Chapter 5
"Daddy... Wake up." Quinn whispered while she and Andrew tried waking Sam up. "Daddy. Andrew wants you to wake up." Quinn said and just when Sam opened his eyes, his little boy's face was in front of him, smiling.
"Hey, big boy. Good morning." Sam said. He kissed Andrew and sat up.
"How about Mommy?" Quinn said, acting like a little girl.
"Of course. Good morning, honey." Sam kissed Quinn on the lips as she kissed back. They didn't pull back for a little while until they heard a voice.
"Enough, you two. That's too long. There's a baby between you." Judy said, cooking breakfast.
They pulled back and Sam whisperedd, "You see what I mean?"
Quinn just giggled. "Okay, Andrew. Daddy needs to go the bathroom to brush his teeth. You want milk?" She said.
"Ma!" Andrew shouted.
"Good boy!" Quinn got up and placed Andrew on his chair.
It was the first day of school for Quinn and she was feeling really excited and at the same time, she was really worried about leaving her child alone. Not that she didn't trust her mother; it was just the first day for them to be separated ever since they got together.
Judy, on the other hand, was feeling really excited to spend the day with her first grandson. They weren't going anywhere but the bonding will still be there. She'll be leaving the next day so she has to make sure every second will count.
After lunch, Sam and Quinn left the house. Sam wanted to bring Quinn to school before he goes to work but then Quinn will be early for her class. Quinn agreed to do so since she doesn't mind being early and getting to know the place.
"I'm really sorry, babe. I know it's too early for you but I really wanted to drop you off."
"Sam, its fine. I don't mind. I'll just roam around the place so I won't get lost." She giggled.
"Do you want me to pick you up?"
"I'd love that, of course." She kissed him. "Good luck on your meeting. I love you."
"I love you too. Have fun." Sam said as he left.
Quinn exhaled before entering NYFA. He got inside and was surprised to see not so many students. Maybe they were already in their classes? She walked around and got familiarized with the place easily. She still has about 30 minutes before her class start so she decided to check out the library. It was really big and there were more students there. Some were reading but most of them were sleeping. She figured, she'll just wait in her classroom.
"340-A" She read in her registration form. She approached a student to ask where her classroom is. She got the direction but she was told that the classroom might still be locked or someone's using the classroom. She just went there to check.
When she got to the room, she peaked through the window and saw that the classroom was empty. She noticed that the doorknob kept twisting but it remained closed. She went closer to the door and she heard unexpected sound from the inside.
"Uhhh... Mhmm..." She got disturbed. She was thinking if she should just back off or if she should report this unusual incident. She leaned over and placed her hear on the door. Yep! That was it. She was right. They were doing it. She got disturbed as it was going to be her classroom in 15 minutes so she decided to just catch them on the act. She twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open. When she got inside, she saw the girl fell on top of the guy. The guy immediately pulled his pants up as the girl straightened her skirt and she obviously doesn't have her panties on.
"Brody?" Quinn said, surprised to see the guy who helped her be in that awkward situation. The girl ran outside when she saw Quinn standing right there.
"Hey. Uh... I'm sorry, I uh..." He didn't know what to say.
Quinn just laughed. "What were you doing?!"
Brody stood up and fixed his pants properly. "Wasn't it obvious?" He was feeling embarrassed.
"I meant, why? Why here? Did you not see how inappropriate and awkward that was?" She kept laughing.
"Well, for the record, she initiated it. I was just fixing my stuff until she kept saying things that seduced me. Next thing I know, we were having sex against the door."
She laughed harder. "Okay. That was really awkward but what the hell happened to your girlfriend?" She sat on one of the chairs and he just sat on the teacher's table.
Brody looked down. "We... Uh..." Quinn just looked at him and his eyes were getting a bit red.
"Are you okay?" She asked as her laughing face turned straight.
He shook his head and he started to cry. Quinn stood up and went to him. "Oh my God, I'm sorry." She rubbed his back. "You can tell me anything. I'm really sorry for asking."
Brody looked at her. "Gotcha." He gave her a big smirk and his crying stopped.
Quinn eyes widened. If her eyes could speak, her words would be "What?"
"I had my first acting class this morning and I was told that my acting was too good." He smiled and giggled at her.
Quinn slapped him on the arm.
"Ouch! What was that for?" Brody said, still giggling.
"For fooling me! I hate you." She turned around to go back to her seat.
He laughed harder. "I'm sorry, okay? But really. Me and my girlfriend aren't in good terms right now but I'm not cheating on her! That girl just seduced me and I got carried away." He sat beside her. "So, thank you. For pushing the door and knocking us over." He laughed and so did she.
