TJ's POV

Daddy just surprised me! With mommy being out with granny probably holding her purse this gives us some time to talk over my role for the proposal.

"You know I'm proposing to mommy tomorrow and you have a big role in this. You are going to bring me the ring and you have words to say."

"What I have to say?"

"You're going to say, daddy asked for my blessing and I said yes, now it's your turn to return the favor by saying yes because daddy would love to make you his wife. Daddy here's the ring. Can you repeat that?"

I stood up walking over to the couch pretending it was mommy. "Daddy asked for my blessing and I said yes, now it's your turn to return the favor by saying yes because daddy would love to make you his wife forever and ever you are the only girl of his dreams mommy and the apple of his eye. Daddy here's the ring. How is that?"

"Perfect you added on your own ad-libs. I like the addition."

"Thanks. So, when are we going to pick the ring? How many carats are we talking daddy because I'm thinking anything from 4 to 5 and, what is our price range?"

"I'm…" Daddy was about to answer when he was interrupted by the front door opening. "We'll discuss this later mommy's home." He whispered. "I'm going to hide behind the curtain act normal. You got it?"

"Okay daddy. I got it." I turned on the DVD player. "Oh man this is disc-two this not Aladdin the full movie but it's okay though I'll just sing my song."

"I know because if we're going to the beach TJ is going to build a sand castle and I didn't get him any buckets and pail." No buckets and a pail. How could she? I looked over to the curtain daddy peeked from behind index finger to his mouth. "TJ! TJ! I know he's in the game room. TJ! He usually flies out of the game room when he hears the door if he's down here. TJ!" She yelled.

"He maybe upstairs in his room or outside playing I'm going to go pack these things."

"Thank you mom."

I heard mommy come into the game room and I was singing Proud of Your Boy,with remixed lyrics. "Water flows under the bridge let it pass let it go there's no good reason that you should believe me not yet I know but Tank someday and soon daddy will make you proud of his son though I will make myself taller, smarter, handsome and wise I have the best daddy what else can I say since I'm not formed in your likeness, Tank I am happy, happy to say I am not your son."

"TJ! Didn't you hear me calling you?" Picking up the remote she turned off the movie.

"No, I was too busy singing my song. How did I sound?"

"You sounded good baby. Are you in the house by yourself? Where are Stacey, J3, and Puck? Where are Stevie and JJ? Azimio and Ray?"

"No, I'm not in here alone. Azimio and Ray just stepped out and Uncle Stevie and JJ are in their rooms."

"Okay…but you should of…" Daddy popped from behind the curtains walking up behind mommy he wrapped his arms around her. "What in the world? My husband wouldn't like. Get off of me." She popped his hands quickly turning around I fell out laughing. "Sam."

I sat up seeing that she and daddy were lipped locked in a heated kiss I ran to my room grabbing my paddles running back the stairs to the game room they were still kissing. I hopped on the couch sitting on the back. "Wooooo! YAY! That's a kiss! Tens across the board! The perfect score!"

"TJ get down from there." I jumped off the couch sitting on the table watching them interact. I like watching them I wonder can mommy get pregnant again 'cause this is how it starts. "Hi baby."

"Hi babe." Uh-oh here comes another kiss daddy leaned in giving mommy a kiss tapping her on the nose. I called it I held up one paddle. "I would have to agree with TJ that was a kiss tens across the board. TJ when and where did you get those signs from?"

"I made them myself with help of course since I can't use scissors I went up to my room and got them while y'all were making out." Daddy hugged mommy from behind smiling.

"Why are there 3 paddles and it's only one of you?"

"One is mine." I handed her the paddle with TJ on the back. "This one is Conniehey's see on the back of it has a paw print." I handed over the third paddle. "This one is for my baby brother no sister and it has dump truck on it and a blue pacifier."

"Who wrote the words on the back?" She asked passing them off to daddy.

"Uncle Stevie. Mommy is you happy to see daddy?"

"I am. Did you know daddy was in here all along?"

