A/N: I couldn't imagine Sam not getting her a Christmas gift. I figured he would use their shared summer to remind her of her feelings. I'm not sure if I should continue so I'm counting on you guys to let me know what you think. Thanks in advance for the reviews. REVIEWS=LOVE
When The Trouble Tones came back to New Directions Kurt and Rachel decided they
would make an effort to get their relationship with Mercedes back on track. Kurt and Rachel both missed her. They were the three divas and they didn't have much time left together. Rachel decided that she would take matters into her hands and invite Mercedes and Kurt to her house for a sleepover like they used to have before things got so complicated. After they performed for the kids at the shelter Rachel approached Mercedes.
"Mercedes, I would like to offer you an invitation to my house for a sleepover. The three divas like before."
"Rachel, it's the holidays and I have a lot of family over."
"OK how about before school starts up again we get together?"
"OK. That sounds like fun." Rachel joined Kurt and told him that Mercedes agree to meet up with them right before break was over. They were both very excited and they couldn't wait to get their girl time.
Mercedes wasn't sure why she agreed to the sleepover with Kurt and Rachel other than she missed them. She started to get really excited about them spending time together. She loved her family but after a couple weeks they were wearing on her nerves she was excited to get away from them. The day of the sleepover Mercedes mother called her downstairs to tell her she had a guest. When she reached the bottom of the stairs she was surprised to see Sam standing in the hallway.
"Sam! What are you doing here?"
"Merry Christmas, Mercy."
"Merry Christmas, Sam."
"I just stopped by to say hi and give you this." He handed her a gift bag. Kissed her on her cheek, whispered Merry Christmas in her ear caressed her face and walked out the door. She took the gift bag upstairs set it on her bed and stared at it for an hour. She finally opened it and on top was a picture frame decorated with glitter and sequence inside the frame was a picture of Stacey and Stevie. She didn't realize how much she missed them until she saw that picture. Under the frame was a gift card from Sam's parents thanking her for all the babysitting she had done. At the bottom of the bag was one more gift. She slowly took the package out of the bag and she burst into tears.
Flashback
Mercedes was laying across her bed looking at her someday box. She was waiting for Sam. It was raining and their park date had to be transferred into a indoor date.
"Hi, beautiful."
"Hi, Sammy." Sam climbed onto her bed and kissed her hard.
"What are you doing?"
"Looking at my someday box."
"What's a someday box?"
"It's a box of dreams. I have little physical representations of my dreams. Every time I fulfill a dream a take the representation of that thing out of the box."
"What kind of things do you have in there?"
"It's mostly pictures. I have a picture of a Grammy, a New York subway map, an empty Tiffany's box, and other stuff."
"What other stuff? Let me see." Sam looked into the box and saw pictures mostly of the career she wanted for herself. At the bottom of the box was a picture of a family and he looked at her and she turned away. "Baby, what's this?"
"Nothing. It's a family."
"How long has this been in your someday box?"
"I've always had a family in there."
"Mercy, you know exactly what I mean." Sam looked at the picture in his hand looking at the interracial family smiling back at him. It warmed his heart that in her someday she had made a place for him. He hugged her and kissed her deeply. All the things from her someday box went scattered across the floor. When they came up for air Sam asked her the other question on his mind. "What's with the empty jewelry box?"
"Sam, it's a Tiffany's box! If a man gave me Tiffany's I'd be his forever!"
"I'll remember that."
