Mika, Joe and Elijah all go to Madeleine Albright's memorial service in Washington DC and they find out some special news. Thank you so much to ReneeThornton8 for helping me write this! Enjoy! 💚

April 27th, 2022

After filming two hours of Morning Joe, Mika, Joe and Elijah are in their hotel room relaxing for a few hours before they head to the Washington National Cathedral for Madeleine Albright's memorial service.

Joe and Mika both wanted Elijah to take a little nap since the memorial service will be a few hours long and they don't want Elijah to be grouchy. Joe and Mika don't have a babysitter for Elijah so he has to tag along. Plus, Elijah woke up early just like they did for Morning Joe.

The hotel room is dark as it can be at nine in the morning with the blinds down and the lights turned off.

Joe managed to fall asleep but Elijah is just laying down next to him watching cartoons. Elijah's favorite cartoon right now Bear in the Big Blue House since it is on Disney+ now.

Joe snores softly while Elijah tries to play with his phone but fails to try to get into it. Meanwhile, Mika is in the bathroom taking a shower and getting refreshed for the memorial service.

Thankfully, Joe's phone is locked so Elijah can't access it. That's because he almost accidentally erased all of Joe's apps the last time. What a smart toddler.

About 30 minutes later, Mika comes out of the bathroom, wearing a yellow shirt, a blue scarf and a skirt that belongs to Bamba.

"Mama." Elijah says quietly to Mika with a smile. 

"Hi, Eli. Hi, sweet boy. Did you take a nap?" Mika asks Elijah as he softly rubs Elijah's head.

"No." Elijah says shaking his head.

"That's okay, I figured you wouldn't want to sleep. Is Daddy still sleeping?" Mika quietly says to him while giving him a kiss.

"Yeah." Elijah says as he giggles. 

"Okay, then. Let's get you dressed and then we will wake Daddy up so we can go get breakfast before Auntie Madi's service. Deal?" Mika says to him with a smile.

"Deal." Elijah says while trying to give his mom a thumbs up, causing Mika to awe.

"Trying to give me the thumbs up, huh? You'll figure it out soon, little man." Mika says to Elijah with a grin.

Mika grunts as she picks up Elijah and takes him to the bathroom. Elijah is getting taller and heavier for Mika to pick up and hold. Mika often jokes and says that she needs to do some weights. Elijah is in the 99% percentile in everything the last time he went to the pediatrician. He is tall and lean just like his Dad and his siblings on his dad's side of the family.

Mika places Elijah down on the closed toilet and begins to wipe off Elijah's face with a washcloth.

"Ma ma. Phone." Elijah says, wanting Mika to open up Joe's iPhone for him.

"No, leave Daddy's phone alone. We need to get dressed." Mika says causing Elijah to pout.

Elijah looks on the sink and sees a red solo cup  along with a stick sitting next to it, covered with toilet paper.

"What dat?" Elijah asks, pointing at the cup and stick.

"Something icky. Don't touch." Mika says as she takes the cup away from Elijah's reach, so pee isn't all over the place.

Elijah giggles at Mika and smiles at her.

"It's a pregnancy test, Eli. It shows Mommy if she's having a baby or not. How about we look at it together after we get you dressed for Auntie Madi's funeral?" Mika says to Elijah.

"Yay!" Elijah says as he cheers.

"Eli! Shhh! Inside voice, bud. We don't wanna wake Daddy up." Mika says while holding her finger to her lips.

"Sowwy." Elijah says to Mika.

Mika manages to get the happy and energetic toddler dressed into his memorial service outfit and she is now brushing his hair.

"Hold still, Eli. I have to brush your hair." Mika says as she carefully brushes Elijah's hair, not wanting him to cry.

Elijah absolutely hates his hair brushed but he has gotten better with it since getting older.

"Mama?" Elijah asks Mika and Mika smiles at him, kissing his cheek softly.

"Yes, sweet boy?" Mika says to Elijah.

"Baby!" Elijah says pointing at the still covered pregnancy test.

"Let's see if the my prediction came true." Mika says as she and Elijah look at the pregnancy test together.

"What does that say Eli?" She says while looking as Elijah.

"Baby!" Elijah says as he cheers loudly.

"Yes, that's right! It's positive, meaning Mommy is having a baby. Let's go wake Daddy up and tell him the good news." Mika says with a big smile.

Mika and Elijah both leave the bathroom and quietly go to where Joe is sleeping.

