Chapter 12- Oh My God

Sam blinked a few times and just stared at Ayden, who was looking back at her innocently "Umm...I..I don't hate daddy. What I said was out of anger and I never should have said it."

Ayden tilted his head "You don't hate daddy?"

Sam smiled and shook her head "No sweetie. I could never hate your daddy, so you don't ever have to worry about that ok?"

Ayden nodded, seemingly happy about Sam's answer and Sam stood up grabbing the phone "Let's call him now ok?"

She saw Ayden's face light up and smiled as she dialed the still familiar numbers of Freddie's cellphone.

"Hello?"

"Freddie? It's Sam."

Freddie laughed on the other end "I know, I do remember your cell number. What's up? Is everything ok?"

Sam smiled and motioned for Ayden to come over "Everything is fine, I have this little boy here who wants to talk to his dad, can you help him out with that?"

She could hear Freddie rummaging around and then he laughed quietly "Yup, I might know someone"

She handed Ayden the phone and he sat on the couch rambling on excitedly to Freddie, telling him everything he could think of while Sam headed back into the kitchen to clean up after supper.

About 15 minutes later Ayden came running back in and handed her the phone "Daddy says hi...I'm gonna play upstairs." he ran up the stairs happily.

The next day at Carly's

Sam knocked on Carly's door, balancing Ayden on her hip while he played with a toy car along her shoulder. Carly opened the door after a few knocks and laughed when she saw Ayden before moving out of the way so they could walk in.

"Hey buddy, why don't you go show Uncle Gibby your new cars? You know he loves playing with them as much as you do."

Ayden nodded and ran off to search for Gibby and Carly sat down at the table with Sam, bringing some ham with her, laughing as Sam immediately reached for the plate "What's up? You seemed sort of...feaked out when you called."

Sam finished the ham she was chewing and then sighed "He heard me."

Carly looked confused "Who heard you what?"

"Ayden heard me ranting to you one day and he heard me say that I hated Freddie."

"Are you serious? What did he say?" Carly asked with her eyes wide and hand in mid-reach

for her drink.

Sam dropped her ham and rested her head on her arms "He asked me why I hated his daddy. I swear Carly I felt my heart break into a dozen pieces. I told him I didn't hate Freddie, that I never could hate him...it hurt."

Carly nodded "Well yeah, it can't be easy to have a child who is afraid you hate his dad."

Sam shook her head "No, I mean yeah, that hurt too, but the thought of hating Freddie it...hurts to think about."

Both Carly and Sam sat there quietly, lost in their own thoughts until Carly looked up "What do you think that means? That it hurts to think about hating Freddie?"

Sam shrugged and Gibby walked into the room "You know what I just thought of? I think that love is crazy. It's always there."

They both looked at him confused and he continued "It's always there...if you love someone, like truly love them then I don't think you can just stop. I mean if you can turn that love on and off, well it's not a very serious love right? I know even if Carly and I were to split up tomorrow..." he paused to lean over and kiss her on the cheek "Which I hope will never happen...I would still love her everyday because I'm in love with her and that can't just, I dunno, go away."

Sam looked at him and then jumped up and ran to the door, throwing it open "Gibby I might love you...watch Ayden for me!"

Freddie's room in the rehab center

Freddie laid sprawled out on his bed reading a book someone had lent him when there was a knock on his door, causing him to jump at the noise "Who is it?"

"It's Sam...I really need to talk to you Freddie." The voice was slightly muffled and he knew it meant she was holding back her emotions in the Sam way.

Freddie got up and opened the door for her and she walked in and sat on his bed just staring at him.

After a few minutes Freddie looked around and then turned to Sam "You said you needed to talk to me, what's going on?"

Sam looked at him "I was at Carly's..."

"Ok, I knew you would be, you're there all the time."

"And Gibby said something...that made sense. And I realized something now...well I think I always knew it..."

Freddie looked confused "What?"

"I love you."

Woo! That was bouncing around in my head all day, try doing schoolwork when part of you is writing this chapter in your head. It's not easy I tell you. Let me know what you think, I love you all for reading.
