Vegas

Pt.8

Mercedes had watched Sam walk out the door and frowned at the way he had acted, yes, she knew that having sex with him might not have been the wises thing to do, but she thought they at least had a moment, one where maybe they could build off of. But it seemed Sam regretted her, regretted having sex. She pushed her food away and moved to grab her clothes.

Getting dressed, she slipped into her shoes and headed towards the door, she wouldn't make things awkward she would just go.

Sam hung up the phone with Blaine and almost bumped into Mercedes as she headed out the door. "Merce? Where are you going? Thought we were hiding out here till the storm with our parents passed?"

"I uh…I should go. I don't..I should just go Sam."

Sam shook his head. "No, I… why?"

She looked up to him with unshed tears and then looked away shaking her head. She ran, it's what she did but she was about to be a mother and her relationship with Sam had to get past this, they needed to be friends for the kids, and she needed to just face whatever wrath he had.

"Fine, you want to do this now Sam, then let's do it." She tossed her purse back on the counter and placed a hand on her stomach as the other braced the counter. "We crossed a line again, and I was foolish enough to think that this time it would be different. I just…" She closed her eyes. "Sam I wanted you so bad, and not just sexually. But I mean that was…oh boy that was.." She swallowed, she really needed to calm down.

Sam looked at her amused. "Mercedes, we didn't cross any lines… I feel like we really need to talk about whatever this is." He said.

Mercedes grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge only half hearing what Sam had said. "Sam, I just wanted you so bad. At that moment I wasn't thinking…It was like our first time all over again because this time I got to remember every detail. But I get it, you moved on, started dating, and having sex with your ex wife isn't a way to start your future." She shook her head taking a sip from the bottle.

Sam covered his mouth, trying not to snicker. "I-"

"I know what you are going to say! You said it all at the cabin, I betrayed you and I was too late. You don't love me anymore, don't want me and all you want is to provide a stable friendship for the triplets. And Sam I wish I could agree and say, yes let's do that, but it's going to be hard as hell because I am so madly in love with you. I can't just shut that off no matter how bad you want me too."

Sam rolled his eyes before wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her close. "Will you shut up and let me tell you that I love you too and I want to be with you. As my wife, with our kids and in this house." He said, smiling at her.

When Sam pulled her to him, she froze, unsure what was going to happen. But his words caused tears to fall from her eyes. "Yo-you do?"

"Yes, I never stopped loving you. It was just hard to be near you knowing that you didn't want to be with me. I never moved on Mercedes, I just needed time to figure out how to be around you and not feel hurt. I know we were drunk that night in Vegas but when we found out, I was so damn happy it was you. Who wouldn't want to be married to their bestfriend?"

"Sam…" She stopped trying to find the right words. "This was never about me not loving you, because I loved you then, I love you now and I always will. I was just scared. Scared of you waking up one day and realizing that you didn't want me, and then I would have lost you, so I pushed you away from us being married so I wouldn't lose you, but ended up losing you anyways. Sam these last months of not talking to you, not knowing your life, it's killed me." She stood on her tippy toes kissing him softly. "I am still scared, I mean we have three babies coming and everything but I would rather be scared with you by my side, then alone and okay."

"Well it's about damn time." He said leaning down and kissing her deeply. "I'm not letting you get away again."

Mercedes held him close, kissing him back. "I love you, I love you so much Sam…marry me again, for keeps this time."

"For keeps." He repeated smiling, right when they heard clapping. 'What the hell?"

Mercedes stilled, turning and seeing both her and Sam's parents. "Ummm what are you doing here? And how did you get into our house?"

Each of their parents smiled. "Witnessing what we've known for years… our babies finally admitting they love each other." Mary replied, placing her hands over her heart. "You two have given us more gray hair than necessary."

"Amen to that because I was going to have Preston lock you two in here from the outside until you made up." Diane said, shaking her head. "Also what the hell is this?" She asked, holding up her phone with the message from them.

Mercedes pointed to Sam. "That was all him, I am innocent!"

"Hey! Traitor! Didn't we just say we were in this for keeps. That means you gotta take my side."

"I told you I was throwing you under the bus!" Mercedes laughed.

Sam pulled her close to him. "Oh I got something for you."

"Ahem! Can you two stop being all inappropriate in front of us and tell us why you sent us a text talking about triplets and moving?"

