The next day Mercedes was at work; the bakery. Today was a pretty okay business day, there were customers but it wasn't busy and it wasn't slow. After helping the last customer; Mercedes took a seat on the stool behind the cash register. She began reading one of her books for her classes and mindlessly rubbing her belly.
Abigail came walking in from the back of the bakery. Abigail was the 58 year old Spanish women that owned the bakery. The bakery had been running in her family for years. It was her great grandmother who started then her grandmother, her mother, and now her. Abigail was the sweetest women you could ever meet. She had a big heart and always cared for others before herself. She had a big family; she was married to a man names Victor Sanchez. Abigail met Victor when she was in middle school but they didn't start dating until they were in 10th grade. During Abigail's junior year she got pregnant and had her first baby; Victor Jr. Years went by and they graduated from high school. Now they have six boy including Victor. Victor and the boys often help out at the shop; they do delivery and sometimes help with the cakes.
When Abigail was walking passed she saw Mercedes had a sad look on her face while she was reading her book. Abigail decided to go talk to her.
"Hey Mama to be, what's up?" says Abigail
"Oh nothing, getting ahead in my reading" said Mercedes.
"Are you gonna tell me what's wrong or am I gonna have to pull it out of you?" says Abigail with a smirk.
Mercedes lets out a long huff.
"It's my Dad" says Mercedes has she outs the book down and begin to stare at the ground.
"What happen?" says Abigail.
Mercedes begins telling Abigail everything that happened over the phone yesterday. As she was telling the story her voice would crack at certain places and her eyes kept watering up but she said strong by fighting back the tears.
"Mercedes can I tell you something?" says Abigail
"Yeah" says Mercedes is a quiet voice.
"You are defiantly one of the strongest people I have ever" says Abigail
"Really?" says Mercedes
"Really, you are so strong to me because you do the things that I could never do. You stood up to you father twice; you follow your heart more than anyone I know. You don't take shit. And most importantly, you fighting to make you life better and better every day. Mercedes you never give up, you're a true fighter. When I was in your situation, I was weak. I didn't stand up to my father when he kicked me out; I just left and didn't say a word. And that's one of the things I regret. I regret not sticking up for myself or Victor. I just let my father talk any old kind of way. I apologize to Victor almost every day for that. And at times when we were rising Victor Jr. I would get weaker and not now what do with myself. But I know one thing for sure Mercedes, you and Sam are gonna make it! And guys are gonna have a beautiful life with you baby girl." Says Abigail.
Mercedes has tears rolling down her face from Abigail's words. She takes her index finger and begins wiping them away.
"Thank you Abigail that means the world to me" says Mercedes
"You're welcome, Mama" says Abigail.
All of the sudden the two hear glass break and shouting.
"MA! VICTOR JR. IS MAKING ME DO ALL THE WORK AND HE MAKE BREAK SOMETHIN'" says Tony the third oldest.
"I DID NOT MA, HE'S LYIING" says Victor Jr. from the background
"Dios Mio! YOU GUYS ARE 30 YEARS OLD AND YOU ACT LIKE YOU'RE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL" says Abigail.
Mercedes giggles.
"I'm glad I'm a girl! Do you wish sometimes you had a daughter?" says Mercedes.
"I do, sweetheart. You are my daughter" says Abigail kissing the top of Mercedes head and leaving to go to back to yell at her sons some more.
Mercedes smiles.

Later that night with Sam and Mercedes in their apartment; Mercedes was sitting on the bed watch Sam concentrate on painting her toenails, since Mercedes could reach them. Sam had his head bent down painting slowly, and making sure he stays in the lines. Sam's touge was sticking out a little to show he was concentrating. Mercedes couldn't help but giggle once in awhile; Sam looks up at her.
"What is so funny?" says Sam
"You're so cute" says Mercedes smiling
"Thank you, I try" says Sam giving her a small smile
"You don't need to" says Mercedes.
Sam gives her his famous lopsided grin.
"What's my Favorite color?" says Mercedes
Sam smiles. "Where gonna play this game? Okay I'm in" says Sam
Sam and Mercedes had tons of games they would play with each other to pass the times or just to play with each other when they got bored. This game they called "Do you really know me". I person would has a question and you had to answer. Sam and Mercedes rules were if you got it right you got a kiss, if you get it wrong there would be a tickle war.
"That's easy, Purple" says Sam.
"Good, I always start with easy questions" says Mercedes leaning in to kiss Sam.
They share a cute peck on the lips.
"If comics didn't work out what would I be?" says Sam finishing the last toe.
"In author, you love writing even if it's for a comic for a book" says Mercedes.
"Someone's been studying" says Sam in a seductive way leaning in to kiss Mercedes.
"I squeeze in what I can" says Mercedes before kissing him.
Sam smiles.
"What's my favorite movie?" says Mercedes
"The Bodyguard" says Sam leaning in for a kiss
"What's the one thing I can't live without" says Sam in a whisper voice close to her face.
"Me" says Mercedes staring at Sam's eyes with intensity.
"God, your good" says Sam before crashing his lips into Mercedes.
She giggles in between the kiss and Sam smiles in between the kiss.
