Chapter 1: Where do We Go from Here by Yinx

Mercedes sat on the couch talking to Jean when Sam walking in from training practice. She smiled as he collapsed besides her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Mercedes quickly got off the phone and went got Sam a Gatorade and plate of dinner she had made. "How was practice" she asked handing him the plate and drink.

"Rough, thank you Yawne" he said taking the dinner she offered. "Coach says I will start in the game on Monday"

"That's great, babe" she smiling watching him eat.

"I have tickets and VIP passes if you want to take Santana and Brittany.

"They will enjoy that… I have to go to Milan for a couple of days. To tie up loose ends and to move everything here."

"But the baby"

"Sam I'm barely a two months along, I'll be fine" she said kissing him.

"Cheer up Sam" Skye said as they watched the football game "She not gone forever this time"

Skye and her partner Becca lived a town over. Skye who was a nurse at Baylor had the day off and decided to spend it with her best friend.

"Seriously Sam, you are making me depressed."

"Sorry" he moped. "I miss her, she just shouldn't be traveling"

"You can't keep her in a bubble, Sam she has her own life, her own job, you can't keep that from her"

"I know" he sighed his eyes were on the TV but not watching. "I was thinking about asking her to marry me again"

"That's great"

"But she won't until she and her parents reconcile. She will want them at the wedding."

"Can you blame her; its every girls dream to have her father escort her down the aisle and their parents being there for the ceremony? She's happy right now with just you and your family with her; plus you are about to be a father, Sam."

Sam smiled. "I am going to be a dad" he looked her grinning from ear to ear.

"Enough of this" Skye gestured at the game "Let's go baby shopping" she stood and held out her hand "we can surprise, Mercedes when she get back with a finished nursery"

Sam grabbed her hand as he stood. "Sounds like a plan"

Sam groaned as he woke up to the doorbell. Looking at the clock it was one in the morning. Stumbling he pressed the intercom in the master bedroom.

"Who is it"

"Hi Sammy" said a familiar voice.

"Stacie, what are"?

"Sam, come and open the door its freezing" said an older manly voice.

Sam put on clothes and went to open the door. His family stood their smiling at him. He ushered them out of the cold and gave them all hugs and kisses.

"Where's Mercedes" Stacie asked taking off her jacket and looking around.

"In Milan she will be back tonight" Sam said putting their coats in the coat closet and leading them to the family area where they sat.

"The house it beautiful Sam" his mother said looking around.

"Thanks mom, Mercedes picked it"

"Woman has good taste" his dad said smiling.

"That she does" Sam said sadly thinking of Mercedes.

"You okay Sam, it looks like you haven't gotten a good night sleep in days" his mother asked walking over and feeling his forehead.

"I'm fine, I really don't sleep well without her" he smiling shaking his head "stupid huh."

"No not stupid, you're just a strong young man that cares deeply for his love your father is the same way" his mom stroked his hair.

"Here let me take you to bed" Sam said standing seeing his little sister rub her eyes sleepily.

"Good 'cause I'm tired" Stevie said yawning.

Sam stood in the guest room he gave to his parents.

"There's something else bothering you, son" his father said placing a hand on his eldest shoulder.

"Mercedes parents aren't please with us being together or her being pregnant on top of that." He sighed on the verge of tears. "Mercedes says she fine with it but she'll will want them at the wedding and even the birth."

His father gave him a reassuring smile and squeezed his shoulder. "Sam, they will come around, it's their first grandchild after all and their daughter."

Sam gave a small smile, "That's what Brittany said."

"That girl isn't as dumb as she seems" chuckled Mr. Evans.

"You should at least start encouraging her to start talk to her parents. But don't push too hard Sam these things need time to heal" his mother said wisely.

Sam nodded and gave them both hugs and wished them a good night as he left.

"We need to go and talk to the Joneses when we get back to Ohio, Harold his wife said turning down the blankets to get in bed."

Harold shook his head "I was going to say the same thing."

Sam felt her kisses as he smiled in his dreams, but they didn't stop when he opened his eyes and saw Mercedes grinning down at him.

"You're early" his said cupping her face and kissing her.

"Early flight" she moaned as his hand moved under her shirt and lips moving to her neck.

"Did you get the things done you needed to do" he whispers as he removed her clothing and moved on top of her.

"Yes" Mercedes sighed as Sam entered her. "I've missed you" she said moving strands of hair out of his eyes so she could see the passion in his mischievous green eyes.

"Not as much as missed you" he kissed her deeply and began to move within her.

"B...Brittany told m...me that your parents are he...here" Mercedes gasped as he moved her legs over his arms so he could thrust deeper in her.

"Yeah...they...surprised...me yesterd...yesterday" he groaned as she met his thrust with hers. "Damn you feel so good, Mercedes." He sighed into her kisses.

