Summary
His first name is Jim but she hasn’t really ever heard anyone call him that, except for once on the phone when she picked it up without thinking. Besides, she doesn’t like the way that word feels in her mouth, cold and weird like an untoasted eggo.
Everyone else calls him Hopper, but she doesn’t want to be everyone else. There’s something about what she calls him that should be different, she thinks.
But she also knows that he’s already been a dad, once, to Sara, who is gone now. She’s not sure he can just pick up being a dad again the way she picks a new sweater.

Summary
She squeezes his arm. “It’s not just you and El against the world any more, you know? You have people on your side -- both of you.” She tips her head down to meet his eyes. “You know that, right?”
It’s not a rhetorical question, though she wishes it could be. She knows she hadn’t been there for him in the last year, just when he’d needed her the most. She’d promised him no more secrets, then let them both retreat into each of theirs for a whole year.
She wants to make sure she doesn’t make that same mistake again.

Nancy picks up Mike from Hopper's cabin. Basically just Nancy interacting with Hopper, Mike and Eleven because S2 gave me far too few moments with them interacting.Series