"Yup! He told me not to tell you." I said jumping up and down.

"What is going on…Sam!" Granny jumped seeing daddy she pulled him for a hug. "What are you doing here? You're early!"

"Hi Mama Jones I know I sort of lied to Mercedes no practice today I couldn't wait any longer to see her and TJ."

"Awww…that's sweet. Have you heard the good news about Tank's mother getting ran over by a bus? Brrrrrrll boom boom." I covered my mouth laughing. "She had it coming all along."

"Mom, please. Not now."

"Okay. Are you guys leaving now?" Granny asked daddy he was too busy kissing mommy again. "Sam. Sam." She clapped her hands. "Lord this man."

"You said something?"

"Yes, I did. I know you missed Cedes and all but are you guys leaving now?"

Mommy wiped his lips. "Er…Are you guys packed?"

"Yeah they're all packed and ready to go."

"What about you?" He asked granny picking me up. "Are you riding with us?"

"I'm going to have JJ or J3 run bring me down there later tonight. I have something I want to do here before I join up with y'all."

"Good. Are the bags in the room?"

"No, I had Azimio and Ray bring them down they're waiting for you to get your truck." Granny said exiting the game room.

"Where is your truck baby we didn't see it pulling up?"

"That's because I hid it I wanted to surprise you and TJ and I did just that. Y'all missed me?"

"Every single day you aren't home we miss you."

"Same goes for me when I'm not with you two. Let's get this family weekend started. Where are the bags?" He asked as we went outside Uncle Stevie closed the trunk.

"You guys are all set to go. I used the spare to key to move it from your hiding spot. Everything is packed also Mama Jones packed you a travel bed stash. I put it in the back seat."

"Thanks Stevie."

"Is your mother riding down to San Diego with y'all?"

"No, she's going to be driven down later either by JJ or J3. What are you guys going to do this week?" Daddy sat me down and I jumped in the truck buckling myself in.

"I don't know I have a few things planned. Are Ray and Azimio coming with y'all?"

"Yeah, they are they're going to follow us I got them a room at the Hilton Garden Inn."

"That's cool. Bye Mercedes you enjoy yourself. Bye my mini gamer VP did you pack your 3Ds?"

I held up my backpack. "Yeah, it's in my backpack it's the first thing I put in there with all of my games."

"Alright. Well then you are all set." Uncle Stevie ran around to the driver side. "Sam I have some advice for you this weekend, don't do anything I wouldn't do." Daddy pushed him away driving off. "Alright! Alright! I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU AT THREE O'CLOCK!" He yelled daddy laughed he and mommy waved their hands out the window driving off he let up the windows.

"That brother of mine is a fool."

"Daddy can I watch a movie?" I grabbed the headphones.

"Sure what movie you want to watch?"

"Beethoven."

"Beethoven it is!" Mommy flipped down the screen and I put my headphones on my head. I am not going to get a part 2 this weekend. I'm going to be good.

"Keep those on your head TJ."

"Yes mommy."

Mercedes POV

It's been so long since I've seen Sam up close I just want to take a photo of every inch of him and preserve him for the times he won't be home. I reached over running my fingers through his hair.

"I'm so happy to see you baby when you wrapped your arms around me I didn't know it was you but I had a feeling that someone was behind me because TJ wasn't looking directly at me he was looking by me."

"Did you think it was Azimio or Ray?"

I scoffed. "No, I thought it was Stevie he likes to play a lot that's something he would do."

"True. Aren't you glad it was me?"

"I totally am I thought I was going to see you later in the day you are so wrong for that. Was that your plan all along?"

"Just about it."

"I missed you baby."

"I missed you too." He kissed my hand setting in his lap.

"So how was your week with two kids? Is it something that you're looking forward to?"

"It wasn't bad at all. I mean the first night TJ and Logan had a little disagreement but after that it was smooth sailing."

"That's good. How's AJE? What is this bed stash all about?"

"She's good she had me up late the night before last. I had some spicy food. She didn't like it."

"They say spicy foods aren't good for you."