She giggled "Do I make you horny, baby" she nibbled at his ear with her best Austin Powers impression.

"God your perfect, and you have no idea, Woman" he growled as he began give her a hickie on her breast.

Santana and Brittany were entertaining the Evans when Mercedes and Sam arrived in the kitchen and hour in a half later. Stacie and Stevie hugged Mercedes as she kissed their cheeks.

"Mercedes you are positively glowing" Mrs. Evans said embracing her.

"Thank you Mrs. Evans."

"Sam told us about your parents" Mr. Evans said from the nook where he was eating at with his children.

Mercedes grimaced at his mention of her parents. "Yes but let's not talk about that, I just so happy you are here." She said giving them a smile.

Sam knew that smile was fake; but he didn't call her on it now it will wait for later. Santana and Mercedes started talking about the shops and clothes in Milan and Brittany chimed in with the glorious food. They moved from the kitchen to the family room and Sam watched her from across the room playing the X-Box Kinect with his siblings.

"She going to make a great mom" Santana said coming up beside him looking at Mercedes too.

Sam smiled "Never thought she wouldn't. Um...when was that wedding supposed to take place"?

"I told Kurt to hold off on that because of..." Her voice trailed off.

Sam jaw tightened as he nodded "How are we supposed to fix this" he thought.

That night, Sam lay in bed listening to Mercedes talk about her new ideas for her fall line as she flipped through a vogue magazine.

"We need to talk about your parents" he said stroking her bare back.

"There's nothing to talk about Sam" she said clinching her jaw as continued to flip pages.

"I want them there at our wedding, Mercedes" placing his hand on the magazine to stop her from flipping pages. He watched her close her eyes as her nostrils flared which she did when trying to control her anger

"Sam I'm really tired" she moved out of his arms turning away from him and pulling the covers to her ear "the baby needs rest."

"Don't you dare use our baby as an excuse not to talk to me" Sam moving so she had to look at him. "This is important to me"

"Why… I'm fine with them not being there" her eyes narrowed as she tried pushing out from under him but he wouldn't let her go.

"Well I'm not, Mercedes, I want to do this right, I want to start this family right; which means all of us, mine and yours."

Mercedes closed her eyes and let tears fall and she felt Sam kiss them away. "We can be a family still without them though, please don't make me Sam" she said looking into his eyes, pleading.

Sam closed his eyes and sighed "Mercedes…marrying you and having this baby… my family is here for us don't you want that"?

"I do Sam, but I'm asking you please let it go" she cupped his face and kissed him softly "at least for now."

"Fine" he whispered "but this isn't over, Mercedes." He lay back down on the bed and pulled her close to him. "Night, Yawne"

"Night Sam" she whispered back.

Both of them laid awake in silence as the night pressed on.

Mercedes and Santana sat in the kitchen looking at the sonogram of the baby. The Evans had left the day before and Mercedes and Santana had driven Sam and Brittany to the airport. Sam had an away game that Sunday and Brittany had to check up on her restaurant back in California.

"A boy, Sam is going to be so psyched" Santana said "So where's the pecker again"

"I wish Sam would have been there" Mercedes pointed it out.

"It's not that big" Santana squinting at the photo.

"Seriously, it's a baby Santana, a still developing baby" she said rolling her eyes.

"I know just thought it would be bigger it being half black and Sam not lacking in that department either from what I hear" She smirked.

Mercedes bit her lip as her ears reddened. Sam took no prisoners in the bed she knew they were loud but not that loud. The doorbell rang and she was thankful that that conversation could end.

"Damon"! She cried hugging her brother.

"Mercedes good god you have gotten fat" he grinned at her.

Mercedes punched him in the stomach playfully.

"Oof... love you" he said kissing her cheek.

Mercedes shook her head as she led him to the kitchen.

"'Sup Santana you taking care of my sister" he asked

"Of course though she can be a handful" Santana smiled at him.

"I am not." Mercedes pouted playfully.

"Yes you are, now with a baby on the way Sam really has his hands full" he teased.

"What are you doing here" she said faking about to hit him again.

"Got transferred to a base here and I wanted to see my sister" he grinned from ear to ear "plus I want you to sing at my wedding."

"What you're getting married" Mercedes exclaimed. "Who would marry you"?

Damon stuck his tongue out "Her name is Renee Washington we have been dating for three years. She wants you to sing since I showed her some of the old tapes of you."

"Awe that's sweet I would be honored. When is going to be" Mercedes asked.

"At the first of the month we want to get married before I ship out."

"Sooo cute big brother" she said pinching his cheeks "Where you going to have it"?

"In Ohio" he said looking at her seriously.

Mercedes face fell.
