Chapter 11: How Many? by Yinx
"Cede, Babe...Mercedes let go".
Morning Star Academy was a year around school which meant Simeon's mother had to let him go sooner than she expected. The family stood just inside the door to the small classroom.
"Hello, I'm Mrs. Winterbourne you must be the Evans".
Sam stopped trying to pry open his wife's hand from around his sons to shake the woman's hand. "Yes hi" he smiled. "My wife Mercedes son Simeon and other son Micah" he pointed to the baby. "I'm Sam".
"Welcome to K-4, Simeon" Mrs. Winterbourne bent down smiling. "Do you want to see your desk"? Simeon nodded following his teacher and leading his mother over.
"Mercedes let go of his hand" Sam whispered firmly as he followed close behind. Mercedes let out a sad sigh and let her sons hand go as he sat at the desk. Simeon smiled up at his parents.
"Mommy, look at my name" Simeon pointed to his name tag on his desk.
"Yes it's very nice, baby" Mercedes choked back tears. Sam placed his arm around his wife and gave her strong squeeze.
"Well our parents should be leaving soon" Mrs. Winterbourne smiled at them before she went off to talk to other parents.
Mercedes sniffed as she knelt down beside her son "Okay Simeon if you want to come home at any time you just tell Mrs. White to call me and I'll come straight over".
"Okay Mommy" her son smiled at her and kissed her cheek.
"But you're a big boy now so you won't call will you" Sam asked.
"No, Daddy, I'm a big boy. Mommy, stop it" he whined as Mercedes kissed his cheeks and he wiped them off.
"Okay just one more, I promise" she smiled as she kissed him three more times before standing. "Be good".
"See you this afternoon, Bit" Sam smiled giving him a strong hug then took his wife's hand and led her out.
"One down" he smiled at her as they drove home "And one to go".
"Maybe I should stay with him for his first day, you know make sure he's adjusting well" she looked at him.
"He won't be able to adjust when your there".
"I miss him" she whispered she looked down at her phone where the lock screen was her family.
Sam took her hand and kissed it "I'll miss him too but he'll be fine".
Sam leaned against the door post of his wife office watching her draw life size patterns out on parchment paper. "Are you okay, Cede" he asked coming in and sitting on the couch behind her, he had just put Micah down for a nap.
Mercedes sighed as she sat back on her legs "No but I have to be, right" she glance back at him sadly
Sam put the baby monitor on the side table "It will get better" he gave her a smile taking her and sitting her on his lap. "You have another Roo in your pouch you can keep for a few years".
"Can he stay a year longer than, Bit" she asked sadly
Sam kissed her cheek "We'll see" he pulled her close. He took her hand and began declaring thumb war. He watched her smile as he snuggle her neck. "Lil Bit will be home sooner than you think, Cede".
"Okay" she gave him reassured smile as she pinned his thumb.
"Cheater" Sam chuckled kissing her.
"I'm not cheating" she backed out of the kiss
"Yes you are faking that pout" he chuckled as he intertwine their fingers. He moved her down on the sofa "It's cute and sexy at the same time" he moved on top of her.
"If I remember high school correctly you pouted more than I ever did" she grinned up at him.
"Cause you wouldn't give me your Cupcakes, Woman" Sam smiled pecking her lips.
"If I had we probably would have had Simeon a lot sooner" she giggled between his kisses.
"I would have married you a lot sooner too" he brushed his lips against hers.
"If our fathers didn't hunt you down first" she mumbled
"It would have been worth it" he smiled his lips moving to her neck and hand roamed to her breasts flicking the clasp open through her shirt.
"You know the good thing about Lil Bit not being here is that we can do this without being interrupt" she moaned feeling his hands roam over her thighs.
"Maybe we can finally christen our house My Woman".
"Really Sam, four years later, you're so silly" she laughed
"I'm serious Woman" Sam chuckled "A house is not a home without a good christening".
