Sam's POV

Friday….

I was watching ESPN when the show I was watching finally went to commercial break this was the perfect time for TJ and me to talk over the plans for Mother's Day this coming Sunday.

"TJ, come over here right quick you and I need to talk."

"About what?" He asked me sitting on the ottoman where I had my legs propped up.

"A very special day for mommy, it is going to be her first Mother's Day that she's going to celebrate and enjoy so I want you, me and Alex to go all out. So, what do you think mommy would want?"

"A new baby that one cries too much." I looked down at sleeping Alex that was a perfect mixture of 'Cedes and me I'm so thankful that this child has 'Cedes mouth.

"Now TJ mommy and I love this baby and you besides it's going to be awhile until daddy gets to play again but it was so worth it." I kissed Alex on the forehead. "So, I was thinking we take pictures, breakfast in bed for mommy, and you make a card, and daddy can give mommy something special. What you think about that?"

"I like that daddy. Don't forget flowers."

"Right I can't forget the flowers." I heard the bedroom door opened I knew she was going to be coming downstairs. "TJ." I whispered. "Come here, when mommy comes downstairs she's going to asks us what are we doing, I want you to say nothing. Can you do that?"

"Yeah I can." He whispered back.

"Good 'cause here she comes." I started playing with Alex hands and making faces.

"What were y'all two talking about?"

"Nothing mommy I was just asking daddy that when I get to blow out my candles could I use my wish for a little brother." He answered looking up from his drawing of McConaughey or as he calls him Conniehey.

"Sam, what were y'all talking about?"

"Nothing baby just what TJ asked me and I told him he couldn't." I leaned in for a kiss and pulled back. "How was your nap?"

"It was everything thank you for that alone time."

"You're welcome besides I wanted to spend time with our kids." I placed Alex in her arms and she leaned into me and I adjusted the blanket around her.

"You know Mother's Day is coming up."

"It is?! What day?"

"Sunday! You got anything planned for me? She smiled.

"No." I quickly answered.

I answered her mouth drop then curling into a smile. "You're joking with me."

"No, I'm not I thought that you could do your usual around here, cook breakfast, lunch, dinner, change some diapers, and tease me while you breast feed our daughter of which might I add turns me on, laundry, a little dusting. It's some trash in the corner." I pointed to where it was. "Oh, McConaughey needs to get a bath I thought you might be able to do that too."

"You're joking with me?" She leaned back and gave me the death stare. "Samuel Thaddeus Evans you better be joking with me!"

"Ooh daddy's in trouble." TJ singsong leaving his drawing going off to the game McConaughey was looking between 'Cedes and I. "Come on Conniehey!" He ran off. I leaned in for another kiss.

""If you think about kissing me I will bit your wax lips off." She smashed her hands in my face. "Samuel Thaddeus Evans, I'm going upstairs to put Alex down for her nap and I pray you better have something for me planned on this Sunday because if not you're going to be sorry so I suggest you start planning." She got off the couch and I followed with my eyes until she was out of sight.

"I have something planned baby but I can't tell you." I pulled out my phone and called Artie heading outside. "Artie…"

That evening…

"Our princess is sleep again. What are you doing?" My duffel bag was on the couch and she came out of the bathroom putting inside my washrag and toothbrush. "Baby what are you doing?"

"I'm packing you a bag to stay in the guest room, that's where you're going to sleep at until you tell me you have something planned for me on Mother's Day now if there are plans you can tell me and I can put your clothes back."

She had her hand on her hip waiting for my response. "Well looks like I'm going to be sleeping in the guest room." I zipped up my bag and left the bedroom. I know she's upset with me but I think she's gone drastic. I don't want to tell her I just know when Sunday arrives she's going to very much surprised and forgiving. I picked one of our many guest rooms and tossed my duffel bag on the chair, got in bed and flipped to ESPN. A few minutes later TJ came knocking on the door.

"Come in, TJ."

"Daddy, is mommy mad at you? I was going to my room and she was on the phone with Aunt Santana."

"No, she's not mad at me. How you know it was Aunt Tana?" I asked as he climbed onto the bed copying my posture laid flat out with my hands behind my head.

"I heard her praying in Spanish and that was a few minutes ago the clock in my room read 5:30 and it's now 5:45 and I just came back upstairs and she still going."

"Wow, that's some prayer she's going in."

