Sam's POV

I was going to The Bensons for dinner tonight…only Freddie was going to be there, but I was ready…Alyssa was going to watch the girls. Alyssa was my assistant manager at my restaurant. Yes, I did own a restaurant, it was a quick thing the owner was going to shut it down and I swooped in and bought it.

The doorbell rang and I heard my daughters run to answer. I closely followed and saw them open the door to Alyssa. Alyssa walked in and gave me a hug and told me not to worry and just relax the girls would be fine. I kissed my daughters and walked to the car waving goodbye as I climbed in.

I drove in silence to Bushwell plaza, I followed the same elevator up to floor 8, just like I used to…I knocked on the door and waited. Marisa opened the door and invited me inside. I tensed up when I heard Freddie coming. "Hey." He said

"Hi…" I muttered

"You look nice tonight." He told me after the door shut, with his mother gone.

"Um…thank you." I told him looking down at my ripped jeans and tank top

"Shall we?" he asked directing me to the kitchen

"Sure…" I sighed

"We have a lot to talk about." He said

"Yeah." I commented

We ate salad for dinner and once cleaned up sat opposite in the living room staring at each other. I waited for him to go off on me, but it never came. He calmly looked at me and finally spoke. "I know everything I've done has been wrong…I am so very sorry…I've made the love of my life, be afraid of me, and my own daughters fear me so much they cry at the sight of me."

"I…I want to give you a chance, but Beth doesn't understand, anything except you hurt her…" I told him

"I want you to know…I never meant to hurt her…Carly started the abuse…I tried to stop it…at first, but with all the kids and Carly it drove me to drink. Once I started drinking I changed…I was not the same person at all." He told me

"I want to believe you…I do…It's just hard without knowing what Carly has to say about all of this…I miss her…I miss our friendship…I miss you…" I whispered

"I miss you too…I love you Sam, I still do even if you can never forgive me I will always love you. I really will, you are the love of my life. I hope you'll give me a second chance…" just then the doorbell rang.

Freddie went to open it, I heard the voice behind the door and my heart stopped… "Hey baby."

Alyssa's POV

Bethany and Maddie were coloring when I got a text from Sam.

Carly somehow got out of jail. At Freddie's apartment… TRAPPED. I don't know what to do,.. Help me.

I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm on my way.

"Hey girls?" I peeked my head into their room

"Yeah?" they said and looked up at me

"Let's go. We are running a quick little errand and then I'll take you to get ice cream." I told them

"Yay!" They jumped up and put on shoes and jackets and were in the car in 5 minutes

I hurry drove to the apartment and picked the girls up and carried them past the nasty doorman, and up to the apartment where I saw Carly and Freddie outside. "Girls, listen to me. I need you to sit right here and DO NOT move until me or your mommy come back okay?"

"Why?" Beth asked

"Do you understand? Do not move." I warned them

"Yes ma'am." They nodded looking scared

I walked over to Carly and Freddie and spoke up. "Hi, is Sam Puckett here? She said she'd be in this building if there was an emergency and there is." I lied (Thank you Sam for teaching me so well)

"Ummm…inside." Freddie hesitantly said

"SHES HERE!" Carly screamed about to storm in, but Freddie held her back while Sam rushed out and looked at me.

"Where are they?" She asked panicked

"Come on." I pulled her away from the scene. We turned the corner to see the girls sitting there with scared looks on their faces. "Come here babies." Sam said

They came into her arms and she hugged them tight. "You're okay girls…mommas here, momma wants ice cream. How about you?"

"YEAH!" they smiled

Once the girls were buckled in the car I turned to Sam. "You're such a good mother…" I told her

"Thank you. You'll be one when that time comes."

"Sam…I'm pregnant…" I told her

"I thought you weren't dating…" she looked at me skeptically

"I had a few drinks the other night, and my friend's boyfriend decided to take a turn with me…" she sighed "His names Kyle…he's a doctor, he doesn't know."

"Kyle? Kyle Adams?" I asked her

"How did you know?"

"He's my ex-husband…"
