Lizzie wasn't having a baby. No diapers, no little shoes, no nothing. She was so disappointed. She threw the test into the trashcan and ran into her room. She cried until she thought she had no more tears then she just laid there until Gordo got home. Miranda must have told him where she was and what she was doing because he came in and laid next to her while he rubbed her hair. She snuggled into his strong arms and fell asleep.

At 8:00 Miranda came in with dinner. Gordo ate but Lizzie waved it away.

THE NEXT MORNING

Gordo had to get to work. He was going to be late but Lizzie was still upset and she needed support in times like these. So he got up, got ready, and left.

Lizzie's head was pounding from all the crying she had done. She looked over to her side expecting Gordo to still be there, but the bed was empty. She looked over to her other side. The clock said it was 11:19 so she decided to get up. Next to her clock was a little card from Gordo. It said

Dear Lizzie, I love you so much. Just because we aren't having a baby now doesn't mean it won't happen. So keep your chin up, and always remember I love you more than life itself! XOXOXOXO, Gordo

The letter made Lizzie want to start crying again. She loved Gordo so much. He was so sweet. She realized that all she needed was him, and she was set for life. She jumped out of bed and went to greet Miranda and baby David.

Miranda was in the kitchen watching Spanish soap operas with baby David in a sling that hung from her shoulder.

"Can I hold him?" Lizzie asked shyly.

"Oh, Lizzie your awake!" Miranda said handing David to Lizzie.

Lizzie cuddled the small baby.

"I realized that as long as I have Gordo, I don't need to be depressed about this whole baby thing." Lizzie told Miranda.

"You are so right!" Miranda said.

Lizzie took the little baby to the kitchen table to sit down with him.

The baby started to coo while Lizzie rubbed his head.

After about 20 minutes of playing with him Lizzie decided that she needed to clean to get her mind off babies.

She decided to clean up the bathroom first. The test wrapper was still on the counter so she threw it away. The test was in the trash can. She decided to check it again just in case.

No, she wasn't pregnant.

She finished cleaning up the bathroom and went to talk to Miranda.