Mercedes leaned into Sam and smiled. "Well one of those things is simply untrue."

"And the other is 1000 percent true." Sam chimed in, smiling at his parents.

Preston shook his head. "If you are trying to tell me that you are raising our grandbaby away from us, I will have your head Evans."

Sam frowned. "Hey!"

"No Hey! We will help him son!" Dwight chimed in.

Both mothers looked at Mercedes and gasped squealing.

"OH!" Diane squealed.

"MY!" Mary jumped.

"GOD!" They said together running over to Mercedes.

"You are having triplets!" Mary cried, pulling her from Sam and holding her along with Diane.

"My baby."

Mercedes smiled, feeling tears forming. "It's scary but we're excited… right?" She said looking at Sam.

He nodded. "Very and looks like you two get to plan a wedding and a baby shower." He replied.

Diane waved him off. "Child, that wedding is done. We never stopped planning, just cause you two couldn't get it together then it didn't mean a wedding wasn't gonna happen."

Preston clapped him on the back. "At least now I don't need to get my shotgun."

Mary looped her arm in with Diane's and Mercedes'. "We need to go look at the nursery and pick out the color scheme and we need to figure out the rest of this house because it is bare!"

"Ma- '' Sam started before she waved him off and led the other women upstairs.

Dwight chuckled, looking at Preston. "Guess we should get some food going…" He said and Preston nodded. "Sam you got any real food in that fridge?"

Sam nodded. "I stocked up just in case she wanted to stay here…"

"Well, while they do whatever it is they're doing we three can finally have this long awaited talk." Preston said.

Sam looked over to the older men. "Talk?"

Preston nodded. "You are marrying my little girl, about to be a father to her children. This isn't me telling you it's okay to kick some loser's ass who hurts her. Sam, this is you committing to a life with them.``

"We just want to prepare you son, that's all."

"How exactly do I prepare to have three kids?" Sam joked

Preston let out a heavy breath. "That's a tough one… we had ours one at a time, I think God's humoring the two of you."

Dwight snorted. "Or punishing them for taking so damn long."

Sam looked up to the stairs. "At least we have you guys, and each other." he looked back over to his father and his future in law. "Mercedes is going to be such an amazing mother."

Preston smiled. "She most definitely will and she will be an even better partner… once she gets over that stubbornness. She gets that from her mother by the way."

"I mean the woman had me believing she didn't love me, don't think she will ever truly not be stubborn." Sam laughed.

Dwight shook his head. "Any fool with two eyes could've seen that was a lie. You two have been dancing around each other since you met."

Sam shook his head. 'Well we clearly didn't." He quipped.

"I don't know if I entirely believe that and I don't think you do either." Preston said right as the women came back into the room.

"So we're going out for a while, you guys can make us some lunch and we're going to start picking out furniture for this place so we'll be back in about two hours. That should be more than enough time to get a feast ready!" Mary said, smiling.

"Yes and please do something about that back yard, we're gonna need somewhere to eat." Diane instructed before she and Mary tugged Mercedes out of the room and house.

"What just happened?" Sam asked and the other men laughed.

"Your new normal." They said in unison, right as Mercedes reappeared. She walked over to Sam with a smile.

"I thought you were leaving?" He asked.

"We are but I wanted to do this before they kidnapped me again." She answered before standing on her tippy toes and kissing him. "I'll see you later, oh and daddy, mommy said to have some sort of treats ready. Bye!"

Preston shook his head. "She's been using that girl to get treats out of me for years… don't fall for it Sam. she's gonna get you next." He joked.

Sam smiled. "I think I'm okay with that… I guess we should get started, I can get the grill going."

Dwight nodded. "I get the meat prepped."

"Guess I'll make a store run for everything else and try to find a patio set that will fit on my truck." Preston said, grabbing his keys.

Mercedes tossed another dress onto her bed groaning. She was supposed to be dressed for her baby shower but being pregnant with three babies made her feel like she was as big as a house. Nothing fit, nothing made her feel beautiful and she wanted to cry.

Sam walked in watching as she screamed and fell onto the bed in tears. "Um baby?"

Mercedes looked over to him and broke down crying as Sam rushed over to her.

"Merce? Baby what's wrong? Did you watch that commercial again?"

