Chapter 6
SORRY FOR THE LATE UPLOAD! I was supposed to update this last week and if you don't know, I was in a car accident last week and was not able to write a chapter. I'll try to make a longer one for this chapter to make up for the long wait. Thanks for the continued support on this story. A lot more stories and surprises to come! And for those who are asking, YES. You will know who Andrew's real parents are and it's a really heartbreaking and surprising storyline :) So stay tuned if you want to find out! For the meantime, enjoy this chapter!
It's been 2 long and stressing weeks for the Evans family. It all started when Sam and Quinn went to the agency to officially adopt little Andrew. It wasn't a long wait in the office but when they got there, they found out that the person they were supposed to meet wasn't available. However, their papers were transferred to another head of the office. After waiting for about 15 minutes, they were called inside.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Stack." Quinn greeted as the family went inside the room.
Mr. Stack turned around and Quinn was surprised to see that Mr. Stack wasn't quite a stranger.
"Henry?" She asked with a surprising look.
"Uh... yeah?" He asked.
"Henry?" Sam asked but he was facing Quinn.
"Okay, this is kinda creepy but... Have we met?" Henry laughed as he asked the couple.
"Don't you remember me?" Quinn asked. "Peanut butter and cheese with ketchup sandwich?" She added.
"Oh my God. Lucy?!" Henry finally remembers.
"Lucy?" Sam asked, looking at Mr. Henry Stack.
"Yeah! You remembered!" Quinn went up to him and embraced him.
"Okay, am I the only one confused here?!" Sam asked the baby he's carrying and Andrew just laughed at him.
"How are you? How have you been?" Henry asked as they moved away from the hug.
"I'm good. Really good. How about you? I didn't know you're in New York!" Quinn said and tapped him on the arm.
"I didn't know you're now called Quinn! What happened to Lucy?" He replied laughing as both of the heard a loud intentional cough from behind.
"Oh, Sam. Come here. This is Henry. He was my only friend during pre-school."
Henry cut her sentence. "Only friend who was willing to keep up with your weird sandwich taste." He teased as Quinn lightly slapped his arm.
"I'm Sam. Quinn's husband." Sam extended his hand while carrying Andrew on his left arm. Henry reached for it and shook his hand.
"He's my fiancé and this is our little boy, Andrew." Quinn said as she grabbed Andrew from Sam.
"Ooooh. Not yet married, huh? You better hurry up, Sam. This one's a jackpot right here. You wouldn't want to get snatched from." He joked pointing at Quinn.
"I'm pretty sure we're both in love enough to wait." Sam said and he's not really enjoying this guy's act.
"Well, I got a scholarship at NYFA for 2 years so we're probably gonna wait after that before walking down the aisle. We're starting already anyway."
"I guess that's why you're here. Well, everything's gonna go easily. Just sign the papers and everything will be official."
After everything was done, it was time to go home. Sam remained quiet the whole time and his responses were only nods and smiles. On the way home, Quinn was playing with Andrew in the cab. She kept repeating the name Andrew Michael Evans. When they finally got to their apartment, Quinn noticed that Sam still wasn't speaking. She knew the reason but she decided to wait until he opens it up. To make things easier, she tried speaking loud for him to intentionally hear her motives.
"Andrew, why do you think Daddy's been so quiet on the way home? Do you think he's not happy that you're finally an Evans?" She asked while playing with him on the mat. Sam was making dinner in the kitchen and he voice was heard there. He decided to stay quiet.
"Do you think Daddy's mad because of Henry?" She asked. "He was just an old friend Mommy had during pre-school. Nothing special." Sam was still quiet.
"Ma!" Andrew replied.
"Good boy! You understood that? I hope daddy understands too. I've never loved anyone so much than Daddy. He's my only man."
"Ma!" Andrew repeated, hitting Quinn's leg with the toy blocks.
"Of course, baby. You too. I only have two important boys. Daddy and Andrew." She said, kissing her little man.
"I'm not mad, okay." Sam interrupted the mother and son bonding. "I was just...upset. I looked stupid there, Quinn. I was just sitting in his office while the two of you laughed your asses off." He said, sitting on the couch while Quinn and Andrew stayed on the mat. "I didn't even know your first name was Lucy!"
