Growing up

Somewhere in Illinois…

"So baby do I take a left or right?" Mercedes asked her tummy. One sign said east the other west. "I guess there's no looking back." She said stepping slowly on the gas to keep heading west to California.

Before leaving Lima she had stopped to take the money out of the bank. She figured she had plenty to get to California, and then quite a bit left over to save for the essentials. Diapers, bottles, a crib, baby powder, etc. Going over the list in her head she felt overwhelmed by everything she had to do.

"This is going to be tough." She said while keeping on the road and blasting her Jayz and Beyoncé on the stereo.

Back in Lima…

Mrs. Evans had to park on the side of the road for 6 cars blocked the rest of the driveway.

Sam's eyes were wide at the sight of 4 Police cars, Mr. and Mrs. Jones black escalade, and Kurt's slug bug. But Mercedes silver car was not in the bunch. Before his mom could even stop He was out of the car running to the house.

He banged on the door, and not even a second went by before Mrs. Jones answered "MER- Sam? What are you doing here?" She asked hugging him tightly.

"Where's Mercedes? I need to see her." His eyes were filled with tears once again, and it was very apparent to Mrs. Jones that he had been crying even before he got here.

Mrs. Jones took one look inside the filled room, where 5 police officers stood talking to Rachel, Finn, Santana, Kurt, and one poor police officer stuck talking to Brittany. But Mrs. Jones pulled Sam outside the house with her and closed the door behind them.

"What happed? My husband and I got home yesterday and Mercedes was gone. They think she ran away but I just can't see my baby girl doing that." Her eyes were as wet as Sam's. Lillian finally found a parking spot and was now standing next to her son.

"Sam, you have to tell her." His mother coaxed him.

"Tell me what?" Her eyes looked hopeful.

"I'm so sorry Mama Jones, I didn't mean to ruin her life." He cried pleading in his eyes, before his knees gave out and he fell to the ground on his knees. Mrs. Jones knew Mercedes had been acting weird the past couple of days. Staying to her room, not taking Kurt's phone calls. But surly her baby girl couldn't be… "Pregnant?" She asked more to herself then to anyone else.

She couldn't believe it, Her baby was going to have a baby, in her short 17 years on the planet. "Sam?" She asked getting to his eye level on the ground. "Is Mercedes pregnant?" She almost couldn't get the words out.

With Sam's apologetic look, she knew. Instead of being mad at him, like he had thought she would be, she just wrapped him in a hug. The two cried together, and Mrs. Evans looked on sadly.

"Sam I need you to do me a favor."

"Anything." He said whipping his eyes.

"I need you to find her. You know her better than any of these cops. Mr. Jones and I can't leave Michael, and Olivia here alone so I need you, ok?" She had to admit she was a little relieved that her daughter hadn't been kidnaped, and she knew Sam would do any, and everything in his power to find her.

"I will, Ma'am."

"I'm coming with you." Lillian said.

"No mom. I have to find her on my own. I have to. I have to find her, and her and I have to make this all right. Ok?" He said standing and taking his mother's hands. "I promise I will call you WHEN I find her."

Lillian was already surprised on how grown up her teenage son looked, compared to last night. She knew it would be tough but she knew he would find her.

"Do the cops have any leads?" He asked turning to Mercedes's Mom.

"They know she is headed to California. She left her nook, with the directions to her cousin Tish's house. But the cops cann't do anything for another 6 hours. Till they can report a missing person's case. I feel she could change her mind by then. Here's the directions. Lillian you can stay with us while Sam goes if you need to." Mrs. Jones was filled with new hope, as she gazed at a determined Sam.

"Thank you. I have to call my husband to. He was just like us before we left." She turned to Sam "You bring her and my grandchild back ok? I love you." She once again pulled him down to kiss the top of his head.

"I will Ma'am." And just like that Sam ran back to the beat up green car, buckled up, and put the directions on the seat next to him. But before he pulled away he felt the small box that was in his pocket. Before his Grandma passed she had given Sam her wedding ring, and told him someday to give it to the most special woman in his life. And only one name came up in his head.

Mercedes.
