Chapter 11
"I'm his mother." She repeated as Quinn slowly started to tear up. "I have child service with me. I'd like to take my son back now." Sam was just as stunned as Quinn. She was about to reach for Andrew but Sam moved back.
"Are you serious? You can't do that! You can't take my son!" Quinn grabbed Andrew from Sam.
"Sir, we have adoption papers. We have officially adopted him. I'm sorry but we're not giving our child back." Sam said as he closed the door but the lady pushed the door.
"Sir, it is actually stated in your adoption agreement that unless the biological parent is dead or missing, you're going to need the parents' signature of approval." The guy from child service explained.
"Yes, I'd like to take my son home now..." She reached for Andrew but Quinn moved back.
"No! I'm not giving you my son!" She nearly shouted. "Sam, do something!"
Sam got in the way to stop them. "I'm sorry but this is just happening all of a sudden. If you could give time to take care of things..."
The lady cut her off. "Time? You already had 8 months with him. I need my son back."
"I'm sorry, sir but we're gonna have to take him now."
The lady reached for Andrew but Quinn was fighting back.
"Sir, I'm really sorry but we have to get the child back now." They said until they forcefully grabbed Andrew from Quinn and left. Andrew started to cry when he left his mother's arms. Quinn tried to run after them but didn't catch up. Instead, she just stared at the fading view of the car in which his son was riding. She couldn't do anything but cry. Sam couldn't do anything but hold his tears and comfort his wife.

"Mom, let's go. It's 1pm. We have to go now." Sam called her, squinting his tired eyes from crying. He knew she loved it when he calls her that. Quinn was just staring at the window, crying still.
"Stop calling me mom. I just lost my child." Quinn said, trying to hold her tears but she couldn't. She was tired of crying too.
Sam got speechless. He went closer to her and hugged her. "Come here."
Quinn buried her face in Sam's chest and cried hard. Just the sound of Quinn's crying made Sam cry too. He didn't know what to do or say anymore cause he knows nothing will make her calm. Sam kissed her on the head and hugged her tighter. "We'll figure something out." He whispered to her in a husky and crying voice. "But right now... We have to leave for our new home and take some rest."
"That house won't feel much like a home to me if we don't have Andrew around." She said, trying her best to sound clear as she was sobbing hard.
"I'm still here, right? We still have each other." He knew she was right. Andrew was one of the reasons, beside their love for each other, which kept them strong. "We'll find a way. We'll get our son back. I promise." He explained and he heard her cry harder.
"I'm scared, Sam. He might be my only hope to give you a child. If I don't have him, I'm scared that I might lose you too." She wept as she felt her body become weaker, dropping most of her weight in Sam's arms.
"I'm not going to leave you. I'll never leave you, Quinn." He said, although her words struck him. What if Andrew was really their only hope of having a child? He was just taken from them in a blink and they couldn't do anything about it.
He let her release her emotions on him for a while until she finally agreed to leave for their new house. They arrived there and it was definitely not the mood they were expecting since planning to move. Dinner was really quiet and there wasn't much sleeping that happened that night. Sam kept waking up and hearing his woman cry in the middle of the night.
The next day, Sam let Quinn sleep in. He woke her up asking if she'll go to school but she said she'll just stay home. Sam understood her. He said he needs to go to work to finish off some work but the truth was, he just needed something to take his mind off of the situation.
When Sam got home that night, he was happy to see that Quinn managed to take a shower and eat something since there were unwashed dishes in the sink. He went inside and saw Quinn in bed with Cooper. He wasn't sure if she was asleep or not but he decided to just kiss her in the head to inform her he was home.
Days passed and it was already Andrew's birthday. Sam woke up and found Quinn looking at Andrew's crib in his supposed to be new room. He hugged her from behind and her only reaction was to hold his arm.
"Happy birthday, my son." Quinn whispered and the tears started to roll again.
Sam smiled but he knew he would cry any second. He kissed her ear and whispered, "Happy Birthday, Andrew." Sam saw her wiping he tears. He had to change his subject. "Quinn, you haven't attended your classes for days. You have to go soon if you don't want to fail."
Quinn let out a deep sigh. "I don't know. I don't think I'm ready."
