Chapter 32

Loren turns over the stick and looks at the results.

Melissa: So?

Loren hands Melissa the stick and she reads the results.

Melissa: Loren, are you okay with the results?

Loren: I think so, Why did this have to happen to me? Why now?

Melissa: Lo, I get your scared and nervous but it will be okay. Eddie will make a great dad.

Loren: I know, its just that I'm so young I never thought I would be a mom by the time I was twenty.

Melissa: I know and you will be a great mom, I know you will. I think we should get back out there to the others now, they are probably really worried.

Loren: I just need a minute to process this.

Melissa: Okay one minute and after that we have to get back out there and you have to tell Eddie that you are pregnant.

Loren: What?! No way am I telling Eddie, I cant risk him leaving me because of this.

Melissa: Lo, you have to tell Eddie, he has a right to know, after all it is his child too you can't hide it from him.

Loren: I cant tell him not now.

Melissa: So when? The day you get married when you are seven months pregnant and have a huge belly? Or when all of a sudden you go in to the hospital and give birth to a child you will say oh by the way Eddie you're a dad? How do you plan on doing it anyway, once you start showing not only Eddie will know but so will the whole world.

Loren: Mel, what am I going to do? I cant have this baby.

Melissa: You want to end the pregnancy, Lo, I know this is hard but I never thought you would stoop that low and end give up your child like that.

Loren: No, I would never do that, I could never live with myself if I did something like that.

Melissa: Lo, look I understand this is all confusing and overwhelming. But it will all work out for the best, you'll see. If you don't want to tell Eddie now, that's your choice, but you will have to tell him eventually.

Loren: Okay, tomorrow I'll call my doctor and make an appointment, I'll tell Eddie after.

Melissa: Don't you think that if you were pregnant that Eddie would want to go with you to the doctor?

Loren: Yeah, but I don't want to tell him until its confirmed that I actually am pregnant.

Melissa: Okay. Let me know when you have your appointment and I'll make sure I can join you.

Loren: Thanks Mel, you're the best.

Loren hugs Melissa, she then wipes the tears off her face, fixes her hair and makeup puts on a huge smile and they walk out of the bathroom together. Melissa walks towards Ian they link arms say their goodbyes and leave the party. Max and Nora were getting ready to leave and Eddie was standing in the middle of the room looking really worried. Loren walked straight over to him.

Eddie: Loren, are you okay?

Loren: Yeah I'm fine.

Eddie: Lo, have you been crying?

Loren: Eddie don't worry about it its just girl things.

Eddie: Okay. Lets go say good night to our parents and then we can go home.
