Nancy and Jonathan never got a honeymoon, because they were married so suddenly. As a surprise Jonathan booked them a stay at a nice hotel in Chicago and a fancy dinner. Nancy discovered wouldn't be home to babysit, and was thinking about cancelling the trip. Eleven immediately volunteered to babysit, but Nancy was hesitant. She trusted El, but she would be alone with Mike. Nancy decided Eleven deserved a chance, because she never betrayed her trust.
Nancy was worried about Mike helping watch her baby, because she didn't think he was the most mature guy. Jonathan and Nancy drove to the Wheeler house to explain to the babysitters Hazel's schedule. Nancy told Eleven exactly when to give her a bottle of milk. She explained what to do if she got fussy and when to put her to bed. Nancy handed El a bag with formula, baby food, diapers, and the baby's pajamas.
"Don't forget the baby powder for Hazel's diaper rash." Nancy stated.
"Of course. Don't worry Nance." El said.
Mike said, "Yeah Nance. We are gonna have a great time with Hazel and follow all your instructions."
"Thanks guys. Remember call me if there is an emergency. You have my number right? Don't be afraid to call if you need anything at all or if you have any questions and…" Nancy began but Jonathan tugged her out the door.
El and Mike sat on the couch and started a movie. Eleven grabbed Hazel's bottle and began to feed Hazel. Mike placed his arm around Eleven as they watched the movie and she fed Hazel. Eleven handed Mike the baby, so she could go to the bathroom. Although, the baby started to cry when El left and Mike didn't know what to do, but then he remembered she had eaten. He lifted he up to his shoulder and patted her back gently. She burped quietly and stopped crying thankfully.
After, the movie ended it was about eight o'clock and it was almost time for Hazel to head to bed. Mike and El took her up to the bathroom. Eleven removed her dirty diaper and traded Mike for a clean one and the baby powder. Mike dressed her in a purple onesie, once her diaper was on. They brought Hazel downstairs to the basement to her crib beside the fort. It was Mike's old crib. Mike placed her down in the crib and Eleven started to sing a lullaby. Hazel started to doze off as Mike began to sing with El. Mike and Elven decided to sleep in the fort next to her.
"Your voice is fantastic El." Mike said.
"Thanks so is your voice. We have a beautiful niece." El stated.
Mike replied, "She's as beautiful as you, so she must be pretty."
"Oh Mike you crack me up." El said.
"It's true you know. Eleven you are going to make a great mom." Mike said.
El replied, "You are going to make an amazing dad. Our daughter is going to be a huge daddy's girl."
"Hey, how do you know we will have a girl in the future?" Mike asked.
"I just do trust me we will." Eleven said winking.
Mike didn't know how, but he figured she somehow used her powers to find that out. Eleven was probably right he thought.
"You know El, this is kind of like training to be future parents." Mike said.
El replied, "Yeah, this training showed me that we are gonna be a power team as parents."
"Oh Eleven." Mike said laughing.
The next morning Eleven made toast and eggs while Mike fed Hazel. They were listening to the radio too and a slow song began to play. Mike picked up Hazed and began to sway while rocking her. Eleven turned around from the stove to see Mike dancing with Hazel.
"Mike what are you doing?" El asked.
"Dancing." Mike said.
El replied, "I see Hazel took my dance partner."
"No. I'm sure Hazel won't mind if you guys take turns. May I have this dance future ?" Mike asked.
El and Mike began to dance and she rested her head on his shoulder. They danced until the song ended.
"Thanks ." El said.
After breakfast, Mike took Hazel upstairs to change her diaper and get her dressed while Eleven cleaned the dishes. A pleased Nancy picked up Hazel an hour later. She was surprised they did such a great job. Nancy would definetly let Hazel stay with them again.