"You need help getting on the bed, buddy?"
Mika asks Elijah.

"No, big boy!" Elijah says as he manages to climb on the bed and giggles.

"Can you be gentle and wake up Daddy?" Mika asks Elijah and Elijah nods with a big grin.

"Uh huh!" Elijah says as he crawls over to Joe and begins to play with his face, causing Joe to stir in his sleep.

"Elijah, not like that." Mika says with a giggle as Joe wakes up with Elijah almost on top of him.

"Daddy wake!" Elijah says happily as he hugs Joe tightly.

"Hi, buddy. Hi. Did you fall sleep too?" Joe asks Elijah as he slowly sits up in bed and yawns, causing Elijah to giggle. 

"No, he just watched cartoons while you slept. But he was a good boy while I took a shower and got ready. Speaking of, you need to get up and get ready. We need to leave soon." Mika says as she smiles at Joe and softly kisses him.

"Daddy! Baby!" Elijah says to Joe with excitement, unable to keep a secret.

"Yeah, your Mama and I's baby. Yes, you are." Joe says as holds Elijah in his lap.

"No, Mama baby!" Elijah says, pointing at Mika and causing Mika to blush and smile.

"Mika, are you serious?" Joe says with a shocked look on his face.

"Yep!" Mika says as she shows Joe the positive pregnancy test.

"Oh boy, now would you look at that. I think we both know when this happened." Joe says as Mika giggles and blushes at Joe.

"Yup, Valentine's Day. You made me feel like a queen this year." Mika says as she kisses Joe twice.

"I did and you made me feel like a king. And what made you want to take a test? I don't remember you saying you were tired or nauseous." Joe says to Mika as he rubs her face, something Mika adored.

"I haven't gotten a cycle but that's normal for me now, but I just felt off. More bloated and more emotional. Oh and my boobs hurt, like a lot." Mika says with a giggle.

"Is this why you cried over an old bouquet of flowers dying the other day?" Joe asks playfully and Mika smacks him.

"Don't make fun!" Mika says as Joe smiles.

"I'm not, baby. How do you feel? Do you wanna go through this again? If you don't, that's your choice, baby. I'm not going to tell you what to do, just like last time. I love you no matter what." Joe says to Mika, causing Mika to blush.

"I do, I do! I thought I was just crying over losing Madeleine. But it also turned out to be this. I'm excited to have another baby with you and for Elijah to be a big brother." Mika says happily.

"It's good that we agree." Joe says as he gives Mika a kiss.

"Love!" Elijah says happily as he smiles.

"Yes, we love you baby. You will always be Mama's baby." Mika says kissing Elijah's forehead.

"Are you excited to be a big brother even though you have zero idea on what it means?" Joe asks Elijah and Elijah nods even though he doesn't get it.

Joe and Mika both chuckle and smile at each other.

"So, you must be pretty far along then. The line on this test is darker than the test line." Joe says to Mika, looking at the test again.

"I'm about two months pregnant at this point, so yeah. Just not out of the first trimester." Mika says to Joe

"How about we announce this good news on Mother's Day on social media and on Morning Joe the next day? You'll be almost out of the first trimester by then." Joe says and Mika smiles.

"That sounds perfect to me. Now come on sleepy, we need to get going." Mika says as she gets up from the bed and smiles at Joe and Elijah sitting together.

"Doesn't Mama look so pretty in her outfit?" Joe asks Elijah and Elijah nods.

*Mika, Joe and Elijah's outfits*

"Ya! Mama prwetty!" Elijah says, causing Mika to blush.

"You look glowing, baby. So beautiful." Joe says as he gets out of bed and Elijah slides off before running around the room.

"Elijah Scarborough, get back here!" Mika says, while chasing him.

"Never a dull moment with these two." Joe says with a sigh before getting redressed.

The hotel room door bell rings a few minutes later and it is Andrea Mitchell, a reporter and close friend of Joe and Mika's.

"Let's answer the door and see who it is!" Mika says as she and Elijah open the door together.

"Look, Eli! It's Andrea! Can you say hello?" Mika says to Elijah as she waves at Andrea.

"Hiiiii!" Elijah says, waving at Andrea too.

"Hello, Elijah! You have gotten so big since the last time I saw you!" Andrea says as she bends down to Elijah's level and waves at him.

"Tell me about it! He is getting so big! He went to the pediatrician a month ago and he is 99% in everything." Mika says with a chuckle, as she lets Andrea in.

