Chapter 4

That Sunday became the first official family day for them. Sam and Quinn decided to put on baby Andrew's park outfit and went out for a picnic. Quinn couldn't help but blush at how adorable her little baby was. She kept hugging and kissing him while Sam took lots of pictures of his family. They packed some snacks, fruits and drinks to bring at the park. While shopping the other day, Sam found a little ball at the mall which he thought Andrew would love. He was right and Andrew kept playing with it ever since.

Andrew wasn't hard to take care of. He wasn't the crying type. He would only cry when he's alone, he wants food or there's something going on inside his diapers. He slept peacefully and woke up a couple of minutes after his parents wake up. He easily got used to his parents too. He loves playing with Sam's mouth and he smiles a lot when Quinn carries him. Andrew loves to play around with his parents too. Just before they left for the park, Andrew was like testing his mother. Sam was taking a bath while Quinn fixed and prepared their picnic basket. Andrew was seated in his baby chair while playing with his ball and watching his mother pack stuff.

Andrew drops his ball on the floor and looked at it. Quinn picked it up and gave it back to him with a smile. She went back to finish the sandwiches.

Andrew drops the ball again and looked at it again. Quinn picked it back up and gave it again. "It's okay, honey." She smiled at him.

When Quinn went back to her work, Andrew dropped the ball again. It looked like he was actually doing it on purpose. Quinn picked it back up and gave it to him. "Andrew, mommy's busy. Play time later okay? I promise." She kissed him on the head.

Quinn went back to the sandwiches and let Andrew play with the ball. Unfortunately, the baby wasn't happy about it. "Ahh!" He shouted, throwing the ball on the floor.

"Andrew, that's bad. Don't throw the ball." Quinn picked it back up but didn't give it back yet. She talked to her son. "Andrew, are you mad? You're not supposed to throw the ball okay? Just play with it." Quinn said and the baby was just staring at her. "Answer me, Andrew Michael Evans." She knows he knows how to respond when Quinn talks to him like that.

Andrew was staring at his mother but then, grabs her nose with his hands. This made Andrew giggle. Quinn couldn't help but smile at her baby's laughter. She kissed him on the lips. "Okay, honey. I'll just finish packing our stuff then we'll play." She gave back the ball and finish preparing their stuff as fast as she can.

After a while, Sam went out of the room all geared up for their family day. He played with Andrew so that Quinn can finish fixing the picnic basket. After a while, they left for the park.

That night, Quinn and Sam had a conversation after dinner while watching over Andrew rolling on his play mat.

"Babe, I forgot to tell you. I already told Kurt about the baby." Sam said.

"What? Why?" Quinn was surprised. She didn't want anyone knowing about Andrew until the papers are fixed and everything as it might reach their parents' ears.

"I just needed to ask him okay? I was thinking... We should get a referred doctor than some random one for Andrew. Once they found out that we haven't officially adopted him. Child support might get him from us in just a snap. I'm just trying to be safe." Sam explained.

Quinn understood his intentions then. "What did Kurt say?"

"Well, at first he kept shouting. He said, he's excited to meet Andrew. He'll be willing to design his clothes by his first birthday." They both laughed. "I also asked if he knows any doctor around so we can schedule Andrew's check up tomorrow."

"And?" She asked.

"His boss knows someone. We have a scheduled appointment tomorrow at 2pm, Dr. Miller."

"Does the doctor know about Andrew?"

"Not really, I just told Kurt that we'll explain it tomorrow."

"Ok, great. I'm actually terrified." She said, trying to play with Andrew.

"Of what?"

"I don't know...what if, the favour won't be in our hands? What if... Andrew won't be officially ours? Especially, we're not yet married. Are we even qualified?" She let out all her worries.

Sam grabbed her hands. "Hey. Look, we'll work this out. I mean, we didn't...steal the baby. Someone left it for us to take care of. We're just doing them a favour. It's just that, the baby's ours. He's our baby, okay?" He tried to make Quinn calm.

