Baby S
Chapter Four
It was now the beginning of June and Sam and Mercedes had been dating since the Glee trip to New York although none of their friends knew about the new development in their relationship. Sam Evans lowered his lips down the swell of Mercedes' right breast that peeked out at him from her shirt. As he placed a soft kiss there he felt Mercedes' hands running through his hair, something that he absolutely loved, Mercedes even joked that once he had purred. He might have all he knew was that loved having Mercedes' hands on him. The feel of her on him and around him drove him absolutely crazy. "You know I love these right." he whispered as he switched over to the other side while Mercedes released a quiet giggle. After giving her another kiss, he pushed himself up and looked at her. "What's so funny?" he asked quirking an eyebrow at her, she rubbed her hands over his face and released a contented sigh as a smile slowly grew across her face.
"Oh nothing other than you stating something I already know." Mercedes said as Sam leaned forward and gave her another kiss that Mercedes happily returned. She never thought she'd be like this when she finally got a boyfriend, especially since she never thought she'd actually meet a guy that literally couldn't keep his hands off of her, although deep down she'd hoped for it. Sam was like a breath of fresh for her constantly putting her fears to rest. He never passed up a chance to hold her and tell her just how beautiful she was, something he did daily. She kept waiting for the bottom to drop but it never came came and she was grateful for that. She reluctantly pulled away from Sam as she remembered what she needed to tell him. "Oh stop." she sighed out as she reached out and placed a hand on Sam's nice firm chest, "Whew! Boy you certainly know how to kiss." she whispered as she looked up at him. He pulled back reluctantly and licked his lips as he stared down at her a small smile on his face.
"Thank you for the compliment my vitra," he said slipping in a bit of Na'vi. "But why did we have to stop the fun, I was enjoying myself and I know you were too." he asked with a wink, laughing as Mercedes smacked lightly on the shoulder. Grunting playfully, he rolled off her body and landed on the bed next to her. Turning his head, he placed a quick kiss on her shoulder and sighed. "What's on your mind?" he asked.
"My parents want to meet your parents." she said as turned to look at him. "They want to have a dinner."
"Well you know you'll probably have to wait just to see when they can get off but I'm sure that they'll want to have dinner. I'm sure Stevie and Stacie wouldn't mind." he said with a shrug of his shoulders as he looked at her. Mercedes nodded her head and sighed as she looked at him. "What wrong you nervous?"
"A little, my parents can be a little crazy but you already know that." she said as she sat up in the bed.
"Hey your parents love me." he said with a cocky grin as he looked at her.
"I know but I hope this dinner doesn't make your parents think I'm pregnant or something and this dinner is our way of telling them." Sam coughed and sat up as well while giving her a shocked look. Mercedes took in his face and just laughed. "Boy now I know you don't think that Sam, we haven't gone that far." he blushed bright red at that statement and then reached out for her.
"Just making sure. Didn't want to know my sexy thoughts about you, made you pregnant." he said with a small smile. Mercedes' mouth dropped open in shock for a brief moment before smiling brightly and shaking her head.
"Excuse me." she asked as Sam just smiled and shrugged his shoulders as looked over at her.
"Just something I overheard Brittany saying to Santana." Mercedes grinned at that as she thought about her friend, that girl, she thought with a shake of her head. They both look up as the front door opened. Sam looked over at Mercedes and then over at her clock.
"Your parents coming home early." Mercedes shook her head as she stared at her bedroom door. Sam quickly hopped up off the bed to look for some type of weapon so he could handle this intruder when a loud booming voice shouted out.
"Yo, Mercedes you home." He turned to look at his girlfriend and barely had enough time to jump out of the way as she rushed pass him and out the door. He quickly followed behind her and watched as she jumped into a tall African American man's arms.
"Micah!" she exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He hugged her back and laughed as he swung her around. Sam stood off the side watching the scene with a small smile on his face. He knew how much Mercedes loved her brother and he was glad that the guy was back. He had heard so much about the guy and he was glad that he was finally about to meet the man. He took his eyes off Mercedes just as Micah looked at him.
"Who's this? You tutoring or something Cedes." he asked as he nodded his head over towards Sam. "I didn't know McKinley had a summer tutoring program." he continued on as he looked at Sam from over the top of Mercedes' head. Turning in her brother's arms, Mercedes looked over at over at Sam and sent him a small smile while slapping her brother on the arm.
"No Micah, this is my boyfriend Sam. Sam this is my older brother Micah Jones." Sam walked over and extended his hand out towards Micah who looked at it briefly before shaking it as well. After a moment he took back his hand and looked over at Mercedes.