"We were just catching up, Sam. He was the only person willing to be my friend during pre-school. I used to go with the name Lucy until I reached high school where popularity was your only chance at survival. I thought Lucy was a name for nerds so I went by with Quinn ever since." She plainly stated. She wasn't looking him in the eye.
"I guess there are things we still don't know about each other. Do you think we're moving too fast?" He asked.
Quinn got up and sat beside him on the couch. She grabbed his hand and kissed it. "We have our whole lives to get to know each other better, Sam. And honestly? When I'm with you, nothing's ever really fast. Everything goes so slow and I like it that way. I want to stay in that exact moment where I can just hold you close...and never let go." She squeezed his hand.
Sam kissed her on the lips. "I think Lucy's a pretty name, by the way."
Quinn laughed out loud. "Thank you, but I'm good with Quinn. I think I'll stick with that."
"I love you, okay? I'm really happy about Andrew being an Evans. I just couldn't show it a while ago cause I was too pissed at that Henry."
Quinn continued laughing. "Enough, okay? We got what we need. I don't think we'll see him anymore after today."
"I hope so. I mean, we gotta stop adopting and start making."
"Sam!" She said and laughed louder. "I'm pretty sure one is enough for now."
"Want some more good news?" He asked.
"What?"
"New York gang's coming on Saturday."
"Are you serious?" Quinn was surprised. It's been a while since they all saw each other.
"Yeah. Apparently, Rachel's getting married in 2 months."
"How could you know all these things and I know nothing?"
"Kurt told me this morning." He replied. "Apparently, Rachel's pregnant and their parents want them to get married before her tummy shows."
"Oh, wow. I never thought Rachel would be the first one to have a baby." Quinn was shocked.
"Shut up, Lucy. You're the first one to have a little boy." Sam teased.
"I meant, pregnant, silly. I always thought she'd be the last one to have sex among us."
"Well, she's the first to get married. Come on, Q. We're losing the race." Sam joked and she just laughed.
"Dinner time, let's go." She said as they both stood up to eat.

Saturday came and everyone decided to meet up at Sam and Quinn's apartment. Everyone was there. Santana, Puck, Kurt, Blaine and Rachel with her soon to be husband, Jesse St. James. The couple didn't mind when each one of them entered, they came up to little Andrew first before Sam and Quinn. Everyone was so fond of the little guy and he seems to be really cooperative that day. He was all smiles and kept laughing as everyone played with him. Each one was assigned to bring something so they would have something to eat. Everyone had a good time and after dinner, the boys were talking about something while doing the dishes. The ladies and Kurt were busy playing with little Andrew.
"So, Jesse. As a welcome to the group, you gotta go through the intiation." Puck said, while rubbing the plates.
"Initiation?" Jesse asked. "Am I gonna get killed before I get married?"
"No, brother. You just gotta hang out with us. The men. It's like a get-to-know men's party." Puck explained.
"You mean, a bachelor's party? Shouldn't that be days before the wedding?" He asked.
"No, that's a different party. This party is just the four of us. Rachel's like our little sister and we gotta make sure of you before we let you have Rachel as your wife." Sam added.
"Yeah. I found this bar downtown and don't you worry, Sam. It's not the same bar you got caught with the last time." Puck said and Sam gave him a death glare. "It's called 'The Bottle'." Puck said, looking up as though he saw a shining star.
"Why is it called 'The Bottle'?" Blaine asked.
"Maybe they have really cool bottles of beer." Sam guessed.
"Are you sure about this?" Jesse asked.
"Of course, I am. Every time I invite people to go to bars, 98% of them say they had the best times of their lives." Puck proudly said.
"What happened with the 2%?" Blaine asked.
"Meh. They were too wasted to even speak." Everyone cheered and was so amazed with Puck special ability. "So gentlemen... Let's get going!" Puck said as they all agreed.

The living room had a different topic. Rachel kept bragging on how excited she is about the wedding and the baby.
"When did you find out?" Quinn asked.
"About a week ago. It was surprising but we were both excited about it." Rachel said with a huge smile on her face.
"I haven't experienced birth yet but when you get to hold him, it will definitely feel like you're on top of the world." Quinn advised.