"I hope so. I mean, I don't plan on giving him up anymore." Quinn carried Andrew. "The moment I looked into his eyes, I knew we have some kind of connection. Like, heaven sent him to us." Andrew started to suck his thumb then and was about to doze off.

"Of course, he is. I'm gonna fix everything okay? I'll look for help so we can adopt him officially." They sealed it with a kiss on the lips. After a while, Andrew was fast asleep. They decided to call it a night too as it has been a tiring day for the Evans family.

Morning came and Sam has to go to Vogue to fix his papers. When he woke up, Quinn was already feeding Andrew at the dining area. He needs to be in Vogue by 10 am to fix his papers. Quinn has decided to play with Andrew while Sam is away. He got to the office just in time to fix all the requirements and information. He met with his boss first, Lara Shireman, before going to the HR and the other offices. When finished everything at about 12 noon. He felt so tired from going to places with his papers. She went back to his boss' office to get his weekly schedule but when he was about to enter her office, she went out.

"Oh, hey Sam."

"Ma'am. I just got done with my files, I'm sorry. I guess I'll just get my schedule after lunch." Sam explained.

"No need, Sam. Come, let's have a lunch meeting. We'll fix your schedule there." Lara said, as she started walking.

"I really don't want to bother you on your break time but..."

"No more buts!" She said. "Let's go. You should try the restaurants at the ground floor."

Sam didn't have any choice so he followed her. Trying to keep up the good husband attitude, he texted Quinn.

Lunch meeting for my weekly schedule. I'm sorry, I'll be there soon. I love you!

They went down to a Chinese restaurant located inside the building. It did look kinda fancy but he didn't mind. He checked the prices and they were enough for his budget.

"You like it here?" She asked.

"Yeah. It looks nice. I hope the food is good too." He smiled.

"Well, you're in for a treat. This is probably the best Chinese restaurant in town. Plus, Vogue employees get 20% discount."

"That's awesome. Good thing I got my ID today." He said, as they ordered. While eating, Lara opened up about a certain topic.

"So... How's the wife?"

"She's good. Better than ever. She starts school tomorrow."

"That's great. You know, we could arrange your schedule the way you want it to." She said.

"Really?"

"Yeah. So that you and your lucky girl can have balanced time with each other."

"That's amazing! Thank you for everything...really. You're making my job easier though I think you shouldn't." Sam said.

"Well, of course. It's good that I make my employees' job easier. It makes the job ten times better!"

"I promise. You won't regret accepting me here. I'll do my best."

Lara just smiled. "I was thinking...maybe we could get to know each other for a while. You know... Employee to Boss. Homie to homie." She laughed. "We'll fix your schedule after lunch upstairs." She smiled at him.

"Uhh..." Sam looked down.

"Is there a problem?" She asked.

"I actually... I have some things to work out at 2 pm. Quinn's waiting for me at home."

"Strict wife?" She giggled.

He knew he couldn't keep it a secret anymore. He had to tell his boss to have a better schedule. "I have to tell you something but can you promise you won't tell anyone."

His face looked really serious so Lara placed her hand on top of his and Sam looked at it. He moved his hand as if he was scratching his face. "I have a son..."

"Already?" She asked, feeling a bit surprised.

"Well... Quinn just saw the baby in front of our place in a basket. We've decided to keep him as the note with him asked us to take care of him."

"So you adopted him?"

"Yes...well, not yet officially. We still have to settle some papers. We haven't told anyone yet. Not even child support."

"D o you have a lawyer to help?"

"No. Nothing. I'm still trying to figure out how to fix everything."

Lara went silent for a while. Trying to think of what to say. "I...may know someone from the agency who can fix the papers easily."

Sam looked at her instantly. "Oh my God. You do? Can I ask for his contact? I really need to fix Andrew papers soon."

