Sam's POV
"Azimio and Ray we should be back in 30 minutes. It shouldn't take that long to pick a ring."
"Have you picked a ring before?"
"No this will be my first time. See you guys when we get back."
45 later we were pulling up in the parking lot of my condo building. "This is where you live daddy?"
"Yes this is my home away from home." I opened the door TJ ran inside. "Hey Kurt."
"You're right on time did you have to come up with an excuse to come out this late with TJ?"
"No, the baby did it to her she's assisting and don't even know but it was easy."
"Sam, this is James the jeweler. James, Sam."
We shook hands. "Nice to meet you this is my son TJ."
"Hi."
"What are you doing up? Isn't it past your bedtime young man?"
"No it's not. I'm helping daddy pick the ring show us what you working with Mr. James the jeweler." He laughed picking up his briefcase going setting on the dining room table.
"Kurt told me that you wanted the princess cut, white gold price range don't matter."
"That's right."
"Well here they are look them over." He opened his briefcase.
Both of our jaws dropped our eyes were big like saucers as each ring sparkled and twinkled before us. "WOW! They're all shinny and sparkly! Which one we're going to pick daddy?"
"I don't know. So many to pick from." I propped my head up on my hand. "This is going to be a hard task."
"How about this one daddy?"
TJ pointed to a ring that was nice but the diamond was too small. "That's pretty but I don't know I've spied on her style of rings but...geez." TJ what you think about this one?" The diamond looked to be around 3 or 4cts., I don't know.
He shook his head no. "It's pretty daddy but we want something that's going to make mommy cry and look good on her finger and make the girls jealous. I like this one it's shinny all the way around and has diamonds going around the top."
"This is a beautiful ring the question is can you see me sliding this on mommy's finger."
"Yup, I do."
I eyed the ring. "Mercedes will you marry me?" I slipped it on my pinky finger. "You know when mommy was on the Grammy's I proposed to her. So this will be my second time."
"You did! What she say? Where was I? The both of you weren't dating then she was with him." Kurt said taking the ring taking out his loupe. "This is flawless."
"She said yes Kurt, this was when she was backstage someone was interviewing her after she won new artist of the year and I said, Mercedes I know you can't hear me but I gotta do this so I got down on my knee in front of my television and said, Mercedes will you marry me she screamed yes. I jumped up I kissed the screen and told her one day Mrs. Evans one day here we are a few hours from making one day a reality."
"Where was I daddy? I don't remember that."
"That's because you weren't born you were inside your mother at the Grammy's you walked the red carpet you were on the stage."
"So, you saying I got my shine on."
TJ had my phone taking a selfie. "Yeah, just that. So, is this the ring we're going to propose to mommy with tomorrow?"
"Yes that ring is a 10."
"This is the ring. What kind of ring is it?"
"This is a 4ct engagement ring princess cuts the diamond color is white with the invisible setting the primary diamond weight is 1 1/3 ct., diamond sidestone cuts are 17 rounds, and the metal is 14 karat white gold." I don't know this guy is saying actually but whatever it is Kurt is agreeing with him.
"Yup…that's right."
"Oh the only thing I understood from you was 14k white gold and this is a 4ct ring everything is else was mumbo jumbo to me. Let's talk a language I can understand. What's the price?"
"8k."
"You want cash or a check?"
Kurt gasped. "You roll around with 8k cash on you?"
"No, I just knew that I was going to be buying Mercedes engagement ring so I took 10k out of my account just in case. So, I need to know cash or check."
"The check is fine. You can put that money back in your account."
"Or you can give it to me. You know how many toys Uncle Stevie, me, Logan, Ian, and that Gabby can buy with that! A hundred million gazillion billion toys!"
"No, TJ. This money is going back into daddy's account the one that mommy knows of."
"Can I open an account?"
"Let mommy and me start you off with a piggy bank with allowance afterwards we'll go from there. Let me go grab my check book and write this check for you. TJ come with daddy to see his room." I walked to my room grabbing my check book, writing the check on the way back to the dining room.
"Who do I give the ring to?"
"You can give the ring to him. Keep a good eye on my ring."
"I will. I'll protect this like it's my baby and it is my baby for the night."
"Here you go you fine sir." I pulled the check out the book handing it over. "I want to thank you for meeting me so late in the night just that I wanted my son to be a part of this and we don't want mommy to find out."
"No problem. Are you nervous?"
"Not yet. I'm perfectly fine tomorrow as the hours inch closer we'll see. You have a good one James and thanks again." Closing the door I looked down at my watch. "We have a full day planned tomorrow so we got to head back home I got Azimio and Ray on lookout. Kurt was everything locked down back at the house?"
