Gordo walked off the plane and to the luggage exchange, he was so happy to be almost home. He picked up his luggage and walked to short term parking. He arrived at his car, popped the trunk open, put his luggage inside and climbed in. Gordo yawned, and shook his head as he got into the car. The airport was only a half hour from their house, but it seemed like much longer. He passed the digital bean and glanced at the teenagers hanging outside. That place held so many memories. Especially since that is where he had proposed to Lizzie, he thought it was the perfect place. It was where they had basically spent their childhoods. He was still madly in love with Lizzie, in fact probably more. He pulled into their drive way, put the car in park, and got his luggage out of the back. He walked up the walk and opened the front door. He quietly walked inside and set his bag by the table that was next to the door. All the lights were off which was weird… it was only 6 o'clock, Sinead didn't go to bed until around 8:30, and Lizzie stayed up past 10. Gordo walked into the kitchen and flicked on the lights. Not family here, only a little pink dress up shoe, 2 Barbie's and Lizzie's magazine. Gordo sighed and walked up the steps to their bedroom. He paused outside Sinead's room and saw the unmade bed, with lots of little girl clothes on the floor. Just like Lizzie, as messy as ever. He walked into their bedroom and changed into a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. It felt good to get that stupid suit off. He walked to the table beside his bed and hit the play button on the message machine.
"Hey Gordo, its Matt, just wanted to let you and Lizzie know that Melina is in town with one of her friends from college and she wants all of us, and Sinead of course, to have lunch tomorrow afternoon,. Hope you don't have to work, its Saturday you know. Well give me a call when you get this, Oh and Miranda Ethan and Evan are going... Bye."
Matt and Melina had been dating since their senior year in highschool; Matt just turned 21, and was always asking Gordo how married life was. Gordo told him great of course, because it was. Matt had asked him if he thought he should marry Melina, or ask her to marry him. Gordo has been pretty shocked by the question, he had told him to, follow his heart. And he had, he asked her the very next day. Matt goes to California State University, and Melina goes to Arizona State University. So they had postponed the wedding until they both graduated. Gordo picked up the phone, then put it back down. He would have to ask Lizzie if she wanted to go to breakfast tomorrow. She probably would, but he would just wait. He laid back on the bed and closed his eyes; maybe he would take a little nap until they got home... Just a little one... He thought as he drifted off into a deep sleep.
Lizzie said her goodbyes to Miranda and Evan, and buckled Sinead in her car seat.
"Is daddy home" Sinead has asked Lizzie, as she squirmed in her seat. Lizzie knew the answer, of course he wasn't he was never home. But she had just said maybe. By the time they got home it was 8 o'clock. Lizzie noticed a familiar car in the driveway when she pulled in. Gordo's Blazer…she quickly put the car in park and unbuckled Sinead quickly. Sinead recognized the car too, because she kept chanting Daddy…Daddy…Daddy... Lizzie threw open the front door, and looked around. Silence. Oh well, maybe he was sleeping. She crept up stairs, carrying Sinead, because she was quickly falling asleep. She opened her bedroom door, and found Gordo asleep on top of the covers.
"Daddy's asleep sweetheart, we will see him tomorrow." She told the now sleeping Sinead.
Lizzie carried her into her room, quickly changed her into her pajamas and put her to bed. She kissed her forehead.
"I love you, good night" Lizzie kissed her cheek, turned on the night light and left the door open a crack. When she got back to the room, Gordo was still asleep. She wanted to talk to him so bad, but he looked so tired. She changed into one of Gordo's oversized t-shirts, and felt someone watching her. She looked over and Gordo had his hands behind his head and was smiling at her. He slowly got up and walked towards Lizzie.
"Oh I missed you" She said as Gordo wrapped his hands around her waist. He kissed her deeply and smiled.
"You have no idea, how much I missed you." He told her as he kissed her again. Lizzie sat down on the edge of the bed and Gordo sat next to her. He pushed her blonde hair off her neck and started playfully kissing her there. She had to get something out, because she knew where this was going.
"Gordo, stop for a sec ok?" He looked at her, and gave her a confused smiled.
"Sinead asked me something very disturbing today..." She told him. She knew this was going to crush him, but she had to tell him…"She asked me why her daddy didn't love her anymore." Gordo reeled back like he had been slapped. She looked into his eyes, and he looked like he was about to cry. But he would never cry in front of her, she knew he had to be the strong male figure, no matter how much it hurt him. Lizzie put her hand on his knee and smiled.
"I told her, you still love her, and that you have just been busy..." Lizzie said with a sad smile.
"She. Thinks I don't love her." Gordo said to himself...
"No... She knows you do, she just wondered why you didn't for a second, its just that you are never home... I understand you have to work late, but she wonders why you never see her anymore."
Gordo smiled; trying to cheer up, "Well, I'm here, this whole weekend…and I'm here now" He leaned over and kissed Lizzie softly on the lips.
"Another thing, I was just wondering…it's nothing bad." Lizzie started. "I just wanted to know if you still wanted to have more children. We haven't talked about it for a while, and Sinead is growing up so fast... I don't want them to be that far spaced and-"Lizzie couldn't finish her sentence because Gordo kissed her passionately.
"Of course, I do…I'm sorry I haven't been home and we... you know... haven't had the chance... but I still love you... and I do still want more children..." Gordo finished by kissing her again. Then he whispered "Why don't we start now..." Lizzie smiled, nodded her head as Gordo kissed her and she returned his kiss, as Gordo slowly leaned her back on the bed.
The next morning Lizzie woke up to the smell of eggs and Bacon. She could hear giggles, which meant Sinead was up. She put on her robe and slippers and walked downstairs. She saw Gordo's curly head sitting at the kitchen table reading the paper; he looked up and smiled at her.
"Morning baby, have a good night sleep?" He asked her, smiling.
"Excellent, thanks" Lizzie told him. He winked at her then went back to reading his paper.
"Mommy, mommy, me and daddy made chocolate chip pancakes and eggs, wants ome?" Lizzie knew ome meant some; she sat beside Sinead who was eating a plateful of pancakes, and some orange juice. Gordo got up and put some pancakes, eggs and a glass of juice in front of Lizzie. He kissed her cheek and sat back down. He was in a good mood.
"So what do my girls want to do today?" Gordo asked.
"What do you wanna do today daddy..?" Sinead asked him, smiling. Lizzie giggled; Sinead had chocolate all over her face.
"Well, Uncle Matt, wanted to know if we all wanted to go for lunch with Him, Melina, Aunt Miranda, Uncle Ethan and Evan?" Gordo told Sinead.
Sinead squealed and nodded yes she walked over to Gordo and sat on his lap. Lizzie looked over at them, they were so alike. There brown curls a mess on the top of their heads. Sinead gave Gordo a kiss and then came over and gave Lizzie one.
"Hunny, you want to get cleaned up before we go to lunch later?" Lizzie asked her. She gave Gordo a kiss on his lips, which tasted like chocolate chips. "Sinead, go give daddy a kiss on the lips, he taste like chocolate." Sinead gave Gordo a kiss on the lips and he set down his paper, picked her up and started tickling her. "Maybe you want daddy to give you a bath?" Sinead yelled yes, yes, in between giggles.
"Ok you two have fun, I'm going to go get showered and dressed." Lizzie walked up the steps, smiling to herself. Things were turning out to be ok, at least for a little while.
