Today had been a whirlwind of emotions. Things we up and the down and somehow back up and then back down. If you told this story of tonight's events to someone Loren was sure they would laugh in your face. No one could have this much bad luck not in one night. But, then again welcome to Loren's world. Sometimes she would worry if this is how the rest of her life would go. Would she have to fight for everything for the rest of her husband. Would she have to fight for her husband from the grasp of Chloe forever. Loren frowned upon this, she knew Chloe was a perpetual liar. But, she alwaysed sounded so convincing, It didn't help that she always seemed to come around when her an Eddie were either fighting, or when Loren was vulnerable. Loren had never hated anyone until now. She couldn't stand the girl, but yet she felt sorry for her. Sorry that she was trying so hard to win someone back who wanted nothing to do with her. Chloe needed to let go, and move on. Loren finally stopped being mad at Eddie long enough to let him explain himself. He really did have a good explanation. Loren never should have been mad at him in the first place all of this drama could have been avoided. It broke her heart when he thought she was divorcing him. Loren loved him way to much to divorce him, but if he did get her mad enough she had no probably running away for a week. But, that's not how a marriage works, and she knew she had to endure the good and the bad. Things were finally picking up from where they should of ended early. Loren couldn't have been happier. Until her phone rang Max had sounded so worried. All she heard was hospital and mom when she started to panic. But then came the shes pregnant and something happened to thee baby. What my moms not pregnant. I would know I would be the first to know. Wouldn't I.

Eddie couldn't help but let a huge sigh of relief out. Tonight had been one for the books. After everything that had happened he was sure most people would have given up and called it quits. But, that wasn't something he ever planned on doing. He and Loren had something way to special way to intense to ever throw away. However, not even five minutes ago he feared that she was ready to give it all up. Chloe of course had to show up to Mk as soon as him and Lorne were getting ready to go home. But, this somehow didn't surprise him she always did tend to show up at the worse time. The things she spat at Loren made Eddie furious. He hated that she talked to Loren the way she did. She belittled everything about her. He hated that she referred to her as a child. Loren was far from a kid or that stupid valley girl name they had given her. The only thing Loren was, was his girl the love of his life. When Loren left from MK it amused Eddie that Chloe actually thought he wouldn't run after her. Like he was going to stay and continue to throw his marriage away. Then he found out she had a date with Dylan Boyd. How fitting they belonged together, they were both horrible human beings. Eddie of course found Loren, and to her dismay had given her no choice but to go home with him. When they got back he could tell she still wanted nothing to do with him, but when she said what he said would be there fate his heart crashed. Divorce, Lawyers, and a life without her were the things that flashed to his mind. He literally spat out what he had to say as fast as humanly possible. When he was done he begged her not to divorce him. Which to his relief amused her. Loren assured him that she would never do anything of the sort. Eddie was once again happy. Happy and excited that they were going in the direction the night should have been. Until her phone rang. Tomorrow he swore he was cutting them off. But, as she was on the phone he saw a look of panic across her face. As he ran behind her and pulled her to him he could feel her body shake as she was talking to Max. Something was wrong, and he need to know what.

Loren was still on the phone with Max, with a rather worried Eddie holding on to her.

Loren: "Wait…did you just say pregnant….she's not…"

Max: "Yes…sweetie she is..I'll explain when you get her…but you need to soon…"

Loren: "Oh…okay..I will be there in ten minutes…"

Max: "Okay….and Loren…"

Loren: crying, "Yeah…"

Max: "It's going to be okay….I love you…"

Loren: "Love you too pop…see you shortly…"

As soon as Loren hung up she went into panic mode. She pushed away from Eddie and started mumbling about everything she needed. She grabbed her purse, and started frantically looking for keys. A bewildered Eddie calming went behind her and stopped her searching and pulled her to him face to face.

Loren: "Eddie I have to go…please..I need my keys…"

Eddie: "babe…tell me whats going on…"

Loren: "There's no time for that…keys…where are my darn keys…"

Eddie pulled her once again closer to him

Eddie: "Babe…calm down…"

Loren: crying, "I can't….she….she's…she's in the…hospital."

Eddie: "Babe who…who is in the hospital…"

Loren: "Mom…."

Eddie: "Why…what happened…"

Loren: "I can't explain Eddie…just let me go I have to go…."

Eddie: "I am not letting you go…until you calm down and tell me whats going on…"

Loren explained everything that Max had told her on the phone and about Nora being pregnant.

Eddie: "Pregnant….how is she…"

Loren: "Eddie this is not the time for me to have to explain to you how to make a baby…"

Eddie: "You know what I mean….babe…."