Mercedes let out a sob. "Oh great now I'm thinking about that now too!"

Sam hugged her closely and kissed her forehead. "Whats going on baby? Today we find out if we are having three boys like I am predicting." He teased.

She hiccuped. "I have nothing to wear and everyone else is going to look so pretty and I'm going to look like a house!" She complained. "I just want to look and feel sexy again but I feel like a whale."

"Baby…you are beautiful, sexy and if we weren't going to be late for our own baby shower I would spend the next hour showing you just how sexy you are. You are pregnant with triplets Mercedes, giving life to our children. And I can't thank you enough, I know I couldn't do it. No matter what you wear today, you will be the star of the show, so lets get you cleaned up." He said reaching for some tissues, wiping her tears. "I love you baby."

Mercedes looked at him before crying even harder. "You did this to me! I can even see my feet! I just want to wear a pretty dress and eat cupcakes! I love you too."

Sam nodded letting her vent as he sent a 911 text to his mom. "Mercedes, is there anything I can do?"

She sniffled. "I wouldn't be opposed to a nap and you getting fat."

Sam chuckled. "I mean something I could do at this moment."

"Find me a magical dress that doesn't make me look horrible." She quipped and Sam nodded before getting up and walking into their walk in closet to the back. He knew she wasn't feeling particularly sexy in her skin so he had his mom and her help him find something nice for her to wear today.

After he grabbed the garment bag, he walked back into their room smiling. "Maybe you can wear this?" He asked.

Mercedes sat up, wiping her eyes. "What… what is that?"

He opened the bag revealing a pink, long sleeve dress that flared off at the bottom. "I know you're team girl so I made sure to get it in pink." He answered smiling.

Mercedes chewed her bottom lip and let more tears fall. "Sam, it's beautiful!."

Sam beamed. "Good! Think you want to wear it? So we can go down to our babies party?"

"Yeah let me get dressed then we can go down and learn we are having girls."

He chuckled. "You mean boys." He teased. "I'm going to slip my shoes on."

"Sam, wait." She walked over to him, linking her fingers with his. "I love you, I know this is a party for us and all but I just wanted one more moment before we learned what we were having and all of it became really real."

Sam smiled, leaning down and kissing her softly. "I love you too baby. More than I ever thought possible. And I can not wait to find out what we are having, because I am ready for all of this."

She sniffed and nodded. "I needed to hear that."

"Well I will tell you as many times as you need to hear it. I love you." He wiped the tears from her eyes and kissed her softly, deepening it as he pulled her closer.

"Sam…" She breathed as his hands moved down her body.

"I think I need to help you get dressed." He murmured, kissing her neck.

Mercedes giggled, shaking her head. "If you do, we won't make it down there for our party."

Sam shrugged. "I don't care." He said taking his lips with hers and sitting her on the bed as he pulled her shirt off and leaned back up nipping at her lips.

Mercedes shuttered as he laid her back, pulling her capri's off, running his hands over her stomach, kissing it and laying his head against it.

"You are still so beautiful."

Mercedes was about to speak but Sam got kicked in the face and she laughed. "Seems like your son or daughter knows you are here too."

Sam smiled. "They always do know when I am near." He said, tugging his own shirt off as he stood up.

"Sam, do we really have time for this?" She whimpered as his hands found their way onto her breast.

He maneuvered around her and kissed her neck as he pinched her hardening buds. "I really don't care, it's our party, they can wait."

He laid her on her side lifting her leg over his as he gently pushed himself inside of her and she hissed, turning her head and kissing him hungrily.

"Everything about you is beautiful, Mercedes. Your body, your mind, everything, I can't get enough of you." He said hoarsely as his thrusts quickened.

Sam's fingers moved around to her clit, wanting to push her over the edge before he came hard. Sam's lips moved to her ear, whispering softly. "Cum for me baby, cum all over me ."

Mercedes shivered at his words as she came hard, screaming out his name, feeling that same familiar feeling that filled her with so much love for him.

Sam followed suit moaning as he followed her, holding her tight as he came down. He snuggled closer to her. "Let's just stay here for the rest of our lives."

"Tempting, really tempting but I still want my cupcake Sam."

He laughed, kissing her temple. "Okay, we'll get your cupcake then come back here."

"Deal."

Next part will be the last!
