Chapter 15: A big decision

"Lizzie, Matt, can you come down here for a minute? We have something to tell you!" Jo McGuire said with a sad tone to her voice and her kids trotted down the stairs.

"What is it, Mom? Is something wrong?" Lizzie asked with a lot of concern in her voice.

"Kids, your father and I. See, your father, he. Your dad. Sam. My husband-" She couldn't continue with what she was about to say. It hurt too much. She couldn't even imagine the looks that her children would give their father after they found out he was cheating on their mother with a 25 year old woman that worked at his office. Suddenly, Sam spoke up.

"Kids, don't be mad at me. I have been.. seeing a woman from my office without you or your mother knowing and, well, your mother found us. um, u get the picture, and, well, um, we're getting a divorce and I'm moving to New York. And I get full custody of one of you."

"WHAT?!" they both shouted in unison, not believing the words that their father was saying. Lizzie stormed up to her room, while Matt just stared at his father with a looks of disgust all over his face. "How could you do something like that?" He asked, not looking for an answer, and pounded up the stairs to Lizzie's room.

***Lizzie's room***

Lizzie was too busy sobbing to notice the knock at her door. "Lizzie?" She heard the voice of her little brother from the other side. Slowly, the door opened, and in walked Matt.

"Did you hear what he said? He said he gets FULL CUSTODY of one of us! God! I don't want to move. but I don't want YOU to move, either. I don't know how I'd survive without you to pick on." She smiled as she said the last part. Matt smiled back. "And if I move, I'll be leaving my Gordo, and if you move, You'll be leaving Miranda. It's a lose lose situation. Matt? Who do you think he's going to bring with him to New York?" Matt shook his head. He didn't want to leave what he had here. What would he do without his friends, sister, mother and girlfriend? He didn't want to think about it. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and in came their "father".

"What do you want?" Lizzie said with little emotion in her voice. Then their mom walked in.

"Kids, we have come to a decision as to who gets who, and you both know that neither of us want to give either of you kids up. But, Sam thought it would be easier if he took.
