I wake up to the smell of bacon and then to the urge to throw up. As soon as I stand up, I immediately run to the bathroom. A few minutes later, Mel is next to me holding my hair.

Mel: are you okay Lo?
Loren: yeah, maybe it was something I ate
Mel: come on Loren! I'm not dumb. The minute I started cooking the bacon you started making weird noises and turning in your sleep. Don't you think the dizziness and throwing up are symptoms to something else
Loren: to what?
Mel: Loren! Don't you think you might be pregnant?
Loren: Mel! That's impossible
Mel: why? I don't see why it isn't possible
Loren: *blushing* because Eddie and I always use protection
Mel: but even you have to know that's not always effective. Have you been late?
Loren: ummm... Now that I think about it, I am a few days late but it's just because I've been stressed lately. Whatever Mel! I'm not pregnant, okay
Mel: take a pregnancy test then, just to make sure
Loren: ok Mel! I'm not pregnant though

Now that Mel mentioned that I might be pregnant, I'm starting to get worried. What she said is true, those are symptoms of being pregnant. Mel already went to buy the test and I get more and more nervous as the minutes pass. What am I going to do if I am in fact pregnant?

*Mel returns to the apartment with the test*

Mel: okay Lo, go take the test. The instructions are on the back
Loren: Mel! I'm so nervous. What if I'm pregnant?
Mel: you don't know anything for sure yet so don't worry
Loren: okay then, I guess I'll go take it now

*Loren takes the test and then comes out of the bathroom*

Mel: how did it go?
Loren: I don't know... I have to wait five minutes. Mel! I'm freaking out? What will I do if I'm pregnant
Mel: even if you're pregnant Lo, I know Eddie and all of us will always be here for you
Loren: oh my god! What will I tell Eddie? What if leaves me?
Mel: I'm sure that's not going to happen

*the timer goes off*

Loren: I guess it's time to check *heart beating fast*
Mel: okay, let's go check
*they look at the test*
Loren: Mel! I'm...
Mel: you're not pregnant
Loren: *sigh of relief* I was so scared. I want to be a mom someday, but I don't think I'm ready
Mel: you're not pregnant, but I still think you should see a doctor. What's happening to you isn't normal
Loren: ok Mel, let's go see a doctor later. I'll make the appointment.
*makes the appointment*
Mel: so did you get an appointment?
Loren: yeah, it's at 3:30

Mel and I the make breakfast and eat. After that, we get ready and while waiting until it's time to leave, we watch a few movies.

*phone rings*

Loren: wait! Can you pause it Mel? Someone is calling me?
Mel: sure, who is it?
Loren: *smiling* Eddie
Mel: *smirking* ooh lover boy, I guess I have to leave now so you can talk to him privately
Loren: thanks Mel

*on the phone*

Eddie: hey Lo
Loren: hi Eddie! How did your concert go?
Eddie: *acting weird* oh it went great
Loren: are you sure? You're acting weird
Eddie: yes don't worry. *changing the subject* anyways, what are you doing today?
Loren: oh Mel and I are going out
Eddie: that sounds like fun *in the background* Jake: Eddie! Hurry up! You have to get ready for sound check
Loren: you have to go huh?
Eddie: ugh yeah, I have to get ready for sound check
Loren: good luck then! I love you
Eddie: I love you too Loren. No matter what happens, you'll always be the only woman I love
Loren: is everything okay Eddie? You're acting kinda weird today
Eddie: yes everything's okay. I gotta go now
Loren: okay bye
Eddie: bye

After the call ends I look at the phone in confusion. Eddie wasn't acting like normal today... I wonder what's going on with him

Mel: Loren! It's a phone, you don't have to look at it with so much confusion
Loren: it's not that... Anyways, it's almost time for the appointment
Mel: did you tell Eddie about it?
Loren: No
Mel: why not?!
Loren: because I'm sure there's nothing wrong and I don't want to worry him
Mel: I think you should have told him, but whatever Lo, that's your decision
Loren: are you ready to go?
Mel: yeah, let me just get my purse
Loren: okay

After Mel gets her purse we head
out to my car and start driving to the doctors office. Once we get there I go to the the doctor assistant's desk

Loren: excuse me, I have an appointment with Dr. Smith at 3:30
D.A: oh my god! You're Loren Tate
Loren: *smiling* yeah that's me
D.A: can I please get an autograph? *gives her a paper*
Loren: sure *signs the paper*
D.A: thank you! You're really nice. The doctor will see you now
Loren: okay, thank you

*at the doctor's office*

Doctor: so what seems to be the problem today?
Loren: Well, I felt dizzy two times yesterday and then today I threw up in the morning
Doctor: okay, let me take some tests.
*doctor takes tests on Loren*
Doctor: I think I know what's wrong with you
Loren: what is it doctor?
Doctor: you seem to be...
Loren: I seem to be what?!
Doctor: pregnant...