"Just getting to hold this little man makes me want to have a baby!" Santana said. "He's so adorable."
"So adorable. You better let me handle his clothing. I'm gonna present it to my boss and make your son the youngest model of Vogue." Kurt said, playing with Andrew.
"Hold it, Kurt. I'm pretty sure Quinn doesn't want to her son to be gay at a young age." Santana teased.
"Shut up, Santana. Gay is good. Plus, fashion has no gender. One thing's for sure... This baby's gonna be fabulous." Kurt defended.
"Excuse me but, what about my baby?" Rachel interrupted their argument.
"You have 9 more months to wait. I'll probably be promoted to the owner by then." Kurt said and everyone laughed. Just then, they saw the boys coming in with a very mysterious look on their face.
"Hey, girls...and Kurt. We have something we'd like to tell you." Puck led the group.
The five of them, including Andrew, just looked at the 4 men standing.
"We... We decided to get to know Jesse a lot better. We've decided to have a Boys Night Out tonight." Puck said and Quinn immediately stated her opinion.
"I do not like the sound of that."
Puck tried to explain. "Now, hold your horses, Quinn. We all agreed that it will just be the four of us interacting. No special participation of any other person..."
"Girl or a boy..." Blaine added, looking at Kurt.
"Yes, and since we all don't have cars to assign a designated driver... We've all agreed that we can get drunk as long as we can still go home safely." Sam ended.
"We promise to be home before 3 in the morning." Jesse added with a grin, as though begging the girls to agree.
The room was quiet for a while.
"Alright... We're gonna go..." Puck said and the boys were about to leave until Quinn stopped them.
"Hold it." The boys turned back around to hear their reaction.
"I'm not buying this." Quinn objected.
"Me too." Santana said.
"Make that three." Kurt said.
"I think the guys should go." Rachel said and the three of the looked at her in disbelief. "I mean, you guys are my friends. I want you guys to know that Jesse is a really good guy and he wants to earn your trust as my friends."
"That is true." Jesse said.
"Come on, ladies. We should trust our boys on this. They're old enough to know how hard we'll kick them in the nads if they break the rules." Rachel said, encouraging the three to let them go.
The boys cheered on Rachel.
"Yes!"
"Right!"
"You go, Rach!"
"Yeah, come on!"
Quinn, Santana and Kurt looked at each other as though they were talking through their eyes. After a couple more looks, the three of them nodded.
"Everyone must stick together. Everyone will come home here at our apartment. No man will be left behind." Quinn said.
"Be back before 2 am or else, you'll all sleep outside the door." Santana said.
"Last thing; keep your cell phones on. At least one of you should message us from time to time just so we would know if you guys are still alive." Kurt added.
"So... We're good?" Sam asked and the three girls nodded and smiled.
The boys jumped in excitement as they kissed their significant others goodbye.
"I'll be back, big boy." Sam said as he kissed his son.
"Sam, you know what happened the last time. I swear, if that happens again tonight, I'm sending you to Iraq." Quinn reminded her fiancé about the last incident.
"Yes, ma'am. I promise. I love you." He kissed his fiancé goodbye as they all went out of the apartment.

"We're here!" Puck exclaimed.
"It looks...nice." Blaine said.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Jesse said as they marched to the front door.
"$10 per ticket please." The guy at the front said.
"$10?! That's expensive!" Blaine said.
"You get 2 free drinks and the night of your lives. Now, pay up."
The boys had no choice as it might seem like a fine deal. Everyone paid and went inside. They were like little boys who were all smiles as they went inside the place. Before getting in, Blaine asked one of the bouncers. "Do you have Harry Potter styled bottles here?" The big guy just raised an eye brow on him and let them in.
When they got inside, they had the surprise of their lives.
"What the hell?" Blaine said.
"We're in a..." Jesse said but Sam stopped him.
"Don't even try to say it."
"Brothers. This feels like heaven but it's gonna hurt like hell." Puck said as his mouth was still wide open in surprise.
"So, there's no Harry Potter styled bottles?" Blaine asked.
"I think they're talking about their bodies shaped like a bottle." Jesse said.
"My wife's gonna kill me." Sam whispered but it was enough for the others to hear it.
