El walked up to Mike who was making her breakfast. "Mike" she said so quietly so he could barely hear her. "Yeah El?" He asked concerned. "Ummmm" she said twiddling her fingers. "Actually I'll be right back." Eleven ran up to Nancy's room and shut the door" Nancy was blowing on her new pastel blue nails. "Hey El, what's up?" Nancy asked quietly.

Tears started rolling down El's cheek. "I-I'm" Nancy looked up and saw El, terrified. She held the positive test in between two fingers. "I'm fifteen. How th-the hell am I supposed to have a child?! I'm a child myself!" El said sobbing. Nancy ran over to her and hugged her tightly. "Hey it's okay. It is Mike's correct?" She asked concerned. "Th-things just got out of hand" she cried even harder. "It's alright, El your a complete badass you'll make it through this. Who should we tell first you think? Mom or Mike?" El looked up at Nancy. " Mike, after all it is his baby."

El walked into the kitchen quietly where Mike was now putting waffles on a plate. "El.... what's wrong? I can see it in your eyes." El started to feel fear bubble up inside her. "Mike just please listen. That night when you invited me to come down in the basement and watch Jurassic Park with you. We went too far. We didn't u-use protection Mike a-and now..." Mike just silently wrapped her in a tight hug, kissing her head. "I'm going to go on a walk okay? I just need to process this." El nodded her head.

She sat on the barstool as more tears rolled down her cheeks. She couldn't handle possibly
losing Mike. He was her first love. Mike was also the first person she actually felt loved her. They laughed together, eventually when El learned to tell jokes. Every Friday night they would watch a movie together and over eat candy and popcorn until they felt like they were going to throw up. She couldn't lose Mike. She needed him more than she thought. About an hour later, Mike walked through the door. He still looked flustered. His dark hair messy.

"El... I-I wanna have this baby with you. I'm not going to be a complete douchebag and just leave. I'm going to stay with you through this. It wasn't only your doing, it was mine too." He said with sadness in his eyes. El got up and kissed him, then rested her head on his shoulder. "I love you Mike." "I love you too El." He said with his lips pressed to her head.
