Gordo sat up stiffly. He could feel his heart in his throat. This was not happening. Oh no and not never. Gordo took several deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.

"Gordo?"

Gordo practically jumped out of his skin when he heard Lizzie's voice. She sat down next to him and buckled in. She look dreadfully serious and Gordo's fears quickly returned.

"I need to talk to you." she said.

"What's....uhm...up?"

"Gordo, Hunter told me that he told you. I know its not what you expected but we can work it out. Even if you don't want me anymore, I can work this out."

"Lizzie, I don't even know what's going on."

"What?? But didn't Hunter tell you??"

"He said some very cryptic things- nothing really specific."

"Oh."

"Lizzie, are you---pregnant?"

"How'd you know?! You don't think I'm, " she quieted her voice. "showing, do you!?"

"No. No."

"Oh, good."

"Lizzie, I just want to know who is the father of the baby?"

"Gordo, I don't know."

"Well, I don't mean to sound blunt but, how manyh people have you had se--- "

"Two!"

"Who?"

"You."

"And?"

"When Luke...when he...."

"I understand."

"No, Gordo, I don't think you do."

"Lizzie, please let me help you."

"I don't want this to be the burden that drags you down. You've got dreams, Gordo. Big dreams that are going to come crashing down if you get stuck with a child."

"Lizzie, you and Hunter and AnnaBeth and now this baby ARE my dreams."

"So, you're not mad??"

"How could I be?"

"Thank You. I love you, Gordo."

"I love you too Lizzie."

They rode the rest of the flight in eachother's arms. When they landed, they drove back to Lizzie's house. It seemed so quaint and quiet. Gordo was the first to go in, then Hunter and AnnaBeth. It took Lizzie the longest to come inside.

The first thing Gordo did was rip the sheets, curtains, pillowcases, blankets, and rugs from the master bedroom- where 'it' had all happened. He threw them in a trash bag and put it outside. Then- and only then- could Lizzie enter the room again. She laid on the bed and cried. She cried the whole day. Gordo fed the kids, put them to bed and waited for Lizzie. But she never came out.

The next morning, Gordo was asleep on the couch when he felt something touch his shoulder.

"Morning." said Lizzie. Her eyes were puffy and her face was red.

"Morning." said Gordo, opening his arms so the Lizzie could lie next to him.

"I love you." said Lizzie.

"I love you." said Gordo.