"Why are you in here daddy? This is the guest room. You not a guest."

"Mommy and I are playing a little game see if I tell her what I know then I can return to our bedroom if I don't I have to stay in here."

He sat up and looked at me confusingly. "That's a crazy game. So, can we go over our plans for mommy again?"

Saturday…

Last night was the most awkward sleep I ever had I slept without my wife before but that was on business trips this was the first time that I was in our house and was banned from being in our bedroom because I didn't tell her my surprise for Mother's Day. Tomorrow is almost here but first I have to make it through today and get my plans rolling. I did my morning routine and made my way to the kitchen, her back was to me as she was preparing breakfast.

"TJ didn't I tell not to feed McConaughey table food."

"But your back is turned, how did you know?"

"I'm mommy; mommy sees all and knows all even when her back is turned." She turned around and sat the frying pan down on the counter and looked at me. TJ looked back to see what she was looking at.

"Morning Daddy!"

"Morning." I walked over to him gave him a kiss and said good morning to our little princess who was asleep in her bouncer. "Morning princess." I turned to head to the dining room table.

"Aren't you going to kiss mommy good morning, daddy?"

"Er…yeah." I went over to her and did a quick peck on the lips.

"No, daddy you kissed mommy wrong. Kiss her kiss her!" He yelled and propped his head up waiting for the show to start. "I'm waiting." I pulled Mercedes into a kiss mesmerized lips press together, dancing tongues and fiery heat as the surroundings around us disappeared our kiss was interrupted by TJ standing up on the stool giving us a standing ovation.

"Yeah! Woooo! Yeah! That's a kiss!"

"TJ get down from there." Mercedes went over to him and sat him on his own two feet. "Was that what you were looking for TJ?"

"Yup! Now we can eat breakfast!"

We put on a nice little show for TJ but I know in the back of my mind 'Cedes was still upset with me knowing that I didn't have something planned for her but I did have something planned. I offer to wash the dishes and she went about to do her own thing. I called back to confirm with Artie the plans and went out to purchase the t-shirts for the kids and myself returning home Mama called me.

"Hello Mama." She didn't even address me back she just went right in.

"Sam, what is this I hear that you don't have anything planned for Mother's Day! You know Mercedes has been looking forward to this day since y'all got married and had Alex! This is her special day where you and the kids show her how much she means to you."

"I do have something planned." I answered pulling up to the house. "I'm just messing with her, everything is set and done. TJ, Alex, and I will be heading to Uncle Artie studios to take pictures of the kids in these cute little shirts, and I have one too a shirt as well and we're going to make her breakfast in bed and I got her a little something that I can't wait to see her in but it's going to be a few more weeks for that but everything is covered."

"Better be or I'll jump right back on a plane and return out there to beat you with PawPaw's stick."

"Not PawPaw's stick Mama also your gift is in the mail and the second half will be sent once I get the pictures back. Okay. Happy early Mother's Day."

"Thanks son." I went inside the house and saw TJ was in the game room with McConaughey playing fetch with one of Mercedes heels that was broken in the heat of the moment between us it soon became a chew toy for him.

"Good boy!" I smiled went upstairs to check on Mercedes and she was asleep I tip-toed in and turned off the monitor that was in her hand and proceeded to Alex's room packed her a bag and placed her in her the car seat and went and got TJ.

"TJ let's go do our thing. Mommy is asleep so all plans are in motion."

"Daddy is Conniehey coming with us too?"

"Yeah, he's going to get in on this picture moment too."

"Yes!" He ran off to get his leash and sat at the table writing 'Cedes a note. "What are you doing daddy?"

"I'm writing mommy a note so when she wakes up she won't be in a panic not knowing where we are at. Baby I checked in on you and you were sleep so, I took the kids to the new park we decided was a good place for them to play. We'll be back later love Sam, TJ, Alexandra, and McConaughey." I slipped the baby bag on my arm, picked the car-seat, TJ had McConaughey out the door we were.

Mercedes POV

I've been knocked out for the last 2 hours and I haven't been interrupted by TJ, Alexandra, or McConaughey.

