A/N: Super cute chapter and a little longer than my usual. Enjoy!

I want to apologize again for the delay. My brother was in a very bad wreck and I haven't been able to focus but I plan on updating the rest of my other fics today as well to make up for it!

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Babies… So many Babies!

"Hey! Baby?" Sam shouted when he walked into their bedroom but she wasn't in there either. He looked throughout the whole house and still no sign of Mercedes. When he walked outside he wondered around until heading up the path towards the barn, she had been taking walks regularly these last few weeks to try to get her labor going but so far nothing was changing.

"Merce?" He shouted to see if she was close enough to hear but again still got no answer, he was starting to get worried until he saw her slowly trekking her way rubbing her stomach slowly and taking deep breaths. She smiled when she looked up and saw Sam coming towards her before letting out another deep breath.

"Hey." She said a little out of breath.

"Oh hell no, woman I told you not to go this far alone. What would've happened if you were all they way out there and I hadn't come back?" He said with no hint of anger he was just pretending to be upset and she saw straight through him and just smiled at him.

"I know but I just had the urge to go walking this one was a little tougher than the last few that's for sure." She replied.

"You know one day your water's gonna break and the horses are gonna have to help you deliver. Come here, I'll carry you back." He said gently scooping her up and heading back towards their house, Mercedes looked at him with a sweet smile before something crossed her mind that made her smile grow.

"You know… something just occurred to me." She said running her hand along the nape of his neck and gripping the hairs back there slightly making him groan.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah… I gave Roderick some advice about aiding the process to get his wife's water to break. I think we should take my advice and see if you know it works?" she replied seductively and waited for Sam to get what she was hinting at and when he did he gave her a devious smirk.

"Oh we can definitely see about making that happen." He said quickening his pace, when he finally reached the door and he placed her down slowly and she shot him a confused look.

"We're gonna have a little fun." He said eyeing her intensely before taking a step back and removed his shirt and smirked when her eyes went wide before let out a soft moan. Mercedes grabbed her stomach and looked down before shooting her head up and looking at Sam with watery eyes as a slow smile crossed her face before panic flickered in her eyes.

"HOLY SHIT! WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE OUR BABIES!" Sam shouted excitedly grabbing her arm gently and led her into the downstairs bathroom like they planned and helped her out of her clothes then in to the shower which he insisted on joining.

"You do realize you could be gathering the bags and getting ready yourself." She said as he ran his hand up her back soothingly, he knew shew as nervous and didn't really want him to be anywhere else.

"This apart of the plan we made, when we get out we'll call our doctor and it'll only take me three minutes to get everything loaded up including you. Now let me take care of you woman!" He said and she laughed. They showered and he helped her out and to get dressed before he got dressed his self and loaded everything up including Mercedes.

"Let's go meet our babies." He said with a big smile and she nodded excitedly.

...

Flashback

"Are you sure this is the building?" Sam asked Mercedes for the third time.

"Yep. I want this place it's perfect." She answered smiling and looking at him confidently. The realtor they hired looked at Sam for confirmation before he gave he nodded over to Mercedes.

"She's the one in charge here not me." He said slowly turning around looking at the large building his wife was so adamant on choosing for her still nameless organization. It had be a few weeks since she had gotten the idea and she didn't waste anytime getting the idea off the ground, she did a ton of research regarding zoning, housing and long list of things that forced Sam to hide her laptop for three days so she could get the proper rest she needed.

"Oh well Mrs. Evans, this is a pretty old building and comes with four other buildings. It's basically a mini campus. It's going to take a great deal of remodeling, a lot of mon-"

"I want to buy it." Mercedes said firmly batting her eyes at the man with a smirk.

"There are other, umm more up to date properties I can show you… I mean considering your current condition-"

"Mr. James, I am pregnant my 'condition' doesn't lessen my ability to make a sound decision. This has everything I need to do what I want with my organization so again, I want to buy it."

"Okay well let's put in an offer and see what owners agree with."

"No I want to buy it out right, the asking price is fair and I don't really have a ton of time to go back and forth about this being that my 'condition' causes me to have to go to the bathroom every few minutes."

"Mrs. Evans the asking price is well over three million." Mercedes shot their realtor a warning look that made him nod and quickly take out his phone to put in her offer of the full price.

