Home: Michael Buble

It's been a month since then, I am exactly 3 months pregnant and me and Freddie are still unengaged.

It's the weekend of Brain and Mums wedding and we are preparing to travel down to New York, were I am originally from. I moved to Seattle when I turned 9. As I'm sure you have probably already guessed, my dad wasn't the most reliable father figure. Instead of going out and trying to find a proper job to help my mum raise; me, Melanie and our older brother tie, he got into illegal schemes, such as armed robbery, During which he was arrested.

After that me, Melanie and Tie did not want anything to do with him and my mum give up on him also. She then decided that it would be best to make a fresh start in a new town. Although I and Melanie were keen on moving, Tie didn't warm too well to the idea and ended up living with our grandmother in New York.

I really Missed home, my grandmother and Tie and I couldn't wait to get home, I just hoped that he would warm up to Freddie as well as the rest of the family had.

"Are you sure we're going to have time to attend Lamaze class in the morning before catching our flight to New York?" I asked before adding a little dance in excitement. Freddie laughed at me slightly before I cleared my throat, lifting up my first Maternity dress, which I would be wearing to the wedding, folding it up and setting it in the suitcase.

"Yes, I'm positive Sam, your not getting out of it, and is that your first maternity dress?" inquired Freddie.

"Crap" I mumbled in frustration at having no excuse out of attending Lamaze class. I mean really, why do we have to attend them stupid classes? It's just a bunch of hypocritical pregnant women, talking about the "joys" of pregnancy, last time I checked the only joy of pregnancy is when 12 o'clock rolls round and you don't have morning sickness any more; you officially have afternoon sickness! And, it's lead by a non pregnant woman, encouraging you to think of your Vagina as a beautiful flower, seriously, a beautiful flower?

"And yes this is my first maternity dress, I shall be wearing it to the wedding" I continued, before folding up with the rest of my clothing and setting it in my suitcase.

"And yes this is my first maternity dress, I shall be wearing it to the wedding" I continued, before folding up with the rest of my clothing and setting it in my suitcase.

"But, it's the exact same as the purple dress Carly made you buy to wear to our family meet and greet last month?" he asked confused, and he was right.

"It doesn't fit anymore" I answer embarrassedly. His cheeks burned and his mouth formed an "o" shape.

"Don't worry I'm not going to start crying over being Fat, I already did that with Carly" I laughed turning around to grab my camera.

"Good, Good" he smiled before pointing towards the Camera in my hand, "Using your little friend again?" he asked

"Firstly that was you cue to say 'Sam you are not fat!'" said scrunching my face up and dropping my voice about twenty octaves. Freddie rolled his eyes before I continued.

"Yeah," I sighed "I've been sort of neglecting it huh?" I asked placing it in the suitcase; he nodded his head, adding his own items into the suitcase. "Well, I thought this weekend would be the best time to get back into it, and my Final is in a month, well technically 2 months, but after a month I am no longer permitted to strain myself to attend college, according to Mrs. maple," I stated rolling my eyes and pointing to my still flat stomach.

"Oh and have you arranged everything with Stephanie's mum, Angus is so excited about her coming down to Alabama with us." I stated glancing over at Freddie.

"Oh" he said snapping his fingers together and pointing at me. "That's what I have left to do, check that out with her," he added leaning over the bed and grabbing the phone of the nightstand "Hurry up Sam, we have to meet Harper and Carly for dinner soon, they have important news to tell us" he finished straightening himself up and heading for the door.

"Oh whatever could it be?" I asked in mock shock, I received an exaggerated shrug in response. "Do you think they would mind if I showed up wearing this?" I asked referring to Freddie's Gray hoddy.

"As sexy as I fell you are in it, I think they would, pack it for sleeping in" he replied as he walked out of the room to call his cousin, second cousin? Aunt? Well whatever it was.

I pulled the hoody of, folding it up and placing it in my suitcase. As I did this I caught a glimpse of myself in my underwear in the mirror. And there it was. The tiniest hint of a bump, but it was still there. I stood looking at my stomach in awe in the mirror, marvelling it with my hands. I screamed Freddie's name out in excitement when I heard him get off the phone. He came rushing into the room, banging into the door frame on the way.

