ENJOY :)

Its been one week. One week since the incident. Sam missed Mercedes. He was starting to regret yelling at her but he was so mad. He knew she was only trying to help but it still hurt that she didn't tell him. He watched as Madison came in the kitchen and sat at the table ignoring him. Every since he told her she couldn't see Mercedes she stopped speaking to him. He walked over and handed her lunch, "Are you hungry?"

"Nope." She said in a short tone as she placed her lunch box in her book bag.

"Muffin.." He started but was cut off by the horn of the bus.

Madison got up from the chair and grabbed her bag, walking towards the front door, pulling it open.

Sam walked behind her, grabbing her small hand as they walked down the driveway in silence. He bent down and gave her a kiss, "I love you."

"I love you too." She said reluctantly. She turned around and got on the bus.

Sam sighed as he watched the bus disappear down the road. He turned around and went back into the house. He picked up the Manila folder that had cause him so much trouble and grabbed his keys to his truck. He knew what he had to do to make sure that Nicole, or whatever her name is, wouldn't hurt them anymore.

Ever wonder about what he's doing
How it all turned to lies
Sometimes I think that it's better
To never ask why

Mercedes sighed with relief as she finished the last of the mountains of paperwork she had. She had court on Monday and then she was off for two weeks for Christmas. She hummed softly to the music that was flowing from her radio. Her and Sam haven't spoken in a week and she was miserable. She never meant to hurt him or put Madison in danger, that was the last thing she wanted to do.

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die

You gotta get up and try, try, try
You gotta get up and try, try, try
You gotta get up and try, try, try

She cut the radio down when she saw her phone vibrating, indicating she had a text message.

Turn on the news. Now.

Mercedes looked at it confused but obliged. Grabbing the remote, she switched on the TV and turned around in her chair.

Breaking News. Allison Parks, as seen on the picture above, formerly known by her alias name, Nicole Bridges, has been arrested. Our sources say that Parks has been on a run for over ten years. She has changed her identity, has a great college education and she has a daughter. Sounds crazy right? As you remember, as the video shows above, Miami police has been looking for her every since the notorious bank robbery and aggravated assault that happened years ago involving two teenagers. Police are not releasing how they got this information but Parks case will be handed over to MPD. We will have more information on this story on our five o'clock segment.

Mercedes clicked off the TV with a sigh, "Well, it's done." She mumbled to herself. She turned around, picking up her phone when she saw Santana calling.

"Puede usted creer esta Mercedes? I think you and lover boy need to talk."

"For what Santana? I think he has made it clear that he doesn't want me around after what I did."

Santana rolled her eyes, "And you believe that? Look I know he probably was pissed as hell and I would be too."

Mercedes sank in her chair, feeling her face start to crumble up.

"But he loves you." Santana said quietly, "And if he can't forgive you, then he doesn't deserve you in his life."

Mercedes blinked her eyes rapidly to keep her tears at bay, "I got to go San." She hung up the phone quickly and placed her hands over her face. She jumped slightly when she heard the office phone ringing. She reached over and picked it up, "Hello?"

"Mer-Merc..Mercedes." Puck said out of breath.

Mercedes sat up in her chair alerted, "What's wrong?"

"Quinn's water broke early this morning and I tried to call you but I didn't get an answer. I called your secretary and she told me that you were in a meeting. We're at the hospital. She told me she's not doing anything without you."

"I'm on my way." She said excitedly as she hung up the phone. She grabbed her purse and jacket, swinging her office door open.

Sam was exhausted from his morning at the police station. He was grateful that they were sending Nicole back to Miami and she was out of their lives forever. He was just about to fix him a sandwich when his phone dinged. It was Puck.

Quinn's water broke and we are at the hospital.

Sam's eyes bugged out when he read the text, "Holy Shit." He dropped the stuff on the counter and ran to his living room and headed out the door. He had a big grin forming on his face as he started up his truck.

Mercedes smiled as the nurse helped her get scrubbed up. She had just arrived at the hospital five minutes ago and the excitement that was buzzing through Beth and Puck was contagious. She thanked the nurse for helping her and walked over and released Puck's hand, which was currently being crushed by Quinn and replaced it with hers.

"Thank you." Puck whispered as he tended to his now, probably sprained hand.

Mercedes giggled at him. Turning back to her, "You're doing great babe."

Quinn was breathing in and out, sweat pouring down her face. She turned to her best friend and smiled through another contraction, "T-Thank you for being h-here."

