It had been a few weeks since El and Mike's special night and El was visiting Nancy. The baby was due in a a little less than a month and Nancy was getting anxious. Jonathan asked Eleven to come have some girl time with Nancy to calm her down for awhile. Nancy quickly decided to bring up the elephant in the room.
"So Eleven was it good? Did you have fun?" Nancy asked winking.
"Yes it was amazing. Mike was really excited whenever I decided I was ready." El explained.
Nancy replied, "I bet he was. I could tell he has been waiting for that night since he met you."
"You really think so?" El asked.
"Umm..El it's obvious." Nancy said laughing.
El replied, "Well I'm pretty sure he enjoyed himself. I know I did. Mike was really good for someone who has no experience."
"I'm glad you had fun." Nancy stated.
El replied, "Mike was mad that you underestimated him."
Nancy asked, "What do you mean?"
"Ummmm...well you gave him all small you knows..and he barely fit in the large." El explained.
"Oh well...who knew Mike was so gifted." Nancy laughed.
Eleven replied, "Well Mike is clearly a special guy but can I talk to you about something personal Nance?"
"Of course Eleven. What is it?" Nancy asked.
"Ummm...well I haven't had my period. I don't know if it even related to what Mike and I did, but it is the same area so…" El explained.
"Oh no! El you can't be serious. Oh no this isn't good. This can't be happening!" Nancy ranted.
El asked, "Nance what's wrong!?"
"Ummmmm…..Eleven….usually missing your period after doing what you did...it means...ummm….the person is pregnant." Nancy explained.
"Nance! I can't be I'm not ready. We used protection! How can this be possible?" El exclaimed.
Nancy replied, "There is always a chance Eleven. I'm gonna take you home and you need to tell Mike. I'll come back with a pregnancy test for you to take. Oh goodness I hope it's negative!"
They rushed to the car and drove in awkward silence to the Wheeler residence. Nancy sped off when El hopped out. She ran to the basement where she saw Mike watching Star Wars. El plopped down next to him and told him they needed to chat.
"What's up El? Did you have fun with Nance?" Mike asked.
"Yes but that's not the point." El stated as tears came to her eyes.
Mike replied, "El what's wrong?"
"Ummm..well...it's a bit personal. Ummm...you see...you might hate me." El said crying.
"El you can tell me anything. No matter what I won't hate you." Mike stated.
"Ummm...well it's about my period." El said turning red.
Mike asked, "What about it? Do you need me to run to the store?"
"Actually Mike that's the problem. My period hasn't come since that night we had alone." El explained.
Mike replied, "Wait. You think you are pregnant! Oh no what are we gonna do!? I'm gonna have to get a job and raise a kid."
"Mike I'm sorry. Calm down. I don't know if I am for sure or not Nancy went to get me a test." El exclaimed breaking into tears.
"Eleven it's okay. We can get through anything. Come here. If it is positive I'll love this baby as much as I love you." Mike explained.
El sat on his lap and hugged him. She kissed him on the cheek and he grinned. Mike picked her up and carried her to the fort. She fell asleep in his arms for 30 minutes. Mike wouldn't tell El, but he was freaking out.
Nancy arrived and they all snuck up to the bathroom. Nancy was there to help Eleven and she of course wanted Mike there. It was awkward them all in a bathroom with a naked Eleven. She took a test and waited for the results.
Nancy stated, "You are dead Mike if it's positive. Mom will kill you. She likes El and I bet she'll blame you."
"Whatever Nancy. If it's positive it's my responsibility. I'll marry Eleven and get a job. She's my girl and I can't expect her to work, so she can be a stay at home mom if she wanted to." Mike explained.
"I would get a job it's my responsibility too." El stated.
Nancy said, "You two will make good parents. Just hopefully it's in a long time not now."
"Thanks Nance. I can't wait to be a mom, but I'm not ready." El stated.
"I can't wait to marry you then I'll be happy to have a family with you." Mike stated.
"You guys are cute. Let's just hope your lives aren't about to change dramatically and you'll get to go to high school." Nancy said.
Just then the results appeared and read…...
