Chapter 21: Scratching the Surface

"Pregnant?" I was in a state of shock. She pulled away from and looked at my face. I willed myself to say something comforting but all I could do was repeat the word. "Pregnant." She straightened up and wiped her tears away. She got off of me and went back to her seat.

"Don't worry Benson, I'm not asking you to be a father or anything. I was just doing the right thing and letting you know. I can handle it on my own." She was trying to be cold but she was failing horribly. I think it was because she was scared poopless.

"Sam, you're crazy if you think that you will be doing this alone. I'm just trying to figure everything out. I'm shocked and I imagine you were too when you first found out." I got up and began to rub her shoulders. I needed for her to relax and I need to be able to think without her blue eyes interrogating me.

"Yeah, I mean who would have thought the first time I let go and give myself to someone I'd end up knocked up." She closed her eyes and leaned her head back on my stomach. "The one thing I knew was that I would be carrying the babies to term … I couldn't do anything to harm them or give them away." My hands still and I looked down at her.

"Babies?" I asked; I knew my eyes were budging out of my head. She peeked at me with one eye open.

"Yeah … twins. I just found out today, a couple of hours ago actually. "You still here?"

"Sam, I'm not going anywhere. I just wish that we'd actually officially been back together before you got pregnant. We haven't even figured out how all of this is going to work."

"So you still wanna be with me, even with all this drama?" I frowned at her.

"You are being a little repetitive Sammy. I'm not going to abandon you; I don't see how a man could leave the woman that's carrying his child. Besides, you're the only woman that I've ever loved, a difficult situation isn't going to change that," I explained.

A few moments later Camden came out with our appetizers, they were her twist on pigs in a blanket. Sam's eyes lit up like she hadn't eaten all day. She immediately filled her plate and I chuckled.

"Don't judge! I haven't eaten all day," she explained as she filled her plate. After enjoying a couple bites she spoke again. "My dad did by the way."

"Your dad did what Sammy?"

"He left while my mother was pregnant. He didn't care that she was carrying twins she had to fend for herself. I mean I know my mom is horrible but he didn't even want to get to know us." She shook her head as she picked at her last pig in a blanket. "I don't want you to feel trapped. Even if we don't get together if you want to see the babies I will let you see them, they deserve to have a relationship with you."

"So do you … I want you to believe that. Samantha you deserve to be happy and so do I. You make me happy. We do need to discuss geography though." She frowned.

"I don't want to move Benson; I've done so much to get my own firm."

"No I wasn't going to ask you to. I just signed on to this movie and I not going to be filming close to you. I want to be around to help you during the pregnancy. I also need to know when the doctor predicts you'll be giving birth. I will need to have all the shooting done by then. I'm going to have to get an apartment in this area too, unless you're ready for me to move in." I took a deep stressed breath. "This is not what I thought we'd be talking about over dinner."

"I thought we'd be going out to dinner, but Freddie like is not always predictable … and the food is amazing by the way." She said loud enough for Camden to hear.

"Thanks honey," she yelled back from the kitchen.

"The doctor said I was ten weeks I'm just starting my second trimester. I don't know if you're going to have time to do all the things that you're trying to do. The next appointment she wants to try and pinpoint a delivery date, but it will just be an estimation, there's no way of really know when I will deliver Freddie." Camden approached us with more food; she prepared a honey glazed ham with macaroni and cheese. She also prepared a salad which I was now thankful for, Sam needed to take in all of her vitamins. "I want you to be there Freddie."

"I will have a meeting with Maddie and prepare her to take on more responsibility. We've been working together for a while now and I have been debating giving her a raise." I shrugged; Sam just helped me make the decision.

"Okay," Sam said as she stuffed her face. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head. "Food tastes so much better now."

"That's saying something for you," I teased and she rolled her eyes at me.

"So when are you going back?" She asked without looking at me.

"I bought a plane ticket for tomorrow afternoon, but if you want me to stay longer I will."

"I-I want you to stay but you should go now handle business and then hurry back." She smirked, it was good to here she wanted me close.

"Okay, and as soon as Maddie and I come up with a plan I will call you and let you know when I plan to be coming your way." She nodded but seemed a little sad.

"I'll miss you." She looked up at me and chuckled.

"You're not gone yet … I could give you something to remember me by." Sammy was blushing now that was a really hot sight. Camden then placed two pieces of chocolate cake in front of us and Sam seemed to fall in love. "After dessert."

"So I got downgraded for chocolate cake." Sam glared at me with chocolate on her cheek.

"Babe, you'll always be replaced by chocolate that will never change." She giggled and I smiled even though inside I was still wondering how this was all going to work. There were a lot of things that had to be considered and we'd barely scratched the surface.