"As much as I like looking at you in your underwear Sam, why did you call me in here?" he asked confused not noticing. Until he took in my actions and then he started stuttering over his words before he finally got out;

"You have a bump!" and rushing over to me and placing his hand on top of mine.

"I have a bump" I whispered in agreement pressing my forehead against

his and finally feeling one of the many Joys of pregnancy!

Lamaze Class was a lot better this week, me and Freddie did still take the piss out of the team leader; Tatiana, although this week I had my own pregnancy Joy!

Carly and Harper's big news? Their getting married!!!!! Bet you didn't see that one coming, because me and Freddie certainly didn't. (Could you feel the sarcasm?) Unbeknownst to Carly, Harper had already informed us that he was going to propose. Well more like Harper told Freddie he got a ring for Carly, which he let slip to me, then a month later after a lot of pep talks from Freddie, he proposed.

Carly's ring was a lot plainer than mine-I mean Freddie's mother's engagement ring. Carly's was pretty and understated just like her personality; mine was bold and flashy like my personality. Did I say mine again? Man I got to stop that!

333

I watched on as Freddie chased Stephanie around the Airport, while we waited for the other's to show up to catch our Plane to New York! Yet another thrill of excitement surged through my body as I thought about seeing my family again.

Laughter filled the air as Freddie caught up with his cousin, wrapping his arms around her waist spinning her around and twisting her onto his shoulder, chuckling along with her.

As I watch the scene before me, I couldn't help caress my slightly swollen stomach as a smile appeared on my face.

"We're so sorry we're late" said a panic stricken Carly as she came rushing towards me, hugging me with one arm while the other was occupied with a dainty little suitcase.

I was just about to voice my surprise at her lack of luggage when I seen Harper coming struggling behind her, I glanced over at Carly before bursting into laughter, shaking my head at her.

"What?" she shrugged innocently "As the girls scoots say, always be prepared!"

"Be prepared for what?" I screeched looking at Carly in disbelieve. And she was the one majoring in History!

"Well I won't know exactly what until the emergency happens now will I?" she asked sighing in frustration. I went to argue back but knew better of it.

"Yes Spencer, I am positive that it is perfectly fine for a ten month old to travel on a plain!" Said an Irritated Serena said as she waddled towards us with Spencer trailing on her tail holding Ella.

"Why would she want to go through this all again just two months after popping out the first?" I whispered to Carly pointing at my little baby bump.

"I do not know." Carly whispered back slightly whimpering away from a heavily pregnant Serena, 8 months to be exact! She had kindly offered to let me be there during the birth to help me be prepared for my own, she caught me of guard and I couldn't think of an excuse out of it and when she told me that Spencer was out of town on an important business trip for a new art gallery, on her due date, I couldn't bring myself to turn her down!

"And why are you not coming again?" Spencer asked confused and quite terrified about his wife's reply.

"Because pregnant women can't travel after the third trimester" Serena Explained to her rather bizarre husband.

"And Ella's coming because...?" Spencer asked once again confused and quite timidly.

"You need some father daughter time and I need a good nights sleep!" She screeched in response.

"Man, pregnant women are mean!" mumbled Harper, turning at walking towards to check in carly following behind him laughing.

"Ha-ha, just think, in a couple of weeks that will be you" Freddie laughed as he set Stephanie on the ground taking her hand in his.

"Freddie, that's me on a good with out pregnancy," I stated turning towards him "If that's what pregnancy did to poor, timid, Serena, Imagine what it'd do to me," I finished as I took Stephanie's other hand. "Oh and you get to be Spencer!"

Freddie's smile faded, before following me towards the check in.

As I climbed out of the yellow taxi and looked up at the old familiar, worn down, diner/flat in front of me, I felt the giddiness rush through my veins and a smile spread across my face.

"I'm Home!" I shrieked, grabbing Freddie's right hand in both of mine, and jumped up and down.

