Well, obviously, I was listening to too much Hot Chelle Rae one night and started thinking about Mercedes on tour and how that would go if she had to leave her boys behind…and this happened. Please read…and review or message me! :)

Excerpt:

“Mercy, we need you in five.”

“Thanks, Nikki,” Mercedes said quietly, giving her assistant a short nod in acknowledgment, and then shifting her apologetic gaze back to the screen where she’d been Skyping with Sam and Cameron. She’d planned to set aside at least an hour to speak to them, but her tight schedule had derailed that plan from the start. The projected hour had been cut to a rushed ten minutes right before her show.

“Baby,” Mercedes began, already wincing at the disappointed quirk of Sam’s lips. “I’m sorry,” she finished weakly.

The frustrated resignation in his green eyes pierced her heart and she swallowed thickly at the sight of them. Their one-year old went on babbling from his place in Sam’s lap, playing with his stuffed Captain America doll, oblivious to the tense mood between his parents.

“Just have a good show,” Sam muttered, barely holding back a roll of his eyes. He mustered up a tight smile for her, but Mercedes had been with him long enough to know it wasn’t genuine. She sighed and looked away from the screen, where Sam had turned his attention from her to Cameron.

All the previous times she’d been on tour, Sam had always had the flexibility in his schedule to join her. Even with her frequent shows and the work he brought along, those months they spent traveling from stop to stop were a bit like an extended vacation to them. The only thing that mattered was that they got to be together. No matter the adventure each new stop provided—and there were many—they had experienced it as one.

Although Mercedes had long ago upgraded from the rickety vans at the start of her career to a pretty swanky tour bus after her first record exploded, she hadn’t wanted to subject Cameron to life on the road—being cooped up in a bus, going from town to town, and struggling to keep any kind of regular schedule. This unfortunately meant that Sam stayed behind as well, as neither of them thought it was a good idea that Cameron be without both of them for three months.

She had thought she was ready for this. When the subject of touring to support her album had come up earlier that year, the three months she would have to go away from her family hadn’t really registered. She even remembered stupidly saying, “It’s only twelve weeks,” the night she came home from her meeting and told Sam about the label’s plans. Sensing her excitement over the opportunity, he’d put on a brave face.