His hands moved under her shirt dress palming her bare breasts and Mercedes legs opened welcoming him between them. She moaned feeling his bugle grind against her. Mercedes pulled up her husband's shirt, he finished he taking it off, as she went for his belt buckle. She shoved his pants and boxers down taking his member and began stoking it. She smiled as she looked up at him his eyes closed as he let out a loud groan. Mercedes moved her panties aside guiding him inside her. Sam groaned as his flesh met hers then pulled out.
"Sam what's wrong" Mercedes gasped she looked up at him then down. Sam reached and grabbed a condom from his back pocket and began to unwrap it. "What's that" she pointed.
"A condom, where were you in sex-ed class" he chuckled sitting up.
Mercedes sat up as well and punched him "I know what it is, Smartass. I'm saying, what do you think you're doing with it"
Sam started to slip it on his hard member "I'm putting it on, Woman…well trying" he said struggling.
"One" Mercedes smiled taking the condom and trying to put it on herself "try buying your size, Mister… this" she tossed it back at him "is a regular and your more of a large…maybe extra-large"
Sam sat back wide eyed "They have sizes"?
"Two, since you didn't know about the sizes means you shouldn't be buying them anyway" she kissed his lips pulling him back down with her.
Sam felt her try to slip his member back inside her "No" he gasped pulling out.
"What"?
Sam closed his eyes as he spoke "Mercedes, we…I can't do this"
"You're very good at this, Sam" she kissed his chin making her way to his ear hearing him moan. Sam shook his head and moved off her again this time tucking his still hard manhood back in his boxers and pulling up his pants. Mercedes sat up confused "What's wrong, I thought we were christening the house"?
Sam laid his head back sighing loudly "Yawne, I can't get your pregnant"
"I'm on birth control" she moved closer to him wrapping her arms around his waist smiling at him
"Still, Babe, I can't risk it" he looked at her.
"Is this about me and…the hospital"? Sam nodded. "Baby, we talked about this though. We wanted three maybe four pairs of feet running around…" she smiled cupping his face.
"I don't want any more children" Sam blurted out.
Mercedes' hand dropped down to her lap and starred at him for a long time "Why not"?
"I can't and I refuse to lose you" he said reaching for her but she moved away still starring unblinking. "I'm sorry but I can't go around pretending that everything is all rainbows and bunny rabbits shitting skittles when it's not."
Mercedes closed her eyes then looked at the playpen they had set up for Simeon now it was for Micah use "But we always wanted three maybe four, since high school" she whispered.
Sam sucked in his breath as he flashed back to them cuddling in her teen beat bedroom discussing their future together. 'I want a big family cause I don't want my children to go through being alone all the time' she had told him. Sam blinked back tears and took a deep breath "I know and I'm sorry about breaking my promise but you come first, Mercedes always" he lightly touch her hand.
Mercedes moved away, adjusted her underwear and slipped back down on the floor and began working on her patterns again. "Um…I have a lot of work to do…I…I got to get these patterns in before my deadline" she mumbled.
"Mercedes we are still talking" Sam said gently but firmly watching her and her hands shake.
"I'm done talking right now" she whispered not turning around.
Sam sighed as he sat back and waited. He checked the time of twenty pass "Can we talk now"
"No"
He swore grabbing his shirt as he got her a left her room, hearing the door snap shutting behind him. Sam put his shirt back on while walking into their bedroom and checked on Micah. "You were such a terror in your mother's belly, now you're a sweet baby angel" he whispered picking up his wide awake son. "I bet you're hungry" he made a face and baby cooed. "Well mommy is mad at daddy at the moment and if I took you to her I may not see you 'til dinner…so let's go see if she left some bottles in the frig for you" he made his way to the kitchen.
Placing Micah in a bouncer on the counter as he prepped the baby's bottle "So… Micah can we have a conversation, man to baby"? Micah cooed smiling at his father. "Great" Sam grinned setting a pot on to boil "Beck, mommy is very angry at daddy" he pointed at himself "for saying he doesn't want any more children" he to the pot off and soaked a new bottle in it. "We have forever in a day talked about having three maybe four, which means you would have a little brother or sister when the time comes. But mommy and you were in the hospital for so long…" he sniffed "Anyways the point is I don't want to hurt mommy any more with her being pregnant. What do you think I should do"? Sam filled the bottle with milk and took his son into the family room.
