"Well, I hate to stop you from continuing with your wonderful performance, I have to go and perhaps you can spend some time getting to know my wife and her friend and see them home safely later?" Sam interrupted Stevie as he was about to launch into another theatrical proclamation.

Stevie clamped his mouth shut and gave Sam another mocking salute. "Aye aye Captain Sam, yes sirreeee... I will take good care of your wife as if she was mine and make sure they get home safe and sound" he said cheekily.

Mercedes couldn't suppress her giggle while Sam merely frowned at Stevie. Then Sam turned to her.

"l apologise that I have to go off now but there is something really urgent I need to take care of, I will see you at home tonight" he told her, his tone softening slightly. He stood up, went to her and kissed her lingeringly."Tonight" he whispered against her lips, the meaning behind that one word abundantly clear.Then he strode off without a backward glance.

"So, Mercedes, your name is such a mouthful...can I call you M? Or have you changed your name and it's now ME?" Stevie addressed her.

"Actually, you can call me cedes, it's what my friends call me" she told him.

"Actually She hyphenated her last names so it's now MJE" added Santana.

"Hmm...nah...I think MJ suits you just nice, MJ it is," he said decisively."I can't be like everyone else, I have to be different" he added, winking at her.

Mercedes has so many questions but didn't know if it was appropriate for her to ask. Are their parents still alive? If they are, where are they? Why she hasn't met them? Did Stevie and Sam have a fight a while back? What actually happened?

"So, you must be wondering about our parents... knowing Sam, he probably didn't tell you anything about our family" Stevie said, as if he read her mind. "Tell you what, MJ, let's do this quid pro quo way, I tell you one thing and you tell me one thing, that's only fair" he suggested. She agreed to it.After all, Stevie hardly knows anything about her too.

They settled down comfortably and started telling each other things about the Evans and the Jones.

Mercedes finally learnt that Sam's parents were in an ugly divorce and custody battle for several years when Sam and Stevie were children. They were both shuffled from one parent to another and subjected to vindictive vitriol from both parents, each trying to poison their children against the other. Though their father came from a long line of old money, the fortune was close to depleting when it came to their father who lived an extravagant life, barely working a day and frittering all of it away.

The ugly divorce and custody battle did not help. By the time it ended, Stevie and Sam ended up with their father. It turned out, he was not really interested in keeping them, he had merely battled for their custody to spite their mother. Then there was the array of women their father brought home, the drunken nights and the equal array of babysitters and nannies hired to take care of them.

Their holiday visits with their mother was no better. Though she tried, she wasn't very maternal and she had treated them like pets, only to hug, take some nice "family" photos, have a meal together and then they were foisted on more babysitters.

The two boys grew up depending mostly on each other and when Sam turned 18, he walked out and never turned back. He came back for Stevie a couple years later despite working two jobs and being only able to afford a tiny apartment in a shady part of the city.

"We practically took care of ourselves, sure there were babysitters and nannies but they were just there to make sure we are fed and that we don't burn down the house, that's about it." Stevie said.

Dwight Evans died of liver cirrhosis just a few years after Sam left and they discovered that not only was the family fortune gone, their father left a huge debt. Saddled with the huge debt, Sam worked even harder and took night classes to learn coding. Their luck turned when he created a software that begin bringing in money and soon, his dabbling with softwares and computing became a business and here he is today. One of the youngest successful entrepreneurs, a self-made tech billionaire.

"As for me, I have to admit Sam did take care of me and gave me a job in his company but I decided not to take it...coding and computing and all that technical stuffs...ugh..boring..." he faked a yawn. more of a creative person, an artistic person, you know." he said flamboyantly.

What about your mother? Where is she now?" Mercedes asked.

Stevie was quiet for a while.

"Honestly, I don't know. I trust Sam knows though he has never mentioned her. When dad died and left us with that huge debt, she stopped contacting us and disappeared...I guess you can say, she ghosted us" he shrugged. "She was probably worried that we might ask her to help settle that debt"

"But, didn't you or Sam go looking for her? Maybe she has her reasons?" Mercedes asked. Though her own mother too had practically abandoned her and walked out of their family for another man, she can't believe that Sam's mother was like this too. As a mother-to-be, she could not imagine abandoning her own child for any reason whatsoever. Even if she was starving, she would never abandon her baby. She placed a protective hand on her belly.

"We couldn't find her after dad's funeral. We called her but the number was disconnected, then we went to her last known address and she had moved out in a hurry, there was no trace of her and we weren't exactly in the position to go searching everywhere for her at that time," he said.

He suspected Sam might have hired a private investigator to track down their mother over the years but he couldn't be sure."Although I am not a vengeful bitter person, I don't really want to seek her out, it was not like she ever did anything for us anyway, so I doubt that Sam, being as uptight as he is, would ever go see her even if he knows where she is," he said."She could be dead anyway," he shrugged nonchalantly.

"Enough about the Evans and our foggy parents... tell me, how did you meet Sam? Was it love at first sight?" he switched the subject.

