Sam woke up and looked at the body lying next to him. He loved that he had fallen asleep next to Mercedes again. He missed the way she smelled and how when getting ready for bed she just didn't care what she looked like around him. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and he got to sleep next to her. He knew how lucky he was that someone hadn't come in and gotten to her before he did. He had to make it work this time; he loved her and nothing was going to stop him from being with her.

Sam got out of bed and walked to the kitchen to make his morning coffee, as he always did. He didn't realize that Mercedes had followed him into the kitchen and was watching him from behind.

Mercedes had really missed Sam too. She had tried dating, but since she wanted to wait until she was married it was hard finding a man as understanding as Sam. She knew that he loved her more than anything and didn't mind waiting until they were married to be intimate with each other.

"So," she finally said from the doorway.

Sam quickly turned around startled at the sudden other voice in the room. "So, what," he asked sitting down at the small table in the corner of the room only large enough for two people to be seated at.

"Sam, I think I'm ready to settle down," Mercedes started. "I've won a Grammy, I've traveled the world touring; now I just want to love."

Sam almost spit his coffee out. He knew that she was getting closer to want to settle down, but he didn't expect her to bring it up so soon. "Are you sure," Sam asked taking her hands in his. "Us seeing each other for the first time in over a year; I don't want you to do something that you're just not prepared for."

Mercedes sighed deeply looking Sam directly in the eyes. "Sam Evans, I want to be with you. I want to wake up every morning with you. I'm ready," she said squeezing his hands.

"So, are we officially dating again," Sam asked her.

"Yes," Mercedes said and leaned over the table to kiss him.

"Where does the phrase 'sleep like a baby' actually come from," Blaine asked walking back into their bedroom with Hepburn in his arms.

"I've been wondering the same thing," Kurt laughed watching Blaine make goofy faces at their daughter. "Do you have to go to the studio today," Kurt asked quickly throwing his clothes on.

"Yeah," Blaine responded, "we're bringing in the lead actress of the show and having her record. I want to be there," he explained. "Shouldn't be more than three hours."

"Alright, hopefully she'll sleep while you're gone," Kurt said pointing at Hepburn. "And if she's sleeping so is Papa," he said placing a light kiss on Hepburn's cheek then a full one on Blaine's lips.

"You're making papa cranky," Blaine said to his daughter. No matter how tired or cranky either of them were they just smiled when they saw that little miracle they had in their lives. Nothing would ever feel as amazing as being a parent.

"I'm not cranky just very tired," Kurt replied gently tugging Blaine's arm telling him he needed to follow him into the kitchen for breakfast. "Seeing you two beauties in the morning, how could I ever be cranky," Kurt asked tickling his daughter's tummy.

"I could give you—"

"Not now, Blaine," Kurt snapped. Kurt walked over and opened the refrigerator door. "We need to call Rachel. Three bottles left," he told Blaine.

Blaine nodded his head and sat Hepburn down in her bouncer chair that they had moved into the kitchen. "Got it. I'll text her and stop by on my way home after the studio today."

After breakfast Blaine hurried off to the studio leaving Kurt alone with Hepburn. "Papa and Hepburn are gonna have so much fun today without Daddy around," Kurt said picking up his daughter and walking to the living room.

Artie and Tina were just about to leave for the day. Tina was putting on her jacket and opened the door to find a Mike Chang standing on the other side getting ready to knock. "Mike," she said shocked as Artie came rolling up behind her.

"Hi, Tina," Mike said not noticing the ring on her finger. "Artie," he almost shouted when he saw Artie sitting directly behind her.

"Mike," Artie said wheeling up so he could give his old friend a hug. "What are you doing in town?"

Mike hesitated knowing that he was in New York to win Tina back and she had obviously moved on from him. She was living with Artie and seemed happy enough. "Kurt and Blaine. The baby," he lied to his friend.

Well, it wasn't a total lie. After speaking Tina for a little while he was going over to Kurt and Blaine's to meet the new baby. He had been sent several photos of her and couldn't wait to meet her in person, but all he could think about at the moment was Tina.