"I know for damn sure I won't be getting any anytime soon" he tested the bottle then put it in Micah's mouth. He watched his son suck on the nipple then push it out with his tongue "Look now, I know it's not the real thing but trust me it's the same stuff comes out". He squirted a little milk on his fingers and let Micah taste it then replaced the bottle. "Okay back to my problems" Sam smiled as his son began to feed. "Like I said I won't be getting any well not 'til I get some condoms that fit. Did you know they came in different sizes… of course not you're the product of never having to get a box of them anyways" Sam sighed. "What we going to do about mommy, Beck"?
Sam woke an hour later from a nap on the couch. A sleeping Micah laid safe and secure on his father's chest. Sam got up and put Micah back in his basinet in their bedroom. His stomach growled and he went back into the kitchen. He noticed Mercedes still hadn't come out of her room making them both a plate with sandwiches and chips he made his way back to her door. Shifting the food laden tray he knocked "Mercedes I have lunch".
"No thank you I'm not very hungry" came her voice through the door.
"Mercedes, you need to eat"
"I'm not hungry, Sam; stop trying to make me talk to you"!
Sam set the tray down on the floor and pounded on the door. "Open the fuckin door, now" he yelled
"I told you, NO"!
Sam growled as he reach up on the door trim and grabbed the key he opened her door.
"You have a key" she looked at him in shock.
"Of course I do" he rolled his eyes marching towards her as she back against the far wall. "Woman, I want to talk to you, now" he said pinning her between him and the wall.
"Well I don't want to talk to you" she said defiantly
"That's fine you can listen" he growled again. Sam sucked in a big breath before he started "Mercedes I love you. It seems like every day I think I can't fall even deeper in love with you, I do" he touched her forehead with his
"I love you too, Samuel" she whispered.
A smiled crept across his face "No, you said you didn't want to talk to me" he thumbed her lips
"Shut up" Mercedes rolled her eyes
Sam chuckled at her small smile "I love you too much to put you through everything again" he wrapped his arms around her hold her tight against him.
"Every pregnancy is different, Sam" Mercedes whispered to his chest feeling him place his head on top of hers, he shook it. "We won't know unless we try"
"I don't want to try, Yawne. We can still make love, well once I get the proper condom. But I don't want to baby make any more." Mercedes was silent along time. "You understand, right"?
Mercedes nodded as she tried pushing out of his arms, "Let me go" she whispered.
Sam heart sank as he watched her return to her work. He stepped outside the room grabbed her plate, setting it on her desk running his hand through his hair. "I...I set your lunch on the desk, Yawne"
"Thanks"
He tried not to react to the coldness in her voice he never wanted to hear it again "Um I gave Micah a bottle and put him down for a nap"
Mercedes moved her finished patterns off the floor and put them in a bin "Thank you, Sam" she whispered.
There was the coldness again. "Funny thing was that when I gave him the bottle he spit it right out. He doesn't like artificial nipples" he laughed still starring at her.
"That is funny", Mercedes started through her fabric swatches as she sat at her design desk.
Sam almost preferred the silent treatment compared to this. He did smile seeing her take a chip from the plate "Mercedes say something"
"I've been talking to you; I doubt you want the silent treatment back"
Sam sighed sadly "I'm doing this for you"
"No, Sam you're not doing this for me" she looked at him for the first time in hours. Sam saw that her eyes were red and puffy and her nose was a slight pink. "You're doing this because of your own insecurities".
"You're being selfish" he spat watching tears come to her eyes again.
Mercedes crossed her arms across her chest "Maybe I am but it's my body that goes through nine months of…" she sniffed.
"You've never made it to nine months, Mercedes, that's what I'm telling you the odds are against you having babies"
"Why does this bother so much, Sam? Seeing that you broke your promise of how many children you really wanted. Or was it all a lie to get me to sleep with you"?
