Chapter 12: Simeon by Yinx
"It's about fucking time"! Santana cried as she walked into the house a month later.
"Nice to see you too Santana; Hi Brittany" Sam said closing the door.
"Hey Sam, how are you" Brittany asked chirpily
"You see Santana this is how you come into a person's home" he gestured to Brittany.
"Whatever Guppy I lived here for almost two years it's my house too" she rolled her eyes walking toward the family room.
"I would like to see a bill paid if you live here" Sam muttered under his breath.
"Like I don't hear you, you're mouth makes a grand canyon echo seem like a whisper" she scoffed.
"What's the date, Sam" Brittany chimed in before Sam could insult back.
"That's what they are discussing now" he said as Mercedes and Kurt came into view.
"Hey Brittany Santana" Mercedes smiled
"We are discussing wedding plans" Kurt squealed clapping his hands as Santana and Brittany sat on either side of him.
Sam sat back down beside Mercedes and picked up his play book. He had told Mercedes that she could have anything she wanted for the wedding but she was his the wedding night. He sat in just for support.
"Okay so bridesmaids' dresses" Kurt went on.
"You know I like what you did for us at your parents wedding" Mercedes smiled "same fabric different styles"
"I was thinking the same thing" Kurt cried "I swear Mercedes if wasn't gay."
Sam cleared his throat. They others giggled.
"Okay what about food" Brittany asked "I would be happy to do cater".
"Really" Mercedes said. "That would be great. I really just want it to be a small wedding nothing big or gaudy."
"No can do, Girlfriend I have been planning your wedding longer than you have so basically all I need from you is money." Kurt said surprisingly stern.
Mercedes smiled shaking her head.
"So all you need is for me to cut you a check" Sam asked looking up at him.
"Half the check, Sam" Mercedes said placing her hand on his knee "Equal partners right"
Sam kissed her check "Right".
"Yeah the kiss just reminds me no fooling around 'til the wedding night." Kurt smirked.
"What"? Sam cried looking at him.
"No sex" Kurt said.
"Yeah I know what 'fooling around' means, Kurt; I'm saying that ain't gonna happen" Sam said sounding like Mercedes.
"Trust me, Sam when you get your hands on Diva over here after six months of withdrawal it will be so worth it."
"Six months" Mercedes cried "Yeah I'm with Sam I don't think I can last six months" she grinned at Sam.
"I'm serious it will be so worth it. Blaine and I did it and it was like our first time all over again" Kurt smiled as he sat reminiscing.
Sam and Mercedes looked at each other 'I'll do it if you do it'.
"Well I guess I could do it" Sam shrugged "But you can be damn sure I not going to be happy about it" he said sitting back and picking up his play book again.
"Oh and while on the subject you won't see each other for the two weeks til the wedding" Kurt pointed out returning to the wedding planner in his lap.
Sam tossed his book aside "Okay your crossing a line now, Kurt" he said crossly "I'll do your shitty six month rule but not seeing…"
"Trust me again Evans when you see Mercedes on your wedding day it will be magical" Kurt interrupted. "Then you'll never have to be apart for the rest of your days."
Sam grumbled as he got up "I'm going to check on Simeon" he announced.
"I don't think your plan will be going over well with Sam, Kurt" Mercedes said as she watched him leave.
"He'll get over it when he realizes I'm right."
"I hope you are."
Sam sat in bed that night when Mercedes came in hold the baby monitor. She chuckled as she took off her pajama bottoms and leaving on her oversize sock monkey sleep shirt and boy short panties. Sam hadn't budged when she straddled him.
"Why so glum Samwise" she said crossing her arms playfully copying his demeanor.
Sam sighed sadly as he looked at her "I don't think I can go six months without making love to you Yawne then not seeing you at all for two weeks..." he said wrapping his arms around her pulling her close.
"Awe poor baby" Mercedes smiled cupping his face with her hands and giving him an Eskimo kiss. "The two week thing will be rough for both of us and so will the love making, but if Kurt is right it would make our wedding night all the more special.
"True. I won't know what to do with myself 'til then, I mean just looking at you makes want to jump your bones, Sexy Mama" he said brushing his lips against hers.
