Chapter 13: Day by Day by Yinx
"Sam"
"No"
"But Sam"
"Noooo" he whined in a boyish tone.
Mercedes giggled as Sam's hair tickled her neck.
Today was their last day together before their two week separation. Sam had woken up early and had taken a slumbering Simeon out of his mother's arms to his grandmother. "Is it selfish that I'm kicking my son out of bed"?
Mrs. Jones chuckled as she took Simeon in her arms "No Sam it's your last day together and quality time with your fiancé is just fine" she winked at him "Go on we'll see you tonight at the rehearsal."
Sam walked back upstairs to Mercedes room. She was still asleep and didn't stir when Sam got back in bed and snuggled close watching her sleep. Only when the alarm go off two hours later did she wake and smiled groggily at him.
"Sam we have to leave sometime" Mercedes laughed. She laid bone straight with Sam on top of her; his arms and legs wrapped tightly around her.
"No Mercedes and you can't make me" Sam shook his head briskly his voice muddled because of his face on her breasts.
"So you're just going to motorboat me all day is that the plan"?
Sam snorted as he laughed lifting his head to look at her "Hadn't thought of that but that's my plan, now" he smiled at her.
Mercedes cupped his face and kissed him "It's only two weeks then we will be together forever baby."
Sam frowned "I thought the whole no sex thing was going to be hard but at least I could hold you and see you every day; now..." His voice trailed off as he laid his head on her shoulder.
"We have been away from each other much longer than two weeks, Sam" she whispered stroking his hair; she felt him tense.
"Don't remind me" he muttered bitterly pulling her even closer to him.
They laid in a melancholy silence for a long time each in a deep thought on how they could make it through the weeks to come; until her father knocked on her door.
"Mercedes, Kurt is here" he said through the door.
"Thanks Daddy I'll be down in thirty."
Sam sighed sadly as he slowly moved off of her and pulled her up to sit with him; they looked at each other trying to reassure each other with a smile.
"It's my dress fitting; I'll see you tonight at the wedding rehearsal and dinner though" she whispered hugging him.
Sam nodded as he watched her go to bathroom to get ready.
"Mercedes it's perfect it makes your ass look like you can bounce quarters off it" Santana smiled.
"Sam is not going to know what to do with you" Lauren laughed.
Mercedes chuckled "Oh I'm pretty sure he already has plans for me." She remembered that Sam had made a countdown sheet for when her birth control took effect. He had kept her up all night; they each had to drink a pot of coffee the next day to just keep from collapsing.
"And now veil, or no veil" Kurt said as he flipped through the racks.
Mercedes shrugged "What do you think mom."
"A short veil" Mrs. Jones answered wiping tears away as Kurt handed her a few choices.
After a trying on a few "This is the one" Mercedes said quietly admiring the whole view in the tri-mirrors. "I'm ready" she smiled softly.
Sam sat between Mike and Skye as they watched Stacie and Simeon play in the sandbox while Stevie, Aiko and Akemi played tag at the neighbor park.
"So are you guys doing a shared custody of Simeon" Mike asked.
"Yeah Mercedes is going to take him this week and I'll have him next." Sam replied.
"Mike we are going to have to keep him entertained so he won't get into a funk; you should have seen him last time" Skye said.
"Already have it covered an Avatar, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter marathon plus a rematch of dueling Angry Birds."
"I'm fine guys cause this time we are getting married" Sam smiled them as he got up and walked backwards towards the children playing. "Mercedes parents gave us their blessing…" He turned around and sat down with his son and sister. "And I am ready."
They crowed around Breadstix only party room for Sam and Mercedes engagement party. Simeon sat in his mother's lap as she fed him. Sam pulled her chair closer to him as he kissed her neck. She looked at him sadly.
"Promise me, we will never be apart for this long of a time again" she whispered gazing into his eyes.
Sam placed his forehead against hers "Not even for a day, Yawne" he forced a smile and putting his arm around her and kissed her deeply.
"Okay, okay, OKAY, Love Birds" Kurt said standing as he clinked his glass. "Excuse me attention over here."
Mercedes and Sam sighed and looked at their friend. "Yes Kurt, we're listening" Mercedes smiled laying her head on Sam's shoulder.
"Okay so we are gathered here tonight to finallycongratulate my kindred spirit Mercedes Jones on finding the man of her dreams. And to my other besty Sam Evans; I'm sorry that I thought you we're gay when you first came to school, but seriously you should have known not to dye your hair with lemon juice and mayonnaise."
The table laughed.
"But little did I know that you would become a part of my family. I'm glad you did win over sister's heart, because she deserves someone as wonderful as you. I don't know how you did it because she really didn't like you."
Sam glanced at Mercedes grinning with a knowingly.
"But I think the way you treated me may have won you the fair lady's heart" Kurt continued.
Mercedes kissed Sam's cheek "Just one of the reasons why I fell in love" she whispered softly in his ear.