"Yeah, everything is locked down you know of the boxes in your basement right."
I nodded my head. "I know those boxes Puck and JJ picked up Mercedes thinks that Puck and J3 went back out there when he got in on Monday evening. Why? Did you go through them because Mercedes didn't want anyone to go through them we're going to go through those boxes next week when I come home. Wait, why are you asking me about them?"
He nervously clapped his hands. "No, I didn't just that her mother went through them. That's why she stayed back. She has Mercedes diary."
"Leave it to her. I don't want to mess up this perfect day or weekend we deserve a moment without any drama just happiness. Do you have the diary?"
"No, I don't. J3 doesn't have it either or JJ."
"Look, I'm going back home I'm going to act like you didn't tell me that. TJ whatever you doing stop it we have to get home."
"Who underwear is these?" TJ came out my room with Mercedes panties holding them up above his head. "Daddy you know about these? I found them in your drawer."
"TJ put those back where you got them from now."
"Okay."
He skipped back to my room I rubbed my right eye glancing at Kurt. "Mm…look at you. Did y'all get it in tonight? Are those scratch marks?" He pulled down my shirt. "No need to answer that y'all did. Was it good?"
"Kurt…"
He laughed. "Just think back some years ago Mercedes wasn't doing that and that's all you could think about but it looks like she knows what she's doing. You know when it come to this the ones that don't talk about it much are always the freaks."
"There is some truth to that she had me spelling her name."
"No way?"
"Yeah." I rubbed my neck a few times. "I spelled her full name first, middle and last. It was worth the wait! Back in the day I got tested for STIS's which was good I showed her my results up in the church showing her that I'm clean so that when we did it and I gave her everything she wouldn't catch anything. I said it was an offering I said to her in order for her to bring someone into your life you have to bring the Holy Spirit in first she said something about be thankful for your blessings. But yeah, the quiet ones are the freaks."
"Who is a freak?"
"Tell Uncle Kurt good night and you'll see him tomorrow."
"Night Uncle Kurt, is Gabby here this weekend?"
"Yes, she is so is Ian and Logan."
"Man! That means Gabby is coming home with mommy and me when it's time for us to head back."
"Night Kurt lock up everything when you leave." I closed the door. "You like the ring we picked."
"Like isn't the word daddy, loveded is the word."
On the ride back home I shared some stories with TJ about the fun games I used to play with Uncle Stevie and Aunt Stacey our conversation soon became one-sided. "TJ." I looked in the rear-view mirror his head was bobbing with the movement of the road. "At least he was up long enough to pick the ring." Entering the house Azimio and Ray were on the couch eating more bags of my cool ranch Doritos. "Hi guys making yourself at home. Everyone else does."
"How was it Sam?"
"Overwhelming but TJ and I picked the perfect ring. Did you hear any movement from her?"
"No, she's been knocked out since y'all left we're heading back to the hotel see you tomorrow. We're going to the zoo right?"
"Yeah, the zoo early so come by here around 8. Night guys."
"Night." I walked gingerly up the steps entering TJ's room I put him to bed I plugged in his nightlight. "Man Mercedes thought of everything." I walked down the hall entering the room I took off my shoes slipping back in bed. "Perfection." I drift off to sleep only to be woken up by the sound of Mercedes throwing up.
"HLEEAAHHHurkurkBLLEAAHH HLEEAAHHHurkurkBLLEAAHH"
"Poor baby." I leaned against the door frame.
"Did I wake you up baby?"
"You did its okay." I helped her off the floor I stood behind her as she brushed her teeth. "How long were you in here?"
"Not long. I need to munch on something from my bed stash."
"I finally get to look in this thing. What's in here?" I asked putting the box on the bed.
"Ginger snaps, lemons, pretzels, cereal, and ginger ale."
"I need one of these, daddy needs a bed stash as well I think I'll fill my up with cool ranch Doritos and some other things but your morning sickness should stop around week 8 that's what I read online. Do you remember when it stopped with TJ?" I handed her the bag of ginger snaps I tossed back a handful of frosted flakes.
"I think week 9. I have that written in my diary of which we'll not discuss we can talk about that later. So what do you have planned for us today?"
"The zoo I have a few fun things planned there and then we'll come back here to relax and we'll go from there. You want to go out to eat for breakfast tomorrow or you want to stay here and I'll go pick us up something."
"We can stay here and eat."
"Okay. We'll do that. You about done with your bed stash snack we need to catch our Z's mommy."
"Yeah, I am. I feel better now."
"That's good because I'm not all that sleepy." I placed the bed stash on my side. "I'm ready for a part 2 and this time." I slipped under the covers moving her panties to the side rubbing circles on her clit. "You're going to spell my name. It's been a minute since you've rode my tongue." I inhaled her scent my tongue circles her warm clit gently I nibbled on her clit. I heard her gasp.
