Chapter 33

Doctor: The babies are both perfectly healthy.

Loren: Did you just say babies?

Doctor: I sure did.

Loren: So I am having more than one?

Doctor: Yeah

Melissa: How many are there exactly?

Doctor: Two

Melissa: Twins, Lo, that's so cute.

Loren looks like she is about to throw up, the doctor quickly takes a garbage can out of nowhere, Loren throws up into it.

Doctor: I think we are done here for today. You can schedule an appointment with the receptionist for a month from now.

The doctor gets up to leave.

Melissa: Thank you doctor.

Doctor: You're welcome ladies, have a great day.

The doctor leaves.

Loren: How did this happen.

Melissa: The usual way I assume.

Loren: Mel,

Melissa: Sorry you walked right into that.

Loren: Two?

Melissa: Lo, I know that seems daunting right now, but come on Lo, you always wanted a sibling now you can give your children the sibling you never had.

Loren and Melissa leave the doctor's office and they hang out together for the rest of the day. The next three weeks pass by in a whirlwind of activity. Melissa and Ian have gotten extremely close and Max and Nora are loving every second of their married life together.

Eddie and Loren on the other hand have reached a rough patch in their relationship. Every time Eddie tried to get Loren to plan the wedding, Loren would freeze up and try to change the subject. Eddie was starting to get really worried about Loren, while Loren was really worried about having to tell Eddie about the babies. She herself had just come to terms with this new reality, she knew she would have to tell Eddie soon as she was about to start her second trimester which meant she would start to show, she was just afraid that Eddie would leave her if he knew. Eddie decided he would finally confront Loren about what was bothering her.

Eddie: Loren can you come sit down here next to me on the couch?

Loren: Sure Eddie, Whats up?

Eddie: That's what I want you to tell me.

Loren: I'm not sure what you want me to say?

Eddie: Loren, ever sine the engagement party a month ago you have been avoiding me?

Loren: What do you mean avoiding you? I've seen you every day, talked to you, I wouldn't exactly call that avoiding.

Eddie: Well you've been here physically but emotionally I feel as if you have been on a whole other planet, you barely kiss me, we haven't had sex since the night I proposed and every time I try to plan the wedding you avoid the topic altogether. Lo, Whats going on? I know there is something bothering you and I really want to help you through this, whatever it is.

Loren: Eddie, really its nothing you have to worry about.

Even as Loren said it, she knew she was lying and she noticed that Eddie wasn't really buying it.

Eddie: Lo, you are going to marry me, that means all your problems will be mine as well. Loren, I want to be here for you and help you get through this, but Lo, the only way I can do that though is if you talk to me.