She didn't know if she should actually tell her new brother-in-law that she had a one-night stand with a stranger, his brother, got knocked up, and now here she is. Since Stevie has been honest with her, she decided to tell him the truth.

Soon, the whole story about Puck and Sugar and later her meeting Sam came out. She cut out the lurid scenes, naturally. She mentioned the altercation briefly as a "misunderstanding" and that the wedding was cancelled because she changed her mind about marrying Sam.

Stevie was a good listener as he looked at her intently while she recounted her story. When she was done, he whistled. "Wow. You've been through a lot and my asshole brother is...well..an asshole," he said."Although a trip to Hawaii would have been awesome, dang, girl, I could've had a brief vacation there with all the pretty ladies there," he said jokingly.

"I am pretty certain Sam did something to make you change your mind...what did he actually do? You sort of skip much of that part..." he asked.

Mercedes took a deep breath and spilled it all out. Afterwards, she felt so relieved. It was all wadded up inside her, eating into her.

"So your suspicions were correct. He is an absolute asshole" Santana said.

"My brother...I love him dearly but he is a real piece of work that one", "The most shocking thing about all this is his insistence in marrying you,MJ," he said. He told her that after Kitty left Sam, his brother did not date anyone nor got involved with anyone. In fact, he had sworn off marriage entirely every time Stevie broached the subject.

"Mhm this kitty chick must have did a huge number on him, that's for sure" said Santana

"I could even say, she broke his heart" Stevie said."But then... the way he looks at you...that is different, I have never seen that look before and I am pretty certain he has never looked at Kitty that way" he pointed out.

"Oh damnit" Santana muttered under her breath checking her beeper

Mercedes turn her attention to her friend asking "what's wrong tana"

"I have a patient requesting me for some reason, sorry babe but I have to go. I love you chica" Santana said getting up from the table "it was nice to meet you Stevie, I already like you more then your fish lip brother"

"Um thanks, I guess lol and I was nice meeting you too... hopefully we can hang out sometime just me and you" Stevie said flirty and seductive

"I like you brother Evans, but not in that way. I'm so down with" she put up the piece sign and brings her Tongue in the middle of both fingers and wiggled

"Omg tana" Mercedes said laughing "so inappropriate"

"Hey I might can get down with that" Stevie said

"Hahaha I have to go and I have a hot date with Brittany tonight"

"Wait... WHAT, you never told me you were seeing her ohhhh missy we have to talk" Mercedes said to her friend

" yeahs we do... I'll see you soon. Byeeee"

"That girl is a mess"

"Yeah I like her, I can tell she's a great friend" said Stevie

"She is"

After the heart-to-heart talk with Stevie, Mercedes was feeling much lighter, as if a huge burden was lifted off her shoulders. It was nice to let it all out. It was also nice to have someone agree with her and yet did not push her to leave. Instead, Stevie had merely listened sympathetically and agreeing with her on what a douche Sam was. He also seemed to understand why she had decided to stay and marry Sam. Even she herself didn't really understand why she did what she did.

She had vented to Santana too but she kept some of the details from her friend, not wanting her friend to judge Sam too harshly. Her friend couldn't understand why she wanted to continue living with Sam and when she told Santana that she was marrying him, her friend had told her to reconsider it a few times.

"l don't even know why I married him today...and if I did a mistake," she finally said. Stevie reached over and patted her hand reassuringly.

"MJ We never know why we do certain things. Sometimes, our heart led us astray and sometimes, the path is obscured and you will finally find the right way one way or another," he said.

Phewww...that was deep stuff. Totally not my style! HAH!" he added. He then flippantly told her that marriage is just a piece of paper legalising their union."Heck, if it's a mistake, you can get a divorce easily nowadays, NBD" he said.

After that, Stevie was back to his fun easygoing personality, teasing her and cracking jokes, some of which inappropriate jokes with double entendres and sexual innuendos. They ordered dinner and after dinner, he escorted her back to the condo in her chauffeured car.

Remembering something, Mercedes asked why Stevie was not welcomed at the condo, while in the car.

"Ahhh...I knew I forgot something! Well...Kitty was living here at that time and she didn't really like me and trust me, the feeling's mutual, I always felt there was something fake and insidious about her:" he said.

He said he got into a huge tiff with Kitty over something trivial, about what he couldn't really remember, and Kitty had literally kicked him out, without telling Sam.

"I didn't want to tell Sam because I don't want to put him in a difficult position to choose between his brother and his fiancé, so I disappeared and had a hella fun time traveling the world, eating exotic food...and the women...ah...so many beautiful women and so little time!" he said.

"Anyhoo...after Kitty left him, he came searching for me and it turned out, she told him that I made a pass at her and she rejected me and told me to leave," he rolled his eyes in disgust. "Typical of Sam not to check with me for my version and to believe everything his precious Kitty said," he said bitterly.

"Did you tell him the truth?" she asked him. She doesn't have siblings but if she had a sister or brother, she would at least get their side of the story first. But then after how Sam accused her of being a gold digger, she was not surprised either. Sam tends to jump to conclusions easily and often take the easy way not to trust anyone.

