A/N – Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter! I'm really sorry about how I slacked off for a few chapters, but I have some inspiration now and I hope my writing will improve! Thanks for staying with me!
Lots of love,

After two hours of convincing Cat that Sam really was pregnant, they were all fighting to keep their eyes open. Just as Sam and Freddie were about to head to bed, Carly stopped them. "Oh no, no, no." Carly dragged her away. "We are having a sleepover tonight."
"But I'm pregnant!" Sam whined.
"Don't you dare start using that as an excuse. Look, you, Cat and I need to talk about this. It's exciting!"
"Urg."
"I need info: How does it feel to be pregnant? Are you happy? Are you excited? Are you aware that you did it with Freddie freakin' Benson? Are you-"
"Fine. I'll sleep over."
"I guess I'll see you in morning then." Freddie hugged her. Sam could feel her cheeks heating up.
"If they ever let me leave." Sam rolled her eyes.
"I'm just so happy for you guys."
"Carly, you've already said that like one billion times."
"Well, are you happy?"
"I… I really am."
"Was it planned?"
"Well- No. But this baby will never be an accident."
"Awwww, Sam." Cat cooed.
"So, why did you do it?"
"Get pregnant?"
"Why did you have sex with Freddie?"
"Well we-"
"What's sex?" Cat asked.
"You really don't know?"
"Well." Carly started. "When a man and woman love each other very much-"
"I do not love Freddie!" Sam interrupted.
"Stop being in the Mississippi!" Cat giggled.
Sam sighed. "Why don't you go ask Robbie how babies are made?"
"Okay!" Cat left the room.
"Right… anyway, so why did you and Freddie have-"
"I know what we did!" Sam interrupted, feeling slightly awkward.
"Tell me then!"
"It was kind of like our first kiss. We did it to get it over with. We used protection but it wasn't 100% certain and yeah… I'm pregnant."
"So, did you, you know, like it?"
"Are you seriously asking me that question?"
"Yes."
"I'd rather not answer."
"Fine. I just have one last question."
"Shoot."
"Do you have any feelings for Freddie?"
Sam was silent for a moment. "How couldn't I?" She sighed. "I mean, I think- I think I still loved him after we'd broken up. It hurt. I moved here because I couldn't stand the thought of being near him when he hated me. Even Cat could tell I was missing him five years on, and then when we saw each other again I was so happy. I guess the feelings had never left, but they were even stronger suddenly. When we agreed to have sex, Carly, I was terrified. I knew it would make me feel even more for him. It's an act of love, right? Anyway, so when we fake dated, I loved it. I got to kiss him and hug him and I was perfectly happy sharing a bed. The thing is Carls, even though we've been through all this, and we have a child on the way, I still don't think Freddie likes me in that way. I'm fine with that, you know? I just want him to be happy. I love him, Carly." The two of them didn't speak for a minute, taking it in. "God, I'm so stupid. This is so out of character for me." She started to cry.
"What is it with us and confessing things today?" Carly joked. Sam laughed and Carly hugged her.
"You don't think it's weird, do you?"
"Not at all." Carly confirmed. "You and Freddie… you're made for each other, Sam. You're perfect together."
"You really think so?"
"I've never been so sure of anything in my life, Sam."
"Thanks." Sam smiled.
"Look, why don't you just tell him?"
"No way. He's got to make the move."
"Why him?"
"I did it last time, Carls. He needs some time to sort out whatever we have, and so do I."
"But Sam…"
"Look, I'll give him until the baby is born. If he's not confessed by then, I'll do it myself, okay?"
"Fine. You've got yourself a deal, Puckett."
"Good." Sam yawned. "Can we sleep now?"
"Sure. Will you go get Cat?"
"Why can't you do it?"
"I just thought you might want to go see Freddie while you're at it." Carly winked.
Sam groaned. "I'm not regretting opening up to you." Yet, she left anyway.
"How'd it go then?" Freddie smiled as Sam walked in.
"She just asked me one hundred and one questions."
"Awkward?""
"Yep. It's over now though, so I can be in peace."
"Are you sleeping here?"
"No. I just came to get Cat. We're sleeping over now."
"Ah." Just as Sam was about to get Cat, Benji walked in.
"Daddy, mummy, can you tuck me in?"
"Sure." Sam said. She picked him up.
"Am I going to have a brother or a sister?" Benji asked as he was tucked in.
"We don't know yet." Freddie replied.
"Aww."
"We'll tell you as soon as we know though." Sam promised.
"Yay!"
"Now go to sleep, baby Benji." Freddie kissed his son's head.
"I'm not a baby, daddy!"