Tina was the most beautiful woman that Mike had ever seen. He had tried dating in the last seven years, but his mind kept going back to his first love. The girl he shared so many of his firsts with. He knew that he may be too late, but he had to get everything he was feeling off of his chest or he would forever regret trying to win the love of his life back.

Artie said a quick goodbye to Tina and Mike while Tina decided that she'd just get to work a little later than planned and hoped none of the trains were running late.

"So you guys are living together," Mike said once Tina had closed the front door.

Tina paused for a moment before responding to him. "Um, yeah. Normally engaged people live together," she responded.

Mike didn't speak. He looked down at Tina's hand and saw the beautiful ring that Artie had given to her. He felt like he had been punched in the gut and almost wanted to cry right there in front of her. He just loved her so much. He thought back to Kurt and Blaine and Brittany and Santana's weddings and how Tina proposed to him and he had to explain to her that eventually someone would come into her life and love her so much she wouldn't even think about him. He didn't realize that he was going to need the same speech given to him.

Tina was starting to feel tension between the two of them as they stood in silence. She didn't want to have any of this going on between them. Mike was her first love and she would always love him, but she knew that she was supposed to be with Artie…or she thought she was supposed to be with Artie. Seeing Mike again confused her and she didn't know which way was up let alone which man to choose.

"Would you like some tea," she finally asked. "Or coffee. I think we have some." Tina walked into the kitchen to see if they had anything and to escape the tension building in the main room. She put her hands on the edge of the counter to brace herself up as she tried to process everything happening in her mind.

Mike stood in the living room looking at every wall and picture. Tina had become very successful and so had Artie. He could tell that they were perfect together. He knew that he was too late and he shouldn't even try to win her heart back. It wouldn't be fair to anyone involved.

Tina walked back out to the main living space with two cups of tea and a smile plastered across her face. "It's really good to see you," she said handing him the tea. "So what have you been up to?"

Mike didn't answer at first. He sipped his tea as they both went and sat down on the couch.

"Dancing," Mike finally said with a slight chuckle in his voice trying to mask his heartbreak. "The usual. I've been in a few shows in Chicago and I've been teaching some classes on the side," he explained. "I want to thank you for teaching me to sing. If I had never learned it would have been harder to get roles."

Tina began to blush slightly. "It was my pleasure," she said smiling at him. "It sounds like you're really living your dream. I'm really happy for you."

Mike smiled. "You seem to be living yours too. That's really, really great," he told her.

"It was so awkward," Mike said to Blaine as they walked through Times Square. "Like I came here hoping she'd be ready to be with me—"

"Wait, didn't you turn her down," Blaine said his friend. "She has already proposed to you and you said 'no.'"

Mike knew Blaine was right, but he still couldn't help what he was feeling. "I know. Maybe I needed some time. She is so amazing and beautiful and talented. She's the most incredible woman I've ever met. I tried dating other people and I never had what I had with Tina with any of them."

"To be fair what you had with Tina you had when you were in high school," Blaine said to him. Mike nodded in agreement. "But you can't come in and try and break them up. I mean Kurt could have done that when I was dating Dave and he didn't. He wasn't exactly subtle with letting me know he still loved me and wanted me back, but he didn't push. You can't push."

"So what you're saying is if I don't push Tina she'll come to her senses and take me back," Mike asked.

"No, what I'm saying is you need to be respectful of their relationship and you never know what could happen," Blaine said with a smile. "Now, do you want to meet my kid?"

"Yes," Mike said happily.

Blaine and Mike jumped on the first train in the correct direction and headed for Blaine and Kurt's uptown apartment.

"So you guys live in the ritzy neighborhood," Mike laughed.

"No, we just like it here because when Hepburn is a little older we have Central Park right there," Blaine said pointing to the park a few blocks down.

"There are parks all over New York," Mike said.

