Finale
"Sam!" Mercedes shouted again.
"Yeah?"
"I can't… I can't find it! Where did you last see it?" She replied before hearing Sam groan as he juggled two screaming toddlers.
"I think he dropped it near the bed…" Sam replied trying to get their sons to calm down but because one was crying the other had to join in.
Mercedes kneeled down before spotting it and let out a triumphant laugh. "I found it!" She said running down stairs, stopping in the kitchen to rinse off the pacifier ironically labeled brat. She walked into their living room wincing when she heard the shrilling cry before quickly putting it into his mouth and sighing.
"You just had to put twins in me." She teased picking up their now quiet son and sitting down next to Sam who was happily playing with their other son.
After that night three years ago a lot happened. They got married in a private ceremony before going away to Monaco for three months. If either of them were honest, they would tell you they didn't even remotely know what was there or what existed outside the four walls of their hotel suite. They did manage to see a few things but that time was spent getting to know each other as husband and wife before Sam dropped the bomb and told her he wanted at least seven kids. Two of which were currently here and another one was baking. Their twins would've been a surprise but Sam made it very clear that after six months they would be trying.
And Mercedes made it clear that she wanted to wait for at least a year. The one and half year old twins on her lap and the 6 month growing fetus proved who won that battle.
Mercedes checked her phone and smiled. "It's almost time for the baby shower. Not gonna lie pretty excited to find out what we are having. I for one want a daughter."
"Mercedes after this we have four more tries to get you a girl if it's another boy." Sam teased.
"You are not budging on that number are you?"
Sam smiled, leaning into her and giving her a soft kiss. "Nope!"
Mercedes rolled her eyes and stood shifting Elliott on her hip. "I am going to finish packing the diaper bags, and slip into my dress."
Sam nodded. "Okay, we will just be down here, waiting."
About two hours later, Mercedes and Sam were sitting in front of their friends and family as they waited for everyone else to arrive. Sebastian walked over to them, snatching David from Sam's arms.
"Dude that's my son you do realize that right?" Sam said before Blaine came and took Elliott.
"Oh no, we decided that since Sam is gonna keep impregnating you and you are gonna keep letting him, we all get a piece of the baby action. So Davie and Elliot are ours, and whoever is in that belly is Santana's; she called dibs after us."
Mercedes rolled her eyes, it was at her wedding did Sebastian and Blaine finally admit they were both in love with each other. And decided to make it official six months later.
"It's time!" Mary sang and she came out of the house and handed Sam and Mercedes two confetti cannons. "Everyone, gather around its time! I get to find out what my next grandbaby is!"
They both smiled, excited to find out what they were having. Mercedes was secretly hoping it was a girl so that could stop there but she knew how determined Sam was and knew she would wound up pregnant again.
"Okay ready?" Sam asked and everyone cheered before counting down from three.
"THREE, TWO, ONE!" Sam and Mercedes both twisted the bottom of their cannons and bright blue confetti flew out as Sam jumped up and down before hugging Mercedes who was equally happy.
"IT'S ANOTHER BOY!" Mary shouted and hugged Mercedes.
"I'm super outnumbered now." She joked.
Sam smiled. "Not for long, we'll have twin girls next." He said and Mercedes shook her head hitting him.
"Let's just have this one first and we can think about that later… much later."
"It's okay because I wanted this one to be a boy and now it is! Me and Brit are gonna love him so much!" Santana said, hugging them both and Mercedes shook her head.
"You guys are not taking our kids!" She said and their friends just looked at her like she grew another head.
"You're just a carrier, these are our kids and it's time you accept it." Sebastian said, making everyone laugh.
"Now you see why I said we need so many…" Sam muttered.
"We wouldn't need so many if our friends understood boundaries." She replied and he smiled before pulling her into a deep kiss.
"You're forgetting our parents, they're being generous with letting our friends have dibs." He said and she could help but laugh because it was true, they hadn't even caused a fuss over their kids yet.
"It's probably because you keep telling them we're having seven." She teased and Sam shrugged.
"We're like halfway there so it's happening."
"Alright Mercedes we need you to push!" Doctor Carter said to her and Mercedes just shook her head no. "I need drugs! Something to numb this damn pain!"
"Mercedes you are already ten centimeters dilated. This baby is on her way, you need to push."
Sam took her hand. "You can do this baby, it's just like with the other three. Just push baby."
She cut her eyes at Sam. "You did this!" She gripped his hand tighter. "Fix it!"
Sam looked at her then the doctor. "Yeah she's gonna take some drugs please."
Doctor Carter took a breath and looked up to Mercedes. "This little girl is ready to meet her brothers, so let's push Mercedes."