"So… what now?" Sam asked feeling extremely proud of his wife.

"Now we rest and after I have these two little monsters because they are monsters at this point that are tag teaming my bladder, we will move forward. I don't want to rush the next part because it's important we get it right. This will be a safe place… a haven for women who are stuck in a horrible place with no one to turn to or help them. It took me a while to get to this point so it's going to take a while to get this place up but the second I feel it's ready we'll open the doors." She replied saying a silent prayer for all the women who came through there once they did open.

"Well let's go write a large check and get you home then."

"Bathroom… then home." She said giggling.

End Flashback

"Oh my God! Sam we are not having any more kids! I hate I love you so much but this shit hurts!" She said as another contraction passed as she squeezed his hand tightly.

"Ow…" Sam said under his breath before she let go and he silently thanked God because he wasn't sure he could handle her doing that much longer but it was short lived because another one came and she grabbed his hand again making him wince but he kept a brave face for his wife.

"Hey there! So you opted for natural birth and it looks like we can start pushing." Her doctor said calmly which only made Mercedes even more angrier because why the hell was she so calm. Sam leaned down and kissed her gently smiling brightly because it was time and he was excited.

"You're doing so great baby just a little longer okay?" He said softly while stroking her hair. After everyone got prepped she was told to take a deep breath and get ready to push.

"Alright Mercedes, let's get these babies here." Her doctor said calmly. Mercedes looked up at Sam one last time before bracing herself to have her their babies.

"Okay push!" Mercedes took in a deep breath and pushed holding onto Sam's hand as he encouraged her. After several pushes and her cussing a few more times their first son was officially born, his lungs were strong and he wasted no time being heard. They only got a quick glance before Sam had to cut the umbilical cord so he could be cleaned.

"You did so great baby! Just one more okay?" Sam said gearing up for round two, Mercedes just gave him a weak smile before getting ready herself.

'Okay Mercedes this one should just slide right out." Her doctor joked.

"Wait what? Like it's not broken is it?" Sam asked and Mercedes couldn't help but laugh before groaning.

"Okay push!" Her doctor instructed and again she did several pushes before hearing the sound of their second baby crying. "Whew! We got two healthy babies everyone! Congratulations mom and dad!"

"Can we see them?" Mercedes asked smiling up at Sam.

"Of course!" A nurse said walking over with one of their babies and another one right behind her with the other. They both took a baby into their arms and immediately Mercedes began crying again when she saw both of their cute little faces. She didn't realize until that moment that this would've been her second and third babies had it not been for Shane's abuse. She looked at Sam who was lost in their son smiling and holding his hand with a finger, they shared a look and both knew they were whole again.

"So who do you have there?" Sam asked getting choked up just thinking about finally giving them their names.

"Well he definitely looks like a Lucas, my little Lucas man. Hi Lucas were you the one tap dancing on my bladder?" She joked before noticing him open one eye then quickly close it making her giggle.

"So I have Levi then, hey big guy! I'm pretty much going to help you and your brother be the most awesome kids while equally terrorizing you mother." Sam said earning him a stern look from Mercedes that he just winked at before leaning down and kissing her gently.

"We did it baby." He said feeling thankful for every moment they shared and every step that got them to this point because this was what he's wanted and he couldn't have picked a more perfect wife and woman to fall in love with.

"We did… think we should let them in now before they tear the door down?" She asked nodding over to the door smiling.

"Yeah here but I want him back when I come back." Sam said placing Levi on to her chest next to Lucas, he stopped and just looked at them for a second engraving that image into his mind of his wife and two sons before he walked out of the room letting a happy sigh.

"Well?" Kurt said quickly getting up from his seat with everyone soon following.

"They're beautiful! They look like us so much it's crazy and God… she looks gorgeous. She probably won't feel the same way but she does." Sam said getting emotional and everyone went over to him pulling him into a group hug.

"Hey it's okay dude we all cried when we saw our kids." Finn said winking at Rachel and Puck making a face trying to deny it.

"Puck too." Quinn added with a soft laugh.

"Guys… you know my parents would've probably taken them from us the moment she had our little guys. I feel them both here and I think she feels her dad too, I'm so happy." Sam said finally pulling away and everyone agreed he looked beyond happy.

"Come on I wanna meet my new nephews!" Kurt said happily.

