Chapter 10: Siblings by Yinx
Sam woke a few days later to is wife snuggled close in his arms. He smiled as he kissed her gently watching her stir and wake up
"Sam what are you doing"?
"Kissing my beauty wake" he grinned.
"So sweet" she smiled sleepily moving out of his arms. Sam pulled her back. "Sam I need to check on Micah".
Sam grabbed her at her nap bring her lips down to his. "He's fine Yawne, I don't hear him". She giggled as she kissed him back. Sam moved on top of her coaxing her mouth open with his tongue both moaning with pleasure as their hands roamed over each other's bodies. He backed out of the kiss suddenly
"What's wrong" Mercedes asked slightly confused.
"Nothing" he stroke her cheek. "Sometimes I just can't believe we found each other again" his fingers wander to her lips.
Mercedes smiled and cupped his face "When it's meant to be, it will happen Sam". She pecked his lips "And we have two beautiful children to show for it".
"I did do a pretty good job" Sam smirked glancing over at Micah basinet.
"You really do think you helped" she teased looking up at him
Sam looked down at her raising an eyebrow "I did too help and I didn't hear any complaints from you only 'Oh god, Oh god' and some 'Fuck me' and maybe a scream or many" he mimicked her with a lopsided grin on his face.
Mercedes felt heat creep into her cheeks as she looked into her husband's eyes. "What can I say my husband knows what he working with and how to work it".
Sam nuzzled his face with hers his cheeks glowing red. "Stop it Woman"
"Maybe he can show me how to work it and get started on baby three"? She asked softly.
"Love making will have to wait a couple more weeks, and no baby making not until that one can walk, Cede" Sam chuckled nodding his head towards Micah.
"Deal" Mercedes said bringing his lips back to hers as a knock came on their door.
Sam cursed under breath "Who is it"?
"Daddy it's me" Simeon yelled through the door
Sam smiled down at his wife "You sure you want more"?
"Yup, big family, remember" Mercedes laughed as Sam let her sit up "Come in Lil' Bit".
Sam fell back defeated and was tackled by a curly headed four year old with Avatar pajamas "Why are you so excited Bit"? He held Simeon above him superman style
"Daddy, it's my birthday" Simeon smiled down at his father
"Really must have slipped my mind Happy Birthday, Simeon" Sam sat up smiling giving his son a hug "No wonder you're an early bird today".
"Cause he catches the worm Papa taught me that"
"Happy B-day, Lil Bit" Mercedes smiled kissing his cheek before she got up and checked on Micah. She picked him up and got back in bed. "Micah's awake, Simeon I bet he wishes you a Happy Birthday too. You want to say thank you"? Mercedes asked sitting Micah up to face his family.
"No" Simeon said avoiding the baby as he moved to sit on the other side of his father.
"That was rude, Simeon" his father scolded gently "Why don't you want to say thank you" Sam looked down at him.
"I hate him" their son said nonchalantly as he played with the edge of the comforter laying back against Sam He looked much like his father when things didn't go his way.
"Simeon, no we don't use that word" Mercedes said sternly
Simeon shoulders sagged at his mother's disapproval "I don't like him" he glared at the baby.
"Why not" Sam asked as Simeon shrugged his shoulders.
"We can't fix it if you don't tell us, Lil' Bit" Mercedes said gently, glancing worried at Sam.
"I don't know"
Sam picked his son up and put him on his lap "Simeon you want to tell us why you don't like your brother" he asked making his son look at him.
Simeon sighed big like it was an effort to talk "He made mommy sick why we had to stay in the hospital"
"Simeon I wasn't sick" Mercedes smiled gently. She shifted Micah so her eldest could sit in her lap as well. Simeon crawled to her lap as she gave Micah to Sam.
Simeon wrapped his arms around her "Grandmother said you were dying then she read me 'The Fall of Freddie the Leaf'". He mumbled into her chest.
Mercedes looked at Sam who gave her a slight smile. "I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, Baby Boy. I'll be around for a long time" she whispered pulling him closer and stroking his curls.
"I'll make sure mommy sticks around, Simeon" Sam said
Simeon lifted his head and looked at him "You promise"
"Scouts honor" Sam held up the salute. Simeon wiped his nose on the back of his hand. "Oh sure, don't wipe your nose on your mother but me I'm a human tissue". Mercedes kicked him laughing as Simeon looked at both of them confused. Micah cooed and they all smelt it. "Ugh, now I get shit on too" Sam said holding Micah at arms' length. He looked at Mercedes.
She hopped out of bed "Make a run for it, Bit" she cried smiling hold out her hand at Simeon who took it both running for the door laughing.
"COWARDS"! Sam yelled after them.
"What are we going to do about Lil Bit, Sam" Mercedes asked.
The small family sat in their family room. Simeon sat on the floor playing with his new toys Micah was in a bouncer trying to decide if his fist or his rattle was more interesting. Their parents sat on the couch Mercedes sketching her fall designs her legs draped over her husband's lap.
Sam glanced down at his sons from watching his classic football game. "What do you mean Yawne"?
"I mean how are we going to get Simeon to like his brother" she looked at him worried.
Sam smiled "There's nothing we can do, Babe".
"But he's not happy" she looked at her eldest.
"He looks happy to me" Sam chuckled as Simeon crashed cars on his new Hot Wheels playset.
"Sam it's not funny"
"Cede trust me it's just a faze. I didn't like Stevie when he was born and I was way older than Bit".