"You shouldn't have done it in the first place, you know. Poor girlfriend of yours."
"I know. I'm sorry."
"Don't say sorry to me. Say sorry to your girlfriend." She raised her eye brow on him.
"Well, sorry for making you feel uncomfortable a while ago and on behalf of the women society in the world that includes my girlfriend... I'm sorry." He smiled at her.
"Apology accepted. But you still have to apologize to your girlfriend."
"I'll think about it. We're not okay right now and I don't want to make things worse. I'm a good guy, you know. I'm not what you think I am." He said.
"What do you think I think of you?" She asked.
"Cheater. Perv."
She laughed out loud. "I don't think that way. I've only known you for days. I don't judge."
"That's good. You can trust me, okay? I'm not gonna harass you or steal you from your man. I understood how he looked at me while we were buying at the antique store. If looks could kill, I would have died right there and then." He smiled.
"Honestly, you're right. We had a really big argument the moment you left but you weren't the only reason. I got jealous with a girl too but we settled everything. We just had to trust each other to avoid jealousy."
"That is true. I mean, you guys are engaged. The trust should be ten times better."
"We're working on that. I mean, after Andrew came into our lives, I have never loved Sam better."
"Andrew?" He asked, feeling curious.
"It's a long story. I wasn't pregnant but yes, Andrew's our child. Someone left him in a basket in front of our house and asked us to take care of him."
"That's cute. I'd love to meet him one day... I mean, if his dad allows me."
"Of course, he will. After what you told me today, I'm pretty sure you and Sam should be friends. I want him to be friends with my friends." She smiled at him widely.
"Well, it's an honour to be your first friend in NYFA." He extended his hand.
"What makes you think you're the first?" She raised her eye brow at him and smirked.
"Because... If you had one, you wouldn't be alone and I could've banged that lady 10 minutes ago."
Quinn laughed out louder and Brody laughed with her. "What's your schedule for today?"
"Well, my class right now would be Advance Visual Effects then Scriptwriting after, then that's it."
"What room are you in Scriptwriting?"
"250-B."
"See you later, classmate." Brody winked at her. He stood up and left the room as there were students coming in. Quinn watched as her classmates go inside the room. Some looked like the same as her age but some looked younger.
One sat beside her and they immediately clicked. Her name was Marley Rose. She was a shy type at first but when you get to know her, she speaks her mind a lot. Quinn was glad to know she has a friend that she can easily talk to.
"So, you're a mom?" She asked.
"Yes. I didn't get pregnant though. Andrew was brought to the front of our house in just a basket. The parent asked us to take care of him. Ever since then, Sam and I treated him as our own."
"That's amazing. I'd love to meet the little guy."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. When I bring him over, I'll let you see him before I drop him off to the nursery."
"Awesome. I'd love to meet Sam too. He seems to be a really sweet guy. I can't wait for your marriage."
"You're gonna have to wait for 2 years till the wedding. We don't plan on tying the knot till I finish school."
"Well, I hope we're still friends by that time. I'd love to go to your wedding."
"Of course, we will! As early as now, I'm telling you, you're invited." Quinn smiled at her as their conversation was interrupted by the teacher's announcement. They were given a syllabus on the outline of their subject for the whole semester.
Quinn's phone buzzed in the middle of her lecture class.
I'm on my way home, babe. Got my schedule and I start tomorrow. Better check on Mom and Andrew.
Great! I'm having fun with my class right now. I'll see you when I get home. Quinn replied.
I'll be there before 4:30
No need, Sam. Just stay there. I'll get home by myself. I'll be fine. :)
Are you sure babe? Be safe, okay. I love you.
Sam was about to get in the elevator but he stopped when he heard his name.
"Sam Evans!"
He turned around to see an unfamiliar face.
"Lloyd Harding." He extended his hand. Sam shook it and smiled at him.
"How did you know my name?" Sam asked as both of them got inside the elevator.
"Well, of course. I gotta know my opponents' names." Sam looked at him, confused at his term 'opponent'. "Just kidding, bro!" He added, smacking his arm in a joking way.
"I'm not looking for a fight bro. I'm just here to work." Sam said just to clear things out.
"I know. Same here."
"What do you do here?"
"Same as your job. I'm a studio photographer. We share the same job. Well, I got it first on my own. Then two weeks later, Ms. Shireman called me to tell me I'll be sharing my studio with someone named Sam Evans." His smirk was very unreadable. He didn't know if this guy was trying to make him quit or he was just opening up to him.
"I... I'll be looking forward to work with you." Sam just smiled as he didn't want to get into a fist fight and get fired just before he starts working.