"I've always liked "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner," didn't really care for "Guess who." he said with a small smirk as he took in both their faces. "Just joking geez!" he said as he looked at Mercedes and then back at Sam.
"I hope you're treating my sister right."
"Of course I'm treating her just like she should be treated. She's my vitra," he said as Mercedes tucked her head as soon as she felt her skin heating up. "Plus I'm treating her just like Mr. Jones said-." Micah smirked at that.
"He gave you the Earth, Wind and Fire speech huh."
"Yeah," Sam said as he looked over at Mercedes. "I guess I better be heading on out, I still gotta pick up Stevie and Stacie from summer camp." he walked over and gave Mercedes a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving, promising to call her later on that evening.
Once they were alone, Micah turned to look at his sister and sighed. Walking over to the sofa, he patted the space next to him. "What's wrong?" she asked as she settled down beside him.
"Nothing much I just thought you'd be dating someone like Azimio by now." Mercedes' mouth dropped open in shock at her brother's words.
"I would never date Azimio-."
"Why you hate black men now?" he asked bluntly as he looked at her. His face cold as he stared at his sister. Mercedes glared at him and shook her head.
"I would never date Azimio cause he's a heartless bully that's made my life at McKinley harder than it needed to be and no I don't hate black men," she paused and shook her head. "Why am I defending myself, I haven't done anything wrong you-."
"Whoa! Slow ya roll, Cedes. I was trying to see how serious your little relationship is," he said jerking his thumb over his shoulder and pointing his finger in the direction Sam had been in earlier before he left. "with that guy."
"Sam." she corrected immediately.
"Right." he said with a smile. "Besides I think it's in the older brother rule book somewhere that I'm not suppose to like him right away. Gotta make him work for this respect." he said as he patted himself on the chest. Mercedes gave him a small smile as he leaned back on the sofa.
"So you're okay with the relationship."
"As long as he treats you right." he said with a small grin. "I don't see what's wrong with this little relationship, now tell me about your school year and about what Azimio's been doing. It seems I need to have a talk with my little buddy." he said as he looked at his sister. Mercedes nodded her head and then sighed.
"Alright I'll tell you but you go first what are you doing here?"
"I finished up earlier than expected so I came home," when Mercedes placed her hands on her hips, he laughed and placed a hand on her shoulder. "No I didn't graduate yet, I wouldn't do that you, Mom and Dad. My graduation is in December."
"Oh okay that's good." Micah nodded his head as he sighed.
"I started the record label-LJ records named it just like we talked about." Mercedes beamed at him as she heard the news. He watched her with a small smile on his face as she clasped a hand over her mouth to keep back the squeal of excitement he was sure she would be releasing anyway.
Sam opened the door to the motel and saw his father lounging on the bed obviously trying to relax before his nightshift. "Alright guys be quiet Dad's trying to sleep so-."
"I'm alright, Sam." William Evans stated as he looked over at his three children his gaze lingering on Sam for a moment. "So how was your day off?" he asked as he straighten up on the bed and looked over at his son.
"It was alright I spent it with Mercedes." he said blushing as Stacie oohed over his words while Stevie just grinned and looked over his father.
"That's his girlfriend, daddy."
"Oh really?" William asked with a ghost of a smile on his face as he looked at his son. "And is she cute."
"Yup!" Stevie said with a grin. "She's bootyful." Sam snorted at that as his father just grinned and shook his head.
"You mean beautiful son."
"That's what I said." Stevie replied as he looked up at his brother. "Right Sammy." Sam grinned and just nodded his head unable to really say much of anything. His brother gave him and his father a look of annoyance and then walked over to where a few of his toys were. Sam wiped underneath his eyes and sighed.
"So when do I get to meet this girl everyone else in the family's met her except me, I'm starting to feel left out." he said with a playful pout. Sam gave his father a ghost of a smile and settled down on the edge of the bed.
"Well her parents want to meet you guys over dinner." he said as he looked at his father. "I told Mercedes I'd let you know so you and mom could figure what would be the best day to meet with them." William nodded his head and looked at his son.
"Next Friday would be best since I'm scheduled for an off day but we still have to check with your mother," he said thinking over everything. "Oh and how is your work situation looking."
"I think I can get that off if just for a little while maybe two to three hours." Sam said with a shrug. William nodded his head and leaned back against the bed headboard, his eyes sweeping over his younger children.
"Good I can't wait to meet the girl that started Disney-Potter marathon, I have still have to thank her for that." Sam just smiled and nodded his head as his father slapped him on the back and laughed. It wasn't until later on that night that he was able to steal some time to call Mercedes with an update on the dinner situation.
