Gordo looked at Dawn square in the face.

"Dawn, I'm sorry, but I love Lizzie." He said slowly and clearly. Dawn gave one of those never-in-a-million-years-would-I-expect-to-hear-this looks. Gordo braced for the worst.

"Fine." She said tersely. Gordo almost fell over. 'Fine' was not a response he had planned on. Dawn glared at him.

"But I'll have you know, DAVID, that the studio YOU work for is MY father's, along with the apartment you so lovingly share with me. So, you can kiss your job, your home, AND your paycheck GOODBYE!"

Gordo watched her strut to the elevators and leave. He felt hot and cold all at the same time. 'Okay, think' he said to himself. 'We still have the two weeks on the island before I have to tell her. Two weeks.' Gordo convinced himself that he didn't have to tell Lizzie or the kids until it was absolutely necessary.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ One Week Later ^^^^^^^^^^

'It's absolutely necessary.' Thought Gordo as he sipped his mango colada in his chaise lounger on the beach. While Lizzie and the kids were changing into their suits to come down to the beach, Gordo was thinking and rethinking his decision. Dawn had thrown all his stuff out to the curb- literally. He had to beg Miranda to let him use her garage to keep all is stuff.

They had all just arrived at the hotel that morning. Gordo had put all his stuff away and went down to the beach. He was dreaming away when he felt someone standing in front of him. It was Lizzie. It was Lizzie in a black string bikini. It was the one woman Gordo had wanted to see in a black string bikini wearing one.

"Come on Nerd, let's go!" cried Hunter, drawing away Gordo's attention. They ran hand-in-hand into the ocean. And that is how they spent the entire day-like a family.

Lizzie went up to the bar to get a drink. The bartender, a woman, was smiling quaintly at Gordo and the kids.

"You have such a wonderful husband! I wish mine would take me away somewhere-with the kids! Oh, I am SO jealous!" she laughed as she served Lizzie.

"Yeah. He is great." Said Lizzie with a smile.

"How long have you been married?" asked the bartender. Lizzie caught her breath and thought quick.

"We married when we were twenty-two. We're both twenty-nine." She said.

"That's so nice to hear! Finally, a happy couple with happy children and a happy life. So many people get divorces these days or are in abusive relationships. It's nice to see yours."

Lizzie blushed and smiled and accepted her drink. As she walked back to the beach, she saw Gordo with Hunter on his back and AnnaBeth hugging his legs. Lizzie laughed and waved at them.

"Mommy!" cried AnnaBeth as she ran up to her and hugged her. "This is so much fun!" Lizzie watched as Gordo came to shore- with Hunter still hanging from him. Hunter jumped off and grabbed his Coke.

"So, how are you liking the island?" asked Gordo.

"This is the greatest thing ever!!" laughed Hunter. AnnaBeth nodded in agreement.

"Would you want to stay another week or two?" said Gordo slyly.

"But Gordo, won't that be too expensive?" asked Lizzie.

"No. My dad pays three thousand dollars a month to have the condo for everything. I've already asked him if we could stay for three weeks and he said yes."

"This is the bestest summer vacation evuhr!" cried AnnaBeth. Lizzie hugged Gordo and said, "Thanks." Gordo blushed and smiled.

"Mommy?" asked AnnaBeth. Gordo slipped his hand around Lizzie's waist and she let it stay there.

"What?" she asked.

"Is Gordo our new daddy? Because I think I like him better than real daddy."
