Loren and Eddie got to the hospital where Nora was at. Max meets them in the waiting area.

Loren: Max, is she ok? What happened?

Max: I'm not sure. She was in the bathroom when I heard a loud noise, so I went to check on her and she was unconscious on the floor. I called an ambulance. She had not woken up yet. The doctor is in with her now.

Loren: When can I see her?

Max: I'm sure once the doctor is done in there we can go in. She will be ok Loren.

Loren: Thanks Max. I'm so glad you were there with her. What if she was by herself? It could have been so bad. I'm going to call Mel and let her know what's going on.

Loren called Mel. Mel and Adam rushed over to the hospital.

Mel: Lo, is she ok? Have you seen her yet?

Loren: No, the doctor will be done with her shortly and then we can see her.

Adam: I'm sorry Loren; I hope Nora will be ok.

Loren: Thanks Adam, and thank you both for coming. I need my best friends right now.

Dr. Chan: Hello, are you Nora's daughter?

Loren: Yes, that's me. Is my mom ok? What happened to her? Is she awake?

Dr. Chan: She is awake now. I have evaluated her and she will be ok. She asked me not to share anything with you guys, she wanted to be the one to talk to everyone. You may go in to see her now.

Loren: Thank you so much.

Loren and everyone went in to see Nora. She was in bed hooked up to an IV. It scared Loren to see her mom this way. What would she do if she ever lost her mother?

Loren: Mom, What's going on? Are you ok?

Nora: Lo, I will be ok. I just got dehydrated. Everything will be fine.

Max: There is more to the story. Your mother has been trying to hide something from you.

Loren: Why would you hide anything from me, mom? What's going on with you?

Nora: Well Loren and Eddie, you see, I just have a hard time telling you that you two will be sharing a sibling. Max and I are expecting a baby. (Max was holding Nora's hand)

Loren: Oh my god, are you serious? That is great news mom. It's a little weird but very exciting. You shouldn't have been scared to tell us.

Eddie: Come here pops, give me a hug. Congrats to both of you. I have always wanted a brother. Nora, you make sure it's a boy, ok.

Mel: Oh my god, Lo. I will have a little niece of nephew and you are getting a sister or brother.

Loren: apparently I already have 2 sisters and one on the way in a couple weeks.

Nora: Trent had more kids? He left one behind to have 3 more? That man has some nerve. When did you find this out?

Loren: Trent had texted me a little while ago, so I called him to see what he was talking about in his text. I have twin sisters Ellie and Lilly who are 5, and like I said the other one will be here in a couple of weeks.

Nora: wow, just, wow. I didn't think he would ever have any more kids. I hope he sticks around for these ones.

Loren: Do you think I should meet them?

Nora: If you feel you should, then do it. They are your sisters. I bet they would just love you.

Loren: Why is Trent trying to know me now? He could have done these 5 years ago when he first had them. He says he has money and that is not why he wants to talk with me. Why now?

Eddie: Maybe he just realized he doesn't want to miss out on knowing his amazing daughter anymore.

Max: Loren, just be cautious of him. I don't know him but anyone who can walk out on their kid, is someone who doesn't deserve a lot of trust.

Loren: I know Max, thanks. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. But if I have sisters out there, I think I would like to know them. It's crazy how yesterday I was an only child and now I have 4 siblings.

Eddie: You always wanted a big family right? There you go. Pops what are you hoping for? Boy or girl.

Max: A healthy child. No matter what it is, it will be beautiful just like its mother.

Eddie: how about you Nora?

Nora: Same as your father. But since I already have a daughter a son would be nice.

Mel: So if Eddie and Loren get married, this child will have her brother and sister, who will also be her brother and sister in law. Ha-ha. Your family is just as crazy as mine now.

Eddie: What do you mean if? It's only a matter of time.

Mel: Look at this rock star, he thinks he knows everything.

Eddie: I do.

Mel: How cute. Apparently you haven't been around me enough, because I am the one who thinks I know everything. It's time for me to get home for dinner. I don't want Lisa to freak out on me. Hope you feel better Nora and congratulations again to you and Max! Come on Adam.

Adam: Good bye everyone, congrats Nora and Max. Eddie, it's good to see you again.

Loren: Hey can you guys come over to Eddies tonight? I would love for us to hang out together.

Adam: I'm sure Mel can, but I really need to study for the finals.

Loren: Mel?

Mel: Well you know I'm not going to study much. I will see you later on tonight.

Loren and Eddie stayed at the hospital a while longer. They were going to keep Nora overnight just to keep an eye on her. They all discussed baby names; it's way too early to know whether it's a boy or girl so they came up with a few options for both. They all agreed if it was a girl, Katie would be perfect. Max loved how much Nora respected Katie, most women would never agree to something like that but this was Nora's idea. Katie Lynn Duran was everyone's favorite. Before Loren and Eddie left, Max asked to see Eddie in private.

Eddie: What's up pops?

Max: Well I just wanted to make sure you are ok with this?

Eddie: yeah, of course I am. Nora is great, I love her. She is perfect for you and I think it's great you two will have your own little family.

Max: What do you think if I ask her to marry me?

Eddie: Even better. Nora will be the best step mom. Now pops just so we are clear, I don't want to hear from you or Nora how me and Loren are rushing things…Ha-ha. You two move fast.

Max: yeah well we are a lot older and wiser. When you are young it's a little different. But I have always supported you and Loren being together.

Loren and Eddie left the hospital and went back to Eddies place. Loren had plans for Mel to come over, and Eddie's friend Ian had called and wanted him to go out with him, so that was their plans for the night. Loren and Eddie had dinner together before their friends stopped by.