"Look at you being Mr. Know It All about 1st trimesters. Did you read about this and everything about 1st trimesters?"

He nodded his head. "Yeah, I did. I got some printed papers in my glove compartment." I opened the glove compartment and over 100 pieces of paper fell out. "Told you."

"Wow!" I looked through the papers. "You really are. All of these papers and none of them mentioned a bed stash."

"No, it didn't. What's a bed stash?"

"A bed stash is snacks that I can munch on when I wake up in the morning or whenever that will help relieve my morning sickness."

"Has it helped any?"

"It's helped a little but it hit me like of ton of bricks. I forgot how bad it was when I was carrying TJ it hit me on day 4 or 5 and I didn't even know that I was pregnant I just thought I had a virus. 6 weeks later I found out about TJ."

"Our next prenatal visit is the 12th of next month, right?"

"Yes, it is. Why? It's an away game that week or not?"

"No, it's a home game. I'll be able to make that one."

"Really?" We pulled up to the light I showed him the paper. "12 Simple Ways to Show Your Pregnant Wife Love I love how you put your name to all but one you got my mother doing that and it's cleaning."

"I know. I don't mind cleaning but I hate it she doesn't mind she was in the guest house with Ray and Azimio cleaning. She'll enjoy it. So tell me how was it being back in the studio?"

"It felt like home, like riding a bike I never skipped a beat you'd think in these 5 years I'd forget that something. Damion sent over the finished copy of my song. You want to hear it."

"Of course baby! You should know the answer to that. Let me hear Mercedes Jones, the artist bless my ear drums."

I pulled out my phone playing the song. Sam was bobbing his head drumming the steering wheel. "Slay honey. SLAAAAAY MRS. EVANS! Sing that song! YES! You better tell them why you wounded! You tell them about Tank." He let down the window. "MERCEDES JONES IS COMING BACK Y'ALL! Y'ALL NOT READY THIS! VOCAL SLAYAGE! I LOVE THIS WOMAN RIGHT HERE!"

"Sam!" I hit him pulling my blanket over me. "Sam let up that window! Stop bringing attention to us!"

"You deserve all the attention baby! MERCEDES JONES RIGHT HERE Y'ALLL UNDER THIS BLANKET SHE'S COMING BACK Y'ALL BE READY! SHE HIDING NOW WITH AJE ON BOARD! OUR SON IN THE BACK SEAT! GET READY!"

We pulled off from the light I turned back and people on the bus stop were yelling. "She's coming back! Really?! Who was that crazy guy? Was she in the car? I don't know but if she was let me follow her on twitter so I'll know when she drops something she slayed me the first time. I need to be slayed again! She has a kid? Who is AJE?"

I peeked out he was singing his own remix. "Wounded! Not more you are you're beautiful, perfect, you're for the one for me you like that don't you baby."

"I take that as you liked the song."

"Like isn't the word I loved it that song does hit close to home it's like he wrote that song just for you with Tank in mind but you said he only worked on a few songs with you. Crazy like you said Godsend. Since we're on Tank let's talk about this news, or good news." Quotations around good news. "As your mother said. So Artie ran over Ms. None of your Damn Business. What are your thoughts?"

"I think it's sad despite what she did or planned she was a human, she had feelings, she was Tank's mother regardless how messed up she was."

"Well you're not going to like what I have to say because I'm glad. She almost killed my brother and had this plot to kidnap my son one word two syllables karma enough of that talk this weekend is all about us. Are you anxious?"

"I am. You've been pretty tight lipped. Does anyone else know about what you got planned?"

"Yeah, a lot of people do."

"Does TJ?" I turned around his head yelling at the movie.

"Don't shoot him! Come on doggy! Bite him doggy! Bite him! Yes! Bite him in his weewee! Oh! That had to hurt. Conniehey is gonna but just like him!" I turned around laughing.

"He's into the movie but yeah, TJ knows and he's not telling it's a father, son secret no mommy allowed."

