(J-23 until Glee's Sadie Hawkins Episode! ;) )
Mercedes woke up with an extraordinary feeling, she was in the arms of her husband, remembering yesterday's news and she felt happy, more than ever. When she opened her eyes, she turned, and saw that her husband was staring at her. She smiled .
- What ? she ask
He smiled and pressed her against him.
- Nothing. Just... You're beautiful.
Mercedes blushed. Yeah, even after all these years, he still managed to make her blush.
- You're being cheesy again she said, rolling her eyes, even if she was touched.
- You love it he said , grinning at her.
- I love you she said , looking at him lovingly.
She kissed him passionately, and when the kiss began to carry more , Mercedes's phone rang. Sam growled , she laughed and took her phone : it was Haley , her Agent.
- Hey Haley!
- Hi Mercedes! I'm sorry, I know it's early but I have very good news for you! She said, excited.
- Oh yeah? What? She asked, surprised.
- I have the dates of your tour! In a month, in January! You'll go on tour for 6 months. In France, at Bercy. Then in Canada etc. I'll give you the details, but here's the great news! And it's out! The Fans can't wait! I'm so excited for you! It's going to be awesome!
Mercedes face fell. Oh my god the tour! She totally forgot about it! It was great, but there was one problem now: she was pregnant! Sam looked at her , questioningly .
- Mercedes? You're still here?
- Yeah, hum... Can I call you back later? She said, troubled.
- O-kay... everything's ok? Asked Haley, worried.
- Yeah! Yeah... talk to you later , bye.
She hung up, sighed, and looked at Sam .
- I , uh.. I have the dates for my tour. It's next month, during 6 months. And I just realized that I can't go , now that I'm pregnant..
Sam took her in his arms, sad for her.
- Aww baby. Can't they change the dates ?
- Hmm I don't think so. But it's okay, the health of my baby is more important than any concert or any tour, it's just that I've been waiting for this Tour for so long... I hope that my fans will understand. She said , resting her head on his shoulder.
- I'm sure. Sam said , kissing her forehead.
He was really sad for her, he know that she's been waiting for this Tour. When she discovered that she was going to do one, she couldn't stop talking about it, about how awesome it's going to be, how excited she was..
- Sam, don't start.
- What?
- I know that you're worried, but I'm okay, I'll have others opportunity. Let's just be happy for the baby okay? That's what is important.
Sam realized how lucky he was to have such an amazing wife, who puts family first. He just loved her so much, and knowing that, soon, he'll have her kid was amazing. He had everything he dreamed of, an amazing career, a wonderful wife and soon a kid... Yeah, Sam Evans was the happiest man ever.
- I love you, Mercedes Jones Evans. I can't wait to start a family with you.
- Aww.. She said , touched, I love you too, Sammy and I can't wait either. You're going to be an amazing father, I just know it.
He smiled at that and kissed her nose.
- So, when do you want to tell our friends and family the big news?
- Well, Christmas Eve is next week and we're going to Kentucky to celebrate at your parents' house and mine are also invited so I thought we could tell them there. Aaand we have the meeting "New Direction" the next day, so we could tell our friends there.
- Yeah, sounds great. But you sure you can wait that long before telling to Kurt? I know you two are like, Bestie For Ever or something. He said, teasing her .
- Of course I'm going to tell him before! She said , as if it were obvious . I didn't count him in "our friends", he's my BEST friend honey.
- Hmm, of course. Anyway, I have to go, a lot of scenes to do on set today. He said standing up, Heading to the bathroom.
- Yeah, I need to go to the studio too. I'm sooo exhausted though! She said, getting up from the bed.
- You can stay at home you know, you should rest baby . Sam said from the bathroom.
- No no, I'll have months to sleep all day, I need to work while I still can.
And that's what she did. At first she told her crew about the baby and they all were really excited for her, even if the tour has to be cancelled. Haley took care of that, and found her others opportunity, Mercedes will perform at the Trevor Project after Christmas and then she'll do an exclusive concert. During all the week she worked night and day on her album in the studio. Sam tried to stop her, but she didn't listen. She was really exhausted, and she wanted to eat all the time, she was angry at people at work, shouted at her coworkers for nothing... Kurt came at work one day in her rescue after she called him in tears. She quit the studio and they went eat something.
- So , care to explain why you called me crying hysterically ? he asked her
- I.. uh .. Sorry about that. I just needed to get out of there. This album is driving me crazy. Thank God tomorrow began my Christmas break.. I'm SO tired all the time.. And I'm freaking HUNGRY! She said angrily looking at her empty plate.
