*Mika and Joe find out why Mika hasn't been feeling well...Thank you to my bestie joebidenloving for helping me write this! Enjoy! ❤️

January 18th, 2020

Mika is in the bathroom after waking up nauseous for what feels like the 100th day in a row at this point. Luckily, she hasn't thrown up, well not yet.

Mika grabs the Rite Aid shopping bag and pulls out the two pregnancy tests that her friend Rachel got for her the other day.

Mika didn't want to go and get it herself because she didn't want the media finding out somehow and starting rumors.

Mika doesn't think she is pregnant at all because she is fifty two, turning fifty three in May but all of Mika's friends said to take one just in case.

Joe is still fast asleep in bed, with Meatball laying on Mika's pillow, purring happily.

Mika pees into a red solo cup and places it on the counter before feeling a huge wave a nausea and throws up.

Mika bends over the toilet as her knees go weak from the nausea. She stays bent over and catches her breath before standing up to wash her hands and mouth.

Mika realizes that she never actually placed the pregnancy test in the red solo cup. She opens the packaging and pulls out the first pregnancy stick.

Mika looks up in the mirror at herself and then down at the pregnancy stick.

"There's no way. There's no freaking way." Mika says to herself before she takes away the little plastic guard and places the pregnancy stick in the cup for a few seconds before covering it up with toilet tissue.

Mika turns around and leans against the sink while she waits for three minutes for the pregnancy test results.

Joe walks into the bathroom with a sleepy face and ruffed up hair.

"Hi, Meek, are you alright? I thought I heard some vomiting." Joe says and walks over to Mika to stroke her cheek tenderly.

Mika smiles at Joe's touch, wrapping her arms around Joe and hugs him tightly. Joe holds Mika close to him, kissing her cheek and rubbing her back.

"Hi, honey. And I'm alright, I threw up a little bit but I mostly dry heaved." Mika says with a sigh as she lays her head on Joe's chest.

"I'm sorry that you don't feel well, Meek. I wish I could make you feel better." Joe says, rubbing Mika's chin before softly kissing her forehead.

"I know you would and I really appreciate that. You are the best." Mika says as she continues to lay her head on Joe's warm chest.

Joe looks on the stick counter and sees the red solo cup with pee in it and sees a stick covered with toilet paper.

"Why is there a cup of pee on our sink counter?" Joe asks Mika in confusion causing Mika to laugh.

"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry, I forgot it was still there. Just ignore that." Mika says with a nervous chuckle.

Joe looks in the trash and sees a pregnancy test box.

"You got a pregnancy test? When?" Joe asks Mika sorry and Mika's cheek turn bright red.

"Remember when Rachel came over a few days ago?" Mika asks Joe and Joe nods.

"Yeah, when she and Dave came over for dinner." Joe says as he rubs Mika's waist.

"Well, I asked her to buy me two pregnancy tests. I know we are super old to have anymore kids but I just wanted to make sure before I go to the doctors. I didn't want to go to the doctors and find out that way if I am." Mika explains to Joe and he nods, carefully listening to what she is saying.

"Do you think you are pregnant? You have obviously had two kids, so you know how it feels." Joe asks Mika as he rubs her cheek.

"I don't think I am but the way I have been feeling I felt the same way with Emilie and Carlie, especially Emilie. I was so sick with her during the first trimester." Mika says to Joe softly.

"Oh, so there is a possibility then?" Joe asks Mika, a bit taken back by the thought of having another child at his age.

If Mika is pregnant, this will be Joe's fifth child and Mika's third.

"Not really, you know I'm fifty two. I hardly get my period regularly anymore, so I don't think it's possible really. I just wanted to be on the safe side and take a test." Mika says, scratching Joe's back.

"But still, there could be a little Scarborough baby in here." Joe says, stroking Mika's lower stomach.

Joe gives Mika a kiss on the forehead while he continues on stroke her tummy causing her to blush.

"I'd love to father your baby, Meek. I can imagine you being hot and pregnant, always sleeping naked and wanting me to rub you all over." Joe says with a smirk and kisses Mika on the lips, causing Mika to laugh.

"I'd love to have your baby too Joe, but I'm just saying that it won't happen. I'm too old for that, you should've picked a younger wife if you wanted that to happen." Mika says, kissing Joe and stroking his cheek.

"To bad I only wanted you then." Joe says and tucks Mika's hair behind her ear.

"And I wanted you." Mika says softly as she plays with Joe's hair, something she has always enjoyed doing.

Meatball walks into the bathroom and hops up on the counter behind Mika. He walks around and lays down in the sink. He sees the paper hanging over the edge of the cup and starts to play with it with his paw.

"No Meatball, don't touch that." Joe says and loses his grip on Mika.

Meatball precedes to pull the paper of the cup, causing it to tumble over and spill the pee on the sink counter.

"I'll clean it, I'll clean it." Mika says, embarrassed that her pee is all over the sink and counter.

"No no. I can clean it, honey. Why you don't sit down just in case you get nauseated again." Joe says as he begins to clean up the sink and counter with cleaner.