"That's what happens when you have a tall dad!" Andrea says with a chuckle.

"Oh yeah! The pediatrician says Elijah will probably be Joe's height or taller. Joe is almost ready by the way, he was sleeping. We tried to get Elijah to nap too but that was a flop." Mika says to Andrea.

"It happens to the best of us. It's almost 9 am. Did you three have breakfast yet?" Andrea asks Mika.

"Not yet. We filmed the first two hours of Morning Joe this morning and kinda forgot." Mika says to Andrea.

"Hungwy!" Elijah says with confidence.

"Hi, Andrea! It's good to see you." Joe says as he gives Andrea a hug.

"Hey, Joe. You look a little worn out." Andrea says with a smile on her face.

"Elijah didn't wanna nap but I did, I was all for it. Elijah was occupied watching his shows on Disney+." Joe says as Elijah runs around happily.

"Now that you're all ready, let's head to the main floor and have some breakfast before going to the Cathedral! This service is probably gonna be long." Andrea says to Joe and Mika.

"Baby! Mama baby!" Elijah says to Andrea, causing Mika and Joe's cheeks to blush.

"Wait a minute. Mika, are you pregnant again?" Andrea asks Mika.

"Elijah, you gotta keep it a secret!" Joe says playfully to Elijah and Elijah laughs.

Mika happily nods and Andrea cheers happily.

"Aw, that's so exciting! When did you find out?" Andrea asks Mika and Joe.

"Literally right now." Joe says with a chuckle as he kisses Mika's cheek. 

"I took a test earlier and it's very positive." Mika says with a grin.

"Aww, that's so great! And don't worry. Your secret is safe with me. I won't say anything until you give the word." Andrea says while holding a finger to her lips.

"Girl, you're the best. Okay, I got my purse and my phone. Joe, you got Elijah's bag and you have your wallet and phone?" Mika says to Andrea and then Joe.

"It's right here, Meek. And thank goodness you packed it the night before. Both my wallet and phone are in my pockets and the hotel key is in my wallet." Joe says with grin.

"Good. That's the last thing we don't wanna leave behind." Mika says as she and Andrea laugh.

"Andwea? I'm hungwy." Elijah says to Andrea softly.

"Then let's go get you some food before we go to Madeleine's funeral service. Can you hold my hand?" Andrea asks as she holds her hand out. Elijah holds it without question.

"That's my boy. We're ready to go?" Joe asks Mika, Elijah, and Andrea.

"Ready!" Elijah, Mika, and Andrea say happily

"Then let's move out, troops!" Joe says

"Yes, sir." Mika and Andrea say as they mock salute Joe.

After breakfast, Mika, Elijah, Joe and Andrea are in their car on their way to the Washington Cathedral.

Elijah is happily watching Sesame Street since they have been in a little bit of traffic.

"President Clinton, Hillary, Vice President Gore, Chelsea, Henry, President Obama, Michelle and President Biden are all going to be there." Andrea says as she looks at her phone.

"I haven't seen Henry in years! He was a little kid when I was in Congress." Joe says as he rubs Mika's back.

"He is very successful photographer and author now! I believe he got married last year but they are having a bigger wedding this year." Andrea says to Mika and Joe.

"I think we might get invited Joe. Hillary and I talked about it when she was on my podcast." Mika says to Joe.

"Really? That sounds fun. How pregnant will you be?" Joe asks playfully causing Andrea to giggle.

"Joe! We can't have anybody knowing! You and Elijah love to spoil things." Mika says playfully to Joe.  

"You're right. No spoilers. Don't wanna spill the tea like people do when movies come out." Joe says playfully to Mika.

"Exactly." Mika says playfully back to Joe.

"Al also said that he brought two special people with him too. I wonder who they are?" Andrea questionably asks Joe

"I guess we'll find out when we get there." Mika says as she lays her head on Joe's shoulder.

"If we get there on time, that is. This traffic is driving me crazy." Joe says in frustration.

"And I thought Florida traffic was bad." Mika says with a sigh.

"What was that, Meek?" Joe playfully asks Mika

"Um, nothing. I love you!" Mika says as she kisses Joe on the head.

"That's what I thought." Joe says playfully as he holds Mika close and kisses her.

"Uh oh!" Elijah says as Sesame Street finishes. 

"Is your show all done? Let's put this away for now. We are almost at the church." Mika says as Elijah pouts a little.