- It's your third plate of pasta , Mercy.. Are you okay? Are you... Are you bulimic? Cause you know, you can tell me ever..
- What ? No , no , god, NO. Kurt , I'm pregnant. She finally tells him.
In first his eyes widened, and the next second, he was kissing her on the cheek and hugging her tightly, laughing.
- Oh my god Mercy! I'm going to be an uncle! I'm SO happy for you and Sam! We need to baby shopping soon! And let me help you with the nursery! Oh my god, Can you imagine? A small skin tanned with beautiful green eyes like his father and beautiful wavy hair like her mother.. Oh my god I can't wait to meet my lil' niece! He said, excited, touching her small belly.
Mercedes laughed. It was so heartwarming to know that her child will be surrounded by such amazing people. Her best Friend was definitely the best.
- Or Nephew! She said laughing
- No, It's going to be a girl. A beautiful , healthy little baby girl , I just KNOW it. He said , confident.
- If you say so!
- What do you want , boy or girl ? he asked excited
- I don't know.. I'm fine with both , as long as it's healthy.
- When are you going to tell the others ? Can I tell Blaine ?
- Tomorrow we're going to the Evans for Christmas Eve. My parents will be there too, so we'll tell them. And we'll tell our friend at the New Direction party, so, NO you can't tell Blaine! Promise me!
- Ugh. Ye ah okay I promise. So, what did you bought to Sam for Christmas?
Mercedes eyes widened. Christmas presents! With everything going on lately she totally forgot to buy something for her husband!
- Hmm you forgot didn't you ? he conclude.
- God ! I TOTALLY forgot! And It's tomorrow ! oh my god..
- Calm down, obviously you're not going back to work today , so we're going to do a little shopping okay ? We'll find something, don't worry. Let's go!
They went to NYC shopping Center, and they were searching. It has to be something, something special for Sam... Mercedes suddenly stop in front of a baby store called "Baby R us" . Kurt turned back and joined her.
- Mercy?
- Kurt… look at this baby tee-shirt! She said, emotional.
It was a white little baby tee-shirt, where "I love my Daddy" was written in red in the center, with a heart. She looked at Kurt , who smiled.
- I think you just find the perfect Christmas present.
After buying the gift, she went home to Sam, and the next day, they were packing. A few hours later, they were in the car. Mercedes wasn't feeling well at all, she threw up all morning, and her back was killing her. Sam , as usual was really worried.
- Is there something I could do to help you baby? Do you want me to stop at a grocery to buy you some food ? or..
- Oh no. No food , I can't eat anything right now. It's just.. my back is killing me right now, it's so uncomfortable ..
- I'll stop the car and give you a back rub...
- What ? no no , you need to drive ,
- Mercy .
- Sammy. Seriously. Drive . The sooner we get there, the better.
He sighed, and continues to drive. She grabbed his free hand and kissed it.
- But thanks baby. She said smiling at him
He has been so good to her lately. So caring of her and the baby... Mercedes felt unbelievably lucky . A few hours later, they arrived at the Evans Household. Mercedes recognized her parent's car. Sam took Mercedes's hand and rang the bell. Mrs. Evans greeted them, with a huge smile.
- Finally! It's so good to see you guys! She said taking both Mercedes and Sam tightly .
- Mom.. we're suffocating..
- Oh sorry! she said, releasing them, laughing. I'm just so happy to see you! It's been too long. Come in!
They entered, Mr. Evans and the Jones greeted them too, and soon they were sitting at the table, ready to eat. Mrs. Evans arrived with the Turkey, which had good reactions from everyone.
- Wow, it looks great Mom! Said Sam, already taking his fork.
- Thank you honey, but Mary helped a lot she said, looking at Mercedes's Mom, who smiled.
- Oh I didn't do anything Katherine, all the credit goes to you!
- Yeah yeah , can we eat now? Said Paul, Mercedes's father, impatient.
Everyone laughed and they began to eat, and just talking about anything.
- So, how have you been Mercedes? Asked Katherine, eating the dessert.
- Well, good, very good. I'm working hard on my album and..
- Oh talking about it, don't you have a Tour coming up sweetie? asked Mary.
Mercedes and Sam looked at each other.
- Yeah, about that... said Mercedes , hesitant.
Everyone looked at the two of them, confused.
- What? asked John, Sam's father
Sam took her hand and squeeze it, it was time to announce the big news.
- Hmm, can we move to the living room? We have something to tell you. Said Sam.
The Jones and the Evans looked at each other, a little concerned. They nodded and went sat on the couch in the living room. Mercedes and Sam stood in front of them, their hand entwined.
- So, what's the matter? Asked Paul, worried. You're scaring us here.
