This chapter is kinda random, but I wanted to get the adoption part out of the way towards the beginning so it can be involved with the rest of the story! I hope you guys like it :)
A little later that afternoon, Sam and Freddie were walking in a little park Sam found close to the apartment.
They were walking in silence, hands intertwined and watching some families playing with their kids scattered around the park. Sam smiled a little at them.
They were just about to walk past a newspaper kiosk when Freddie pulled Sam back.
"What the chiz?" she asked him after being tugged backwards.
"I just remembered that they have adoption ads in the paper," Freddie told her as he picked up a newspaper.
Sam gave him the weirdest look. "Wait, whoa, whoa. They really have ads for parents? Just randomly in the newspaper?"
Freddie nodded as they walked towards a bench. "Mm hmm!"
"Wait, I think I've seen that before. Isn't it next to the ads about exotic birds and soap for the elderly?" Sam asked as they sat down.
"Yep, that's the one."
When they sat down, Freddie handed Sam the newspaper and wrapped an arm around her. She opened it up and found the ad straight away.
She took a deep breath. "Well I-I guess we just pick which couple we want…right?"
"Yeah, I-I guess," Freddie said, shrugging a little.
"Okay. The first couple is uh…Mark and Lily," Sam read, pointing at their picture.
"Read that little caption thing underneath their picture," Freddie told her.
"It says that they've been married for 9 years, already have two kids and…don't allow cheese in the home?" Sam read as a question just because it sounded so insane.
"Who in the heck doesn't allow cheese in the home?" Freddie asked with a confused face.
"God only knows, but there's no way I'm picking those mutants," Sam said, rolling her eyes. "And besides, they already have two kids. They seem selfish AND disgraceful because of the cheese thing."
Freddie chuckled a little before scanning over the ad, looking for another couple.
"What about them?" He asked pointing to another picture.
"Quincy and Barbaria? What the hell? Are these people for real with the names?" Sam asked, not even trying to hold back her laughter.
"Sam-" Freddie tried to say but couldn't even hold back his own laughter.
Once they both calmed down, Freddie said "Okay, okay. Their names are the worst ever, but that doesn't mean their not good people. Read their little thingy."
Sam let out one last laugh then started reading. "Okay, it says they're both 26, love taking part in hot yoga, and collecting yarn."
"Well, all that stuff doesn't mean-"
"Moving on," Sam said already looking at the other couples and still kind of giggling about the last.
"They look normal," Freddie said pointing at a couple towards the bottom of the page.
Sam looked at where his finger was pointing.
"Yeah…yeah they do."
They looked perfect even in black and white. Sam knew that this was this had to be the couple and she didn't even know their names yet. They just looked so nice and NORMAL and didn't have a cheese fetish like the other couples.
"It says here that their names are…William and Angie," Freddie said.
"I pick them," Sam said.
"But we haven't even read anything about them yet-"
"It doesn't matter! Just look at them!" Sam said gesturing to their picture. Freddie rolled his eyes but smiled at her.
"Alright, alright, calm down. Let's just read a little more about them, okay? It says that they've been trying to have a baby for the past year and half. They're both 27 and have decent paying jobs."
"Ha! I told you they were perfect!" Sam gloated, then her smile faded a little and she looked at Freddie.
"What? You changed your mind that fast?" Freddie asked, chuckling a little.
Sam punched him in the shoulder lightly.
"No. It's- it's just that…this is really happening, isn't it? We're going to have a baby and-and we're just going to give it…to them?"
Freddie sighed and looked at her.
"Yeah. I guess-I guess we are, Sam. If you ever have doubts about this, y-you know you can always tell me, right?"
Sam gave him a small smile and kissed him on the lips.
"Of course I do, baby," she said softly.
Freddie returned her small smile and stood up and held out his hand for her. She grabbed it and squeezed.
As they were walking back to the apartment, Sam leaned her head on Freddie's shoudler
She just picked out her baby's new parents so easily like they were giving something away that barely meant anything. Was she really going to give up her baby?
So was it okay? Please review! It gives me inspiration to update faster and you guys give me ideas! :)