"Yeah... Uhm... Let me... Let me just check." She said as she dialled the number.

"Hey, Carlo."

"Yeah. It's me. Lara Shireman. I kinda need some help for uhm..." She looked at Sam. "...my friend about adoption."

"Yeah...well, the parent just left it in front of their house. It had a note saying like they were giving up the child."

"Okay. Oh, I see. Yeah. Awesome." She held the phone down. "When are you guys free?" She asked Sam.

"Anytime! I mean... Whenever the time is free."

"How about on Wednesday?" She asked.

"Quinn has classes from 9 to 3. But I'll try to convince her."

Lara went back on the line. "There's a slight problem for Wednesday. The wife will be busy from 9 till 3."

"Oh, okay."

"Sam, will you be okay to go there at 4 in the afternoon? Wednesday is his only free time."

"Yeah. Of course. We can."

"Okay, it's good Carlo. Thanks." After a while, she hung up.

"Wednesday, 4pm at the Regis building downtown. Look for Carlo Durant. He'll personally fix your files."

"That's great. Thank you so much, Ma'am. For everything. I owe you a lot. I promise to make it up to you one day." He laid his hand on her shoulder.

"Sam. Call me Lara. I don't want to be too formal." She smiled at him.

"Thank you, Lara." He smiled back. He checked the time and saw it was already 1 in the afternoon. "Look, I really have to go now. We have a doctor's appointment by two and Quinn's waiting for me at home." He pulled out some cash from his wallet and placed it on the table.

"No, Sam. Keep it. I got this." She was about to put the money to his pocket but he stopped her.

"No. Please. After everything you've done, let me pay for lunch. Okay?" He gave her a smile that nobody could say no.

Lara smiled at him as a sign of agreement.

"Okay, I really have to go. I'm sorry." He was about to walk away but she stopped him.

"Sam! Your schedule!"

"Oh, shit. I forgot. Uhh... Can you just send it to my email? If that's not too much to ask."

"But I thought, we're gonna fix it the way you want it?" She reminded him.

"Just send me whatever's made. I'll be fine with it. I won't ask for anything more."

"How bout we just schedule another meeting for tomorrow at 1pm?" She suggested.

"Uhh..." He thought about it.

"Okay, forget it. I'm your boss and it's an order. Meeting tomorrow at 1." She smiled at him.

Sam decided to just smile back. "Alright, boss. Thank you. See you!" He said, as he ran off.

"Be safe, Sam!" She tried to shout but he wasn't able to hear it anymore as he was out of the building in just seconds.

Sam forgot his key of the house so he just rang the bell. After 2 rings, Quinn opened the door while carrying Andrew.

"There's my boy!" Sam said grabbing Andrew but Quinn pulled the baby back. "What?" He asked.

"Sam, we kinda have a problem. I think I should hold Andrew for a while. You might drop him when I tell you about it." Quinn said.

"What's wrong?" He asked, confused at what she said. Suddenly, a familiar lady went out of their room. A lady he was so scared of. "MOM." Sam said, seeing Judy Fabray walk out from the room. Ever since they got engaged, he has been calling her mom, too. He instantly held on the door knob thinking about the 47 knives Judy has in her house.

"Samuel, it's nice to see you again." She smiled at him. He became really nervous as he couldn't read the smile she was giving him.

Sam tried to speak but there weren't any words coming out of his mouth.

"It's okay, babe. I explained everything to her." Quinn tried to calm the shaking Sam.

"Yes, Sam. Apparently, the Lord has delivered the baby to the both of you. I'm glad you didn't break your promise to me. We should keep up with our boundaries, right?" She still has that unreadable smile on her face.

Sam just smiled at her and exhaled deeply. "Welcome to New York." He greeted and hugged his soon to be mother in law.

"Release the nerves, Sam. You're sweating too much!" Judy said as Quinn laughed.

"I guess, you've met your grandson." He said.