- No need to worry dad, it's not something bad. Said Mercedes , smiling.
- Tell us then! Said Katherine, she couldn't wait anymore.
Sam looked at her wife and took a deep breath.
- We're having a baby! The couple said together, excited.
In first, no one spoke , they were trying process the news , but 5 seconds after , they all were around Mercedes and Sam , Katherine and Mary took Mercedes and hugged her tightly , they were jumping and laughing excitedly. John and Paul hugged Sam , " That's my Boy!" shouted John, they all were super excited , and couldn't wait to be grandparents.
Next came the presents, John offered a scarf to his wife , Mary gave an expensive shirt to her husband.. Sam gave her wife a little red box. She opened it and it was a beautiful necklace with the letter "M&S" in the center. Katherine and Mary were in awe. Mercedes so touched that she could barely talk, took it, and put it on her neck, with Sam's help. She thanked him and kissed him. Then it was her turn, she gave him the bag. She was a little stressed because Sam's present was amazing and really expensive; her gift was so little in comparison. He opened it and took the little shirt between his hands. Mercedes started rambling about how sorry she was, but he kissed her to stop her, and told her that he loved it. And he really did, he was really touched and he couldn't wait to see his little baby wearing it.
After that, they all talked about the baby again, excited as ever.
At the "New Direction" party the day after, their friends had the same reactions as their parents. They all were really happy for them, Kurt (even if he already knew), Tina and Quinn (surprisingly) were the most excited. They offered their help to do the nursery, and they made Mercedes swear that they'll do a baby shopping soon. Everyone was there for them, and the couple never felt so loved.
The months passed, and Mercedes was now 4 months pregnant. She announces the news publicly to her fans and to the media. Her fans were really happy, so they forgot about the Tour. But she had to stop working, and it was driving her crazy. Kurt was coming practically every day, to keep her sane, and to help her working on the nursery. They bought the crib, but they couldn't buy the curtains or start the painting since they didn't know the gender of the baby. Mercedes have an appointment in a couple of days, and Sam and her will be able to know the gender. She was so excited! And Sam too.. She guessed. Well, she didn't really know about that, since Sam wasn't talking to her anymore. He has been distant lately; he spent all his days and nights at work, with his new coworker Lisa Harris, a new girl. She has been cast for his film, and they had a lot of scenes together, since he was the main character.
Mercedes saw her once. One day she decided to surprise Sam with a lunch she prepared herself. She came at Paramount Studio, and went in his private room, but he wasn't alone. A tall blond girl in heels with green eyes and a perfect body was standing next to him, they were laughing, reading a script. He turned and saw her wife, standing at the door, with a big bag. He looked at her, confused.
- Baby? What are you doing here?
- Well, I see that you're happy to see me. Mercedes said, hurt.
"Calm down "she said to herself. Her hormones was driving her crazy lately, she was so weak and overly sensitive. He stood up and hugged her.
- No, sorry. It's just that I didn't except you today. This is Lisa, my new coworker. Lisa, this is my wife, Mercedes.
Lisa smiled.
- Hi, pleasure to meet you Mercedes.
Mercedes looked at her; she was wearing a very short blue dress, with black heels. Mercedes didn't know why, but she felt so uncomfortable.
- Yeah... Likewise. She replied, dryly.
- We were just working on some scene that we need to do together explained Sam
- Yeah, and Sam couldn't stop making jokes said Laura , laughing.
Mercedes didn't like the way she was looking at her husband. at all.
-I was not he said , playing with her. Anyway, you… came for something? He asked Mercedes. Cause we need to repeat…
- Oh , uh.. no, I just came to see you. Lied Mercedes, hiding the bag.
He looked at her questioningly.
- You sure? Everything's okay with the baby? He asked suddenly worried.
- Oh you're pregnant?! Exclaimed Laura
Mercedes rolled her eyes. Wasn't it obvious? Her belly was visible now.
- Yeah, as you can see. She said , showing her belly.
- Yeah, well, I thought you were.. you know, just .. Overweight or something.
Mercedes eyes widened, did she just said that she was obese? She looked at Sam : he didn't seem to bother!
- Anyway, said Laura quickly, Congratulations! I'm happy for you!
- Thank you said Sam smiling.
- Well , I'm going now. See you at home. Mercedes said. She had enough.
She walk out the door , without kissing goodbye her husband. He watched her leaving. He sighed.
- Did I do something wrong? Asked Laura
- No , no don't worry . She's just tired. And with the hormones..
- Yeah I understand.
- Anyway, where were we?
