Another update guys! Yay! Hope you enjoy! Happy Reading!
Sam's POV
Okay, so we only have two days left in Hawaii. It was bittersweet. I was ready to go home to see my girls, but these weeks with Freddie have been…incredible. We are finally engaged and when we get home I can start planning! Did I really just get that excited about planning my wedding?
"Morning Puckett. Anything you want to do today?" he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Hmmm…maybe we could go on another boat ride?" I asked
"I'll call down to the desk and get a boat." He whispered in my ear
I heard Freddie on the phone with the desk and I heard my PearPhone ring. "Hello" I picked it up
"S—Sam?" she said
"Carly?" I asked
"Yeah…I…I need to talk to you." She sobbed
"What is it?" I asked
"There…there was a car accident…my kids…the twins, and…and Sarah…they're gone..." she cried
"Oh…Carly…I am so sorry…as soon as I get back in town we can talk more…okay?" I said to her, hearing Freddie wrapping up the call
"Okay, thanks Sam." She sighed hanging up
"Who was on the phone?" Freddie inquired as we headed out the door
"It was Carly…there was an accident, the twins and the little one…Sarah they were killed." I told him
"Oh my gosh…is she taking it hard?"
"She sounded like it. She was crying on the phone." I told him
"That's horrible…" He sighed
"Where are we going on the boat today?" I asked
"Anywhere you want." He smiled
…
I sat down on the seat of the boat and waited for Freddie to join me, we paid for someone to drive the boat so we would have more time together. Freddie came up to me and sat down wrapping his arm around me. We sat there just looking out at the water. "Oh my gosh! Freddie look!" I said jumping up
Just then a group of dolphins jumped out of the water. "They're amazing…" I whispered
"Just like you." He said
"Why are you such a sap?" I asked playfully pushing him
"Don't act like you don't like it. You know you do." He smirked
We sat back down and I laid my head on Freddie's shoulder. I felt myself began to drift into sleep…
Freddie's POV
Here she was…the love of my life, my best friend, my fiancé lying here on my shoulder fast asleep. She looked so peaceful…Our time on the boat would be up soon but I really didn't have the heart to wake her.
The boat came to the dock and I carefully picked her up bridal style trying not to wake her. She stirred, but luckily went back to sleeping peacefully curled in my arms. I made it up to our room and laid her on the bed, again careful not to wake her.
I crawled in next to her and she curled into me. I wrapped my arms around her. "I love you Freddie." She sleepily mumbled
"I love you too, Sam." I kissed her head
Melanie's POV
There was a nice dinner on the table, Bethany and Maddie insisted on making their parents dinner, since they would be here any minute. "We're home!" Sam called into the house
"MOMMY! DADDY!" the girls screamed rushing to greet their parents
"Oh, we missed you!" I heard Sam say
"We miss you too mommy!" Maddie said just as I walked in the room
"Hey Mel, thanks for watching the girls for us." Freddie said holding Maddie with one arm and Beth with the other while Sam moved the luggage inside
"It's no problem. We had a lot of fun." I told her smiling
She pushed me into the living room away from the girls "I know it was hard watching them, but it's been almost a year Mel…you need to start moving on. You and Jake weren't in love; you need to go out on a Friday night and have a little fun, not that much fun, but find a guy and get your flirt on." She encouraged me
"I know…it's just I lost my son too. How am I supposed to move on from that?" I asked her
"You are never going to…believe me. We both lost children; I lost my son when I was married to Kyle that hurt me a lot. But I couldn't let it stop me from going forward, and now I had to give up two of my children to stay healthy. But as much as I miss them, I'm not letting it stop me in continuing to live my life to the fullest, I miss them with every breath Mel…but I can't be miserable for the rest of my life." She stated
"Wow…Sam, I don't think I've ever heard you say something so…smart and truthful." I told her hugging her "I'm gonna go to the park, maybe find a single guy there." I winked at her and hurried out the door
Once I got to the park I sat on a bench by the pond. It was peaceful out here…just then I got hit with a beach ball…I little boy maybe 3 toddled over to get it. I handed it to him and saw a man about my age running over. "I'm so sorry." He said picking the boy up
"Oh, it's fine, I have two nieces who are a little crazy, and I got hit with everything you can think of in the last two weeks..." I said laughing
"Oh, do they live with you?" he asked setting his son down and sitting next to me being sure to keep an eye on him
"No, my sister and her…well I don't know what he is, the girls dad, went on a vacation and they needed me to watch them." I told him laughing a little
"Oh, do you have any children?" he asked pulling the boy back near him
"I did…My husband, son and I got into a car accident about a year ago…they didn't make it…My son was only 6 months old." I told him a single tear falling
"I'm so sorry…"he said "My wife…she lost control of her car a year ago and drove off the road…Brian here, was in the car, it's amazing he lived. Debbie…well she died on impact." He told me
"I'm so sorry…" I told him "He's adorable. How old is he?"