"I never lied to you. I still want more children…" he stepped closer to her; he closed his eyes wishing she would stop moving away from him, he hated this distance feeling he was getting from her right now.
Mercedes turned back to her samples looking but not seeing them "Our problem is what happened is still haunting you, Baby, and you're taking it out on me. It's not right or fair for you to it." She saw him through her lashes come over and lean against her desk beside her "I heard you talking to Micah about this, it means a lot but I think he's a little young for such adult conversations" she tried covering up her smile.
Sam looked at the baby monitor on the side table "Well my wife didn't want to talk to me, Harriet what was I supposed to do, spy" he asked.
Mercedes shrugged "I needed to cool down, Sam. You really disappointed me"
"I'm sorry I never want you to be disappointed in me, Mercedes." He placed his hand on top of hers linking their fingers. "I just think two is enough for us. We don't need to tempt fate in try…"
Mercedes looked up at him "Is this why you want a girl? Was this you're plan all along"? Sam looked down at his hands sucking on his cheeks. "We should go get Simeon, they get out early this week" she put down her samples and headed for the door Sam grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into his arms "I told you to let me go" she tried pushing away from him
"I'm sorry, but yes. If we had a girl I don't know if I had wanted more children." He felt her tense in his arms "I was all for having and giving you the big family you always wanted but after Simeon was born and we almost lost him…I went back to only want two children…and with you and Micah… so no more children."
"We need to pick Simeon up from school" she glared at him finally shoving him hard enough that he let her go. Mercedes turned on her heel and walked out of the room.
"It was great, Mommy" Simeon said helped getting in the back seat by an pickup attendant, he buckled himself into the booster. "I got homework too, like you gave me at home"!
Mercedes turned around in the passenger seat "That's great. Did you make any friends"?
Simeon brushed some of his curls out of his face "There's this girl that won't spot poking me and she pulls my hair"
"Maybe she likes you" Sam said looking at his son through the rearview mirror "It's that Evans charm, girls and woman can't resist us" he smiled at Mercedes who shook her head.
"What about school? Did you go to your different classes" Mercedes asked.
Due to Simeon's academic performance he was transferred to different classes for his skills. For math he attended the second grade class, for English he attended third grade class. His parents and the school thought this was the best solution so he would be around kids his own age and get the education he deserved.
"Ms. Oliver is my handler she takes me to my other classes and sits with me, too"
"That's great, Bit. What do you want for…" Sam asked as he pulled up into their driveway and saw Raul's car. "What is he doing here, Mercedes" he glared at her.
Mercedes watched Raul get out of his car "How the hell should I know, Samuel" she hissed getting out.
Sam parked the car and got Micah and Simeon out of the car and headed towards them.
"Samuel and babies" Raul nodded. "Good to see you again" he extended his hand.
"What are you doing here" Sam asked not taking his hand
Mercedes took Micah from him and grabbed Simeon hand "Let's go do your homework, Bit, while daddy shows everyone how tough he is" she glared at Sam before heading inside.
Sam transferred the glare to Raul as they followed. Mercedes got Simeon started on his homework and got a bottle for Micah before she joined the men in the family room.
"Well Ishq, I was talking to Isbel and she wants you to come and put together a sample collection for her" Raul smiled.
Mercedes eyes widen "Seriously, you're not joking are you"?
"I wouldn't joke about this" he placed a hand on her knee "What do you say"?
Sam cleared his throat as he sat next to his wife and removed Raul's hand "Who's Isbel"?
"She was my boss at Via della Spiga for my internship in Milan. She introduced me to Raul" she looked at him.
"Now Is needs an answer soon" Raul said.
"How long would it take" Mercedes asked
"A week; we would fly out on Friday…"
"Wait, no way. Fly out of the country for samples, Mercedes" Sam cried
"It's only a week, Sam" Mercedes looked at him.
Sam folded his arms "No, you're not going" he said firmly at his wife.
"Err… seems like I'm again the bearer of bad news" Raul said getting up.
