Fireman Sam SAM&PENNY ONE-SHOTS

First trip

Hello everyone! I ended this chapter last week, but I keep it for you so long, because I had to close a case that wasn't talk about in this chapter. And I couldn't find a map that gave me inspiration for this chapter. I hope you'll like it and I wonder what would be your guesses about the cities in the end. And to everyone who don't like Ben better slid the middle of thsi chapter. The beginning and end are safe, I promise.

PS. Last night I spent 4 hours and I went from 69 drafts and published oneshots to 140. So there will be a lot going on here;) (and I only wanted to write next oneshot in peace)
🙈🙉🙊

After a week Sam and Penny still couldn't belive they were married now. They both had a whole week off, so it was a time of relaxation. But their friends didn't give them too much peace and quiet, because they came from time to time to chat and Sam's house once again was filled with laughter and jokes. When Sam and Penny were alone, they were simply enjoying each other's presence (if Cinnamon fall asleep).

"Have you just washed your hair again?" Sam asked, putting the computer down on the table, when Penny walked to the living room with her hair tied up in a towel.

"And have you just looked in a computer again?" She teased back, taking a seat right next to her husband. Sam spent everymorning or evening when she went to wash her hair, looking something up in his computer, however Penny didn't know what he scheming. Sam sent her a sceptical gaze that made her laugh. "And yeah, I did wash my hair. It's greasy and I still can feel the gel under my fingers" she complained, shuddering with disgust.

"I thought I was the one that had a ton of gel in the hair" Sam remarked wittily, which cost him Penny's elbow in his side.

"Anyway, I'm glad it is finally after us" she muttered, cuddling to Sam.

"Why?" He gently pulled a corner of her towel and Penny's wet hair fall down freely on her shoulders.

"I'm happy we can call each other husband and wife" she explained. Penny also wanted to added something more, but Sam squezed her a little to silence.

"But you hadn't agreed on taking my family name" he complained. They discussed it multiply times, but it was still tense for each of them and their families.

"I told you, it would be too difficult at work, and besides everyone already knows I belong to you" she smiled, finding a way to escape from his strong, but gentle, grip. And before Sam could reacted, she added when she grabbed a towel on her way back to the bathroom "and maybe now I can wish all the rumors ended."

"Belive me, they are just getting started" Sam shouted after her. He chuckled under nose, browsing the internet on his computer as he was waiting for his wife to end drying her hair. But the hair dryer didn't seem to go quiet soon.

After half an hour, Penny came back to the living room with her hair tied in a ponytail. She went to the kitchen and came back with two hot chocolates. They drank it in silence from each other's cups while watching a film in TV. Penny laid her head on her husband's chest while Sam closed her in his arms.
After second commercial's break Sam felt how Penny's head got heavy. He looked down on her only to see that her eyes were closed. She must have fallen asleep long ago, because she didn't wake up, when Sam slowly loosened his grip and carefully, not to wake Penny up, he laid her head on one of the pillows on the couch. He quietly walked to get a blanket to cover Penny. He left her, taking his laptop and going to the garden. He closed the door, wondering why Penny was so sleepy last days.

Penny's nap lasted around two hours, but she still woke up a little tired. She pulled back the blanket to slide out from under it and quickly found a warm tongue on her cheek. Cinamon ran from the garden back to the house and took a great opportunity to play with his human best friend as Drake jokingly named his new daughter-in-law.

"I thought Cinamon was supposted to spend whole days outside, wasn't he, Sam?" She asked when she found her husband on the garden swing, again with his head in his laptop.

Sam, who was completely unaware both of Penny's appearance and Cinamon's disappearence, was taken by surprise. He definately shouldn't let Cinamon spent so much time with Peper, his father's dog. He learned too much from her, even how to independently open the door with the simplest lock. Like the back door from the garden to the house.

"Sorry, Penny, but you know how he loves you" he tried to escape with a good excuse. "I'm sure I closed the door and he was asleep at that time next to me. I must have not noticed how he opened the door all by himself. "

"You really should started training him harder. This boy needs some kind of school" she stroked Cinamon's head. She took a sit next to Sam, still with an older puppy in her hands, and she tried to run the crane to his laptop. "What are you searching there the whole day?"

"You'll know when I end it" Sam asnwered misteriously, still tapping something on the keyboard.

"We're even not a marriage for a week and you already keep secrets from me" she accussed him.

"No, you know I wouldn't dare" he raised his hand in defense. This short, but steady, moment was enough for Penny to take a closer look on the computer screen.

"Travel agency website?" Penny asked confused and surprised at the same time.

"You see, it was supposted to be a surprise for you" he tried to explain, but his shoulders lowered in resignation. "We got so many wonderful presents, even those hand-made wooden photo frames in shape of hearts. But I wanted to give you something else, something we can both remember. So, yeah, it was a trip idea".

"To where?" Penny hadn't never hidden her a little child's part of personality and now she asked with so much child's curiousity in voice no one could resist.

"That's a problem. I can't decide" Sam showed her computer's screen with an open page with destination.

"So let's decide together. After all two heads are better than one" Penny invented. But after an hour of browsing, even that didn't help. "I can't choose, there's so much to see" she complained.

As they were going through the webside countless times, adding more intresting for them destination to their paper list, someone knocked at their door. Penny and Sam exchanged surprised looks. It was almost the end of their week off and noone of their friends went through the gate, or, if so, they would definatelly not knock. After the knock was repeated, Sam handed Penny laptop and went to see who was willing to knock before enter.

"Ben?" Penny heard Sam's surprised voice coming from behind the garden gate.

"Good morning, Sam" the guest answered. "Can I talk with Penny?"

"Pen!" Sam shouted, leading Ben inside the garden.

"These are for you, I am grateful you saved me" he whispered charmingly, giving Penny a bouquet of flowers. Then he turned to Sam. "I'm glad it all ended well, but you deserve to know. I wanted to commit a suicide" he confessed, feeling Sam's heavy glimpse laying with all force on him.
But then happened something than not Ben, not Penny, not even Sam could guessed would happen. Sam in caring gesture invited Ben into a hug and two men clapped each other's backs.

"I'm glad you're whole" Sam straightened his hands to shook Ben's shoulders. "I'm sorry about all the competition stuff. It shouldn't be so hidden" Sam apologised.

"Never mind. You've won in a fair game" and with that answer Ben waved at goodbye, leaving Sam standing alone in the gate way.

When Sam closed the gate after Ben, he felt like a stone felt down from his heart. All this well hidden game was a kind of torture for him, but Penny was more important than his own way of fairness in that alpha case. But when came back to the swing, he realized it wasn't a stone, but a rain. He looked at a door and he spotted how Penny and Cinamon were walking into the house. He grabbed the computer and followed in their footsteps, hidding from rain.

"So what we got so far?" Sam asked taking a seat next to Penny at the table.

"The eternal city, the city of love, the phoenix city, the iron city, the democration city as the top points of our lists. But also few places in America and London" Penny concluded. "We need to put it somewhere in time table, otherwise it will end like always".