"Do you want some juice?" Joe asks Elijah and Elijah nods.

"Elijah is such a good boy. So sweet and kind." Andrea says to Joe and Mika

"Thank you! Joe and I try our best. We hope we know what we are doing this time around." Mika says with a chuckle.

Elijah happily sips on his apple juice, causing Mika to smile at him.

Fifteen minutes later, they arrive at the church

"We're here." Joe says with a grin.

Joe helps Mika and Andrea out of the car before he picks up Elijah and holds him close. The church bell begins to ring causing Elijah to smile.

"Woah!" Elijah says, causing Joe to smile. 

"Do you hear the church bell ringing?" Joe says to Elijah and Elijah nods.

"Ya!" Elijah says as he holds onto Joe and smiles.

Joe, Mika and Andrea all begin to greet everyone they know with handshakes and hugs.

Mika, Joe and Elijah than walk over to the front of the church where Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, Henry Clinton and Al Gore are sitting. 

"Hi, everybody!" Mika says as she begins to greet everyone with a hug.

"Where's your little man at?" President Joe Biden asks Mika playfully with a smile.

"He's coming! He is with Joe! We didn't have baby sitter to watch him today." Mika says with a giggle.

"Jill is at home with Devi and Jacob since Kamala and Doug are working from home." President Joe Biden says and Mika nods.

"Oh I can't wait to see your little guy! I follow on Instagram and I love to see his pictures and videos." Hillary says with a big grin.

"She watches your videos all of the time!" President Bill Clinton says as Mika giggles.

"Aww, he loves you too! He watches videos of all of you guys. Weird for a toddler to watch president videos but that's how it is when your parents report politics." Mika says with a chuckle.

Just then, Elijah and Joe walk over to where Mika is. Mika is standing in front of Joe, Barack, Michelle, Bill, Hillary, Chelsea, Henry, Sienna and Al.

"Elijah, stay over here. Don't go up there. Elijah Zbigniew." Joe says to Elijah and Elijah goes up the steps anyway.

"Looks like you two are busy!" President Barack Obama says with a chuckle, causing Mika and Joe to laugh.

"We are but we love him very much." Mika says as Joe chases after Elijah and brings him over to say hello.

"Hiiiii!" Elijah says while being a little shy.

"Hi, Elijah! It's so good to see you." Hillary says excitedly with a grin.

"He reminds me of my grandson Beau. I'm surprised that Hunt can keep up with him at the age of fifty two." President Joe Biden says with a smile, causing everybody to laugh.

"His wife Melissa just had another baby, right?" Michelle asks President Joe Biden and he nods.

"She did. Her and Hunt had their second baby boy on April 4th. Joseph Robinette Biden IV, aka Joey. He was at the Easter egg roll being carried by his Mama." President Joe Biden says with a proud look on his face.

"Aw!" Barack, Michelle, Bill, Hillary and Al all say in unison with cheeky smiles.

"He keeps us moving that's for sure! Keeping us young too!" Mika says with a grin as Elijah walks over to her.

Elijah stays close next to Mika as Mika rubs his head softly.

"I feel like I'm more fit now than I was with my other kids!" Joe says with a chuckle.

"He looks just like Joe and your dad, Mika. Such a sweetheart." Michelle says and Mika smiles.

"That's what everyone says and I agree." Mika says to Elijah and Elijah giggles.

"Mama! Mama!" Elijah says to Mika.

"Yes?" Mika says to Elijah, rubbing his head some more.

"Baby! Mama baby!" Elijah says happily causing Mika to blush and giggle.

"Elijah! Don't tell everyone the surprise, bud." Joe says to Elijah playfully.

"I sorry." Elijah says while covering his mouth

"It's alright bud." Mika says, kissing Elijah's cheek.

"Phew, That was a close one." Joe says to Mika and Mika nods.

"You said you brought three special guests, Al. Where are they?" Mika asks Al curiously.

"They're talking with other mourners right now, but they'll be here soon. I'm gonna keep you all guessing." Al says with a grin behind his mask.

"I know who they are, but my lips are sealed." Hillary says with a smile

"Same here. I'm not talking." Bill says with a grin.

"Us too." Chelsea and Henry say in unison, while smiling at each other

"Oh, boy." Joe says with a nervous look on his face.

-

"I see them coming this way now. I'll be right back." Al says as he gets up out of his seat and walks away.

"I wonder who they could be?" Andrea asks Mika and Mika shrugs her shoulders.