Mercedes pushed screaming out as she gripped Sam's hand harder. They were at the park having a picnic with the kids when her water broke. All her others came right on time, she would spend hours in the hospital then they would come right out. But this one was as stubborn as her mother.
She was due in a month but decided to come out now, by the time they got her to the hospital she was practically waving at everyone.
"Sam I am done, do you hear me! This is it! I am not having any more!"
Sam was going to reply but Mercedes screamed again as she pushed the shoulders out.
"One more push Mercedes, that's all you need." Doctor Carter encouraged.
Mercedes stared at her. "Get this baby out of me and tie up my tubes! Tie em up, get rid of my uterus, do whatever you have too!" She said pushing one last time.
Sam looked over to his daughter as she started to cry and bent down to kiss Mercedes. "I love you, I love you so much, you did so good."
Mercedes let out a breath, crying because she was happy it was over but more happy that she was finally able to meet the little busy body that had been dancing around in her stomach.
Sam's eyes welled up when saw how happy Mercedes was to finally have a little girl. "We have a little you now." He said when the nurse brought her over to them. "She's beautiful, just like you."
Mercedes looked at their daughter smiling. "She is huh?"
Sam kissed Mercedes forehead. "Are you really done? Don't wanna go for the Fabulous Seven Evans?"
Mercedes chewed her bottom lip looking down at their newborn and shrugged. "I dunno, we'll see, I might want another daughter."
Several Years and Kids later…
"Hey! Come set the table!" Mercedes shouted as their youngest, Gabe assisted in making dinner. She waited a few moments before hearing the familiar sound of their kids running down the stairs, laughing.
"Mommy, do we have to eat this?" Gabe, their six year old asked and she sighed.
"I thought you liked this? You picked it out, remember?"
"I was kinda hoping you would say no and we could eat pizza." He answered honestly and she shot him a look before shaking her head.
"Why didn't you just ask for pizza then baby?"
"Well… David said that you would say no and Kalli said I needed to say I wanted all this so you would say no, that's too much for a Monday and then we would ask dad for pizza…"
Mercedes facepalmed herself before letting out a short laugh. "So, your brother and sister put you up to this and expected me to say no to cooking and then you'd ask your father for pizza?" She asked and Gabe nodded smiling.
"Mhm! Daddy always gets us pizza when you work late." He informed.
"Do me a favor and go get your daddy." She said and he ran off to do just that while Mercedes plotted ways to kill Sam that wouldn't lead to her.
Sam walked in the room leaning in and kissing Mercedes on the cheek. "Guess what?"
"I am sure you are gonna tell me anyway." She said, turning towards him with a smile.
"My newest Novel has reached number one on the best sellers list. We are talking millions of copies sold, they want me to go on a book tour and I was thinking." He pulled Mercedes closer to him. "We can leave the kids with their Aunts and Uncles and have a fourth honeymoon."
Mercedes shook her head with a smile. "A Honeymoon where you work and I do what?"
"Sleep in…get a massage…lie down and not have to cook the kids dinner."
"Mmmm talk dirty to me Mr. Evans, you know you had me at sleeping in."
"I already talked to Bas, San and my mom. All 8 kids are accounted for and you and I get some alone time." He said nuzzling her neck.
"Alone time? What's that?" She teased.
Sam pulled her close. "Let me show you." He said, kissing her hungrily as David and Elliot walked into the kitchen.
"Ewww! Get a room!" They said in unison.
"God, mom, that's gross!" Kalli chimed in, shaking her head.
"I mean seriously don't you two have enough kids! You're practically about to make another one!" Regan said fake gagging.
"Hey, Why am I getting blamed? He kissed me!" Mercedes defended and their daughters just gave her a look.
"Come on mom, we know you have more power than that." Kalli said and Sam snickered.
"She's right ma, you kinda run the house." Jacob said and Mercedes sighed.
"Eight." She said looking at Sam. "You said we were only going to have seven and you gave me eight and this is how they treat me."
Sam chuckled. "Guys, leave your mom alone. Go wash up for dinner."
"Speaking of dinner. I was informed that instead of cooking those "healthy and tasty meals" I asked you too, you get them pizza when I work late."
Sam let out a nervous laugh before shaking his head. "Who… who told you that?" He asked as their kids all piled out of the room. "Traders!" He shouted, hearing them all laughing.
"They all got you wrapped right about their fingers don't they?" She laughed, shaking her head.
"Eh, don't act like Jacob isn't your favorite. I got the call that you checked him out of school and I also saw the purchases you made afterwards. How do you go to a school that has four of your kids and only get one of them?" Sam countered.
"That was a special circumstance, and I am just good like that." She shrugged with a smile taking the plates to the table.
"Mhm." He said admiring her ass. "Yes you are."
The kids filed into the room and Mercedes eyed them. "Did you all wash your hands? I am looking at you Gabe."
Gabe blushed before running back to the bathroom to really wash his hands this time. "Sorry mommy." He said when he returned showing her his very wet hands. Mercedes smiled before grabbing some paper towel and handing it to him so he could dry his hands.
"So we're really not having pizza?" Regan asked and Mercedes shot her a look.
"No! I spent all day cooking this food and you are ALL going to like it!"
"Yeah, but you only cook like this when it's a special occasion… it's just Monday." David said.
"Well today is officially National Evans Kids Eat what the hell their mother cooked day. Happy?" She countered and their kids snickered before taking their seats.
Sam looked over to Mercedes, taking her hand and kissing it. "You know." He sighed looking around the table. "While we were going through all that drama all I kept thinking was, 'Why Don't You Kiss Her', and everything would just work out. It might have taken us a while to get here. But I am so glad we did."
Mercedes smiled. "Me too, the journey was hard and long but the destination is exactly where I wanted to be. Where I will always want to be."
"Oh great they're being sappy again." Kalli said, passing the mashed potatoes to Elliot who nodded.
"I swear they do it to torture us. We get it already, you still have the hots for each other… it's gross!"
Mercedes shook her head as she sat down. "This is why only one of you is my favorite." She teased with a laugh.
"It's me obviously." Megan said and her siblings all shook their heads before they all began saying it was them.
"Does no one want to be my favorite?" Sam asked and their kids all stopped talking and stared at him.
"You literally tell us we're all your favorite, you're… too open. Mom makes us guess." Kalli replied. Sam gasped pretending to be hurt.
"Well I do have a favorite above all." He said, shrugging, helping Gabe fix his plate.
They all rolled their eyes before turning their attention back to their mother who was remaining close mouthed about who her favorite was.
"So you guys are going to be staying with your aunts, uncles and grandparents for a few weeks…" Sam said after everyone got settled.
"Dibs on going to aunt San!" Megan said.
"Me too!" Jacob said.
"Wait, there's not dibs!" Sam said.
"I want to go to Uncle Bas' house!" Gabe said excitedly and both parents shook their heads.
"No, he gives you candy for smiling besides, you're going to be on a schedule." Sam said and Mercedes shot him a look.
"They are?" She asked and he smirked.
"You didn't think I would suggest the fourth honeymoon before planning everything out first, right?' He asked and all of the kids groaned.
"Nope! If you have another honeymoon that means we're getting another sibling and I'm putting my foot down, dad. We don't want another one!" Brendan said and Mercedes burst out laughing because he usually was the quiet one in the bunch.
"It's not an actual honeymoon guys, I'm going on a book tour and I want mom to come along so she get some alone time." Sam explained.
"Like when y'all have us go to aunt San's or Bas' every other saturday?" Regan asked and Sam blushed.
"No, like I would be with him during some of his book tour so he wouldn't be alone." Mercedes answered.
Elliott looked over to Sam and Mercedes then to his siblings. "As the oldest."
"By like FOUR minutes dude. Not that serious." Dave said.
Elliott rolled his eyes. "As the oldest it's my job to tell you that while I love my siblings. We are good. We would NOT want anymore."
"Guys, we're not having any more kids and it's totally okay for me and your mother to take some alone time away without you worrying about that, right babe?" Sam said looking at his kids then to Mercedes who found her food very interesting at that moment. Sam raised an eyebrow. "Merce?"
Mercedes looked at Sam and the kids and smiled. "I guess I shouldn't tell you guys that I am pregnant then."
Nine mouths dropped before all started talking at the same time.
"OH MY GOD IT NEVER ENDS!" Brendan shouted.
"Graduation can't come fast enough!" Elliott shook his head.
Kalli laid her head on the table. "I'm cursed with endless siblings." She muttered dramatically.
"So, mommy's having a baby?" Gabe asked innocently.
Jacob smiled. "Mom that's awesome…just don't make it another girl."
Mercedes smiled, happy in her decision to make him her favorite. "Thank you baby and I can't really control that or how many it is…" She replied and more groans were heard. She looked at Sam who hadn't said anything and saw him smiling.
"So we need a bigger house then?" He asked and she sighed.
"That or get rid of two of them."
"I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!" Brendan shouted and Mercedes laughed.
"And here I thought you'd be my favorite one day but turns out you're just like your aunt Santana." She quipped.
Brendan shrugged. "She told me you only carried me and that I was really her kid."
"Wait, why would Brendan be your favorite?' Elliot asked and everyone stopped griping to look at her.
Mercedes looked at Sam and he smiled before shrugging, they had their hands full but both seemed to realize that at that very moment, none of this would be possible if they hadn't finally admitted their love for each other.
They had A LOT OF KIDS lol