"Yeah I want to see how big their lips are because you and Cedes..." Santana said pointing at Sam's lips making everyone laugh.

"Remind me to keep them far away from you." Sam joked walking them to the room and knocking before opening it. He let everyone go in before him and smiled when they all quickly surrounded Mercedes and their sons.

"Oh my Mercy-me, they are as handsome as can be!" Kurt gushed.

"Yes they are very cute Merce." Tina said wiping a fallen tear. "Can we?"

"Oh sure! Umm this little one is Levi." She said as Tina slowly picked him up crying again.

"And this cutie is Lucas he winks… truly an Evans man." She siad with a soft giggle as Blaine gently picked him smiling.

"Wow, we may need you to be our surrogate and egg donor because these babies are gorgeous." Blaine said laughing when Sam shook his head and gave him a "hell no" look.

"You might want to ask crazy over there but I wouldn't mind after we have a little girl that is." She said winking at Sam who's smile grew by one thousand at the mention of more kids.

"Not now.." She added and laughed when his smile dropped slightly.

Everyone each got a turn holding both babies before it was time to let the nurses take them and for Mercedes to get some rest. They all said their goodbyes and promised to come back to visit after they got settled, Santana made the comment that she was slightly disappointed that their lip looked average sized making everyone laugh before Mercedes informed her that hers were that size when she was a baby too.

"Alright everyone, I know you want to stay but mom and dad need some rest and babies do as well." A nurse said shooing everyone out.

Sam help Mercedes get comfortable before they said goodbye to their babies for the next few hours so she could rest because Sam wasn't the least bit tired but he promised not to go the nursery and torture the nurses.

"Sam?"

"Yeah baby?" He asked looking up from his sketchbook.

"We kinda made some gorgeous ass kids huh?" She said with a laugh before yawing. Sam smiled and walked over to her bed and nudged her over so he could lay with her.

"We did and you did an amazing job today and the these past nine months." He praised kissing her on her forehead and wrapping his arms around her gently. "Get some sleep beautiful, I'll be here when you wake up."

"Mhm. I know as soon as I fall asleep you're going to go into that nursery to terrorize those sweet nurses." She said drifting off and he jut chuckled.

"No I'm not." He whispered and laughed when just opened one eye at him before closing it back.

…

Sam waited a whole hour before finally giving in and going to check on their sons after Mercedes fell asleep. He smiled when he saw their boys snuggled in the blankets, he walked inside the nursery as immediately greeted by one of the nurses.

"Hi, Mr. Evans right?" She asked smiling at Sam's shocked expression. "Your wife told me to expect you when you were in the waiting room with your friends."

"Oh that sneaky woman… I love her but yes I'm Sam." He answered.

"She instructed me to let you know you only get thirty minutes before I have to send you away to get some rest." She replied before nodding him over the rocking chair for him to sit. Sam smiled and quickly went over to the chair as the nurse picked up Lucas for him to hold.

"Thanks." He said when she brought him over and place him into his hands.

"No problem he's a little feisty." She said before walking away.

"I see you're like your mother in that way. You know your mother knew I would be coming in here and somehow got the nurses involved to keep me here for a limited time so I want to tell you a few things. Whatever your mom says is law, I know what you're thinking but it'll be easier I promise, oh and I promise to be the best dad to you and your brother. It's a given that Merce, your mom will be the best and whenever you need either of us we'll be there for the both of you." He said looking at his son who seemed to be listening before his little eyes fluttered closed,

Sam smiled and placed a kiss on his tiny forehead before walking over to place him back in his bassinet. He picked up Levi and walked him over to the rocking chair to sit down before his time was up, he looked at his son and realized the stronger resemblance to Mercedes. He didn't realize it at first but he could see it now and it made him smile that they weren't completely identical.

"Hey there little guy, it's me your dad. I just talked to your brother and I can already say you two are super lucky to have each other. I wanted siblings but it never happened, your mother doesn't have any either but you both still have a ton of aunts and uncles and a few cousins. Now I told your bother that what your mother said is law and I feel like I should balance the odds for you both, if you give her a cute pout she'll fold… sometimes not every time but sometimes. Also I wanted to tell you something that specific for you… your middle name holds a lot of weight because it's your grandfather's. Your mother's dad passed like mine and my mother, you also share the name with a horse but that's not really a bad thing. I never met your grandfather but based on the woman I married I can tell he was big part of her life and I promise to be a big part of yours and Lucas' life. I will always be here for all three of you and between you and me I'm hoping for two more of you so you might get some more siblings… soon if we're lucky."