"We're about to find out. Here they come." Mika says as she holds Elijah.

Al is leading three ladies to the front and all of them are holding hands. Two of them are in their mid 20s while the other has blonde & some silver streaks of hair and is the same age as him.

"Everybody. These are the three ladies I invited. The one on my right is Sienna Gore. My youngest daughter. On my left is her best friend, Renee Thornton. Both of them flew in from Michigan during finals week to be here." Al says with a grin.

"Hi, everyone." Sienna says as she waves at everyone.

"Hi, there!" Renee says with a grin.

"Renee! Sienna! It's good to see you two again!" President Barack Obama says with a smile on his face.

"Likewise, Mr. President." Sienna says to the 44th President.

"And a special hello to you, Mrs. Obama." Renee says with glee.

"Hi, Renee. You two still being the leaders and best at U of M?" Michelle says happily.

"Yes. Thankfully we took our in person finals on Monday and yesterday. We have online ones we're taking tonight." Renee says nervously.

"You two will be fine. I know you will." Michelle says with a smile.

"Thanks." Renee and Sienna both say in unison.

"It's so good to see you, Sienna!" President Bill Clinton and Hillary both say in unison to Sienna.

"It's good to see you Uncle Bill and Auntie Hillary." Sienna says as she hugs them both.

"Hey Sienna!" Chelsea says as she hugs Sienna.

"Hey, Chels!" Sienna says happily.

"Hey loser!" Henry says playfully to Sienna and Sienna hugs him.

"Hey loser!" Sienna says back to Henry.

Sienna and Henry have been calling each other losers since they have been in their preteens and it's been an inside joke ever since.

"And this one in between them is someone very near and dear to me. Despite our circumstances, I still love her to pieces. Can you guess who she is?" Al asks everyone playfully.

"Wait a minute......" Joe says with a shocked look in his eyes.

"Tipper is that you?" President Joe Biden asks with a smile.

"Yep! It's me, everybody!" Tipper says happily pulling her mask down so everybody could see her face before putting it back on.

Tipper hugs everyone before she, Sienna, Renee and Al sit down.

Mika, Joe and Elijah talk with a few more guests for another fifteen minutes before they sit down for the memorial service.

Mika holds Joe's hand during the whole thing while Joe wrapped his one arm around Mika, comforting her during the sad memorial service.

Elijah sat on Joe's lap for the majority of the service, being a good boy and not that toddler that yells or cries the whole time.

Mika goes up on the stage and to the podium to talk about her and her family's close relationship with Madeleine. Joe and Elijah both watch her proudly.

"Madeleine always reminded me when it was my dad's birthday because sometimes I forgot. I know I'm horrible! So when my dad passed away in 2017, Madeleine began to call me for Joe's birthday and she did every year. I missed that call this year. She also fell in love with our baby boy Elijah, even after telling Joe and I how crazy we were having a baby in our fifties. Right after she said we were crazy, she called weekly to see how I was. Then, when Elijah was born all she wanted to do was hold him and snuggle him. Madeleine told me that Elijah was most likely sent from my dad and I truly believe that as well." Mika says in part of her speech.

After the memorial service, everyone goes to United States Institute of Peace in Washington D.C. for a private reception.

Andrea, Mika, Joe, Elijah, Hillary, Bill, Chelsea and Henry are all sitting at a table together.

Joe holds a sleeping Elijah in his arms with his blanket covering his face up so the lights don't wake him up.

"Somebody's tired." President Bill Clinton says with glee.

"Yep. We tried to get him to take a nap after the first two hours of Morning Joe since he woke up early. But that ended up being a bust. I almost had to drag Joe out of bed." Mika says with a grin, causing everybody is laugh.

"That's what happens when you are an older parent! But I'm loving every minute of it." Joe says proudly and Mika smiles too.

"Aww, he is a red head and it's curly!" Chelsea says, admiring the sleeping toddler.

"It's getting more redder since he has gotten older." Joe says to Chelsea with a grin.

"Madeleine really loved him. She spoiled him for his first birthday and even before he was born." Mika says with a smile.

"Oh she spoiled Henry and Chelsea too! She loved kids." Hillary says with a grin.

"I now understand how hard it was for mom  and dad to get us up for school in the morning. Especially since I have three kids now." Chelsea says.

"And Mom and Dad, don't even ask me that question. When are you gonna give us a grandchild." Henry says with a smirk on his face, causing everyone to laugh.