"You can't just lock yourself here for the rest of your life. You need to go out."
"Maybe next time, babe. But not today."
Hearing her call him babe gave Sam a relief. He knew she was trying to get back on her feet. At least, she was trying. That's good enough for Sam.
Quinn around and saw him teary eyed too. She cupped his face and kissed him on the lips. "Go take a shower. You're gonna be late for work."
"I was thinking of taking you out for lunch. You know... Just to get out from the heavy stress." He wrapped his arms around her, but they were still face to face.
"I don't know, babe. I don't really feel like getting out of the house."
"Then, we'll just stay in. I'll cook for you. We can watch a movie. Play with Cooper...with each other."
His last suggestion made her smile and giggle a bit.
"I just want to take care of you today. I know it's gonna be hard but I want to help you get back on your feet."
Quinn just looked at him. She knew he was getting tired too. She kissed him on the lips again and whispered on his lips. "Thank you."
"You know, I love you so much."
"I love you too." And they kissed again before Sam went to take a shower.
They stayed in the whole day doing random activities, spending time with each other and trying to make one another smile though someone was definitely being missed. Night came and both felt in the mood for some pleasuring. At first they were rubbing on each other until one decided that they don't need their clothes anymore.
Sam was excited to have his Quinn back. Not only good but intense in bed. He let her be in control for a while. She blew him hard and he thought that was it for him but she stopped. She made him ask for more.
"Oh God." Sam said, breathing hard as he heard her giggle. She finally straddled him and guided his cock in her hot and wet entrance. She kept on teasing him until his hard manhood finally entered her. He exhaled deeply as she moaned in his ear. She rode him like there was no tomorrow. Her pace was really fast until Sam felt like his end was nearing.
"Babe, I'm... I'm gonna...explode." He said and she wasn't stopping until he did explode.
Quinn kept up with the fast pace and she can really tell he was almost there. "Release inside me. We need to have a baby."
He couldn't contain it and felt like he blacked out when he came inside her. She started to slow down and his eyes remained closed. After a while, he realized what she just said. He opened his eyes and asked her, "What did you say?"
Quinn felt he didn't like what she said. "Nothing. It's nothing." She moved back to the other side of the bed and faced her back on him. "Go to sleep, babe. Good night."
All that ran through Sam's mind after that was What the fuck?

A week has passed and they still haven't gotten Andrew back. Quinn went back to school the day after Andrew's birthday. Sam was obviously bothered during work times. Most of the time, his co-workers would find him just sitting in the office, staring at their family portrait. He wouldn't notice the people coming in unless they call his name.
Sam was about to leave for home one day when he was told that Lara was asking him to go to her office. He grabbed his stuff to go to her office and tell her he wasn't in the mood to talk.
Sam knocked on her door and she told him to come in.
He peeked through the door. "You wanted to see me?"
"All the time." She said and laughed. He wasn't really in the mood for these flirty talks. "Come inside."
"Listen, I'm not really in the mood to talk. I just want to go home right now."
"This won't take long." She pulled him in and pushed him to sit on the chair. Lara straddled him and started kissing him on the lips and unbuttoning his shirt. "I missed you, Sam. We haven't had sex for weeks."
"Stop it." He stopped her, pushing her off of him.
"Come on. Just a quick sex on my table." She said, moving all the stuff on her table to get some space. She started touching him on the crotch but he didn't do anything.
"I'm not in the mood for that shit, Lara. I just want to go home."
She pulled down her panties and lifted her dress. She grabbed his hand and made him feel her wet folds. Sam was a guy and things like this were really inevitably seductive for him. He rubbed her down there as she pulled him down for a kiss.
Sam stopped when he realized he needed to."No, enough. Stop. My wife's waiting for me at home. I gotta go."
He was about to leave but she said something that made him stop.
"But your son's not there."
Sam turned around, raising an eyebrow on her. "What?"
"I know your son's not with you anymore, Sam." She pulled her panties up and fixed her dress. "That's why I called you in here."
"How did you know?" Sam asked, feeling a bit confused. Was she spying on him?
"Andrew... I mean, Nathan... is my nephew."