"Did you just shriek?" Freddie asked me, raising his eyebrow and looking quite disturbed.

I rolled my eyes at him, dropping his hand and pointing to Harper, who was lifting out the luggage with Spencer, while Carly cooed at Ella. Freddie in turn rolled his eyes at me walking over to start helping Spencer and Harper.

"Hey, I'm a pregnant lady here!" I screeched after him as he chuckled shaking his head.

"You're what?" I deep voice demanded from the diner door. My head snapped to the door to see my older brother standing there. Did I not mention the Tie was unaware of my current situation, must have slipped my mind.

"Hey there, Tie" I said in a giddy voice trying to lighten the mood, he opened his mouth to say something but it was soon shut as a stampede of foot steps interrupted him.

"Sam!" Mrs Benson called rushing over to me, wrapping me in a welcoming hug. She has decided to come with my mother insisting that there was just too much planning to do by herself. "Oh my, Sam" she Gasped placing he hand on my stomach.

"I know" I giggled "It just formed out of no were" Mrs Benson smiled warmly at me giving me another tight hug before walking over to Freddie to give him a lecture on ensuring he was taking care of me properly.

"Sam" I heard another slightly higher pitch of voice call me, I turned around to see Angus bond towards me. "Is she here, Sam, did she really get to come?" He asked excitedly. I let out a slight giggle.

"Well, hello to you to buddy" I replied before pointing towards Stephanie, who seemed to be jumping over the cracks in the pavement onto another square, before stopping abruptly and waving excitedly over at Angus. Who, immediately rushed over to her, grabbing her hand, pulling her towards the diner, and started explaining rather animatedly about all the stuff they'd be doing over the weekend ahead.

"Sam?" came a questioning, frail, voice. The voice I'd been waiting to her for so long.

"Hi" I said softly as I dragged my gaze away from Stephanie and Angus.

"Sam!" she cried this time Wrapping me up in her weak arms.

"Je'mama" I smiled returning the hug.

As we pulled apart I glanced towards the entry to the diner hoping to see Tie only to find it unoccupied.

"Hey, don't worry about your brother Sammy sweetheart, he'll come around," She reassured me, softly patting my cheek and leading me into the diner.

333

We were all gather around the kitchen table talking wedding plans, well everyone apart from Tie. I had glanced out the window towards the Garage were he would most likely was, quit a few times.

"Go on" Freddie whispered to me, nudging me slightly.

"Are you sure?" I asked afraid to leave him alone with Brian.

"Sam, go talk to your brother, I'm not going to eat the lad" stated Brian still leaving me uneasy, but I got up and left anyway, placing a soft kiss on Freddie's lips.

333

"Tie?" I called out as I entered his work area. He was a mechanic, and from the looks of things, business wasn't that slow.

"I'm here," he muttered from under the car "Hand me the spanner" he asked sticking out his hand. I turned around to his tool box, retrieving the spanner and handing it over to him. I leaned up against the side door of the car, resting my hand on my small bump (Yes I am slightly obsessed with my bump, But ahh I have a bump!) looking around the place.

"Do you remember when I used to help you out here?" I asked remembering when I used to visit here during the holidays and help him fix the cars; I loved getting my hands dirty, as you well know.

"Yea well you won't be doing that this weekend will you?" he replied harshly as he continued to work on the car.

"I'm pregnant Tie, not an invalid!" I snapped

"Yeah, Sam, there is still not a chance on Gods green earth I'm letting you under a Car" He laughed, I huffed slightly, crossing my arms before realising he had just laughed.

"Ha" I screamed jumping up and pointing at the car he was under "You laughed that means you forgive me!"

"Sam, I never said I was mad at you!" he sighed still from under the car.

"Well, you weren't exactly un-mad at me were you?" I demanded getting frustrated "And for the love of ham would you get out from under that car, its annoying talking to a car bonnet!" I huffed

He chuckled before wheeling him self from under it and walking towards the tool table, setting down the spanner and turning towards me.