"Sam!" I yelled out. "Sam! TJ!" I checked Alexandra room her bag was gone, TJ was gone. I checked the guest room where Sam was sleeping ESPN was playing. "Sam where are my kids?" I opened the door hoping to see him and he wasn't there. "McCounaughey! Where is that possessed little dog?" I'm waiting to hear his little paws or him barking nothing I went back to the room, ran downstairs looked outside the truck was gone. "I know this man didn't run off with the kids and the dog and didn't leave me a note!" Back upstairs I was I checked the guest room, TJ's room, our room, even Alexandra room. Back downstairs I checked McConaughey's hiding spot nothing. "I can't the call the cops. They're with their father." I was in panic mode and on the verge of leaving the house to go in search of them I grabbed my keys and was out the door when out the corner of my eye I saw a note I picked up the note off the table. "Baby I checked in on you and you were sleep so, I took the kids to the new park we decided was a good place for them to play. We'll be back later love Sam, TJ, Alexandra, and McConaughey." WHEW! "The park."

Sam's POV

I made a quick stop by the park took some pictures so that I can send them to her phone when we got to Uncle Artie Studio.

"Uncle Artie!" TJ ran over to Artie just as I sat him down.

"TJ!"

"Sam, how is the little princess?" Artie rolled over as I was taking out Alexandra I lifted the blanket a little and we went inside so Artie could get a better look at his niece.

"She's good" I sat down placing the bag on the chair and took Alex out of the car seat. "Isn't she cute?"

"Adorable! She's going to be a stunner you're going to have a lot on your hands in a few years."

"I know but these pictures we're taking today I'm going to have them scanned and updated every year as in TJ, myself, and her along with the dog will be back here in a year until I approve of the guy for her when that day comes." I made kissy faces with her.

"So, does Mercedes know that you're doing this?"

"No, she kicked me out the bedroom last night well that evening she packed a bag my toothbrush wash rag even a few pair of shoes."

"WOW! Why don't you just tell her what you're doing? So you can return back to the bedroom."

"No, this is a surprise for her look at what she gave me." I pointed to TJ who was looking through one of the camcorders with the help from Artie's assistant Tina and then down to a wide awake Alex and McConaughey was just running around. "How can I thank her for this? By keeping her in the dark and surprising her Sunday morning with breakfast in bed, flowers a bunch of assortments, edible arrangements, gifts from TJ, Alex, and myself and then we're going to sit back in bed and watch our kids play."

"That sounds like a good plan. Okay let's take these pictures. You need to change the kids into their shirts"

"Yeah, I do can you put this on TJ and I'll take care of Alex here."

We changed into our shirts and cheesed it up I don't know how many we took but each picture was beautiful my favorite was the one of TJ and Alex. Our little photo session tired out TJ and Alex.

"Thanks Artie for doing this."

"It was nothing! I enjoyed this besides TJ and Alex are very good in front of cameras."

"Thanks. Well, let me head on home I know mommy is probably worried about her babies and probably me too. TJ." I rubbed his back. "Get up, we're going home now."

"Home."

"Yeah, home. Here is McConaughey. You got him?" He just nodded his head. "Artie. Tina thanks again. How much do I owe you?"

"It's on the house bro."

"Thanks. Y'all have a good one." I unlocked the car and secured my baby girl in and I took McConaughey from TJ and put him in his cage in the back because TJ was sleep walking with was too tired to climb up in the truck so I picked him up secured him in his booster seat, got in adjusted my rear-view mirror and smiled turned and off to home we were.

Mercedes POV

3 hours later and Sam and the kids along with McConaughey are pulling up I waited in the door for them until he waved me over.

"You tired out my babies." I opened the backdoor and unbuckled TJ and helped him out he had Alex and McConaughey.

"Y'all spent three hours at the park?"

"Yeah, it was a nice day." He answered as we slowly made our way in the house. He locked the door behind us and TJ was too pooped out to make it to the couch he slumbered on the floor.

"Sam, get your son." He picked up TJ and laid him on the couch. "What did you do to them? I've never seen TJ that tired before."

"I told you baby. We had fun."

"Did they eat at least?"

"Yeah, we ate. We went to Mickey D's. I got you something but first I'm going to put TJ to bed because it's late and you can handle Alexandra then I'll go outside to get your food." He took TJ upstairs got him changed into his pajamas and he checked in on Alex I was singing her to sleep and he went outside got my food he told me he put it in the refrigerator and that was the last I saw of Sam Saturday night.

