Chapter 18

Reset:Part One

He climbed on top of her not saying a word with hungry eyes.

"What are you doing?"

He removed his shirt along with hers and began unbuttoning her pants followed by her lacy underwear.

"Wh-What are you doing?"

He grunted and removed his pants and boxers looking at her naked body slowly, taking in every inch and curve of her body. He couldn't help but stroke his erect penis slowly wishing like hell his hand was her soft lips. She looked down and saw his engorged member and groaned when she saw him stroking it slowly.

"Open your legs Mercy." Sam demanded. Mercedes swallowed hard and did as he told feeling herself growing more and more aroused. He had never been so aggressive and it was damn sexy. His eyes went dark and he slowly climbed on top of her never breaking eye contact and leaned down kissing her deeply and passionately as he lined up with her wet core. He rubbed the tip of his penis against her folds getting soaked in her excitement before thrusting into her making her break their kiss to yelp.

"Sam..."

His thrust were deep and rhythmic, steady and driving her crazy.

"Why the did you run from me?" He said finally gripping her waist to hold her in place and he drove in and out of her causing her to moan and tremble.

"Answer me, why did you make me wait seven damn months to have you again?"

"I..mmm... I d-didn't run baby. I... ahhhh" she said before he began hitting her spot making her lose her train of thought.

"Why baby?" He asked again attacking her lips kissing her so hungrily and deeply, pulling away when he needed to breath.

"Why did you run?" He asked pulling out abruptly and looking at her as she pleaded with her eyes for him to enter her again.

"I didn't run, I just got scared. The way you look at me and how you make me feel scares me… I don't want you to leave again." She answered breathlessly.

"I told you I wouldn't! I told you why I needed to leave baby." He said driving deeper into her not giving her a chance to answer, he wasn't sure what made him approach her this way but damn if it didn't excite him oh how she reacted.

"Sam you left and I got scared when you started… shit do we really need to talk about this now?" She asked wrapping her legs around him.

"YES! I've been trying for months but you kept avoiding the conversation." He replied.

9 Month Ago

Mercedes waited patiently for her mother and daughter to arrive she refused to wait at the villa which her mother advised, no she wanted to be there when they landed so she drove to the airstrip and waited. She was there for a little over an hour before her mother let her know they had landed, she quickly got out of her car and rushed over to her family's private plane rubbing her hands together waiting for the door to open. When she saw her mother coming down the steps and a few seconds later she saw Samantha's little curls closely behind and she ran over to them hugging her mother only a millisecond before scooping up her daughter and hugging her tightly.

"Oh sweet girl!" Mercedes said crying and planting kisses all over her face making her giggle, which in turn made Mercedes cry even more.

"Mommy it's okay, you don't have to cry." Samantha said sweetly.

"I know baby but I can't stop right now… I was so worried about you and I'm so sorry I wasn't able to keep you, I tried I promise I did baby girl." Mercedes said kneeling in front of her daughter cupping her face.

"When is daddy coming?" Mercedes felt a lump in her throat when her daughter asked that question and hung her head.

"Oh sweet pea we talk about this remember? He needed to stay there for a little bit but he'll be home when you go back okay?" Diane said and Mercedes shot her head up looking at her mother incredulously shaking her head.

"Come on baby let's get you back to the villa, I have all your favorites waiting for you." Mercedes said grabbing her daughter's hand and walking her towards her car but Samantha stopped and shook her head backing up.

"They said that she would have set backs and if that's the car… she's not going to get into it." Diane said sighing and picking up Samantha who looked like she was bout to cry. "Follow us or leave it and we'll get you another car."

"I… I'll follow and we can get rid of it later." She replied holding back her own tears and watching her mother and daughter get into another car. She walked over to hers and waved before getting in and hitting her hand on the steering wheel, she shook her head and fished for her phone before she finally found it to make a call.

This is Sam, leave a message.

Jesus Sam… you left! You left… I know I told you to but I need you now. Our baby girl needs you too… I can't do this alone this time. You have to come back and it's okay if you're only here for Samantha but please come back. Please baby just come back for our little girl.

She let out a shaky breath and started her car before puling off, she hoped like hell Sam would at least call back but she prepared herself to be as strong as she could for their daughter.

…

Sam knew he should have called back when Mercedes called him a few weeks ago but he had to focus on closing loose ends and this was his last step, he needed his parents to know exactly what they had done and make sure they understood beyond reason why he refused to ever let them meet his child. His mother had been apologizing to the point that it was making him angry but today was the day he was going to make his parents feel his pain.