Kurt's POV

"Okay! Everyone Sam just sent me a text he's almost there and we should be pulling out now. Where is Mama Jones?"

"The last time I saw her she went to the basement." Quinn said.

"What for we need to leave? Everyone has cameras and camcorders, batteries we don't want to miss capturing this moment. I'll round up Mama Jones everyone go get in your cars. We'll be out."

"I can't believe this."

"Mama Jones come on we're about pull out what are you doing? What are all these boxes?" I opened one looking inside closing it.

"These are boxes that JJ and Puck went and got from Mercedes old house I've been itching to go through them that's why I sent them along I want to know what's inside."

"We have to go everyone is waiting on us." I headed towards the steps.

"Okay. Okay. I'll just grab me this book and I'll read it on the ride down there."

"Good."

"I thought I told y'all to be in y'all cars I have Mama Jones everyone let's go. Scoot, Scoot! Come on!" I ushered them out the house. "Stop playing the dirt Ian you're going to mess up your outfit!"

"What was she doing down there? I hope she wasn't in those boxes!" JJ said locking up the house. Mercedes said she didn't want no one to go in them I told her that. Tell me she wasn't in them."

"She was."

"Damn!" He punched the door. "Leave to her! Was it a purple book?"

"Yeah, it was purple. Is that Mercedes diary?"

He turned around squinting his eyes. "I hate the sun it makes me squint." He groaned. "Yeah, that's her diary from her days with Tank no I didn't read it she told me. Look J3 my mother is riding with you she's not going to be in my car nagging me about what Mercedes wrote in her diary that's personal."

"Okay but what if she wants to tell me something."

"Block it out the best way you can this is a proposal weekend if she nods off to sleep take the diary and hide it under your seat I don't want anything messing up this Evans/Jones proposal weekend. Got it."

"Yeah."

"Good! When Cedes finds this out she's not going to like it."

Sam's POV

We were a few minutes away from the house I pulled up in a McDonald's parking lot. I checked on TJ and Mercedes they're both knocked out sleep. "Hey." I said exiting the truck.

"You were a crazy man back there yelling out the window about Mercedes Jones, vocal slayage."

"I wasn't lying when I said it now was I."

"Nope."

"They need to know she's on her way back with a force! So the reason I pulled over is because the house isn't too far down the road, you are staying at the Hilton Garden Inn I'm about to wake Mercedes up so she can put on this blindfold you are welcome to crash at the house until Kurt and company get here once they arrive you both are out of there. I don't want them here until tomorrow. Also if you hear any noises don't be alarmed we're just getting our organism in." I started dancing. "So here is the key let us get inside first wait about 15 minutes then come in. If anything changes I'll send you a text." I ran back to the truck. "Baby wake up." I gently shook her. "There you go. You were knocked out good I'm sorry I had to wake you, you looked so beautiful over there."

"Are we here?" She yawned stretching. "What are we doing at a McDonalds?"

"No, we're not I just needed to pull over here and check something. Are you hungry? I can run in there and get us something right quick."

She shook her head. " I don't want Mickey D's I want to go out to eat."

"We will just I need you to do me a favor and put this on." I held out the blindfold.

"A blindfold Sam, we're only going to your apartment what's so surprising about that."

"Everything put it on baby."

"You put it on for me."

She turned around lifting up her hair. "Okay there you go." I pulled out notepad writing down a question which was, Mercedes, will you marry me? "Can you see the sign I have held up for you to read? I wrote something on there for you."

"I can't see to tell you what it says."

"Good you'll give me your answer tomorrow. Keep your eyes shut." I pulled out of the parking lot I put my hand over her eyes.

"They are Sam, I have a blindfold on and you got it on here pretty good."

"Still never know you might be sneaky." I pulled up in the driveway rubbing my hands together. "It's show time Mr. Evans."

"Can I take it off now?"

"No, wait, I got to get TJ out then I'm going to help you out. Give me a second. Come on TJ." Removing the headphones off his head I closed the door opening the door for Mercedes. "Okay. You kicked your shoes off again baby."

