Chapter 11: Bells by Yinx

Mercedes sat in on the couch in the family room with Simeon chewing on play car keys on her lap as she sewed samples of her new designs. Family time was one of the things they decided that would happen at least once a week when their family would grow but for now family time was every day thing. Sam lean against Mercedes watching Sport Center playful tapping Simeon on the shoulder and when his son would turn to look at him he would make a different silly face making the baby's laugh ring throughout the house. This was Sam's favorite time of day besides lying in bed with Mercedes talking or playing thumb wars for an hour or so before they went to sleep each night. Mercedes chuckled as Simeon would look up at her grinning wide after his dad would make him laugh like she had something to do with his father silliness. Sam tapped Mercedes shoulder, she shook her head smiling.

"That may work with Lil' Bit but not with me, Goldie" she giggled.

Sam tapped her again, she shook her head. "Awe, come on Cede" she heard him laugh.

"Fine, wha…" she turned and her month was captured by his.

"Sam" she breathed when he finally let her go so he could breathe too.

"What" his honey greens dancing mischievously as he rested his forehead on hers.

"You… you took my breath away" she whispered gazing at him.

"Good, means I'm doing my job right" he smiled at her as he lean back on the couch.

Mercedes phone beeped with a text smiling; she said "That was Santana saying that she and Brittany will be for Simeon's birthday next month."

Sam smiled "What about Kurt and Blaine."

"Kurt can make it but Blaine has started his teaching job so he can't." she shrugged sadly.

"I'll see if Skye and Rebecca can come to." He said making Simeon laugh again.

When the doorbell rang; Sam got up and went get it.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE" Mercedes heard him yell. She tossed her design aside and she and Simeon went to see what was going on.

She saw Finn standing in the doorway as Sam tried to close the door.

"Sam, wait. What do you want Finn" she asked.

Finn starred at her and her son that could have been his if he had played his cards right the summer they were together. "I'm sorry for doing this, but I keep scheduling and cancelling flights trying to get up the courage to come here again after what happened. I want to ask you something Cedes" he glanced at Sam "I want to know if there was even a glimmer of a chance we could..."

"No" she said firmly

Finn sighed "Mercedes I'm in"

"No Finn" she said quietly stepping in front of Sam. "I meant what I said. She looked at him. I don't want to lose you as a friend Finn but if you keep this up I'm…"

"Okay Cedes all I wanted to do is..." He sighed holding up his hands "Okay I'll stop" he glanced at Sam who was shooting fiery green daggers at him. "I promise" he nodded stepping out of the doorway.

Mercedes gave him a quick side hug. "You'll always be my friend Finn but nothing more."

Finn sucked in a deep breath. "I understand" he said looking longing at a yawning Simeon.

"There is someone out there for you" she squeezed his hand. "And just maybe they aren't in glee club." She turned back to go back inside the house. "Don't you dare get back together with Rachel" she yelled over her shoulder.

Finn chuckled as he realized it was just him and Sam now.

"I'm really sorry dude" Finn said "You're very lucky... I wish... I wished I had seen her before you did."

Sam sucked in his cheeks. "I think I've been patient enough with you Finn come on to her again..." Sam punched him in the nose. "And next time I won't stop at one. Yes I am very lucky that I saw her when I did. Otherwise she probably would have ended up with the likes of you and you're flip-flopping heart" he slammed the door. Finn had stumbled back holding his nosed that had started to bleed.

Sam walked back into the house shaking his hand and was met with Mercedes who handed him a bag of frozen peas. Simeon sat in a bouncer on the kitchen counter fighting the sandman.

"Thanks" he mumbled.

"I wish you hadn't done that, Sam" she said quietly.

"What why not" he asked placing the peas on his bruising hand.

"Because he's our friend and your best friend" she answered.

"He's not" he began.

"Even though he may have lost you trust now. You will forgive him just like I did; because that's the kind of person you are. You're a very loyal friend, Sam I love you for it" she interrupted.

"I'll call him tomorrow" he rolled his eyes.

Mercedes smiled "Good"

Sam lean in and kissed her as her phone beeped. Mercedes giggled.

"What is it" Sam asked as he moved around her to Simeon bouncer.

"I have a doctor's appointment" she answered turning to face him.

"Mercedes what's wrong" he face full of concern.

"Nothing to worry about it's just my birth control" she said hugging him and kissing his chin.

He chuckled as he smiled down at her "Groovy that means I can ravage you tonight no holds bar" his eyes danced mischievously.

