Nancy felt really sick as she was getting ready for school. As she was about to leave she threw up. Mrs. Wheeler allowed her to stay home, so Nancy returned to bed. She felt nauseous the rest of the morning, but as it became afternoon Nancy felt fine. She rested for the entire day though, so she would be okay for school the next morning.
Although, the next morning Nancy threw up again. thought she had some kind of stomach bug, but Nancy wasn't so sure. El had been told not to go into Nancy's room, so she wouldn't get sick too. El wanted to check on Nancy, so she snuck up to her room after her tutor left.
"Nancy, are you feeling okay?" Eleven asked.
"I'm fine El. I feel great." Nancy answered.
Eleven replied, "I thought you were sick."
"I don't think so El." Nancy said.
"Well, why did you throw up then?" El asked.
Nancy replied, "Eleven can I tell you a secret? You have to promise not to tell anyone not even Mike."
"I promise and friends never break a promise." El replied.
Nancy replied, "El, I think I'm pregnant."
"Pregnant I forgot what you told me that means?" El saidconfused.

"I think you'd make a great mom Nancy. But why does it matter what Jonathan thinks?" Eleven asked.
"He would be the father and thanks El." Nancy said.
Eleven replied, "Nancy, how do you get pregnant and how do you know Jonathan is the father?"
"El can we save this conversation for another day? I promise I will explain it to you fairly soon since you are the right age." Nancy asked.
"Ok. Let me know if you really are pregnant." Eleven said.