"When you two broke up... I... I thought it was over and that even though you may get married someday it would be to the wrong people, be…because you two are for lack of a better word are soul mates; Sam, Mercedes. I have never seen a couple so in love... and love has a way of finding each other again and you did" Kurt started fanning his eyes "With all this said because I'm getting overly emotional; I would like to toast to the future Mr. and Mrs. Evans."
Day One
Mercedes sat on the floor at Borders bookstore children's section. Simeon walked around giving her books that had fallen on the floor. Kurt sat across from her in one of the kiddie seats flipping through wedding magazines.
"Kurt"?
"Yeah."
"Do you think I'll make a good wife"?
Kurt looked up from his magazine with a puzzled look "Of course, Mercedes. Sam is so lucky to have you in his life."
Mercedes smiled as she took another book from Simeon. 'Thank you' she signed and Simeon signed 'You're welcome' back. "I'm so ready to get married Kurt but I just don't want to disappoint him."
"Sam's love for you Mercedes is unlimited which means you can basically do no wrong in his eyes" Kurt said leaning forward.
"I know that's what I'm worried about it I'm human, I'm going to make mistakes. He holds me on a high pedestal and I'm scared of what will happen if I fall off" she said quietly playing with her engagement ring.
"That man will always hold you on that pedestal, Mercedes Jones, because that's where you belong; and if you fall off he will catch you and put you right back up there."
Day Three
"Sam come on you wuss" Skye laughed and she pulled her best friend into Vickie's.
"I can't go in there" he said trying to plant his feet into the ground but he wore the wrong shoes. "Nurses are too freaking strong."
Skye laughed "Santana told me that the one you picked out for Mercedes went over well; don't you want to get her another one or two."
"Fine" he groaned but smiled as he thought of Mercedes in her new teddy on their wedding night. "She won't have it on for long though."
"That is probably true" Skye laughed as they looked through the multi- colored choices. "What about this" she asked holding up one.
Sam shook his head "To much fabric" he smirked
Skye shook her head laughing. "Oooo how about this"
"Definitely not too many buttons"
Skye sighed and looked some more.
"You know I still can't believe she chose me" he whispered.
"And why do you say that Sam she loves you dearly."
"I know" he sighed "You know she told me that she didn't like me for most of the year we first met" he gave her a small smile.
"Really now, I can see that; you speaking Na'vi all the time is a bit annoying. I'm playing, Sam" she laughed when he gave her a hurt look.
"Anyways yeah" he rolled his eyes "I don't even want to think of where I would be without her" he smiled slightly sad. "I owe what I have in my life right now to her... She helped me keep my grades up in high school so I could get a scholarship for college... she changed my major from pre law to animation and got me an internship to DC comics of all places" he shook his head "and now if I don't want to play football anymore I have a job there waiting on me. She's too good for me."
"Yeah she is" Skye said smiling.
Sam looked at her in shock.
"All women are too good for the men they choose to spend the rest of their days with. And most men don't realize what a diamonds they have. But you Samuel Evans are like only twenty-five percent of all men out there do realize what they have. You're a man that will prove that he is worthy to have his woman on his arm, and that alone makes you worthy of deserving her."
Day Seven
"Simeon you ready to go see Daddy" Mercedes asked as she placed his duffel and car seat near the door of her parent's home.
Simeon came running screaming Dada at the top of his lungs.
The doorbell rang Mercedes expecting it to be Sam saw that it was Mike and Kurt.
"Where's Sam" she asked looking around them to the car.
"Mercedes no looks sees means no looks sees" Mike laughed.
Pouting she gave Mike the car seat and the duffel while Kurt picked up Simeon.
"Only one week left Mercedes" Kurt smiled at her turning to walk down the walkway. "You can do it."
"Where's Mercedes" Sam asked as he too looked around his friends to Mike's car.
"You two are seriously made for each other" Kurt smirked as he handed a sleeping Simeon to his father.
Sam kissed his son's cheek as he led them inside his parent's home. Sam placed his son in a playpen and took the car seat and duffel from Mike. "Does it wear off" he asked him quietly.
Mike smiled at something only parents would know "Nope, it just gets stronger, dude" he patted Sam shoulder.
"Okay Sam, even though Mercedes is my sister from another mister I'm going to plan your bachelor party" Kurt said.
"That's okay Kurt I don't want one."
"Like hell, Santana is planning Mercedes..." Kurt began.
"Hold up Santana is planning Mercedes bachelorette party" asked holding up his hand and glancing at Sam.
Sam rolled his eyes smiling "I trust her Mike; besides she gets it too good at home she's too weak to even try to get it anywhere else" he winked at them.
His friends laughed.
"Who's too weak to get what" Stacie asked walking in from the kitchen.
Sam turned crimson as Kurt and Mike doubled over with laughter.
"Nobody"
Stacie rolled her eyes "Anyways Sammy, you need to stop talking about my sister 'cause she wants to talk to you" she said handing him the house phone.
"Wait... What do you know about…?" Sam's eyes narrowed.
"Stuff" she said and walked off towards her room.
Sam put the phone to his ear "Yawne"? He nodded as Kurt mouthed that he would call later and he and Mike left.
"Hey, Baby" said his beloved.
