A month later, Lizzie and Eric were standing in the San Francisco Airport
waiting to see a familiar face, to Lizzie at least.
Jo: Lizzie!!!!
Finally one popped up around the corner followed by even more.
Jo: I missed you sooo much, hunny!
Lizzie: I missed you too mom!!
They embraced tightly while the others got intruduced.
Lizzie: Ohmigosh!!! I 'm so glad to beh ere! Everybody this is Eric Newman!
She pointed at Eric and they kissed pattionatly causing everybody to break into applause and "awes". The group contained of Jo, Sam, Matt, Melina(now Matt's girlfriend), Miranda, Ethan, and Gordo-who was not all too happy, not to see Lizzie but that she was getting married.
Sam: Here I'll take the bags Eric. I suppose this is all Lizzie's stuff?
Eric laughed a very unique laugh and they all headed in the direction of the parking lot.
Jo: Lizzie, so where are you planning on having the wedding?!
Lizzie: Well we were thinking here with you....
Jo squaled like Miranda and Lizzie did in jr. high when they saw a cute boy.
Lizzie: Since Eric's parents live in France and we don't want to travel all the way to France. His parents will fly here though. Since they are also divorced we know that there would be an argument 'bout where the wedding would take place.
Jo: How 'bout you just stay here until the wedding!
Lizzie: Eric does have work and so do I and I don't think it would be too convenient for us..... But I promise I will think about it.
Saying this Jo's cheery smile returned.
Soon enough Melina and Miranda joined the two of them and the subject turned to bridesmaid dresses and what flowers should be on the tables, while the men carried on their own conversation.
~*~Between Gordo, Sam, Matt, Ethan, and Eric~*~
Sam: So how have Lizzie and my to-be-son-in-law been doin'?
Gordo frowned at this because for some reason he thought HE was going to be the new addition to the McGuire family.
Eric(rubbed his chin and stroked his goatee): We're fine. We're gonna move in together soon and-
He was cut off with the other men's "oos" and "ahhs
He laughed at them and waved his hand in their faces while then he ran off to go be with his fiance. Almost making Gordo go histarical! *I guess I'll just have to get use to it. What are the chances of Lizzie falling in love with ME again..nil.* Gordo thought to himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a 2-hour drive back home the family piled out of the light blue van and into the-o-so-familiar house where Liz grew up in.
Ethan soon left to pick up the twins at their favorite daycare, Appleblossom Daycare Center, which astonished Lizzie to be still there since she went there when she was as young as the twins.
The whole family minggled amongst each other always breaking into applause when Liz and Eric would kiss tenderly. All of this disguisted Gordo in every way possible. He left the room and went to go sit out by the porch silently yet inside of him he was about to burst!
Lizzie noticed this and left Eric to go talk to Randa about it.
Randa: He's probably upset that Eric and you are being so lovey dovey. He always had strong feelings for you, Lizzie.
Lizzie: I know. Do you know what's strange though? I miss him.
Randa: Well of course you do. All of us miss you!
Lizzie: No Randa, I mean, in that special way.
Lizzie pressed her lips tightly together saying this obviosly trying to hold back the tears.
Randa: Go talk to him...
Lizzie threw a sudden and surprised glance at her friend and sighed deeply nodding.
Quitely Lizzie slipped out onto the porch where she met Gordo sitting on the white swing watching the golden sun set.
Lizzie: May I join you?
Gordo: Yeah..
Lizzie: It is very beautiful. Is it not?
Gordo: Yes, It's very beautiful.
Lizzie: Gordo, have you been avoiding me? I came here to see YOU
Gordo was mad now.
Gordo: No you didn't! You came here to see your whole FAMILY which soon ERIC will be a part of!
With this Gordo marched back into the McGuire house with the rest of the crowd.
Lizzie(sternly): Gordo, Come here!
Gordo was just about to slam the door but something caught him when Lizzie's voice uttered those harsh words. So he made back to the swing and looked at Lizzie demandingly.
Lizzie(quitly): I have a confession to make, Gordo.
Gordo's eyes loosened up and he hugged Lizzie sencing this was going to be a long night.
Gordo: Shhh..I'm all ears, Lizzie.
Lizzie: Remember that party we went to at the end of college?
Gordo: Oh..yes.
Lizzie: Well after that a couple weeks later I found out I..I was...pregnant.
Gordo felt a low feeling at the pit of his stomach and he felt dazed all of a sudden.
Lizzie: I'm so sooo sorry. I was already in New York and so yeah.
Gordo: Lizzie why didn't you tell me?!
Lizzie: I was afraid.
Gordo: Afraid of what, Lizzie! I'm always here for you! We'll always be friends!
Lizzie: Thats the problem...we're ONLY friends.
Gordo stiffened and threw a disbelieving glance at Lizzie.
Gordo(throwing his arms into the air, Lizzie was crying now): Lizzie! Well not like we ARE any more! So we might as well get used to it! Moreover, what happened to the IT.
Lizzie stopped crying and looked at Gordo with her deep blue eyes shoked.
Lizzie: He is not an IT. This IT was our baby! WE made it and WE got it out.
Gordo: What do you mean "was" and what do you mean by WE got it out?! I didn't even know about the damn thing! And what DID happen to IT?
Lizzie: I wish you would not call OUR baby a damn thing. And I..
Gordo: You what? What's done is done no need denying it anymore!
Lizzie: I "lost" it.
Gordo: What?
Lizzie(crying harder): That's not the worst part though!
Gordo: What?
Gordo was in complete and utter shoke.
Lizzie: I..I did it..it on purpose, lost it I mean.
Gordo hugged Lizzie and apologized for screaming at her. She hugged him back tightly. All of the high school memories returned to both of them. Gordo noticed that she was still using the same shampoo, Apricot. Her hands were still soft and velvety as always. He loved her so much and regreted for yelling at her grately since the flashbacks were punishment enough for Lizzie.
While they were hugging Eric stepped out to the front porch to get Lizzie but instead got more than he expected.
Eric: What the hell is going on here?!
