Disclaimer: same as always.
A/N: Go check out She Will Be Loved and leave a review. I finally finished it. Also, this chapter has some Leddie in it. I promise there is going to be more later but the first few are going to be about Melissa and Ian.

-Friday, April 27-
"You're getting married in a week." Eddie spoke as he finished reading his invite to Ian and Melissa's wedding.
"I know! Who would have that, Mr. Ian Nicholas Duran was going to get married!" Tyler laughed, using the formal name Gus and Lisa used on the invitation:
Mr. and Mrs. Gus J. Sanders request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter
Melissa Anne
to
Mr. Ian Nicholas Duran
on Friday, the fourth of May
at five o'clock in the evening
Lakeview Church
1145 Lakeview Terrace Tarzana, California
(I'm pretty sure I just made that church and address.)
"I just love how she lied on the back." Ian pointed out. He flipped the invite over so Eddie and Tyler could read it. In black ink Lisa wrote:
Sorry this is such short notice. Melissa has found the love of her life and wants to get married and my husband and I just couldn't tell our baby girl no! I hope you can clear your schedule and attend!
With Love,
Lisa Sanders
"The love of her life?!" Tyler laughed so hard he started crying.
"Mate, my favorite part is she wants to get married and they just couldn't tell their baby girl no." Ian spoke, letting out a small chuckle.
"Well, I'll be back. I have to meet Phil up. Melissa wants us to spend quality time together." Ian informed the guys. He grabbed his car keys and left.
"Ty, you have the place all to yourself. I'm gonna go see my girl." Eddie smiled, something he had caught himself doing a lot more than usual in the past week when he talked about Loren.
"You should tell her that." Tyler advised.
"Tell her what?"
"That she's your girl. I hear her and Dani on the phone all the time, even text messages they send to each other," Tyler took a breath, "she doesn't think you two are together, man. She thinks that you two are friends with benefits. She hasn't stopped it because she thinks she'll lose you."
"Are you serious?" Eddie asked in disbelief.
"As serious as an STD." Tyler said with a straight face.
—-—-—
"Mom, I really don't want to talk about this!" Melissa groaned.
"Melissa, this is important! Whether you like it or not you are going to be a mother before you know it! You have to know where you're going to live, who's going to watch the baby while you're at college, and what Ian is going to be contributing!" Lisa pushed.
"I'm moving in with Ian and the boys. You already knew that. They have an extra bedroom at the Penthouse which we're going to make into the baby's nursery." Melissa informed her mother for the third time in the past four days.
"And who's going to be watching you're child while you're getting an education? His rock star friend Eddie and the actor Tyler? They don't even look like they know how to change a diaper! And what the hell is Ian contributing?"
"Mom, stop!" Melissa put her hair in a messy bun.
"I want answers Melissa!"
Mel sighed, "Fine. I'm not going to college. I'm staying home with the baby. Ian and I talked about it. It's not what either of us wants, he wants me to get an education and I do too, but it's what I have to do, at least for the first year."
"I don't like that, but I don't get a say in this do I?" Lisa asked. Melissa shook her head no.
"Fine, what about Ian?"
"He makes more money than you ever will in your lifetime mother."
"Melissa, be respectful." Gus walked into the kitchen and gave Melissa a kiss on the cheek.
"He's a well known photographer in Australia and is making his way up here in the U.S. People pay a lot of money for him to take their pictures." Mel informed her parents. Lisa nodded.
"Mel, does he travel a lot?" Gus asked.
"Yeah. He said he's going to settle down here though. When his biological parents were alive they moved around a lot and left him with nannies or the Duran's, he doesn't want that for our baby."
"What happened to his parents?" Gus asked out of curiosity.
"Car accident when he was eight. They were on their way to a party. He doesn't like getting into the details, mainly because it's hard for him and he doesn't really know, but his dad died on scene and his mom made it to the hospital but was announced brain dead an hour later. The Duran's adopted him a year later."
"That's too bad." Lisa said, but it was evident she didn't care. When Melissa opened her mouth the door bell rang.
"I'll get it." Melissa jumped up at the chance to get away from her mother. When she opened the door she was in shock by the face behind it, "Adam," She sighed, "what are you doing here?"
" A week ago I planned on coming here to tell you that I love you and we could work it out, but then I saw this in Cam's room." Adam held up Cameron's invitation.
"Adam, let me explain this to you. It's complicated. Please listen to me." Melissa spoke softly.
"No! I'm done. Really done this time. And I guess the rumor about you being pregnant isn't a rumor." Adam looked at her small bump. She was ten and a half weeks, so it was becoming visible... and it didn't help she was only wearing a tight tank-top and yoga pants.
"I love him." Melissa stated. It sounded real when the three words came out. Ian and she had been practicing it 24/7 for the past week.
"And I loved you."
—-—-—
Not even ten minutes after her conversation with Adam, Ian showed up. "Hey Mel." He gave her a hug.
"Hi." She smiled.
"Where's everybody?" He noticed she was sitting in the living room alone watching Teen Mom.
"My parents are yelling at each other in their room and Phil is eating lunch. We aren't going to end up like them, right?" Mel pointed to the TV. One of the couples just ended their relationship.
"Technically we aren't in a relationship, but no. We aren't going to end up like them, love."
"Good." Just then, Phil walked out if the kitchen and sat next to Melissa.
"We need to talk."
"About what Philip?"
"Alone."
"He's my fiancé and the father of my child. He can be here." Mel smirked. She loved teasing her brother... And, this wedding might be forced, but she sort of liked the idea of being Ian's wife. She's really gotten to know him. They've spent a lot of time together talking.