"I wouldn't be anywhere else." She smiled as she grabbed a cold towel and wiped her face. This wasn't their first time in a hospital room together. Mercedes was there with Quinn when she gave birth to Beth and a year later, Quinn was there when she had Maverick. Mercedes cringed a little when she felt her squeeze her hand.

"GET HIM OUT OF ME." She yelled out. Turning to throw a quick glare at Puck, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT PUCKERMAN. YOU'RE NEVER TOUCHING ME AGAIN!"

Mercedes patted Puck's shoulder, "You know she doesn't mean it."

Before he could respond, the doctor came in with his gloves, "Alright Mrs. Puckerman, you're ten centimeters dilated and it's time." He sat down on his stool as the nurses help get Quinn ready.

Mercedes went to the other side so that Puck could have his spot back.

The doctors guided her through everything. After about seven big pushes, Carson James Puckerman was born. Mercedes felt her eyes starting to water when she saw him. He was so adorable. She watched as the nurses clean him off and gave him to Quinn. She stepped back and removed her mask. Smiling at the interaction between the small family. She definitely cried when she saw Puck tear up, "Are you getting soft on me Noah?"

Puck let out a watery laugh as he looked down at Carson, "Shut up Jones." He smiled over at her, "You want to hold him?"

Mercedes nodded as she walked over and took the small baby into her arms, "Hey baby." She smiled softly when he opened his eyes, "You're so handsome." She rocked him back and forth, all the heartbreak and stress from the week slowing melting away as she held the precious newborn in her arms. Unbeknownst to her, she was being watched by someone through the glass.

Sam smiled as he watched Mercedes through the window. It seemed like she has gotten more beautiful since the last time he saw her, and even more now with the baby in her arms. He missed her. He missed the warmth of her body against his. He missed the smell of her strawberry scented hair. He missed everything. He just wanted his girlfriend back.

Mercedes handed Carson back to her parents and told them that she was going to give them some alone time. Stripping from her scrubs, she sat them on the counter and opened the door to the room. She was immediately met by Beth.

Beth smiled at Mercedes and gave her a big hug.

"What's this for?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around the taller girl's waist.

"Just because." Beth hugged her tightly before she let go, "I love you Aunt Cedes." She bent down and gave her a kiss on the cheek before she walked into the room.

Mercedes smiled at her, "Love you too Beth." She whispered as she walked towards the waiting room. She froze when she spotted Sam. She took him in and couldn't help but sigh. He looked good. She didn't know what to do. Do I speak? Do I walk away? She had an internal battle in her mind.

Sam looked up and his gaze went straight to hers. He was on his feet before he knew it, making his way towards her.

Mercedes bit down on her lip as she looked at him. What do I say? Is he going to tell me that he doesn't want to be with me? She tucked in a piece of her hair behind her ear nervously.

Sam looked at her, "Hi."

"Hi." She suddenly found the ground very interesting, trying to ingore his intense gaze. She didn't know why her heart was starting to beat fast.

"Can we go somewhere and talk?" Sam asked nervously.

"Um..s-sure." Mercedes said as she led them outside to a secluded area.

Sam sighed as he looked at her, "I-I." He cleared his throat a little, "I miss you." He admitted.

Mercedes finally looked up at him, "I miss you too and I know what I did was wrong Sam..I'm sorry. I betrayed your trust and I realized I kept something from you that could've hurt Madison in the process. If you want to break up with me, I completely understand." She rambled out, feeling like her world was going to fall apart.

Sam looked at her as she talked. He could hear the sincerity in her voice. He forgave her that night. After his mother talked some sense into him, he didn't want to be without her, "I'm not going to break up with you Mercedes. I love you too much to do that. Yeah I was pissed but I shouldn't have treated you the way I did." He walked closer to her, "I love you Mercedes and I don't want to go another day without you. I have been miserable this last week without you."

"I messed up and I'm sorry." She whispered quietly.

"It's okay." He wrapped her in a hug. The feeling that he has been missing, was now complete with her in his arms, "I miss you so damn much. Madison even stopped talking to me."

Mercedes laughed softly. She pulled back and looked at him.

Sam leaned down and kissed the lips that he has been absent from for the last week. He wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her up a little.

Mercedes moved her mouth slowly against his as she hooked her arms around his neck. She missed his kisses and the small touches that he always gave. She just missed him.

Sam slid his tongue into her mouth, both of theirs fighting for dominance. He pulled back, tugging on her bottom lip gently, "I love you." He connected his forehead with hers.