"Sam, I'm not mad at you, I'm just di..." he started before I rolled my eyes and interrupted him.

"I'm just disappointed in you!" I mocked "I've heard it all from Brian, Tie! Jesus! When well you realise I'm 21 not 12!" I cried out frustrated.

"When you start acting like it!" He snapped back "Sam, I thought you prided yourself in not being like other girls, you didn't get pushed into things!" He spat at me.

"I didn't get pushed into anything Tie, I got Drunk!" I cried back "And I'm 21, Tie I had sex for the first time! Whoop die bloody doo, I'm five years past the legal age!" I screech at him, I could see him cringing at the topic of sex, but I was too far into fight mood to notice.

"And just in case you were wondering," I continued fuming "I'm still with the father! I'm not some slut Tie, I thought you knew that!" I finished my rant breathlessly, and with angry tears burning the back of my eyes, stupid hormones! Is that another delight of pregnancy Tatiana?

"Who is the Father?" He bravely asked, not meeting my eyes

"Freddie," I mumbled glancing down at the floor trying to blink away my tears, so my vision was no longer blared.

"Freddie? As in the dork you've tortured for the past nine years?" he questioned me amused holding back laughter, I nodded my head meekly.

"What did the poor lad do to deserve that" He joked causing me to sniffle a soft shut up and rub vigorously at my eyes.

"Sam, don't cry I'm only joking!" he said hastily moving towards me quickly and wrapping me in a tight hug.

"I-I-I-t-s-s not you-r-re fault" I stumbled over my words "It my stupid hormones" He chuckled slightly.

"Am I going to have to have the whole, brother, boyfriend talk?" He asked me as we pulled away.

"No," I said shaking my head and rubbing my eyes "he has had enough of them from Brian." Tie nodded his head, before us both burst into laughter.

"Everything's going to be alright, you know that right?" he asked me as we stopped laughing, I nodded my head slightly before leaning into him for another hug.

333

At around ten, me and Freddie decided we wanted to have some peace and quite alone, for a while so we left the hustle and bustle of the diner which my grandma and mum still run together and walked towards one of the must famous parks in the world; central park.

"How did it go with Tie then?" Freddie asked me as I wrapped my arms around his waist, snuggling further into him.

"Good, lost my temper with him, had a screaming match, cried, hugged and made up and he reassured me everything was going to me just fine" I filled before laughing.

"Yep, that does sound like things went pretty well," agreed Freddie before laughing along with me.

"This is were Brian saved my mum" I whispered softly as I sat down on a bench over looking the park.

Freddie looked over at me curiously.

"After the whole thing with my dad, my mum didn't handle things to well, when she finally broke down this is were it happened" I explained referring to the bench. "Brian came looking for her and from then on took care of her, with out him I don't know were she would be Freddie!" I finished quietly; Freddie nodded his head in agreement giving my hand a tight squeeze.

"Freddie there's something I have to tell you" I said looking up at him and holding his gaze. And it was that exact moment I knew, I truly loved Freddie. Sitting on a bench in central park, staring in to his eyes which looked even darker under the flickering light of the street lamp and his skin looked even tanner under the glow of the moonlight. He nodded his head encouraging me to go on.

"But before I continue, you have to promise you'll listen to the full story," I said

"Sam, you're starting to scare me" Freddie mumbled.

"Freddie, just promise me!" I pleaded.

"Okay, Okay Sam, I promise" he said worry sketched all over his face, I smiled weakly at him before continuing.

"My dad's not dead" I stated, Freddie looked at me in shock, then relief washed across his face, then Guilt replaced that. "He's in jail for armed robbery resulting in murder." I finished, Freddie looked at me confused.

"Sam don't take this the wrong way but why are you telling me this?" muttered Freddie bemused.

"Think about it Freddie" I whispered giving his hand a tight squeeze.

His features scrunched up and his lips moved slightly as he tried to figure out the riddle I had just giving him before they stopped abruptly, his grip on my hand slacked and realisation spread across his face.

"New York...My dad was killed...armed robbery...murder...but...Sam?" He looked at me fear itched on his features.

