A/N: In my story Eddie and Tyler are friends. Chloe cheated on Eddie with Dylan instead of Tyler. I will include Tyler in the story but probably not until later on.

Chapter 9

~Tate Residence~

Nora managed to carefully ease her way off the bed without waking up Loren. Making her way out of the room Nora hears Loren's phone go off. Quickly grabbing Loren's phone off the nightstand she answers it before Loren could wake up.

~Phone Conversation~

Nora:(whispering) Hello?

(Nora made her way out of the bedroom)

Eddie: Nora?

Nora: Oh. Hey Eddie!

Eddie: Hey Nora! Um is Loren there.

Nora: Yeah but she sleeping. She got sick earlier and wore her out.

Eddie: God, I should be there! I knew I should have canceled the tour.

Nora: No! Eddie relax, she is doing just fine. And stop thinking this is all your fault for not being here. There is no reason to feel guilty.

Eddie: How did you know I-

Nora: Eddie I have known you for quite some time now and if I learned anything it's that you're a family man. You always put your family before career. So now that Loren is pregnant and your on tour, you feel like your putting your family second and career first. But Eddie you made the right choice it's either tour now or tour when the baby is actually here and trust me moments with your child will be something you don't want to miss.

Eddie:(sighing) Your right. I just thought we would go through this experience together. I didn't think I would be on tour. I can't cancel, well I could but-

Nora: Eddie you and I both know that Loren would not allow that.

Eddie: Yeah, she is pretty stubborn.

Nora: Yeah, well you both are.

Eddie laughed. He then heard Nora talking to someone else but he couldn't tell who it was.

(Loren saw that her mom was talking to someone on her phone.)

Loren: Who are you talking to?

Nora jumped at the sound of Loren's voice.

Nora: Don't scare me like! I'm talking to Eddie.

Nora then handed to phone to Loren.

Nora: I'm sure he rather speak to you than to me.

Loren: Hey handsome!

Eddie:(smiling) Hey beautiful! I just called to tell you that we arrived here safely in Miami. How you feeling? Heard you got sick.

Loren: That's good. Glad so far there's no troubles. Um I'm better than before. Staying away from eggs for now on. They smell disgusting, taste horrible, and trigger my morning sickness. But other than that I'm feeling good.

Eddie:(chuckling) Good to know. I'm sorry.

Loren: Eddie you have nothing to apologize for. You did nothing wrong.

Eddie: I should be there. Just tell me to cancel and I'll be there as soon as I can.

Loren: No, I will not be the reason you let all your fans down

Eddie: But you're the only fan I care about.

Loren: Eddie...

Eddie: Fine. I'll stop. But I'm serious Lo if you need me or if something happens, please call me. I'll be there as soon as I can.

Loren: I promise I'll call. But don't worry nothing will happen. You- we need to quit thinking like that Eddie. We need to have hope that this pregnancy will not lead to another miscarriage. Everything will be just fine.

Eddie: I know. I know. I'm just scared.

Loren: Me too. But I'm trying to stay positive.

Eddie: Your right stay positive. I have to go Jake's giving me look to hurry it up.

Loren: Alright well call me later.

Eddie: Will do. Bye Lo.

Loren: Bye Eddie. Love You.

Eddie: Love you too.

~End of Phone Conversation~

Loren hung up the phone and joined her mom in the kitchen

Nora: I'm making tea. You want some?

Loren: No thanks. I'm actually heading out.

Nora turned to face Loren. She could tell something was bothering her.

Nora: What's wrong?

Loren: Nothing's wrong. I'm just tired.

Nora: Are you sure that's the only thing going on?

Loren: Yeah, I'm sure.

Loren walked up to her mom and kissed her on the cheek

Loren: Bye mom

Nora: Bye Loren.

~Eddie POV~

After hanging up the phone with Loren, I went to go check into the penthouse of the hotel. Going up to my room I decided to take a nap. Right when I was about to fall into a peaceful slumber there was a knock at the door. Letting out a groan as I got up to answer the door.

Eddie: What do you want Jake?

Jake:(chuckling) Nice to see you too

Eddie: Jake I just saw you less than fifteen minutes ago. No offense but I was hoping not to see you for a while

Jake: Well too bad. We have to head over the arena for sound check, discuss your wardrobe, and meet up with the choreographer. We have to there in less than an hour, so go get ready. I'll meet you in the lobby in thirty minutes.

He didn't wait for response, instead he just walked out. Letting out a sigh I obligated and went to go get ready. Taking a quick shower and changing into a plain white t-shirt with some black skinny jeans. Pairing it with my black and white Supra Vaider shoes. I walked out the door to go meet Jake down in the lobby. Entering the lobby I spotted Jake by the front desk talking on his phone. Ending his call Jake greeted me and we left to the arena. Fans and paparazzi were all over the place when we left the hotel. Right when we arrived to the arena I was pulled into all different directions. One minute I was talking with my stylist about the different outfit choices, the next I was stage doing sound check and rehearsing the dances with my back up dancers. If this was is what it's like for rest of the tour with rushing to do everything in one night, I knew this was going to be a hell of a long tour.

~Loren POV~

I opened the door to the penthouse and put my keys and purse on top of the piano. I turn around to find Melissa sitting on the couch.

Loren: Mel what are you doing here? More importantly how did you get in?

Melissa: I have a key

Loren: How do you have a key to the penthouse? Who gave it to you?

Melissa: Eddie gave me a copy.

Loren: Why would he give you a key?

Melissa: Gee Loren, are we playing 20 questions? Relax he gave it to me so I could come and keep you company while he's gone.

Loren: Oh. Where's Ian?

Melissa: Oh he's-

Ian: Right here love.

I turn to see Ian coming down the stairs

Loren: Hey Ian

Ian: Hello love

Melissa: Ok Ian you can leave now

Ian: What? Your kicking me out?

Melissa: Yup. Oh no wait go buy us ice cream.

Loren: Mmm ice cream sounds good right about now.

Melissa: Yeah go buy ice cream and then maybe you can stay

Ian: No. Go get your own ice cream.

Loren: Please Ian. I really want ice cream. Do it for your future niece or nephew

I said while putting her hand on top of her stomach

Ian: Oh now your being unfair by bringing the baby into it

Melissa and I briefly look at each other before looking back at Ian with pouty lips and batting our eyelashes. Ian looked at us and knew he wasn't going to win this battle.

Ian:(throwing his hands up) Fine I'll go. Just quit staring at me like that.

Put up our victory smiles Melissa and I gave each high fives as Ian walked out the door.