"I don't think "
"If it isn't a faze all the more reason to enroll him in school"
"No, no, I definitely didn't say that" Mercedes crossed her arms "I'm doing just fine homeschooling him".
"Yes you are, but one of the reasons he doesn't know how to act around kids is because of that" Sam said gently.
Mercedes looked sadly at Simeon "But he will miss me."
Sam unfolded her arms taking her hands he pulled her up so he could kiss her "Meaning you are going to miss him."
"Same difference" she said miserably.
Sam stroked her cheek "Maybe at first but he will love school otherwise where will he meet his best friends and his soul mate".
"Your right" she sighed still looking at her son.
"Wow I don't hear that often" Sam laughed kissing her cheek.
"Don't get too use to it, Mister" she smiled going back to her sketches.
"Hi and welcome to Morning Star Academy my name is Ms. Gloria Martinez Headmistress here. You must be the Evans". The 4'9 woman shook their hands beaming between them all.
A few weeks after his birthday; Simeon parents, with a still reluctant Mercedes, decided to enroll him in school.
"Yes, I'm Mercedes my husband Samuel and our sons Simeon and Micah". Mercedes introduced her family.
"Nice to meet you all" she smiled ushering them into her office. "So welcome to our academy and Simeon is the child you want to enroll here" she looked between the four year old and three month old.
"You have a nursery" Sam asked glancing down at Micah who was strapped to his chest in a baby carry.
"Yes, we start at six weeks".
Sam looked at his wife. "Don't even" she glared back.
Ms. Martinez chuckled, "No worries we are here to talk about Simeon. He will have to be tested to see where he is at. We test today and you will know by the end of the day if he is accepted or not".
A few hours later Ms. Martinez rushed into the waiting room. "Um we will be accepting him" she beamed.
"I thought we wouldn't know until later" Sam asked confused.
"Yes well you have an exceptional child. He can speak Italian and Spanish fluently, he knows math up to the second grade. His English skills are easily third grade material and let me not start on social and problem solving, which I've seen fourth grades struggle with" Ms. Martinez almost squeal with excitement.
Sam and Mercedes looked at each other "Wait. You're serious"? Mercedes asked.
"Yes the best I've seen in years. The only thing he needs is reading skills.
But still he's reading on a first grade level but which is still amazing".
"You can credit my wife" Sam said putting his arm around Mercedes. "She's been homeschooling him".
"Well I must say you did wonderful job" Ms. Martinez smile. "We loved to have Simeon at our school".
"Woman wake up" Sam shook his wife as she laid asleep with Simeon in his room that night.
"What" she asked sleepily opening her eyes.
Sam smiled down at her "You need to go to bed".
"I am in bed" she stifled a yawn.
"My bed, Woman, you know that"
"Can't I say here" she asked feeling Simeon snuggle closer to her. She had fallen asleep reading him a bedtime story.
"No" he whispered. Sam gently rolled his son off his mother and picking her up putting her over his shoulder. He closed the door quietly behind them.
"Sam, you're not sharing maybe you need to go back to school too" Mercedes said enjoying the view of her husband's backside.
He walked down the stairs "I don't share my wife that sounds nasty"
"I didn't mean it that way and you know it" she reached down a pinched his butt.
"Well I don't" Sam slipped his hand into her panties and pinched her clit in response. "Stop squirming Woman or I'm going to drop you on your head".
"I...I would if you stopped p…pinching me" she gasped
""Where"? He smiled locking the door to their room.
"You know where, Samwise"
Sam set her down on their bed. "No I don't know, Cede. Tell me where did I pinch you" he grinned mischievously moving in between her legs and raising over her brushing his lips across her forehead.
"Yes you do" she said defiantly back.
Sam chuckled, "I like guessing games". He unbuttoned her shirt kissing her gently "Was it here" he asked pinching one of her nipples gently
"No" she gasped
He pinched the other the same "Here"?
"No" she whimpered
Sam rose up gently coaxing her onto her back. "I think I know where" he mumbled his lips wandering to the breasts. His hand slipped back into her panties "It's here" he smiled pinching her again Mercedes moaned her hand entered through his boxer opening and began stroking him "I'll take that as a yes" he gazed down at her slipping his two fingers inside her.
A knock came to the door. Sam swore loudly "Who the fuck is it"?
"Daddy, it's me" Simeon yelled
"What do you want"?
"Be nice" Mercedes warned in a whisper.
"I want mommy"
"Wait. Why the hell…"
"Sam" Mercedes said softly "Yes Simeon what is it"?
"I want you to come sleep in my bed with me" their son still yelling through the door.
"No" Sam yelled towards the door "she cannot"
"Can I sleep with you"?
"No, you cannot" Sam yelled again. Mercedes removed Sam's hand and buttoned up her shirt. "Cede, no" Sam whined
"It's just for one night" she said
Sam swore as he got out of bed and unlocked the door "Come on in you little c-blocker" he said bitterly watching his child run into the room and up on the bed.
"He gets his rudeness from his father" Mercedes hissed hugging her son. Sam stuck his tongue out and grabbed a pair of her underwear. "What are you doing" Mercedes asked pointing to her garments raising an eyebrow.
"I can't have to real thing and you left me hard as a rock got to go knock one out" he said matter of factly.
"With my underwear" she laughed
He winked as he left the room "What else am I supposed to use, Cede".