"Fine, why'd you cheat on Adam?"
"It's this conversation again? Really Phil?"
"Ya."
"Well, guess what? I still don't know. Have fun boys!" Melissa got up from her spot on the couch, kissed Ian on the cheek, and then jogged upstairs.
—-—-—
"Loren?"
"Yeah, Dad?"
"Someone's at the door for you!" Loren knew it was Eddie.
"Hey!" She smiled when she saw him.
"Hey."
"Dad, this is Eddie. Eddie this is my dad." She introduced the both of them.
"It's nice to finally meet you Mr. Tate."
"You too Eddie. Call me Trent, my father is Mr. Tate." Trent walked away.
"Come sit in the back with me?" Loren suggested and offered her hand. Eddie took it. Once they were comfortable on the hammock, Eddie started a conversation.
"Graduation's coming up."
"It is, it is. It's bittersweet, but I am so excited."
"Am I invited?" Eddie asked intertwining their fingers.
"Only if you want to." Loren played it off as she didn't care, secretly it meant the world to her.
"What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't?" He started rubbing her belly. She was only wearing a yellow Victoria's Secret PINK crop mesh tee and loose sweatpants with the word "Dance" going down the leg.
"Did you just say boyfriend?" Loren smiled.
"Yeah. We've been having this thing for a little while now. I think it's time to make it official." Eddie kissed her cheek.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"When's our first official date?" Loren giggled.
"The wedding."
"That doesn't count!"
"Psh, yes it does." Eddie kissed her before she could say anything else.
—-—-—
"Um, do you want something to drink?" Phil tried to be nice.
"I'm good, thank you Phil."
"Yeah." Phil sat on the couch and motioned for Ian to join him.
"Here." Ian broke the awkward silence and gave Phil a black box.
"What the hell? Do you know expensive these are? Are you a like a pimp or something? Is that how you afford all the shit you have?!" Phil was flabbergasted at the gift Ian had just presented him with.
"Relax mate, it's a present from Eddie. He thinks everyone needs to be wearing Rolex's." Ian put his hands up.
"Look, I like this... A lot, but you can't bribe me with stuff. No matter who paid for it, dude. You still got my baby sister knocked up and you're about walk down the aisle. The only reason I haven't kicked your ass is because she likes you. She wants this to work." Phil sighed in frustration, "What do you even know about her?" Phil looked at Ian.
"A lot."
"Full name?"
"Melissa Anne Sanders. They originally wanted to name her Melanie but your father didn't like it."
"Color?"
"Purple. She loves cheetahs; she broke her first bone, ankle to be exact, when she was four. Your grandfather let her go on the monkey bars by herself. I can keep going Phil, but I know your sister better than you think."
"Why'd you let her do it? You know, sleep with you?" Phil asked after a minute.
"I didn't know, that uh, that she had a boyfriend or that she was a virgin." Ian answered.
"Don't hurt her Ian. If you do, you will never be able to have anymore babies... Or sex for that matter. Got it?"
"Got it." Ian gulped.
—-—-—
"Hello Melissa, how's the baby?"
"Baby is doing amazing. Thanks for asking Mr. Masters!" Melissa replied with a smile,"Is Aid home?"
"She's in her room, you can go right up." Don smiled back.
"Thanks." Melissa made her way up stairs and knocked on Adrianna's door.
"What?" Adrianna screamed, clearly in a bad mood.
"It's me, Mel."
"OH! Come in!"
"Hey, I have a favor to ask you." Melissa wasted no time when she entered the bedroom.
"Okay?" Aid answered skeptically.
"Ian has three groomsmen slash best men... Phil, Eddie, and Tyler. I only have two bridesmaids slash maids of honor, Loren and Danielle, I was wondering if you would be my third? I hope you say yes. I know we aren't that close but we are friends and you make Phil happy so-" Melissa rambled on before Aid cut her off.
"MELISSA! SHUT UP! OF COURSE I'LL SAY YES!" Adrianna squealed.
Melissa just laughed.
—-—-—
"Eddie it's a pleasure having you for dinner. Thanks for staying." Nora smiled at him.
"Thank you for having me Mrs. Tate."
"You can me Nora, Mrs. Tate is his mother." Nora stated and pointed at her husband.
"Okay."
"So Eddie, how's living the rock star life?" Trent asked.
"It's not all it's cracked up to be. The paparazzi get crazy. Fans hunt you down." Eddie answered truthfully.
"Loren you ready for his world?" Trent teased.
"Nope!" Everybody laughed.
"Well Eddie, I have a confession, I love your parents. Loren knows the songs inside and out, I played them so much."
"She was singing a long to their first album this morning." Loren smiled.
"You heard?! I thought you were sleeping!" Nora blushed. "Nope, I was looking at dresses with Mel over FaceTime."
"My parents are going to be happy to know they still have fans." Eddie chuckled.
"Forever and always!" Nora grinned.
"Are you going to Melissa's wedding with Loren?" Trent asked.
"Yeah, but I would be there regardless. Ian's my brother."
"Oh. Okay." Trent nodded.
"Don't get any ideas." Nora mumbled, but she was too loud.
"MOM!" Loren screamed. Her eyes widened along side with Eddie's and Trent started choking on his steak.
"I meant to say that in my head." Nora stated embarrassed, "Who wants pie?" Nora asked in hopes of taking their minds of what she said.
"Everyone." Trent answered.
"I'll go get it." Nora quickly got to her feet and left the room.
"Sorry." Loren whispered loud enough for just Eddie to hear.
"Don't worry about." He whispered back. Nora placed the Pecan Pie on the table and served everybody.
