It's A Challenge Chapter 46: I Hear Wedding Bells!, an icarly fanfic

Chapter 45.

I Hear Wedding Bells!

(Carly's POV)

"You ready, Sam?" I asked her as I put her veil in her extremely curly hair. Okay, I went a little overboard on the curling-iron.

"Ready as I'll ever be." She said as she stared at herself in the mirror. "How do I look?"

"Sam, you look so gorgeous." I said.

She turned and smiled at me and I pulled her into a tight hug. I couldn't help myself but to start crying.

"No, don't you do this to me." Sam said as she pulled away. "Don't you cry, Carls."

"I'm sorry." I said, rubbing my nose. "It's just... you're my best friend in the entire world and I just can't believe you're getting married."

"I know, it's all so crazy but it's happening."

"I'm so proud of you and Freddie." I said. Mrs. Benson and Melanie walked into the room.

"Are you ready, Sam?" Melanie asked.

"Yeah, I'm ready." Sam said.

"Okay, I'll take Morgan and go check with Gibby and see how many of the guests are here. Mrs. Benson, you take Sam and get ready to walk down the aisle soon." I said. I picked up Morgan from her playpen.

"Will do." Mrs. Benson said.

"Melanie, go see if the guys are ready and get them down to the alter." I said.

"Sure thing." Melanie said.

"Oh and Carly, Morgan's dress is in her diaper bag." Sam said. "Dress her and change her diaper before the wedding starts."

"'Kay."

"How many guests are here?" I asked Gibby. He was outside of the church, checking people in who were coming for the wedding. He looked through his list on his clipboard.

"Most of the guests checked in." Gibby said. "Even Freddie's nerdy Model Train Club buddies came."

"How about Sam's mom?" I asked.

"She hasn't checked in, yet."

"Oh, man! Sam's going to be so chizzed off if she doesn't show up."

"Don't worry. It's still pretty early." Gibby said.

"Okay, just let me know if she shows up. I'm going to get Morgan ready for the wedding." I said. "Oh, and if Mrs. Puckett looks like a bucket of chiz, tell her I have back-up clothes for her."

"Will do, Carly."

"And as soon as all the guests check in, you need to get by the alter and get ready for the wedding. You have to walk Melanie down the aisle."

"'Kay."

After I got Morgan dressed into her little dress, which I must say was incredibly adorable, I headed down to the hallway by the door that leads into the alter, where the wedding was getting ready to begin.

"Here's the baby." I said, handing Morgan over to Mrs. Benson.

"Oh, this dress is so cute. Where'd you get it?" Mrs. Benson asked Sam.

"At a store. Now go in there so we can start this wedding!" Sam ordered.

"Okay!" Mrs. Benson said, rushing into the alter, closing the giant door behind her.

"Ready, Sam Puckett?" I teased.

"Watch it, Shay. It's soon going to be Sam Benson." I laughed at her.

"Okay, let's start this wedding." Just as I said that, the normal wedding music started to play.

"Okay, Melanie and Gibby go first, then Spencer and I, and then you. Are you sure you don't want Spencer to give you away?" I asked Sam.

"Now, it's totally cool. I want to walk down the aisle by myself." Sam said.

"That's sounds like a normal Puckett." I joked.

Just then, Spencer and Gibby ran over to us.

"Sorry, we're late." Spencer said, running out of breath. "We had to-"

"Don't care!" I said hastily. "Gibby, you and Melanie go down the aisle, now!"

I swung open the two large doors and Gibby and Melanie walked slowly down the aisle.

"They make a cute couple." Sam said.

"She's your twin sister." I said. "She looks just like you."

"Oh, yeah. Nevermind." Sam said, her face turning pale. I chuckled.

"Okay, now once Spencer and I go down the aisle, they're going to play that special music just for the brides. That's when you go-"

"I know what to do, Carls. We've all been to the wedding rehearsal. Now, go." Sam ordered.

I wrapped my arm around Spencer's arm and started walking down the aisle. Now I see why Sam was so nervous. All of your closest friends and relatives watching you as you walk down the aisle. Luckily, it's not me who was getting married. Maybe I'll get married in Vegas, instead.

(Sam's POV)

Carly and Spencer finally made it to the front of the alter and that music that goes 'Here Comes the Bride', or whatever, started to play.

I made my first step down the aisle as everyone rose from their seats. Wow, this is a weird feeling.

My family on the left, Freddie's family on the right. It was probably best to keep them apart. Halfway down the aisle, I realized my mom was in the front of the left side. And she actually looked half-way decent. What might shock you even more was that she was actually holding Morgan. That made me feel a little better. A little.

I looked to my right as I was walking down the aisle and saw some of the old skunkbags from Freddie's family reunion. But the only difference from when I first met them is that they are actually smiling and look somewhat nice.

I looked to the front and saw Carly and Melanie with the flowergirl, Freddie's little cousin Angie, on the step below theirs. She looked so sweet and innocent. Poor kid was a Benson. Then again, so is Morgan. I wonder if she'll turn out anything like them. Wait, I'm getting off topic!