"Sam you should know this by now yes, long rides I need my shoes off its okay there flip flops I can slide into these."

"Wait right there. Give me your hand. Come on. You'll love it. Alright stop right there." I lifted TJ in my arms. "Take off your blindfold."

She removed the blindfold gasping. "Sam what….where are we? This place is amazing! I thought we were going to stay at your apartment! When did you do this?"

"Early in the week. We have it for 4 days nice view of the ocean, the zoo isn't too far from here and Legoland. I thought why not it's a special weekend."

"Baby you didn't have to go all out for us. We could have had a good time at your apartment this is just too much."

"Yes, I did. I wanted to do this and nothing is never too much for you and TJ. Let me show you the inside." I leaned down to kiss her. "Let's go inside let me show you around." Unlocking the door I let her in first. "The kitchen is over here it's kind of dated but you won't be cooking." I closed the door. "Great view of the ocean, piano, living room, a little breakfast nook. Upstairs is our room right here and down the hall is TJ's room."

"How many rooms is this?"

"Like 7 rooms."

"Seven!" She whispered looking out at ocean. "Why such a big house for only us? Are they coming down here this weekend? Because…"

I put my index to her lips. "No. It's just us. Come on let me show you the patio. Great view we can come out here tonight and look at the stars and make a wish. We can check out the rest of the house after I put TJ down for his nap. You gonna come with?"

"Yes I want to see his room."

"Okay then you and I can relax." I smacked her ass watching it jiggle. "Jiggle baby."

"Freak you play so dirty."

"You know it baby I'm itching for my organism. Here is TJ's room for the next 4 days." I opened the door. "You like?"

"It's nice two beds though. Are you sure that the ND family isn't joining us? This house is huge it sleeps what 14 or 15 people."

"I think it's 14 but no they aren't." I laid him in the bed taking off his shoes and hat. I hugged Mercedes from pressing my hard-on against her ass. "Someone wants to play." I said kissing her on the neck.

"I know you want to play and so do I but show me the house then we can play dirty."

"Okay." Reaching around Mercedes slowly closing TJ's door I take her hand escorting her downstairs I took out my phone sending Azimio a text that read "no entry wait another 25 minutes". I gave her a full tour of our home for the weekend I made sure to walk behind her every room we went to and press my hard-on against her. "That's the house now I have been waiting ever so patiently for the last 20 minutes nursing this not so little something that needs your attention with every movement of your ass it throbs and jumps." I moved her hair nibbling on her soft spot." She tilts her head back softly moaning my hands go up her shirt I lift up her bra brushing softly over her nipples feeling them grow harder under my touch. "Let's take this to the bedroom." We ran up the stairs to the room I closed the door behind me she pushed me against the wall standing on her tiptoes kissing me her hands undoing my jeans and I undo hers moving backwards towards the bed she breaks the kiss hastily removing her shirt and bra and pants climbing onto the bed.

"What are you going to do to me baby?"

"Anything and everything you want just tell me." She tugged at my boxers pulling them down massaging my balls tugging until I groaned. "What are you going to do with this?"

She sticks out her long ass tongue circling the head staring me in the eyes. "Anything and everything you want."

I groaned. "Mercy stop teasing me suck it baby…damn put me in your mouth." She kissed the head seductively, laughing.

"You want this." She wrapped her hand around my dick spitting on it saliva running down to my balls slowly stroking up and down. I didn't even get my answer out when I felt a pair of warm soft wet lips around my dick.

"Fuck." I grabbed her head she smacked my hands away. "Baby….Merc…" Vocally I know she's talented but mouth wise. "Merc…shit. Suck it baby."

"You're gonna cum for me Samuel?" She asked twirling her hand on the head.

"No….no…I want to cum in you."

"Do it to me."

"Oh…I will." I removed my shirt stepping out of my boxers. "You want me to do it to you baby?" She nodded her head scooting back. I got on top of her reaching down I rubbed her clit she moaned. "I want to taste you baby." I push two fingers in her pussy wiggling them around rubbing slow, soft circles over her clit, I applied little a bit of pressure she tossed her head back but no sound escaped. I moaned myself at how wet she was. I removed my fingers Mercedes sat straight up.