Surprisingly, The Bottle wasn't just an ordinary bar. It was actually a strip club. Everyone was looking at Puck, thinking he intentionally picked the placed and didn't tell them it was actually a strip club. Puck, with all his heart, swore he thought it was just an ordinary bar, thinking they named it The Bottle because beers are placed in a bottle.
"I think we should leave..." Jesse said.
"No! Dudes, we paid 10 bucks to get here. If we leave, it'll just be like we gave our money to a robber so he wouldn't rob us." Puck may have a point, Blaine thought.
"What do we do now?" Blaine asked.
"No one will know if we will all keep our mouth shut." Puck said.
"What?! You mean, we're gonna lie to them?" Sam asked.
"Guys. Look, we don't have a choice. We all didn't know this was a strip club. We're just gonna get our drinks and leave. We'll satisfy both ourselves and our ladies and gay. We get a good time and they have us back before 2 am." Puck explained.
"Alright, no entertainment okay?" Jesse said.
"No entertainment." Puck repeated as they all looked for a seat.
The all grabbed the farthest seats from the stage as they didn't want to be tempted. When they were all settled, a waitress went up to them who was eyeing Blaine.
"What can I get you boys?"
"Oh, here. We'll just get our first free drinks." Sam handed their tickets.
"How about food?" She asked.
"What do you have?" Puck asked.
"Here." She handed them the menu. "I'm for free, by the way." She told Blaine, wrapping her arm around him.
"Uhh..." Blaine removed her arm around him. "I'm gay."
The waitress giggled. "I'm sorry. You're cute, either way."
"Give us a plate of Potato Chips, Buffalo Wings and Cheese Sticks." Jesse ordered.
"Coming right up. Enjoy the night, boys." She said as she left.
"Dude, you're lucky you're gay. If I was in your shoes, I would've turned straight." Puck said and they all laughed.
Their drinks arrived and by the first gulp, Puck had to shout his opinion on the drink.
"Fuck! This tastes so good!"
"I know! It's like the best beer I've ever tasted!" Sam thought too.
"I guess there's a good side with this club." Jesse said as they all laughed.
The beer tasted so good that they finished their first bottles in no time. They ordered their second bottle thinking they could drink this for the rest of their lives. It was that good. Their food finally arrived but their second bottle was already half empty. They decided to order 2 more bottles each. Jesse volunteered to pay for the drinks since it was quite expensive. The three just decided to share the payment for the food.
While Puck was finishing his 3rd bottle, a lady came up to him wearing was seems to be a paper made bra and panties. The alcohol seemed to be getting in his head because he looked at the lady from head, stopped at her boobs down to her panties up to her feet. He couldn't control himself so he stood up but Blaine being the less drunk with the four of them pulled him back down on his chair. The lady left their table and shifted to another.
"Dude, that wasn't me. It was the alcohol running my mind." Puck tried to make excuses and the three of them laughed.
"How much alcohol does this beer even have? We've only had about 3 bottles and my head feels like exploding already." Sam said.
"But it's so good!" Jesse shouted.
"That's true. Remember, we still have to text them from time to time. We wouldn't want to get in trouble." Blaine reminded them as he texted Kurt that they're still drinking.
"Okay, enough. We're guys. We need to have fun and get wasted when we get the chance. I'm pretty sure we won't ever be back in here so we need to have more of this delicious beer. 2 more bottles each on me!" Jesse shouted as the three of them cheered on.
After a little while, everyone was too drunk to speak properly. Everyone was laughing and teasing each other. They were teasing how Jesse should take care of Rachel or else they'll cut his head off. After a while, a lady danced around Sam but he didn't look at her. She finally sat on his lap and the three guys let out their 'Ooohs'.
"Miss, no. I'm sorry but..." His mouth went closer to her ear and whispered, "I have a fiancé and a son." He laughed out loud, so did the rest of them.
The girl laughed too. "It's fine. 90% of the people here are married and they don't mind me grinding on them."
"No, please. I love Quinn." He said and tried to push off the girl.
"I am Quinn." The girl said.
"Shut up. Quinn's blonde. You're a red headed girl." Blaine said and laughed.