That was the first time she met her. And that day, when she came home, Mercedes cried in Kurt's arms, really hurt by Laura's comment, and by the fact that Sam didn't defend her. But she let it go eventually.
Now, Sam was avoiding her to spend all of his time at work, which means with her. Mercedes needed to do something; she needed them to be okay. So, that's why, Friday night, she organized a romantic night for them. She'll cook them a delicious meat, and then they'll do a Star Wars movie marathon (Sam's favorite movie of all time.) , cuddling on the couch.
At 7:00 pm the table was set with candles and flowers, and she finished cooking. She was super exhausted; it was hard to cook being pregnant. She dressed nicely, with a red dress, she let her hair curly, and put some eye liner (and of course she was wearing Sam's necklace, she wear it EVERYDAY). She heard the door cracking and smiled. She went to the front door , and her smiled fainted when she saw that Sam was not alone.
- Baby I'm home! I'm with Lisa, we need to rehearse on.. wow.
When he saw her, he was agreeably surprised because she was just gorgeous, but also confused when he looked at the place, full of candles and flowers. Lisa was awkwardly standing behind him, looking at Mercedes. Mercedes sighed. Really? It was unbelievable! She was just everywhere!
- Lisa? Said Mercedes, with disappointment in her voice.
- Hi Mercedes.
- What are you doing here? she said , the most gently possible.
- We need to rehearse our scene together. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, but we decided this like, 5min ago. Answered Sam.
- But it's okay, we could rehearse another day if you two have plans... Lisa began to say
- No, no it's cool. We don't have anything tonight, right? He asks Mercedes.
Mercedes was so angry and disappointed, that she wanted to cry. She shook her head.
- No , nothing.
- Let's work then! Sam said , heading to the living room with Lisa following him. Why do we have candles and flowers everywhere?
Lisa laughed and they began to work. Mercedes went to the kitchen and blew the candles out. She took the flowers and threw them in the bean. She sat and sighed. She texted Kurt.
To Kurt, 19:07 : She's here, AGAIN! I planned everything Kurt! And she ruined it again!
To Mercedes, 19:09: What? No way! She's like Sam's puppy! Aww my boo .. it's okay, stay calm she's not going to spend the night anyway. When she's out , you talk to Sam!
She sighed. Kurt was right. It was practically 8pm, she was going to go soon.
- Hmm , it's smells nice here , said Sam entering in the kitchen. What is it?
- Pasta Bolognese, your favorite.
- God I love you! He said excited, she rolled her eyes . Can you add a plate? Lisa is staying for dinner, we don't know when we'll be finish, so...
Mercedes close her eyes , breathing slowly. "Stay calm Mercy, think of the baby". She said to herself.
- Yeah, sure. She said, standing up.
- Thank you love. You're the best.
He kissed her cheek and went back in the living room. Mercedes added a plate, and then went to the living room to call them for dinner. They were laughing together, reading a line, and Lisa was rubbing his back. Sam didn't even tell her to stop; he just looked at her... The way he look at Mercedes only. With admiration, and.. fascination. Mercedes closed her eyes , she didn't , she couldn't see it anymore. Maybe she was crazy and imagining everything, but still, it was too hard to see. She fought back tears and cleared her throat.
- Dinner's ready.
They eat in silence, awkward silence. Then Sam and Lisa return to work, and Mercedes went in her and Sam's room. She was so tired that she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was 9am. She turned, and saw that the other side of the bed was empty. Sam didn't come to bed. She stood up and went to the living room. And what she saw shocked her. Sam was lying in the couch, and Lisa was sleeping on him , her head rested on his chest. Like a damn couple. It was so uncomfortable and heartbreaking for Mercedes to see that, it was like she was interrupting something.
She patted Sam's arm, and he woke up.
- Whuzapening? He said, with his sleepy voice. (Then he saw his position with Lisa). Oh.( Aaand he saw the devastated looks on his wife's face.) Ohhh. Mercy..
Lisa woke up at that moment and looked around her . She saw her position and blushed. She didn't stood up, and had a smile on her face. Sam pushed her gently. She sat and smiled at him.
- Looks like we fall asleep huh she said, laughing .
- Yeah.. Sam said , looking at his wife, trying to read her.
- Well, I got to go. I see you Monday! And .. thanks Mercedes for the dinner and everything. Bye!
They didn't answer; they just stood there staring at each other. The door closed. Sam finally stoop up and come to her, but she stepped back.
- Mercy…
- Don't. Talk. to me. She said , tears in her eyes, before running in the bathroom to cry.
Aww poor Mercy .. Everything will be alright again, I swear! ;)
Hope you liked it!
Reviews are LOVED ! :D