"Yeah, but…look I just say 'yes' as Kurt makes decisions sometimes," Blaine told him making both of them laugh. "I am the dutiful husband."

"I'm sure Kurt does the same thing sometimes," Mike laughed.

"Yeah, then he does whatever he damn well pleases. You know Kurt," Blaine responded.

They both laughed as Blaine let them into his apartment building.

"You two are rich," Mike said looking around at the building. "Holy shit." Mike was amazed by how extravagant the building was on the inside as he rode the elevator up to Kurt and Blaine's floor. He was excited to see their new apartment. He hadn't been into the city in a few years and the last time he was there Kurt and Blaine were still living in a tiny apartment in the village.

"Welcome," Blaine said opening the front door to his apartment letting Mike walk in first.

"This is really nice," Mike said taking a look around.

"Thank you," Blaine said as he walked towards the hallway leading to the bedroom knowing Kurt would appear out of nowhere to give him a kiss. And he did. "You are always right there," Blaine laughed kissing his husband again. "I love that about you."

"I always will be," Kurt replied.

"You two are still so sickeningly cute," Mike said staring at the men kissing each other. "Like high schoolers."

"We try," Blaine laughed taking Hepburn from Kurt. Blaine turned around with the baby in his arms "Hepburn Elizabeth Hummel-Anderson meet your Uncle Mike Chang," he said showing the baby to Mike.

Mike stopped. She was the most beautiful baby he had ever seen. "She's gorgeous," Mike said with a large smile on his face. "And that's saying something because wow Blaine…"

"Yeah, I know we're such twins," he said laughing bouncing Hepburn a little.

"How old is she now," Mike asked.

Blaine looked at Kurt. "Nine weeks," Kurt answered.

"You should know that Blaine," Mike playfully said.

"Yeah, once she gets into the years I'll remember," he laughed.

"You still think I'm two years older than you," Kurt said as he started picking up the few toys he had thrown around the room while playing with Hepburn on the living room floor.

"Simple mistake," Blaine said. "You want to hold her," Blaine said smiling at Mike.

"Yes," Mike answered quickly reaching for the baby. "I've never really held a baby before," he admitted.

"Watch him," Kurt shouted quickly turning around making sure his daughter was safe.

"Just support her head," Blaine said handing Hepburn to Mike. "Kurt will kill you if he sees you not supporting her head."

Mike stood there staring down at the beautiful little girl in his arms. He could feel the happiness in the apartment. He knew that both Kurt and Blaine were smiling while watching their little girl reach for her Uncle Mike. If he wasn't able to have everything he wanted at this point in his life he was really happy that his friends were able to have everything to make them happy.

Sam had decided that he was going to properly ask Mercedes to date him. He had set up an entire romantic evening complete with a homemade, by Kurt, candlelit dinner. He had chosen the perfect music to go along with their dinner and one of Mercedes' favorite movies to watch together on the couch afterwards. He thought he had planned the perfect evening for himself and Mercedes and wanted it to go perfectly.

"Kurt," Sam pleaded knowing Mercedes was going to be home soon and Kurt wasn't finished with the dinner yet.

"I'll be done in two minutes," Kurt said as he added the last of the seasoning to the sauce he was cooking. Kurt quickly finished the food and explained to Sam what he needed to do with each dish to have it served properly.

Sam didn't really know what Kurt told him, but he got most of it and figured he learn as the dinner went on.

"Thank you for this," Sam said pushing Kurt out of the apartment and hailing him a cab.

"You're welcome," Kurt responded. "I hope all goes well." Kurt jumped into the cab Sam had called for him and headed back to the Upper East Side.

Mercedes walked into the apartment just minutes after Kurt had left. "What smells amazing," she asked walking into her home. "And who made it because you can't cook," she asked laughing.

"I got some tips from Kurt. The master chef," Sam laughed walking into the living room and giving Mercedes a quick kiss before taking her jacket and hanging it up. "We have dinner and one of your favorite movies queued up and ready to go."