"I know you'll become parents when you and Mia are ready." Hillary says with a smile.

"Yeah, I gave them grandkids so no pressure for you." Chelsea says playfully to Henry and Henry giggles.

"I know, son. There was a few times that we asked your Uncle Al and Aunt Tipper to give you two morning wake up calls on the phone to get up." President Bill Clinton says to Henry and Chelsea. 

"Oh my god, do I remember those. Even after both of us went to college, they still did that to us. So annoying." Henry says playfully.

"I'm sorry, Henry. What was that?" Tipper asks her godson with a stern look on her face while sitting at the table next to theirs.

"Um, nothing Aunt Tip. I love you!" Henry says to his godmother nervously.

"I thought so. Uncle Al and I love you too. And don't you forget it." Tipper says with a slight smile on her face.

"Wow, Henry. She got you good." Joe says with a chuckle.

"She always does." Henry says to Joe with a grin.

"She did love kids a lot. Especially her three daughters. I was just thinking about former Secretary of State Colin Powell during the service. Can you imagine the stories those two are telling each other in heaven right now?" Mika says with a happy yet sad look on her face.

"Oh, a bunch of funny ones I bet. Man, she's gonna be missed terribly." Joe says as he rubs Elijah's back while he eats. 

"Yes she is. If you all could raise your glasses I'd like to propose a toast. To an incredible Secretary of State and an even better lady and friend. We love you Madeleine. Rest In Peace. Cheers." Hillary says with a smile on her face.

"Cheers!" Everyone says as they all clink their glasses and drink their drinks.

Mika doesn't drink her drink but she does sip on her water she brought.

"Why aren't you drinking the wine? It's really good! I remember Madeleine loved this wine." Hillary says to Mika with a smile sipping on her drink.

"Well, Hill. That's because Joe and I got some good news this morning." Mika says with a grin and Joe smiles back.

"Wait, what?" Sienna says with a shocked look on her face.

"No way! It can't be. Mika, are you and Joe expecting again?" Renee questionably asks her and Joe.

"Yup!" Joe says proudly as Mika giggles and blushes.

Al, Sienna, Renee, Tipper, Joe Biden, Barack, Michelle, Henry, Chelsea, Bill and Hillary all cheer happily.

"I had a feeling you were after Elijah said baby at the cathedral." Hillary says as she hugs Mika.

"He's been saying that all day which I find very adorable. He was there when I found out and then we woke up Joe." Mika says to Hillary.

"Aw, Elijah is going to be a great big brother. I'm so happy for you two!" Hillary says to Mika.

"Thank you so much!" Mika says with a grin.

"Wanna have another one, Hill?" President Bill a Clinton asks Hillary playfully.

"No, I'm great with our two. But we gotta be careful though! We don't wanna be like Joe and Jill!" Hillary says playfully and Joe chuckles as he walks over with his water.

"I heard that!" President Joe Biden says with a smile.

"How is your little guy?" Joe asks President Joe Biden.

"Getting so big. He is eight months old now and he is sitting up, rolling around and he is almost crawling. He rocks back and forth but not crawling yet." President Joe Biden says, showing Joe, Mika, Hillary, Bill, Chelsea and Henry pictures of Jacob.

"Aww! He is soooo adorable!" Mika says as she awes at the pictures of Jacob.

"Hey, Barack. Are you ready to be a grandparent yet?" Michelle playfully asks her husband.

"Not exactly. Because it means that our little girls are really growing up and I'm not ready." President Barack Obama says to Michelle.

"That's what we said when our daughter Karenna had our first grandchild, Wyatt. Becoming a grandparent is one of the greatest feelings in the world and it's like loving your kids all over again." Al says with a smile.

"He's right. After all the pictures I've seen of you with kids Barack, especially the babies, it's gonna be game over for you and Michelle when you have grandkids. I guarantee it!" Tipper says with a big smile on her face.

Elijah begins to slowly wake up on Joe's arms and yawns, causing Andrea to smile.

"Hello! Did you take a nice nap?" Andrea asks Elijah and Elijah looks at her in confusion, confused on where he is.

"Good afternoon, sleepy head! You took a long nap today and you gave Daddy strong arms for holding you this whole time." Joe says as he moves the blanket away from Elijah's face but still keeps him covered up.

"Hi, baby. Did you sleep good? You slept like a rock for almost two hours on Daddy." Mika says as she smiles at Elijah.

