An Almost Perfect Fairytale

Chapter four

Doctors Appt.

"How are you parents?" Lizzie asked Gordo as the two sat in Gordo's living room. His parents had gone out for the day leaving Gordo and Lizzie to themselves.

"Well my mom has been sitting on the phone late at night talking with her sister… Crying" He sighed "and my dad has been acting like nothing has even happened at all." Lizzie frowned.

"My mom's been ok with it, and my dad is half talking to me in a sort of grunt-ish way"

"I doubt I'll be able to go to your house again?" Gordo replied and Lizzie returned him with a crooked smile.

"This sucks" Lizzie said leaning back onto the big fluffy couch.

"Yea… Sucks might be an appropriate word for it" Gordo answered back to her. Gordo looked into Lizzie's eyes, he could tell she was tired and exhausted from having so much thrown at her the past couple of days, slowly he leaned over and kissed her softly he cradled her head in his hands. Lizzie slowly scooted herself so she was back down on the couch with Gordo on top of her the two still kissing. Then Lizzie smiled and started laughing which broke off their kiss.

"What?" Gordo asked.

"This is exactly what got us in the mess in the first place" Gordo smiled with a laugh.

"Ya that is true" He replied, they both laid there for a moment and both sighed at the same time Lizzie looked up at Gordo.

"Wanna.. Well do it anyways?" She asked.

"Ya" He said rapidly answering her question, the two jumped up from off the couch and ran up into Gordo's room shutting the door.

~~~ Two Days Later ~~~

Lizzie was pulled out of school at around 10 AM to go to the doctor's office. She sat in the waiting room extremely exhausted from throwing up that morning. Jo was more nervous than Lizzie was. Mothers of all ages were in the room with her, ones from the age of 40 to her age. One girl she looked at, she felt sorry for. The girl must have been a little older than she was maybe 19 and she was holding a year old daughter in her arms. She was obviously pregnant which made Lizzie sad.

"Elizabeth Mcguire" A nurse called her from the door. Lizzie rose up with her mom and ventured to the rooms on the other side of the door. A short while later Lizzie sat with her mom awaiting the doctor after numerous tests had already been preformed on her.

"Now don't be scared Lizzie it will be ok" Jo reassured her daughter, but most likely was reassuring herself.

"I'm not scared mom, don't worry"

"Hello Elizabeth" A female doctor said walking into the room. She had long black hair and appeared to be in her early or middle 30's and was slightly taller than Lizzie would have been if she had been standing up.

'Its Lizzie" She said correcting her doctor.

"oh, well Hello Lizzie I'm doctor Rosen. So what's been going on?" Dr Rosen said pulling up one of the rolling chairs staring up at Lizzie who was sitting on the table bed.

"Well we think she's pregnant" Jo said before Lizzie had time to answer. "And were hoping she's not and its only a false alarm"

"Well would you like to know the good news or the bad news first?" Dr Rosen asked still looking up at Lizzie.

"Bad" She spoke.

"Well the bad news is… there is no bad news" She laughed with a smile trying to ease the atmosphere. "The good news is you should have a healthy baby in 7 ½ months"

Lizzie couldn't help but smile at her doctor. "now. Yes you are pregnant.. Your are about 6 weeks along and you are due on November 26th" Jo cut Dr Rosen off.

"Dr Rosen, it is unusual or to far along to abort now?"

"No!" Lizzie shot a stern look at her mother. "I am not having an abortion" She exclaimed.

"Lizzie hush! Is it?" She asked looking back at the doctor.

"No on both of your questions, many teenage girls have abortions its not an uncommon thing" now it was Lizzie's turn to cut in.

"I refuse you can't make me!" Lizzie crossed her arms over her chest firmly.

"Lizzie.." Dr Rosen spoke softly. "Actually she can, you are only 17 she decides whether or not you can keep this baby"

"Please mom.. Please don't make me" Lizzie begged and was starting to cry.

"Lizzie.. We can't keep this baby your only 17 years old for Christ sakes" Jo said through clenched teeth at her daughter and had started tearing up as well.

"Mom, I can give it up for adoption. I mean so many families want children and can't have them, I could help them out" Lizzie cried.

Lizzie.." Jo was caving in.

"momma, this baby wasn't conceived on some drunken night party with some random guy, it was me and Gordo mom, me and Gordo and I don't want to kill our baby" Tears were now streaming down her face as she finally came to the realization that she was pregnant, after hearing it, it still hadn't sunk in but now realizing it was her and Gordo's child it was very much real. Jo hugged her daughter now also coming to the realization that her and Gordo were together and much grown up. Still trying to think of them as little kids was finally over, they were both going to be parents.

"yes Lizzie, ok ok, adoption is the best thing" Jo stood up attempting to recollect her poise and was wiping her eyes and Dr Rosen smiled at her.

"Alright I'll go get you some brochures on some great adoption agencies." Lizzie nodded wiping her eyes with the top of her shirt.

"your father is going to kill me" Jo said taking her original seat in the corner.

"mom tell him it was my idea. Its my child I should be responsible for my own actions" She said collecting her clothes from the table.

"Just go put your clothes on" Jo said pulling out her check book so they could leave, Lizzie hurried into the bathroom and closed the door. Jo took Lizzie out for a late lunch around 1:30 and they arrived home around 3:00. Lizzie jumped into the shower and started doing her homework before her dad even came home. Dreading the moment he was to walk in the door and hear the news unfortunately he came home moments after she settled down on her bed for homework. She cringed as she heard the door slam downstairs knowing what her mom was going to tell him. The house was silent for only a brief 5 minutes until she heard a loud. "WHAT!" come from downstairs. She know knew that this was to make her life even more difficult she didn't have much time to ponder these thoughts before her phone rang.

"Hello" She answered.

"Hey, it me" Gordo's sweet voice came through the other end of the phone.

"Hey baby, how are you?" She asked.

"I'm the same, and you? How was the doctors?" he asked her.

"Um.. It was alright the baby is due November 26th" She said hopeful.

"Do you know what your going to do yet?" Gordo gulped hoping she had not done something foolish.

"Yes, I'm going to give it up for adoption" Gordo let out a sigh of relief.

"Well that's good" He smiled and she sighed.

"Yup" she replied back.

"Lizzie.. You know whatever you decide I'm going to be here for you.. I love you and you know that" He said sincerely to her.

"I know thank you Gordo, I love you too"