Mercedes looked around the apartment and noticed the candles everywhere and the house had been cleaned up slightly. "You did all this," she asked him.

"Yes," Sam responded kissing her again. "Now if I could direct you to your seat," he said ushering his girlfriend to the table to sit down.

Mercedes told Sam about her day and how recording three songs drained her in the studio. She told him that two of three songs she recorded were about him and he couldn't help but blush a little.

Sam knew how personal Mercedes music was and that he would never be a subject unless she really truly loved him. Knowing that at least two songs she had recorded for her next album were about him made him even surer of his feelings for her. If he had a ring at that moment he would have proposed. However, he knew that he didn't need to be rushing this relationship. He loved her and she loved him and he needed it to stay that way.

After they had finished dessert Sam cleaned up the table and let Mercedes relax before turning on the movie.

"Sam, what was all of this for," Mercedes asked once Sam had walked back into the living room. "You're not usually the romantic type."

"I can be romantic when it's someone I really care about," Sam said sitting down next to her. "And there is a reason I did all of this. I wanted to properly ask you to be my girlfriend," Sam said almost shyly staring down at his hands like a child.

Mercedes sighed and looked at him. He looked so adorable and vulnerable. "Of course I will be your girlfriend. This is the sweetest thing you've ever done," she said kissing his cheek. "A true romantic."

The couple sat on the couch cuddling for the entire movie. Sam couldn't believe that he was finally going to have Mercedes for the rest of his life. They weren't married, but he just knew that nothing could ever come between them again. This was it for the two of them. And Sam wasn't going to let anything happen.

"What was up with Mike when he came over today," Artie asked as Tina took care of the dinner dishes.

"Um, not really sure," Tina chuckled. "He's in town to visit the baby and wanted to stop by and say 'hi' I guess," she continued.

Tina knew exactly why Mike had come over that morning. She could see it in his eyes that he was at her doorstep to win her back, but was too late. Tina really did love Artie. He was an amazing man. Talented and sweet. She had to admit she missed Mike. They used to dance and sing together around each other's houses in high school, but this wasn't high school and she couldn't skip round between men anymore. She was engaged to Artie and had to stay faithful.

But, what was the harm in seeing an old friend for lunch. She did it all the time with Blaine, of course Blaine was married and gay so Artie never felt threatened by it and he might if he knew she was going to see an old boyfriend for lunch before he left town.

"We should invite him for dinner tomorrow," Artie said.

"I think we're all getting together tomorrow. Puck and Quinn will be in town. Mike is here. Brittany said she hasn't seen Santana in a couple days. I'm starting to worry about them," Tina replied.

"Yeah, from what Kurt and Blaine said they are really having a hard time," Artie responded. "And seeing all of us in these happy relationships can't be easy."

Tina sighed. Why was Mike all she could think about? Everything Artie was saying was going in one ear and out the other. Nothing was sticking and it was driving her crazy. She knew that she needed to see Mike alone to get whatever she was feeling out of her system before it ruined her relationship with Artie. Because she was happy with Artie and wanted to marry him.

Blaine was lying on the living room floor with Hepburn sleeping on his chest.

Kurt heard a knock at the door and quickly opened it so it wouldn't wake up the sleeping baby. Kurt knew that the child was biologically at least one of theirs when he heard her cry. She had a set of lungs on her that didn't stop for anything.

Brittany was standing on the other side of the door again. "I'm sorry I keep dumping my marital problems on you guys. It's just you've always been my relationship role model."

"Gosh, I now I feel the need to step up on cuteness game," Blaine chuckled from the floor.

Brittany tried to laugh along, but she hadn't seen her wife in a few days and was worried. Not that her marriage was over, but it wasn't like Santana to just up and disappear like this.

"I'm sure she's fine," Blaine said quietly knowing he had tiny baby ears close to his mouth and didn't want to wake her up. "Santana's really street smart."

"I know, but sometimes things happen and I've called the police, but they are insisting nothing is wrong," Brittany said trying not to cry in front of her friends.