Lloyd didn't respond as he got out of the elevator on the 2nd floor. The moment Sam was alone; he had to let out his anger.
"Fucking ass." He sighed. His day totally got ruined and he just needed to take a rest. When he got home, Andrew was taking a nap on their bed and Judy was reading a book beside him.
"Sam. You're home early." She whispered.
"Yeah. Just had a meeting with my boss. I start my work tomorrow." Sam said as he kissed his son on the head.
"Well, that's good cause I have some news for you... I need to leave tonight."
"Back to Ohio?"
"Yes. There's just a tiny emergency at work back there and my boss needs me tomorrow morning. My flight is at 7 tonight."
"Oh, okay. Well, Quinn will be back here in about an hour so... We'll just bring you to the airport."
"I do have a surprise for you guys though."
"Yeah? What is it?"
"I got you a small television set outside. Didn't you see that?" Sam tried to remember but he guessed, he was too pissed off to notice anything. "I got a good deal on this site where they give you 10% off if you're a real estate agent. I bought it the moment I saw the promo."
Sam looked at her and smile. "Thanks, mom. We really appreciate everything."
"My grandson needs at least something to entertain him. Buy the Barney Ultimate Special. Quinn loved that when she was a baby."
Sam laughed at the thought of his fiancé watching Barney all night. "I'll make sure we get a copy of that soon."
"Sam, here we go again. I'm not gonna see my daughter for the next couple of months. Please do take care of her. Also my grandson. I don't have anyone to trust them on in this city."
"Mom. Don't worry. I love them both just as you love them. I'll do everything I can to keep them safe."
They get into a more deep and heart to heart talk about the girl they both love so much.

Quinn sat in her next classroom and she seems to be looking for her only classmate she knows. She kept looking from side to side until she saw him enter the room. When Brody saw her sitting on the left side of the room, he went to sit beside her.
"There you are!" Brody said.
"Here I am." Quinn smiled.
"How was your class back there?"
"Fine. Met a friend which was a good start." She laughed.
"That's good. Now you have 2 friends. 2 friends in one day. What a badass." He joked.
Quinn laughed. "I know. Be careful, you might just see me smoking pot behind the building with pink hair and a nose ring."
"That would be pretty hot though." He said.
"Not gonna happen." She then turned her focus on to the teacher who was introducing herself. They were given the syllabus again for the subject and were told that they need to write a script for their midterm requirement. Quinn felt really excited as she had a lot of ideas in mind. Brody wasn't really paying much attention to the teacher. He was just doodling on the right page of Quinn's notebook while she was writing notes on the left page.
When class was over, Quinn noticed Brody's drawing on her notebook.
"Wow. You drew this?" She asked before keeping her notebook in her bag.
"Maybe." He giggled.
"You're really good. It looks just like me!" She was really surprised.
"Not really! You're prettier." Brody smiled.
"Shut up. Why didn't you take up Fine Arts? You could really beat that Mona Lisa painting!" She said, as she stood up to go out of the room. Brody followed her.
"My dad would hate me if I took that course."
"Why's that so?"
"Cause he'll think I'm not part of the family."
"What?" Quinn was confused.
"My dad's a broadway director. My mom and sister are theatre actors and my brother is stage play writer. If I took up something that's not related to that, I'd be even more of a stupid to my family." Brody's mood went down but he was trying to keep a smile on his face.
Quinn felt sad with his story. She didn't know his background was this emotional. "You'd be even more of a great person if you took up what you're really passionate about."
Brody just slightly giggled at her theory. "I don't know. I mean... I learned to love acting anyway. I guess it's in the blood."
"You shouldn't really hide in your family's shadow. I mean, you can be your best in your own craft. Based on that drawing, I know you can be." She gave him a comforting smile.
"Thanks, Quinn. I really appreciate it but... As of now, I'm stuck with the goal of making my parents' proud in their craft." He smiled. "Do you want to go grab a coffee before heading home?" He asked.
"You know, I'd love to but... My family's waiting for me at home..."
"Oh, yeah. I forgot. Baby boy." They both laughed. "How about a ride home? I can drop you off there." He offered again.
"Look... Brody. I don't want to sound rude but... Sam's my fiancée. I don't think he'll be happy to find out that a guy from my school would bring me home. I hope you understand." She explained.
He felt embarrassed for even trying. "Of course, yeah. Sorry. Let me just walk you outside the building. Would that be okay?"
Quinn sighed, not wanting to sound mean. "Okay." She smiled as they walked to the hallways.

Quinn entered the house and when she opened the door of their room, she saw Sam and Judy packing while Andrew was playing on his crib.