Sunday…Mother's Day

Sam's POV

My visitation to this guest room will come to an end in a few hours. Actually shortly I didn't sleep much I spent the majority of the night and morning wrapping the gifts for Mercedes from the kids and me. I gave TJ the tasks of turning off the baby monitor in Alex's room he stopped by my room and gave me the signal that all things were a go.

"Ready to start breakfast daddy?"

"Yeah, mommy still sleep?"

"Yeah, she's snoring up a storm. Good. Good. Let's go."

TJ and I whipped up for mommy Mother's Day breakfast, eggs, bacon, French toast, fruit, orange juice, tea and water we arranged it on the table along with the card that TJ made in school. I made sure to hide that from her when I picked him up Friday afternoon. "Let's take the elevator on up. This time you can barge into the room and I want you to yell HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY got that.

"Yup."

"Good." Exited the elevator and TJ made a mad dash to the door. "Go." He busted open the door and yelled to the top of his lungs.

"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOMMY!" Cedes sat right up and her jaw dropped it stayed like that for a couple of minutes. "Happy Mother's Day, baby."

"S-Sam..I thought..you."

"I lied." I flashed her a smile I sat the table down. "Are you surprised?" She slowly nodded her head and the waterworks began.

"Daddy mommy is crying. I thought she was supposed to be happy?"

"TJ these are happy tears. Very much so happy tears."

"That's good well we can't start Mother's Day without the whole family here so, let me go get Alex and TJ round up McConaughey so we can start this off right." I stopped by Alex room and got her then back to my room where I was sent to dwell for a couple of nights and picked up the gifts and headed back to our room, TJ and Conniehey were already there. "Alright we're all here mommy's day can begin. Baby you have two options start off with breakfast or presents."

"Presents. Presents mommy start off with presents."

"Okay, TJ wants me to start with presents so presents it is."

"Okay, TJ give mommy your present." I sat on the bed and he jumped off going into the bag pulling out his gift along with the card he made in school.

"Here mommy."

"TJ this is so beautiful the card and the picture and who is this third person in our picture because it's only 4 of us 5 included McConaughey."

"My baby brother which daddy still has to put in you but he said he can't right now." Mercedes looked over at me and she shook her head.

"Knowing that he might not play for a while. What is the other thing you got me?" She asked opening up pulling out a necklace that read mommy. "TJ this amazing so beautiful total total sweetness. Thank you baby."

"You welcome mommy." He leaned in for a kiss. "Daddy it's your turn."

"Yup it is my turn. Baby you were pretty upset with me when you asked me if I had plans for you on today and I lied saying I didn't that ticked you off and you sent me somewhat packing down the hall. I too would have done the same if I were you but I wanted today to be special all about you, look at what you gave me baby I can't thank you enough for this no amount of me saying thank you can compare to you. Well maybe the flowers that will be delivered later on with your other thing but…you are the best thing to happen to me, you are the most amazing mother, wife, friend, singer, daughter you're our MVP. Mother's go through so much with having a child and carrying them for 9 months and labor and getting back to themselves and then they worry about them make sure they're safe, stealing kisses when they're asleep, or just standing in the door watching their little chest rise and fall with every breath, mommy you have one hell of a job and I'm so happy that I can join you on this journey of motherhood. I did take the kids to the park yesterday but I made a stop over to Artie's Studio and had the kids and I along with the dog do this for you." I handed her a few wrapped presents she opened the first one and it was a picture of TJ and Alex in their shirts, TJ's read, "Princess Protection Agency" and Alex read, "This Princess is Guarded By a Big Brother".

"Aww Sam.." The waters works started with TJ and they never stopped. "This is so adorable." She flipped the page and there was TJ and McConaughey, TJ looking laying side by side with Alex smiling. "Baby I can't…this is so. Oh wow." She turned the page and it was me and my shirt read, This Daddy belongs to TJ and Alexandra. "You do belong to them this so beautiful." Each picture was adorable but the last one I liked best it was a photo of me and written on a chalk board were these words "When I grow up, I want a son first, then a daughter;" and standing in front of me was TJ with the remainder of the message. "So my son would beat up any boy that makes my little girl cry." She read. "Sam!"

"What? It's true and it's started."

"Stop it Conniehey leave my sister alone!"

"Happy Mother's Day." I kissed her and we watched our kids and dog play on our bed.

A/N: Don't wish me a Happy Mother's Day, I don't have any kids unless you want to count my rabbit, Hop. Until tomorrow guys! (:
