The Agreement

"Alright Cedie, we have everything here right?" Dwight asked her as she looked through all of their bags.

"Mhm, moma Mary even packed us some sandwiches for the ride, hopefully the rain holds, I don't wanna get caught in it." She replied, smiling at him.

As angry as she was at Sam, she would never pass up time spending with Dwight and since it was just going to be the two of them, she figured it would give her time to unwind and keep her mind off of him.

"Well, let's get on the road! I know how much you like controlling the radio while other people drive." He joked, making her laugh.

"I'm an excellent travel companion!" Mercedes said, helping him load everything into his truck. "Besides, I can't trust you pick good music."

Dwight shook his head smiling. "Well as long as I get to hear you sing, I think I'll allow it."

The drive down to the cabin was easy, Mary called a few times to make sure they were making good on time and Dwight only stopped once to cover the things on the bed of the truck, since it looked like they weren't going to miss the rain.

"I hope the rain doesn't stay the whole weekend." Mercedes said, looking out the window as the rain started to pour down.

"We can always fish in the rain." He replied looking over at her smirking.

Mercedes looked at him like he was crazy. "I love you and I love fishing but my hair!" She said laughing before a frown crossed her face as they reached the entrance to the cabin.

Dwight knew he was gonna get an ear full about this but he wanted to trust the process. "Well, I'll be…" He murmured.

"What in the hell is he doing here? I thought this was a trip for the two of us…"

Dwight put the truck in park and sighed. "Well he ain't standing in the rain for me, so if you want to know you're gonna have to get your hair wet."

Mercedes grunted, angrily getting out of the truck. "You can't just force me to talk to you! I wanted to have a peaceful trip with Dwight." She shouted at him.

Sam was just standing there not saying anything because he knew she needed to get everything out but him not saying anything was going to make her even more angry. He knew this plan was all or nothing and he wanted so badly to run over to her but she had to come to him.

Mercedes inched closer, growing even more angry at him just looking at her with the look on his face. "Also, you standing there in that stupid suit and your stupid face isn't going to change that I am very upset with you! You made me feel like I was cheap and acted like a complete asshole after I TOLD YOU I LOVED YOU! Yeah, I know it was during sex but I meant it!"

Dwight shook his head "Didn't need to hear that." He said to himself.

Mercedes moved closer, wiping the rain away from her eyes. "You made me fall in love with you and then just snatched it away! You ruined everything and all because you were jealous of something that happened YEARS ago!"

Mercedes took another step closer and Sam took his chance, grabbing her and pulling her close before kissing her deeply. "I could say sorry a million times but it'll never fix what I did." He said finally.

"Sam just let me go, you made it clear that you don't love me in the same way." She replied, trying to push him away but he wouldn't let her.

Sam lifted her chin so he could look into her eyes. "You bout done? Because I would like to say something now."

Mercedes shook her head, blinking away the tears as she looked back at him. "What?"

"You have been my best friend for as long as I can remember. Been my person, the only person who knows me inside and out. I was an idiot, a jackass, someone who doesn't deserve another chance but I pray you give me one. Because I can not imagine my life without you." He moved her hair out of her face. "When you said you loved me, I was shocked, not because you loved me but because I hadn't admitted that what I was feeling was love."

She turned away from him but Sam turned her face to his. "Things started to change for us once we started this arrangement. Slowly you became more than just my best friend, you became the person I want to spend the rest of my life with."

"Sam you say that now but when it mattered you hurt me." She said softly.

Sam nodded. "I did, and it's the biggest regret of my life because I would rather die than hurt you."

"How can you know now, but not then? How can you say all these things like I am just supposed to shut up and take you back, like I am supposed to forget."

"I don't want you to forget, I want you to forgive me. I know I won't forget, I'll always remember this feeling, and know that I never want to make you feel this way again." He ran his hand over the ring on her finger. "Mercedes you are it for me, I knew it the moment that ring went on your finger and fit you perfectly…that being said I need you to take it off."

She looked at her finger. "What?"

"Just humor me, please?" He asked.

She pulled the ring off and Sam got down to one knee. "Mercedes the first time I gave this to you, though the reason was fake, the sentiment, the feelings, they were real. I love you, I want you, I need you in my life. Please do me the honor of being my wife."

Mercedes looked at him completely shocked before hitting him. "You think because you made this big thing that I'm just what? Supposed to fall to my knees and say yes?" She asked and Sam felt what hope he had slipping away.

"I…"

She hit him again. "You will never treat me like that again and you will apologize to Puck for having to tell Quinn because she pissed!" She said with a small smile forming.

"Are… are you saying yes?" He asked.

"Put the damn ring back on my finger!" She demanded, he didn't hesitate before slipping the ring back on her finger and pulling her down, kissing her deeply.

Dwight shook his head. "About damn time." He said smiling. "Alright, I think I'm going to give them some alone time." He said to his phone where he had Mary and Mercedes' parents on facetime.

"Finally! I wonder how long it'll take for us to get some grandkids?" Miranda, Mercedes' mother asked.

Mary squealed. "We deserve at least three!"

Derek, Mercedes' father shook his head, grabbing the phone from the two women. "They just got engaged! See you when you get back." He said to Dwight before hanging up.

Mercedes placed her hand over the phone and closed her laptop and placed it on the bedside table as Sam walked in with a carton of Cookies and Cream Ice Cream.

"You do realize I had to go to three stores for this, so you are sharing." Sam said, pulling out two spoons as he hopped on the bed.

"Mom I gotta go Sam is here."

"Tell Sam I said hi! And I am still mad at him!" Miranada teased.

"Momma, we eloped six months ago, how can you still be mad? We are letting you and Mom throw us a reception, isn't that punishment enough." She laughed.

"Little girl, your father and I were looking forward to your wedding, but we get that it just wasn't you and Sam. So I am teasing…mostly."

Sam opened the carton and Mercedes took a spoon. "Well I need to spend some time with my husband, I will see you tomorrow."

"Love you." Miranda sang.

"LOVE YOU!" Sam and Mercedes both said mouths full of ice cream.

Mercedes tossed her phone aside and grabbed the carton. "Come to momma! I have been craving ice cream all week!"

Sam laughed watching her. "You've been doing that a lot this month."

"Doing what?" She said feeding him a spoonful.

"Mmm." He swallowed. "Craving things. Ice cream. Cheeseburger with onion rings and pickles."

She eyed him. "So?"

"You hate pickles Mercedes."

Mercedes shrugged. "What are you getting at Evans? Spit it out?"

"I am just wondering if there is something you wanna tell me?"

Mercedes smiled. "Well, if you must know, Quinn is pregnant again, she and Puck are excited, and then I finally decided to quit because I really do want to work for myself. I am about four weeks late so I am pretty sure I am pregnant, which means Quinn and I will be pregnant together. Oh and Unique and I found this shoe store downtown that is new, so you are gonna have to expand my closet."

"I swear Unique is such a bad influence on you, how can you possibly need all of those shoes? You only have two feet?"

Mercedes shrugged, taking another spoonful of ice cream. "How can you possibly need all of those games? You only have two hands?"

Sam nodded. "Touche, you win that battle."

"I always do." She teased.

Sam took her spoon, wanting her ice cream and his own spoon forgotten. "I also think going to work for yourself is best, we just need to find an office space for you."

She reached for her spoon but he moved it out of reach, pulling her to sit on his lap. She sighed. "I agree."

Sam fed her some ice cream. "Now onto this pregnancy." He tilted her chin towards him and smiled. "It's a sure thing? You took the test?"

She nodded. "Took it this afternoon…"

He kissed her, pulling her close to him. "God I love you so much."

"Of course you do, now give me back my ice cream. I'm eating for two!" She said smiling as he laughed.

"This is going to be a wild ride.." He replied, handing her the ice cream and thanking God she said yes to him.

Happy ending for these two! Yay!