"Very sweet of you to say my Froggy Lipped Prince" Mercedes smiled at him "but you know I was thinking about what he said and he didn't say anything about touching" she smirk naughtily as she took his hands in hers.
Sam raised an eyebrow.
"Like you can touch me here" she whispered taking his hand and slipping it under her shirt onto her bare breasts.
Sam grinned.
"And I can touch you here" she reached her hand through the opening in his boxers and began to stroke his member slowly.
Sam tilled his head back and groaned as he felt his manhood get instantly hard.
"And maybe, just maybe you could if you wanted to touch me here" she placed his other hand between her thighs she smiled softly.
Sam looked at her "You're a little sex minx you know that" he said kissing her as his fingers moved her panties aside then slip inside of her.
"It's always the quiet ones you have to watch out for" she winked at him as her body began to move against his fingers.
Sam woke up a few days later to excited bouncing and wet kisses. He opened his eyes and met bright gray ones.
"Happy Birthday, Bit" he smiled as he pulled his son into strong hug.
Simeon letting his pacifier fall out of his month grinned back "Dada"
"Oh my god, Mercedes" he yelled scrabbling out of bed still holding tight to his son.
"What…what was wrong" she said running out of the bathroom with a brush her hand.
"Simeon just spoke he said Dada" Sam beamed at her.
"I know he has been saying it all morning and pointing at you" she smiled at them. "Just thought it might be nice surprise"
"Better than nice brilliant" he kissed sons cheek. "You ready for your party, Simeon" he asked in a Wubbzy expression.
His son laughed.
Since Simeon's parents traveled a lot they never put him in a daycare so his birthday party consisted of his parent's best friends. Mercedes sat on the floor leaning against Sam's legs with Simeon in her lap; Skye's partner Becca video-taping as Simeon tried to open his modest pile of presents.
"He has grown so much" Brittany smiled. "He'll be walking soon huh" she watched Simeon pull himself up on the coffee table.
"I hope not it feels like yesterday I just had him" Mercedes said sadly watching Simeon play with the wrapping paper as she placed the Go Diego, Go play set Santana and Brittany had gotten him with the ones from Kurt and Blaine, Skye and Becca, and the shipped ones from Sam and hers parents.
"Thanks everyone's for all the presents" Sam said "I'm sure he'll play with them once we throw away the paper."
Becca handed the camera to Sam. "Don't grow up to fast for mommy's sake" she said picking Simeon up.
Simeon starred at her for a moment then started wiggling and reaching for his father getting fussy.
Sam stood up "I think it's time for a nap" he sighed taking him to his room.
"We are going to go I have a night shift, and Becca has an art showing in the morning" Skye said getting up.
Mercedes walked them out.
"Okay Mercedes it's time to talk dress" Kurt said pulling out huge wedding books and magazines as she came back in to join them.
The four friends each took a book and started thumbing through. Only speaking when one found a contender. Mercedes bit her lip looking at the models. She cursed herself for feeling bad about her body. Sam always told her that she was beautiful, every day even. And he was the only one she really needed to impress on their wedding day. Being a size sixteen still after Simeon turned one was no excuse. She would have to ask Santana to help her work out; 'she could be my own Jillian Michaels'.
Mercedes stood in the bathroom mirror a month into her wedding plans; looking at her body. She had been working out hard to go from a size sixteen to a fourteen was good but not good enough. She wanted to be at least a ten by her wedding day. She took out a measuring tape and wrapped it around her hips and groaned at the number it gave her.
"Mercedes what are you doing" Sam asked as he leaned against the door frame of their bathroom his arms were crossed as he starred at her.
"I... I was taking my measurement for my dress" she said looking at him through the mirror.
"Truth"
Mercedes shook her head Sam could always tell when she was lying. "Okay so I was just trying to lose a few before the wedding" she whispered looking down at the tape number in her hand.
"Mercedes what did I tell you about your body"? He asked coming up behind her and taking the tape out of her hands.
"I know" Mercedes sighed "But it's not fair that if I feel like I can better myself I can't because you say I'm perfect the way I am" she said avoiding his eyes in the mirror.