"Hey Sam." said picking up his phone on the third ring, he looked over at Stevie and Stacie both sleeping soundly on their ends of the bed.
"Hey just called to hear your voice." he whispered as he glanced at the muted television. "And to tell you that my parents said they could do that dinner next Friday."
"Oh that's good." she said and Sam didn't have to be there to tell that she was smiling. "My parents can't wait to meet your parents. I'm sure the dinner's gonna fine."
"Even once they find out about my family situation about-."
"Sam my parents aren't like that," she whispered. "The dinner is gonna be fine, you'll see." He nodded his head although she couldn't see it. Deciding to move the conversation on to something a little bit more light, he asked.
"So how's Micah? I know you're excited he's home."
"I really missed him, we're so close and it was so weird not having him there to talk too these last four years." she replied softly. "So yeah I'm glad he's home." Sam smiled at that, he hoped when Stacie and Stevie got older that he maintained a good relationship with them like Mercedes and her brother, they certainly had a great sibling bond.
"So did Micah say anything about our relationship."
"Worried my brother might not approve?" Mercedes asked playfully. Sam blushed over the phone as he listened to Mercedes giggle right before she added. "He's cool although he thinks he's suppose to give you a hard time cause you're my boyfriend and he's my older brother. Just some crazy idea he's come up with."
"Can't say I blame him, I'd give any of Stacie's boyfriends a hard time." he said with a smirk as he thought about all the future fun he'd be having. "So did you tell him about Azimio?"
"Yeah I did, told him all the stuff his little buddy has been up too since he left. He promised he'd have a conversation with Azimio soon, so I can't wait for him to get told off." Sam smiled at that and nodded his head.
"Me too, but if he does anything to you this year. There won't be a thing to stop me from putting him in his place." Mercedes sighed and shook her head as she listened to Sam's words.
"I don't want you fighting."
"I know but sometimes things just have to be done." he said softly. "So anything else going on do you want to just hang out on Saturday before my evening shift."
"That sounds fine we can do that." Mercedes said as a small smile came over her face as she remembered what she wanted to tell Sam. "Oh and guess what my brother started his own record label."
"Are you serious?" Sam asked in complete disbelief.
"Yeah, he started it a couple of months ago right before he finished up school. He said some of his backers think he has a great ear for talent and guess who his new star artist is."
"Um," Sam mentally went through brand new artists that had been appearing on the radio lately. "Um, I'm not sure baby. Who?"
"Me. Mercedes Jones." she exclaimed proudly, Sam felt his mouth drop in complete shock as she continued. "He always said he'd start his label and that I'd be the first person there to have my album released."
"I can't-I can't believe that. Mercedes, I so happy for you baby." he said with a small smile, he knew that this was one of her dreams. She told him time and time again how she wanted to be a big time recording artist and it seemed her brother was helping her right along with that. "So what happens now?"
"You mean will I be going to school this fall?"
"Yeah, my brother wants me to go on and finish up at McKinley before I release that album but that doesn't mean I won't be releasing singles and stuff. At least that's what he told me." she said nervously before sighing. "Truth is I'm a little scared to get out there."
"Why?" he asked in confusion. "You have an amazing voice, you'll be fine."
"I like to think so but I don't really look like Beyonce although I love to pretend I do sometimes."
"You're beautiful inside and out and the public is gonna eat that up." There was silence on the other end of the line, and Sam sat forward a bit when he heard some sniffling coming through over the line. "Mercedes, baby are you crying?"
"Happy tears, Sam. It's just that you say the nicest things."
"It's the truth baby. All truth, now stop with the crying. You know I can't handle that, I might just get Stevie and Stacie up and we'll all drive over there and keep you company."
"And we'll have a Disney-Potter marathon?"
"Our whatever you want to watch." he said with a smile, he heard Mercedes yawn through the phone and he smiled. "Am I keeping you up pass your bedtime?" he asked playfully.
"Boy. . .yes you are." she said laughing after she had admitted the truth. "And I really need to go to sleep, I shouldn't fall asleep on the phone."
"You've done it before." he pointed out reminding of the few things that had talked each other into exhaustion. "But I guess I better let you go my Vitra."
"What does that mean?"
"I'll explain it to you when you're older." he said. He smiled as he heard her laughter over the phone. "Goodnight."
"Nighty nighty Sammy." she said in a singsong voice right before hanging up. Sam smiled and turned off his phone. He looked at it for a minute and then shut it off and crawled onto his cot and tried to get some sleep.
Mercedes closed her cell phone and sat it down on the nightstand just as a knock sounded at her door. "Come in." she called out as she turned on her side, just as her brother entered the room.
