It's been a few days since Sinsmas, and everyone is excited for the New Years. But Millie still has something she needs to get off her chest to everyone, starting with her husband, Moxxie.

She recently found out she was pregnant, which terrified her. She and Moxxie barely talked about having kids, how were they going to raise this one? And what about their jobs as assassins? Would they ever be able to work at I.M.P. again? All of this worried Millie to no end, but she knew panicking wouldn't solve anything. She needed to take it one step at a time with this, starting by informing Moxxie about it. He'd find out sooner or later, what with her belly growing and all.

So, after talking with her sister, and doing some thinking, she decided to break the news before New Years.

“Morning honey. Still feeling the Sinsmas spirit?” Moxxie asked as he strolled in the kitchen and kissed Millie's cheek. She just hummed and nodded before turning back to her mug. She took a deep breath before saying, "hey, um, Mox?" Moxxie turned around before she continued, "I, um... there's something I have to tell you."

Moxxie got worried and stepped closer toward her. He placed a hand on her shoulder before asking, "you okay Millie?"

Millie silently nodded before taking something out from her pocket and showing it to him. What he saw made his eyes widened in shock: a positive pregnancy test.

He stared at it for a few moments, not knowing what to say. This was clearly making Millie anxious.

"Sweetie... you - you ok? Say somethin'... please." 

Moxxie finally looked at his wife and just stuttered in surprise. "A-are you serious? We...we're actually gonna be parents?!" He asked with a smile starting to grow on his face. This made Millie ease up a little.

"Yep."

"Wow, I... I don't even know what to say. It's... it's incredible, it's - kinda nerve-racking, it's - it's... wow." He just sighed as he sank into one of the chairs in the kitchen. 

"I know all of this is very... sudden Mox," she said, placing a hand through his hair, "but we'll find some way to make this work. I hope." Millie looked down at the floor worriedly, about what would happen in the future.

Moxxie quickly noticed and pulled her in a hug. "Of course we will," he whispered in a comforting tone.

At that moment, all their worries seemed to have washed away. They knew that as long as they had each other, raising this kid wouldn't be impossible. They could think about how they'd tell the rest of the I.M.P. crew later.