"Sam…"
I popped up from under the covers. "That's my name you're going to wear it out." I pulled them over me going to town.
Kurt's POV
Today has finally arrived it is proposal day! I woke extra early to kick off this day. I hit up the complimentary breakfast where I ran into JJ. "Morning JJ. We're you able to get the diary back?"
"Morning no, I wasn't. I don't know what she did with it." He sipped his coffee. "I asked for her key last night so I could go into her room I searched high and low and nothing. This sucks."
"Let's put that on the back burner for now let me show you the ring."
I slid box over to him. "This is a beautiful ring! How much he pay for this?"
"8k. He went all out."
"Yes, he did Cedes is going to lose it when that is on her finger." He slid the box back over. "So what's the plan for today?"
"They're going to the zoo Azimio and Ray already left to meet them at the house they're going be at the zoo until around 1 or 2 Sam should just text me and back to the house they go where she'll get the roses your mother will be there to watch TJ because Sam has booked Mercedes a spa treatment and that should be done around I want to say 5 or 6 so, while Mercedes is out the house we're going to do a walk-through of the proposal and set everything up."
"What about the group Train? Are they going to be there?"
"Yeah, they're going to be there I have to time how long it's going to take TJ to walk over to the table after they end the song and Sam has to walk up and say what he has to say, I have to oversee the set up the ladies are helping me which is good because I'd be running around here with my head cut off." JJ followed me as I tossed out my trash. "I'm out but if you get your hands on that diary text me."
"I will."
Mercedes POV
Damn that Sam he got me limping again! He had me spell his name twice last night. "Sam, wake up." I pulled the covers off him, he yanked them back.
"Sleepy, baby."
"What you mean sleepy? You went to bed when I went to bed last night and woke up with me when I when got sick last night then you had me ride your tongue. I know you not sleepy come on time to get up, daddy." Sam mumbled something incoherent pulling the covers over his head. "Get up baby its seven o'clock and by this time TJ is up."
"5 more minutes, baby."
I limped over to the door. "Okay I'll give you 5 more minutes Sam and when I return you should be up okay Sam. Sam."
Srrrrrrnnnnnnkkkkk."
"He done went back to sleep snoring all loud." I went to TJ's room he's knocked out hanging off the bed I pulled back. "He's still sleep time to get up bear." I pulled back the covers he yanked them back. "You usually be up by now. Come on bear bear time to get up. We have a full day."
"Sleepy mommy."
"You went to sleep at a good time last night you should bright eyed and bushy tail." I tossed the covers on the other bed sitting down. "There you go. Good morning. How'd you sleep last night?"
"Morning mommy. Good. How about you and daddy?" He laid his head in my lap.
"We slept good very good. I have to ask you a question before daddy gets up. What does daddy have planned for me?"
He sat up giving me his side-eye. "I can't tell you mommy, it's a secret between daddy and me no mommy allowed."
"If you tell me you can get Conniehey." I singsong.
He smiled. "You play dirty mommy. I want Conniehey but daddy wouldn't like if I told you what he got planned."
"That's right." I jumped. "I would not like that look at you baby trying to bribe my son with what he wants. Good job TJ with not falling for that and for that alone you're gonna get Conniehey soon."
TJ starting jumping on the bed. "Yay! Wishes do come true! Can I get him next week when Gabby comes?"
"No, we'll discuss this later. Sam you can go out and get breakfast. I won't bribe TJ or fish for any more details of what you have planned for me, but I do have one question."
"What is it?"
"Why were you and TJ still sleep after 7 you said last night you two were gonna be up at the crack of dawn. What happened to that?" I folded my arms watching his eyes dart around the room.
"Um...we stayed up a little later after you went to sleep and played games."
"What games did you play? Don't answer this Sam this is for TJ. What games did you play last night with daddy?"
TJ was fiddling with the tag on the pillow looking at Sam I turned around Sam looked quickly looked away. "Um…we played um…we played flashlight tag on the beach. It was fun."
"Yeah, I totally forgot we did play that. TJ beat me he's just too good." He wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Okay. But Sam you knew you had this day planned. Why would you?"
"The game went longer than I expected but I'm up I'm going to go get the food, Ray and Azimio texted me and they're on their way here. I need to go change."
"Let's get you ready for today TJ."
Sam's POV
Glad I told TJ about the games we used to play because I was not expected to be questioned on why TJ and me were late getting up. I handled my morning business, ordered breakfast, Ray and Azimio just pulled up.
"Morning Azimo and Ray, y'all ready to go to the zoo later on today!"