Except Kitty. lt would seem he still trusted Kitty Miss fucking Perfect.

Stevie told her it was no use to say anything against Kitty. lt was as if she casted a spell on Sam and he will believe everything she said and take her word hook, line and sinker.

"But, you are his brother. Surely, he must trust you ore than her!" she exclaimed.

Stevie shrugged.

"Unfortunately, not according to douchey Sam logic. I hope he doesn't let that poisonous woman back in his life for too long...she is not good news," he warned her.

Mercedes is now worried. Kitty is living with them! Who knows what she has been saying to Sam when Mercedes is not around.

"Stevie, why don't you come stay with us?" she suddenly said on impulse. He would be a perfect antidote to Kitty's poisonous presence at the condo.

He looked taken aback.

"Really? But Her Highness Kitty pain-in-the-you- know-where will be there too right?" he asked cautiously.

She nodded. She told him that she and Sam will be away for the rest of the week but they will be back by the weekend and he can come stay with them.

"At least, with you there, I have someone on my side," she said.

He considered her request.

"I do have a place to stay you know...I have my very own condo and I don't really relish having Max breathing down my neck to go to work with him" he shuddered at the thought.

He patted her hand.

"I will have to reject your generous offer MJ...as tempted as I am to rub my presence there in Kitty's face...I would rather not be subjected to Sam's constant pressure for me to go to work" he said.

"Besides, she might have left by then...I mean, with you two officially married and a baby on the way, there's nothing else for her to do anymore, she might as well scram and look for greener, single, more gullible pastures," he added.

"For now, I will accompany you up to the condo and sit around till Sam comes home," he offered.

He kept to his promise and kept her company till almost midnight when Sam walked in. He appeared surprise to see them chatting and laughing comfortably at the living room but he did not say anything. There was no sign of Kitty the whole night too, much to both Mercedes and Stevie's relief.

"Well, I better be on my way now, MJ. You take care of my niece and I will see you when I see you," Stevie said, getting up. He gave his brother a slap on his back.

"Bro, just make sure you are not a douchey asshole to my dear MJ here, she's a special woman and you are so lucky to have her" he said before waving his goodbye and leaving

Then it was just her and Sam.

He shrugged off his jacket, unknotted his tie and pulled it off. Then he sat down next to her, putting his arm around her and hugging her close to him. He planted a soft kiss on her lips.

"So, what were you two chatting about, other than him telling you tall tales and colourful lies about me?" he asked conversationally.

She told him about the myriad stories Stevie regaled her with during the evening. She did not mention that he had also told her their family history. Sam might not like that since he has never broached the subject.

He seemed relaxed. He must have settled his urgent work matter, she thought. She leaned on his shoulder and snuggled close to him. Much as she enjoyed Stevie's company, Sam evoked a different set of feelings within her. Other than a deep sense of longing for his touch, she wanted his attention, his approval and most of all, his love.

She has to admit that she has rather strong feelings for her new husband and it wasn't just lust. Perhaps it was love. She wasn't even sure if this all-consuming need to be by his side all the time was love or just temporary insanity or pregnancy hormones. She will have to figure it out soon, before baby arrives. She will have to figure out what Sam actually feels for her too.

They chatted a bit more before Sam suggested they go up to her room after she started yawning and trying to hide her yawns. He took her in his arms gallantly and carried her effortlessly up the staircase. She fond in the feel of his arms around her and inhaled the familiar scent of her husband.

In her room, he placed her on the bed and undressed her gently, kissing every spot he revealed. Though tired from the eventful day, her senses awakened the his lips touched her bare skin.

Sam took his time to cover her with soft sensual kisses, from her shoulders down the swell of her belly, to the apex of her legs, down to her toes. By the time he reached her toes, she was already wriggling with burning hot desire and panting for him.

He was tender and gentle, as if taking this time to memorize every inch of her with his lips and hands. By the time he entered her, careful not to crush her underneath his weight, she was already on the verge of crashing over. It took him a few powerful thrusts to push her over edge and then she was screaming and calling out his name blindly, pulsing around his long hardness, scratching his back in ecstasy.

He groaned at the feel of her inner walls gripping him tightly and pulsating on him, her juices flowing freely.

But he was not done. He pulled her up and placed her on palms and knees, then he pushed into her from behind, gripping her hips tightly. She gripped the bedclothes and moaned as he filled her to the brim, touching her so deeply inside.And then he started moving, in slow measured thrusts, and she could feel the pressure building yet again.Then, it was as if he lost control.

He started thrusting into her hard and fast, grunting at every movement, perspiration dripping down his body. She was wet and tight around him, it was making him lose control.

"Sam, I'm cummin, oh Sam," she screamed as she climaxed again, so powerfully that she could feel her inner passage gripping Sam, sucking him in, and then he too climaxed.

"Oh my Merrrrcy!" he grunted gutturally, shooting his seed deep inside her and shuddering. He collapsed on the bed a few seconds later, pulling Mercedes with him, spooning her, both of them panting, their hearts racing together.