Sam smiled as he sat on the couch watching a dreaming Simeon wipe his nose. "It's so good to hear your voice Mercedes I've missed you."
"I miss you too, did Kurt and Mike make it yet with Simeon"?
"Yup, he's asleep now but I'm going to wake him up in a few minutes it past the time limit" he glanced at his watch "But I'm going to talk to you first 'til then would you like that, Cede"?
Mercedes chuckled "Yes Sam I would love that."
Day Twelve
"Alright everyone Brits and I is here, and it's time to gets my party on" Santana called out through the Jones' home.
Rachel and Quinn sat talking on the couch while Tina and Lauren helped Mercedes bring out party chips and dip.
"Okay so what are we going to do first" Tina asked once they all sat down.
Quinn laughed "I think we should call our husbands and see how they are handling the kids."
"I talked to Sam he said they were taking them to see the new Pixar movie then to Chuck E. Cheese" Mercedes smiled at her.
Santana clapped her hands "Ladies I've got vodka, and shot glass it's time to gets our drinks on, and play the Have You Ever game" she smiled mischievously pulling out the bottle and glasses.
"Oooo Santana I can't play I'm three months pregnant" Quinn said sadly as she got up went to the kitchen and returned with bottles of water.
"Buzz kill" Lauren muttered taking the water.
They laughed.
"I have some sparkling cider" Santana said pulling out the bottle. She filled the shot glasses with each person's desired drink. "Okay Mercedes why don't you start"
Mercedes ears turned red.
"Something really juicy" said Tina.
"Okay, Have you ever… um… done it more than once in one day" she could feel her face getting hot.
They all drank.
Tina sat to Mercedes right "More than three times"
Mercedes, Tina, Lauren, Rachel, Brittany and Santana drank.
"More than five" Lauren asked.
Tina, Mercedes, Brittany, Santana drank as the other giggled as they drank their water.
"More than…eight" Quinn asked raising an eyebrow.
Tina and Mercedes drank.
"So it's down to the sluts and their hot husbands" Rachel giggled loudly clearly already drunk.
Tina and Mercedes glanced at each other blushing hard.
"If it's more than ten I'm done" Brittany laughed throwing up her hands.
Mercedes took a tiny sip.
The girls rolled around in their seats laughing.
Quinn the first to come down from their laugh high "Okay…okay… so Sam can last more than ten rounds in one day"?
Mercedes nodded biting her lip.
"I have to say I'm impressed; I didn't know the Joker had it in him" Santana chuckled.
"All day, though" Lauren asked.
"Yes, it was just like a few quickies during the day, then at night…" Mercedes voice trailed off.
"Wait the question is; is it good" Lauren smirked.
Mercedes couldn't help but smiled "I wasn't able to walk straight for at least two days after"
They all laughed again.
"Okay, okay my turn have you ever had sex out…" Brittany began.
"This is so unbelievably boring" groaned Kurt as he watched Sam, Mike, Skye and Puck play Halo 4 on the gaming system.
"You're welcome to join in, Kurt" Sam said glancing at his friend.
"Seriously" Kurt rolled his eyes "I wouldn't know what I was doing besides I planned other stuff for us to do".
"Yeah like what" Mike asked as he killed Skye avatar again.
"STOP KILLING ME" she screamed.
"Well I thought we could hit up the town a bit, then come back and see who might come through the door" Kurt answered. He took a big breath and unplugged the system. What followed was uproar.
"Kurt the fuck man that wasn't even a bit funny" Puck said standing up.
"Yeah I didn't even get my turn" Artie chimed.
"The game will be here when we get back, guys" Kurt said crossly "Sam this is your last night as a single man don't you want to live it up"?
"I haven't been single since I was seventeen, Kurt" Sam smiled "Even when me and Yawne weren't together I still considered myself as hers"
"Awe Sam that's so sweet" Skye said "Tear".
"Whatever Sam we are going to go out and…" Kurt rolled his eyes as the doorbell rang. "What the mess she wasn't supposed to be here until later"
"No strippers Kurt" Sam warned as he got up to open the door. "Finn"?
"Hey, Sam" Finn gave him a small smile.
"What are you doing here"?
"I heard you were getting married and…" Finn began quietly
"I invited him, Sam" Skye said stepping forward and taking Finn's hand pulling him inside the house.
"But why" Sam asked closing the door looking confused.
"Well, one he is your best guy friend 'cause let's be honest I'm the best friend here" Puck and Mike snickered. "Second Mercedes invited him to the wedding and it's not fair that he was going to miss the bachelor party."
Sam shook his head at Mercedes, 'my woman is too good'. "Well Finn you're welcome to stay and…um yeah" He extended his hand to him.
"Thanks Sam" Finn said taking it.
Sam gave him a hug.
"Awe my guys" Skye said fake sobbing. "Group hug for all the guys" she wedged herself between Sam and Finn.
"But you're not a guy" Puck laughed as they all got in on the hug.
"Yeah well, tonight I am" she stuck out her tongue at him.
"Okay come in guys let's go" Kurt said. "It's time to live it up."
