Okay, so it's been a while and I'm glad everyone liked the first chapter. I'm not sure if I left out any details that I meant to put in but your reviews didn't really cue that so here's the second chapter!
All three stopped and Loren was the first to turn around and face the kid that said it. She saw several, but only one had the biggest smirk.
"Why you little-." Loren started but Alex interrupted her.
'Mom!" She exclaimed. When the boy smirked again after Loren and Eddie looked at her. "Allow me. It's not my school anyway, anymore." She walked up to the kid and raised her hand and slapped him. "Talk about my family again and I'll do much worse." She growled and walked out with her parents.
When they got home, everyone saw they had Alex with them again.
"What happened?" Max asked.
"A lot of people are sending her notes, talking about Loren and they aren't signed so they can't do anything so Loren, Alex, and I have decided we'd just get her a private teacher and to keep Amber and this baby, we're just doing the same. I mean, we still have our careers, we can afford it." Eddie told him.
"Speaking of careers, Jake called.
"Oh no." Eddie said.
"He wants to meet you in the office and Kelly can come here to the house. They say they need to talk about songs and albums."
"When? Because I want to go to this appointment with Loren in like, an hour, and I know jake, he can go on and on about my career."
"I'm insulted." A voice said and they turned and saw Jake and Kelly coming in the door.
"If we can get started now, you can still make the appointment." Kelly said.
"Then let's get started. Separate?" Eddie said and Jake nodded.
"You and I will go in the kitchen while Kelly and Loren stay in here." Jake said and Eddie and Jake went to the kitchen and Max went upstairs.
"So, are you writing any songs?"
"I have four that I am currently writing, but I don't want to share the with anyone just yet. Not until they're done."
"Not even a little bit?"
"Nope. I'm sorry, Kelly, but I'm not even going to share them with anyone, even Eddie. One is a duet but I don't know who the other person will be yet."
In the kitchen, Jake was wondering if Eddie knew anything about Loren's writing.
"So, has Loren told you about any songs?"
"No. I see her writing all the time, but I respect her privacy enough to write without reading the lyrics over her shoulder or snooping through her song book."
"Well, you are her husband." Jake said. "You stick by her in everything." Suddenly, the door opened.
"We need to go, Eddie." Loren said.
"Alright. We'll talk more later, Jake." Eddie said and he and Loren left and got in the car.
"Do you think they'll be able to tell the sex?"
"Maybe. You're about sixteen weeks, right?"
"Yeah. I really hope so. I can't wait to find out."
"And we get home. we need to start searching for a private teacher. School just started for everyone else so she needs to be at the same pace."
"I agree."
"Who was she named after?" Eddie asked her.
"Nora and my best childhood friend, before I met Melissa, Marie. Nora's name is Nora Alexandra Tate and my best friends name was Marie Elizabeth Sawyer."
"Amazing. The Amber was named after your friend who committed suicide."
"Yeah. I miss her, but she made me strong, which I really need."
'I love you." Eddie told her
"I love you too." Loren said back and leaned over and kissed his cheek since he was driving.
"What if it's a boy? What do you want to name him?" Eddie asked Loren.
"I'd really like to name him Lucas. He was only of the only people who didn't see me as 'the pregnant girl' or didn't make fun of me. Then maybe Max's name. Lucas Max Duran?"
"That's a good name." Eddie told her, not bothering to mention what he had heard between Amy and Loren. "And a girl?"
"Well, I really would like to switch up the names, so nothing with A. Maybe Destiny? Or Angel? Maybe something like Hope or Faith?" Loren named off but then they both started laughing.
"Lots of church names." Eddie said, laughing.
"Well, anyway, I have a feeling it's a boy. Mother's intuition."
"I'd like to have a boy. We already have two girls."
"So how many children would you like to have, Mr. Duran?" Loren turned to him.
"As many as you want, Mrs. Duran. We have a nine-year old and a six month year old and another on the way. I think we can go for at least three more after this one." He said and Loren at him.
"Are you joking?" She asked, her eyes wide.
"Maybe." He chuckled. "Maybe not."
"Six kids?"
"The years spread apart. After this one, maybe another two or three years, the two or three after that, then maybe two or three after that."
"Let's just deal with the one we have now." Loren chuckled and they pulled up the building. They both got out and Eddie opened the door for Loren and he walked in behind her. It was a bit empty for one woman who look very pregnant and with a little boy about nine years old.
"Come on, Bailey. Sit still." The woman said and Loren gasped.
"Marie?" Loren said and the woman looked up.
"Loren?" She smiled and they both stood up and hugged each other.
"It's so great to see you." Eddie stood up and looked at them.
"Marie?" he asked Loren.
"I lied. Marie wasn't my best friend in my childhood. She was my best friend when I went to a school for pregnant teenagers." Marie extended her hand to Eddie and he shook it.
"Nice to meet you, Eddie."
"Marie was sixteen, but we still became best friends."
"YOu went to a school for pregnant teenagers."
"For about three months. I didn't go until I was about five months pregnant so I left the school after that." Loren told him and turn to Marie. "Have you heard from any of the other girls?" Loren asked.
"Just Elizabeth, Carly, and Emma." Marie said.
"Maybe the four of us could hang out sometime. At least where I'm not constantly on my leg. Do the other kids have anymore kids?"
"No. Just the ones they had at school, but Emma's married.
"Really? Did she marry Marcus?"
"Yep. He's been a great father. Better than any of the guys we all had." Marie rolled her eyes.
"So who the father?" Loren asked.
"I stupidly had a one night stand with Anthony, when he charmed me into thinking we should get back together but when I told him I was pregnant, he left town, not even saying good-bye to me. You really hit the jackpot with Eddie." She told her and Eddie chuckled and smiled.
"Marie Sullivan?" A nurse said, opening the door and Marie looked at her.
"One second." Marie said to her and grabbed a pen and wrote a number on Loren's hand. "Sorry. I have no paper, but this is my number." Marie smiled and walked away with Bailey, waving. Loren smiled as the odor shut and she and Eddie sat down.
"So Marie is actually a friend you made when you were pregnant?"
"Yeah. Sorry that I lied, but I usually don't tell anyone I went to a school for pregnant teens, because I'm judged."
"Loren Duran?" A nurse said and Eddie and Loren stood up and walked back to the room and Loren laid on the table and Eddie sat on the chair besides her. "You're showing quite a bit, Mrs. Duran."
"I know. I thought it was a bit weird since I started showing around eighteen to twenty weeks with my other pregnancies."
"Then let's see what's going on." She grabbed the gel and put some on her stomach and looked at the monitor as she went back and forth. "Huh?" She said.
"What?" Loren asked, looking at the monitor and she spotted what she meant.
"Oh my freaking god." Loren said aloud. Eddie looked over and he saw it too.
"Oh my god." He said in a quieter voice then Loren.
"This explains the showing. Congratulations. You are expecting triplets."
Okay, maybe I went a bit overboard with the triplets, but I was thinking, "Hey, if I put triplets in, my story will be really unique!" Even though my story is already unique because of the story line.
Well, if you object, speak now or forever hold your peace!
