sounds good"

She turned the channel to Horror Flick 4, and shared part of her meat bouquet with me. Once her meat bouquet was finished, she dropped the bare skewers tied with a red bow to the floor, and soon fell asleep on top of me. I threw a throw blanket over us, turned the lights off with the app on my Pear Phone 4, and fell asleep with her snuggled against me.