"Do you want some water? Here you go." Joe says holding Elijah's sippy cup as he takes a few sips.

"Aww, he doesn't know what's going on!" Chelsea says with a giggle and Henry smiles at Elijah doing silly faces at him.

"Mama." Elijah says to Mika and Joe hands Elijah to her.

"Do you want something to eat? I don't know if you would like any of this food." Mika says as Elijah lays his head on Mika and Mika kisses him.

"He is so tall! I didn't realize how tall he is." Hillary says as she smiles at Elijah.

"He is a big boy. He'll probably be taller than me by the time he is ten." Mika says with a giggle as Elijah smiles.

"We'll see about that. It'll be a long while before he's tall like me." Joe says as he smiles at Mika.

"I know that silly!" Mika says as she playfully hits her husband.

"Ow, that hurts." Joe says mockingly in pain.

"The mighty Joe Scarborough can't take that pain. I'm shocked." Andrea says playfully to Joe.

"Roll!" Elijah says as he looks at the basket of bread on the table.

"You want one buddy?" Joe asks Elijah and Elijah nods.

"Yes, pwease!" Elijah says, remembering to use his manners.

"So polite as such a young age." President Bill Clinton says with a smile on his face.

"We try our best." Mika says with a nervous smile on her face.

"Hi, Elijah! Hi, sweety!" Hillary says to Elijah and Elijah smiles.

"Do you wanna say hi?" Mika asks Elijah.

"Hi." Elijah says softly to Hillary as he nibbles on his roll.

"Are you a big boy?" President Bill Clinton asks Elijah and Elijah giggles.

"Is President Clinton so funny?" Mika asks Elijah and Elijah giggles some more.

"I love your hair! Such a gorgeous color." Hillary says as she smiles at Elijah and plays with his hair.

"He has his dad's thick hair! Don't you?" Mika says as Elijah giggles.

"He reminds me of our grandson, Jasper. Always making everyone around him laugh." Hillary says with a grin.

"How are those kids of yours, Chelsea?" Joe asks her

"They're good. All three of them are a joy, but there are days when they aren't acting right. On Valentine's Day, two and a half year old Jasper yelled hi a little too loud at Vice President Kamala Harris's son Devi. Startling him and making him cry. But I made sure he apologized." Chelsea says with a little smile.

"Oh, no! That's not good. But at that age, kids sometimes forget to use their inside voice. We've had our moments with Eli, but he's mostly a good kid." Mika says, while smiling at her son.

"Pwretty!" Elijah says with glee while pointing at where Tipper is.

"We don't point at people, buddy. It's rude. But yes, Tipper Gore is a pretty lady. She's former Vice President Al Gore's wife. You wanna go say hi to them?" Joe asks Elijah and Elijah nods.

"Yeah!" Elijah says happily.

"Okay, then let's go over to where they're sitting." Joe says as he holds Elijah's hand and they walk over together.

Joe and Elijah head to the table where Al, Tipper, Sienna, Renee, Barack, and Michelle are. Al and Tipper are talking to Sienna and Renee when Tipper feels someone tugging on her dress. That's when she looks down and sees it's Elijah.

"Hi!" Elijah says happily as he waves to the Former VP and Second Lady.

"Hi, Elijah! Hi, cutie! You look just like your Daddy. Come here sweetie!" Tipper says in her happy tone of voice as Joe puts him in her lap.

"Elijah says that you're really pretty, Tipper. And that's the truth." Joe says with a smile.

"Why, thank you. I think you're pretty cute too, Elijah." Tipper says as she taps Elijah's nose, making him giggle.

"It's true. You did give me five beautiful kids and we gained an honorary daughter through Renee due to her bond with Sienna." Al says with a smile.

"Al, stop it. You're gonna make me cry." Tipper says as she playfully hits Al.

"I'm just glad to have you and the Clinton's in my life and my parents let you. Not many kids can say that they know POTUS, VP, First Lady, Second Lady and their families personally. My mom couldn't be happier to have other people looking out for me. And my Dad would be too." Renee says as she thinks about her Dad who passed in 2015.

"Are you excited to be a big brother, buddy?" Al asks the one and a half year old.

"Yeah! Baby!" Elijah says as he raises his hands happily.

"Gosh, you remind me of my nephew Wyatt when he was little and he's about to graduate college now." Sienna says as she rubs Elijah's head.

