"i'm feeling chinese takeout,"

~~~~~~~~

mike had a stressful day at work.

spending seven hours talking front of middle school students about science can be frustrating at times. though he wanted to be a scientist in high school, mike decided, midway through college, to pursue a teaching career, to inspire students, just like mr.clarke had inspired him.

and though most days were fun, the students had taken their final exam today, meaning hundreds of tests and labs to go through and grade. after school, he had completed about twenty.

he left around five thirty, about the time el got off from her job as the middle school counselor. they carpooled to school.

el was already in the car looking through some papers in a file, a pen in hand. mike saw her through the window and smiled at her hair bunched in a messy bun and her blazer clung to her body tightly.

mike knocked on the window, smiling.

el looked up, then unlocked the car, "hey stranger,"

"how was work?" mike asked, sliding into the drivers seat, taking her hand.

"it was okay," she said, giggling. she reached up and pressed a kiss to mike's lips, letting it linger a little more than usual.

el and mike got married about six months ago in a church nearby. it was a small wedding, but for the two, it was perfect. they had known each other for almost fifteen years

"you seem pretty happy today," mike said, pulling away as she giggled.

"i'm always happy," el said.

"well- happier, i guess. anyways, what are you thinking today?" mike asked, as he went to start the car.

"i'm feeling chinese takeout," el said, leaning back into the passenger seat, shoving the files in an organizer in her purse, placing her purse in the back seat of the car.

"which store?"

"I'm not sure. i'll call and have them deliver," el said.

"nah, it's ok, we can just pick it up on the way home," mike said.

"c'mon mike," el said, patting his leg, "i'm in the mood to be delivered to,"

mike laughed, as he started backing out of the parking space, "okay,''

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"so how were the exams today?" el asked as she set her purse down on the counter.

mike just threw himself down on the couch face first, burying his face in the cushions. el giggled.

she kneeled down beside the couch and placed a hand on his back, giving it a light pat, smoothing her hand over his striped shirt, as she said, "not well, i presume?"

"so.many. tests." mike said, his voice muffled by the cushions.

"just......just take a shower. everything feels better after a shower," el said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

when mike put on his plaid pajama pants and white t-shirt, joining el in the kitchen, she hadn't changed out of her day clothes. on the kitchen table were two chinese takeout boxes and a suspiciously large fortune cookie.

mike sat down, "mmm, what'd we get,"

"it's a surprise. i got something new," el said, getting into the seat across from mike, placing her elbows on the table. she bit her lip and looked at the box smiling, in anticipation.

mike picked up the box, "what is it?"

"you'll see," el said, raising her eyebrows.

mike opened the box and pulled out two tiny white pieces of cloth, in the shape of a half-hemisphere. it kind of look like someone ripped of the finger of a glove and made it into a fahion style. it looked like a tiny pair of socks.

mike laughed, "what's this?"

"keep going," el said, giggling looking towards the next box.

mike picked up the next box and pulled out another piece of white cloth, thicked and coated in a rubbery material. it looked like- like a bib. like a bib for a baby.

"el, what is this?" mike asked, half confused and amused.

"open the fortune cookie," el commanded, chewing on her nails through a smile.

mike carefully took the cookie out of it's wrapper and cracked it open. on the inside-

a third member of the family is on its way.....

mike gasped, his jaw-dropping wide open, "is-is this real?"

el nodded.

"are you......?"

"i'm pregnant," el said, placing her hand on her stomach, smiling.

mike shot up from her chair and ran over to el, wrapping his arms around her tightly. as el giggled, giddy with joy, as mike pressed his lips to hers.

then he pulled away, "oh my god. you're gonna be a mom"

el giggled and nodded, "and you're gonna be a dad,"