"Mom? What's going on?" She asked.
She stood up from the bed. "Honey, I've been called to go back sooner by my boss. I need to be at the office by 8 in the morning, tomorrow so I have to leave in an hour and a half."
"Oh, that was fast." She was surprised by her mother's news. "I'll just take a quick shower and we'll take you there." She carried Andrew first and kissed him before heading to the bathroom.
When she got inside, Sam noticed her face. "She doesn't look good about it." He said to Judy.
"I know... She'll be fine. I know my daughter. She's stronger than she think she is." Judy tried to smile and went back to packing.
After preparing everything, they were off to the airport. Sam played a lot with Andrew on the way to the airport and Judy was busy using her phone while Quinn hasn't said a word since before going in the shower.
Sam noticed his fiancé's mood change but decided to not speak on it. He had a feeling that if he opens it up with her, she'll start to cry. They got to the airport on time with 30 more minutes to spare. They were just waiting for Judy's flight on the bench. Sam was busy playing with little Andrew while Quinn was looking busy, trying to read a book.
"Sam, why don't you check out the toy store over there? Andrew looks like he wants to be there." Judy said.
"Uh, what?" He looks confused cause Andrew was busy with his lips. Andrew became the biggest fan of those giant lips ever since he saw them.
"Now." Judy ordered. Her eyes gave him enough explanations on why he needs to leave them for a while.
"Yeah, okay. We'll be back in a while." Sam stood up and left the mother and daughter.
Judy faced her but she was still busy reading the book.
"Quinn. Talk to me. What's wrong?" She asked.
"What do you mean? Nothing's wrong." Her eyes were locked on her book.
"I know you, sweetie. I know something's wrong. There's something you're not telling me."
Quinn just looked at her and the way her mother looked back at her was enough to put tears in her eyes. She didn't cry yet, though. Her eyes just became watery.
"I'm scared, Mom. I feel so scared." She finally said it.
"What are you so scared about?" Judy became worried.
"Please don't tell Sam."
"I won't, honey. I won't. What is it?"
"When you got here... I feel SO... relieved." She confessed. "I... I'm so used to having you always beside me. This city felt a little smaller when you came. I lost all the fear of what ifs."
"Are you saying..."
"I don't know, mom." She started to tear up. "I love Sam, mom. I love him so much...and I couldn't think of any better future than with him. I think I'm read. I KNOW... I'm ready."
"Then what are you so scared of, honey?"
"Growing up. Taking responsibilities...without you." Her crying doesn't stop. "What if I'm not a gonna be a good wife...a good mother to Andrew. It's all coming at me so fast."
Judy had to hold her right there and then. She knew her daughter needed that mother's touch. She released her after a while. "You're gonna be a great wife and even a better mom, okay? Your love for Sam and Andrew will help you with these responsibilities. Part of growing up is facing these responsibilities and not running away from them."
"I just don't want to disappoint Sam. I think I need you, mom. I can't do it alone." She kept crying.
"Look, Quinn. There will always be a time when a mother needs to let go of her daughter. You have grown to be a beautiful and strong woman and I know... If I let you go, you'll be even better. The best you can be." She kissed her daughter on the head. "Also... You're not alone. That's what Sam is here for. You are a team. You're gonna work together to make it through this city...for your family... For Andrew."
She hugged her mother tight. "I love you, Mom. So much."
"I love you, too Quinn. You'll be fine, I promise you. No matter how old you get... you'll always be my little girl." With that, Judy's flight was called for boarding. "It's time." She said. "I'll call you from time to time."
Quinn just nodded and smiled.
"Stop crying, okay? The last time I saw you cry like that was when I accidentally mixed your pink dress with the white ones on the laundry when you were 7." She giggled.
"And I still haven't forgotten about that." She laughed too.
Sam and Andrew got back soon enough. "Mom, it's boarding time."
"Yeah." She stood up and reached for Andrew. "It's time to say goodbye, Andy." Judy has her own nickname for her grandson.
Sam said his goodbye to Judy, too and didn't notice Quinn wiping away her tears.
"I'll see you guys on Thanksgiving okay?" Judy said, hugging Sam.
"Of course, mom. Have a safe flight."
"Take care okay?" He returned Andrew to Sam and faced her daughter. "Come here, honey."
Quinn remained quiet and just hugged her mother tight. Judy kissed her daughter. "I love you, okay? I'll see you soon." After that she went on to board.
"Mom!" She shouted and Judy turned around. "I love you." She continued with a cracking voice.
She smiled at her and went inside the plane. Quinn was just staring at where her mother boarded for about 3 minutes until she felt Sam hold her on the waist. She turned to face him.