"Freddie, I'm sorry" I stuttered through my tears "I-I wanted to tell you But-B-But" I stammered over my words as Freddie dropped my hand and got up from the bench.

"But what, Sam!" He roared at me "What reason can you possibly give me to excuse you from not mentioning to me once in are nine years of friendship, that you're dad murdered mine!"

"You're mum begged me not too" I mumbled bowing my head down ashamed.

"Is that why you treated me the way you did for so long?" he demanded "Did it make you feel better about the fact it was my father's fault your dad is in prison?" he asked.

I shook my head rapidly finding it difficult too breath "I–I-I thought if I treated you like that, it would make it easier to lie, but it didn't Freddie, It didn't" I finished feebly, getting up trying to stop him from leaving, but he just pride his way out of my weak grip.

"Freddie" I called after him repeatedly as he stormed out of the park before seating down on the bench and cried until I had no tears left.

Freddie's POV

"Why didn't any of you tell me?" I demanded as I stormed in to the diner cutting any chatter that had been going on as the whole family cleared up the diner, off. The only sound that filled the air was the clatter that came from the Kitchen as Eva dropped a plate and it smashed to the ground.

"Right, okay Buddy, why don't we just calm down, sleep on it and talk about it in the morning?" asked Brian walking towards me.

"Because, I don't want to wait until then!" I screeched, before finally breaking down.

"Why didn't you tell me mum? Why?" I managed to blubber out, as I wiped at my eyes roughly with my hand, embarrassed at what a sissy I was being, before I know it the diner was clear and everybody had left and went up to the top of the flat.

"Why?" I whispered again, It was now my mum's turn to start crying, and that sight was almost more heart breaking than the state I had left Sam in at the Park, almost!

"Because," she started, finding a hanky and dabbing at her cheeks "Because, I knew if you knew, it would tear the friendship you had formed with Sam apart."

"She tried to do that any way!" I cried out, running my fingers through my hair in frustration.

"Freddie, you might not believe it, but she was hurting just as much as you!" my mum started "do you think she wanted to have a murderer as a father?" she demanded, I started at her dumb founded "exactly! Her father was just as dead as yours was!" My mum continued.

"Was?"I asked confused.

"Yes, was," My mum continued "Freddie," she sighed "You were lucky, you got a hero for a dad! Sam got a deadbeat! Then Brian came along and made things for this family so much better, Freddie, Sam's father's not the man rotting in a jail cell god knows were! Sam's Father is the man who scared the you know what out of you when he found out you got his baby girl pregnant, he's the man whose going to be there in the waiting room during the birth of your baby, he's the one whose going to be giving Sam to you when she gives in and marries you, He's the hero who did the best he could for you're dad, me, and Sam's Family" she finished with a soft shrug, "That's why I didn't want to tell you" I started at my mum in awe, for someone who is crazy 99.9% of the time she made a lot of sense there now.

333

Sam's POV

As I walked home wiping my tear stained cheeks, I noticed the dim lights were still on in the diner letting me now that some one was still up.

As I enter the door of the diner and the Bell jingled signalling I had just entered, I felt a pair of eyes burn into me, I turned my head to see Freddie looking at me softly, he got up and walked towards me silently.

"Freddie I..." I started only to be stopped as Freddie placed his finger on top of my lips

"Sam Please don't destroy the moment!" he stated before dipping his head and capturing my lips with his, this was way better than the kiss we shared last month when we made up after rowing over getting engaged, way better than the kiss we shared when we told each other we loved each other, way better than the sloppy kisses we shared as we ran giddily towards his dorm that Christmas eve, And it was defiantly a lot better than our first kiss!

It was timid yet Passionate, filled with love and lust, it was just amazing! My hands ran through his hair as his tongue softly trailed along my bottom lip gaining entrance and wrestling with mine.

As it came to an end Freddie whispered into my mouth "I'm so sorry, I love you"

"I love you too" I muttered into his mouth before going back to kissing him.

This was going to be one long bumpy ride!

A/N: review please!!!