"Yeah, I'm ready to see my boy Kung Fu Panda. What animal are you looking forward to seeing Sam?"
"The hyenas."
"Morning Azimio and Ray. Excited for the zoo?" TJ asked them turning on the TV changing the channel to Animal Planet. "Too Cute! Is on. Yes it's the dog episode."
"We are what animal are you looking forward to see TJ?"
"Simba! We both can't wait to be king but at the moment I'm a prince. Y'all excited?"
"We are! It's been a minute since I've went to a zoo. Especially this early the zoo opens at 9. Why are we going there this early?"
"TJ go check on mommy."
"Okay." He ran up the stairs.
"I have a surprise for TJ early morning with the pandas it includes a tour around the zoo getting up close with other animals."
"Wow! I can't wait for this! How much something like cost?"
"$89 per person not to even mention admission so I shelled out over $600 for this. Yeah so we're going to be at the zoo for the early part of the day then, I'm surprising her with roses with a note I'm asking Mercedes out for a romantic dinner then she's off for some pampering with you guys on watch while the rest of us stay back to do a walk-through of the proposal and now I have to run to pick up breakfast."
"She's ready!"
"Morning Azimio and Ray."
"Morning Mrs. Evans excited about the zoo."
"I am I'm really looking forward to seeing the hyenas. Sam where is breakfast?" She limped into the kitchen pouring her something to drink. "TJ you want something to drink."
"I was just waiting for Ray and Azimio to get here I'm going to get it now. TJ you wanna come with me or stay back and keep mommy company."
"Imma stay back just in case she needs help getting something she's limping again this morning that has to be some work out y'all be doing daddy mommy why don't you stretched so you won't be limping."
Ray and Azimio bust out laughing. "Um. Yeah. I'll be back in 10 minutes."
TJ's POV
Daddy finally came back with the food because I was starvin' like Marvin we ate and off we were to the zoo. I was playing my game when daddy told me to look up.
"TJ look, where we're at."
"The zoo! Yay!"
"Score 1 for daddy today and our day is just starting." We arrived early daddy got a good parking spot.
"It's not too many people here. Are you sure the zoo is open at this hour?"
"Yeah baby. It's a surprise for TJ." We entered the zoo and were placed in a tiny group with other people we rode this shuttle cart to this house.
"Daddy where are we going? I want to see Simba and Kung Fu Panda."
"You're the first guest to say good morning to the pandas."
The lady said I hugged daddy. "Thank you daddy! Look he's eating bamboo."
"That's right where you learn that at."
"Animal Planet but I fell asleep before they said why they eat it so much."
"Do you know what a herbivorous and a carnivores is?"
"Yes, a herbivorous is an animal that only eat plants and a carnivore is animal that eats meat."
"That's correct panda bears can eat meat but they choose the vegetarian lifestyle."
"Let me find out Kung Fu Panda can munch on some meat but rather be Hollywood." Azimio said tapping on the glass. "Hey! Throw me some bamboo." He laughed.
"You are a very intelligent boy where are your parents?"
"Here we are. He is very intelligent we're very much so invested into his education." Daddy said. "Quick question does this shuttle cart visited the hyenas?
"It does."
"Yes! TJ we get to see the hyenas baby hopefully they're cuter than the ones we know!" Mommy nudge him. "Awesome! What? Sorry."
"It's okay. Would you like your picture taken with panda?"
"Yes!" The lady took our picture and we had over two hours visiting the various animals around the zoo.
"Mommy you like seeing the animals that way when we were on the shuttle?"
"Yes, I do I don't have to walk. Smart idea baby."
"Thank you."
"SIMBA!" Mommy pulled out her camera taking pictures of him. "Mommy take my picture with me and Simba." I stood up cheesing hard. "Simba where is Mufasa? Or does he live in you."
"TJ, look over there."
"Yikes! He's huge! Sorry Mufasa! Mommy instead of a dog I want him. He's sure to bite Gabby."
"Thaddeus, what have I told you about if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it all. Say one more thing about Conniehey biting Gabby and you not getting him."
"Daddy said I could get him."
"Me and daddy still have to talk about that." She looked through her purse I gave her the finger only this time she looked up and caught me I stuffed my hands in my pockets. "Thaddeus Joshua Evans, did you just give your mother the finger."
"N-No."
She tilted her head. "Come again. Get over here right now." She said through clench teeth. I stood there not moving. "Thaddeus come here. If I have to say it again." She narrowed her eyes as I made the walk of shame wiping my eyes. "No don't cry you big, bad, and grown with your narrow behind. Where you learn that from? Don't you think about shrugging your shoulders? Where you learn that gesture from? I don't do that; your father doesn't do that. Where?" I turned my head away she turned it back to face her she didn't let go. "Where Thaddeus?" I was sniffling. "You're not going to answer me that is fine." She pinched me.