Loren: "I know..and I don't know I can't believe she didn't tell me…"

Eddie: "She had a reason….I'm more than sure…"

Loren: crying, "The reason being…I am a horrible daughter…"

Eddie: "Babe…that is so far from the truth…"

Loren: crying,"Really Eddie..I'm never home with her…I barely see her…I have been fighting so much with her lately…plus I got married and I'm hiding it from her…"

Eddie: "None of that makes you a bad daughter…it makes you human…me and pop fight all the time…and look at us…"

Loren: smiling, "I guess so…"

Eddie: "you guess…"

Loren: "Fine your right…but Eddie I have to go..I have to be there…I need my keys…"

Eddie: "No..I'm driving you…"

Loren: "Baby no stay…look your tired….just stay and sleep…"

Eddie: "In your dreams Mrs Duran…I am going…plus she is my mom as well…"

Loren: "I guess you have a point…"

Eddie: "I know I do….plus what every you go through is my problem as well….for better or worse…"

Eddie bent down and kissed Loren Sweetly

Loren: smiling, "you always know how to calm me down…."

Eddie: "Its a part of the job…"

Loren: "Mr. Duran do you know…that I love you…"

Eddie: smiling, "You do…thats funny because I love you too…"

Loren kissed Eddie again this time he didn't want to pull away, but he knew he had too.

Eddie: "Come on..mom's waiting…"

Loren: "Yes…lets okay…"

Eddie: "Oh and when we get there…if she's okay remind me to thank her for her timing.."

Loren laughed as they headed to Eddies car. The couple drove in silence. Loren had began to imagine every worse scenario as possible. What if she dies, what if she losses the baby, Loren felt Eddie squeezing her hand, and looked at him.

Eddie: "It will be fine…don't go to that place…"

Loren: "How did you know…"

Eddie: "babe..your my wife..like I told you before..I know my wife, and every facial expression…"

Loren just smiled at Eddie as he tuned into the hospital. Eddie and Loren met an awaiting Max at the entrance.

Max: "He guys what took ya'll so long…"

Eddie: "Sorry pop Loren had a panic attack…I had to calm her down before we could head over.."

Max sweetly looked at Loren, and pulled her in a hug

Max: "sweety, I'm sorry…she's okay everything will be okay…I didn't mean to scare you…"

Loren: "Its fine…where is she.."

Max: "In room 208…you can go see her…everything is okay..she'll explain…"

The trio headed upstairs, and Eddie and Max let Loren go in alone. Eddie giving her a reassuring kiss before she entered. Nora was hooked up to two machines one for the baby, and the other for her.

When Nora saw Loren her face instantly lit up. Loren began crying.

Nora: "Oh baby..what are you doing here…"

Loren: "Mom..I'm so sorry.."

Nora sat up and motioned for her daughter to go over to her. She made room and pulled her crying daughter onto the bed with her. Stroking her hair and kissing her forehead the way she used to do to comfort her as a child.

Nora: " honey…you have nothing to be sorry for…"

Loren: crying, "yes I do I have been a horrible daughter…"

Nora: "No you haven't…you are the best daughter..any woman could have…"

Loren: "Then how did I not see that my mom is pregnant…it seems obvious…"

Nora: "Babe I am barely showing…plus I purposely was hiding it from you…"

Loren: "But why…I don't care your pregnant…I want a brother or a sister…I'm happy for you…"

Nora: "because I'm ashamed…"

Loren: "Why…"

Nora: "I don't know who the father is…"

Loren sat up the only person that she remembered her mom being with was done, but that had ended almost three months ago. Her mom looked around three months pregnant who else could there be.

Loren: "I thought it was don…"

Nora: shyly, "Or max…."

Loren: "Wait your pregnant for Max…"

Nora: "There is a very slim chance I could be…"

Loren: "Does he know…when did you"

Nora: "It was once…we were both vulnerable and it was before me and Don broke up…Don was acting crazy and Max helped…and yes he knows"

Loren: "So are you and Max together…."

Nora: "Kind of..I don't know…he wants to be..but if this isn't his child…"

Loren: "He would love it like It was…"

Nora: "but its weird…."

Loren: "What is…."

Nora: "Well If this is Max's baby…then it would be sibling to you and Eddie…"

Loren: laughed, "your right…that is weird…but me and Eddie wouldn't be related…unless you get married..than he would be my step…"

Nora: laughing, "no he would be nothing to you…just your husband…"

Loren: "So what happened…"

Nora: "I went into way premature labor….and the Dr. stopped it so I'm okay..they are just monitoring me now…"

Loren: smiled, "I can't believe I will have a brother or sister….I can't believe I may be related to Adriana."

Nora: laughing, "I love you kid…you know that…"

Loren: "I love you too."