"Why you stopped?" I smirked. "No, no, no I want you inside of me fingers, tongue, your dick. I need you." She got that fire in her eyes.

"That's what I wanted to hear baby. That's all I wanted to hear." Slowly I slipped two fingers inside Mercedes released a long sultry seductive moan that made my dick twitch. I couldn't help but smile watching Mercedes enjoy my touch. Her hips began bucking forward again, so I circled a little harder on her clit, a little faster. I leaned down taking a nipple into my mouth, sucking and licking it in the same rhythm I was using on her clit. Hard, fast. Her hips were relentlessly fucking up against my hand.

"Yes...yes...oh God, yes!" She cried. I worked her clit a little more and began biting her nipple her fingernails dug deep into my back as she whimpered, moan and cried.

I kissed up her chest, her neck and began whispering in her ear. "That's it, baby, that's it. Come on Mercy...cum for me. Cum all over my hand. I wanna lick your juice off of it. I want you to taste you. Come on baby, cum for me. Cum for me, Mercy. Now, baby...cum now."

She thrust up one last time screamed. "Oh fuck Sam yesssssssssss." I sucked on her nipple as she rode out her organism. She slumped back exhausted I leaned over her, her eyes closed; small beads of sweat covered her forehead

"Cedes."

"Yes?" She opened her eyes as slowly licked her sweet nectar off my hands. "Mmmm." She moaned smiling.

Ray's POV

"Okay man we gave him an additional 5 minutes we should be good." Azimio opened the door peeking inside. "Are there any clothes leading a pathway up to their bedroom?"

"No, it's all clear. This is a nice place he rented. Man! I wish we were staying here but I get they want their privacy I can't see how they get busy in that house anyway it's like 74,659 people already running up and through there and her mother. I mean she's a good cook but I'm ready for her to go home now." I opened the fridge. "Mr. Evans stocked this thing up. Oooh Doritos. Want a bag?" I tossed him two bags and grabbed two Pepsi's.

"Yeah, you know she washed and ironed my underwear. I can't believe she's staying until the baby is born. That's too damn long. Sam and Mercedes are better than me."

"Sam won't be there all the time so he's good it's just Mercedes. It looked like she wanted to snap last night when her mother told TJ that he didn't have to eat his peas because he ate two and that was good enough."

"Yeah." I took sip of my drink, Azimio both look up towards the ceiling because of the sounds we're hearing. "Um…is that the squeaking of a bed and a headboard knocking against the wall?"

"Sam…yes don't stop! Don't stop! Fuck me daddy ooh let me get on top."

"Say my name. Spell it! Sam! Uh!"

Smack! "That would be a yes. Damn that was a loud ass smack! They're doing it! Let's go outside! ASAP!"

Mercedes POV

"M-E…SHIT R-R C-C-E –D-E-SSSS R-R-E-N…OOH SO NASTY E-E E-V-V-A-N-S. Mer-cedes E-Evans."

"That's my name! Wear it out!"

"Mercedes! Mercy Me!" I rode Sam hard and fast his hands were on my thigh as I bounced up and down like a horse. "Oh God! God! This is soo good!"

"Hell yeah! Ride me!" Sam rubbed his finger fast on my clit looking into my eyes he swirled his tongue on my breast I started bucking.

"Oh God Sam! I'm gonna cum". My body was shivering.

"SAM! I'm cumming!"

"Mercy I'm gonna cum! Mercedes! I'm cumming! He grunted my body shakes uncontrollably collapsing on Sam I felt his dick twitch as he filled me with his seed. "Shit! Ahhh…" His semi-hard dick slipped out of me. I kissed him on the lips. "Cedes you rocked my world."

I wiped the sweat off his chest. "You do too. I hope I some more of that this weekend to hold me over to our next rendezvous."

"Oh you will."

