AN: I know I haven't been updating for a while. I have been so busy with school and moving that I didn't have time to update. I also didn't have internet for a while. I will definitely try to post sooner to keep you guys reading. I need three more reviews to post the next chapter. It can't be three posts from one person. It has to be three people. Please feel free to tell me what you think should happen or your opinion on this. Your reviews mean everything to me and I read them all. I love you guys and enjoy!

Without music, life would be a mistake. Just a quote I heard and it reminded me of HH.

Instead of going to Rumor like they had planned; Loren, Eddie, and Ian stay at Eddie's penthouse and Loren made pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon. Ian and Eddie tried to help but Loren made them set the table instead because they weren't the best cooks and since Loren was the only one who could cook, she needed all people out of the kitchen so she could be in her element in peace. Just then she felt a pair of strong arms snake around her waist and someone rest their head on her shoulder.

"If this isn't Eddie, I don't know how I'm going to explain this." She joked.

"Ha-ha. Very funny Mrs. Duran." Eddie mocked.

"Why thank you Mr. Duran."

Eddie chuckled and kissed Loren's cheek.

"I have to admit this smells amazing," Eddie said he stole a piece of bacon.

"Mmmmm! That's really good!"

"Hey! Wait until I'm done!" she scolded as she playfully slapped his butt.

"Hey!" Eddie laughed.

Loren ran of the kitchen with a plate of pancakes and eggs. Eddie ran after her and as soon as she put the plates down, he grabbed her and whispered into her ear.

"Game on, Beautiful."

And with that he walked off planning on how he would her back. He couldn't believe how easy it was with her. She was just like his mom and he never compared anyone to his mom because he thought that no one could compare but here was this beautiful, funny, sweet, and stubborn woman that he was going to marry and she looked and acted so much like Katy! A couple of minutes later Loren called the boys in to eat and they ran to the table to eat and started basically inhaling the food.

"Slow down before you two choke!" Loren laughed.

"This is really good, Valley Girl! Good job!" Ian complimented.

Loren laughed at her nickname. She knew it grated Eddie's nerves but she thought it was cute and she liked it. It helps her remember where she came from and who she is and she is grateful for that.

"Thank you, Ian. I'm glad you like it."

"You are very welcome and the dishes are Eddie and I's. Don't worry about them."

Loren was surprised by the gesture but still thanked him. She didn't peg Ian for the helper kind of guy but that just shows you that you never truly know everything about someone until you spend A LOT of time with them

Eddie couldn't believe his ears. Did Ian just offer to clean up? I know he said that I would be helping but none the less, holy shit! I never thought that I would see the day where Ian would help out.

Once they were done, Loren went to take a shower and the boys cleaned breakfast up. After Loren hopped out, Eddie hopped in and Ian took one in the guest bathroom while Eddie was taking a shower as well so that left Loren with her thoughts for a while. She kept thinking about the wedding and got out a bank notebook and started writing down ideas. She found the perfect dress on the tablet she brought while getting the notebook. She wanted to have a beautiful dress with lace. She wanted it elegant.

AN: Here is the link to the dress I found for her. Tell me if I should have her change her mind.

i01. .

She was thinking about the flowers when she heard Eddie call her name. She then ran upstairs.

"Eddie, what's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong. I just realized that we never got a chance to tell Pops and Ma last night. Well Pops knows because I asked him for the ring but Mama Nora doesn't know and neither do your friends."

AN: Nora and Max got married 2 months after the finale.

"OH MY GOD! I never told Mel!" Loren panicked. "My life is officially over because Mel is going to kill me!"

"Babe," Eddie chuckled, "Don't worry. We can invite everyone to dinner tonight and we can tell them all together, okay? It doesn't have to be too fancy. We can just go to Rumor"

"Thank you so much!" Loren sighed, "I will call Mel and Adam, then Aid and Phil. Can you handle Pops and Ma?

"Yeah, I got them and you take care of your friends. Do you want me to call Mel so that way you don't have to deal with the screaming?"

"No. I'm not going to tell her over the phone. She will just have to be okay with finding out along with everyone else and she won't be able to scream in a public place. Not that that hasn't stopped her before," Loren pointed out.

