It's been a weird few days. Pregnant doesn't honestly feel like not pregnant, really - she's been told that, for most women, the sickness and shit kicks in around week six, so she's got a few weeks to go. It's early days yet, and Alex knows that a lot could go wrong between now and the end, so she's trying not to think about it as a thing that's too permenant. With her belly still flat under her hoodie, it's easy enough to ignore.

When Hopper texts her to ask her how she is, she asks him over to Black Elm. He hasn't been out to the house yet, and Danny's at the museum all day, so it feels like a good time to catch up. The sun hits the back of the house just right at this time of the day, and there's a tonne of pleasant places to sit.

Honestly, she could do with the company.

Hopper knows he's been distracted lately. With Eleven arriving in Darrow, he's had to make a couple changes, working with City Hall to have her legally shifted to his care, her birth certificate helping with that. But he also knows they don't have enough space anymore.

Two kids, a dog, and him. A two bedroom apartment just isn't cutting it anymore, so he's been looking at his finances, trying to work out what sort of down payment he has for a house and in about a week, they're going to start looking at places.

Having a coffee with Alex and just sitting down for a bit is a welcome break. Especially since he's never seen her place. Once he arrives and puts the car in park, he heads up to the door to knock.