For the past week he watched all the videos Mercedes made and he was completely broken, he didn't know what to do for days. His anger was so evident that heat radiated off of him but after rewatching them he learned so much about both Mercedes and Samantha, he got to see her first smile, the first time she had ice cream, the first time she laughed, her first steps and the sweetest thing her first words. He saw the changes in Mercedes too, the sadness in her eyes after bringing home Samantha compared to a year after was crazy, her light was back and contrary to what she kept telling him he saw the same Mercy he met all those years ago. She was there, she grew up and beautifully, seeing the subtle changes in her features but one thing was for sure she was and is beautiful inside and out.

"Why did you want me to meet you here?" Mary said looking at her son questionably.

"Because I need both of you to say what I need to say." He said before walking through the gates of the jail his father was being held. They signed in and managed to get a private room thanks his old friend he walked inside and saw his father though in jail seemed to be fairing pretty well, Dwight stood to hug him but Sam just shot him a look and moved aside. When he saw Mary he tried to speak to her but she cut him off with a dark look before sitting in the seat furthest from him.

"Okay now what is it that you want to talk about?" Mary asked ignoring Dwight's staring.

"I want you two to watch something." He said handing the tape to the officer who put it into the VCR and pressed play showing Mercedes standing there smiling.

"Why are you here?" Dwight asked looking away from the screen to his son.

"Watch."

"Why on Earth would I want to wat-"

"Shut the hell up and watch the damn tape!" Mary said before looking back the screen.

Video Clip

"Moma do you really need to record this?" Mercedes asked standing there rubbing her stomach and breathing steadily.

"Yes! Time is winding down so every moment counts!" Diane said turning the camera around so she could be seen smiling brightly. "Your moma is mighty tired of me so we need you hurry up and make your appearance little girl!"

"Leave the girl alone Di, you remember how you were when you got to this stage and she's actually a lot calmer than you were." Matthew said kissing Mercedes on the cheek then handing her a bottle of water that she gladly took. She started to open it but stopped suddenly having a weird sensation flow over her body before feeling like she leaking. When she looked down she felt a gush of fluid leave her body and she shot her head up, her eyes were wide and she quickly put her free hand over her large baby bump.

"My water..."

"Holy shit her water broke..." Marcus said looking at his sister then his parents.

"YOUR WATER BROKE AND I CAUGHT IT CAMERA!" Diane shouted before handing the camera to her husband and going to her daughter who was still frozen in place.

"Come on baby let's go get you clean up, Marc get her bag from the closet there and baby get the car ready we're going to have us a grandchild soon!" Diane said helping Mercedes up the stairs taking the camera from Matthew first.

When they got upstairs she instructed Mercedes to take a quick shower and she would get her some clothes to put on after she got out. Diane waited for her daughter to go into the bathroom before picking up the camera and turning so it facing her.

"Well baby girl, your moma's about to have you and I couldn't be more excited! Now I'm going to make a pack with you right now, your moma is lost baby. So whenever it seems like too much I want you to let me know… I know you're only an infant but I'll know when I see that cute little face of yours. Now I don't have much time but I wanted you to know that your dad loved your mother so very much and he wanted you and her more then you'll ever know, I have a feeling you're going to look like him so if she cries it's because she loves that she gets to see him in you. Okay your moma's coming, I love you so much little bit and I'll see you real soon."

Diane put the camera down and handed Mercedes her clothes still smiling they moved out of frame but they could be heard.

"Moma… is this really happening? I'm about to be a mom… to a baby that's mine and Sam's. Can I do this?" Mercedes asked softly.

"Yes baby! You already are mother you carrying that sweet little gift made you a mother. You are going to do amazing!"

"Moma… Sam would've… God he would have loved all of this you know?" She said with shaky breath.

"Baby he may not be here but he is here and he will be in that room once you deliver her. Now come on before you have to have that baby here! I may be ready to be a grandmother but I'm not ready to do that!" Diane said making Mercedes laugh.

…

"OH MY GOD! Why does it feel like this?" Mercedes screamed as her mother laughed and wiped her forehead.

"Oh girl, it'll pass just push!"

"Do I have to record this?" Matthew said making sure to keep the camera on his daughter.

"Yes! One more push baby I can see her hair!" Diane said with tears forming in her eyes. Mercedes grunted and pushed with her all might before the doctor said those magical words.

"She's here!" Her doctor said holding Samantha up so she could see her and Mercedes heart broke from all the love she had in that instant for her daughter.

