In this story, the characters are way out of character. I know this
would never happen in the perfect world of Lizzie McGuire. This is my first
attempt at fan fiction so I hope everyone likes it.
Disclaimer: I don't own the show or the characters from Lizzie McGuire.
Chapter 1- Tragedy Strikes
18-year-old Lizzie McGuire's life was about as perfect as it could get. How could it get any better when she has a loving mother, two of the best friends the world could offer, a younger brother that she was now friends with after years of torturing, and a boyfriend that she fell more in love with every day that also happened to be one of her two best friends.
"Only a few weeks left; I'm so excited honey!" exclaimed Jo McGuire, Lizzie's mother, on the way home from her doctors appointment.
"I know! I can't wait!" Lizzie answered The two continued to talk about the new baby they were expecting when a drunk driver drifted over into their lane.
"Mom, look out!" Lizzie screamed as her mother attempted to swerve. The crunch of metal and broken glass was heard as impact was made. Their car went through the guardrail and over a hill. That was the last thing either of them remembered as the car bounced and rolled down the hill. Lizzie slowly opened her eyes to realize what had just happened. She was suspended up side down, held up only by her seatbelt. She looked around frantically trying to find her mother, but could not see her. "Mom? Where are you?" She yelled, but got no response. She unbuckled her seatbelt and tumbled onto the roof of the car. Her head was pounding and blood was making her vision blurry, but she had to search for her mother. She could hear sirens in the distance as she saw her mother laying lifelessly 10 feet away from the wreckage. She tried to run as fast as she could over there and was pulled away by paramedics when she got there and taken to the hospital. Lizzie woke up in a hospital room and looked around to find her boyfriend, David "Gordo" Gordon, sleeping in the chair by her bead. "Gordo, wake up.Gordo!" "Huh? What.Lizzie? You're awake!" He exclaimed as he jumped out of his chair to get a doctor.
A doctor rushed in and started to take her vitals.
"Where's my mother? How's the baby?" Lizzie asked frantically.
"I think we need to concentrate on you for right now, Ms. McGuire. You appear to have no broken bones, but obtained quite a knock to your head and have a mild concussion. We'd like to hold you for a few days to make sure there is nothing wrong under the surface." The doctor informed her without looking her in the eye.
As the doctor walked out, Lizzie focused on Gordo.
"Gordo, where is my mom?" she asked him, needing a straight answer.
"I don't know Lizzie. The important thing is that you are okay."
"No Gordo! What about the baby?" She cried.
"Sweetheart, calm down. Just wait it out. They will tell you what you need to know when they find it out. Why don't you try to get some rest?" He tried to soothe her.
"I guess you're right. Will you stay and hold my hand until I fall asleep?" She asked with a pitiful look on her face.
"Of course I will honey. I'm always here for you; you know that. I love you." He told her.
"I love you too." She whispered as she drifted off.
The next time she woke up, both her boyfriend and her best friend, Miranda, were in the room. Miranda was standing by Gordo crying as Gordo hugged her. Gordo has tears in his eyes threatening to fall. Lizzie knew something had happened to her mother or the baby inside of her.
"What happened?" Lizzie asked with a look of terror in her eyes.
Miranda and Gordo looked at each other as if deciding which would be the bearer of bad news. Gordo stepped up to Lizzie and took her hand gently. Miranda came up on the other side of her and took her other hand.
"Honey, I have some bad news for you." He told her as he looked down at their interlocked fingers.
"What happened? What's wrong with my mom? Is the baby okay?" She almost yelled as her eyes searched theirs looking for answers.
"The baby is fine Lizzie. They brought your mom in and performed and emergency cesarean section and delivered her without a problem." Miranda told her with an attempt at a small smile.
"What about my mom?" Lizzie asked with hope her in her eyes.
"Lizzie, this is really hard for me to tell you. Honey, your mother didn't make it through the birth. She was extremely unstable when they brought her in and had really bad head injuries so they had to rush to deliver the baby. She passed during the birth." Gordo told her as tears finally escaped his eyes.
Lizzie just stared at him as if she expected him to grow a second head. Everything in the room was silent as Lizzie just looked around waiting for this nightmare to be over. She finally gave into the sorrowful tears that had been brewing. She broke down and clung to her friends for dear life.
"I can't believe this! First my father leaves us and now my mother dies! Why does life have to be so screwed up?" she practically screamed as her body was racked with sobs.
Miranda left the room so Gordo could talk to her and calm her down.
"Liz, you still have so much. You know I'll never leave you. Miranda is here for you always too." He told her sincerely.
"You guys should probably leave. You'll probably die or be forced out my life somehow now. I'm cursed!" She stated more calmly.
"Lizzie, there is no way that I'm ever going anywhere. I already told you I'm going to marry you someday. You will never be alone." He told her trying to ease her fears.
Lizzie finally really started to calm down. Something dawned on her and Gordo already knew what it was and was dreading the question.
"What's going to happen to the baby now?" She asked her friends.
"I guess she'll either go to a family member or be put up for adoption." Gordo answered honestly with his eyes downcast.
Please review and tell me if I'm doing okay with my first story. Let me know if I should continue. Thanks!