"He's two, he just turned two." He smiled at Brian "Would you like to join us? We have a picnic and our friends were supposed join us, but they couldn't."
"I'd be delighted." I smiled
We got up and walked over to where they had the picnic set up and Brian looked at me with wide eyes. "Name!" he said
"I'm Melanie." I said to Brian
"That's a beautiful name." his father said "I'm Ethan." He smiled
"It's nice to meet you Ethan and Brian." I smiled at them
"Like!" Brian said jumping into my lap
We laughed. "Looks like someone likes you." Ethan said "He's not the only one."
"Before we get far in this, I want you to know, if you ever see me with another man around town and I have curly hair it's my sister. We're twins." I told him
"Thanks for the warning." He laughed
Carly's POV
With Matt in one arm and a suitcase in the other I knocked on their door. I waited for Freddie or Sam to come to the door. "Hi Carly." Sam said opening the door
"H—hey Sam…" I sighed
"Mommy no cwy." Matt said noticing my tears
Sam led me into the house. "Thanks for letting us stay…I don't have the money to pay for an apartment with all the…the arrangements I had to make."
Just as I was setting my stuff down I heard a scream. "Mommy!" it was Elizabeth
"Beth, Bethany. Come here." Sam said
"No! I don't want her to take me away!" she sobbed
"Honey, she's not here to take you away. Bad things sometimes happen and Carly she's here because something really bad happened to her family and she has no place to go, but she wants to say she's very sorry for ever hurting you." Sam explained cradling Bethany close to her as she sobbed
"She's not going to hurt me…right?" Beth asked calming down
"No, Beth…I'm not here to hurt you…I just need help…" I told her setting Matt down.
"Lizzie?" He asked
"My name is Beth." She firmly stated
"Assertive just like her mom I see." I said looking at Sam
"And smart like her dad." Sam said as Freddie entered the room
"Mhmm. Thanks Hun." He kissed her and walked up the stairs
"So…what are you two now?" I asked letting Matt play with Beth and Maddie who had come into the room
"Ummm…well Freddie kinda proposed…it was so romantic…I cannot wait to start planning." Her smile was a mile wide
"That's fantastic Sam!" I told her "Can I see the ring?" she held her hand out
"I am in love with the ring." She said as Freddie entered once again "But more in love with you." She smiled
"You better be." He smirked kissing her and sitting next to her
He handed her a calendar. "What about September?" Sam asked
"That gives us 3 months to plan everything." He told her
"I can have Carly and Mel and you help me and the girls too, we can do it." She told him
"I'll call the church." He said dialing on his PearPhone. "They have the 15th or the 26th."
"26th good for you?" Sam asked
"We will take the 26th." He confirmed
"You want me to help plan?" I asked
"Carly, it would be great to build a friendship again…I need a best friend." Sam told me "Alyssa moved in with her new boyfriend who is helping take care of the boys, she never talks to me anymore."
"Okay." I smiled. Matthew had fallen asleep on the floor so I picked him up and headed upstairs looking for the room Freddie put my suitcase
…
Sam's POV
"Okay, so we need to start the guest list." I told the three seated at the table. Carly, Freddie, and Melanie. They started throwing out names.
Nevel and Abby Papperman (Zoe and Alex included)
Spencer and family
Marissa Benson
Pam Puckett
Alyssa
Gibby and Tasha
…
We finished with about 120 guests, next Freddie and the girls and I went to look at invitations. It only took us, 4 hours until we found the perfect one. We put the orders in and headed home.
"How was shopping?" Carly asked Freddie who plopped down on the couch
"You are going next." He sighed closing his eyes
"I take it he didn't enjoy it too much." Carly said
"He told me to just pick one and he'd be happy." I rolled my eyes "We agreed on one and ordered it. Guest list and invitations done!" I checked off my list "Dress shopping tomorrow?" I asked
"Sure!" Carly said "Is Melanie coming too?"
"Yep!" Sam squealed "We have to bring the girls, so they can help us look for their dresses. The color I'm looking for bridesmaid dresses is a deep red, same with the flower girls."