"He really does. I watch videos of you on your Mommy's Instagram all the time, Eli! You have brought joy to so many people, including me." Renee says with glee.

"Can you give my Mom a hug?" Sienna asks the toddler with a grin.

Elijah wraps his arms around gives the Second Lady's neck and gives her a hug that she returns.

"Thank you, buddy. I needed this today. Your Aunt Madi was a great lady and I know you're gonna miss her." Tipper says while hugging the one year old and trying to hide a tear coming out of her eye.

"Tip, are you ok?" Al asks Tipper softly.

"I'm just surprised that everybody welcomed me back with open arms. And I'm just full of gratitude along with how sad I am that Madeleine is gone." Tipper says, trying to fight off her tears.

Al wraps his arm around Tipper and rubs her back.

"Tip, don't try to fight it. If you need to cry, just let it out." Al says to Tipper.

"He's right, Mama Tip. You told me this when I lost my Dad. Crying isn't a sign that you're weak. It's a sign that you've been strong for too long." Renee says while hugging Sienna.

Tipper finally let's the tears fall & starts to cry. Al hugs the woman he cares for the most despite their circumstances while Joe takes Elijah off her lap

"Oh, Tip! It's alright, sweetie. Shhhhh...." Al says while conforming her

"Everything okay over there?" Mika asks as she and everyone else look at the two.

"Tipper? Al, what happened?" Hillary asks while being concerned for her friend

"She is just overcome with emotion with everything that's happened today." Al says with a sad tone of voice

"Group hug." Renee and Sienna say in unison and hug both of them.

Ten minutes later, Tipper finally calms down and Al looks at her, Renee and Sienna.

"You good, mom?" Sienna asks Tipper.

"Yeah, are you ok?" Renee asks Tipper.

"Yep. I'm good. Your dad was right. Holding in your emotions in is bad and I needed to let it out." Tipper says in a sad as her tears dry up and she let's Al go.

"Come here, sister." Hillary says as she brings her friend in for a hug.

"Thanks, Hill. You always know how to cheer me up." Tipper says as the two ladies hug it out.

"That's what friends and family do: Be there for each other. You told me that after Bill's many health scares. Especially in 1998." Hillary says to Tipper.

"You're right. I did say that." Tipper says as the two ladies start to giggle at the statement.

Everybody happy to see the Second Lady feeling better.

"Was Elijah planned or a surprise?" President Bill Clinton asks Mika with a chuckle.

"BIG surprise! We weren't expecting to have any children. I have my two, plus my best friend's twins who I treat as my own since she passed away. And then Joe has his four, so that's eight between us. Now we have Elijah and this baby on the way." Mika says with a grin.

"I'm so happy for you. I know the last few years were rough with your divorce and your dad passing away but you and Joe are a great couple on tv and off." Hillary says with a grin.

"Thanks Hillary. It means a lot. I know our relationship has been up and down after campaigns but I'm really glad we are great friends." Mika says as she hugs Hillary.

Elijah happily dances around as Joe follows him around the room.

"I'm glad we are friends too! And it's all good, you and Joe have a job to do and you two do a great job reporting the facts and not a certain narrative like some places." Hillary says as Mika giggles.

"Like Fox who is obsessed with you and Bill." Mika says as she and Hillary laugh loudly.

"Just like Joe impeaching me, it's all good! We love talking about music and other things." President Bill Clinton says with a grin.

Elijah runs around happily, stomping his feet happily.

"Elijah, stay over here. Don't touch." Joe says as Elijah walks near an art picture of Madeleine.

"Elijah, do you want a cookie? Come here!" Mika says as she holds a cookie for Elijah.

"Ookie!" Elijah says with excitement.

"Yes, look! Your favorite, chocolate chip. Sit down while you eat it, okay?" Mika says as Elijah nods.

Joe walks over and kisses Mika's cheek and smiles at her and Elijah together. Elijah happily eats his cookie while Mika plays with his hair.

"Mmm, is that good?" Hillary asks Elijah and Elijah nods.

Mika, Joe, Elijah and Andrea all say goodbye to everyone and get ready to head to the hotel and Mika, Joe and Elijah getting ready to fly home to Florida.

Elijah runs around and gives everybody a hug, causing Mika and Joe to both smile happily.

"Bye bye!" Elijah says to everyone and everyone waves goodbye at him.

Today has been a sad day with Madeleine Albright's funeral service, but Joe and Mika are very happy that they are expecting baby #2 :)
