A/N Thanks for the reviews, people! I'm sorry I've been so slow at updating, I had my prom the other night and I've still not caught up on sleep! Here's a new one for you, hope you like it:)
Daisy:D
Sam and Cat were walking to Sledgelor pre-school. Sam was walking ahead, excited to see Benji, whereas Cat was bouncing along behind. Robbie had asked her out on a date! It was her first date with Robbie, and she was even more excited than when she saw Bibble. "It's just so exciting!" Cat gushed. "I can be like them girls on films!" She smiled a she bounced along. "I can fall in love and get married and have children and-"
"Woah, calm down, little red head." Sam said. "Relationships don't always work out the way you plan."
"But Robbie and I are meant for each other!" Cat giggled. "Like two peas in a pod!"
"That's what everybody thinks. But then, something tiny happens and you're back to enemies, sworn to hate each other!"
"Are you talking about one of your relationships?" Cat asked, catching on.
"No." Sam denied. "I was just saying to be careful."
"I will be." Cat smiled. "Look, we're here!"
Sam and Cat picked up Benji, as they were about to leave, the teacher stopped them. "The boy's father had a note for you two." She said.
Sam took the note and read it as they walked home.
Dear Sam and Cat,
Benji's uncle told me how concerned you were about the state Benji came home in. Trust me; it's not the first time it happened. I'm sorry that Benji scared you by getting messy, but whenever he does, just send him home like that. It's fine! Sam: thanks for saving him. He told me the whole story – I hope you're not hurt!
Thanks for looking after him, he seems to love you!
Freddie (Benji's dad)

"What does it say?" Cat asked. Sam didn't answer. She knew that writing from somewhere, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Memories of school flooded back. Her, Carly and Freddie sat at the back of each class, an inseparable trio. "Sam?"
"Huh?"
"What does it say?"
"Oh, just that we didn't need to worry about Benji's t-shirt."
"Ah, right." Cat giggled. "I'm so excited for my date!"
"What's a 'date'?" Benji asked.
"It's where two people go to a place together alone when they like each other, kind of."
"Ah." Benji said. "Are you and Cat going on one?" He asked Sam.
"Oh, no." Sam giggled. "Cat is going with her friend Robbie."
"Is Cat married to Robbie?"
"No." Sam said. "Not yet."
"Hey!" Cat blushed.
"I can't believe you're making us go shopping!" Sam groaned. She had Benji in her arms, placed on her hip. He was eating a bag of chocolates, and now and again fed one to Sam.
"I need an outfit for my date! Robbie is picking me up in an hour and I need to look perfect!"
"You ready?" Sam asked. Cat had just exited her room in her new outfit. It was a white dress with pink and red flowers on. She had her hair like usual, and little pink slip-on shoes. "You look nice, Cat."
"Thanks!" The doorbell rang. Cat ran to the door. "Be cool!" She warned Sam. "Hi Robbie. How are you? I'm so happy. Thank you for taking me out on this date. Are you excited? I sure am!"
"Hi, Cat." Robbie laughed. Sam inspected him from the table. He seemed nerdy. "You look beautiful."
"Thanks." Cat blushed. "This is Sam, my roommate."
"Hey, aren't you from iCarly?"
"Yep." Sam said.
"Cool." Robbie smiled. "Shall we get going, we have reservations."
"Yes, let's go."
Sam had taken Benji back home and was now just browsing on her files on her computer. She was looking at photos of school, her childhood, and iCarly. Sam came across one of her and Freddie. She held her breath. It was one that Carly had taken when they were dating. Freddie was sat on the Shay's couch with her at his side. She had been lying next to him. Freddie had his arm around her shoulder, and they were staring into each other's eyes. The next picture was of them standing next to each other, eyes on the camera. Sam looked carefully at Freddie.
Then a thought came to her.
Benji looked like Freddie!
"No." Sam said to herself. "There's no way." She thought that it must just be her mind playing tricks. Though wasn't it a coincidence that Benji's dad was named Freddie too?
No.
As Sam waited for Cat to get home, she could not get the image out of her head. She flicked through a few more photos, and as time went on she realised the baby looked like Carly, too.
It couldn't be their child, could it?