"Daddy I want you to cut the cord." She said softly still looking at her daughter who was wailing at this point but it was the sweetest sound she'd ever heard. Her father handed the camera to Diane and shakily cut the cord then per Mercedes request Samantha was placed on her chest so she could have instant skin to skin, she wanted to wait to have her cleaned off, the moment she felt her daughter on her she cried softly gently stroking her small curls.

"Hey beautiful, I'm your mom… I love you so much sweet girl." Mercedes said softly looking down at her daughter who stopped crying and looked up at her with her beautiful eyes. She was Sam through and through and her heart was exploding because she was beyond happy to have a piece of him and to have a little them all in one.

"You did it baby girl, you did it." Matthew said rubbing his daughter's hair and kissing her on the forehead.

"She looks like him." Diane said after the took her away to be cleaned. "She looks like you too but she's definitely Sam." Mercedes just chuckled and smiled waiting for them to bring her back and sitting up when the nurse handed her back to Mercedes.

"She's perfect."

End Video

Sam held back his own tears, no matter how any of the other videos affected him this one broke his heart the most. He looked at his parents and could see his mother understood but his father seemed uninterested in what he had just seen.

"Oh sweetheart..." Mart started but stopped because she didn't know what to say.

"You two took this from me." Sam said with tears welling in his eyes and his voice cracking. "You took the single most important moment in my life outside of meeting Mercedes away because of your own selfishness. I will never know what it was like to hold my child as a newborn. I will never know what it's like to see her grown from an infant to where she is now… Did you know she recorded everything for you?"

"She what?" Mary asked shocked and Dwight just shrugged.

"She recorded every milestone in hopes that the two of you would come around and want to get to know your grandchild. She even wrote letters but they were returned unopened. You took four years from me four years I will never get back and you both had a big hand in keep my child away from me. I wanted you both here to hear this because I refuse to repeat it. I will do anything to get my family back and I plan like hell making it happen but you will never know my child or any future children I have with Mercedes, you denied me a life that I wanted and Dwight you might not give a damn but you will remember it when you're on your death bed and there's not a single person around you. You don't have claim over me or my life anymore and you damn sure don't have a claim over who the fuck I love, I set her free but I fully intend on being the person she falls in love with again."

"Sweetheart please don't-"

"Mary you knew and you still did nothing until my daughter was taken! I will come by regularly to see Stevie and Stacey, I want them to get to know Samantha but I do not trust you and I'm not sure when I will again but for now you can not and will not see her."

"You don't get to come here and tell me some shit like that!" Dwight said finally.

"You fail to remember why you're in here and I don't care to rehash it you're just trying to prolong this visit but I can assure you Dwight, I won't be back. You're about to feel how Mercedes felt when you lied and ripped everything away from her, she was alone, pregnant and still managed to hold out hope that you would come around. Oh as for Quinn you know your mistress, she's pregnant with your child… so it seems as though you'll get a fourth chance at screwing up a your kid's life." Sam said grabbing his tape and leaving both his parents sitting there in shock.

"I won't be back but I won't prevent the twins from coming to see you if they want to that is and I hope you rot in hell!" Mary said slapping Dwight before walking out herself leaving him alone and empty.

…

"Sweetie can you get the door?" Mercedes shouted from the kitchen to Samantha who was sitting in the living room while she made them some cookies. She waited for a response but only heard her daughter shuffling before she heard the door opening.

"DADDY!" Samantha shouted loudly before jumping into Sam's arms laughing as he spun her around before placing her back down.

"Hey little bit… how are you? I missed you a lot." He said kneeling down and handing her a single flower.

"I missed you too!" She said smiling before leaning in. "So did mommy." She whispered and he laughed because she had gotten better at it.

Mercedes heard Samantha scream daddy and was frozen in place, her feet wouldn't let her move nor would her mind comprehend the rush of anger that flowed through her. It had been a month since everything went down, a month since she seen him and she was angry that he had the nerve to just show up after leaving that letter. She refused to go to him if he had came to see her then he would have to come to her, so she continued placing the raw cookies on the baking sheet but she knew he was coming. She could hear his foot steps nearing and her anger dissipating but she wouldn't look at him, she made sure to promise herself to stay strong. She felt the butterflies and knew he was in the kitchen probably admiring her from the back, she definitely felt eyes one her and rolled her eyes because she knew her skin was reacting to him being so close.

"Mercedes..." Sam said and she had to fight the urge to face him, his voice alone had her wanting to… no he left, he left and never called.