Sam's eyes widened in disbelief. Was she aware of what's going on since his first appearance at their front door?
"Jenna Shireman. My father adopted her when she was 7 years old. I didn't agree to share our family's fortune and last name with her when my father died so she had to give up her baby to accept a job offering in Canada."
Sam was just quietly listening to her. He was standing by the door but he can feel his legs giving up any moment. What she was explaining to him was so surreal for him. It was totally unexpected.
"I found out she left Nathan in your house when I checked your address in your file. I didn't say a word as I thought my nephew was in good hands. Now that she's back, I made a proposition for her to have my family's last name and she agreed." Lara went closer to him and held his hand.
"Now, I have a proposition for you." He didn't speak and just stared at her. "I really love you Sam Evans. I want to be with you and I knew I had to do this. I convinced Jenna and she agreed to give Andrew back."
Sam's face finally lit up. It was probably the biggest smile he's had since like forever. He hugged Lara with such gratefulness. "Thank you so much, Lara! Oh my God! I can't believe this." His joy was up till the roof until she dropped the catch.
"Anything for you Sam. Marry me and Quinn can have Andrew back."
The smile on Sam's face immediately crushed and he pulled back from the hug.
"Quinn can have his stupid adopted child back and we can have our own family, with our own little children. They'll be your own, Sam. I can give you kids."
Sam couldn't believe what he was hearing. He just looked at her in disgust. Was she seriously offering to give Andrew back in replacement to him?
"Take it, Sam. Quinn can have Andrew back...if you leave her and marry me."
Sam was speechless and all he could do was look at her in shock and move back. He felt so many mixed emotions that he just left her then and slammed the door on the way out.

Sam got home late at night and Quinn was still in the living room but she fell asleep from watching TV. When Sam gentle closed the door, she suddenly woke up.
"Hey. You're home." She smiled at him, while covered in a blanket.
Sam smiled at her. "You fell asleep?"
"I was actually waiting for you. I didn't even realize I fell asleep." She giggled but when he came closer to her, she noticed something. His eyes were red and tired. He obviously got done from an intense crying session.
"Sam, what's wrong? What happened?" She stood up and asked.
He sat on the couch and covered his face and shook his head. Quinn came up to him and hugged him. "Tell me, babe. What happened?"
Sam looked at her and he swears he couldn't control the tears in his eyes just by looking at hers. "Quinn, sit down. We need to talk."
Quinn was confused with him but she followed him. She moved back and sat on the longer couch.
Sam sat beside her and held her hands. "I... I know where Andrew is."
She smiled at him like he did a while back in the office. "Oh my God! Where's our son?"
"He's... He's with the biological mother, Jenna."
"Well... Where can we find this Jenna girl? We really need to get him back 'cause I just saw some new cool shoes for him to wear..."
Sam cut her off. "Quinn... Listen to me." He started crying again. "Jenna...is Lara Shireman's foster sister."
"Your...boss?" She asked.
Sam nodded. "Lara made a proposition with her and she agreed to give Andrew back."
Quinn kept hearing good news and she couldn't understand why Sam was crying. "I guess that girl has good used in this world, too but... Sam, why are you crying? Isn't that good news?" She asked, wiping her fiancé's face from all the tears that were falling.
"She only agreed to give Andrew back...if I marry Lara."
Quinn's face fell from what he just said. Her grip on his hands loosens as tears started to fall her face. "You can't be serious? Tell me she isn't serious about this..." She was stunned.
"I didn't give an answer, Quinn. I..."
"You didn't give an answer?" She asked thinking if he was having thoughts about the choices. "Are you having thoughts about her options?" She was starting to move back.
"No, Quinn. It's not that. I just...can't." He broke down. "I want Andrew back as much as you do but...I can't..."
"Is she expecting you to choose between me and my son?!" She was angry by the tone of her voice which was nearly shouting. "I can't afford to lose a husband or a son, Sam!"
Sam tried to calm her down. "Quinn, calm down. I didn't choose okay? I'm not going to leave you either, I promise." He said and hugged her as they both cried. Life's been getting harder and harder for them and neither of them knows how to face the next day anymore.

