Chapter Three
~Approximately Three and a half years later~
*~~Lizzie's Life~~*
Lizzie never developed the nerve to tell Gordo the truth, and everyday she wondered if that was a mistake. She went to Miranda's wedding, and Gordo was there, but she felt she wasn't ready to talk to him.
Almost immediately after she went to the wedding, she was contacted and offered a job as a personal assistant to a designer. This really isn't what she initially had in mind, but once she heard of the job, she thought it might be fun. It meant she would have to move to Austin, Texas, but she figured it would be worth it and the job paid well, so she moved.
Her daily routine had significantly changed as well. Her job allowed her somewhat flexible hours, but there were a lot of sponsored events she had to attend on the weekends as well. She did not really date, but that was her persona choice.
Along with her job she was also a single mother with an almost three-year- old son, Jeremy David McGuire. She decided to make his middle name David at least to do as much as honor Gordo as the father, but she planned on calling him Jeremy. Even though she worked a lot, they seemed to have a really tight bond. Jeremy looked a lot like his father, though. Lizzie hoped that one day he would meet his father, whom she never stopped loving.
Every weekday, she would drop him off at day-care, go to work, pick him up at around four in the afternoon, take him to the park for a while, they would eat, go to a nice apartment they called home, sometimes watch a movie, she would read to him, and then put him to bed. Jeremy wasn't a big fan of sleeping, but he didn't complain.
Being almost three, Jeremy was a big talker, and also advanced in speech. This also reminded Lizzie of Jeremy's father. Jeremy began to ask a lot of questions about families and parents. Jeremy once asked Lizzie, "Where's daddy?" and this made Lizzie upset, but she knew that he was going to ask this, so she explained, "Daddy is not here right now. He may never be here, but you will always have me, and I love you very much." She wasn't sure how much Jeremy understood, but he seemed to understand the general idea.
Lizzie was doing absolutely fine, and had her moments of depression, but pulled her self together a few months after she gave birth. Ever since Jeremy asked these questions, though, she would cry herself to sleep most nights wishing Jeremy had a father. She decided that it might be best for Jeremy and her if she started dating again, a thing she hadn't really done since junior year of high school with anyone except Gordo.
Even though Lizzie lived in Texas, she and Miranda still remained best friends. Miranda had been married for three and a half years, and was about to have her first child, which she was excited about. Miranda and Josh were Jeremy's godparents. About five months into the pregnancy, Miranda called Lizzie and asked if Lizzie would be her baby's godmother. Lizzie was happy to accept that, and even planned a trip back to California in four months to be by Miranda's side. Jeremy, of course, would be joining. This trip was also an opportunity for Jeremy to see his Grandparents for the first time he could remember. He would be able to celebrate his third birthday with them, though.
Lizzie talked to her parents a lot as far as emailing and on the phone, but she had to admit she was really looking forward to seeing them, as well as Matt, who lived nearby and was working on becoming a lawyer.
Jo and Sam McGuire supported their daughter as much as they could. They helped her a lot financially when they found out she was pregnant, and it was mostly thanks to Jo McGuire that Lizzie had the job she had. They were initially upset that she had a child out of wedlock, but they also figured that it was Gordo's loss and that them breaking up was enough punishment. Lizzie made them promise never to tell Gordo or Gordo's parents that she had Jeremy. Jo and Sam agreed only because their daughter had been through enough heartache.
~~Gordo's Life~~
David Gordon led a busy life. He kept himself busy most of the time as to keep him from not thinking so much about Lizzie McGuire and how happy he was.
He kept in touch with Miranda, and went to her wedding. He saw Lizzie there, and she looked so beautiful and strong. He felt so sorry, but he wasn't ready to face her yet. He avoided her the whole time.
Shortly after attending the wedding, he heard that Lizzie was moving to Austin, Texas. He was upset about this and feared that this would ruin his chances of dating her again.
Gordo tried to date casually, but he soon realized that doing this would never make him forget his past. He gave up dating, and took an extra job as a sports writer for a local newspaper. He kept himself busy most nights going to games.
Two years later, he was offered a job in Austin as a prestigious advertising firm. He would be promoted and be in charge of designs, which is a big job. He also took photographs in his spare time. In his free time, he would go to Dallas or Houston and watch a sporting event and take pictures for papers. He had a very busy life.
He knew Lizzie lived in Texas, but wasn't sure where for a while, until he saw an ad for an event functioned by a Designer company. In the corner of the advertisement, there were names of the people who were involved, and sure enough, the last name there was "Elizabeth McGuire." He wanted so badly to go to this event, but opted not to because he did not want Lizzie to know that he was there, or think he was staking her. In his mind he was proud of Lizzie for being happy with her job, but at the same time he wanted them to meet.
As mentioned earlier, Gordo kept up with Miranda, and often tried to casually mention Lizzie and ask how she was doing. Miranda knew that Gordo still had feelings for Lizzie, but did not want to mess with things and tell him anything in fear that Lizzie might get hurt again, and also there was Jeremy to consider. Miranda also never told Lizzie that Gordo also resided in Austin.
Miranda debated for a long time when she found out she was pregnant who were going to be the godparents. In a perfect world, Gordo and Lizzie would be happily married with Jeremy, and they could be the Godparents together, but she wasn't sure how either one of them would feel if they knew the other one was the other godparent. After much thought, she decided even though they might not like it, Gordo and Lizzie were her friends and that she was just going to have to be selfish and ask Gordo to be the Godfather and Lizzie to be the Godmother. This did not mean they had to see each other very often, or that either of them would know.
Even though Gordo is Jewish, he was happy to except the role of the Godfather to Miranda and Josh's baby. What most people did not know, however, was that not only was Gordo going to be the Godfather, he also planned on taking a break from work and being there for Miranda when she was giving birth. The thought never occurred to him that Lizzie would be there as well.