Mercedes handed Micah and the bottle to Sam "I'm sorry, Raul. Can I give you and answer later" she asked getting up and walking him to the door.
"Of course Ishq" he smiled then left.
Mercedes closed the door and smacked her face in a brick wall as she turned around. "You're not going, Mercedes" Sam said quietly catching her before she fell.
"This is a great opportunity for me Sam" Mercedes looked up at him.
"You just had a baby"
Mercedes pushed herself out of his embrace "Almost five months ago" she hissed making her way back to the family room "I think it's great, I'll take Micah and Simeon can stay with you. You'll be starting training camp next week…"
"Stop pushing me away" he whispered pulling her back into the hall so Simeon and Micah wouldn't hear. "Just because I don't want to have any more children doesn't give you the right to treat me like this"
"Well you made that choice when you decide on your own not to have more. Since when we are making decision without talking to each other first, Samuel Evans; I think what I'm doing is very responsible, I'm including you into my decision and yet you have no say" she spat at him.
Sam let her go walked out of the house slamming the door behind him. Mercedes burst into tears as she went after him. She watched him drive off ignoring her calls for him to come back.
Sam sat in his car starring at the house. Mercedes was right as always, he thought, it wasn't fair they had decided that they were going to have a house full of children. It was what she always wanted and what he had he had agreed on. 'Will you give me three maybe four children, Mercedes'? 'Yes'. He had gone back on his promise after he told her never would.
He got out of the car shoving his hands in his jean pockets and lean against the car. She was right it was his own insecurities that she would leave him for Raul maybe Foile. He snorted "Not after she knocked his lights out" he smiled softy. Then what was wrong with him. 'You're afraid she'll die this time' his back of his mind said. Sam felt tears in his eyes; there were too many close calls for him to even want another child. He knew if she got pregnant again and something happened Mercedes would choose to save their baby first. Sam wiped his nose as he made his way into the dark house.
He opened the door to their bedroom and switch the light on to find Mercedes sitting on the sofa with her knees up to her chest "I didn't know if you would come back" she sniffed gazing at him; her eyes were red and puffy as ever.
"I'll always come back, Mercedes" Sam whispered.
Mercedes stumbling off the couch embraced him "I won't go on Friday and we can stay at two kids; just don't leave me like that again, Sam, please" she sobbed into his shirt.
Sam squeezed her hard as he started to cry as well "I hate fighting, Mercedes" he sniffed into her hair.
"So do I"
The couple held each other for the better part of twenty minutes before Sam pulled away slightly cupping her face with both hands. He gave her a small smile "Okay, we still need to duke it out, Cede otherwise this ugly cry moment is going to be in vain" he thumbed away her tears.
Mercedes nodded as he let go and stepped away from her. "No one's future is certain, Sam" she whispered to her hands "I know the real reason that you don't want any more children is because you're afraid I'll die" she glanced up a saw him nod. "My 'track record' isn't that good" she put up air quotes "And I can't promise anything like that won't happen again, but isn't the third time the charm"?
"I don't want to take that risk even if it is, Mercedes"
"Do you still find me attractive" she whispered not making eye contact wiping her cheeks. "I know I've lost some weight and.."
Sam cupped her chin and brushed his lips light across hers "Woman, if I could keep you in my bed for the rest of our lives, making love to you, I would. My goal is to make sure you're happy with me"
Mercedes stepped back "Yes, but today I haven't been" she sighed "I'm not saying I want a baby right now cause I just had one, but in the future I will want another child" she watched him walk over to the basinet. "Sam"?
"Where's Micah"?
"In his room, I didn't know if we would still be fighting or not"
"Can we compromise on one more" he shuddered starring at the empty crib.
"Yes."
Sam turned around "Will it make you happy"?
"Yes and you making love to me will" she smiled.
Sam shook his head "I don't have any condoms" he watched her shoulders sag as she turned towards to bathroom.
"Mercedes, I want to I really do, I just can't… you understand" he followed her.
