Chapter 4

Thursday

~Penthouse~

Eddie: Hey babe I'm going to visit Papa Max. You coming?

Loren: No I have a meeting with Kelly.

Eddie: Ok how about we meet at Rumor for dinner

Loren: Ok. I'll see you then

Loren gave Eddie a kiss and walked out the door

~MK~

Eddie: Hey Grace! Is Pops here?

Grace: Hey Eddie! Yeah he's-

Max: Right here.

Max walked up to Eddie and pulled him into a hug

Eddie: Hey Pops!

Max: Hey Ed!

Eddie: Can I talk to you in private

Max: Yeah let's-

Grace: You can stay here if you want. I have to go do inventory.

Eddie and Max: Thanks Grace

Max: Ok what's up?

Eddie: Well I need to tell you something, but Loren doesn't want anybody to know. So you have to promise me you won't say anything.

Max: Ok yeah I promise.

Eddie: Loren's pregnant

Max:(smiling) congratulations! I'm going to be a grandpa.

Max couldn't help but notice that Eddie wasn't all too excited as he was

Max: Yet by the looks of it something's wrong.

Eddie: No nothings wrong. Well at least not yet.

Max: What do you mean?

~Office~

Loren: Hey Kelly!

Kelly: Hey Lo! Ok Lets get down to business.

Loren just nodded her head. Kelly could tell that something was off, but decided to mind her own business.

Kelly: Ok your album is almost finished. You need one more songs. Once you have the song done and ready we can go ahead and schedule studio time.

Loren: Yeah ok

Kelly: Oh we also have to schedule a photo-shoot for your album cover

Loren just nodded. She really couldn't concentrate on what Kelly was saying. All she could think about was whether or not she was pregnant. Then the fact that what if she was actually pregnant. Would she have to face this pregnancy alone or would Eddie drop the tour to stay with her?

Kelly: Loren! Hello earth to Lo!

Loren: Hmm What? I'm sorry what did you say?

Kelly: I was asking if you wanted to do an interview for People magazine tomorrow?

Loren: No I can't, I actually have plans tomorrow.

Kelly: Oh are you and Eddie going to start your anniversary plans.

Loren: No but I..

Loren suddenly started feeling nauseous and dizzy. Kelly seemed to notice that Loren wasn't looking good.

Kelly:(concerned) Hey Lo everything ok? You don't look so good.

Loren just shook her head no.

Kelly: Do you need me-

All of a sudden Loren shot up from the couch and ran to the nearest trashcan to empty out the contents of her stomach. After a moment of shock Kelly quickly took action and went to go hold back Loren's hair and rub soothing circles on her back. Finally finished, Loren just sat on the floor near the trashcan. Leaning against the wall Loren closed her eyes and started taking deep breathes in order to calm her self down.

Kelly: Here

Loren opened her eyes and looked up at Kelly, she took the bottle of water that was in her hands

Loren:(whispering) Thanks

Kelly: Are you ok? Do need me to call Eddie so he can pick you up?

Loren nodded, she felt to weak to speak

~MK~

Eddie: I mean with our history Loren might not even be pregnant

Max: Yeah but if she's not then you could always try again

Eddie: No we wont at least not for awhile. Loren said that she wants to take a break from trying to having a baby

Max: Yeah well I'm sure she just needs a break especially after the miscarriage. Both of you grew attached to the baby and the idea of becoming parents

Eddie was the verge of tears. He hated talking about the miscarriage because in a way he felt that it was his fault they lost their baby. As a father he failed because he was supposed to protect his family. But he didn't.

Max: But it must of been harder on her

Eddie:(getting angry) And you don't think it was hard for me! I'm suppose to protect my family but I didn't!

Max: No! Don't start blaming yourself for the loss of the baby. It was nobody's fault.

At this point tears were slowly coming out of Eddie's eyes. Max got up from the bar stool and pulled Eddie into a hug. But quickly pulled away at the sound of Eddie's phone ringing.

~Phone Conversation~

Eddie: Hello

Kelly: Hey Eddie it Kelly. I need you to come to the office now!

Eddie:(confused) Why? What's up?

Kelly: Loren need you to come pick her up. She got sick and

Eddie:(worried) What? Is she okay? Just tell her that I'm on my way.

Kelly: Ok bye.

Eddie: Bye

~End of Phone Conversation~

Max: Everything ok

Eddie: No apparently Loren got sick during her meeting with Kelly. I have to go. Bye Pops.

Eddie rushed out of there, he didn't bother waiting for a response.

~Office~

Kelly: I called Eddie. He should be here soon.

Loren nodded. She still wasn't feeling good. Every time she would open her eyes or try to stand up the room would start spinning and she would end up throwing up again. After what felt like an hour Eddie finally showed up. Once he entered the room he immediately rushed to Loren's side.

Eddie:(whispering) Hey Lo. What's wrong?

Loren:(mumbling) I don't feel good. Please take me home.

Eddie: Ok

He gently lifted Loren off the ground and into his arms. Loren instantly curled into him and buried her face in his chest.

Eddie: Thanks Kelly

Kelly: No problem. Hope you feel better Lo. Bye guys.

~Penthouse~

Once inside the penthouse Eddie carefully took Loren to go lay down. When he put Loren on the bed he turned to leave to grab her a glass of water but she stopped before he could make it to the door

Loren:(whispering) Eddie please don't go just come lay down with me.

He did just that. Eddie pulled Loren into his arms. She put her head on his chest and cuddled into him. He kissed her on the top of her head and whispered for her to relax and go to sleep.

OK here you go. I make time out of today to write you guys this chapter. Hope you enjoy it. Next chapter is going to be the doctors appointment. Hopefully there a baby Duran. You'll just have to wait and see. Please leave a review.
