Enjoy lovebugs. ;)

"S-Someone leaked the footage from last night Sam," Mercedes breathed out as she showed him her phone.

Sam grabbed the phone screen in shock, "Shit."

Sam read the headline and then grabbed his phone and like clockwork, his manager called him, "Yeah I saw it."

"Sam, what the hell were you thinking fighting him, what even happened?" Cliff questioned through the phone.

"Look, some things went down, at the end of the day I was protecting my wife," Sam spoke back.

"Well you need to make some form of an apology or statement, Sam you might be losing jobs in the future," Cliff stressed.

"Cliff, here is what is going to happen you are going to recover all of the footage, and you are going to let me enjoy spending time with my wife for the next week, and tell those boss executives if they want to fine till I am bankrupt it is more than fine. I will handle this on my own terms." Sam hung up the phone and turned to his wife who looked so spooked out. He walked over to her and pulled her into a hug.

"Hey, it's going to be ok, there is nothing for you to worry about," Sam whispered as he stroked her back and kissed the top of her forehead.

"Sam, your career, you have to come out with a statement, or I can, people are going to start telling their own stories eventually,"

"I don't give a damn about what stories they might try to pull out of their asses Mercedes all I care about is you. How do you feel?"

"I'm shaken up still, I just everything happened so fast and I should have never opened the damn door in the first place, but I thought it was room service, I don't know I just don't want to be reminded of the world if that makes sense," Mercedes mumbled out. Sam let that sink in for a minute. Their house wasn't located in a neighborhood in fact it was located in a remote location and was treated as their own little oasis. They were already far away from drama with their address being private. All he had to do was take their phones and shut them off and that is exactly what he did. He grabbed his phone and Mercedes and placed them on top of the fridge.

"They're out of sight out of mind, so I say we have breakfast and then we talk just you and me, just pure marital communication," Sam explained.

Mercedes let out a small smile, "Ok." Sam grabbed her hand and then grabbed the tray of the breakfast and led them to their bedroom where he passed Mercedes her plate and he took his. Once they were done eating he took the dirty dishes to the kitchen and headed back into the bedroom where he saw his wife holding the pregnancy test. He walked over to the bed and took a seat beside her.

"This was the first one I took, I had taken two more after this before going to the doctor to officially confirm it. I was scared, happy, nervous, and anxious. I have always wanted to be a mom and I know you are going to be the perfect dad, so when this came up I was ecstatic. I had already started planning how I was going to map out my breaks. I wouldn't go back out on the road until they were five, and I wouldn't start on a new project until they were two years old. I was going to be one of those mothers who had matching outfits. I thought maybe when we told the world we had a kid they would be around three but we wouldn't show photos to the world because there is no need to. I imagined that during labor I'd be cussing you out excessively and telling you how you would never touch me ever again and you would just laugh about it because we both know it isn't true. I had everything planned out how the room was going to look, how we would tell our parents and it felt like in just a solid single moment it was taken away from me. From us, and I don't know how to take that Sam. we aren't awful people, we haven't done anything wrong so why us? Why did we have to lose them, Sam," Mercedes said, towards the end of her explanation tears leaked from her eyes and Sam wiped his own before swiping at hers.

"I don't know baby, I don't know, you don't deserve any of this drama in our lives. I know how excited you were about being able to start your own family, and I know this loss took more of a toll on you than anything could, and I was not the biggest help at all. Leaving at early hours of the night for work and coming in when you were dead asleep missing dinners and quality dinners with you. I missed you, and I stopped seeing you. I made you feel alone, and that is something I can never forgive myself for. I know how much quality time and putting each other first means to you and I didn't do that for you, or for us. Mercedes Jones, I love you, more than I could life itself, and the thought of losing you causes me to freak out. I want you and only you, and I promise we will get through this together."

"What do you think they were going to be?" Mercedes whispered as she leaned into his side and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Hmm, maybe a boy, I think if it were a boy we should have named him Karson. He probably would have grown up to be some athletic stud and play football just like his daddy. What do you think they would have been?"

"A girl, I wanted to have a little baby girl, because I could pour into her what I lacked as a child, and it would have been nice to see how you would have shown up to every event for her no matter how big or small because you would have put her first"

"We're gonna get through this ok."

"Ok."
