Hello! We're back with the final installment of the Conflict Series!

Resolution Chapter 1

"Oh my Gosh! How am I just finding out you do impressions!" She said giggling in the booth she shared with Sam. She took a sip of her wine and shook her head. "I swear it's like I learn something new everyday. You would think after two months of officially dating I would know it all." She teased.

They had been going strong for two months and they had really found their rhythm. With them both working during the day, they spent most nights either at his or her place, allowing for one special night that Sam dedicated to Jade and Mercedes dedicated to Mic. Then every Friday they had family dinner night, it wasn't as awkward as she thought it might be.

"Are we ready to order?" The waitress said smiling sweetly over to Mercedes. "You know…if he's not getting the job done, I am ready to swoop in and take you from him." She teased causing Mercedes to laugh, she had been their waitress every time they came and every time she would hit on Mercedes Sam would give her the stink eye.

"Yvette, I've told you not to hit on my woman." Sam replied and the woman just laughed.

"He's so possessive, I know for a fact I could and would treat you better just blink twice." Yvette joked and Mercedes looked over at Sam blinking once, noticing the expression on his face before she blinked again. "Well, guess she's mine now!"

"The hell she is! I'm gonna ask for another waiter." He said, making both of the women laugh.

"Yeah, yeah all talk, will the usual work tonight?" Yvette asked.

"Mhm, I think I want to try Saltimbocca di Pollo this time." Mercedes replied and Yvette nodded as she wrote it down before looking at Sam.

"I'll try the Frutti de Mare fra Diavolo with risotto."

"Any wine?" She asked. "Chianti or Chardonnay?"

"Surprise us." Mercedes said and she nodded before walking away. "So now that I'm no longer your woman, how are you going to win me back?" She teased.

Sam smirked, leaning next to her ear. "Would you like for me to show you here?" He asked, nipping at her neck.

"Oh I think you definitely need to show me, I mean I am sure Yvette plans on doing that too." She teased.

Sam growled in her ear as his hand slowly worked up her thigh. "That woman is not getting anywhere near you…or this…" He said, spreading her thighs and moving his hand under her purple and pink sundress. It was by far one of Sam's favorites as it curved and hugged her breast, pushing them right in his face and flared out at the hips, allowing him uninterrupted access to her sweet spot.

"Sam…" She whimpered.

He moved her panties to the side and slid a finger inside of her. "Do you know how bad I want to spread you out on this table and feast on you in front of everyone. Let them know I have the best tasting meal in this whole damn place."

She moved her hips slightly to take more of his finger.

Sam added another finger thrusting faster. "Then I would spread you wide and show everyone just how good I can give it to you."

"Sam…" She shuttered. "So close."

He nipped her ear. "Good." He loved watching her fall apart and seeing her like this in a crowded place where everyone could see but no one knew just made things even hotter. He wasn't like this with Penny or anyone else, just Mercedes. "Come on Darlin' cum for me."

Mercedes threw her head back gripping Sam's knee and the table as she swallowed her screaming, cumming against his fingers. "Lord, I am in love with a damn freak, ima need a minute." She said sipping her water feeling spent without a piece of hair out of place.

Sam smiled triumphantly. "Think you got another one in you?"

Mercedes smiled and started to respond but his phone started ringing ."You might want to answer that, I'll be back going to fix myself." She replied, slipping out of the booth.

"Jade, what's up?" Sam asked, watching Mercedes walk away.

"Daddy, something's wrong I feel really sick."

"Sick how? Why didn't you call your mother?"

"I did, she didn't answer and Katherine is out… can I… can I talk to Mercedes?" Jade asked, groaning in pain. Sam started to get up but saw Mercedes coming and waved her on letting her know it was serious.

"What's up? Everything okay?" Mercedes asked and Sam shook his head,

"No, Jade's on the phone and she says she's sick and wants to speak with you." He answered, Mercedes just nodded and took the phone.

"Hey Jade, it's Mercedes. What's wrong?"

"I…I don't feel well."

Mercedes looked at Sam. "Can you tell me what hurts?"

"My side…it hurts really bad. It's like a cramp but worse…I know its not from eating because I haven't been able to eat all day." She said weakly.

"Okay sweetie, can you drive yourself to the ER? We can meet you there, we're not far." Merecedes asked, grabbing her purse.

"It hurts to move Mercedes. It hurts so bad. I think-" She was cut by a wave of nausea and became sick all over the floor.

"What's happening?" Sam asked.

Mercedes put her hand over the phone. "I can't be sure but we need to get to her now."

"Please…it hurts so bad… I want my dad…" Jade cried back on the bed.

"Okay sweetheart, we're coming right now, try not to move for now okay?"

"Okay, thanks Mercedes."

Sam was already inside the car when Mercedes hopped in, he left a Tip on the table and just wanted to get to his daughter. Though they lived about ten minutes from the restaurant, Sam got home in five minutes, not caring if he got pulled over.

Mercedes followed him into the room and she could practically feel the fear coming off of Sam. Jade was curled up into a ball, tears falling as she shook silently.

"It's okay sweetie." Mercedes said walking over to her, avoiding the mess on the floor. "Sam, can you get me a cold compress and your thermometer?" She asked looking over to Jade. "When did you first start feeling sick?"

