Sam's POV
The ND family is over they are demanding answers of all days my last day home before I head back and they just shared with us that Puck beat up Tank.
"Puck beat up Tank?" I turned to face Mercedes she glanced up at me with eyes tight. "Here?"
"Yeah outside, Santana, Blaine, and I stopped by as we were pulling up we saw the ambulance leave. We get up here and it's Puck and he got stabbed in the arm. They told me not to drop by but I had to make sure everything was okay."
"Where is Puck?" Every looked around. "He should be here." Artie said.
"I know his car wasn't outside when we pulled up."
"Okay um…Mercedes and I would like thank you for dropping by and checking on us but today is my last day home until Friday I would like to spend that time with my family so we apologize for being tight lipped about some things but 'Cedes and I will talk over all of this and let you guys know."
"Are you just saying that to get rid of us or you mean it?" Kurt folded his arms asking in a bitter tone.
"I mean it I really mean it. Y'all need to know too and it's going to start like this, TJ got accepted into Rosemont Christian Academy and all of you will be down as his contacts. There is something else we got to share with y'all as well but we have to run it by each other first."
"Okay." I took Mercedes hand. "We have to go up to our room to discuss this." I unlocked the game room door Cedes and I went upstairs the bedroom. I locked the door behind us. "What in the hell was that?" I pointed at the door.
"I don't know and Shane was just standing there. How could he just let scrawny Kurt push him and JJ hired them to protect your children and me!" 'Cedes sighed in frustration plopping down on the couch I plopped beside her. "This was supposed to be our alone time to spend with each other before you head back to San Diego and now we have to talk to Puck, JJ, and Stevie about what happened yesterday." She laid her head on my shoulder I put my arm around her.
"Yeah you think that week 2 would start off without drama I haven't even left yet now this. I was just sitting down to watch the video when I heard Kurt yell for you and me."
"Should we be mad at them or should we blame ourselves."
"I don't want to blame ourselves we're a semi-open book, we started dating in secret, we married in secret, and we're pregnant in secret." I kissed her on the forehead. "We're just secretive people."
"Yeah, but I think we should tell our parents about the baby my mother has been having dream about fish we did say after our first visit and that was a couple of days ago I wanted to wait for everything to calm down with Tank and all this other stuff but yeah lets FaceTime both of our parents so they'll find out together." I called my parents and 'Cedes called hers.
"Sam, Mercedes." My mother said.
"Sam Mercedes. What's going on is everything alright. You said that you would call us in a couple of days.?"
"Yeah um…everything is fine it's just that we both have something to tell you."
"What is it Sam? I've been dreaming about fish." My mother said.
"You too Mary?! I've been having that dream since I got back to Ohio!" 'Cedes and I made eyes at each other.
"I had my first dream when I was out there for Stevie."
"Mercedes is you pregnant?!" Mary and Bernice asked her.
"Simple answer…Yes!" We both lowered the volumes on our phones because both of our moms were screaming both of our dads had their hands over their ears.
"I knew it! I knew it! Dwight Mercedes is pregnant!" My mother was hitting my dad his shoulder.
"I know. I know baby. Congratulations Sam and Mercedes!"
"Thanks Dad."
"Congratulations Sam and Mercedes!"
"Mercedes Renee Jones! How could you? My fish dreams are always accurate!"
"I thought it was Stacey but then it dawned on me that she doesn't have a guy. Oh wow. When are you guys due?"
"We're due in May."
"Awww… a spring baby!"
"Sam is you excited?!"
I thought back to the ultrasound I smiled. "Yes, mom I'm so excited."
"Does TJ know?"
"No, we haven't told him yet every time he sees us kiss he says that's how his baby brother is going to get started."
"What?! At least he knows how it starts. Awww…this baby will be so spoiled! Another grandchild Joshua! Mary you and I got to connect so we can plan the baby shower."
"Yes, I agree."
"Mom, how about we give y'all each other numbers so y'all can plan our arms is getting tired."
"Okay. Mary my number is." She gave her the number. "I'm going to call you right now. Bye 'Cedes and Sam! Congratulations on the newest bundle."
"Bye Sam and 'Cedes! I can't wait to spoil her!"
My mother said ending the FaceTime I put down my phone. "Her? They already know it's going to be a girl. We don't even know and you're only like few weeks."
"I think so. What you think about having a little girl?"
"I love the idea. I always wanted a son first and I got TJ so when some guy makes my little girl cry he can handle it for me." 'Cedes gave me the shocking look. "What? What did I say?"
"My dad said that you would say that he was right."