"Samuel." She said without turning around but she could hear him shifting.

"Mommy, daddy's here and he brought us flowers!" Samantha said and she knew she would have to turn around. She turned and smiled sweetly at their daughter but avoided looking at him before she walked over and took the flowers from their daughter's hand and smelling them.

"They're beautiful how about I put them in a vase with some water yeah?" She asked and could feel Sam's eyes willing her to look at him, Samantha just nodded and watched as Mercedes did her task before looking at both her parents questionably. She tugged on Sam's arm making him come to eye level with her.

"You should give mommy a hug, I think she needs it." Samantha whispered and Sam smiled weakly.

"How about I give you one and you give it to mommy?" He countered and she took a minute to think before shaking her head no.

"I already gave mommy one, it's your turn. Mommy can I go play out back?" Samantha asked and Mercedes hesitated because that meant she would be alone with Sam but nodded anyway with a smile.

"Just be careful." She shouted as she ran outside.

"Mercedes please look at me." Sam said after a few moments but she didn't say anything so he moved closer. "I know you're upset and you have every right to be but baby-" He stopped when she turned around and finally looked at him.

"Upset is an understatement! You left when I needed the most and I know what I said… I know the things I said were harsh but damnit you should have been the one that brought her home! She asked for you as soon as they got off the plane, I called you and you didn't even…" She said shaking her head refusing to cry.

"I know Mercedes and I am so sorry but I did what I thought was best I needed to to get clear of everything before I could even look at you again. My family took our child to get me away from you, my family lied about me being dead, they stole four years from us and they took so much more from you. I was alive walking around and you were grieving for me, for yourself and for our child baby a whole life was stolen from us. I wanted to come back and ask you to marry me that day, to try to get you to take a pregnancy test because I knew but it didn't happen. I lost everything and didn't know it until I had you back again and we kept getting pushed and pulled every which a way except to each other." Sam said running his hands through his hair and sighing deeply.

"I know this isn't what you wanted to hear this but I didn't come back without the intention on getting us back… on getting my family back. I don't care how long it takes I just need to know that you'll let me try." Sam moving closer standing directly in front of Mercedes pleading with his eyes. She looked up at him searching his eyes while fighting back her tears she reached up and wiped the ones that fell from his eyes.

"We have to go slow, Samantha needs consistency so we can have dinners but-"

"I know I got a place and I can come over as much as needed… as much as you'll allow."

"And no more almost encounters and stop looking at me like that!" She said letting out a deep breath.

"Like what?" He asked smirking

"Like you've seen me naked or are trying to see what color underwear I have on." She replied as he smiled nodding slowly before leaning down.

"I have seen you naked on very many occasions and I am trying to figure out what color your bra is because you're not wearing panties." He whispered before kissing her on her cheek, Mercedes just bit her lip and took a step back trying not to smile.

"I'm going to go outside and play with little bit if that's okay?" He asked walking backwards towards the backdoor.

"Hey she's all yours." She replied turning around and finally placing the cookies in the oven. Sam stopped and watched her closely tilting his head before she turned around quickly narrowing her eyes at him before shaking her ass and rolling her eyes when he winked at her before going outside.

When the cookies were finally done she decided to join them and smiled when she saw Sam pushing Samantha on her swing set, she sat down and watched them as they played laughing she took a picture of them running around and few others from her spot before they roped her and had her chasing after them both playing tag. They stayed out there for two hours before it was time to put Samantha down for nap, which Sam did with great ease before he returned back downstairs.

"She go down easy?"

"She asked a ton of very hard questions but yes she crashed." Sam replied sitting plopping done on the couch laying his head on her thigh.

"So… her birthday is coming up and I figured we could do Moana… since she's still stuck on it." Mercedes said looking down at him. "It'll be the first one you'd be apart of so I wanted to make sure to include you… in the planning."

"I would love to help, what umm what do you need me to do? When do..." He suddenly felt overwhelmed with excitement.

"Well we usually have a small get together but she has a few friends at her school that she wants to invite so that's why I suggested the Moana theme… it could be a water party, we could sing and dance have cupcakes she doesn't like cake. Don't ask I still haven't been able to fully understand that logic but cupcakes she will have." Mercedes said with a soft giggle, Sam laughed as well because it didn't make sense but he didn't care he would get her whatever she wanted.

"Okay cupcakes, think we can get her costume to match? Make it like a luau… leis, coconuts and pine- no pineapples." He replied sitting up smiling.

