Chapter 10
Chicago, Traci's Town
The minute the tour buses pull up to the hotel in Chicago, Kelly is tense. "Kel, relax, you being tense isn't good for the baby." Jake says massaging her shoulders.
"You haven't seen or heard from her in months and now that we're here in Chicago, she wants to have dinner with you? How am I supposed to relax?" Kelly says moving away from Jake.
"If you don't want me to go, I won't go."
"You have to go, she hasn't signed the divorce papers yet and I'm guessing she wants to talk to you face to face and tell you why."
"Come with me."
"You're joking right?"
"No, come with me."
Nora, Max and Loren's Hotel Suite
Rehearsals ended early and Loren is tired. "All I want to do is take a shower, order room service and relax for the rest of the evening," she says to herself. Loren opens the door to the suite and gets the shock of her life, Max and Nora are making love on the couch. Loren quickly closes the door before they see her and leans with her back against the wall. "Oh My Gosh," Loren says to herself, "I'm traumatized for the rest of my life." She slowly lowers herself to the floor until she's sitting. She wraps her arms around her legs and rests her forehead on her knees. She sits like that for a few minutes when she feels someone tap her shoulder. "Leave me alone, I'm trying to forget about what I just saw," Loren says without lifting her head.
"Are you okay? Why are you sitting in the hallway?" Eddie asks.
"I walked in on Mom and Pop having sex on the couch, ewww, I fell asleep on that couch last night. Argh, I'm trying to get that picture out of my head. That's so embarrassing. I wish I could rewind then delete the last ten minutes of my life. All I want to do is take a shower, order room service and relax for the rest of the night." Loren is rambling.
Eddie's laughter makes Loren lift her head and glare at him. The look on Loren's face makes him laugh even harder. "I'm happy you see the humor in all of this. Did you not hear what I just said? Mom and Pop are gettin busy on the couch."
"Yeah, I heard you, and I think it's funny." Eddie says sitting next to Loren and laughing. Just then Loren's stomach growls, "Lo, do you want to come to my room and take a shower, order room service and relax for the rest of the night?" Eddie asks as he puts his arm around her shoulders.
Loren is about to say no but her stomach growls again and Nora and Max's love making can now be heard in the hallway. Loren quickly gets to her feet and runs towards Eddie's room.
Eddie gets to his feet laughing even harder than before and slowly follows Loren. "Can you stop laughing for five seconds and open the door?" Loren demands. Eddie pulls out his card key but is laughing so much tears are falling from his eyes. Loren snatches the card key from his hand and opens the door. "It's not funny Eddie," Loren says pouting.
"Yes it is," Eddie says sitting on the couch still laughing.
Jake and Kelly get to the restaurant early, they ask for a private table for three in the back of the room. They are talking when Jake spots Traci walk in. He stands up, waves his hand then freezes. Kelly looks at him then turns to look at Traci, her mouth drops open. Traci walks over to the table with apprehension in her eyes. As she approaches, Kelly stands up and Traci stops. Kelly places her hands on her baby bump just as Traci places her hands on her own baby bump.
"Jake. Kelly" Traci says as she recovers from her shock and joins them at the table.
"Traci." Jake and Kelly say as they sit down.
Eddie's Hotel Suite
"Can I borrow something to wear? I want to take a shower first." Loren says.
"Yeah, I'll leave something on the bed while you're in the shower." Eddie says still laughing. "I'll order something from room service, what do you want?"
"It doesn't matter," Loren says heading to the bathroom. Loren takes a long hot shower, when she gets out, she wraps a towel around her body and walks into the bedroom. On the bed, Eddie left his tan shorts, black muscle tee, a black dress sock and a white sweat sock. "I guess I deserve that," Loren laughs.
The Restaurant
No one is talking; Jake and Kelly are staring at Traci, as Traci looks back and forth between Jake and Kelly. "I guess I should be the first to break the silence," Traci says. "I know I owe you an explanation," she begins, "after I got the first test results back, I thought I wasn't pregnant. You and I had no reason to work things out so I moved here to Chicago. A month after being here, I still had not gotten my period so I went to the doctor. Turns out I was pregnant, I had to take a blood test to confirm. When I got home, I was about to call you and tell you the news but I was served with divorce papers so I decided I'd keep the pregnancy to myself. For months, my dad kept telling me I should tell you; you deserved to know."
"Is that why you haven't signed the divorce papers?" Jake asked.
"That's not the only reason, but yes, the baby is one of the reasons I'm not signing the divorce papers."
"What's the other reason?" Jake asks.
"I still love you Jake. I'm in love with you. I lost sight of our love and why I married you, but these months away from you made me realize why I fell in love with you, why we are compatible. I'm moving back home so we can work things out, and raise our baby together. I was wrong for leaving you, for not believing you, and I'm sorry." Traci says with tears in her eyes.
Jake is speechless, he doesn't know what to say.
"Do you know what you're having?" Kelly asks.
Traci locks eyes with Jake, "a boy."
Jake gets up from the table and walks out the restaurant. "What the hell am I supposed to do now?" he asks himself.
Eddie's Hotel Suite
Eddie is sitting on the couch waiting for Loren to come out of the bedroom. "I wonder what's taking her so long," he says to himself. "Loren, is everything okay? Did you see the clothes I left on the bed for you?" He calls out to Loren.
"Yeah, I see the clothes," Loren replies, "I'll be out in a minute." So he wants to play. "I got something for you Eddie Duran." Loren says dropping the towel and getting dressed.
There is a knock at the door, Eddie gets off the couch to answer the door; it's room service. "Where do you want this sir?" the bellmen asks.
"On the table please," Eddie says, handing him a tip after he sets the food tray on the table and heads out the door. Eddie's back is to the bedroom door so he doesn't see Loren come out.
"That smells good, what did you order?" Loren asks walking past him heading to the stereo; she hooks her phone up to the stereo and turns on some music. Eddie turns to answer her but pause. His mouth drops open and his eyes get big.
I was laughing the whole time I was typing that scene when Loren walks in on Nora and Max. OMG TRACI IS PREGNANT!