Mercedes splashed water on her face "Yes, I do, you say one thing and do another. Is this is going to be my life now with you" she wiped her face with a towel.
Sam pinned her against him and the counter "Do you feel that" Sam growled pressing himself hard against the small of her back "Do you? I don't want to make love to you now because all this angst in the air between us. I won't have angry sex with you" he starred at her in the mirror.
"Here we go again. Always scared of what will, might, and probably won't happen" she sneered back at his reflection.
"You think I don't want to make love to you, you're wrong. I'll have to hold back to make sure I don't bang you like a drum" he hissed turning her around to face him.
"Maybe if you did bang me you'd see I would be able to take it" she said back. "I'm stronger than I look, Sam"
Sam stepped back let her go "You wouldn't be able to take me, Woman trust me".
"Never know til you try" she began taking off her dress
Sam took off his shirt and began to unbuckle his belt "Fine, let's go at it then"
"Fine" Mercedes unsnapped her bra and took it off.
"Good" he pull down his pants and boxers
Mercedes trembled slightly as she stepped out of her panties "Good" she whispered feeling his arms around her and his lips find hers.
She whimpered feeling his fingers enter her and begin to pump her hard "You still want me to bang you, Cede" Sam groaned against her lips. Her essence began to spill into his hand.
Mercedes knees began to turn into jelly. Her hands moved to his manhood stroking it fast her eyes met his "I'll tell you if you bang or if it's just a light tap"
Her husband picked her up walked back into their bedroom; laying her down on the bed Sam moved on top of her, he entered her seconds later reminding himself to pull out at his release. His head went foggy feeling his wife around him for the first time since Micah was born. "You're on" he whispered gripping her hips firmly as his thrusts became harder and harder. Sam swore when she met every single one.
"I told…you I could keep…up" she gasped gripping the pillows above her head as she gazed still defiantly at him.
"We'll see" Sam smirked pulling out and in one move turned her over on her stomach. 'Impressive' he heard her say as he laid himself on top of her. Sam softly brushed her hair away from her ear "Let's play a game, Cede. It's called 'How Many Times Can Yawne Scream'"?
"How do you play" Mercedes asked looking at him.
Sam slipped himself back inside her watching her eyelids flutter as she bit her bottom lip. "The rules are each time I make you scream I get to make love to you when and anywhere I want it, and I mean anywhere"
Mercedes felt a shiver as her husband kissed her down her spine "What if I don't scream" she sighed.
"You will, you always scream, Love" he began slowly rolling his hips as he squeezed her butt "So it's a win, win for me I get to hear you scream and bang you whenever I want".
Mercedes rose up to her hands and knees glancing back at him "What if I win" she moaned.
"I highly doubt you'll win" he cupped her face kissing her gently then gave her another hard thrust.
"Fuck" Mercedes whimpered as she turned back, her cross gazed captured the headboard. She bit her lip as a scream caught in her throat. Grabbing the iron rods she hung on for dear life.
Sam smirked watching her he leaned forward "Just a matter of time, Yawne" he whispered in her ear. He moved one hand around her waist and in between her legs as he found what he was looking for.
"That's cheating" she gasped loudly as Sam rubbed and pinched her clit. She turned glaring at him.
"Nothing out of the ordinary that I'm doing, Cede" he smirked as he continued to love her. Mercedes turned around placing her face in the pillows as her body began to shake. "Nope, no pillows, can't hear you scream", Sam pulled her up as he sat down. He lifted her up and turned her around to face him. "Want to watch you cum, My Woman" he smiled up at her as he began moving her hips hard against him.
She clung to him "I'm not going to scream, Sam" Mercedes choked the words out past the scream in her throat.
Sam kissed her "We have all night and I'm a patient man" he whispered caressing her back softly as he strokes picked up speed and intensity.
Mercedes buried her face in his neck keeping her mouth tightly shut. She felt her body near the edge and Sam was nowhere near there. Sam gave her one soft thrust and she screamed as she came on him. She tried to move off him so her orgasm wouldn't last so long but he held her firm. Sam stopped moving holding her tight as she trembled in his arms. He swore quietly feeling her squeeze his still hard member.