Sam didn't go to the office next day. He had to admit; he chickened out and was scared to see Lara's face again. Quinn went to school and told Sam she would be back before dinner time. She didn't tell Sam but after school, she decided to look for this Jenna Shireman.
Quinn had good sources aka Brody to find where to look for this girl named Jenna Shireman. When she got her address, Quinn immediately went to their house. Her driver aka Brody waited outside while she was inside doing her plan. She was happy to find out that Jenna Shireman was indeed home with his little boy.
A couple of minutes of waiting were worth it. She saw her little boy Andrew being carried by the girl she needed to see.
The moment Andrew saw her, he laughed. "Mama!" Andrew shouted.
"My baby." Quinn whispered to herself as she felt her eyes about to cry.
"What do you want?" Jenna asked.
"Look. I need to talk to you." Quinn said, looking for something in her bag. She got out some papers and went closer to Jenna. "Please, please, please. Sign the papers for adoption. I want... I need my son back."
"Wait... So you agreed to give up your husband?" She looked at her in shock.
"What? No." Quinn giggled at her question. "You see, I came here to talk to you 'cause we don't want to agree on Lara's terms so I was hoping I could talk you into signing the papers." Her eyes were practically begging.
Jenna just stared at her. Did she think she would agree to her begging just like that? Quinn felt like her plan wasn't working so she did what she had to do. She knelt on the floor and begged for her son back.
"Please. I need my son back. I'm begging you to sign these papers." Quinn cried and Jenna could feel the softening of her heart. She wanted to agree but it won't be that easy.
"Quinn, stand up!" A different voice joined in. Lara came to the scene and asked Jenna to leave the two of them alone. "Look at yourself. Begging for someone else's child."
Quinn stood up and faced her. "Stop getting in the way of others' business."
Lara laughed at her. "You know, you and I should talk tomorrow. We have a lot of things to discuss."
"I'm not giving you my husband."
"Your fiancé. Probably, my future husband though." She laughed and Quinn swore she wanted to grab the lady's lungs and burn it in her face. "Now, get out of my house." Lara ordered.
Quinn didn't want any police in the scene so she just left and thought she'll come back soon. Before Quinn could get out of the house, Lara invited her for coffee.
"Tomorrow at the New York Coffee Way, 3pm. I'll see you there...if you want to have your son back."
Xxx
Sam stayed at home for the second day. Quinn didn't tell him about her adventure at the Shiremans' place and she stayed up all night thinking about Lara's invite. Morning came and she decided to go for it. Maybe some talking will get Lara to fear her. Quinn was a kind hearted girl but when it comes to the important things in her life, she can be the meanest bitch you'll ever come across with.
3 o'clock came and Quinn waved Sam goodbye. When he asked where she was going, she said she just needed to submit some papers to her professor.
Quinn got to the coffee shop about 15 minutes later. Lara was already there , sipping some hot coffee.
"Oh, you came!" Lara said, smirking at her. "Have a seat."
Quinn pulled the chair and sat.
"I already ordered you a cup of coffee."
"No, thank you. I don't want to die of poisoning just yet." Let the sarcasm game start.
"Oh goodness. How did you know?" She snapped her fingers. "Darn it, I almost had you." She had that evilish grin on again.
Quinn raised her brow on her and crossed her arms in front of her. "What do you want, desparate?"
"Well, Sam of course. How about you, desperate? You want to have a child right? But oh no... You can't have one."
"Sad to say, you can't have Sam too. You only have to options. Either you live without Sam or you die without Sam."
"Actually, you know what. You have an option too. You can have Andrew back if..."
"I'm not giving you Sam. He's mine and mine alone. So shut your fucking pie hole and stop asking for him."
Lara stopped drinking and placed down the cup. "You have one choice to make Quinn. We'll both benefit from it and we can get out of each others' hair. You get your child, I get Sam."
"Why don't you just face it, Lara? Sam doesn't want you. Stop forcing yourself with him."
"Really, Quinn?" She laughed out loud. "I'm pretty sure Sam wanted me during his overtime at work."
Quinn raised her brow in confusion. She didn't get what she was talking about.
Lara leaned forward to whisper to her. "Hasn't Sam told you about our late night meetings in my bed room? Oh and yeah, also in my bathroom, my kitchen and sometimes on my desk."