"Mommy Daddy! What room are you in?" TJ knocked on the door I saw the turn of the door knob.

"TJ! Don't open that door! Go back to your room daddy and I will be out there in a few minutes."

"Okay."

Sam went over to the door peeking out. "I didn't lock the door. He slept through all of that. You must've been screaming and moaning in stage whisper range."

"A what range?" I got off the bed limping. "Sam I was loud with what you were putting on me I'm used to screaming."

"Thought you did." He tugged his ear. "But it's all good to me. I love it when you scream my name."

"I love hearing you scream mine. Let's take a shower but I'm not putting these same clothes on again Sam."

He rubbed his forehead. "That's right our luggage is in the car. I'll go get them. You go get the bath ready. I'll be in."

"Okay." I turned to walk away he smacks my ass. "Can't get enough of that can you?"

Sam's POV

"No I can't!" I pulled up out my phone sending Ray and Azimio a text to bring in our luggage just to knock when they drop them at the door a couple minutes later I heard the knock. "Thanks guys."

"No problem."

"Hey I have 2 purple roses I need you to hide them. They're in the vase behind the curtain just tell TJ where to find them because we're going for a walk on the beach. I gotta go."

"Sam." Mercedes opened the bathroom door. "Are you joining me for this shower?"

"Yes, I am. I still want to play dirty with you while we get so fresh and so cleaned."

TJ's POV

I know mommy told me to go to my room to wait for her and daddy but I wanted to explore this house. "Wow! This is cool! We're right on the beach." I opened the sliding door. "Cool!"

"Ray I thought you closed this patio door TJ, what are you doing out here little buddy?"

"I wanted to explore the house! Are you guys staying here with us?"

"No, we're not. We just crashed here waiting for our room to get ready. Get in here before your mother says something but you see down there by that chair is two roses, your father told me to hide it there y'all going for a walk on the beach later he wants you to bring it to her."

"Okay. I got it." Azimio closed the patio door and I went downstairs.

"Mr. and Mrs. Evans you look refreshed and glowing. You had a good nap?"

"Oh yeah, I did. What are you guys doing here?" Mommy asked limping into the kitchen grabbing her a bottled water.

"Mommy, why are you limping? Did you hurt yourself?"

"No, TJ. Mommy is fine. We just did a joint workout." I looked from mommy and daddy he smirked. "Is y'all room ready?"

"Oh, yeah we're going now. Y'all going out to eat do you need us there?"

"No, we're good but this is the restaurant we'll be eating at our reservations are in an hour I already booked you two a table there just show up. It's not near ours though I just want y'all in the building just to be on the safe side."

"Understandable. We'll be there. See you in the hour."

"Bye Azimo and Ray."

"TJ let's get you changed for dinner. Baby I think you should call my mother to see where she is and tell Call Stevie to tell him that we made it here safe."

"Okay baby."

Sam's POV

"Kurt all you guys are here. Great! No we're not eating dinner tonight with y'all. Tomorrow is the day we'll meet up together and Sunday we're going to church I found this church and they have children's church. He's going to meet me at 9. Okay." Turned and Cedes and TJ were coming out on the patio. "Okay. Stevie we made it. I'll tell him. Bye."

"That was Uncle Stevie! I wanted to say hi."

"He said hi and happy we made it here safe he wishes he were here with us."

"That's good did you call my mom."

"Yeah, they're just pulling out. You want to go for a walk on the beach."

She looked down at her watch. "We got time TJ we're going for a walk on the beach that means no jumping and splashing in the water. You'll get to do that once we get back."

"Okay. Can I chase the birds though?"

"Yeah, you can!"

"Yes! RUN BIRDS! RUN!" TJ yelled running them away. "RUN FLORIST! ANGRY BIRDS!"

"Florist? Did he watch Mafia with Uncle Stevie?"

"Yes he did. That movie is hilarious. It's not many people out here. This is a perfect place to pop the question."

I raised my eyebrow. "It is? Let me write that down." I faked a note on my hand. "Perfect proposal spot, check. It is though."

