The sound of a pregnancy test hitting the floor was the sound El Wheeler wouldn't forget.

She dropped it in shock, almost not believing that it had two lines. So there it laid, with the other five pregnancy tests that all read; pregnant.

Her hands started trembling until she broke out in sobs. Too many emotions were going on in her head. Fear, shock, happiness...? She didn't know how to take this news.

And she definitely didn't know how Mike would take this news.

In bad timing, Sarah and Arley walked into the bathroom where El sat on her knees, crying into her hands.

"Mommy?" Arley hugged her teddy bear tightly.

El stiffened and wiped her eyes, cracking a smile at her two beautiful daughters.

"You two are supposed to be asleep," El smiled, picking them up and leading them back to their bedroom.

"But you were sad," Sarah frowned, fear sparkling in her faded eyes.
"I'm not sad. Don't worry about me, mommy will be fine," she reassured, and tucked Sarah in first, then Arley, giving them both forehead kisses.

She looked at them one more time before turning off the light and closing the bedroom door.

She sighed and walked into hers and Mike's bedroom, flopping onto the bed with the assortment of pregnancy tests in her hands.

She ran her hand though her hair, thinking how in the world this couldn't happen. Sure, she and Mike engaged in a few- a lot of intimate moments after Sarah and Arley were born, but they were always safe.

Not once did they forget a condom, putting them in the nightstand drawer so it's not easy to forget. El figured the condom must have broke at one point.

She rolled to her side and opened the nightstand drawer, picking up one of the many wrapped condoms that laid there.

"I'm never buying this brand again," El said.

She got a notepad and a pen that were also in the drawer, and went to her to-do list.

'To-do: buy different condoms.'

Mike came home not too long after, and when El heard that door click and a "Babe I'm home!" from Mike, her heart beat instantly began to pound with anxiety.

"Darling?" Mike questioned, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion knowing that normally she'd be running up to him in a heartbeat and giving him a hug or a kiss.

El didn't have much time to think as she heard Mike walking up the steps. She hid the test behind her back for now, and looked down at her feet in worry.

Mike reached their bedroom, knowing by the first glance at her, something was wrong. He could read her eyes like a book.

He quickly sat next to her, throwing an arm around her to bring her closer and giving a peck on her cheek.

"Hey..." He rubbed her arm comfortingly, "What's wrong?"

El tried to talk but sobs came out instead, throwing herself into Mike's arms with her tears staining his shirt.
"Shhhh it's okay El, it's okay," Mike didn't know the problem but he knew that it'll be better long as they were both with each other.

It was a few minutes before Ep could talk again, wiping her eyes and sniffling, finally making eye contact with him.

She stared at those two, dark brown eyes that were so filled with love; she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Mike interlocked both of their hands together, giving them a squeeze.
"I love you El, don't be scared to tell me," Mike smiled, leaning in to give her a quick peck on the lips.

"I-I'm scared y-you won't want to b-be together anymore after I tell you," El started to cry again, but before she could Mike wiped the tears away.

"Nothing is going to make me stop loving you El," Mike told her seriously, though he was starting to get a bit anxious of the next words to come out of her mouth.

"I'm pregnant," El finally blurted out, looking down at the ground. She didn't want to she Mike's reaction, and even if she did want to, she couldn't.

Mike was speechless, like time stopped, widening his eyes in surprisal.

"P-please say something," El trembled, feeling nauseated and scared.

Mike smiled and cupped her cheeks, bringing her into a long, passionate kiss.
"W-We're having another baby?" Mike sniffed, tears pricking his eyes as a wide smile formed on his face.

A slight grin formed on El's lips, and nodded just the slightest.

Before she knew it she was picked off the bed and her feet dangling off the ground, Mike spinning her as he held her close, chuckling and cheering of happiness.

He put her back onto the bed and crawled on top of her, kissing anywhere he could on her face, which made El burst out into giggles.

"Mike," she laughed and handed him one of the pregnancy tests, Mike taking it into his hand and staring at it with tears rolling down his face.

Mike hugged her again, as they both cried, but not of fear anymore; of happiness.

Mike lowered himself and lifted her shirt just above her stomach, placing a kiss to it.
"We'll have another bundle of joy coming our way," he smiled and gave her stomach another kiss.

El stared at Mike with love, knowing she loves him so much it hurts.
"I love you," El sighed, bringing his face back up so she could kiss him.

"I love you too beautiful," He replied, and kissed her so many times on the lips he can't even count.

He rolled off of her and immediately brought her into his arms, running his hand through her curls.

"Do you think it'll be a boy or a girl?" Mike asked, tears still in his eyes.

"I don't care, as long as it's with you," she smiled and snuggled into his chest, relieved Mike took this news well.

"We're buying different condoms," She laughed and Mike snorted.
