Chapter 6
Lying together in the peace and quiet was their favorite thing to do. After their appointment they went home to celebrate. After coming down from there high, they just laid their in each others arms. Eddie had his arms around Loren with their fingers intertwined resting on top of her abdomen. Loren had her head on his chest listening to the sound of his beating heart. Closing her eyes Loren couldn't help but let out a sigh as a smile crept on her face. Today was one of the best days of her life, nothing could ruin it for her. Hearing her sigh Eddie looked down toward Loren, seeing a smile form on her face he couldn't help but also smile. He didn't know what he did to deserve someone like her. Leaning down he got close to her ear.
Eddie:(whispering) I love you Loren
Loren opened her eyes, looking toward Eddie so that they were looking into each other eyes
Loren:(whispering) I love you too Eddie
Eddie:(smiling) So who are we planning on telling first?
Loren:(smiling) Mmm, well theirs Papa Max, my mom, Mel, and Ian
Eddie: What about Jake and Kelly?
Loren: As long as they don't force us to tell the media. I only want our closest family and friends to know, for now.
Eddie: Ok we can do that. Don't worry about Jake and Kelly though, I'll handle them.
Quietness took over once again. She loved how Eddie was already starting to be protective over her and the baby.
Loren: Let's go share our news with everybody
Eddie: Let's just tell them to meet us at MK in half an hour
Loren and Eddie got dressed and called everybody to meet them at MK
~MK~
Eddie: You ready?
Loren: Yeah
Eddie got out of the car and walked over to Loren's side to open the door for her. Walking hand in hand into MK with smiles upon their faces. They spotted everyone sitting together at one of the booths. The minute Melissa saw them she could tell by the looks on their faces what they were here to tell them. Squealing and clapping her hands in excitement Melissa quickly got up and ran over to them pulling them into a hug.
Melissa: Congratulations!
Loren and Eddie: Thank You
Ian: Congratulation on what?
Nora: Yeah I would also like to know what we are congratulating you two on
Eddie looked toward Loren making sure she actually wanted to share the news. She slightly nodded.
Eddie: How about I just show you
Nora and Ian looked confused, where as Max and Mel both had knowing looks of what they were about to show them. Eddie took the envelope out of his pocket and put it the table. Nora was the first one to grab it. Cautiously opening it, she took out the pictures and put her hand over her mouth, looking toward Loren and Eddie. Nora got up and pulled them into them into a hug.
Nora: Congratulations! Oh this is so exciting!
Ian and Mel were looking at the pictures. Melissa had a smile on her face, unlike Ian, instead he had a look of confusion.
Ian: I still don't get it. What the bloody hell it that?
Pulling away from her mom Loren couldn't help but laugh along with everyone else at Ian's confusion. Walking up to Ian, Eddie patted him on the back as he laughed
Eddie: That my friend is your little niece or nephew
Ian looked shocked but quickly recovered as a smile took over his face
Ian:(pulling Eddie into a hug) Congratulations mate! (pulling Loren into a hug) Congratulations love!
Eddie and Loren: Thanks Ian!
Lastly Max got up and pulled them into a hug and congratulated them.
Max: This calls for celebratory drinks
As Max prepared the drinks at the bar Loren went over to have a talk with him. Max looked up as he heard the sound of heels and smiled as Loren took a seat on one of the bar stools.
Max: Anything specific I can get you? No alcohol though
Loren:(smiling) Darn it and here I thought I would be able to convince you to give me a tequila shot
Max:(chuckling) How about a bottle of water?
Loren: Yeah that would be great
He handed her the water
Loren: Thanks
Max: So what did you want to talk to me about?
Loren: How did you know I wanted to talk to you?
Max: Loren I know you. When something is bothering you and you don't know how to tell Eddie you always come to me. By the look on your face something tells me something is up.
Loren: Well first, when did Eddie tell you I was pregnant? You looked a little to calm about the news so I know this isn't the first time he told you.
Max:(sighing) He told me yesterday. But don't be mad he needed some advice. Plus either way I would have found out he looked like something was on his mind and you know that I have tricks up my sleeve that can get you guys talking.
Loren:(slightly smiling) True
Max: And by the looks of it Eddie telling me before everyone else isn't what really is bothering you. So what's really bothering you?
Loren: Ok wow you really do know me. It's just that 2 weeks from tomorrow Eddie is going on tour and-
Max: And he won't be here through out your pregnancy
Loren just nodded
Loren: His tour starts the first of June and doesn't end until the second of November. So when he come's back I will be about 8 months pregnant.
Max: 8 months? When are you due?
Loren:(smiling) December 25. A Christmas baby
Max smiled from ear to ear. He walked around the bar to where Loren was and pulled her into a hug.
Max:(pulling apart) Best Christmas present ever
Loren: That's what Eddie said
Max: Talk to him. Maybe he can have Jake cancel the tour or cut it down by a couple of months. Knowing Eddie he will do what ever it takes to be here for you during this time. Don't stress about it.
Loren: Your right. I don't need to stress about it. I'll just talk to Eddie about and see what we can come with.
Max: Alright let's get to the others. They are probably wondering what's taking us so long.
Loren and Max walked back to the others. As Loren went to take a seat Eddie pulled so that she was sitting on his lap. Eddie leaned over and gave Loren a kiss on the cheek.
Melissa: So Lo I hear your having a Christmas baby
Loren looked over at Eddie and shook her head
Loren: You told them
Eddie:(innocently) I have no idea what you're talking
Loren: Hmm sure. (looking back at Melissa) Anyways yes I'm due on Christmas Day.
Melissa:(clapping excitingly) Yay! Now I can double spoil my little niece or nephew.
They all stayed their talking and hanging out, until it was opening time for the club. So they all decided to head up to Max's apartment for a home cooked meal that Nora was going to prepare. Nora was in the kitchen cooking. Melissa and Loren were in the living room talking. While the boy's were all outside on the balcony having drinks
Ian: So how you feeling about the baby Ed?
Eddie: Excited but nervous. I- I'm just scared. What if we lose this baby too?
Max: You can't think like that Eddie. You have to think positive about this.
Ian: Papa Max is right Eddie.
Eddie: I just can't. I have this nagging feeling that something bad is going happen. And then with the-
Eddie paused, realizing he wouldn't be here for Loren throughout the pregnancy
Eddie: Damn it!
Ian: What? What is mate?
Max: He just realized he will being on tour in two weeks and will probably miss most of his wife's pregnancy
Eddie: This just great. What is Loren going to think? She will probably think I'm trying to abandon her like her father
Max: No she won't. Trust me I know.
Eddie opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Nora saying dinner was ready. Sitting around the table Eddie took a seat next to Loren. Mel and Ian sat across from them. Nora sat in one end and Max sat in the other. Once they finished eating they cleaned and went to the living room to relax. After another two hours they decided to go home and get some rest.
~Penthouse~
Loren: I'm so tired.
Eddie: Well get some rest I have a couple of things planned out for us.
Loren: Can you believe it, our anniversary is tomorrow. It doesn't even feel like it.
Eddie: I know what you mean.
Loren:(sighing) I love you Eddie
Eddie: I love you to Lo