"Right about what, the baby being a girl?" She nodded her head. "Well, I wouldn't mind it being a boy but imagine a little girl with your looks that has me wrapped around her little fingers. I can't wait until that day but we have to change the topic and mood we have to talk to Puck, JJ, and Stevie about yesterday. Let's go." I helped 'Cedes off the couch we checked on TJ and Logan they were knocked out sleep after church nap, I heard Puck, Stevie, and JJ talking.
"Kurt and them gone?"
"Yeah, they all left like 5 minutes ago."
"Kurt and them were here?" Puck questioned with a concerned look shifting in his seat.
"Yes, Noah. They barged up in here pushed Shane to the side and welcomed themselves to my game room, then Kurt yelled for Mercedes then me, imagine when we were ushered into the game room and Blaine, Santana, Brittany, Artie, and Rachel were waiting for us all we said was "hi guys", and each one of them started throwing question after question at us but that wasn't all. We find out from Kurt that you beat up Tank. When were you going to tell us?!"
"I was going to tell you guys today, seriously I was! Damn Kurt! Messing up my moment, the reason why I didn't tell you guys last night was it was family night one day when he wasn't mentioned or on your minds."
"JJ told us about my restraining order."
"Yeah, that's different that's news you needed to hear and was important. We also told Kurt and Blaine not to come by here yet he did anyway y'all were gone to get 'Cedes a phone. Right?" He pointed between Stevie and JJ.
"He's right. We told them not to drop by."
"What about Santana?"
"While I was cutting my step I heard her scream, "WON'T HE DO IT", then she said something in Spanish pulling out a matchbook, lit one and was going to light his ass up on fire."
"Huh?" Mercedes said mouth agape. "Matches?"
"Yes, I pulled them away from her then the cops and paramedics came he was still mouthing off at the mouth and he as saying he wasn't Tank his name was Oscar Jones or Benjamin Harrison or something but I said, "your name is Reginald Mason", and one of the cops was like where is he I pointed him in the direction and right there on the gurney he got served. Story don't sound that good no more to tell since Kurt told y'all but I got pictures."
He pulled out his phone and handed it to 'Cedes she scrolled through them she forced a smile. "This is nice Puck. Are you gonna get pictures made?" She handed his phone back.
"Pictures, t-shirts, phone-covers, mugs, you want one?"
"Yeah, that's nice. Sam, I'm going to go check on the boys see if they are up because we still haven't eaten yet and I want us to eat as a family before it's time for you leave."
"Okay baby." Mercedes went upstairs I sat on the arm of the couch. "Benjamin Harrison, Puck?"
"Yeah, weird. What you think about the bodyguards?"
"2 of the 3 are good."
"Shane." They all said.
"Yeah, how you guys know this?"
JJ shook his head. "Sam, he took it somewhat hard hearing that 'Cedes was married he wanted to woo her and make cocoa babies with her."
"Cocoa babies?! That's never going to happen, it's occupied anyway. He was ogling her right in front of me and when she went to go try to prepare lunch he followed her ass I had to set him straight he better not try anything while I'm away."
"Week 2 of training camp, you ready for this to be over?"
I flipped my phone in my hand. "I'm ready for the season to be over 'Cedes and I wanted this week to start off on the good foot yet we're starting it off on the semi-good foot."
"We starvin' like Marvin." I heard their voices say. "Uncle Stevie! Uncle Puck!" TJ and Logan ran over to them.
"Hey guys how as y'all nap?"
"It was good. Uncle Puck, what happened to your arm?"
I sat up taking notice of his wrapped arm. "Oh, it's nothing had a little scuffle that's all. Well, we're going out to the guest house to check on the guys get to know them more personally. Y'all can have lunch and do whatever. Let's go guys. I'll talk to Shane."
"No, I'll talk to Shane."
"No, I got Shane."
That was the last thing I heard said as the door closed behind them. "Let's eat!"
Tank's POV
"Damn you got fucked up!" I opened my eyes turning my head to the door it was Sarah.
"No shit Sherlock."
"By who?" She came to my bedside kissing me on the lips.
"Now you want to act concern." I rolled my eyes. "Some crazy guy I remember him from when I ran into TJ some weeks back."
"Where did you run into him at?"
"Sam's house I called 'Cedes phone earlier in the morning and TJ picked up, when he saw me that little motherfucker ended the FaceTime so I kept calling and calling finally when I call I see 'Cedes on the other end and her ass is getting buck saying shit that she didn't say to me while we were in the mall so I told her that I was going to take TJ and the baby."