Sam inhaled deeply. "It's because you are perfect the way you are but if you feel like you have to do this to impress me you're wasting your time, Love. You need to do this for you then go ahead, okay."
Mercedes felt guilty. He could always see through her bullshit, and he called her out. She looked down at her slippers. She felt Sam put his arms around her.
"Mercedes I don't understand you. You're like a nymph in the bedroom but you have all this self-doubt of how wonderful and beautiful you are" he said gently lifting her head to make her look at herself in the mirror.
Mercedes smiled slightly "I'm still working on the self-confidence thing" still avoiding his piercing honey green eyes.
"Sexy Mama would you be so selfish and deny me your jelly" He kissed her neck.
Mercedes glared at him but she smiled.
"Yeah God gave me these big hands so I can thoroughly love you, woman. And I plan to do that for the rest of my days" he said turning her around to kiss her. "Let's get started now" he smiled against her lips as he picked her up and carried her laughing into the bedroom.
Time seemed to fly by along with getting her show ready for New York she kept getting updates from Kurt on her wedding; and now she and Sam had made good on their promise and took Stacie and Stevie to New York this time. Kurt had insisted for all of them to stay at his and Blaine's home. So the house was usually noisy from sun up to sun down.
"Okay there are far too many people in this house" Kurt said as Stacie and Stevie chased Dean into hallway and down to the basement game room.
"Don't run" Mercedes yelled after them as they slowed down.
They walked into the den to find that Simeon had pulled himself up on the coffee table and was edging along with tiny steps.
"I'll go get Sam" Kurt whispered walking backwards quietly.
Mercedes pulled put her phone as she began to film tears streaming.
"Oh my" she heard Sam a couple minutes later. She glanced over and saw he had his phone out as well and was moving quietly across the room to get another view point. They gasped quietly as Simeon reached the end of the table and extending his right arm first then his left. Smiling he took five baby steps to the couch. Mercedes almost collapsed from crying. Sam went over and scoped his son up into his arms cheering and kissing the baby's shocked face.
Santana, Kurt, Blaine, Dean, Stacie, and Stevie all clapped and cheered as Simeon began to cry from all the unwanted attention. Mercedes took him and gave him a quick squeeze then wiped away his tears as he calmed down a bit but was whimpering. He laid his head on his mother's bosom and sucked his first two fingers.
Sam sat in bed watching Mercedes and Simeon sleep. They had decided to put Simeon in bed with them otherwise the six months of abstance wouldn't be obtained. They had broken to rule five times already. He watched Simeon snuggle a little closer to his mother's breasts. "Just you wait Lit' Bit just two more months and you'll be back in your crib and I'll be back where I belong" Sam thought jealously. He chuckled to himself that he was actually jealous of his son. Mercedes stirred waking up.
"What's so funny" she asked looking at him sleepily.
"Nothing" Sam said moving to lie down on the other side of Simeon.
"Can I have a kiss goodnight" Mercedes asked half sleep.
"Yes, but I promised you something else too" he smiled sitting up on his arm.
"What was that"?
Sam smiled as he stroked her cheek; she was more than half way to dream land and he needed to work fast. "I promised I would sing to you, remember"?
"Sam, baby you already do a wonderful job doing that" she smiled closing her eyes.
"I know I do, but I want to sing you a song that tells you why I love you"
Mercedes nodded; she was sinking and sinking fast.
Sam cleared his throat and began…
I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I know I'll be what you always needed
Then I know you'll see the heart in me
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I love you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I love you and your beautiful soul
"I love this song" she whispered opening her eyes a bit to watch him sing.
Your beautiful soul, yeah
There's no more time to think it over
'Cause you and I are moving forward
They may change their minds
If given the chance
We will last forever so c`mon let's try
I'm not crazy for wanting you
'Cause Baby I see that you want me too
We aren't gonna waste our time
Do you see things the way I do
I just wanna know if you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I love you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I love you and your beautiful soul
You beautiful soul, yeah.
"Thank you for the song, Sam" she said smiling up at him.
"Always, Yawne" he said kissing her goodnight.
