Okay so this is the last chapter, an epilogue as you may call it.
I am already writing a new fanfic so don't worry. I just heard my country is on total lockdown so I have time.
Sorry for any errors, perfection is overrated. Enjoy!
I do not own Glee, if I did I would have made Rachel less obnoxious.
*A few months later*
Mercedes and Sam enjoyed each others company and with Dwight they felt like a family again. Sam wants to surprise Mercedes in the best way possible and has shared his plan with Dwight.
Sam and Dwight are already eating breakfast when Mercedes comes running in. "Sam, my… omg… I don't know what happened?"
"Babe, slow down. What happened?"
Mercedes looks down at her hand. "My ring it's gone. I had it yesterday and I thought it was on my dresser, but now it's not there anymore." She slowly starts to cry. Sam gets up and hugs her. Dwight walks away outside. "Have you seen it? I can't live without that ring Sam, I just can't."
He pulls her even closer. "It's okay, let's go outside and take a breather." She pushes him away and now he sees angry tears falling from her eyes.
"Are you serious right now? I lost the one thing that is most dear to me and you have the audacity to say something as stupid as that." She huffs and wants to walk away, but he grabs her arm.
"I know what that ring means to you, but you need to calm down so we can look for it together. Now come on." He drags her with him although she is trying to resist.
"Let me go!" She raises her voice, but he doesn't budge. When they walk outside the back door she gasps. "What the…" There are no words. The garden is full of red rose paddles and at the end there is a beautiful white gazebo where Dwight is standing. She stops struggling and walks with Sam towards Dwight.
"Miss Jones, Mr. Evans, we are here today because there is someone here that needs to share something." Dwight keeps trying not to choke on his own words. "Mr. Evans?"
Mercedes' gaze goes from son to father and Sam clears his throat. "My dear Mercedes, I know we have only been in a relationship for a few months but I want to share something with you. Something that is very dear to me. I… I just…" He can't contain his tears anymore and is flustered with emotions. He feels her hand on his cheek and looks at her. This is the woman who made him feel again, who made him love again and made his family whole again.
"You can do it dad." Dwight holds Sam's hand in encouragement.
"You complete me, you complete us." He looks at his son. "You made him smile and believe in himself in a way I never could. But what I didn't know is what you were doing to me. You love me without any doubt and never had any petty for me. You just understood me in a way I didn't know anybody could. When we talked about your family I finally understood why you understand me the way you do. You haven't had a family and I want to change that."
Mercedes is crying and confused. What is he saying? "Babe would you do me the honor of—"
He doesn't get the chance to finish as she jumps in his arms and kisses him. "Yes." She kisses him again and he smiles against her lips. "Babe you don't even know what I was gonna say."
A little embarrassed she steps back. "Sorry." She whispers looking at her hands when Dwight takes them in his. "I think it is my turn now." She looks at him a little puzzled.
"Dad had said what he wanted, but I also want to say something. I love you like the mom I never had Mercedes." She squeezes his hands not able to talk. "What dad is trying to ask if you would do us the honor of becoming a whole family again legally as well."
Mercedes eyes widens in shock. "All the paperwork is here. We only need your signature babe." Sam says while he grabs the paper. "What?" Is the only thing Mercedes can say.
"I want you to adopt me as your own Mercedes. I wanna call you mom, because that is who you are to me." He hugs her and then turns around so the paper can be rested on his back.
"What do you say my love?" Sam looks her in the eyes and she sighs. "There is nothing I would love to do more." She signs the paper and Dwight turns around and hugs her making her spin a little. "Thank you so much mom. There is only one thing left." She looks him in the eyes while he points behind her.
She turns around and sees Sam on one knee. Her hands cover her mouth as she sees the ring. The ring that her mother gave her. The ring that would be given to her by her true love. She is overwhelmed with emotions.
"Mercedes Patricia Jones, would you do me the honor of making me the happiest man on earth and marry me?"
She nods and he slides the ring around her finger before scooping her up in his arms. When he kisses her she pulls back. "Yes and I love you Sam Evans."
"I love you too Mercedes Jones." They hug and Dwight joins them.
And they live happily ever after.