"You can't use the words 'groovy' and 'ravage' in the same pickup line" Mercedes shoved him playfully rolling her eyes. "Make sure he takes his nap" she grinned grabbing her keys; she could hear him laughing as she walked out the door.

She arrived home two hours later. "I'm home" she sung "And guess what I hav..." Mercedes stopped dead in her tracks.

Sam was stand with his arms crossed near the fireplace and her parents sat opposite him on the sofa; her mother holding a sleeping Simeon.

"Mom, Dad what are you doing here" she asked walking over to Sam who embraced her.

"Well your father and I decided that we..." Mrs. Jones started.

"More of your mother really" Mr. Jones said.

"Yes, well, we want to be a part of this family no matter how untraditional it may be" her mother smiled at them.

"Okay" Mercedes said glancing at Sam "But one thing first Mom and Dad. My family is not untraditional it's traditional" she step out of Sam arms and sat between her parents. "Our family values are the same as yours and our foundation is strong built on love, trust, and honesty. Sam and I love each other very dearly" her eyes on her father "Yes I've made mistakes, Daddy, but I'm not your little girl anymore I'm a mother now and Sam will be my husband. I would like your blessing daddy, but Sam and I are going to get married."

"So what you're tell me is that it doesn't matter what I think." Mr. Jones asked quietly.

Mercedes smiled "Yes and no I would love to have you there to walk me down the aisle and to be a grandfather to Simeon but I won't have your negativity around my family. Do you understand"?

"So you're giving me an ultimatum"?

"Yes to both of you" she said taking Simeon out of her mother's arms and walking back to join Sam.

Her parents looked at each other. Sam put his arm around Mercedes and pulled her close. "You did well, Yawne" he whispered in her ear. He kissed her cheek and took his sleeping son out of her arms.

"So what do you say" Mercedes asked

Mercedes parents stood.

"We have decided if you want us we would like to be a part of your traditional family" her father said.

Mercedes smiled as tears came to her eyes as her father hugged her. "I missed you Daddy" she whispered sobbing into her father's shoulder.

"Me too Baby Girl"

"Yawne, are you asleep" Sam whispered in Mercedes ear later that night. He moved closer and pulled at her panties then slipped a finger inside her.

"Sam what are you doing" Mercedes stirred.

"Wanted to know if you were asleep"

"I was" she moaned as she could feel him entered her.

"So we got the blessing" he sighed in her hair as he moved slowly inside her.

Mercedes body arched as Sam thrust deeper she bit her lip "W...we finally get to get married. 'Cause all this playing house stuff was getting boring" she sighed feeling his hands roaming over her body.

Sam chuckled as he kissed her breathlessly. "Yeah because playing house is nothing like marriage" he pinch her nipple gently which made her cried out.

"So have…you call Kurt yet for wedding advice" Sam pant; he pinned her on her side so she couldn't move as his rhythm increased.

"Oh god Sam" she cried into the pillow as Sam pounded her harder and faster. She never knew why Sam insisted on talking to her while they had sex she had to concentrate really hard to put a full sentence together.

"Did you, Yawne" he asked making a hickie form on her neck.

"Y…yea he gets a break at the first of the month so he'll be here to start planning as well as Simeon party" she gripped the sheets "Sam I'm cumming"

Sam pulled out and came on her butt. He hugged her tight "I think you owe me an apology, woman" he said pulling her on top of him. He stroked her cheek as he smiled up at her.

"What did I do"?

"You waking me up with your hotness, that the only way I can get back to sleep is getting me some of your loving" he grinned.

Mercedes shook her head "So us having sex can be compared to Simeon bath time it puts you right to sleep, huh" she smiled kissing him

"Nah because most of the time when we make love , it last a lot longer than one round and I'll always make sure of that, and we can have adult bath time too" he winked.

"No holds bar" she giggled.

"Once your birth control takes affect I'm planning an all-nighter, and damn straight it will be a no holds bar. The only bar you're allowed to hold is the headboard" he gave her his lopsided grin.

Mercedes closed her eyes as she lay her head on his shoulder "I'm going to be swore for days, am I."

Sam chuckled "Not as swore when we are on our honeymoon babe".

Mercedes laughed.

"Yawne" he said quietly linking their fingers together "I hear wedding bells, can you" he asked kissing each finger.

Mercedes watched him as he did so tears coming to her eyes. She nodded "Yes Sam" she nuzzled her face in his neck feeling his stubble against her cheek.

"I love you Mercedes"

Mercedes licked his neck playfully making him giggle "I love you too, Samuel Evans."