Eddie laughed and hugged Loren and kissed her forehead.

"I happen to think that your friends are pretty cool, Wifey"

Loren laughed. "Why thank you, my hubby. You know though that Mel is a little of a wild child so let me reign her in. Is Ian coming?

"I don't think he can. I think he is meeting up with some people to talk business."

"What kind of business?"

"Probably just setting up a photo shoot or something."

Just then Ian came downstairs.

"Hey, Mates. What are you two lovebirds chatting about?"

"You," Loren answered. "Why won't you be able to join us for dinner tonight? You better have a damn good reason," Loren joked.

Ian didn't notice that Loren was teasing him and started to freak out a little.

"Ummmm! I am so sorry, Lo. It's just that I have a meeting with my agent because he lives here and he wants to talk to me about going back to Milan tonight or early tomorrow morning so I can't make it. I really am so sorry you guys. Please don't be mad."

Loren and Eddie started to laugh and once they calmed themselves down, Eddie was the one to reply to him.

"Dude, it's okay. She was just messing with you. Couldn't you tell?

"No I couldn't," Ian got all defensive and mocked Eddie a little. "Not all of us know your girl the way you do."

Eddie got what Ian was insinuating and started to playfully rough house with Ian until Loren Laughed and mocked them both.

"Ladies, you're both pretty now stop fighting."

"Oh so now the valley girl has jokes," Ian asked," You know what that means right, Ed?"

"I sure do Ian," Eddie replied, "PAYBACK!"

Eddie then ran after Loren and started tickling her. She was laughing so hard that she couldn't catch her breath even though she tried to run away, Ian had blocked her and Eddie got her.

"Okay! I surrender," Loren squealed while giggling.

Eddie then planted a passionate and fiery kiss onto Loren's lips and then just held her.

"That is a wise choice. That is payback for what you said and earlier." Eddie said.

Loren playfully slapped Eddie on the chest then Ian had to go so they all said their goodbyes and Ian left. Loren and Eddie watched a movie until dinner which was at seven.

At Dinner

Everyone was making idle chit chat at the table until Eddie cleared his throat rather loudly then all eyes were on him and Loren as they both stood.

"So we know this is kind of short notice, calling this dinner about three hours before it was supposed to happen and we thank you guys so much for coming. It means a lot to both Loren and me."

"So we have an announcement," Loren picked up when Eddie paused, "So we just wanted to tell you guys that Eddie and I are…..GETTING MARRIED!" Loren squealed as she held up her left hand. All of the girls squealed and awed at the ring while the guys patted Eddie on the back and congratulated them.

Everyone sat down after a little and then someone came up to Eddie.

"Hey, sweetie. How have you been?" The person asked.

"What the hell do you want, Lia and why are you here?"

At the mention of Lia's name Loren started to study the girl. She remembered the shame and guilt written on Eddie's face when he told her that they had kissed. He had thought that he had cheated but Loren told Eddie that he didn't cheat and that there was nothing to forgive because he told her that he had pushed Lia away and tried to explain that he had a girlfriend. She also knew that there were some crazy fans who would kiss Eddie and she told him that if it didn't mean anything to him and that he only wanted to kiss Loren then there was nothing to forgive and she promised him that she would still love him even if someone else forced themselves onto him when he didn't want them to. It was weird though that she was calling him sweetie. It gave her a bad vibe and when Lia started to make a face of disgust at Loren, Loren decided to figure out why.

"I just wanted to see how my favorite rock star was doing. I heard you were going to be here but I thought it would be with Jake or someone along those lines." Lia remarked while studying Loren as if she was deciding is she could call Loren human.

"Is there something that you would like to day to me or are you just going to keep giving me dirty looks?" Loren asked.

"I just don't know why Eddie is dating you. You are just so untalented and ugly."

"Excuse me?" Loren asked.

"You heard me! You have no talent, you look hideous, and you probably didn't know that Eddie and I had a hot and passionate make out session that would have been more had I not stopped Eddie."

"Well from what I was told. You tried to make out with Eddie and HE pushed YOU away so why do you have to lie?" Loren replied.