"Doubtful." Mercedes said after finally coming inside fully she had heard everything he said and couldn't help smiling at him.

"You're supposed to be sleeping." Sam said giving her a look.

"And were supposed to be there when I woke up so we're even, now hop up so I can hold him." She said rolling her eyes at him, Sam looked down at Levi who seemed to have opened his eyes when he heard Mercedes' voice and he felt a little jealous.

Sam got up and waited for her to sit before handing her Levi she was still tired but she wanted to see Sam with their sons and get in a few moment with them as well. She smiled as he looked up at her they both shared her doe eyes but had his eye color. They both had thick tiny curls much like hers, Levi's cheeks were a little chunkier than his brother's and she couldn't help gently squeezing them. Sam went to get Lucas so she could hold him as well and when he placed him in her hands he reached for Levi's hand.

"Now I figure it's my turn to tell you a few things because your father seems to think you two will be getting more siblings… soon." She stopped to shot Sam a look letting him know that wasn't happening. "However, it might happen later after we get you two adjusted and a few years under your belts then we can think about that. I promise to be the best mother I can be, I only ask that you bare with me while I learn how to do just that… I'll get it wrong a few times but eventually I'll get the hang of it. Your father hands down will be the best because he helped me so much in more ways than I will probably ever let you know but I know you two already have the best daddy and a forever best friend in him. Now that doesn't mean because you three are all very adorable that I will be over ran because I may be short but I am very mighty, I love you all so very much and will show you as much everyday that I am here with you. Now go back to sleep so I can get your father to get some rest too okay munchkins?" She finished and they both laughed with the boys both made a sound in unison.

"I think they're already trying to gang up on me and I'm here for it completely." Mercedes said as Sam grabbed Levi before holding out his free hand to help her up. They both walked over and placed their sons into the bassinets before reluctantly leaving them, they stopped and looked at them on the way out holding on to each other.

"We did good baby." Sam said kissing the top of her head.

"We did."

Seven Months Later

Sam woke up in a jolt because it was his turn to get the boys up and ready for their day. He started to jump out of the bed before realizing Mercedes wasn't laying next to him, he listened for the shower but it wasn't going and then looked at his alarm clock which had been turned off. He had definitely overslept because it well past 8:00am, he got up and pulled on some sweats before heading to the baby room where he was sure to find Mercedes. He stopped when he heard her singing and tiptoed until he reached their door smiling at the sight before him. Mercedes had both boys in her arms swaying and singing to them as the looked at her in awe their smiles were bright and they seemed to be in best mood.

Confidently, I did the thing
A woman like me should never do
I stepped on a scale
And thought "What the hell?"
Cause honey that scale was mighty rude
So I've gained a little weight
Mama's hair's a little gray
And my strength just ain't the same
But believe me when I say

'd fight a bear underwater for my babies
Bring on a lion, I'm not frightened
They can't take me
I'd tear the stripes off any tiger
You just call me and I swear
I'm right there and I'm not scared
Of lions and tigers and bears
Whoa, oh, whoa

A wolf or a fox, please
A big jabberwocky
You just gotta knock on your mama's door
I'll fight through the fire
But if there's a spider - well honey
That's what your daddy's are for!

Sam came over then wrapping his arms around Mercedes making her jump slightly but she continued to sing as he swayed along with her while making silly faces at the boys who laughed at him.

I know sometimes we don't agree
But I'm always on your team
And if somebody's ever mean
If they try to take a swing
I'm gon hit that gangster lean
Somebody hold my earrings
Let me get that Vaseline
Cause they gon have to go through me

I'd fight the real Loch Ness monster for my babies
I'd slay the dragon and I'll drag 'em
Cause I'm crazy
I'd scare the stripes off any calidah
You just call me and I swear
I'm right there and I'm not scared
Of lions and tigers and bears
Whoa, oh, whoa

When she finished Sam clapped and the boys followed suite making her laugh at how cute they were, she placed a kiss on both of their cheeks before handing Sam Lucas who was already dressed for play date with Beth and Finn and Rachel's son Ian. They were certain it was going to be a great deal of crying and since Beth was older she would most likely be more busy than the rest but they had been waiting to get together with everyone for a while so they decided to make a whole day out of it.