"Mhm… we would need to order the themed cups and plates soon because we had a mishap during her second birthday. I don't care what anyone says it doesn't get easier the older they get…"

"I could draw some of them… I haven't in a long time but I'm sure if you told me what or showed me I could hand make the banners that and the invitations." Sam offered.

"I think she would love that."

"Yeah? Did you ever look in my book? The one on my desk?" He asked and shook her head no. "Come here." He said standing and holding his hand out she took it and they entered his office which really was stuck in time. He walked them over to his desk sitting her down and opening his sketch book and leaning down with his head resting on her shoulder she turn slightly to look at him raising her eyebrow and he just chuckled.

"Look, please." He encouraged. She let out a sigh and flipped the page and her eyes grew wide as she admired the bright colors and beautifully drawn characters. There were bubbles above them but no words but she could tell by the eyes on the woman she was supposed to be a form of her. She lightly ran her finger over the drawing before flipping it again and seeing more to comic but still no words but she recognized the background and smiled looking at him before turning the page again and gasping.

"Oh Sam this was apart of your plan huh?" She asked feeling tears forming but shaking them away so she didn't get them on the drawing.

"Well I was going to fill in the bubbles first and then bind it before taking you to the place it all happened. I even called a few old frat brothers to make sure it was okay but then hell happened. I'm surprised you never looked at it, I knew how badly you wanted to see what I was drawing." He said turning the chair around and pulling it so he could sit on the couch with her in front of him.

"You kept telling me you would show me soon and after everything I just wanted it to remain a surprise. You kinda gave that little piece back to me just now… you showing me this I mean." She said softly before clearing her throat.

"So the little monster will be up in like an hour and she'll be ready for dinner… we'll need to explain everything to her but we could have dinner together tonight." She said standing.

"I can cook you know?" He joked and laughed when she gave him a bullshit look.

"You're forgetting that I know you… knew you rather and though you were pretty good around the kitchen I don't want to kill our child tonight." She said giggling and walking out of his office with him behind her before she stopped. "I can see your eyes Evans."

"If you wore underwear we wouldn't have this problem seriously woman when did you stop wearing panties?" He asked quickly looking up when she turned slightly.

"When I stopped having someone rip them off of me." She said and felt a rush of sadness before pushing it away and continuing into the kitchen. Sam let out a sigh and knew she was still very much hurting and he understood but he hoped his presence wasn't making it even more difficult.

"Mercedes… is me being here making it harder for you?" He asked making her stop her actions and turn to look at him.

"It's not that Sam… it's all this craziness that surrounded this. It's weird trying to find a normal while I think we both thought we were moving in some direction of us being together officially again but we didn't include the real world in that mix and the real world came knocking down that small foundation we rebuilt. I feel unsteady and confused because I am literally torn in half… there's one side of me that just wants to rip your clothes off and make love to you until I physically can't anymore but then there's the other side that keeps screaming that I would making love to a stranger. You make me feel weak and scared at the same time because those four years you did have a different life than I did which is fine don't get me wrong but to go back to how thing were is asking me to get drunk and us have sex in the park again." She answered running her hands over her jeans.

"Physically you could have your way with me and I wouldn't even be angry, emotionally I'm guarded but I need you to understand it's nothing you did… I'm just so much in my way because I don't know anything outside of being a mom at this point. How the hell am I supposed to be someone's whatever and heal… I think what I'm saying is I need to get to know me again." She finished looking at him hoping he understood but his expression was unreadable.

"I understand." He said nodding looking at her deeply before walking over to her and stopping seeking permission before he hugged her. "Humor me?"

"What?" She asked pulling away.

"Humor me." He said again with a small smile and she just nodded before he walked out of the kitchen she waited for him to return but she heard the front door open then close and then a knock making her shake her head with a smile forming on her lips. She walked to the door and opened it with her eyebrow raised as Sam smiled at her then clearing his throat.

"Hi, I'm new to the neighborhood and just wanted to introduce myself." He said sweetly holding his hand out for her to shake which she did slowly.

"Hi, I'm Mercedes." She said trying hard not to laugh at his antics.

"Well it's nice to meet you Mercedes, I'm Sam and I must say you are very beautiful."

"Well you are too kind… would you like to come in?" She asked and made a face that made her laugh.

"I thought you'd never ask." He said stepping closer to her before she moved aside so he could come back inside they both looked at each other before bursting out in laughter.

"You have to admit it feels better right?"

"Yea… it does come help me make dinner." She said shaking her head giggling.