"Oh, please! I don't want to hear that term. I feel too old! But of course. The most adorable baby boy in the world!" Judy said as she grabbed Andrew from his mother. "Aren't you the cutest, huh?" She said, as Andrew kept grabbing Judy's mouth.

"Andrew loves Granny." Quinn kept saying but Judy tries to shrug it off. Andrew, being the most adorable baby, was giggling as his mother and grandmother kept playing with her but when he saw Sam, he tried to reach for his daddy.

"Oh! He wants his daddy." Judy said and passed him to Sam. Sam reached for his son and kissed him.

"You missed Daddy?" He asked but Andrew just kept playing with his lips and starts giggling. He started walking towards the couch and sat.

Quinn followed Sam and sat beside him. "How was the meeting?"

"Very well. I have tons of good news. Have you guys eaten lunch already?" He asked.

"Yeah. Mom brought some salad over from the airport." She said as she was rubbing Andrew's back.

"Have you told him already, Quinnie?" Judy interrupted their conversation.

"Told me, what?" Sam asked.

"Oh... Uh, mom's staying for 3 days..."

"What?!" Sam quietly shouted at Quinn. "Are you serious?!" It wasn't that Sam hated Judy. He just knows there will be a big wall between him and Quinn when she's around. No PDA and no privacy.

"It's just for three days, Sam. I couldn't say no." She whispered.

"Where will she sleep?" Sam asked.

"I hope you don't mind sleeping on the couch, honey." Judy said and Sam's eyes just went wider on Quinn. "I'll take a shower for a while then rest. Jetlag's killing me!" She said as she dragged her luggage to the room.

"Quinn?!" Sam said, the moment the bedroom door closed.

"Look, babe. I had no choice. She's here already. She also agreed to baby sit Andrew while we're out. It was a good deal anyway."

"What about us, Quinn? You know how she gets in between us when the three of us are here. Separate beds. Awkward moments. No sex..."

"I know, I know." Quinn held his arms. "It's just for three days, Sam. Please. For me."

He just looked at her. "Like I can say no to you."

She kissed him on the lips. "I love you. Thank you."

"Of course. I love you too."

"I promise we'll do it as many times as you want the moment she goes back to Lima." She whispered which made both of them laugh.

"We better leave now. It's almost two." Sam said, checking the time.

"Alright, I'll just get my purse." She said and went inside the room. After a while, they went to the clinic to have the check up.

They waited outside for a while as they were asked to fill out the form. They actually had a hard time filling out the form as they were confused with some of the questions. Luckily, they didn't have to submit the form until they were called inside.

Andrew had some tests for the weight, height and everything else. After some more tests, they finally got to sit down and talk with the Doctor.

"Good afternoon, parents. How are you?" Dr. Cassandra Miller asked.

"We're good, we're good. To start off, doctor... We actually have to clear something out to you." Quinn started. "Andrew...isn't actually our own. He was just left in front of our house the other day and the note told us to keep him."

"Oh... Okay. I get you. Looks like we're gonna start from scratch." The doctor said.

"Yes..."

"Okay, well. As of now, I have to tell you. Everything's fine with the baby. Nothing's wrong so you don't have to worry about anything. Keep doing what you've been doing." The doctor smiled.

"Great. Are there any suggestions on what needs to be done and not? All we know is he's 4 months old."

"Well, at 4 months old. He's going to be growing more. He'll be more observant and he'll be more playful. It will be like he's gonna figure out everything he can do especially through taste. I suggest you avoid small things around him. Crawling might come soon but as of now, I'm guessing all he does are the rolls and tummy time."

"What about food? We've been feeding him gerber and light oats for the past 2 days." Sam said.

"That is fine. I suggest, continue with that and try solid food on the 6th month. Anyway, you'll be back on 5th month. We'll see how much progress he's been doing."

They talked more about the do's and don'ts on Andrew. After a while, it was time to go home. On the ride home, Sam remembered to tell her about the good news he got from the office.