"And you have bigger boobs than Quinn." Puck added and everyone laughed, even Sam. Blaine laughed too hard that he almost fell on the floor.
"That's true. But her boobs are oh so fine and I love it." Sam said as they were all laughing, even the girl who was still sitting on Sam's lap.
"Wow, you guys are so hyped. How many Shakers did you have tonight?" She asked.
"What's a shaker?" Jesse asked.
"Shaker. The free drink you got with the ticket."
"Oh! You mean the best drink ever? Well, this bottle would be our... I don't know, 6th?" Pucked tried to count.
The girl laughed. "Guys, 2 is enough. 3 is too much. That's our special beer here and it has a lot of alcohol in it. You guys are tough. I won't be surprised if you'll crawl yourselves back home."
"But it's too good. We won't be back here anyway so we made the most of it." Blaine explained.
"Yeah. We didn't think this was a strip club and our ladies would definitely kill us if they find out about this. We just didn't have any choice. Your tickets are expensive." Sam told the girl.
"Well, we wouldn't want cute boys like you dead before the age 75. Come on, I'll get you guys a cab." She volunteered.
"What? No, we still have to finish this last bottle." Jesse said.
"What time is it anyway?" Puck asked.
"it's 5 minutes before 2 am." She said.
"Oh, shit. We need to go home." Blaine said.
"You guys have a curfew?" She asked.
"Yeah. The ladies would kill us." Jesse said as he counted his cash and paid the waitress.
"Come on guys, I'll help you out." They walked...or almost crawled their way out of the club. The lady helped Sam and Blaine out. Blaine was still able to walk although his direction was zigzag so he was the easiest to go to the cab. Sam was half awake and half asleep so he was somehow carried out by 2 waitresses. Puck and Jesse were carried out by the bouncer who was quite disturbed. Puck kept saying how pretty his nipples were.
Xxx
On their way home inside the cab, everyone agreed to shut up.
"Okay, guys. No one will speak when we get there. Everyone, just shut up." Blaine ordered everyone.
"Gay Anderson's right. We can't get caught so just to be sure, our answers will only be nodding." Puck said. "I can't wait to have sex with my lady. I've been having a hard on since 11 pm."
"Just do it in the kitchen, brother. I don't want my kid seeing your tiny dick." Everyone laughed out loud.
"Shut up, dude. You haven't seen the best of me." Puck defended but everyone kept laughing.
"We're home!" Sam literally shouted. Blaine, who was the least drunk of the guys, paid the driver and they basically crawled out of the cab. Sam and Quinn's apartment was in a building of 3 floors. It was more like a condominium but it was still considered an apartment. Each floor has about 5 rooms. Their place was at the 2nd floor. When they got to the front, the 2 security guards of the building noticed they were having a hard time walking to the elevator as they kept falling on the floor every time they try to walk.
"Mr. Evans, are you okay?" One of the guards asked.
"Hey! Yeah, I'm good. Can you...help us?" Sam laughed out loud as he sat on the floor.
"Can you walk sir?"
"Yes, of course. Walking is just too overrated. My boys and I would rather crawl. Now, that's something new!" He laughed as the 3 other guys laughed too.
"I'll just bring you guys up to the room, Sir." The two guards dragged them into the elevator and one of them went up with the drunken boys and brought them to their place. The guard rang the doorbell and as fast as lightning, Quinn opened the door.
"Good..." He checked his watch. "Good morning, Mrs. Evans. They couldn't get up on their own down at the lobby."
"Oh my Goodness. I'm sorry for bothering you. We'll handle it from here. Thank you." Quinn was so embarrassed and surprised to see the 4 men sound asleep on the hallway.
"Its fine, Ma'am. Have a good night." The guard left to go back to the lobby.
Quinn went to Sam first, tapping his face to wake up. "Sam, get up." He opened his eyes and just smiled at her. "What happened? It's almost 3 in the morning."
"What the hell happened?" Santana asked as though she saw the 4 guys dead looking on the ground.
"Blaine, wake up." Kurt said as he tried to shake him up.
"Are these guys even alive?" Rachel asked as Jesse wasn't opening his eyes no matter how hard she shakes him.
"Sam, wake up." Quinn repeated as he finally realized it was Quinn who was tapping him. Sam looked around to see his buddies lying on the ground beside him.