Sam lifted her head so he could look at her "Beautiful" he whispered watching her whimper as her orgasm was far from over.
Mercedes opened her eyes to his green ones "Thank you" she trembled as she jerked in his arms.
"I'll keep telling you, Mercedes every day if I have to; I can't get enough of you, or your loving"
"I can't satisfy you" she asked sadly.
Sam kissed her forehead "The point is Woman if you didn't satisfy me. I'll never be able to get enough, so I'll just have to keep trying" he watched her blush.
Mercedes gazed at his lips in their perfect lopsided smile "Am I that good, I've never been with anyone so I can't compare"
"You better not compare" he growled pinching her butt "I think that's why our love making is so amazing, we have nothing to compare it to so it is the best sex ever for us"
"I glad you are the only man I've been with, Sam" Mercedes smiled wrapping her arms around his waist she laid her head on his shoulder "I don't think anyone can put it on me like you can"
"Not even Finn"?
"Ewe gross"
"Hey he was your FWB".
"Yeah but I laid out the rules first, he never got to touch me the way you do. I was always your woman"
Sam kissed her hard "Damn straight you are".
"You won your little game, Sam" Mercedes said softly; she smiled when she saw his fist do a victorious pump. She started the get off him only to have him pull her back.
"Not yet, Mercedes" he smiled laying her down on the bed. "The game is 'how many screams'" he smirked down at her and he moved slowly within her.
"Ser…seriously" she gazed up at him.
Sam lifted her legs onto his arms pressing his body against hers kissing her deeply "Yup" he began increasing his speed. "More screams to come, Yawne"
"So was that five or six screams, Yawne" Sam asked pulling his wife close afterwards.
Mercedes shook her head "All I know is that I'm going to be very sore tomorrow"
"You asked for it" he chuckled stroking her cheek.
Mercedes giggled "I know"
"Mercedes I want you to go to Milan" Sam said gazing into her eyes.
"It's okay, Sam I don't want to go" she cupped his face smiling.
Sam placed his hand over hers "Yes you do, like you said it's a great opportunity for you" he kissed her palm.
"I don't want to leave you" she confessed "I was angry earlier and I wasn't thinking straight"
Sam kissed her lightly "I know, but you're still going. Things like this don't happen every day, Babe. And I won't let you pass it up because of me."
"You wouldn't mind if I took Micah with me"?
"No, it will give me man to man time with Simeon"
"Don't go and start talking to him about sex and condoms, Sam" she tried to scold but it came out as a laugh.
"I won't, Micah didn't have any answers for me I doubt Simeon will" he held up his hands in surrender. Mercedes shook her head smiling. "I was thinking maybe we need to have more fights, Cede"
"Why" she had a worried look on her face.
"Because the makeup sex is totally awesome" Sam laughed.
Mercedes punched him "Go to sleep, you have to drop Simeon off at school tomorrow" she nestled herself to her spot.
Sam wrapped his arms around her and intertwined their legs. "I love you" he whispered.
"I love you more" Mercedes whispered back.
"Do I smell another challenge afoot" he gazed down at her.
Mercedes kissed him "Maybe" she smiled up at her husband.
Sam watched her snuggle even closer to him closing her eyes. 'To hold you in my arms every night' he smiled remembering. He stroke her hair as he felt her relax drifting away into slumberland "Do I make you happy, Mercedes" he asked softly not knowing if he would get an answer.
"Every day Samwise" she mumbled already half sleep.
Sam smiled watching her sleep for a while. Getting up he went a turned off the bedroom light. Sam moved her slowly of the covers and got back in bed. Pulling the covers over them he moved closer to her nestling his face to her, kissing her softly "I'll give you three maybe four children, Mercedes, I promise and I won't break it this time". He tucked strain of hair behind her ear. "Promise me you'll always be happy by my side' and I'll promise to make you proud of me; I never want to disappoint you again" he whispered. Mercedes snuggled closer as Sam took that as an "I promise, too"