"We will have Mercedes or Quinn call her so she may answer her phone," Kurt said quickly group texting his friends leaving Santana out of the list to make sure she didn't see it coming.

Tina and Mercedes quickly replied that they would try and contact Santana just to make sure she was okay and not lying in a ditch in New Jersey.

"Before things got really bad Santana and I were talking about having a baby," Brittany said watching Hepburn sleep and grab onto her daddy's shirt with her little hands.

Blaine had to hold in a laugh imagining Santana as a mother. Brittany, of course, she would be an amazing mother, but the thought of Santana was almost comical to Blaine, but maybe she had changed enough to be able to raise a child. Then again with the way she was acting towards Brittany probably not.

"That would have been perfect. Hepburn would have had a little friend to play with all the time," Kurt got very excited about the idea of his friends having children so his daughter had another little one to play with. But then that would have taken time away from Blaine and Kurt didn't know if Blaine would handle not having Hepburn all to himself all day.

"But then suddenly everything just went south and I don't know why," Brittany said as she was trying to make sense of everything that had happened in her marriage and why all of a sudden Santana was acting the way she was.

"Britt, we want to help you, we really do, but without Santana being willing there's not much anyone can do," Kurt explained. "Blaine and I have been together for about nine years on and off…"

"Mostly on," Blaine interjected.

"And we've had our share of fights about everything. There was the Scandals sex fight. The cheating fights, plural, the 'I'm not gonna talk to you' treatments after these fights. We've been through a lot and we don't have every answer," Kurt continued to explain. "Because like we said before our fights aren't gonna be like yours and our solutions won't be either."

Brittany completely understood what Kurt was telling her. She knew that talking to Kurt and Blaine for four years about their relationship might not help hers ever. She needed to find Santana and make up like adults. They needed to be acting more like adults than the stupid teenagers they used to be.

After lunch Brittany left the Hummel-Anderson apartment leaving Blaine feeding Hepburn and Kurt cleaning up.

"The Scandals sex fight," Blaine asked from the living room. "That is the worst name for that."

Kurt walked over to his husband. "How about the Blaine was drunk off his ass and tried to get to me to fuck him for my first time in the back of my car fight?"

"It would have been my first time too," Blaine said giving Kurt a look. "And I think we should just stick with Scandals sex fight."

"I'm glad you see it my way," Kurt said kissing Blaine.

"Like always," Blaine replied grabbing Kurt's wrist not letting him move away. "She's almost asleep and we have nothing to do today."

"I'll grab the baby monitor and you get her to sleep. Meet you in the bedroom," Kurt said quickly leaving the area and Blaine to put Hepburn to sleep so they could have Papa and Daddy time.

Tina had called Mike and asked to meet her downtown so they could have lunch. She figured she'd tell Artie that night instead of beforehand just to make sure she went.

When she finally saw Mike her heart swelled. She needed to figure out what was going on. She had never had two men look at her the way Artie and Mike do.

"Hey," Mike said walking up to her.

Tina couldn't make a sound. All of the memories from high school came flooding her head. She couldn't speak. She couldn't move.

"Tina," Mike said trying to get her attention.

"What," Tina said quickly snapping out of her trance. "Oh, sorry. It's good to see you again," she said giving him a hug.

"Tina," Mike started, "I'm really confused. You said you wanted to talk about you and me, but you're with Artie and there is no you and me."

Tina sighed. He was right there was no her and him. There was her and Artie and there could have easily been a Mike and some other girl in Chicago. She needed to get over this high school era and into her adult like with her current fiancé.

"I'm sorry this was stupid," Tina said turning and walking away before Mike caught her wrist and pulled her back.

"No, you need answers," Mike said holding her in place so she didn't try to run away again. "So do I. When I knocked on your door I thought you'd be there waiting for me. But there I was looking like an idiot because you weren't. Now we're both confused and it's breaking us."