Maybe because of fear of Quinn, he was suddenly half awake. He stood up and hugged Quinn. They were all confused as to what he's doing. He kissed Quinn on the head and kicked Puck on the leg and laughed.
"That's it; I'm dragging my boyfriend by the feet." Kurt said and literally did what he said he'd do. He dragged Blaine to the folding mattress he got from his own apartment.
"Hold it, let's just help each other and drag these boys to the mattress." Santana suggested.
"I say, we drag Blaine first as he's the lightest and Puck last since he's the heaviest." Rachel said and they all agreed.
Since Sam was already on his feet, Quinn helped him walk to the couch and sat there. "Can you tell me what happened, Mister?" Quinn said with a more serious tone.
"I love you. Your eyes are really pretty, sweetheart." Sam said with eyes half opened and a little boy's smile on his face.
"Why are you all so drunk? How many do you drink?" She asked again.
Sam just laughed and touched her face with his index finger as though he was trying to see if she was real.
"Sam, if you're not gonna answer properly, I will tie you in a chair for days."
"That sounds sexy, babe." Sam said as he laughed again. Quinn finally gave up, thinking he wouldn't get a proper answer from her fiancé.
She stood up and helped the others drag Puck inside as he was really heavy. When they finally got the giant Mohawk to the mattress, the 3 ladies and Kurt literally fell to the ground. That was really tiring!
"Come on inside guys. Let's just share the room. Let them sleep there." Quinn said.
"Yeah, we better check on the little guy inside." Kurt said as they walked inside. When Quinn was the last to go inside, she noticed Sam was following her.
"Sam, no." She stopped him. "You sleep on the couch. I'm not letting my son smell you like that. We'll talk tomorrow." Quinn said and so the door closed.
Xxx
"Ma! Ma!" Andrew kept shouting from his baby chair while looking at Sam who was still asleep on the couch. The ladies and Kurt were eating breakfast already. The boys were still down and out.
"Andrew, open your mouth." Quinn was feeding him his favourite strawberry oatmeal.
"Ma!" He seems like he was trying to reach over to where Sam was.
"Daddy's sleeping. He'll carry you later." She continued feeding her son.
"He seems to really love Sam." Rachel said, while munching on the bread.
"Every morning, Sam would carry him and sway him and all he'd do is just laugh and laugh and it's just the most adorable thing in the world." Quinn giggled.
Blaine was the first one to wake up. Kurt saw him struggle to stand up as Jesse foot was on his face and Puck's face was on his stomach.
"Oh, wow. Hey Blaine. You're alive." Kurt said with so much sarcasm on his tone. He didn't look at him as he was eating his bacon.
"Good morning, guys. What time is it?" He asked, shaking his head from the pain.
"Time for you to wake up. It's 9:30." Kurt replied.
"Bathroom's on the bedroom, Blaine." Quinn said, giggling at Kurt's response.
"Thanks, Quinn." He said and went inside the room.
After a while, Blaine went out with a more refreshed mood. He was awake now and all he needs is coffee.
"There's a stool in the kitchen." Quinn said as the dining table had only 4 chairs. He sat beside Kurt and there was already a coffee prepared for him.
"You seem to be the most responsible of them all. Now, talk." Rachel ordered.
"Okay. Uh, well. We went to a bar and there was this...awesome and amazing beer. I swear, it was so good. You should all try it!"
"Maybe we should..." Santana said.
"But..." Blaine tried to think of an excuse as he remembered they went to a strip club and it's not really a girl friendly place. "It was their last night and they're closing the bar for good. That's why we had so much to drink. It was a celebration, guys."
"You guys really shouldn't have pushed to the limit. Look what happened last night. The guards even had to bring you up here as you were all crawling to the elevator." Quinn said.
"We're really sorry. On behalf of the guys, we're really sorry. We just tried to have fun." Blaine apologized.
"Apology accepted." Kurt said and all of them embraced him.
Sam woke up to see them all having a moment. He didn't mind them at first as he went straight to the bathroom. It took him quite a while before he went out. When he got out, he was wearing shorts and shirt. He made sure he's all better before facing his family.
"Good morning, everyone." Sam greeted.