"How can you take the baby and she's still pregnant?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "I know I was just in the moment I said both but TJ will do just enough to get her ass back with me."
"What's up with that knot on your forehead?"
"Oh." She rubbed the knot on her head. "I was in the grocery store I ran up on Sam asking him why was I served a restraining order and he talking about his wife and bullshit and out of nowhere fruit starting flying then two apples hit me in the head I fall down on the ground and his two sons stuck out their tongues saying, "Bye Ashy Felicia", them some bad ass kids. How long are you in here?"
"You were served too?! Why are you just now telling me this?"
"Slipped my mind. I've been meaning to tell you but yeah I have to be 200 yards away from Sam and his "wife" and son. Have you been to see your mother?"
"Wife? 'Cedes ain't married to his ass! That's a bluff!"
"So, you say but he did have a wedding band on his finger."
"Look, that's a bluff. They not married I got served too." I held up my papers. "Mercedes Evans and Thaddeus Joshua Evans."
"See, I told you they're married!"
"They not married she could of just changed last names besides they're playing house. She belongs with me! Anyway this fool is on the phone and he says to me. "YOU AIN'T TAKING NO ONE I DARE YOUR ASS TO SHOW YOUR FACE AROUND THESE PARTS I DARE YOU TO LAY A FINGER ON TJ OR MERCEDES I WILL FUCK YOU UP AND I'LL MAKE YOU SUFFER I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND SLOWLY TORTURE THE LIFE OUT OF YOU BUT I'LL LET YOU LIVE BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO BE BUBBA'S BITCH CALL THIS NUMBER AGAIN AND I WILL YOU KILL YOU!" So, I took my ass over there. I'm not one to back down from a threat or fight no one was there so I waited in the bushes and lo and behold not to long after his ass shows up. He packs a bag then it was on. He dared me to stab him I did and he shot me and messing up this pretty face." I checked out my features in the spoon. "To answer your question about my mother nah I've been laying low ever since I had to off Ant and Raymond I sent them two out there to his house to kill her brother they didn't get it right. He's still alive. So I found them and told this guy what I needed done and he did it my hands are clean of this."
"Why do you want her back? I'm just wondering."
I let out an annoying sigh. "Well, when I first laid my eyes on Mercedes I wanted her I approached her and she brushed me off I said a few things to her and she gave me a chance I swooned the hell out of her, she goes on tour and she invited a friend to see her open, dude comes by her dressing room, instantly I don't like him, I have some words with him and Mercedes come back from her sound check I'm all hands on with her making dude know she's mine, she don't want you, I said I was leaving to get me something to eat and I left but I stood outside her room dude spit mad game to her saying whoever he's with if she returns, he'll drop whoever to get with her they kissed. That did it for me, they were suppose to meet up that night I put a stop to it."
"How?"
"I hit her in the face. She got a black eye and she definitely didn't want to go out then. Fast forward to the Grammy's by that time she was 3 or 4 months pregnant with TJ and well, let's just say the night didn't go as I would have liked it. I don't know if I told you this but she was going to leave me I didn't want her to go she fucked my ego once, I wasn't going to let her do it again so I fucked her raw I never used a condom I just told her that to ease her mind, a few days later she got sick I knew she was pregnant but I played it off, I put her ass on mute for I don't know how long and, she goes to the doctor it's confirmed, she was around 5 or 6 weeks. I had her…trapped her."
"Your mother?" She questioned.
"It was her idea. She wanted a grandbaby but 'Cedes was waiting for marriage and all that shit but I held on for as long as I could we did it and we only did it twice well, 5 times. Four times that night and the last time I asked her again after our first time she said don't touch me or ask for sex. I was cool with it because I planted my seed I did my part, she did hers and there you have it."
"Was you there when TJ was born?"
"Fuck no! We had it out that week and I put her on mute, she went into labor on the 19th I believe or 20th she went through the whole thing alone. I didn't drive her to any visits; I didn't do Lamaze with her. I didn't do shit. I told her you not having a baby shower, you know them photos where pregnant woman be caressing their bellies she wanted that I told her no, waste of film, she bought everything I set it up."
"So, why you get her pregnant again?"
"What's up with these 21 questions? Shit." She gave me the what the fuck face. "She told my mother that if I hit her again, she would take TJ and leave me so I made the decision to fuck her again so she wouldn't leave but it backfired. She left, took TJ and here I am…"
Mercedes POV
"TJ is time for daddy to go!" I yelled upstairs Sam and I were standing in our usual spot hugging forehead to forehead. "Week 2." He leaned down for a kiss.