"Mike," Tina started before second thinking what she was planning on saying to him. "When I saw you the other day I didn't know what was going through my mind. I wanted to wrap my arms around and kiss you, but I can't. I can't do that to Artie. I've seen what cheating and disloyalty can do to a relationship first hand," they both chuckled thinking back to high school and how many times all of their friends cheated on each other.

The two of them stood silent for several seconds before Mike decided to say anything. "Tina, I love you. I always will and I'm gonna do what Blaine told me to do and let you live your life. However, you want to."

Tina could see the sincerity in his eyes. Before she could think about it her lips were pressed against his.

She pulled away almost just as quickly. "What did I just do," she asked herself aloud.

Mike stood there waiting for her to process what had just happened.

"What am I gonna do," she asked herself aloud again. "I just kissed my ex. I'm engaged. Artie. What I have I done?"

"You need time," Mike said. "I'm leaving to go back to Chicago tomorrow morning anyways. Call me if you want to. If not I completely understand," Mike told her bringing her in for a hug. Before walking away Mike had to leave her with one more kiss. He didn't know if she was going to call or if she was going to choose him over Artie. He wouldn't blame her for never wanting to see him again. Mike turned and slowly walked away from her.

"I love you too, Mike," Tina barely got out of her mouth. Though he couldn't hear her with the traffic and people talking around them. Tears began streaming down her face. She didn't know what to do. Artie was right there ready to spend the rest of his life with her and then there was Mike who lived hundreds of miles away and still made her feel like she was the only person in the world that mattered to him.

One thing she knew she had to do…tell Artie what happened.

"Baby's first outing," Blaine sang as he grabbed her little pink shoes from the closet in the nursery.

"I'm not so sure about this," Kurt said as he watched Blaine excitedly dress Hepburn for going out with friends. "I don't want to be those annoying people in the restaurant with a screaming child," he finished.

"Okay, she doesn't cry that much," Blaine told his husband. "You know this. And we have to take her out for her first time eating out at some point. I'd prefer that be before she's in high school."

"You're right," Kurt conceited. "And we're gonna with all of our friends.

"Alright, diaper bag?"

"Check."

"Stroller?"

"Check."

"Car seat because we're those city parents?"

"Check.

"Kurt, you need shoes," Blaine said as he started opening the door.

"So focused on a child and forget yourself," Kurt laughed and quickly threw on a pair of shoes.

Kurt and Blaine left their apartment and headed downtown to meet their friends for the night. Apparently Quinn and Puck had some huge announcement. Kurt figured Quinn was pregnant again, but so did everyone else.

The men took a cab because Blaine had a constant fear of some creepy person trying to touch his baby on the subway.

They met up with all of their friends at the restaurant and quickly got seated. Blaine requested they be put near a corner so they could shove all of Hepburn's stuff in the corner out of the way of other patrons.

Puck and Quinn were the last to arrive. "So before we order we have some huge news," Quinn said as they were sitting down at the table.

"Pregnant," Kurt whispered to Blaine.

"I'm thinking engaged," Blaine replied.

"Five bucks," Kurt asked.

"Deal."

"We're moving into Brooklyn," Quinn said excitedly. "We got this cute little apartment and can't wait until we can see you guys all the time."

"And no more taking a train into the city just to spend three hours with friends. We'll always be right here ready to go," Puck added on.

"No deal," Blaine laughed looking at Kurt.

"Tina, you look really off," Rachel noticed.

"It's nothing. I'm okay," she replied knowing that if her friends were suspicious everything would be discovered and she hadn't told Artie what happened between her and Mike yet. She needed everything to stay quiet until she figured out what she truly wanted.

"Britt and San still having problems," Puck asked taking a sip of his beer.

"Yeah, Brittany hasn't seen Santana in days," Mercedes told them. "She's okay though. Tina and I talked to her yesterday."

"Well, cheers to lifelong friends," Kurt said raising his glass.

The group touched their glasses together and smiled. Nothing would ever tear this group of people apart.