I rubbed my arm. "What just happened?" Daddy asked as I went over to him crying. "What's wrong?"
"Your son gave me the finger. I pinched him that's why he's crying. You don't do that."
"Thaddeus Joshua Evans. Lift your head up. Look at me. I'm highly disappointed in you. You don't go around flipping the bird off to your mother or any other adult you're basically still cussing without the words. You want me to tell Uncle Stevie about this?"
"N-No h-he w-w-won't p-play g-games with m-me n-no more. I-I'm s-sorry m-mommy. I-I only d-did i-it b-because I s-saw someone e-else d-do it."
"That's still not a good enough reason to do that. I thought I told you that before. Baby are you about ready to go, my feet are killing me."
"Sure, we walked around long enough. We'll visit again some other time maybe during Halloween. Say goodbye to the animals TJ."
"B-Bye animals." I waved as we left.
Mercedes POV
Back to our home away from home Sam took TJ up to his room, Ray and Azimio are out on the beach jumping waves, I laid back on the couch Sam, lifted my feet sitting down resting them in his lap massaging them.
"That feels good."
I opened one eye. "Yes, but I can't believe he'd do something like that. I want to know where he learned it from. Our 5 year old flipped me off. No! He's lucky we were in public because had I caught him giving me the bird at home part 3."
"Part 3? What does that consist of?" He asked.
"You don't want to know but other than that little thing with TJ that was nice. We're going to have to do that again, maybe sometime before Halloween."
"I'll see what I can do." The doorbell rang Sam got up but he didn't head towards the door. "Um…babe can you get the door I have to use the bathroom."
"Okay." I went over to the door opening it there was a man there with a bouquet of roses. "Yes."
"These are for you. Have a good day Ms. Jones."
"Ms. Jones? It's Mrs. Evans!" I yelled closing the door. "These are beautiful and there's a card, Mercedes look up Sam is standing in front of you he has something to ask you." I looked up he was standing there smiling. "What you have to ask me Sam?"
"I would like to know would like to go on a date tonight."
"Awww…baby I would love to go on a date with you but who is going to watch TJ I haven't seen my mother or heard from her since we've got here. She is here right?" I picked up my phone, Sam took it from me.
"Yeah, she's here I talked to her she said she wanted to give us our privacy but TJ's all set and taken care of."
"Okay that's good I guess I should go get in a nap before our date."
"You ma'am don't have time for a nap I've booked you a few hours at the spa for some pampering just you then later on tonight you and I will dine at the finest restaurant with the most amazing view and band."
"Sam! You are too sweet you are too much! I leave now?" I leaned in for a kiss.
"Yes, your chariot waits. I'll put these in a vase." He opened the door. "I got you a limo. Azimio and Ray are already in there just waiting on you. Go ahead baby. I can't wait to see you tonight."
"I love you Sam."
"I love you more Mercedes."
Sam's POV
I watched the limo pull out from the house I called Kurt. "She's gone. How minute minutes are you away? You're 20 minutes away. I'll see you soon." I ran back in the house up to TJ's room he had just woke up. "I was just coming to wake you up. Uncle Kurt and everyone are 20 minutes away."
"Okay. Daddy I'm sorry for flipping off mommy. I saw Gabby do it I really did and I copied her."
"Well, just because you see someone do something doesn't mean you have to copy. You have to be a leader not a follower. Now I know I promised you that I'd get you out of trouble with mommy if you did something bad but I don't think I'll use it for this. You're going to be punished for that and I'm thinking about taking away your video game play next week you need a break from those games anyway I know they're fun but you need to run around. I'll talk to mommy tomorrow because in a few hours you and I are popping the question to mommy. Let's wipe your face and change your clothes because they'll be here shortly." I changed TJ into some fresh clothes we went downstairs as soon as his foot hit the bottom stop the doorbell rang. "That was quick." I opened the door and they all piled in.
"Hi TJ."
'"Logan! Ian! Hi Gabby! Daddy can we go play on the beach?"
"No, not now we have to walk through the proposal you can play on the beach later once we get through."
"Does Mercedes suspect anything?" Quinn asked.
"She was trying to fish information out of TJ this morning bribing him with McConaughey but he didn't take it."
"My nephew." JJ gave him a hi-five. "Sam I guess you heard about that?"
"Yeah, speaking of that did you get it back?"
"No."
"We'll discuss this later." The doorbell rang again. "I got it!" I yelled everyone was too busy exploring the house. "Train. Wassup guys."
"You are what's up that is and the proposal tonight. You ready for this Sam?"