"Wow. Fresh and clean, Sam Evans." Santana said with a little bit of growl in the end.
"Ma!" Andrew shouted reaching for Sam.
"Good morning, big boy." He lifted his son up and tried to sway him.
"Sam, don't. He just ate. He might throw up if you shake him." Quinn said while putting the dishes on the sink.
Sam placed him down and went to his fiancé. "Look, babe. I'm sorry about last night. I don't remember much but I know it wasn't good cause I slept on the couch." He tried to explain hugging her from behind.
"Blaine already explained. It's fine." She said as she washed the dishes.
"Mhmm. But you're still mad. I'm sorry baby." He kept kissing her ear.
Quinn finally gave in and giggled. "Okay, okay!" She turned around. "Just don't do it again, okay? It was really embarrassing to the guards downstairs. You all looked like you dead when I saw you lying on the hallway."
"I promise. I'm sorry." He kissed her on the lips and she kissed back.
They were finally okay with what happened the night before. It was already 12 in the afternoon and they were all betting on who'll wake up last. The gang left the apartment almost dinner time as they headed back to their own homes.

Tuesday night and Quinn was busy typing on her laptop. She found out something that really disappointing that day and Sam was out the whole day for work. He got home at about 8 in the evening.
"Hey, babe. I'm sorry. It was a very busy day at work. We made a photo shoot about teachers." He went to her and kissed her on the cheek. She didn't react though.
"Have you eaten dinner?" He asked but she still wasn't responding. "Babe? Hello? Anybody there?" He asked.
Quinn stood up from her desk and faced him. "Do you mind telling me about 'The Bottle'?"
"What bottle? I told you there's no more shampoo that's why I threw the bottle." He said.
"Not that, Sam. You know what I'm talking about." Her face was ten times more serious now. She's never look this upset.
"Uhm..." He didn't know what to say anymore.
Quinn grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the room. "Why didn't you tell me you guys went to a strip club the other day?!" She was holding her voice. She couldn't help herself. She had to shout at him.
"Babe, I can explain..." Before he could finish his sentence, his face was met by her hand.
"I told you before you left to learn from what happened the last time! You know how much that pissed me off, Sam!"
"Quinn, I know but it was just an accident. All of us didn't know it was a strip club!"
"It's called The Bottle, Sam! What else could they mean besides the shape of a woman's body?!"
"I thought they serve beers on special bottles! We had no choice, Quinn! We already paid for the ticket before we found out!"
"No, Sam! You had options! You just decided not to choose!"
"Quinn, come on. I'm sorry. Nothing happened."
"Really? That's not what I've heard from Brody! He saw you there, Sam! With a woman on your lap!"
"It's not what you think! Would you really believe that Brody guy than me? Me, Quinn? Your future HUSBAND!" He gave emphasis on the last word.
"He wasn't drunk enough to see what you've been doing there! But that's not the point, Sam. You broke your promise! I gave you a warning! You really don't know how to listen!" She stormed off and went straight to their room. Before closing the door, she turned to him. "You seem to be enjoying the couch lately. You're staying there until I say so."
"Come on, that's not fair." Sam appealed.
"What do you want? You stay on the couch or me and Andrew will find a hotel to stay for days?" She asked.
He could say anything so he just sighed.
"That's what I thought so." She said and closed the door.
Xxx
It's been two days and both of them haven't spoken a bit on the other. Sam tried to communicate with her but she never responded back. It's been 2 long weeks of tiring, stressing and full of arguments. Sam doesn't know what it would take for them to be okay again. She has a point on what happened but she should have listened to his explanation too. Then again, he should have just told her the truth in the first place.
It's already Thursday night and he just got home from work. Whenever he gets home, he would knock on the door and ask permission from Quinn that he'll take a shower or get his stuff. After that, he'll go back to his now bed which was their couch. This time was different. It's been 2 days since their big fight and he couldn't stand it anymore.
He knocked on the door and opened it. "Quinn, can we talk?" He asked as he got inside.
"No." She said. She was busy reading a book on the bed.
He didn't mind her answer and just sat on the bed. "Come on, babe. Let's talk."
Quinn placed the book down and looked at him. "What part of I don't want to be in a room with you don't you understand?"
