A Surprise Guest









Chapter 11:









"Oh my God!" exclaimed Lizzie.

Miranda ran out and hugged her. "Surprise!"

"Yeah!" exclaimed Lizzie. "I cannot believe you didn't say anything. You must have been planning this for weeks."

"Months." Replied Miranda. "And I'm as shocked as you are!"

"So, this is my cue to exit." Piped up Gordo.

"Yes Gordo, we'll put you out of your misery. Feel free to leave." Miranda told him.

"Thanks." He remarked. "Bye sweetheart." He kissed Lizzie goodbye, and rolled his eyes as he walked away hearing all the "awwws" from the shower guests.

Lizzie had finally gotten over the surprise, and started to greet the ladies gathered for her wedding shower. "Hi Hannah!" and "How are you Laura?"

She was about to greet another one of her college friends when she heard an all too familiar voice cry out "Lizzie honey! Over here!"

Lizzie stopped dead in her tracks. Of course she was there, why wouldn't she be? Lizzie slowly turned around and prepared herself.

"Mom!" she exclaimed, giving her mom a big hug. "I can't believe you're here!"

"No way in the world would I miss my baby's wedding shower!" Jo McGuire exclaimed.

Lizzie gave a nervous laugh at the word baby. "I'm so glad to se you!"

"Me too sweetie." Replied Jo. "And, there are a few more people who made the trek with me."

"Hi Lizzie!" exclaimed Roberta Gordon.

"Hi Mrs. Gordon!" exclaimed Lizzie, giving her a big hug.

"Don't forget about me!" yelled another voice.

Lizzie looked over to see her cousin, Megan. "Hi Meg!" she exclaimed.

"Hey!" she replied back, hugging Lizzie.

"I can't believe you guys came all the way from California." Remarked Lizzie. "But I'm glad you did!"

"Us too!" replied Megan.

"Oh, and Melina sends her love. She wanted to come, but she had an important case." Explained Jo.

Lizzie laughed. Melina was interning at a law firm during her final year of law school, and had apparently was very good at it. Besides that, she and Matt had gotten very serious right after high school. She wouldn't be surprised if there was another McGuire wedding by this time next year.

Lizzie spent the next hour chatting, laughing and reminiscing with all her friends. Finally, Miranda called everyone to sit down while she gave a little speech.

"Hi everyone!" started Miranda. "First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for coming this afternoon. It's wonderful for us to be here to show Lizzie how much we love and support her, as she prepares for the biggest moment of her life."

Everyone clapped.

"I have known Lizzie and Gordo since we were all four years old. And I have loved them both since then. I could not think of two better friends to have. I have been especially close to Lizzie. She is my best friend in the entire world. She has always been there for me, from crushes, to fashion crisis," everyone laughed. "from hurt feelings, to family problems, from elementary school, to middle school, to high school, college, and even now. As we were growing up, and even now, Lizzie isn't just my best friend, she's like my sister. She has given me her unconditional friendship and support, and I honestly cannot picture my life without her. I also could not picture my life without her and Gordo being together. We all know that they have been in love since they were infants. No two people were meant more for each other. There is not a doubt in my mind that they will have a wonderful and joy-filled marriage. And although she is starting a new phase in her life, I will always be here for her. I love you Lizzie."

Lizzie got a bit teary eyed as she got up to hug Miranda. "I love you too." She whispered to her.

"Thank you Miranda." Said Lizzie, taking the floor. "Also, I'd like to thank all of you for being here today. I love you all, and I wouldn't be here without you."

Everyone clapped.

"Here, here!" cheered Mrs. McGuire.

"Yes," added Mrs. Gordon, raising her glass. "And here's to gathering together next year for a baby shower!"

Lizzie almost passed out.