"I am let me introduce you to my family. I cupped my hands around my mouth yelling to quiet them down. "Hey! Everyone quiet I want to introduce you to Train, Train this is my son TJ, my brother Stevie, sister Stacey, that's Quinn, Rachel, Santana, Brittany, Artie, Kurt, Blaine, JJ, J3, my niece Gabby and nephews Ian and Logan, and I saved the best for last this lady right here is my amazing mother in-law, Mama Jones."
"Nice to meet you all. You're all here to witness the proposal tonight."
"Yes, we are." They answered.
"This is going to be amazing."
"Everyone outside for our rehearsal walk-through!" Kurt yelled walking outside. "Let's go people we have a few hours to get this thing done before she returns. Chop, chop!" We made our way down the beach Kurt started to outline where everything was going to be. "Okay so the table is going to be right here, and there is going to be an aisle lit by candles and purple/lilac rose petals on the sand the torches will be there, there, and there."
"How many candles?" Rachel asked.
"We'll have 16 candles 8 on each side which direction will you come from." He asked pointing to Train.
"I want them to enter from that way so Mercedes won't see me coming I want her back to me."
"Okay." He dragged two chairs one labeled Mercedes and the other Sam to where the table was going to be. "Act like you're singing the song well not now we have an audio version, Sam sit in the chair and then excuse yourself. Go." He waved me off.
Kurt played the song on his phone and 3:52 minutes later TJ walked over to the chair. "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 twinkle in his eye. Daddy here's the ring."
"Sam!"
I waved my hands in the air. "This is all wrong I should come before TJ because I have something to say."
"Okay. Let's start this over again. Sam sit, stand go. Train sings." Kurt played the song again. "Sam here's your cue."
I walked over to the chair. "Mercedes Renee Jones when you walked out of my life 7 years ago I thought I lost my true love forever it took a fool to not cherish you the way that I've always cherished you and I'll forever will. TJ should walk on this part."
"TJ walk." Kurt yelled lifting up his glasses.
"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 twinkle in his eye. Daddy here's the ring."
"I'm down on my knee because I have to ask you this question, Mercedes will you marry me?"
"No, I think that you should say all of what you have to say first and then TJ comes out when you say I have to ask you this question." Stacey chimed in. "It sounds better that way."
"Let's try it! From the top!" Blaine yelled. "We're T-minus 5 hours and counting until Mercedes says yes to Sam let's get this thing right! Sam you sit, fake talk."
"Blah blah lifestyle. Mercedes will you excuse me I have to use the bathroom."
"Don't say that just say, Mercedes will you excuse me and walk away. Train sings." Kurt played the song again. "Sam come on!"
"Mercedes Renee Jones when you walked out of my life 7 years ago I thought I lost my true love forever it took a fool to not cherish you the way that I've always cherished you and I'll forever will. I'm down on my knee because I have to ask you this question"
"TJ this is your cue."
"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 twinkle in his eye. Daddy here's the ring."
"Mercedes will you marry me?"
"Excellent! Let's go through this again! But first ND family you'll be standing in these areas over here these will be the best angles to capture the moment. I know because I did a test photo op out here when Sam picked this location. TJ when you say your little speech I want you to get down on your knee. Say your speech. Walk walk…get down on your knee."
"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 twinkle in his eye. Daddy here's the ring."
"Excellent."
"What if she says no?" Puck said running over with a football.
"Puck!" Everyone yelled.
"What? It is a possibility that she could but I know she's not she's going to say yes. Ready to take this huge step Sam I mean you already took it in secret but are you ready?"
"I'm more than ready."
"From the top!" Kurt yelled. "Come on people! "It's almost here people!"
Mercedes POV
"Mrs. Evans welcome everything is already set up for you, Mr. Evans marked off what he wanted. Come on let's get started on your manicure. So what is this occasion for?" She asked as me.
"He's taking me out on a date he sent me flowers, and got a limo."
"What all of this for just a date? Does he have brother? An Uncle?"
I laughed. "He does have an uncle but he's in his late 60s or 70s he has a brother but he has someone who has his heart, already his nephew."
"Sam, mention his son. How old is he?"
"TJ is 5 and he's the best thing to ever come in my life besides Sam."
"How long have you known Sam?"
"High school we were on and off throughout and then once I graduated we broke up because I moved to LA to pursue my music career and take extension classes at UCLA then off to New York I was because I missed him and well I missed everyone and we tried it but we broke up then I moved onto another relationship then I got pregnant with my son."
"So, TJ isn't Sam son?"
"No, TJ's is Sam's son TJ is an Evans through and through just because you got me pregnant by getting me drunk don't make him the daddy."
"What? What kind of jerk would do that?"