Loren stayed with her mom until she fell asleep kissing her head and she quietly got out of the bed and left the room.

When she walked out she say Max reading, and her husband lightly snoring. Loren laughed at the sight of Eddie. Max caught sight of Loren looking at Eddie and smiled. It was the same look Katy use to give him.

Max: laughing, "Loren what have you done to my son…he sat down for and after twenty minutes passed out."

Loren: "Tonight has been pretty eventful…"

Max: "He told me….everything okay now…"

Loren: "Yes…thankfully….so as I hear it you may be a dad again.."

Max: "so she told you…"

Loren: "Yes…I mean its a little weird…that my brother or sister may be Eddie's…"

Max: "but that doesn't mean y'all are related…"

Loren: "Oh believe me I know…besides we were together way before you and my mom…and will be married in less than a month…"

Max:"don't you mean remarried…"

Loren: "What…I don't know what your talking about…"

Max: "Yes you do…."

Loren: "How do you know.."

Max: "I could tell…I am that good at being a detective…"

Loren: "Really…"

Max: "No….the judge called the MK the other day wanting to let Eddie know the Marriage license was signed and ready…and to say another congrats to Mr and Mrs Duran"

Loren: "Oh Max..I a so…"

Max: "Don't be I'm happy about it…besides all that matters is that I still get my dance…"

Loren :"Your not gonna tell mom…."

Max: "No…sweetie your secret is safe with me….but make me a promise…"

Loren: "anything…"

Max: "Don't tell Eddie I know I have a plan for that later…."

Loren: "deal….so I guess I better wake up sleeping beauty…"

Max: laughing, "I suppose…but hey be nice to your brother…."

Loren laughed as man headed into Nora's room. She like Max for her mom. Nora needed someone to make her happy. Loren took a look at Eddie and decided one of two things she could wake him up like his wife, or mess with him. Messing with him was so much funnier. Loren punched Eddie in his arm. Eddie jumped.

Loren: laughing, "Wake up Bro…"

Eddie: "Owe..what the heck…and why are you calling me bro…"

Loren: "Well as I hear it mom may be having your dad's child…."

Eddie: confused, "What…wait….So my brother or sister would be yours…."

Loren: "So bro I guess we have to get this thing annulled…asap.."

Eddie: "Wait…huh…"

Loren: "Well I'm not staying married to my brother…"

Eddie: "wait that doesn't mean we are related….I'm gonna kill pop…"

Loren was laughing hysterically

Eddie: "How is this funny…"

Loren: "You should see you face….I know it doesn't mean anything…besides its only a slim chance…"

Eddie: "Not funny…way to mess with your exhausted husband…"

Loren: "Oh well then…I guess we better get you home..and put you to bed…"

Eddie: "hmmm…bed….sounds nice…"

Loren: "Yes…you need to rest….however, I am going to have dessert…"

Eddie: "dessert…mhmmm I like the sound of that…"

Loren: "No…your tired remember…"

Loren got up and sauntered down the hall. Once again she was teasing him. He ran as fast as he could to her. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.

Loren: "Eddie..put me down we are in a hospital…."

Eddie: "Nope…sorry…you started this beside you walk to slow….and dessert is waiting…."

Loren laughed as Eddie put her in the car and took off. When they pulled into the condo Eddie once again picked Loren up and carried her inside. Jeffery was all smiles.

Jeffery: "Mr. Duran…Mrs.."

Eddie: laughed, "Butterwoth….for sure Butterworth…"

Loren slapped his back as she laughed

Jeffery: "Well I'm just happy that my favorite couple is all smiles again…"

Eddie: "So am I…"

Loren just smiled

Jeffery: "Well have a good evening…your company is waiting in the condo…"

Loren wiggled down from Eddie

Loren: "company…"

Jeffery: "Mr. Ian and Mrs. Mel…"

Loren: sarcastically, "Oh…great…thanks Jeffery..goodnight.."

Jeffery: "Goodnight."

Eddie groaned as he and Loren walked into the elevator

Eddie: "We are never making love again are we…."

Loren: "patience…."

Loren had a wicked grin

Loren: "Aren't I worth the wait…"

Eddie groaned and begin kissing her neck.

Loren: "Nope…we have guest Mr. Duran…"

Eddie: "Well..Mrs. Duran by the time they leave Ian will no longer be able to walk…."

Loren kissed Eddie with another fiery kiss, that she had become rather fond of.

Loren: "Be good…I promise it will be worth it…."

Eddie: "Fine…but if I'm gonna last I need a cold shower."

Loren laughed as the elevator opened. Eddie opened the door to the condo and both of their mouths fell open by what they saw before them.

Enjoy guys
