An Almost perfect fairy tale

Chapter 3

Coming Clean

"Lizzie your mom just called, they're home" Mrs. Sanchez yelled upstairs.

"Thanks!" She yelled back. Lizzie sat on Miranda's bed and was shaking. "I'm scared Miranda" She said. Miranda leaned over and gave her a hug. She pulled away and sighed. "Well I better get going and call Gordo so we can break the news together" Lizzie said picking up her bad filled with her clothes.

"Its gonna be ok Lizzie" Miranda offered an encouraging comment.

"Thanks Miranda"

"Your welcome, call me tonight"

"As always" Lizzie walked out of the romm with tears in her eyes. 15 minutes later she was at home.

"Lizzie!" her mother exclaimed grabbing lizzine into a huge hug. "I missed you" She hugged her tighter.

"Mom you were only gone 5 days" Mrs. Mcguire let go of her daughter and composed herself, Smoothing out her clothes.

"Sorry, I just got a little emotional" Jo said. Lizzie smiled and nodded.

"Its ok mom I missed you too" This brought a smile to Jo's face.

"Hey pumpkin" Sam Mcguire gave his daughter a hug and a quick kiss on the forehead.

"How was your trip?" Lizzie asked the two as the three of them stood in the kitchen.

"Oh you know work, boring boring" He smiled at her.

"Where's Matt?" Lizzie asked her mom.

"Still at Lannie's, I called and no one answered, they're probably out eating pizza or something" JO said, as soon as she said that the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it" Sam announced leaving the room.

"Lizzie you hungry?" Her mom asked.

"No I'm good" She replied quickly. Lately the thought of food made Lizzie cringe. She had had morning sickness but occasionally in the night and afternoon .

"Well look who it is, its Gordo" Sam said smiling walking in the room with Gordo looking scared behind him.

"How's it goin Gordo" Jo smiled welcoming him.

"I'm ok" he replied.

"Um mom…dad… can we all go talk in the living room… there's something I need to tell you" She said in a scared tone her parents pick up on quickly and they exchanged worries looks.

"Is everything ok Lizzie?" Sam asked his daughter, she couldn't look at him.

"Can we jus talk please" She said and walked into the living room with Gordo behind her. All four of them sat in the living room. Sam took JO's hand as Gordo took Lizzie's.

"Mom…dad…I have a problem" Lizzie spoke slowly and shakily.

"Whatever it is Lizzie we'll help you the best we can, or we'll get someone who can help you" Jo said seriously.

"I'm pregnant mom" She said as her voice cracked and tears went down the side of her face. Sam and Jo were stunned, neither knew what to say. Lizzie sat there crying squeezing Gordo's hand tightly. She kept sniffing and Gordo rubbed her hand with his other.

"Mom…" She choked through the tears, Jo was crying as well. Sam had a look of horror and slight anger in his eyes that scared Gordo.

"Oh Lizzie" Jo cried crossing the room to her daughter and enveloping her in a huge hug.

"I'm so sorry mom, I'm so sorry" She cried.

"Shhh calm down, calm down" Jo held Lizzie until she stopped crying. Sam had left the room and now stood on the backyard porch.

"Gordo, I'm proud of you for coming with Lizzie to tell us this but I think its best if you left and let us talk about this alright?" Jo said to him and he nodded.

"I'll walk him out" Lizzie rose up from the couch and walked him to the front door.

"Call me later Liz" He said, she nodded. Gordo lifted Lizzie's chin and kissed her gently and sweetly.

"It will be ok" He said, and Lizzie closed the door. When she turned around both of her parents were standing by the stairs.

"We need to have a serious talk" Sam spoke boldly. He walked into the living room first, Jo and Lizzie followed.

"How could this have happened?" Sam asked.

"Well…" Lizzie started.

"And don't give me the whole when a man loves a woman bit" He said interrupting her.

"Lizzie I thought we could trust you, I thought you were smart" Jo said.

"I am mom, and you can trust me! It was an accident, I didn't mean to" She said.

"Ya well it's a big accident Elizabeth!" Sam yelled, Jo placed a hand on his arm.

"Sam keep your cook, we can't yell about this" Jo tried to calm him down.

"I was careful dad! He used a condom I thought I was safe."

"Ya well you weren't" He yelled. "Why wouldn't have you just waited.

"Because I love him!" She yelled back.

"Well I realize you were trying to be careful but it didn't work and now we have a problem" Jo continued on.

"I don't want you to see Gordo anymore out side of school" Sam looked sternly at Lizzie.

"Dad NO!" Lizzie exclaimed standing up.

"Sam lets not get carried away"

"See what happens Jo! I told you not to let Lizzie date him! I told you something like this would happen! But did you listen nooo you said she was a responsible good girl and nothing will happen"

"Dad please stop!… Just stop I'm sorry!" Lizzie exclaimed.

"Well sorry can't change anything Elizabeth!" he cried standing up from sitting on the couch. "God damnit!" He exclaimed walking from the living room towards the stairs. Nobody had even noticed Matt walk in the door.

"Dad what's wrong" Matt asked as his father walked past him.

"Your sister's pregnant" He said walking up the stairs not caring about anything. Matt looked into the living room at Lizzie and his mom.

"I think I'll go upstairs" Matt said following his dad.

"Ok Lizzie are you sure?" Jo asked.

"Pretty sure mom, I took a home pregnancy test and it came out positive" She said sadly.

"Well…um I'll go call the doctor and get you an appointment just to make sure"

"Mom…" Lizzie spoke.

"yes" Jo said getting up and walking into the kitchen. She opened a drawer and pulled out a huge stack of business cards with a red rubber band tied around it.

"I'm sorry" Lizzie said, Jo looked up and smiled at Lizzie.

"It's ok, we'll fix everything" Jo said, than picked up the phone and started to dial.