"Late night conversations with your boyfriend." he said as he wiggled his eyebrows at her while grinning.
"And if it was that's none of your business." Mercedes snapped back playfully which only caused Micah to raised his hands up with a smirk.
"Cool the tude, little Diva." he said with a smile. "I'm just coming in here to check on you and to tell you that I had a talk with Azimio." Mercedes perked up at this ready to here how her brother had defended her to one of her bullies.
"And what did you tell him? I hope you told him off cause he-."
"He was under a lot of peer pressure, Cedes." he said cutting in on her rant. "I know he hurt you but he was seriously going through some things. He just wanted to be accepted and people can end up doing some rather nasty things in order to be accepted."
"Excuse me?" she said looking up at her brother in disbelief, she couldn't believe that he even said that. "What about all I told you? All the stuff he did like making my friend leave the school because of his bullying or-."
"He apologize for that, Cedes. What am I suppose to do? Not forgive him. . .you know that's not very christian of you." Mercedes mouth dropped open in shock at her brother's words mainly because she felt he was right. Holding a grudge against Azimio wasn't very christian of her but she wasn't perfect. "Heck back in school even I bowed down to peer pressure," he said with a shrug of his shoulders. "I guess it's just a part of high school."
"But Micah-."
"He also told me, you were apart of the Glee club." he said giving her a look as he stood up. Mercedes really didn't know what to make of that look but she instantly didn't care for it.
"What's wrong with Glee club?" she asked angrily thinking about the friends she had made within that club, not to mention the fact that she had met her boyfriend through the club. Micah, sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Nothing's wrong with Glee club, I just didn't know you were in it. So tell me have you had any solos during the competitions. I know they had to use you." he said with a smirk as he crossed his arms over his chest and looked down at her. Mercedes looked away from her and mumbled out her answer. "What did you say? No need to be shy now because I know you're not shy when it comes to singing."
"I haven't had any solos."
"You kidding me? You must be freaking kidding me cause there is absolutely no reason for you to have never even had one." he said angrily as he looked at her. "That teacher must be a freaking joke but I bet he only uses you for notes that no other kid in the group can hit." he said fuming as he shook his head in disgust.
"Micah, I do enjoy that class."
"Even if they're using you, Mercedes." he asked bluntly as he looked down at her. "You deserve to be in the spotlight if that clown at McKinley can't figure that out then you just need to walk away and focus on other things."
"Like what?"
"Like your album. . .the singles you want to put out, writing your own solos."
"I thought you said I wouldn't really have to worry about all of that until I was almost done with my senior year."
"You can get tutors."
"No Micah, I'm finishing up at McKinley." she said as she crossed her arms over her chest and glared at her brother who immediately sighed and walked back over to her bed. Wrapping his arm around her, he pulled her to his side.
"I'm sorry about that. I certainly don't want to pressure you into leaving school before you're ready. I'm just really upset about that and I guess I got carried away." Mercedes nodded, she should have known her brother would flip out once she told him about her status in Glee club. He was her biggest supporter besides her parents and Sam. "Just promise me you'll go for the solos this year. I would love to come to a competition and see you sing."
"There's always church."
"Naw, I wanna see you on stage with your Glee club." he said with a wink. "Now I know Azimio pissed you off with his bullying and stuff but try to understand the pressure he was under. Just move on, no need in wasting energy holding a grudge when you have so much more to look forward too," he nudged her then and smiled. "Right."
"Right." she said reluctantly as she looked at her brother, who just smiled and nodded his head. "You've got a lot more to do then just worrying about him and his faults," he paused and looked over at the clock on the nightstand. "I guess I better let you get some sleep."
"Alright but um Micah."
"Yes." he said as he paused at her open door.
"Are you still friends with Azimio?" she didn't know why she asked but she seriously needed to know what her brother would say. He placed his hand on the doorframe and looked at her quietly for a moment before nodding his head. "Micah!"
"He needs someone. . .he needs a role model and since I'm his friend I'm gonna help him with his little anger problems and such. Don't worry I'll make sure he doesn't bother you or your friends again okay." Mercedes just nodded her head as Micah sent her another smile before slipping out of her room. Leaning back against her bed, she stared up at the ceiling feeling bad about telling her brother to abandon Azimio especially if he was going through some type of crisis. He had been right, she hadn't been acting very christian like. Well, she would try but if Azimio stepped out of line once again, she wouldn't be responsible for what she'd do to him.
A/N: Did ya'll get the first hypocritical insult that Micah gave our couple? Hint: It's in the movie titles.