"Week 2, we're almost there baby this is the halfway mark."
TJ patted me Sam and I backed up so he can join in on the hugging. "Bye daddy. Daddy?"
"Yes, TJ." Sam picked him up.
"I don't like saying goodbye to you. It takes so long for you to come back." He wrapped his arms around Sam laying his head on his shoulder.
"I don't like this either but I'll be back soon and this week you have Logan here so you'll have a buddy to play with."
He pulled back looking at me. "I know but mommy won't have you."
"Awww….TJ daddy is not far away from us."
"Mommy's right. Maybe this weekend instead of me coming home y'all can come up there to visit me I'll drive down here and get you and mommy you can see where I work and meet some of the players. How about that?"
"Cool! Can Logan come?"
"I don't know munch." Sam set TJ down. "Aunt Rachel probably wants to spend time with him too." We kissed again. "You should be get going baby."
"Yeah I'll call you when I get to my apartment. I love you Mercedes, I love you TJ, and I love you too AJE." He kissed us all again I watched him go to his car. I leaned against the door frame waving. TJ had ran off to meet up with Logan. I closed the door and jumped when I saw Shane chilling on the step.
"Sorry I scared you. Do y'all always stand there and say goodbye to him?" He walked over to me leaning against the door I looked up at him. He's so tall.
"Yes, my son and I always do."
"That's cute. I wouldn't be able to leave you alone." I walked into the kitchen with Shane on my ass I opened the refrigerator grabbed me a bottled water and I poured the boys something to drink in their cups. I put the apple juice back Shane was behind the door. "So are you going to be okay sleeping in your bed alone tonight?"
"Yes, Shane. I'm married and I'm pregnant."
"You're pregnant?!"
"Yes, Sam's baby he put this up in me now I like you as my bodyguard but that's where you're going to stay don't mention my husband's bedroom or nothing sexual to me or I'm telling all of my brothers and don't let me tell it to my husband he doesn't like no other man fantasizing about his goods but him."
"Okay. I'm sorry."
"Auntie." Logan ran over to me holding a sword.
"Yes, baby."
"Can TJ and I go outside we want to play with these glow in the dark swords?"
"Yes, lets' go."
I picked up their cups as I was closing the door I heard. "Damn she shot you down!" I heard Ray say to Shane. Then he started singing. "You have nothing! Nothing! Nothiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing 'cause she shot you down!" He bust out laughing so did I.
Sam's POV
FaceTime with the Wifey.
"What a sendoff? I can't believe that they all came to our house demanding to know why?"
"I know baby. I know. Is there a problem with being so secretive?"
"I don't see an issue with it. We're a family and I guarantee you that they have personal information about themselves that they don't share. So, why should we? How is TJ? How are you with the bodyguards around?"
"TJ is fine he has Logan so he didn't take you leaving too hard he was back to himself outside playing with those glow in the dark swords, myself I'm good I missed you when you pulled away. The bodyguards are good. Nice having them around although that Shane he's a little fan boy I had to get him in check."
"What he say?"
"It was nothing I handled it but if you must know he said was I sleeping alone in our bed tonight."
"He better not be fantasizing about him in our bed doing what I did to you last night also I would like to thank you for you putting your panties in my luggage it was a surprise that morning waking up to see that."
"I knew you would like it only reason I did it was because of you, you asked. Changing topics from our freakiness to the baby. Since we told our parents do you think we should tell the ND family?"
"No, let's wait a little while longer I don't want them stressing you out with the baby and then happenings going on with TJ. Look, I'm going to take a shower right quick and I'll call you back."
"Okay. See you in a little while."
Mercedes POV
A tiny knock came at the door in walked Logan. "Aunt Mercedes."
"Yes, Logan is everything okay."
He shook his head. "No."
"What's wrong munch? Get up here and tell Auntie about it."
He climbed on the bed sitting Indian style propping up his head with both arms. "It's about TJ."
"What's wrong with TJ?" I asked he sat their silent. "Tell auntie good or bad I need to know."
He played with his hands. "He's having dreams again. He told me not tell you because you're something going on 50 because you have the nerves of an old lady but his brother I got tell his mommy."
"What are the dreams about?"
"Tank and a gun. He said he's been having the dream since Uncle JJ got shot but he doesn't want to tell you. He only told me because I'm his brother and the bishop said today in church about being your brother's keeper. I was paying attention auntie since I'm the oldest I'm his keeper. Mommy you gotta talk to him and I know you're not my mommy. I just like calling you that while I'm here makes me really feel like I'm his brother."
Bernice's POV
