Samcedes: Forever Prelude by Yinx
Sam found Mercedes sitting on the edge of the tub when he walked a minute later.
"What did it say" he asked
"I'm pregnant, Sam"
Sam couldn't help but smile but it faltered when he saw she was crying. He knelt in front of her and held her hands.
"Yawne... do you want the baby" he whispered.
She smiled and looked at him through her crocodile tears "Yes Sam I'm actually really happy.
Sam smiled and kissed her. "I'm happy too. We get to think of baby names" he said against her lips.
"And go baby shopping." She giggled.
A knock came at the door. Sam pulled Mercedes up as he got up and went to the door. It was Santana.
"Your parents are here Mercedes" she looked concerned.
Sam told her that they would be right out.
"I guess we better face the music" Mercedes said looking at Santana walking away.
Sam cupped her face to make her look at him. "We are going to be a family no matter what they say Mercedes. They will either take it or leave it."
Mercedes placed her hand over his and kissed him for his wise words. "Okay let's go."
The living room was silent the Joneses sat opposite Santana and Brittany who had Lord Tubbington in her lap.
"So, Lord Tubbington lost five pounds when I weighted him today, but I totally saw him eating my Jell-O Temptations the other day so he might have lost more if he wouldn't quit sneaking snacks." She said petting the cat.
Santana placed a hand on her knee when she saw the couple came in.
"So did you take a test her" mother asked.
They nodded. Sam put his hand around her and pulled her close.
"So what did you two decide to do" her mother continued. Her father wouldn't look at them.
"We decided to keep it and stay together as a family." Sam said firmly looking at Mercedes and giving her a squeeze.
"I see, what about marriage since you just skipped over that."
"Um..." They looked at each other.
"Mr. and Mrs. Jones if I may" said Santana. "They whole gang was planning a wedding for them. It was actually supposed to be a surprise but now..."
"Hmmm... That's very nice of you dear but it doesn't make this whole predicament here just go away."
"Daddy" Mercedes said stepping forward and touching her father's shoulder. Her father jerked away and stood up.
"You have disappointed me, Mercedes. Let's go Olivia." He said to his wife. They both walked out of the room
Mercedes hurried after them. "Daddy, please understand..."
"There's nothing to understand Mercedes" he said quietly as he opened the door letting his wife go out first.
"Mom please" said Mercedes in tears and shakes.
Her mother looked at her longingly as she was forced out the door.
"Mercedes, I thought I had raised you better, I guess I was wrong" her father said as they walked out to their car.
Mercedes starred after them silent tears streaming.
Sam's heart was breaking but his blood was boiling from the way the Jones had treated their daughter. He laid for what seemed like hours hearing his beloved crying in his arms. He didn't know what to say or do but finally she had cried herself to sleep. He watched her for a while. Then got up and walked out of the room dialing as he went.
"It's about time one of you called me, hold on I'm putting you on speaker... Okay you're on with me and Finn"
"Mercedes is pregnant"
There was a lot of cheering, yelling, and whooping. It died down fast when Sam didn't join in.
"What's wrong Sam you're supposed to be happy." Finn asked
"Mercedes parents aren't pleased about the situation."
"What why"? Kurt asked.
"The basically disowned her" Sam choked back a sob.
"We are coming over." Kurt said. "Stay strong Sam."
"Hold on buddy" Finn said.
Sam sat on the couch closed his eyes.
"Sam"?
He opened his eyes and saw Brittany standing there.
"Hey Brittany"
"Hey Sam, I was like totally confused during the whole thing. So Santana explained it to me. I'm very sorry."
"Thanks Brittany"
"No problem Sam, I was about to get a snack you want to come with."
"Yeah that would be nice" he said smiling for the first time in hours.
"So today I found Lord Tubbington chain smoking on the front lawn at like five o'clock this morning. I think it's how he has been losing weight so fast" Brittany said cutting into a 5-layer cake she was testing out. She handed him a slice.
"Thanks" he said taking a bite. "Wow this is good"
She smiled "You know they will come around right"
Sam's shoulders sagged. "I hope so"
"They will you know why, because whether they like it or not Mercedes, their daughter, is bringing their first grandchild into this world. And they will want to here for that child."
Sam starred at Brittany "You know you are really smart"
"I have my moments, but I prefer the term wise beyond my years. Plus how cute will your baby be. Tina and Mike's Asian baby was born knowing karate, so yours will know how to effectively tame frizz on curly headed people. Totally fierce" she smiled as the doorbell rang.
"Where is she" Kurt said walking in the door that Sam opened.
"Asleep, don't wake her up it was forever before she cried herself to sleep." Sam said leading them to the kitchen.
Brittany gave them both hugs and offered some of her cake as she went off to bed. Only when they had sat down in the nook with slices of cake did Finn ask what happened. Sam told them the story feeling his anger coming back. They were silent for what seemed like hours.
"What did your parents say" Finn asked breaking the silence
Sam blinked "I haven't even called them" he said pulling his phone out and dialing.
"Hello" said a sleepy Mrs. Evans.
"Hi mom"
"Hey Sam what going on are you in trouble."
"No. Um mom it's Mercedes"
"What is she okay"?
"She's fine… um she's pregnant"
"No"
"Err…Yes"
"Oh my goodness, I'm going to a grandmother, Harry wake up… WAKE UP HAROLD"
Sam looked up at his friends who had their hands over their mouths to keep from laughing.
Sam's dad swore "What the devil are you going on about woman"
"Harold, Mercedes is pregnant" she squealed.
"What… Mercedes is what"
"She going to have a baby"
"By who"?
Finn and Kurt fell out their chairs in fits
"Sam! Seriously I'm going to need you to keep up"
"Congratulations, Sam" they both said in unison.
"Thanks mom, dad. You can tell Stacie and Stevie they are going to be an aunt and uncle soon" he grinned kicking the two guys rolling around under the table.
"We will baby, oh my goodness…" she said as she hung up the phone.
"Dudes, really" Sam said looking under the table.
Mercedes woke up the next morning to a bed full of people. Kurt slept next to her and Finn at the foot and Sam was spooning her from behind. She turned to face Sam and gave him a soft kiss. He smiled
"Mmmm… good morning Mike" he said.
Mercedes punched him as he started laughing.
"Seriously"?
"Just joshing with you, Yawne how are you" he asked.
"I've been better" she whispered.
"Mercedes I love you, I promise that things will get better" he said kissing her forehead.
"I can see that… Kurt and Finn are in my bed right now" she smirked
"Yeah about that" he laughed waking Kurt who kicked Finn, square in the face and woke Finn up. He stringing swear word together at Mercedes never knew you could.
"Mercedes your up, guess what I have for you." Kurt said. "Jennifer Hudson and Beyoncé' will sing your problems away, child." He got up and put Dreamgirls into the DVD player.
They all watched together for a few minutes. Sam nudged Finn as he nodded at the door. "I'm taking Mercedes back to Texas with me tomorrow" Sam said to Finn once he closed the bedroom door.
"Why you going to Texas"? Santana asked as she came out of nowhere scaring the guys.
"Um… I need to head back for the rest of training camp" Sam said breathing hard.
"Oh well, me and Brittany are coming too" she said "I need to tie up some fashion ends but we can be there by Saturday."
"Okay but Brittany's job"? Finn asked
"Please that girl runs that joint like a sweat shop. It's very scary, really" she shuddered "but she was planning on opening another restaurant, so she can do scouting, or whatever."
"Thanks Santana" Sam said hugging her.
"Ewe… gets off me, Flounder. I'm only doing this for Mercedes" she rolled her eyes but smiled as she walked off.
