Eleven and Mike were relaxing in Mike's basement one Sunday afternoon. El sat on Mike's lap with her feet dangling off the couch. They were rewatching the star wars series and were on the third movie. It was like their fifth rewatch of the series, but they both enjoyed watching still. Just as Dark Vader made an appearance on screen the basement phone rang.
Both of them decided to ignore it, but it continued ringing for an eternity. Mike finally gave in and answered the call. El paused the movie upset about the interruption. Mike flashed a look at El.
"Here Eleven it's Audrey. She insists that she must talk to you now." Mike said.'
"Hello." El answered as Audrey blabbed on about something unknown to Mike. Eleven looked super surprised and worried all at once. Mike stood watching confused about the whole situation until El ended the call telling Audrey she'd see her in a minute.
"What's going on El? It must have been important if she called here looking for you." Mike said.
El replied, "I'm sorry Mike. I have to go and I don't know what is going on yet. She just said she was really scared and needed help. I have to help I'm her best friend."
Eleven snatched her jacked and ran upstairs. She bolted through the door and down the street to Audrey's house. Thankfully, Audrey lived fairly close to Mike. Audrey and El went into her room and closed the door. It seemed as if Audrey didn't want anyone to hear at all.
"El. Dustin….Dustin and I...we had sex." Audrey admitted.
El replied, "What when!? Last time I checked both of you two were too nervous."
"It happened a few weeks ago right after the trip. Dustin was planning on coming to my house for awhile the day we arrived home. Both of us decided to drop of his stuff before heading to my house. We got there and his mom was gone, but there was a note that said she would be out till late. He asked if I wanted to hang out there and I agreed. We were watching a movie on the TV and I kissed him. He kissed back and before I knew it one thing lead to another. It was amazing. He made me feel like the most beautiful girl. Dustin complemented every part of me even my flaws. He is such a sweet guy. It was a lot of fun Eleven just like you said it would be." Audrey explained as El's mouth dropped.
"Wow. Dustin knew exactly what he wanted and he went for it. I feel like he set it up from how it sounds. That totally seems like a Dustin move. I was not expecting this and hey we tell each other everything. Why am I just hearing of this now? Wait a minute you have been keeping it a secret for weeks. Audrey...do you wanna tell me the real reason I rushed over here in a state of panic?" El asked.
"Well...the thing is….El I'm super scared." Audrey stated.
"Oh no you aren't saying what I think you are." El asked as tears came to Audrey's eyes.
"I'm late El. Two weeks late. I've been regular since I started. I don't know what to do Eleven. Please help me." Audrey said crying.
El replied, "Your period is late for the first time ever right after you and Dustin did it. You need to tell him Audrey. He needs to know. You could be pregnant and we need to get you a test."
"Please don't tell Dusty. I promise I'll tell him if I am, but I wanna be sure first. Will you help me get a test El?" Audrey asked.
El answered, "Of course. We need a ride to the store though. I'll call Mike and ask for a ride.
"Definitely not. I don't want Mike to know about this." Audrey stated.
"No worries. I'll just tell him it's girl stuff he won't ask. He takes me to get stuff like that all the time." El suggested.
Eleven called Mike who agreed to drive them. Both of them hopped in the vehicle when Mike arrived. They drove up to the store and told Mike to stay put. Both of them grabbed a test as everyone stared. El flashed a mean stare to those who gave them odd looks. After, the cashier gave them a stare down both of them ran back to the truck. Their items were concealed in a bag, but Mike saw through the bag.
"Wait a minute. You think you are pregnant Eleven!? No Audrey called you, so that means….Dustin is gonna be a dad!?" Mike asked.
"Mike. You weren't supposed to find out and we don't know thats why we have a test. Audrey didn't want anyone else to know until we were for sure. You can not say anything Michael Wheeler. Promise?" El asked.
Mike replied, "Alright promise. I'm sorry I was nosy Audrey."
"It's all good Mike." Audrey said.
When they got back to Audrey's house both of the girls headed into the bathroom. Audrey nervously pulled out the stick. El and Audrey held hands waiting for the result. Both of the were in tears. Audrey picked up the stick right before the results appeared.
Tears started to fill Audrey's eyes. "Positive." Audrey stated and bursted into tears. El pulled her into a hug. Both girl didn't know what was ahead. The biggest question...how would they break the news to the father to be?
