A/N – Season 2 of Sam and Cat starts filming today, yay!

"What you doing, Buddy?" Sam asked Benji as she sat next to him at the table.
"Making a bye-bye card for Carly and Gibby." Benji smiled.
"Awww, that's sweet." Sam cooed.
"Are you sad?"
"I am. But I know they'll be happy."
"Are you happy, mummy?"
"I am, sweetie."
"Good. Because I'm really excited for the baby!"
"I am too, Benji."
"Does it mean that you and daddy will get married? I want you to."
"I'm sure we will someday, Benji."
"Yay!"

The next day was Carly and Gibby's leaving date. It was emotional, but everyone knew it was a new start for them. Carly and Gibby were moving away together, Cat and Robbie were moving in together, and Sam and Freddie were starting a real family. "Good luck." Was the first thing Carly said when she was leaving. "Good luck to both of you."
"I think I'll need it." Freddie smirked.
Sam punched him in the stomach.
"Sam, you need to tell me everything, okay. The progress, the gender… just keep me updated, okay?"
"I will, Shay." Sam smiled. "And you keep us updated, too."
"I promise. I'll never fall out of touch with you again."
"You'd better not, Carls." Sam frowned, but then laughed.
"I still can't believe you're pregnant." Carly smiled.
"I have been for nearly four months, cupcake, you'd better start believing it."
"And she hit me this morning because her back hurt." Freddie grimaced. "I defiantly believe it."
"I'll come visit, okay?" Carly sighed. "I love you guys."
"We love you too." Sam hugged Carly, and then Freddie joined in too.

After two weeks of getting used to the new changes, Halloween rolled around. It was the school holidays and Benji and Cat were super excited – they were out costume buying! Robbie had gone with them, leaving time for Sam and Freddie to visit the doctor's and clean the apartment before Marissa, Melanie and Pam arrived the next day.
They walked into the doctor's and were immediately called through. "Sam, Freddie, how are you?" The doctor greeted.
"We're good thanks." Freddie replied.
"Sam, how have the side effects been going?"
"Okay, I think. I've been sick a lot and had a lot of cramps. I'm also needing the toiled like 24/7 but that's normal, right? My stomachs getting really big, too." Sam smiled.
"It all seems to be going well then. You have all the correct symptoms. I'll just do a few tests and then give you a list of foods you should avoid from now on… do you want another scan to see how the baby's doing?"
"We'd love one." Sam commented. "When can we find out the gender?"
"In one months' time. Do you want to know the gender?"
"Yeah, I think we do."
"That's fine. We'll do that during your next monthly check-up."

"Do you think the apartment is tidy enough now?" Sam groaned as she flopped down on the couch.
"I think it'll have to do." Freddie flopped down next to her.
"I am so tired."
"You didn't do any of the work!"
"That's because you wouldn't let me!"
"You need to rest, princess."
"Fine." Sam groaned again, but a small smile creeped on her face. "What time are they here?"
"Well, Melanie is coming first. I did try and invite them all together but there wasn't a time they could all do."
"What time is Mel here?"
"In about-" Freddie was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. "Now!"
Freddie walked to the door and let her in, whilst Sam got up and tried to cover her stomach as much as possible.
"Freddie!" Melanie squealed. "You're here! Sam didn't say you were invited too! I didn't know you'd met back up! This is so exciting! You're still cute, you know. Maybe we could-"
"Melanie!" Sam shouted, stopping her before she went any further.
"Sam!" Melanie squealed again. Sam groaned. Melanie ran to hug her, but Sam crossed her arms.
"Na-a. No hugging."
"But Sam, I haven't seen you in years!"
"And? A hug isn't going to change that. We can talk, yes. But no physical contact."
"So, is Freddie here for the party too?"
"What party?"
"I just assumed there was a party."
"Why?"
"You never invite me round unless there's a special occasion."
"I guess. There's no party though. We just have something to tell you." Sam pulled her loose blouse further down.
"OMIGOSH SAM! YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED, AREN'T YOU?"
"No, Melanie."
"What is it then?"
"Well, the first thing is that Freddie lives here with me now."
"You're marrying Freddie?"
"No!"
"Aw. That's still sweet though. Why?"
"Well, we were both in financial trouble so we decided to help each other out. Carly was here as well, but she's gone back to Seattle now."
"Oh."
"And, we have an adopted son, Benji." Sam smiled. She showed Melanie a picture of the three of them. "He was left on Freddie's doorstep. He took him in and now he's our kid."
Melanie cooed at the picture. "So are you two like going out?"
"No." Freddie denied.
"But you have a son."
"Just because we have a son does not mean we like each other in that way, Melanie."
"You always have been strange, you two." Melanie laughed. "I don't really understand, but I'll accept it."
"Thank you."
"And we have one more thing to tell you." Freddie grinned. "We're hoping you'll take it well. Though, after the reaction to out adopted son, I doubt it'll go down too well."
"You have an adopted daughter as well?"
"Nope." Sam smiled. "Melanie, I'm pregnant."
Melanie's eyes flashed down to Sam's stomach, then up to the smile on her face. "No way."
"Yeah way!" Sam laughed.
"With Freddie?"
"Yep."
"Oh my God." Melanie smiled widely. "You two have had-"
"We know what we did, Mel."
"Was it like planned?"
"No, but we're glad it happened." Sam grinned. "We're four months on."
"This is so exciting!"
Sam and Freddie just smiled.
"How did mum take it?"
"She doesn't know yet." Sam replied. "We're telling her when she comes."
"She's coming here?"
"Yeah."
"When?"
"Tomorrow." Freddie answered.
"Do you mind if I stay over? I want to see her. And her reaction. I haven't seen mum is seven years."
"Sure." Sam agreed. "As long as you're not annoying."
"I'm not annoying, Sam."
"You are. Prissy-pants." Sam laughed and stuck her tongue out at her twin sister.
"You haven't changed much, have you Sam?"
"She has not." Freddie confirmed. "I still receive physical and emotional pain from her."
