Hey guys! This is a new story we're going to be working on for the summer. Yes, you read right, as of 3:30pm on Friday the 1st of June 2012, me and Georgia are officially on summer holiday! We only have to go back for exams then that's it. We're not going to be available for about 2 weeks in about July time. This is because we're going on an adventure holiday of some sort and we get a week at the adventure camp then a week at a University campus. So technically, Mum gets rid of us for 3 weeks completely free of charge. Tell us what you think and what we can improve. Peace Out! TG101 :-D x
Mercedes giggled as she felt Sam's warm breath on the nape of her neck. Rolling over, she grinned, seeing Sam stare at her, his soft green eyes filled with love.
"Hey there beautiful" he grinned, placing one of his big hands onto her gently swollen stomach.
"Hey Sam." she smiled back, her hand dwarfed against Sam's.
She couldn't believe it. 5 years ago she was just out of college and without a boyfriend. Now, she was in a steady job as an elementary school music teacher and married for nearly a year. Plus she was 22 weeks pregnant with their first child who Sam was convinced that it was a girl.
"So...are you wanting to find out the gender anytime soon?" Sam asked, propping himself up onto his elbows.
Mercedes shook her head laughing "Not yet. Oh! Before I forget, there's been some movement again"
Sam's eyes widened "There has?" he asked, sounding a lot like a kid in a candy store "When?"
"Last night. Nothing major but a few light kicks, slightly harder than the ones at 18 weeks. Well, there's been enough for me to wake up, let's just say that"
Sam's hand hovered unsurely over her stomach, unsure whether or not he was allowed to touch it
She laughed, nodding "Honey, go ahead, see if it'll wake up for you. I'm gonna be reading Christine for a bit."
As Mercedes put her glasses on and settled down, Sam budged over so he could get nearer and gingerly put on of his hands just above Mercedes' naval.
"Um...'Ce,nothing's happening"
She sighed, giving her husband a bit of an annoyed smirk "Try talking or some pressure. I'm sure it'll do it soon."
"Er...hey kid, it's Daddy here...I can't believe you're really gonna consider me as that in a few months. Listen, try not to kick your Mom too much okay? She's a beautiful woman and she deserves a beautiful life."
Mercedes grinned, recognising the quote from the film they watched the night before. Turning over the page, she winced as she felt a hard kick
"Wow! 'Ce did you feel that?" Sam's voice had gone higher a few octaves, becoming more excited "Did you feel that 'Ce?"
She nodded grimly "Yep, I felt that. Come on sweetie, I don't want my ribs to be kicked to a pulp JUST yet"
Sam gasped as he felt it turn over, as if it was trying to get comfortable "I bet THAT'S uncomfortable"
"You bet. Now, seeing as it's 7, I was wondering would you mind to make some pancakes? You know how much the baby enjoys them."
"The baby is the only human that can actually stand my cooking." he smirked, climbing out of bed. He helped Mercedes downstairs and looked in the cupboard and fridge
"And what does m'lady want with her pancakes this morning? We've got eggs, bacon, maple syrup, potatoes and sausage."
"Syrup and potatoes today, I think."
"Syrup and potato pancakes coming right up"
Once they'd finished breakfast, Sam went upstairs to get changed as did Mercedes.
"Y'know, you're making it really hard to find decent stuff that fits you know that?" Mercedes asked, talking to her stomach "And as for shoes, all I can fit in is crocs, which honey, is NOT a good look."
The baby responded with a swift kick, making Mercedes cringe.
"I know you're embarrassed but don't blame me, blame your father, he was the one that got me pregnant."
"Hey! You liked it" Sam purred, giving his wife a teasing wink making her blush "I was thinking tonight we could try out that new seafood restaurant..."
"Can't. I'm pregnant and I'm not meant to eat shellfish. We could always go to Breadstix?" she offered, putting her hand on his arm "Hmm?"
"Why don't we just order a take-out? I'll go to the video store on the way back from work."
"Okay then. I've got a checkup this afternoon so I'll be a bit late. Oh, could you make sure to get Totoro or something?"
"Sure. I need to go now, love you"
"Love you too"
Mercedes was relaxing with a movie when the phone rang. Sighing, she got up and picked up the receiver, half expecting Sam to be on the other end, sheepishly explaining that he locked his keys in the car again.
"No Sam, I am not helping you this time round, you got yourself in this mess and you're getting yourself out."
"I'm sorry, is this Mercedes Evans?"
"Yes" she said, sounding unsure "Is everything alright?"
"I'm afraid to say this but your husband's been in a crash."