While Joe finishes cleaning up the sink, Mika throws up again.

Joe quickly washes his hands in the sink before he bends down and holds Mika's hair back while she throws up.

"I'm sorry, I know this is so gross." Mika says as she coughs.

"No no, it's fine, honey. I know you don't feel well. Throw up doesn't scare me." Joe says playfully, making Mika giggle as she catches her breath and she flushes the toilet.

"How long has it been since you did this?" Joe asks Mika, pointing at the pregnancy test.

"About five minutes ago. You have to wait three minutes for the results so it should be done now." Mika says to Joe.

"Do you want to look at it together?" Joe asks Mika as Mika's washes her face again.

"Y-Y-Yeah. I'm nervous and I don't know why. I know it's going to be very much negative." Mika says as she hugs Joe and Joe hugs her back.

"Well, whatever the result of the pregnant test is, I want you to know that I will always be right by your side and help you every step of the way. I love you so much." Joe says to Mika and Mika grins.

"I love you too, Joe. I love you very much." Mika says with a small grin.

"This is your choice if you want to carry the pregnancy too. I know my views are way different many years ago when I was in Congress but at the end of the day, I'm not the pregnant one, you will be." Joe says as Mika laughs.

"You have changed a lot and I'm proud of you for that." Mika says with a grin and Joe smiles.

Joe holds Mika in his arms and lays his head on her shoulder while Mika picks up the pregnancy test, still with the toilet paper on top of it.

Mika pulls away the toilet paper slowly and looks at the plastic pregnancy test stick.

"It's upside down." Mika laughs, a bit relived by the anti climax.

"Well, should we turn around and see then?" Joe asks, giving Mika a kiss on the shoulder.

"Yeah, I guess so. We have to know." Mika says, looking up at Joe and Joe looks at Mika.

Mika flips around the pregnancy test and stares at the small window on the test. There's two clear pink lines, a clear positive.

"There's two lines." Joe says and waits for Mika's reaction.

Mika is startled and choked, unable to say or think of anything.

"That means positive right?" Joe asks, not 100% sure since there's been some time since he last saw a pregnancy test.

"Yeah, it's positive." Mika is able to get out, clearly shocked by the unexpected answer.

"Are you okay, honey?" Joe asks Mika softly and Mika nods.

"Y-Y-Yeah I'm okay. I'm just r-r-really shocked honestly and I'm actually scared." Mika say softly to Joe.

"Why are you scared?" Joe asks Mika as Mika begins to cry.

"Because I wasn't expecting this! We have so much going on with all of our kids and Tia's kids and my mom and our show and it's just scary being pregnant at a later age because so much could go wrong." Mika says as she begins to cry into Joe's chest.

"Hey, shh shh shh. It's okay, Meek. It's okay. I know it's going to be a huge adjustment in our lives and in our routine but I think we are going to be just fine. We have a lot of supportive family members and a ton of friends. You know it's takes a village to raise a child." Joe says as Mika nods.

"Y-Y-Yeah." Mika says softly to Joe.

"And maybe this baby was a gift from my mom and dad and your dad and Tia." Joe says as he rubs Mika's cheeks, wiping the tears away from her eyes.

"It's okay Meek, we will take it easy. We don't have to do anything about it now if you don't want to. I mean, it would probably be wise to see a doctor very soon but we don't have to rush it. And then, we might need to tell someone at work since you might have doctors appointments you have to go to in the mornings and..." Joe rambles on as he pets Meatball.

"Joe, slow down. Take it easy. I'll go see the doctor as soon as I can. Just calm down so that we can process this" Mika interrupts Joe, trying to calm him down.

"It seems like you got more riled up about this than I thought." Mika says with a smile at Joe.

Mika strokes Joe's hair and kisses him. She rests her hand on the back of Joe's neck.

"You'll be such and amazing dad to this little one, just like you are to Joey, Andrew, Kate and Jack. Just take it easy and we will figure it out." Mika says to Joe and strokes her stomach.

"It's still surreal, I didn't think we could do something like that anymore." Joe says, letting out a deep breath.

"I guess I was more shocked than I thought I would be" Joe says and wraps his arms around Mika's waist.

"How about we go downstairs and make some breakfast? I'm hungry now that my nausea has stopped." Mika says kissing Joe's cheek.

"That sounds like a great idea, honey. We need to get you properly feed now that your growing our baby." Joe says and kisses the top of Mika's head.

Mika grabs her iPhone and takes a few pictures of the positive pregnancy test causing Joe to chuckle.

"We should take a picture so we remember this. Whatever way it goes." Joe says as Mika nods, smiling at Joe.

"You know I love my selfies and pictures." Mika  says with a giggle.

Mika and Joe both pose for a selfie with them doing shocked faces as they hold the pregnancy test.

"I love you, Joe." Mika says softly to Joe and Joe smiles.

"I love you too, Meek." Joe says as he kisses Mika a few times.

Joe and Mika clean up the bathroom before heading downstairs to make breakfast for each other, spending the rest of the day together! :)
