Kapitel 11: 11. Future Sights (Mileven, Jancy & CO)
A/N: HAPPY NEW YEAR, KIDDOS! I hope you guys had fantastic celebrations and drank lots of wine like I did lol. This is for 'FallingStar95' who wanted Mike and El with some Jancy. I love domestic Mileven. Also, I really want Mike to have that adorable relationship with his sisters, but especially with baby sister Holly. (And omg happy 11th chapter, you guys!)
Prompt: Jonathan and Nancy have a baby, and Mike realizes he wants that with El.
His feet padded softly against the tiles of the hallway as they walked towards his sister's room.
They were in the hospital, about to meet his new nephew.
Nancy had called him last night to talk about nothing in particular, like she always did when she was bored, and reminded him that she was scheduled for her C-section today.
Her pregnancy had been healthy and without much troubles, but Nancy had always been small for her age, and if the ultrasounds were right, the baby appeared to be big, so the doctor advised a C-section would be the better option.
His mom had called him over three hours ago to tell him his sister had delivered a healthy and pink baby boy at exactly 3:24 in the afternoon, and Jonathan had called El an hour ago to tell her it was okay to come now.
"Are you excited?" El asked him as she tugged in his hand.
"Well, yeah. This is the first baby in our family." He smiled down at his girlfriend, clutching her hand in one of his, and hugging a stuffed bear on the other.
"Jon is high on emotions right now." She laughed.
"I bet." His eyes landed on a familiar head of blonde hair and he smiled, passing the stuffed bear to El just in time to catch his little sister.
"Mike!" Holly Wheeler squealed as she threw herself at her brother.
"Hey, Holls." He grunted as he held the 15 year old against him. He twirled her a little, smiling joyfully as he hugged his little girl. Holly was growing up to be a beautiful girl, like all the Wheeler woman, and she hated to be treated like a child, but in his eyes, she would always be his little baby.
"Hey, Ellie." The teen smiled cheekily as Mike planted her back on the ground, leaning in to hug her sister-in-law. "Mom is inside with Joyce and your dad."
"Where's our dad?" Mike frowned.
"He's in the resting area," Holly rolled her eyes. "He's probably asleep, like always. Like, honestly," she huffed as the three walked to the room. "We got here around 5! Mom's been here since morning."
"Did you see him yet?" El asked her, referring to their nephew.
"Yes, he's so cute!" Holly gushed, cooing over the baby with El while Mike peered into the tiny window on the door. Inside, he could see his sister on the bed, looking tired but still awake, talking to his mom and Joyce, who was seated on one of the couches in the room. Jonathan was walking around the room, moving his arms gently to bounce the baby in his embrace. Hopper was lazily stretching his legs, seated next to Joyce on the couch and he was the first to catch Mike's eyes.
He opened the door and smiled as the hushed conversation inside ceased.
"Hey." He greeted quietly, instantly locking eyes with Nancy.
"It was about time." His sister croaked at him, smiling as he leaned down to give her a gentle hug.
"How are you feeling?" He asked her as El greeted everyone in the room behind him.
"Like I got run over by a truck." She confessed, laughing lightly with a wince.
"Don't laugh, honey, it pulls on your stitches." Karen admonished lightly, coming closer to Mike and reaching up to press a kiss to his cheek. "Hi, sweetheart."
"Hey, Mom." He kissed her cheek, smiling down at her as he hugged her warmly.
"It should be illegal to look that good while I'm laying here like this." Nancy teased El as she leaned down to hug the new mom.
"What are you taking about? You look great." El laughed, sharing a look with Mike over Nancy's head.
"You didn't come here to lie to my face! Mike, tell her to stop lying." Nancy chuckled.
"Stop, you look beautiful." Jonathan told his wife as El stood up and hugged her brother from behind.
"He's entitled to say that." Nancy told her brother conspiringly.
Mike laughed, still hugging his mom as El peered inside the blanket in Jonathan's arms and cooed at the baby.
"Oh my god. He's so cute!" She gushed excitedly.
"I told you." Holly sighed as she took the last seat beside Joyce.
"Want to hold him?" Jonathan asked his sister.
"Really?" El whispered, still captivated by the baby.
She quickly sat down on the other couch, in front of the bed, and flipped her long hair behind her shoulders as she extended her arms to receive her nephew.
Jonathan carefully placed the baby in her arms and Mike sighed at the lovely picture in front of him.
He knew she wanted kids. He wanted kids, too, but they just recently had bought a house and he was halfway through his master's program. Besides, they weren't married yet. Kids outside of marriage wasn't an issue for him, but he wanted the wedding first. The ring was stashed in the back of his underwear drawer, and he knew she was more than willing to be his wife, but he hadn't found the right moment yet. But nonetheless, looking at her now, holding a baby and looking more beautiful and gorgeous than normal, he knew a baby would definitely be in their future plans.
"What a sight, right?" Nancy smirked at him from her bed.
He flushed, caught staring at El while Joyce laughed at his awestruck expression.
"When are you popping the big question?" Jonathan asked him quietly as he took a seat on the chair next to the bed, taking hold of Nancy's hand and giving it a quick kiss.
"I haven't found the right moment." He answered as he gulped with emotion, still looking as Hopper took a seat next to El, who was bouncing the baby up and down with a smile. The Chief leaned over and whispered something in his daughter's ear, making El laugh and whisper something back to him. Hopper's rumbling laughter echoed around them and Mike grinned even bigger.
"Shhh, Hop." Joyce admonished lightly.
He met Hopper's eyes and the older man threw him a pointed look in El's direction, clearly asking what Jonathan had, too.
Mike simply smiled indulgently, letting go of his mom and waking closer to El. He crouched down in front of her and met her brown eyes. They shared a meaningful smile that made everyone else advert their eyes from the couple, and he reached out to push a strand of chesnut hair behind her ear.
"Look." She smiled at him, lifting an elbow to rise the baby's face up.
He smiled softly as he looked at his newborn nephew's wrinkly face; eyes squeezed shut as he slept soundlessly.
"Wow, look at that," Mike whispered as he reached out to softly touch the baby's head. "Hey, little guy."
"He smells so good." El told him in a whisper, laughing quietly with him as she brought the baby's head to her nose.
"That's Nancy's inner guts."
"Ew, Mike!" He laughed at her amused grimace.
She sighed and looked back at the baby, rocking him gently and dancing her eyes all over his face in curiosity.
His heart swelled and he sighed in adoration, not believing how in love he really was.
"What?" She asked him in a murmur, a grin tugging at the corners of her mouth.
"You're gorgeous." He smiled up at her.
She blushed prettily and shifted to hold the baby in one arm, reaching the other out to run her fingers though his dark waves softly.
"Want to go for a coffee?" Hopper asked his wife with a grunt, standing up from his seat, trying to look fine and unbothered as the sappiness in Mike Wheeler's words got to him. Damn the kid for loving his daughter so much.
Joyce smiled, standing up and taking his extended hand. "We'll be back in a minute. Anyone want anything?"
A few 'No, thanks' were murmured all around, and after a soft touch at Jonathan's hair, the couple was gone.
Mike took the seat Hopper had vacated, and threw an arm around El, leaning down to press a kiss to her shoulder and laying his head on it, still enraptured by her interaction with the baby.
"Aren't you going to hold him?" El questioned.
He nodded and a few seconds after, the warm weight that was his nephew was firmly placed in his arms.
"Oh, let me take a photo of this!" His mom squealed, running to her bag and taking out the old Polaroid she loved so much.
"Mom!" Mike groaned as Holly laughed from her place on the other couch, totally entertained by her brother's annoyance.
"A few years from now you'll be the one with a baby! The family is growing!" Karen teared up, snapping furiously as Mike flushed and shared a look with El.
She only smiled and bit her thumb, looking at him with love shining through her eyes.
"Have I ever told you how good you look with a baby?" She fluttered her lashes.
"Yeah," He raised his eyebrows, breath caught in his throat at the look she was giving him. "You have."
He ignored the laughter coming from Nancy and Jonathan, and instead received the kiss from El, still cradling the baby close.