I kissed my teeth. "A man who is self-centered on himself yeah it was bad he hit me too."
"Okay that man is despicable! I dislike him so much I can't imagine him as anyone and I don't even know him. Did your son see you get hit?"
"Yeah." I blinked back my tears. "TJ saw and heard a few things, Tank even hit him he just shared that with me no too long ago."
"I'm going need him to die a horrible death! How could you do that to the mother of your child in front of him? Ugh…I'm going to need Sam to lay hands on him I don't condone violence but he needs 2 black eyes and a busted lip and a busted hip, a busted jaw, he just needs to be busted. Are you going to share your story?"
"I am. I have new music coming out soon and some other things too I have a diary I kept hidden from him where I wrote down everything."
"That's good because this is needs to be known. Forget about his trifling ass and the horse he rode in on. Tell me more about Sam."
I smiled. "Sam is compassionate, understanding, supportive, caring, loving, he makes me laugh with his impersonations, loyal, he always puts my needs or TJ's needs first, handsome, sweet, manly, sometimes he's a little bit of a dork and I love that about him, God fearing, amazing, sexy, and all those words I said to describe him it all equals to one word."
"What's that word?"
"Mine. He's mine and I'm his. I can't wait to see what else he has planned for tonight. Well you're all done just that you have to get dressed here."
"But I don't have my outfit my mother…" She held up her hand.
"She dropped it off. Go get dressed and then we'll do your hair. Go. Go."
Sam's POV
"It's almost show time. I'm nervous. I'm nervous." I was in the mirror checking my outfit. "You look good Sam. I'm nervous. I'm nervous. Calm down. Stop shaking."
"Sam!" Stacey yelled. "Calm down breath. Inhale exhale. Feel better?"
"Y-Yeah. It's finally here Stacey the moment I've been waiting for. Does anyone have an idea when Mercedes limo is pulling up?"
"She's five minutes away which means you need to be outside waiting for her. Places everyone! This is it!"
"You look good daddy."
"Thank you TJ, you look handsome yourself."
"Outside Sam she'll soon be here. Good Luck!" Blaine said pushing me out the door I walked standing on the red carpet. "Here she comes." I looked at the house everyone was peeking out the window "Close the window and door!" They scampered away I took a deep breath I walked over to her side opening the door. "Hello Mrs. Evans."
"Sam…what is this?"
"You look beautiful baby." I leaned in for a kiss. "This is all for you."
"Thank you. What is this red carpet all about? I thought we were going to eat at a restaurant."
"We are our table is waiting for us. I love your hair."
"T-Thank you baby." I took her hand walking the red carpet to the top of the steps she gasped. "Sam! What?"
"This is our restaurant I've named it after my girl, my one and only girl tonight you and I are dining with this lovely view in Café Mercy. "Shall we?"
"Y-Yeah, baby this is beautiful oh the purple rose petals the candles…oh the little doves. Sam you've out done yourself."
"Anything for you baby." I kissed her hand. "I love you."
"I love too."
"Hello I'm am your chef for tonight. I am Chef Gordon and you must be Mercedes. The name sake of this outdoor restaurant."
"You hired a chef?"
"That I did."
"I am." She answered whispering.
"I see why Sam named if after you, you are beautiful Ms. Jones tonight's menu for the appetizer we have lobster salad baby vegetables and lemon crème fraiche, main entrée pan seared Cod with grilled tomato and artichoke heart butter sauce served with herb risotto and for dessert Chocolate amour. Salads!" He clapped two waiters bought out the salads. "Enjoy."
"Thank you."
"This is really good."
"I know it is. I know I told you this when you exited the limo but it's worth repeating again, you are beautiful baby I'm lucky to have you."
"I'm lucky to have you too. Where is TJ?"
"He's with your mother at my apartment he wanted me to tell you that he's sorry again for flipping you the bird and he wanted me to give you this."
I handed her the card. "Dear mommy enjoy your dinner date with daddy you deserve it you are the bestest mommy in the world. Love, TJ. PS: I'm never giving the finger again I love you, TJ. Aww…he drew a picture of him and is that Gabby."
"Yeah, that's him and they're eating cookies."
"This so sweet I'm going to put this on the refrigerator once we get home. Baby is this what wish you wished for last night?"
"Part of it the best is yet to come. How was the spa?"
"Everything you truly had me pampered." I brushed my foot over hers. "Are you playing footsie with me?"
"I am."
"Well…how you feel about this?" I felt her foot slide up my leg resting at my crotch. "You like?."
"Yes." Mercedes looks so damn sexy in that dress I just want to rip it off of her and make sweet love to her. It just makes her flawless skin pop! "That dress looks good on you. I'm going to take it off you later."
