Eight Months Later:
Little baby Ember was now eight months old and the shining star of both Sam and Mercedes's lives. However, she had her father wrapped around her finger even now at this young age. If she ever cried, Sam was the first person to go and rescue her before she could cry even more. His heart swelled when they were together, and on multiple occasions, Mercedes caught Sam watching cartoons in depth with her when he had no business watching the baby cartoons. He was such a girl dad that he had decided they didn't need a nanny anytime soon because Sam quitting his job. He knew the risks, and now that he had a baby girl to look after, he wanted to stop. Of course, Deion understood his concerns and offered Sam a job that consisted of him training new interns. Of course, he took it, and he was so happy that he did. Mercedes ended up selling Mercedes & Associates to Artie and Sugar (now titled Abrams & Associates). It wasn't a hard decision, and while she did enjoy helping clean up other people's messes, she enjoyed her peace of mind even more. So, after selling the place to Artie, she decided that she wanted to teach classes at the local university. Her class consisted of her helping lawyers, future fixers, and communication majors on how to solve scandals, and she loved it more than anything else. She was surprised that she did love it so much after all.
"Hi, mama's baby; oh, I missed you so much." Mercedes cooed at her toddler, who crawled to her as she walked through the front door. Mercedes bent down and picked her up as Sam stared at the interaction and smiled. He walked over to his wife and dropped a kiss on her lips as she threw her keys on the door side table.
"How was work?" Sam asked.
Mercedes sighed, "Good; we talked about having people in your corner when you need something that you can't do. More specifically, I had Santana come in and speak to the class. I asked Harris, but you know he is still settling in with Chondra in Nashville."
"I can't believe that he and Chondra moved to Nashville. Not much is there." Sam pointed out.
"Well, according to him, it is a sense of normalcy. Anyway, how was the baby today?" Mercedes questioned as they walked to their bedroom. And she placed Ember on the bed gently and started to strip out of her work clothes and into one of Sam's t-shirts.
"We played all day, she took a few naps, and she tried mangoes today. However, I think apples are still her favorite. I also do not have to go to work tonight, so we are all going to be together for the night." Sam explained as he ticked Ember's sides.
"That's good because I have missed spending my weeknights with my husband." Mercedes pouted as she got on the bed and gave Sam a kiss.
"I missed you too. Also, I was thinking Chinese tonight."
"I am more than happy with that."
After putting Ember in her room, Mercedes had gotten in the bed and started to cuddle with Sam as he flicked through television shows.
"The first time we met was in a hotel, and you were trying to kill one of my clients, weren't you?" Mercedes questioned.
Sam chuckled, "Yeah, and who would have thought that would turn into me stalking you, then falling in love with you, then marrying you, then traveling the world with you, and then knocking you up? That is going to be a wonderful story to tell Ember." Mercedes turned and looked at her husband before straddling him.
"Yeah, about that. Sam, I want another baby. I know the whole pre-eclampsia moment scared us, but baby I want another kid." Mercedes said.
Sam looked at his wife as he wrapped his arms around her, "Baby are you sure I just don't want you to have to go through that entire ordeal again, I am just happy with Ember if that is all I can have."
"Baby, you are an amazing husband and father. the love you have for Ember grows each day and I don't even know how that is possible. Everyday you shower the both of us with so much love that it only reaffirms my decision. I want at least one more kid with you, and for us to have a perfect family. A perfect family for us in my mind is to have another baby, so what do you say?" Sam flipped them over causing Mercedes to laugh.
"Whatever my baby wants, she gets." Sam said with one of his charming goofy smiles.
"I love you so much.' Mercedes whispered.
"I love you so so much more." Sam whispered back as he crashed his lips onto hers.