Quinn could feel the tears in her eyes and the anger in her hands.
"We only planned on doing it once a night but sometimes, when we felt really hungry for each other... We go for round two." She was still laughing like the evil bitch that she is.
"Oh...and congratulations. Your fiancé has a really big dick that fits me well."
Quinn couldn't control it anymore so she slapped her hard in the face like she always wanted to the day she met this desperate boss of her fiancé.
"Wow. That reminded me of Sam's constant slapping on my ass when he wanted me to go faster."
Quinn had enough and she grabbed the coffee and intentionally spilled everything on Lara's face. "You're a disgusting little bitch." She said and left the coffee shop. She was in so much rage that she could kill anybody who gets in her way.
"I sent you guys some pictures at home! Enjoy!" Lara shouted but Quinn was already out of the building.
Xxx
Quinn got home a bit late as she was not ready to see Sam's face. She opened the door and their house was a mess. The couches were turned upside down, there were broken glasses everywhere and scattered photos on the floor. Sam was standing in front of the glass door before the mini garden with a scotch in hand.
"Where have you been?" He turned around to face her. "With your boy toy?" He said.
Quinn was confused to what he said. She picked up one of the photos and saw herself with Brody, carrying Andrew and having a good time. She remembered that happened in November last year. She picked up another photo and saw another moment that she remembered to have happened in March. She was crying, face buried in Brody's chest and his lips were clearly on the top of her head.
"Where the hell did these come from?" She asked.
"Someone dropped in the mail today. Why, Quinn?" He asked. "Why?!" He shouted as he threw the glass of scotch on the wall.
"I should ask you the same question, Sam." Quinn walked closer to him, trying to control her tears. She didn't want him to see how weak she was. "You want to know where I've been? I just met with your boss only to find out she was also your fuck buddy!"
Sam was speechless. He knew the truth would come out soon, he just didn't expect it today. Quinn was full of anger and she slapped him in the face.
"You've been telling me you're working overtime but the truth is you were fucking that girl in her bathroom!" She started crying now. "Why, Sam? Is it... Is it because I can't bear a child?" She started to cry harder but with anger.
Sam looked at her, starting to tear up too. "Why were you sneaking up with Brody behind my back?"
"I had no one to talk to!"
"Then, why didn't you talk to me?! Why did you choose him over me, Quinn? Weren't we supposed to be the one fixing our shit and not that guy?!"
"It's because I couldn't! I couldn't talk to you! I felt a sudden change from you ever since you got that fucking promotion from your desperate boss!
"I didn't change, Quinn! You did! Ever since you found out about that hormonal problem of yours, you just wanted to have sex with me to try and bear a child! It wasn't about our love anymore! You only had sex with me to have a child!"
Quinn slapped him again. "Why do you think I begged you to apply for that stupid marriage license, huh? It's because I love you! I loved you Sam! I wanted to make sure that even if I couldn't have a child, I'd still have you. We'd still be together in life!" She cried harder and she was punching him on the chest but she was too weak to even hurt Sam.
"You always think this is hard for you and you alone! Have you ever thought about my feelings Quinn? I'm part of this relationship too. I'm hurting just as much as you are! I'm hurting more actually! Because I see you struggle every day, trying to figure out what's wrong, and I can't do anything about it!" Sam walked to the wall and sat on the floor.
"I tried everything I can...to bear a child, get Andrew back and to keep you at the same time...but now I don't think I want either of them." Quinn picked up her purse from the floor.
"So, what? You're calling off the wedding? Try me, Quinn." He said, wiping his tears.
Quinn exhaled as she felt there were more tears about to come out with the sentence she's about to speak. "As of now, that's all I've been thinking of." Quinn removed the ring on her finger and placed it on the counter. Quinn cried harder but Sam just stared at her. When she reached for the jewellery on her neck, that's when Sam started to cry harder. It was the necklace he got her when they just got together in New York where they first met.
After all the strength she could to leave the ring and necklace on the counter, she left their home. When she got out, Sam punched the wall and started to cry more. After losing a big possibility of having a child, losing their little boy to his real parent, they just lost each other that day.
