Chapter 8
Loren and Eddie and Taylor went out to eat. The got to the restaurant and got a seat. They were sitting down, eating appetizers.
Eddie: hey Loren, I wanted to ask you about that house?
Loren: what else you want to know you asked me earlier.
Eddie: I don't know…its just nice.
Eddie didn't know what to say about it, should he tell her what her daddy said ….
Eddie: your dad thinks he know me.
Loren: what? what do you mean?
Eddie: well…..(he took a deep breath), remember long ago, when you said you slept with a guy, and you never knew who he was…..
Loren heart was racing, she couldn't believe what she think she was about to hear
Eddie: well that guy was me.
Loren: what eddie? No! I don't know you, I never seen you a day in my life.
Eddie: yes, yes you have. I remember that day, we were at a guy name Ian party long ago, and we got so drunk that we walked to your house and did it. I was drunk you were drunk didn't use protection. That's why I asked if you had a feeling that it might have been the other guys baby.
Loren: what eddie…noo this cant be….(tears started coming down) are you trying to tell me you might be….
Eddie: I don't know, maybe, maybe not. But I know we did it, and after that day I went to your house but you wasn't there
Loren: yea, my dad made me go stay with my grandmother til he found some place to move, the only person they let me talk to was Steven, because he was a childhood friend but they didn't know we were really dating.
Eddie: yea…so I mean, I know that you said you wanted him to be the father, but I want to know if she's really mine or not….
They sat there in silence. Loren didn't know what to do….she wanted to believe him, but she wasn't sure. Maybe he was the one. How could she ever know…..i guess the only way is to have a DNA test.
About an hour later they were done eating got up and went home….one they arrived at home eddie said his goodnights and went home…..that night loren got Taylor to bed and sat on the couch thinking.
Loren's POV
What have I done….how could my dad go off like that….is eddie really the guy I slept with, could he really be Taylor father?
Everyhting went through her mind….she got her phone and called someone
Loren: hey I'm sorry to call you this late.
Person: oh no sweetie, it's okay, anything for my grandbaby
Loren: thanks mama Em
Mama Em: so whats going on?
Loren: well I wanted to talk to you about something. Remember long time ago, when daddy caught me at home with some guy?
Mama Em was quiet because she know what she was going to say, she was thinking maybe its time to come clean about it
Mama Em: yea hunny I remember
Loren: well I never knew who he was, but I think I found out who he is….and he told me today that he might possibly be the father of Taylor….i really don't know what to do…because you know that Steven thought he was the father and I really feel that he is…
Mama Em: well I need to talk to you tell you about something.
Loren: alright (sounding confused)
Mama Em: well sweetie, I knew the whole time, steven couldn't have been that childs father…
Loren: wait what?
Mama Em: when you and Steven were little about 8 or so, there was an accident,
Loren: wait, I remember that, when he hurt his stuff
Mama Em: yea, well his mother called me and told me what happened. She told me that when he hurt his "stuff" that he had a slim chance of having babies. So when your father told me you were having a baby, I knew that it couldn't have been Steven's. but I never said anything, because that boy worshiped the ground you walked on. So yea there is a major chance it could be that boys.
Loren: oh my gosh, mama Em why haven't you never told me that before?
Mama Em: well sweetie mama em was looking out for you, you loved steven and yall were just good together. I didn't want to mess that up
Loren: well do you think Steven knew?
Mama Em: I'm not sure, I never asked his mother if she ever told him. But if you want to know, you might need to go get a DNA test
Loren: yes' ma am, I was thinking that. I'll make an appointment tomorrow.
Mama Em: okay baby, I'll talk to you later, good night, give Taylor a kiss for me. Love you
Loren: Love you to.
