OMG I'm sooo sorry for the late update, after the holidays I got a crazy cold and school and it was all insane but I'm updating now.

Even though it's been so long I still don't own anything

Chapter 11- Can I let you help?

Freddie had to take a moment to process everything Carly had said, and it wasn't until he saw her looking at Gibby with a worried look that he realized he hadn't answered yet. "Carly...this whole process is going to take a long time..."

Carly went to say something but he held up a hand to stop her "And it's really hard as it is. I'd love to just let you and Sam and Spencer and everyone help me, but I'm afraid too."

"Why?" Carly asked with a confused expression.

"The potential for everyone to walk away again." Gibby muttered quietly, understanding where his fear came from as he and Spencer were the only ones to notice after the accident as Freddie was struggling.

Freddie nodded toward Gibby "Exactly. I'm doing pretty good here right now, and yeah having the help would be nice...but what if it takes too long for you? What if I don't get better fast enough? What then? If you left again I'm afraid I would slip back and I can't let that happen."

Carly sat there quietly for a minute and shook her head "I won't. I won't leave again. I can't say anything for Gibby or Sam or anyone else, but I'm not going to walk away. You need us, and when I needed you you would drop everything to be there for me. It's time I repay the favor."

Freddie smiled and nodded "Ok then."

At Sam's house

"Mommy? Can I talk to daddy soon?"

Sam turned around and smiled at Ayden "Sure, I can call him later for you. I'm sure he'd be really glad to talk to you."

Ayden smiled widely and ran over to hug Sam, who hugged him back.

Ayden walked off quietly and Sam watched him with a frown "Hey buddy, can I talk to you for a second? Maybe on the couch?"

He flopped on the couch and she knelt down in front of him "Are you ok?"

He shrugged so Sam ran her hand through his hair "What's wrong?"

"Do you still hate daddy?"

Sam froze "Um...do-do I wha...what?"

"I heard you telling Auntie Carly that you hated daddy. Why do you hate him?"

So I know that this is short but I just wanted to get an update out there, love you all for reading