"I want you to."
TJ's POV
Everyone was in the house spying on mommy and daddy through the windows I went and stood on the couch getting a better view of them. "Mommy just fed daddy. Mommy looks pretty don't she granny."
I turned and granny had this purple book. I recognize this book. "Yeah, baby. I can't believe that."
"What? Granny what are you reading?"
"Your mother's diary."
"Why are you reading that?" I reached out for it she pulled it away from me. "That's personal! You shouldn't be reading that!"
"I can she's my daughter and lower your voice."
"No!" I jumped off the couch. "And she's my mommy even I know better I'm telling Uncle JJ. Uncle JJ! Uncle JJ" I ran upstairs tugging on his shirt. "Granny has mommy's diary and she's reading it in the living room."
He ran down the stairs I followed. "I know mom give it here."
"No, you want to read about what that Tank did."
"No I don't…" He shouted.
"Here listen to this this is when TJ was starting eat table food he tried to force feed TJ and he got upset throwing the food everywhere Mercedes threw the table top off the highchair running with TJ in the bedroom locking the door until he calmed down."
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" Uncle JJ yelled. "What part about no don't you understand? Leave it up to you to bring that down here. This isn't the week or time for that."
"So, when is the right time? I want to know beforehand J3 listened to me read it."
"Actually I drowned you out. I agree with JJ this isn't the time."
"Listen.. "
"No!"
"What's going on with all the shouting up in here can y'all keep it down! It's almost time for Sam to pop the question. Is that Mercedes diary?" Uncle Kurt asked walking towards granny she backed up into the kitchen.
"Yes it is."
"JJ take it and hide it. It's almost time for Train to come up. Don't ruin this night for Mercedes and Sam. He's planned this whole thing and it will not be ruined because you are nosy Mama Jones. I love you but you went too far going through something that had no business with you, yes, I'm pushy and all of that but I know my boundaries you don't. Those are Mercedes words and private thoughts if she wants to share with you she will if not so be it. Give JJ the diary." She handed it to him. "Good. Now let's go outside because it's time about for the main event. Places everyone!" They started spilling out of their perched spy spots granny on the other hand stayed inside. "TJ, are you ready to hand the ring to your father."
"I am." Uncle Kurt handed me the box I sighed. "I'm nervous."
"Don't be you're going to do good. Come on." I followed Uncle Kurt to where everyone was standing I saw Train way off in the distance. "It's show time Mr. Thaddeus Joshua Evans, Esq." I cocked my hat to the side popping my collar.
Mercedes POV
I knew this man had something up his sleeve but not this! The food is to die for the view is everything and it's just he and I. I don't want this night to end. I want it to last forever. Sam looks so sexy in his white outfit. "This chocolate amour is soo good."
"It is Mercedes will you excuse me."
"Sure." He kissed me walking away. "Wow this is amazing. He out did himself. Who is that singing?" I turned around and it's Train. "Train!" I dabbed my eyes.
"Forever can never be long enough for me to feel like I've had long enough with you forget the world now, we won't let them see but there's one thing left to do now that the weight has lifted love has surely shifted my way Marry me today and every day Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say "Hello" in this café say you will mm-hmm say you will mm-hmm together can never be close enough for me to feel like I am close enough to you, you wear white and I'll wear out the words "I love you" and you're beautiful now that the wait is over and love has finally shown her my way Marry me Today and every day Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say "Hello" in this café say you will mm-hmm say you will mm-hmm promise me you'll always be happy by my side I promise to sing to you when all the music dies and marry me today and everyday Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say "Hello" in this café say you will mm-hmm say you will mm-hmm Marry me mm-hmm".
"S-Sam…"
"Hello." He thumbed my tears away. "Mercedes Renee Jones when you walked out of my life 7 years ago I thought I lost my true love forever it took a fool to not cherish you the way that I've always cherished you and I'll forever will." Oh he's getting down on his knee! This is it! Where is the ring though? "I'm down on my knee because I have to ask you this question."
"Baby…" I turned away wiping my tears. "TJ…aww baby you look so cute."
TJ got down on one knee. "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 twinkle and apple of his eye. Daddy here's the ring."
"Thank you TJ." He bowed his head wiping away his tears. "M-Mercedes will you marry me?" He asked opening the up the box.
I bit my lip. "Y-Yes!" I whispered.
"What was that? I didn't hear you." He said removing my band sliding the ring on my finger. "Say you'll be mine forever baby."
"Yes!" He pulled me out my seat kissing me the world vanished as his lips moved with mine I pulled back. "Yes! Yes!"
"MOMMY SAID YES! MOMMY SAID YES! SHE AND DADDY ARE GETTING MARRIED!"