"I totally forgot to continue my story a while ago. I have tons of good news babe." Sam said.

"Tell me."

"Well, first. I have to say this my boss is a woman...but no worries. My heart is set on you. Plus, he's just my boss. I'm working at a fashion office so lady bosses are inevitable."

"Okay, I'll just forget about what you said and wait for the good news."

"Well... You're gonna love my boss. She just got us a meeting with a guy from an agency for Andrew's adoption." He gave her a smirk.

"That's amazing! I guess your boss and I are gonna be in good terms." She joked.

"Yeah, and not only that. She allowed me to fix my schedule for work the way I want it to. She said, I should balance my time with your schedule so we won't have a hard time especially with Andrew. I have another meeting with her tomorrow by 1."

"Oh, okay. Cool. I'll just go to school on my own so you won't be late."

"No, I'll go with you. I mean, if it's okay for you to be there a bit earlier."

"Yeah, of course. Plan solved." Andrew was sucking on his milk bottle during their conversation and when he was finished, he dropped the bottle and started making noises. Sam picked it up and placed it in the bag.

"Good job, baby. All full." Quinn said and Andrew responded for the first time with words both Sam and Quinn never thought they'd hear sooner.

"Ma..." Andrew said, poking on Quinn's cheek.

"Sam... Did you hear that?" Both of them were surprised.

"Yeah! He said 'Ma!'"

"Andrew, say Mommy." Quinn requested.

"Ma..." He repeated which made Quinn squeal. It was awkward cause they were both celebrating inside the cab while the driver looked annoyed. He wasn't a very happy man.

"Andrew, how about Daddy?" Sam tried.

"Ma..." He repeated as they agreed that maybe, Ma is just a good start. Take things nice and slow.

They got home at about 5pm and shared the good news to Judy as she was awake already. Quinn started preparing for Dinner while Sam and Judy play with Andrew as they talk about random stuff. Dinner was served after a while and Sam left for the resto-bar he's performing.

Sam got home at about 10:30pm and everyone was almost asleep except for Quinn who waited for him. He got inside and took a quick shower and Quinn waited for him to finish. After freshening up, Sam went out to the living room and Quinn followed her.

"Go on, babe. I'll be fine here. Take a rest." Sam said, fixing his new bed which was their couch.

"I miss you already." Quinn said, helping him with the blankets.

"Come here." Sam pulled her into an embrace. "I love you." He whispered, kissing her forehead.

"I don't think I'll be able to sleep properly tonight. I need my baby beside me."

"Andrew's asleep in his crib. Let him stay there. He looks relaxed."

"Not him, Sam. My first baby." She looked at him with a smirk and they both giggled.

"If only your mom wasn't a few feet away from us, I'd have you sleep here beside me...and maybe not sleep till later." He winked and Quinn laughed a bit louder, understanding what he meant.

"I'd love for a quickie, but I don't want to get caught like high school kids."

"I'm fine with getting caught. I'll keep going."

Quinn laughed out louder. "You dirty, sneaky boy."

"As if you aren't one?" He teased back.

"I've been thinking, babe... What do you think about twins?"

"Wow, twins. Do you want that?" Sam asked.

"I don't know. Maybe. A girl and a boy. Little Quinn. Little Sam...with big lips." She joked. "Wouldn't you want twins?"

"I'm fine with anything as long as you're the mother and I'm the father. We'll see, babe. If fate goes our away, I guess a little Trouty Mouth would look adorable."

She laughed. "But as of now, Andrew's our main focus. I want more but right now, I'm happy with just little Andrew."

"I guess Andrew would want to be a big brother too."

She giggled. "I hope so. I better go inside now, okay? Mom might think we're doing it." She joked.

"Let her think about the truth."

"Sam!" She lightly slapped his arm. "I love you, babe. Goodnight." A quick make out needed to happen before separating. After that, they went on the snoozin' land.