"Sleep well?" Mercedes asked grabbing the clothes she picked out for Levi to wear and sitting on the floor to dress him while Sam bounced Lucas around before joining them.

"You know you could've woken me up right?"

"I know but then you would have two hours alone to teach them something I'm sure would benefit you and not me in the long run so I took this shift." She quipped and nudging him with her shoulder playfully. She took off Levi's pajamas and changed his diaper so quickly that Sam could help but be impressed, she put his outfit on just as quickly before Levi finally rolled over and began crawling over to Sam.

"I have not done anything nor am I teaching them anything they don't need to know. Right guys?" He said smiling at both of them and they smiled back before shouting something in gibberish.

"See? They're plotting." She joked hearing a knock at the door. "Our guest are here." She added standing up and smiled when both babies reached for her.

"They make it so hard don't they?" Sam said smirking at her before grabbing them both. "Go ahead I'll bring them down in a minute… gotta figure out what all they told you."

"See… you want more kids but are corrupting the ones we already have, your logic amazing me Evans." She said with a smile winking at him before heading down stairs.

"Hey!" Quinn said with a bright smile before moving aside to let Beth slowly walk inside which made Mercedes almost cry. Everyone else was behind her all watching proudly.

"Oh my! She's getting so big aren't you cutie?" She asked picking up Beth and placing kisses all over her face before setting her free. Noah came in behind her giving her a hug before going straight to the kitchen.

"Hey hot moma! Where are the boys?" He asked after coming back out with a handful of pretzels.

"Upstairs, Sam's corrupting them."

"Who's corrupting who?" Kurt asked giving Quinn a hug with Blaine right behind him.

"Sam's corrupting their children and she's letting him." Quinn teased winking at Mercedes before following Blaine into the kitchen.

"Hey chica! Where are my babies and when are they coming to stay with me and Brit? Gotta see if we can handle it before trying for our own." Santana said giving her a hug and looking around before spotting Beth and going over to see her.

"Umm… they're upstairs and I guess whenever you want them?" She answered unsure of when Sam would really let them start staying at their friend's house.

"I think it will be fun!" Brittany said giving Mercedes a tight hug before joining Santana.

"Hey where's Rachel and Finn?" She asked realizing that they weren't there and neither was Tina and Mike but they told her they would be in later.

"Oh they're running behind should be here later though." Kurt said before running halfway up the stairs as Sam finally came down with the boys. Kurt took Levi and Blaine took Lucas and they began talking their heads off making Mercedes laugh.

After everyone got settled into their grouping everyone watched as the boys and Beth played happily and all held separate conversations. The men were babbling about God knows what while the women were all talking about Santana's subtle announcement of them thinking about having a child. Tina and Mike showed up about twenty minutes after everyone else did bringing news of their own, they decided they wanted to move closer to everyone so they would be looking for a home in Nashville very soon.

Finn and Rachel finally showed up with their son who was excited to see everyone. They placed him with the rest of the kids before both making their way to their groups. They guys decided they wanted to go out back and hangout in the barn, Sam walked over and kissed Mercedes before leaving with the guys.

"They're up to something." She said after they left shaking her head.

"You think so?" Brittany asked while playing with Ian who was clearly in love with the blonde.

"Yeah I had a feeling as well but wasn't sure." Tina said nodding her head.

"Who knows besides we have the best entertainment here so let them go off and be weird." Kurt said looking at the kids playing.

"You're right besides they didn't take any of the food with them so we all know they'll be back especially the way Noah eats." Quinn said making them all laugh and the babies just looked at them before laughing along with them.

…

After putting all the babies down for a nap all the women including Kurt received a message to come outside and Mercedes shot them a "I told you" look before grabbing the portable baby monitor and walking out back before covering her mouth in shock.

"What in the hell?" Santana said looking at all the men dressed in suits.

"We wanted to do something special for you ladies and Kurt. You've all been super amazing in helping each other with the babies and you especially Santana even though you don't want people to know have been checking in regularly on Merce. So we prepared a little performance for you all." Sam said smiling.

"Oh this is about to be good." Kurt said excitedly.
