Chapter 21

It Wasn't Me (by Shaggy)

Eddie looks at Loren curiously, "you're late?" he asks.

"My period is late Eddie. I'm pregnant and you filed for divorce," she says crying.

"I didn't file for divorce," Eddie says calmly.

"If you didn't file for divorce, then why did you go see your attorney?" Loren asks.

"I had just assaulted someone Lo, I needed to know what my options were," Eddie says. "Why do you think you're pregnant?"

"I've been craving burgers from different places, and this morning I was dizzy and nauseated. And my period is late. Are you mad?"

Eddie pulls Loren closer to his body wrapping her in his arms tightly as she rests her head on his chest. "Baby, why would I be mad? I love you. I want to have kids with you. Have you gone to our doctor yet?"

Loren shakes her head no, "I just realized this morning that I missed my period." Eddie pulls out his phone and calls their family doctor to see how soon he can examine Loren. The doctor tells them to come to the office at eleven. Eddie and Loren cuddle for a few minutes before Eddie breaks the silence. "Lo, we need to talk about what happened between us."

Loren sighs, "Eddie, I'm so sorry. I kept saying I trusted you but deep down inside I didn't. I thought you would fall for Miley and leave me," Loren says. "This is all my fault."

"No Lo, it's not all your fault, I played a part in this too. I let Miley's complements go to my head so when she took the bottle of sunblock out of my hands and started rubbing sunblock on my back I didn't stop her even though I knew I should," he says kissing the top of Loren's head, "I now understand how you felt when you saw that picture of her with her hands on my back, because I felt the same rage watching Channing put his hands on you."

"I chose Channing because I knew it would make you jealous. When I called you, Miley answered, I called Jenna and asked her to help me change the choreography. Channing agreed to do it only after Jenna begged him. The plan was to send you a copy of the video once it was edited, but you came to the video shoot and I improvise a little," Loren says looking at Eddie. Eddie raised his eyebrow at her with a question look on his face, "okay, I improvised a lot," she says. "It wasn't the picture of Miley's hands on your back that upset me. It was the pictures of her with her arms wrapped around you from the back, and the one of her kissing you on the shoulder and the one of you guys standing in the water hugging."

"What are you talking about?" he asks. "Miley didn't wrap her arms around me or kiss me on the shoulder. We weren't in the water hugging. What pictures were you looking at?"

"You haven't seen the pictures?" Loren asks.

"I glanced at a few of the pictures before I tried calling you that day," he says, "I haven't looked at them since."

Loren pulls away from Eddie and reaches for her iPad. She pulls up the pictures of him and Miley on the beach. Eddie scrolls through the pictures closely examining each one. After ten minutes of looking at all the pictures Eddie turns the iPad around, "Lo, take a good look at these pictures and tell me what's missing," Eddie says.

"I don't need to look at those pictures again. They are burned in my memory," Loren says not looking at the iPad screen.

"Look at the picture. Something's missing from the pictures," Eddie says getting annoyed.

"No," Loren says getting angry.

Eddie sighs and climbs off the bed; he picks up Loren and throws her over his shoulder, grabs her iPad and leaves out the guest room.

"Put me down Eddie," Loren yells. Eddie ignores her and walks into the living room where Melissa and Ian are decorating. Eddie walks over to the couch and sits down with Loren in his lap.

"Mel, Ian, I need you guys to come tell my wife what's missing from these photos," Eddie says holding up Loren's iPad.

Melissa and Ian walk over and sit on the couch; they hold the iPad between them. Melissa scrolls through the pictures. "I don't see anything missing from the pictures," she says.

"That's because nothing's missing," Loren says with attitude.

Eddie rolls his eyes at Loren and looks at Ian. Ian is laughing, "why are you laughing?" Melissa asks.

Ian looks at Eddie and winks, "that's not Eddie's body in those photos," Ian says laughing harder.

Loren snatches the iPad out of Ian's hand, together her and Melissa scroll through the pictures looking at them closely, "how can you say that's not Eddie?" she asks. "That's his head, that's his body. That's Eddie," Loren says.

"Where's that scar on his back that he got when he fell off the roof of the garage when we were kids?" Ian asks still laughing. "And that picture of him with his arms around Miley, where is the tattoo? ?"

Loren and Melissa scroll through the pictures again while Eddie and Ian are laughing.

"Oh my gosh, this isn't your body," Loren says, "I've been mad at you all this time and someone deliberately photo shopped your head on this man's body." Tears begin to roll down Loren's cheeks.

"Whoever did it did a damn good job," Ian says, "this person took their time, got the skin tones to match perfectly." Ian looks at Loren, "shouldn't you be all cried out by now?" Ian asks still laughing.

Melissa elbows him in the ribs. "Cool it Ian, Max thought it was him too," Melissa says.

Loren buries her face in Eddie's neck and cries harder. Eddie glares at Ian, "it's okay babe, I didn't notice it until you gave me details about the pictures."

"We've been married for three years Eddie, I should know every detail of your body by now," Loren says with her face still buried in his neck.

"You know my body better than anyone Lo. You were blinded by mistrust, that's why you missed the small details," Eddie says rubbing her back.

"Who would deliberately photo shop your head onto another man's body to make it look like you're having an affair with Miley Cyrus?" Melissa asks.

"Miley would," Loren says getting angry.

"We don't know that for sure, but I am going to get my attorney on it," Eddie says. "Lo we better start getting ready so we won't be late."

"Where are you two going?" Melissa asks.

Loren avoids Melissa's eyes, "we have a quick errand to run. We will be back before the baby shower starts."

Eddie goes out to the car and grabs his bag while Loren takes a shower. After Eddie showers and gets dressed, they head out the door. A half hour later, they pull into the parking lot of the doctor's office, Loren turns to Eddie with a worried look on her face, "are you really ready to be a dad?" she asks.

Eddie smiles and caresses her cheek with his hand, "I'm really ready to be a dad," he says. Loren smiles too.

Yes Leddie made up but you know there is still going to be drama. Who do you think had those pictures photo shopped? There are only two chapters and an epilogue left before we reach the end of THIS story. ~jm~