Lia kept talking smack to Loren and pretty soon Loren had had enough. Eddie and the rest of their group were so shocked that they almost didn't stop Loren until she was about to get into a fight with Lia. Just before Loren was about to punch her, Eddie pulled her by the waist and turned her at the same time so she was facing him and against him. Then he kissed her very passionately and Loren immediately calmed down. It almost leads to a make out but Eddie stopped it and spoke to Lia. As he spoke, he held onto Loren Semi-loosely and semi-tightly that way he wouldn't yell.

"Lia, I forgot to tell you just now that last night I proposed to Loren and we are getting married."

"YOU WHAT?!" Lia was fuming mad.

"That's right so now could you please leave me and my Fiancée to our dinner before I have the cops arrest you and Jeremy for aiding a former fugitive. I know that I am not one now but I'm pretty sure that they will still arrest you. Now, stop while you're ahead."

"I know you love me and don't mean that. I also know that you don't love this immature little girl so let me take her off of your hands."

Lia went after Loren who was still in Eddie's arms and actually tried to kill Loren. Eddie pushed Loren behind him and went after Lia. Once he pinned her down, which didn't take long at all, Loren called the cops and she was arrested for attempted murder. That night was completely crazy and as soon as Lia was in jail. Everyone was making sure that Eddie and Loren were okay. Once Loren convinced her mom to let her stay the night with Eddie they went home and went to bed.

The next morning, Eddie woke up before Loren did and just watched her. He loved to watch her sleep because she was so beautiful when she slept. He wasn't saying that she wasn't beautiful when she was awake. He had walked into that one before and Loren teased him for it. He thought she was beautiful all of the time. Just then, Loren woke up interrupting Eddie's thoughts.

"Hey. Good morning handsome."

"Good Morning Beautiful."

"What were you thinking about before I woke up?"

"About how beautiful you are and how happy I am that I am marrying you."

"Good answer," Loren teased.

"Ha ha. So I have a serious question for you."

Loren started to get scared a little bit.

"What?" She asked.

"Move in with me."

"That is not a question, Mr. Duran."

Fine, Mrs. Duran, Will you please move in with me? You already have clothes here and you are here all of the time anyway. And we are getting married."

"Oh fine. I guess I could do that."

"You guess, huh?" Eddie asked.

"Yep."

"Thank you and I love you." Eddie said and kissed her

"I love you too, but why are you thanking me?"

"For tolerating me. You went through all of what you did last night and all of my crazy fans. I don't deserve someone as wonderful and understanding as you."

"Well you are very welcome."

With that, Loren got up and went to take a shower while Eddie made coffee to help start their day.

After Loren got out of the shower she called her mom to tell her the news. She didn't think her mom would mind seeing as how Pops lives in her house now.

"Hey, Mom."

Hey. Sweetie."

"So Eddie asked me to move in with him is that okay?"

"Of course not!"

Loren was panicked. She started to get angry and sad.

"Why not," She asked in a snappy-ish tone.

"I won't have anyone to stay up late with to drink herbal tea and watch one of the eighties movies that those Duran Boys got us hooked on."

Loren then calmed down and laughed.

"You scared me, Mom! I thought that I was going to have to pull out the 'I'm the eighteen and almost nineteen in two weeks' card."

"Sweetie," Nora started, "I would never tell you no if I know that you would be safe and happy at the same time."

"Thank you for being the best mom in the universe!"

Nora laughed then they said their goodbyes and hung up. After Breakfast Loren told Eddie that she was going to have a girls' day out with Mel and Adrianna. Eddie pouted but told her that he was going to work on music but didn't want her to spend the whole day with the girls because he wanted her to help him with his and her music. She told him that she would go out until three because Loren wanted to work on music as well. Loren kissed Eddie good bye and went to go hang out with her best friends.

AN: I know that there is no cliffhanger but I couldn't think of any good ones. Do you like that I brought Lia in then kicked her out as soon as I brought her in? Hehehe. I never liked her in the show. Let me know what you think and don't worry, Ian will be coming back and next time I will actually bring Mel and Adrianna in. I think I might do the wedding for the next chapter. Please review and feel free to PM me ideas. I love to get inspiration from other people. Another quote I heard was 'Be yourself because everyone else is taken.' Thanks!

Love,