"I love you too." She looked up at him with love shining through her eyes. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek and grabbed his hand, leading him back inside the building, where they walked and saw the nurse taking Carson to the nursery room for his check ups.

Sam stopped once Mercedes did. They stood in front of the window, gazing at the little boy, "He's adorable."

Mercedes sculpted her body into his side, "He is."

Sam placed his arm around her, pulling her closer. He bent down and kissed her forehead, "How about we come back later? Give Quinn some time to rest."

"Okay." Mercedes smiled as they walked outside. Sam offered to give her a ride, telling her that she could get her car when they came back.

Said all I want from you
Is to see you tomorrow
And every tomorrow
Maybe you'll let me borrow, your heart
And is it too much to ask for every Sunday?
An while we're at it throw in every other day to start

Sam blindly reached for the door as he kept his lips connected to Mercedes. They had decided to take a little break from the hospital and Sam had taken them back to his place. He finally got the door opened and he kicked it closed, pushing Mercedes up against it. He took his mouth and left trails of kisses from her nose all the way down to her neck.

I know people make promises all the time
Then they turn right around and break them
When someone cuts your heart open with a knife and you're bleeding

Mercedes wrapped one of her thick thighs around his waist, pulling him down by his neck to kiss him fully.

Sam gripped her hips tightly, lifting her as she wrapped herself around his waist. He walked backwards until they fell onto the couch. He shrugged off his jacket.

But I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won't stop until you believe it
'Cause baby you're worth it

Mercedes moaned when she felt his erection hitting her core. She pulled back to removed her jacket as well and tossed off her shirt off.

Sam stopped and looked at her breast in appreciation. They were pushed up in a red, lacy bra, "Damn."

Mercedes giggled at his expression, "Like what you see?"

"I do, I really do." He said memorized. He pulled her back down to him, moving his attention down to her chest. He kissed to the top of her covered breast.

"God..stop teasing." She said thought gritted teeth as she looked at him with lust in her eyes.

Sam smirked at her eagerness, locking his arms around her, he lifted off the couch and headed to his room. Once he got up the stairs, he kicked the crack door open with his foot and made his way into the room. He tossed her on the bed and removed his shirt before he pounced on her.

So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
Cause you might fuck around and find your dreams come true with me
Spend all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free

Mercedes let her hands roam down his back. She understood that Sam was trying to be patient and sweet with this but..she wanted him and she wanted him now. She let her hands traveled down to the button of his jeans, she undid them with her lips still attached to his.

Sam sat up a little pulling her with him as he removed his jeans with one hand. He tripped over hisself and fell backwards.

"Oh my god.." Mercedes leaned over the bed and looked at him, "Are you okay?" She tucked in her lips to suppress her laughter.

"It's not funny." He laughed as he stood up and took her back onto the bed. He helped her out of her jeans, disposing the content to the side. Sam smiled when he saw that her panties matched her bra. He kissed his way up her leg to her inner thigh. He moved her her panties to the side and inserted two of his fingers in her already hot, wet core.

Mercedes sighed when she felt him working his fingers into her. She was about to loose it. Feeling him pluck at her button, she moaned out loudly, tugging his hair in the process, "Dammit Sam." She called out as she felt herself come undone. She wasn't surprised that she cummed so quickly. Like Santana said, it has been over a decade.

Sam pulled out his fingers, sucking off the sweet essence on his fingers, "You taste so good." He bent down and gave her a kiss so that she could taste herself.

I know people make promises all the time
Then they turn right around and break them
Then someone cuts your heart open with a knife
Now you're bleeding
Don't you know that I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won't stop until you believe it
Cause baby you're worth it

Mercedes smiled as he kissed her again. She moved her hand to the tent in his boxers and began to rub against him softly.

Sam groaned at the sensitive touch. He bit down on the side of her neck while he moved her hand. Sliding down his boxers, he pulled her panties off with a smirk, "You ready?"

"Mhm." She hummed as she relaxed against the pillows. She was beyond ready.

Sam placed his hands on the sides of her, aligning himself with her entrance. He hissed when he finally entered her slowly. She was tight.

Mercedes felt her eyes roll to the back of her head. It had been so long since she had sex and she couldn't help but enjoy it. She felt her walls starting to clench around him. She started to move slowly, trying to keep the pace going.

Sam leaned his forehead down on hers as he pushed himself into her, "Fuck." He rolled his hips, thrusting upwards. He reach his hands behind her back and unsnapped her bra, releasing her big, beautiful mounds. He took her right nipple into his mouth, sucking and lapping on it hard. He swirled his tongue around the bud, as he pulled it was his teeth, earning a satisfactory moan from Mercedes. He repeated his actions to the other one, all while he was still thrusting inside of her.

