27.
Eddie and Loren came into the penthouse and were so happy. They looked over to see Mel and Ian cuddling and Nora and Max cuddling.
"Hey what's going on in here?" Eddie asked laughing.
"Um.. we have news." both Ian and Max said.
Eddie knew about Ian but he turned to look at his dad. He could see the happiness radiating off of him and he was excited to see it.
"You too Pops?"
"What?" Loren asked.
"We're getting married." both Nora and Mel said at the same time.
Loren looked on in shock and then started laughing.
"Is this true?" she asked going to hug her mother and then Mel.
"Yeah."
"That's great." she said now hugging Pops and Ian.
"You don't mind they asked us the same day Eddie asked you?"
"How do you know Eddie asked me?"
"Because we had a secret elf tell us." Mel said staring over at Max.
"Of course I don't mind. I think this is great." she said.
"So what now?" Mel asked.
"Well I don't know about you two but I want to plan the wedding. I won't be getting any slimmer these days." Loren said laughing.
The guys all got up. "That's our cue." Eddie said.
"Where do you think you are going?" Loren asked.
"Um.. we have to plan the um.. honeymoons." he said.
The guys left and the women sat there.
"So what do you think of having one big wedding with all of us?" Loren asked.
"I think that would be great honey." Nora said with a smile.
"You don't mind us intruding on yours?" Mel asked Loren.
"Of course not. I think it would be great. Um how do the guys know what to plan for the honeymoon when we didn't even tell them when we were getting married?" Loren asked.
Then all three of them laughed.
"Well I guess we need to discuss the day and text them." Nora said.
"Sounds good. How about we let Loren choose the day." Mel said.
Loren opened the calender. She only chose one month to choose from and closed her eyes and let her finger drop on a date.
"So I guess we are getting married two weeks from today." Nora said smiling.
"Let's get to planning." Mel said.
Loren pulled out her phone and texted the date. She told him to tell the other two guys.
"Okay, they have been notified." Loren said when she received a text back. She started laughing.
"What did they say?" Mel asked.
"They want to know why we didn't make it sooner."
"Don't they know it takes a little time to plan?" Mel replied with a smile.
"Well we have a very short time to plan our honeymoons. I for one do not want you guys there. So I think the safe thing to do is plan together to make sure that doesn't happen." Eddie said laughing.
The day arrived and they were all smiles. One by one the ladies walked down the aisle to their significant others. Nora wearing an off white long dress with chiffon. Mel wearing a signature dress, white leather with a red belt and Loren wearing a beautiful silky white dress. All of the men at the end of the aisle watching the three beautiful women walk towards them. Eddie looked out and was glad that there wasn't any paparazzi. He was glad to see Jeremy sitting there next to Jake and Kelly. The vows went quickly and then he was taking his new bride to the white limousine to get to his private jet for the honeymoon. He was taking his bride to see the beautiful sunrises in Hawaii.
Max was escorting his bride to a black limousine so that he could take her to the airport before flying to
Cancun. Ian was escorting his bride to a silver limousine so that he could take her to his homeland in England. They all looked back at each other before getting into the vehicles.
"Have fun." Loren shouted happily.
"You too honey, Take care of my future grandchild."
"Have a great time." Mel shouted out then they all got in and left.
Chloe sat in the jail cell reading a used magazine that someone brought in to share. She read the stories and then threw it against the wall. "You may think you have won but I don't ever give up." she said.
Lia was in the day room of the mental facility when her brother walked in.
"Hi Lia, how are you feeling today?"
"I'm great. Eddie asked me to marry him and we are planning our wedding." she said with a smile.
Jeremy knew then that his sister needed more help then he even thought. He left her sitting there with a wedding magazine and knew he had to move on with his life. He would always love his sister but he couldn't help her.