"Let's go?" She said before he could even speak. Sam just nodded and held her hand on the way out of the airport.
It was a pretty quiet night during dinner. Quinn was still quiet though Sam had a lot of stories. When Sam noticed her quiet reactions, he finally asked what's wrong.
"Do you want to tell me what's wrong?" He asked.
"What?"
"You've been like this since you got home. Did something happen?"
"I'm sorry babe. I just... I think I'm just tired."
"You miss your mom, don't you?" He guessed.
Her soft tears proved him right. Sam held her hand and kissed it. "I'm here with you, okay? I won't leave you. We're gonna make it together okay?"
Quinn smiled but her tears don't stop. "I've had enough pep talks with my mom a while ago and I think I've shed enough tears for the day." She giggled.
Sam stood up and held her close in an embrace. "I love you, okay? So much."
"I love you, too Sam. You know that." She hugged him too.
"Ma!" The little boy tried to join in the conversation which made both of them laugh.
"Of course! How could we forget this little man?" Sam said as he carried Andrew from his baby chair. Quinn stood up and hugged her family.
Dinner became a little lighter then. Quinn was somehow slowly getting back to herself. A little while later, Andrew went on to snoozing land. Quinn cleaned the dishes while Sam took a quick shower. After the kitchen duties, Quinn took a bath too. When she was finished, she went out and dried her hair while sitting on her desk. Sam was playing Candy Crush on his phone.
"Babe, I had a good talk with Brody today."
"That little boy from the antique store?"
Quinn laughed. "He's not a little boy. But yes. That guy you were jealous about."
"Why did you talk to him?" He asked.
"Well, he's my friend and he opened up about you. He said he knows how you feel about him. He even made it clear that you shouldn't be worried cause him and I are just friends."
"Yeah, right. He's just too weak to fight."
Quinn laughed at how he's acting like a little boy. "He wants to meet Andrew. He says he finds our family very adorable."
"I don't care. I still don't like that guy. There's no way I'm letting my son meet that little boy." He's pouting like a little boy who lost his toy.
Quinn stood up and sat on the bed and faced him. "I also caught him a while ago, you know. He was doing the dirt with some girl against the door." Her giggling was turning him on.
"What an inappropriate place to do it but that sounds hot." He gave her that sexy smirk that she loves so much.
Quinn pulled Sam closer to her by grabbing him on the neckline of his shirt. Their faces were just inches away from kissing. "You want that?" She whispered.
"Mhmmm. My wife is such in a mood tonight." He whispered back and gave her a quick kiss. She was caught off guard but she liked it anyway.
She leaned forward and they started to kiss. The kissing stopped sooner than expected when Quinn pulled back. Quinn placed something on Sam's hand and whispered, "Take me to door, Sam."
Sam opened his eyes and was surprised to see Quinn's panties on his hand. It was time he thought. Sam lifted Quinn and brought her against the door. The make out started to become really steamy. Quinn's legs were wrapped around his waist and his strong arms were giving support to her butt. She was leaning back against the door and her arms were wrapped around his neck. He started taking off his shirt and started removing Quinn's night gown until they heard Andrew mumbling.
"Sam... Andrew's waking up." She said in between kisses.
"He's fine. He'll go back to sleep." He started pulling down his boxers.
Quinn thought the same and they continued making out but Andrew didn't think the same. Andrew continued crying.
"Sam... He's not stopping." She didn't stop kissing, though.
"He'll stop later." Sam said was about to do it with her when Andrew's cry became louder. That's the time when Quinn pulled back. "Remember our agreement, Sam? Baby comes first before anything."
Sam stopped trying to pleasure his fiancé. "Fine..." He brought Quinn back to her feet and pulled his boxers up while Quinn wore back her night gown.
"Andrew, mommy and daddy were trying to get busy. What's wrong?" He told his son as he checked the diapers. Yeap, there's a problem. "Oh, wow. I lost my boner seeing that." He said.
Quinn laughed out loud. "Let's get this little boy cleaned up and we call all go to sleep."
"Sleep?! Already, Mommy?!" Sam said. Quinn loved it when he calls her mommy. It gives her the confidence on being a mom.
"Yes, Daddy. Sleep. We can get busy some other time. Little Andrew will official be an Evans tomorrow. Isn't that right, honey?" Quinn said, calming her son.
"Fine. You're on diaper change tonight then." Sam teased, acting childish.
"Excuse me?" She said, raising an eye brow on Sam like a mother. She didn't like his tone and most certainly, his order.
Sam laughed. "I'll put him to sleep, Ma'am."
"That's what I thought." Quinn giggled with that. She just loves her family so much.