I finally made it to the front and faced Freddie. He grabbed my hands and stared into my eyes.

'You look so beautiful.' Freddie mouthed. I smiled at him and the minister began to speak. Everyone in the room, except for us up front, sat down.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of God, and in the face of family and friends, to join together Fredward Benson and Samantha Pucket, in holy matrimony; which is an honorable estate, instituted of God, since the first man and first woman walked on the Earth."

I'm not gonna lie, I felt like I was going to fall asleep. There's something about formal gatherings that make we want to sleep. Especially long speeches during these formal gatherings. Oh wait, I think I missed something that he said.

"...But reverently and soberly. Into this estate, these two persons present will become joined as one. If any of you can show just cause as to why these two should not be wed, speak now, or forever hold their peace."

I gave everyone that scowling look that read 'If you speak now, I'll kill you.' The crowd stayed silent and the wedding went on.

"This is where Fredward and Samantha will give their own vows. Fredward, you may begin."

Freddie smiled at me and I could tell by his eyes that he was completely nervous.

"I honestly don't know how we got here today. I mean, when we first met, you constantly tormented me. You had a hidden goal to make my life miserable. But now, I love you with all of my heart and being. And even though you still bug me sometimes, I'm glad it's you who is bugging me because I wouldn't want it any other way.

"It's so weird; we always bickered and called each other names but somewhere along the line, it grew into true love. Is that normal? I don't think it is, but then again, we're not normal. You have to ability to drive me completely insane, whether you're offending me or kissing me. You just do it.

"And we've been through so much together in the past few years. You were my first enemy, my first hate, my first kiss, and my first true love. Only us two could make a complete one-eighty like that and it would actually make sense.

"Sam, there's no substitute that will ever be more compatible for me than you. We have our differences, but that's okay. I love our differences because that's us. That's what makes us stronger as a couple. It even makes us stronger as parents.

"You're so beautiful and every morning I wake up, I wonder to myself 'How on Earth did I get such a beautiful, sexy, out-of-control woman like you?'. Your eyes are the first eyes I see every morning and they're the last eyes I want to see before I leave this Earth. Oh, and I must add, your boobs look great in that dress; just saying."

I felt a blush creep up on my checks. I heard a few people chuckle.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm always going to be here for you and I'm always going to take care of you. You're the one for me, Sam. Even if you are a blonde-headed demon, sometimes. I would promise you forever, but there's no need to promise something you already know. So, ending these vows, I must add one more thing. It consists of three words and has eight letters; I love you."

"Okay, Samantha. You may now give your vows." The minister said.

I took a deep breath and hid all of my nervous feelings behind a big, cheesy smile. This wasn't like me to act like this, but I guess this is what getting married does to you. Right?

"Freddie, I'm not going to get too nubby with you, even on our wedding day. That's your department. But you know I love you. I'm here, right?"

Freddie rolled his eyes and smirked at me. I knew he wanted to say something but he just let me continue.

"I remember when we first got stuck together by Carly because of the webshow. You were such a nub. And now that you've grown up, I can see that you'll forever be a nub. But I guess that's okay because I'm glad that I'm going to be your wife.

"You were my first kiss, my first time having sex, and I had my first child with you. So it only makes sense for you to be my first husband, right? I mean, even though you were such a dork, and still are, you own my heart now and forever. But let's face it, you're freakin' sexy. Oh, and I'm always right and Freddie is always wrong, just thought I'd point that out.

"Okay, so here comes the sappy stuff. You're one of the only three people who see past all my antics and the way I act, and can see a better person inside me. You think I'm beautiful on the inside and out, and not many people can see it like your eyes can. When I'm with you, everything makes sense in my life.

"Having a baby at the age of seventeen was definitely not on my to-do list, I must say. And getting married before high school even ended sounds even crazier than it actually is. You and Morgan helped me grow up, a lot. And you two made me into the person that I want be, instead of being the person that I was. I love you two so much.

"If there were one thing in this world that I never knew I needed, it was you. So, to end this on a normal note; Love, honor, and obey mama."

"Now Fredward, grab Samantha's hands and repeat after me." The minister said.

Freddie smiled at me and lightly grabbed my hands. His eyes never left mine.

"I, Fredward Benson,"

"I, Fredward Benson," Freddie repeated.

"Take you, Samantha Puckett,"

"To be my lawfully wedded wife."

"To be my lawfully wedded wife." Freddie squeezed my hands a little as he said this, and smiled at me. I smiled back.

"To have and to hold,"

"For better or for worse,"

"For richer or for poorer,"

"In sickness and in health,"

It's sad that I'm becoming one of those saps who want to cry at these kind of ceremonies. Like Freddie's mom, who's making a bigger scene than I thought she would.

"To love and to cherish,"

"From this day forward,"

"Until death do us part."

"Now Samantha-" The minister started.

"Yeah, yeah. Everything he said to me but back to him. Just get on to the kiss." I ordered. I heard Carly chuckle a little.

"Alright, then. I now announce you both husband and wife-"

"No!" Carly shouted. Freddie and I turned to her with questioning looks. "Use the line I told you to use."