"Here mommy." TJ handed Mercedes two purple roses. "Someone told me to give this to you."

"Thank you baby. Sam is this from you?"

"Yes, and TJ."

"Aww…these are beautiful." She smelled them. "They smell good. Thank you."

"No thank you for being my girl."

"And my mommy!" She gave us each a kiss. "Is it time for us to eat? All that running got me starvin' like Marvin."

"It is." The restaurant wasn't too far from our home a 10 minute drive there and we were walking inside. "Reservation for 3. The name is Evans."

"Okay follow me. Here you go."

"Thank you. Here you go baby. TJ no don't mess with the salt shakers. Nice restaurant."

"It is!" The waiter came and took our order I made sure Mercedes didn't get anything spicy or greasy I need her feeling well for tonight.

"This is good! Can I have another dessert?"

"No, TJ you can't. You're going to be jumping off the walls. Thank you for this treat baby."

"No problem." The waiter gave me back my card. "Y'all about ready to head back home."

"Yeah." 10 minutes later we were pulling up back home. "No, TJ we're not watching TV, bath and then we're going to relax on the patio."

"Okay."

"I'll give TJ a bath you go change we'll meet you out there." I kissed her. "Splash fun!" I yelled running in TJ's room closing the door. "Out these clothes and meet in the bathroom." I got TJ's bath water ready. "Yeah, perfect temp let's toss this Suave kids up in there. Ready to hop in."

"Yeah." I picked TJ up setting him down in the water. "Now can we talk about the ring since mommy isn't here?"

"Yeah, we can. So you said 4 to 5 carats?"

"Yep." TJ made himself a bubbles mustache. "How I look?"

"Bubbly. When mommy goes to sleep we're going to leave here and head to my apartment where daddy stays at while I'm here and we're going to pick the ring."

"Yes!"

"Get behind your ear and your other ear too. Which PJ's you want Avengers or Mickey?" I held up his options.

"Avengers."

"My son. Let's get you out of here this tub and dry you off brush your teeth and we're going relax on the patio." I dried TJ off, he put on his pajamas, teeth brushed. I went and changed and handled my business. "Hopefully we didn't keep you waiting too long."

"No, I just got out here myself. I needed a little rest."

"I thought you took a nap mommy."

"I did but mommy is pregnant and she gets sleepy a lot."

"Oh." I laughed thinking back to why she's sleepy or it could be the baby maybe a mix of both. "Mommy are you better now you were limping earlier why wasn't daddy?"

I scratched the back of my neck. "I…uh…I stretched."

"And mommy…."

"Look a shooting star! Make a wish!" Mercedes yelled as it flew over. "Make a wish baby."

"I wish I get Conniehey next week. What you wish for mommy?"

"I wish for a never ending love, family, friends, healthy baby and relationship. Sam."

"I wish that my wish will come true tomorrow and it will. It will." We sat out there for good hour TJ started getting restless which means its bed time. "It's getting late. We have a full day tomorrow. Come on TJ say your prayers.

"Please take care of my daddy, my mommy, my baby brother, my future doggie Conniehey and me, God. And please take care of yourself 'cause if anything happens to you we're gonna be in a big mess! Amen!"

"Amen."

"Amen. TJ, did Uncle Stevie teach you that prayer?" Mercedes asked TJ pulling the covers up around him.

"Yup! I like it!"

"It figures. Night munch."

"Night TJ."

"Night mommy daddy."

We went down the hall to our room Mercedes eyes were heavy as she tried to stay awake trying to hold a conversation. "And….my mother…"

"Mercedes, baby. Are you sleep? Yeah, you're sleep. I don't need an excuse to roll out with TJ now." I pulled the covers over her. "Baby I'm taking TJ with me for a ride. We'll be back in a little while. Sweet dreams." I kissed her on the forehead TJ was standing by the door waiting on me.

"Let's roll daddy!"

A/N: And all my life I've prayed for someone like you and I thank God that I, that I finally found you. Until tomorrow guys. iamJLS (:
