Chapter 9: Change of Plans by Yinx
It was a six in a half weeks before the exhausted family left the hospital. The Chang's flew back to Lima a day after the couples' parents arrived; the Pierce-Lopez flew home a couple days after. The drive home was slow with the grandparents driving and Sam not wanting to leave Mercedes side. A couple days after they arrived home then the couple was at the doctors Gilberts. Both set of parents stayed home with Simeon.
"You are a very lucky lady" Dr. Gilbert smiled "things could have been worse".
"What went wrong" Sam asked watching Mercedes rock Micah
"You had a case of Placenta Previa due to the fact of heavy lifting, with you was a severe case and your baby had to be delivered early." Sam and Mercedes looked at each other. "What I recommend now is rest for you and Micah a good three weeks, worth."
"Is there anything else we can do" Sam asked.
"Not right now, but if you get pregnant again you will need to be on mandatory bed rest from five month period on just to be on the safe side"
"Sam, stop it" Mercedes sighed as she slept on the over-sized chair in their bedroom sitting area late that night. She was still in some pain from the surgery and laying in a bed wasn't helping so she and Sam slept on the chair.
"Stop what"?
Mercedes opened her eyes to see him sitting on the arm looking down at her holding Micah. "You are starring, I can't sleep like that".
Sam sighed as he got up and put Micah in the basinet. He came back kneeling beside her "Can't stop thinking about what happened and w...what could have happened".
"Baby, I'm right here" Mercedes smiled stroking his face. She moved back into chair and held up the blanket Sam moved to lay underneath it as Mercedes wrapped her arms around him. "I'm not going anywhere but if you keep starring I just might" she joked looking up at him.
Sam shook his head as he pulled her close "That's not funny, Mercedes" he whispered slightly angry
"Sam"
"I'm sorry but don't ever joke about that especially after what just happened".
"Sam nothi…" she began
"Seriously Mercedes really are you bullshitting that you almost died" his eyes flashed red.
"But I didn't" she whispered.
Sam moved off of the couch "Mercedes you will not tone down what happened to your joke of the day shit" he said fiercely as he walked over a got the comforter and pillows from their bed. Sam spread the comforter over her then got back to his position. "I almost los…"
"Don't you think I don't know that, Sam" she glared at him. "Have you ever once thought how it makes me feel about me al...almost..."
"Dying" he whispered sheepishly
Mercedes sucked in air deeply "Yes…yes I know what happened I was there but I won't have woulda, shoulda, coulda's of the world run my life. I won't live in fear Sam you taught me that".
Sam placed his forehead against hers "I'm sorry I didn't even think about that".
Mercedes closed her eyes "It's okay" she sighed "I need you to be strong for me, Sam". She opened her eyes as she gazed into his. "I'm going to lose it if you don't" she snuggled closer placing herself in her favorite spot against him. "I need normalcy from you because I won't be getting it from our parents and friends. For now I want to move past it and think of our children and my future with you" she whispered to his chest feel him wrap his arms around her. "If you'll be strong enough for me I promise to be strong enough for you".
Sam kissed the top of her head as he rubbed her back gently he was silent for a while thinking on her words "Woman, is this ribs I'm feeling" he asked gently poking her back "What the hell happened to my jelly"?
Mercedes laughed as she looked up at him. "Thank you. Sam" she smiled.
"Always, Yawne, always" he smiled back then kissed her.
"I promise it will be back" she grinned
Sam smiled back "It had better, Cede I can't fill my hands with skin and bones".
I'll take that" Mrs. Evans said as she took a small basket of baby clothes.
"I need to do the laundry though…" Mercedes started.
"Melinda has that covered, Baby Girl" Mrs. Jones smiled as she led her daughter to the family room. "You need to sit down and rest".
"I've been resting for over a month mom, I'm fine right now what I need is things to go back to normal" she sighed pulling her hand away and heading for the kitchen.
Mrs. Jones grabbed her daughter's shoulders and steered her back to the couch besides Sam "Sure baby I agree let's sit and I can get you something to eat"
Mercedes looked at Sam pleading with him.
"Mercedes can get her own food she has two feet and two hands" he said to Mrs. Jones.
That statement earned him four smacks up side his head and an earful on sensitivity.
"That could have gone better" Mercedes sighed as she sat on the couch in their bedroom breastfeeding Micah after lunch.
"I think I'm getting a bruise" Sam said from the bathroom as he checked his head. "How the hell can they all hit you in the exact same spot"? He heard his wife giggle as he walked out "Seriously I'm a grown ass man I shouldn't get spanking especially in my own house" he sat down beside her. He turned on the TV and put it on mute as he flipped through the channels trying to ignore the throbbing pain on his head.
"Do you want me to kiss it to make it better" Mercedes smiled stroking his head
"Yes please" he leaned his head towards her.
Mercedes laughed placing a kiss on his redden temple. "Better"?
"Much better, thank you, Yawne" he pecked her lips.
"You could have said it nicer" she smiled at him.
Sam raised an eyebrow as he found a classic football game. "Maybe but I think anyway I had said it I would still have gotten hit".
Mercedes chuckled as she gave Micah to Sam where he burped him while she fastened her bra. "Santana wants me at the store tomorrow" Mercedes said watching Sam make faces at Micah trying to get the baby to smile.
Sam looked at her "Mercedes, no you're still"
"Sam you promised normalcy" she sighed
"I know I did but it's too soon for all that you're not going til Gilbert gives the okay" he said
"We aren't having this argument again Sam" she rolled her eyes "it's been long time since I've seen the store plus I need to get out of the house."
"I'll take you then" he sighed sitting back and laying Micah on his shoulder. "If you need to get out we can make a day of it if you want".
"Yes, I'd like that" Mercedes smiled and kissed him.
"Good" he grinned against her lips as Mercedes got a text message.
I'm here open the door. Mercedes squealed as she left "Kurt's here" she called back to her bewildered husband.
The best friends embraced each other for a long time. "Mercedes, okay we need manny/petties right away" Kurt smiled at his friend. "Cause girl you look tore up from the floor up"
"Thank you Kurt" Mercedes laughed kissing his cheek.
"I think she has never looked more beautiful, Nice to see you Kurt" Sam said smiling still hold Micah coming to the door.
"She still needs some work" Kurt teased with Mercedes playfully swatting him. "Oh my goodness" Micah's gncle sighed as he took him from Sam. "He is absolutely precious. Good job Sam"
"I kind of helped too" Mercedes chuckled.
"Yeah but not as much" her friend smiled.
Mercedes rolled her eyes smiling big. She could always count on Kurt to give her what she wanted normalcy.
"Yawne, wake up" Sam whispered in her ear early the next morning.
"What's wrong"
"We need to get going Babe got things to do" he playfully swatted her butt before getting off the chair
Mercedes buried her face in her pillow "I'm not going to Disney World again, Sam" she mumbled
Sam laughed as he pulled on some sweatpants and a shirt. He went over and checked on Micah who was awake looking up at his mobile. "Morning Beckham, is there a surprise in your diaper for me" he checked and found him dry.
"Beckham like David" Mercedes asked sitting up looking at him.
"He's a kicker" he smiled at her "Thought it was a good fit"
"So true" she sighed getting off the chair and walking over "Where are we going Samuel so early" she crossed her arms looking at Micah, chewing on his hands.
Sam wrapped his arms around her bringing her attention back to him. "I want to take you out on a date an all day one".
"That's really sweet but does it have to start at six in the morning"? she stifled a yawn.
"Yes because I want to show you something" Sam smiled taking her hand he grabbed a throw blanket and the baby monitor.
He walked her outside to their covered sealed patio. Sam sat on the lounge and motioned for her to sit between his legs. He placed baby monitor on the side table and covered them up with the blanket. Mercedes smiled as she cuddled close to him laying her head on his chest.
"I want to watch the sunrise while making out with my wife" he whispered linking their fingers together. Mercedes rose up and kissed him. "Not yet Cede" Sam smiled breaking the kiss
Mercedes pouted "Then what are we going to do"
"I can talk about the ABC of my wife" he grinned
"The ABC"?
"A is for ass" he wiggled his eyebrows as his hands wandered to the subject squeezing it "B is for brains or boobs I can't decide"
Mercedes shoved him playfully "It better be brains, mister" she laughed.
Sam winked "C is for cumming 'cause I know you don't fake it the way you scream" he brushed his lips against hers as the sky turned a hazy pink. "D is for damn my woman is fine, E is for electricity cause we still have a spark. F is for Forever…"
"Hey what are you two doing" Kurt asked poking his head through the open door.
"Err watching the sunrise" Sam said nudging his head toward the door hoping he would get the hint.
Kurt came out and grabbed Mercedes hand and started to pull her out of her husband's embrace. Sam grabbed her other hand. "Kurt, go"
"Come on Evans I need my best friend. I have a full day plan for us" Kurt pulled her too her feet.
"So do I" Sam said standing.
"Sam let me go with Kurt I promise I'll make up to you" she smiled kissing him.
"Sam" Skye said "it has been to long" she hugged him
Sam squeezed her "It's has been a while"
"Uh yeah had to hear you had your baby from Santana".
"Yeah sorry there was complication" Sam sighed leading her into her into the family room to sit.
"Santana told me how's Mercedes"?
"She doing well holding up better than I am" he gave a small smile.
Skye patted his knee "How are you"
"Good ready for training camp to start"
"I heard Romo out"
"Yeah he was cool people, but well I'm the starter"
"That is totally awesome Sam I'm so proud…proud enough for season passes"?
"Sure"
"Where's Micah"? Sam got up and took Micah from the basinet where he was sleeping and placed him in her arms "Oh my he's adorable he's like the perfect mix of both of you".
"Thanks" he smiled.
Skye rocked "Any plans for one more Mercedes said she wanted three or four"
"No I'm done" Sam shook his head
Skye looked up from making faces at Micah "What Sam why"
"I almost lost her this time and last time I almost lost Simeon. So no more kids" he starred at his son.
"Have you told Mercedes"?
"No".
"What she going to think when you slap a condemn on"
Sam shrugged "All I know is that I don't want to go through it again".