"You have to hear me out, Quinn. Separation won't fix this mess. We need to talk about this."
"I'm not ready. Maybe some other time."
"Stop being so stubborn, Quinn. You know in your heart, I'm doing the right thing. Remember when we promised each other to never sleep at night an unsettled argument?"
She remained quiet.
He reached out for her hand but she moved it.
"I'm busy, okay Sam? I still need to finish this book for tomorrow!" Even when they tried to lower down their voices, Andrew started crying. The first thing that got to Quinn's mind was that he was hungry. She rushed out and looked made him a bottle of milk. Sam followed her.
"You can't keep running away from me! Forget about everything. I'm your fiancé, Quinn and I need to be your first priority besides Andrew!"
"That's what I'm doing! Andrew comes first! Now, move! I gotta feed my baby!" She shouted and went inside the room.
Sam has had enough. "Fine! Have it your way! Just text me if I'm as important to you as our child! I'll check in a hotel!"
When he was about to walk out the door, he heard her scream his name.
"Sam!"
He stopped and thought if he should check on her. After a few more silence, he heard her again.
"Sam!"
That's the time where he ran to the room to check on his wife. When he got inside the room, he saw Quinn carrying Andrew.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"He's been shaking and his temperature is really hot. We need to go the hospital now!"
Sam, without hesitation, grabbed everything he needed and ran downstairs to grab a cab for them to go to the hospital. Luckily, the streets weren't that busy and they got to the emergency room as soon as possible. The baby was checked immediately but Quinn kept crying. Sam saw it. Her eyes were different when she told him about their son's health problem. It was like the scariest he's seen of Quinn. Full of fear and worry in her eyes.
Sam came up to her and hugged her tight. Being in her weakest state, she had no choice of comfort but the love of her fiancé. She hugged him tight and cried on his shoulder.
"Shh. He's a strong boy. He'll be fine." Sam whispered. He comforted her until her crying finally stopped when the doctors called them in.
"He's fine now. He just had a really high fever that's why he was like that. We had to attach him to dextrose and he'll be under observation for the next 24 hours. Other than that, your baby will be fine." The doctor informed them and left.
When the couple checked on their ill baby, he was dozing off to sleep and he looked a lot more calmed than he did before. Quinn couldn't help herself and kissed him so much and whispered, "I love you Andrew."
Sam went to the other side and kissed his son too. He couldn't believe that a simple fever on his son would have given him a heart attack. He didn't know it looked this bad for babies to get sick. He knew he had to be more caring of his son from now on.
Quinn sat on the chair and called him.
"Sam, come here."
Immediately, he walked to the other side and sat beside her. He kept him close in an embrace and before she could speak, he knew he had to repeat it. "I'm sorry, Quinn. I should have just been honest with you. I never meant to hurt you. I was thinking of myself too much that I forgot about you. I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry I never gave you a chance. I'm sorry for being unfair to you all the time. I should be a lot better to deserve you."
"Shh, don't say that. You're more than enough for me okay?" He pulled her chin up and kissed her on the lips. "It's been 2 stressful week of arguments. I wanna stop fight against you. I wanna fight with you. We should be on the same team but what happens is that we become enemies. We should be a team."
"I know. It's all my fault, I'm sorry." Quinn apologized.
"We both had our mistakes okay? I promise, I'll be honest from now on. No more secrets. No matter what it costs me."
"I love you, Babe. I'm sorry." She kissed him on the lips and hugged her tight.
"Look at that little boy." Sam said and smiled.
"What?" She asked.
"He sacrificed his health. He knew he was the only person that could keep us together and reconciled." He giggled.
"If it wasn't for your son, we wouldn't have known what was really important. Family always comes first." She smiled at him.
"No more fights okay? That's enough for a lifetime." Sam teased and they both giggled lightly.
"I'll stay here with Andrew. I'll just be absent for school tomorrow. Go rest at home. You have work in the morning." Quinn ordered but Sam didn't think the same.
"Nope. We're in this together. I won't go to work tomorrow. I'll just get some of Andrew's stuff at home and maybe a jacket for you too. I'll be back in a while."
"Okay." She smiled and agreed.
Thanks to Andrew, they were now back together and settled.