So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
Cause you might fuck around and find your dreams come true with me
Spend all your time and your money just find out my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me

Mercedes was in pure heaven. Sam was hitting all of the right spots and he had her speaking in tongues. She felt a familiar sensation in the bottom of her stomach, "SAM!" She yelled out, feeling herself cream on his dick.

Sam wasn't too far behind her, letting his own blissful state fill her up. He placed her hands above her head, intertwining their fingers together as they rode their high out. Sam smiled at Mercedes disheveled state. She was so beautiful. He leaned down and kissed her pouty lips, "I love you."

Mercedes was still trying to regain her breath when she heard Sam speak. She looked at him with a small smile, "I love you too."

Sam pulled out of her and carefully laid his naked body on top if hers. They both drifted off into a peaceful slumber.

After the two took a shower and put on some fresh clothes, they headed to the school to pick up Madison. Sam asked Mercedes to stay in the back so that she could surprise her. He looked down at his daughter who still refused to hold his hand, "Are you still mad at me?"

Madison huffed and turned her nose up at him, folding her small arms across her chest.

"I'll take that as a yes." He said softly as they walked down the steps.

"Why want you let me see her?" She blurted out, "I love mama and you won't let me see her."

Sam felt guilty that he kept her away from Mercedes but he didn't want to make it more awkward between them. Sam thanked the heavens that they made up. He was about to speak but her adorable voice cut him off.

"Daddy you must've made mama mad." She frowned up at him for what felt like the hundredth time this week, "You made her mad daddy and now I'll never see her again." Her eyes went wide as a scowl began to take over her features, "This is your fault..you..you..meanie pants."

"Okay muffin..calm down." Sam said as he stopped when they reached the front of his truck, "Yes I made mama mad and I'm sorry."

Mercedes listened on with a small smile gracing her lips after hearing their whole conversation. Sam called her phone and left his on, holding it in his hand so she could hear them.

Madison felt her anger rising. She never has gotten mad at her dad but right now..he was making her very upset.

Sam couldn't lie. He kind of flinched when she scowled at him, "Now is a great time Merce..she's going to kill me." He distinctively whispered as he moved to phone over his mouth.

Mercedes giggled at him as she opened the door quietly. She walked in front of the truck and stood behind Madison.

"Do you want something to eat before we go see the baby?" He asked Madison.

"No." She squinted her eyes at him as she turned around. When she saw Mercedes she screamed and ran straight to her.

Mercedes laughed as she picked her up, "Hi baby." She attacked her face with kisses.

Madison smiled triumphantly as she wrapped her arms around her neck, "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too." Mercedes smiled at her.

"Mama, I'm sorry that daddy made you mad." She threw a quick glare Sam's way.

Sam was quite amused by Madison's actions.

Mercedes smiled gently, "Don't be mad at daddy..it wasn't his fault. I did something that made him upset."

Madison look between the two of them, "Are you going to break up?"

"No muffin..we're not. I love Mercedes and I would never break up with her." Sam said as he approached to two.

Madison looked a little apprehensive but she shrugged it off, "Good..because I love mama and I don't want her to leave us..like that woman did." Madison really didn't have a bond with Nicole and she really didn't care that she wasn't around.

Mercedes snorted when Madison referred to Nicole as 'that woman'. She loved this little girl like she was her own.

"Well baby..you don't have to worry about that woman because she's never going to hurt you again." Sam said reassuringly.

"Good." She smiled brightly. She leaned over and hugged Sam, "I love you."

"I love you too muffin." He kissed her cheek, then wrapped them all into a big hug.

Mercedes pulled back smiling. She looked at Sam over Madison's shoulder, "I love you." She whispered.

Sam leaned over and planted a big kiss on her lips, "Love you too." He smiled as he removed his arms, "Lets get out of here." He moved towards the car and opened the door for his girls. For the rest of the day, the trio spent time with The Puckermans and then went to dinner afterwards.

A/N. See? I told you it was going to be okay and I gave you guys some smut too. Do you love me again? Madison is a tough cookie but she's a carbon copy of her daddy. And no, you didn't read it wrong. She does in fact calls Mercedes her 'mama' and refers to Nicole as 'that woman', and before anyone asks, Maverick does know about the relatonship between Madcedes and how Madi calls Mercedes 'mama' & he's totally okay with it because he calls her his little sister anyways. :)