"This morning at mom's, it was just a dull ache, nothing bad, but as soon as I got home I started feeling worse." She said weakly.

Mercedes watched Sam hesitate for a moment, then walk out the room, only to quickly return with a cold compress, thermometer and a towel to clean up as best he could.

Mercedes took her temperature and sighed, using the washcloth to clean her face and cool her down. "We need to get her to the hospital. She has a fever of 103.1."

Sam didn't hesitate this time he moved and swooped Jade up in his arms and carried her down to his car, as he placed her in the back she held onto him tightly. "Don't let me go Daddy, please." She said.

Sam nodded. "I won't. Mercedes can you drive?"

Mercedes nodded, taking his keys and hopping into the driver's seat. It didn't take her long at all to get to the hospital, once there she had Sam get Jade out of the car as she ran inside.

"Sunshine! Oh I am so glad you are working."

The brunette smiled at Mercedes. "How can I help Dr. Jones, you look…off."

"My…Sam's… we have a sixteen year old female with abdominal pain, nausea, high fever, I think it's appendicitis, is Dr. Anderson here?"

Sam ran in and Mercedes grabbed a gurney with the help of Sunshine who paged Blaine for Mercedes.

Sam laid Jade down and ran his hand over her hair. The last time he saw her like this was when she was five and she broke her arm. She didn't want anyone near her but her dad, so it surprised her that she wanted Mercedes. "It's okay baby girl, I'm here. I'm right here."

As they moved her to the exam room, Dr. Blaine Anderson walked into the room.

"Dr. Jones, isn't this your night off? Couldn't stay away could you?" He said smiling. "What do we have here?"

"This is Jade and she's not feeling too well." Mercedes said.

Blaine nodded, looking at Sam. "And you are?"

"Her father. Sam Evans."

Blaine raised an eyebrow and looked at Mercedes. "Oh the one Tina told us about?"

"Blaine, do your job and check Jade out. Don't make me go over your head." She warned.

"What? gonna tell Rutherford to scold me?" He sassed back with a murmur putting gloves on as he looked at Jade. "Okay young lady, I am going to feel around your abdomen can you tell me where it hurts?"

Jade nodded, but the moment he hit her upper right abdomen she screamed out in pain.

"Here are the tough questions Jade I hear you are sixteen, are you sexually active?"

Sam's eyes widened as he looked at Mercedes fearfully. Jade shook her head. "No, I'm a virgin."

Mercedes didn't miss the relief on Sam's face or the fist bump he did when he thought no one was watching. She shot off a text to Mic, as Blaine finished his exam and asked Sam questions about Jade's medical history.

"Mr. Evans, it looks like Dr. Jones was right and she has an acute appendicitis…which means her appendix has become inflamed, we need to remove it. I am going to schedule her for surgery first thing in the morning, we will give her something to relieve the pain for now.

He looked to Sunshine, "Lets get her some Morphine for the pain and get her scheduled.

Sam looked terrified about her having surgery, Mercedes smiled. "Don't worry, I am gonna make sure she's not in there alone." She turned. "Sunshine, make sure to put me on the schedule. I don't care what Blaine says, don't remove me."

"Why would I remove you?" She asked, handing the chart over.

"I'm just saying, he might try to have someone like Harper in there but don't let them change it. Can you grab the meds now though?"

Sunshine nodded. "Ok, you got it Dr. Jones."

Sunshine walked out the room and Mercedes walked over to Jade. "I promise you are gonna be taken care of here. We are going to get some meds into you, and help that pain." Mercedes said softly.

Jade nodded and closed her eyes, swallowing through the pain. Sunshine walked in working around the room and scanning Jade's wrist band before giving her the Morphine.

Mercedes sighed. "Sam you should call Penny, let her and Karl know what is going on."

Sam nodded but didn't move. "Are you sure she's gonna be okay?"

Mercedes smiled softly. "I promise. I know this is scary, but I promise we will do everything in our power to make sure she's okay."

Sam bent down to kiss Jade's forehead and then walked towards the door.

Mercedes watched as Sunshine prepared the IV in Jade's arm, letting the young girl hold her hand for comfort.

"I am really glad you are here." Jade finally spoke. "I love my dad, but when it comes to me he can get a bit emotional."

"I am the same way with Mic, it's a parent thing. But I am glad I am here too, you know you can count on me." Mercedes said lovingly stroking her hair. "You are also being so brave."

"I'm really scared but the meds are working so it doesn't hurt that much…will the surgery hurt?"

Mercedes sighed. "You won't feel a thing during surgery, but after you will be sore. I am gonna make your sleep as peaceful as I can, if you tell me your favorite song or poem I can play it or recite it as you fall asleep."

Jade nodded looking out towards Sam. "Do you love my dad?"

"I-"

"And how are we feeling?" Blaine said as he walked in.

Jade nodded. "The pain isn't as bad."

"I am going to have Sunshine take you to get an Cat scan and then we will bring you back in here."

Mercedes could see Jade was growing nervous so she moved over to her and took her hand. "I will be here with you the entire time and when you wake up me and your dad will be here. Okay?"

Jade sniffled, nodding. "Thank you and I'm happy you will be here when I wake up."

She smiled. "And to answer your question, yes I do."
