EL'S POV

"beep boop," i tap both of milo's cheeks as he looks at me curiously.

i gasp and tap his nose as he does his lazy eye and sticks his tongue out which licks my palm.

i giggle and lean forward to kiss his forehead and he stretches his legs on the baby seat.

"el," mike says as i hum, "what is it?" i continue to smile at milo and he smiles back weakly which makes me laugh.

"he smiled at me, mike." i tell him, "it's so cute!"

he nods, "want to know something cuter?"

i turn to him and hold back a grin, "what?"

he smirks and i stand up straighter, "mike, tell me."

he holds both of my hands and i tilt my head as he pulls something from behind his back. he hands it to me and i slowly look at it before gasping.

"you did not!"

"i did." he nods.

i cover my mouth, "you got tickets to her concert!?" i wrap my arms around his neck, "oh my god, i love you so much. how'd you— it's all sold out."

"well, i got a few tricks up my sleeve." he murmurs against my head as i tear up a bit, "but what about little milo?"

"we can drop him at your dad's. he wouldn't mind, right?" he whispers as i nod.

"i'm so happy!" i continue to hug him, "i get to see her in person!"

"i love you," he whispers and leans in to kiss me.

"you really didn't have to." i say quietly, "i was fine with crying on the couch."

he chuckles under his breath, "sweetheart, i'd do anything for you." he pecks my cheek then trails down my jaw to my neck.

i grin and kiss his hair, "thank you, thank you."

he picks me up and sets me on his waist as i cup his cheeks and tangle my fingers into his hair, "i love you so much, you have no idea."

"oh, i have an idea, love." he grins as i lean down on his shoulder.

MIKE'S POV

"no, i don't want to go anymore. i can't leave my baby," el hugs milo as i cross my arms and wait.

"el, hand my grandbaby over," hopper says as i smile and watch her pout.

"don't you want to watch taylor?" i ask.

"but milo." she frowns as i nod, "he will be fine. he will." i whisper as she finally passes him to hopper.

"i love you, i love you." el whispers and kisses milo's head, "mommy and daddy will be right back."

i go to kiss his cheek, "stay put, bud."

el turns to me, "again; where would he go?"

hopper laughs, "alright go on. we'll be fine for today."

i smile and nod as i grab el's hand. she exhales, "okay, we can go. let's go before i cry." she sways my arms as i kiss her temple, "bye milo, have fun." i wave as he looks at me curiously.

el waves at hopper and milo, "bye dad." she gives milo another kiss before she tugs me away.

"i'm so excited!" she sings as i laugh and open the car door for her once we reach my car.