The minister sighed. "I now announce you both nerd and demon. Fredward, you may kiss your bride."

Before I lean into the kiss, Freddie grabbed me by the waist and pulled me into the most passionate and loving kiss we have ever shared. And to think, a year ago from this day, I found out that I was pregnant. And now, a year later, we're officially married.

Yeah, it's more crazier than you think.

"The wedding was beautiful." Carly said, pulling me into a hug. "I can't believe you two are married now."

"Yeah, me neither." I said.

"I'm so happy for you two. Really, I am." Melanie said. "And mom came, too."

"Yeah, I know." I said. "I saw her in the audience. Is she sober, at least?"

"Well... she was when she got here." Melanie said with a chuckle. "But then the reception started, and I doubt she hasn't had a drink yet."

I rolled my eyes. "Of course. But at least she had the decency to show up. And in a dress, too."

"You have to give her snaps for at least trying." Carly said.

"I know."

"Hey, there's my new daughter!" I heard Marissa yell from behind me. I turned around and before I could comprehend anything, she pulled me into an extremely tight hug. Tighter than Carly's hug, which I'm pretty shocked.

"Hey, Marissa." I mumbled. Marissa let go and smiled at me.

"I'm so happy for you and my little Fredward." Marissa said. "You two make such a lovely family with Morgan."

"Yeah, where's Morgan?" I asked.

"Oh, Freddie has her." Carly said.

"I thought my mom had her at the wedding." I said. "I saw her holding her."

"She probably handed her off to Freddie so she could get her drink on." Carly said. "Let's go find Freddie."

"I saw him standing over by the cake with Spencer and Gibby." Melanie said. We all walked over to the cake, where Spencer, Gibby, and Freddie holding Morgan, were at. Freddie saw me and smiled instantly.

"Hello, my gorgeous wife." Freddie said. I leaned over and gave him a big kiss. I took Morgan from his arms. She seemed very happy. "Let's go make our reception speech."

"Okay." I said. We walked over to the microphone, where one of Freddie's little nerd friend from the A/V club was standing. He was the one who had the camara and recorded the whole wedding for iCarly.

"Ladies and gentlemen... listen up!" Freddie said into the microphone. The room got quiet almost instantly and everyone was staring at us.

"Hey, everyone. I just want to thank each and every one of you for showing up to our wedding. It really means a lot." Freddie said. "And thank you to those who have been really supportive for Sam and I during our rough times. We wouldn't be where we're at today if it wasn't for our closest friends and family, so thank you."

Everyone in the room cheered and applaud.

"Hey, let's see if Morgan has anything to say for the crowd." I said. I put Morgan close to the microphone.

"Sam, you're insane. She isn't going to say anything, yet." Freddie said.

"Come on, Freddie. Let's just see if she'll say mama or something." I said. "Say mama, Morgan."

"Sam, come on. Hand her over to me." Freddie said. "I think you had a little to much to drink."

"I didn't drink anything, and I just want to see if she'll-"

"Sed-die."

The entire room grew quiet again. We all stared at Morgan.

"Did she just say what I think she just said?" Freddie asked.

"Sweetie, say that again." I said to Morgan.

"Sed-die." Morgan had a big smile on her face and started giggling.

"She's been reading too much stuff on the internet." Freddie said.

"Horrible joke, sweetheart." I said.

"I love you..." Freddie whispered into my ear. I cuddled close to his bare skin and held onto the blanket a little tighter to cover my chest.

"I love you, too." I said. "If I didn't, I wouldn't marry you, nub."

"You almost didn't."

"I had cold feet, okay? I was just nervous."

"Sam Puckett was nervous? That's a first." Freddie teased. I was too tired to smack him for his remark.

"It's Benson." I corrected. "And as I recall, you had cold feet, too."

"Yeah, but I just wanted to make sure that we were doing the right thing. And I believe we did. I'm sure that's what your anxiety over the wedding was about, too. Right?"

"Actually, no. I had other reasons why I had cold feet."

"Well, what were they?"

"I didn't want to trap you into this marriage." I said.

"How would you ever trap me into this marriage when I'm the one who proposed to you?" Freddie chuckled.

"Well, there's something I didn't get to tell you yet. I just found out this morning."

"Well, I'm sure whatever the problem is, we can fix it together. That's what married couples do, right?"

"I guess..."

"Well, what's the issue, Sam? Did you get fired from your job? Kicked out of school?"

"No..."

"Then what is it? I can't help you if you don't tell me."

"I'm pregnant." Freddie's head shot up quickly and his eyes widened.

"Okay, that I wasn't prepared for."

A/N: Hey, guys! I'm so sorry about the long "intermission" inbetween the last two chapters. I feel so bad for not updating any sooner D: I was completely stuck with this chapter. It seemed like no matter what I put in here, I wasn't good enough. I didn't want to give up.

Plus, for over a month, I've been so busy with school and one of my friends comes over like every weekend, so I haven't had the time to perfect anything with this chapter.

I do hope you guys enjoyed it. If it disappointed anyone, I'm sorry and I understand. Hopefully the next chapter will be done WAY sooner than this one. (:
