88. I'll see you later.

El was cradling her baby bump as Mike tucked their duvet cover over her. She was now on maternity leave as they awaited the arrival of their precious baby. El smiled up at Mike lovingly, as he checked over her to make sure she would be ok for today.

"You sure you'll be ok today?" He asks, running his fingers through her curl ridden hair. El's hair was like tiny little corkscrews, whereas Mike's went very, very curly only in heavy heat.

"I'll be fine, Mike. I've got my soap operas, my food, and this little one," El rubs her stomach when she comments on their unborn baby, feeling it kick back against her hand. They didn't want to know what they were having, they wanted to keep it a surprise.

"Promise?" He asks, it was very rare that Mike needed the justification of 'promise', it was usually El that needed the word.

El nodded. "Promise," she replied, reaching up to rest Mike's hand over her stomach, as the baby kicked Mike's hand in response.

"Do I have to go to work?" Mike sighs, resting in cheek on her pregnant stomach.

El rolls her eyes. "Yes, you're the breadwinner or something like that now," El said, making Mike nod and sit up.

"If we're gonna give this little one the best life we can give it, I'm gonna have to go to work," Mike sighed, standing up and continued to run his fingers through her hair.

"Have a good day," she smiles, watching as Mike walked over to get his backpack, and threw it over his shoulder.

He smiled back at his wife. "I'll see you later," Mike promises, they don't say 'goodbye' anymore, because it holds to many harsh memories of El leaving him in 1983.

"See you later," she replies.
