Child Support

Okay, you'll probably think this is a strange, strange, story...but I think it can be very interesting. I kind of like to stray from the everyday romances, though some of my works do deal with them. If you get angry with it because it deals with very different characters, that's okay. I won't take it personally. Also Lizzie is thirty, as are Miranda, Gordo, Larry, Ethan, Kate and anyone else in the class. Just so you don't think it's weird. So enjoy and have fun. Pronunciation note: Aislin is pronounced: ASH-lin

"Mommy! Mommy where are you!" Aislin yelled. "In here!" Lizzie called back. Aislin walked into her mother's bathroom. "Daddy's on the phone." She told her mother. Lizzie took the phone from her daughter. "Thank you honey. Hello?" She asked. "Hi!" The voice on the other line answered. "Are you coming to pick her up?" Lizzie asked. "Yeah, well that's what I was calling about." He replied. "What? Ethan not again." Lizzie sighed. "Sorry, Kylie's only in town for a week." Ethan replied. "Ethan, are you ever going to take responsibility?" Lizzie asked. "Look, tell her I'm really sorry. And when Kylie goes back to New York, I don't know, we'll go to Disney Land." Ethan told her. "Fine, fine. Bye." Lizzie hung up. "What's wrong, mommy?" Aislin asked. "You can't go over Daddy's this weekend. And when I have work, you can go over Uncle Matt's or Grandma and Grandpa's." Lizzie told her daughter. "Okay!" Aislin smiled. Lizzie sighed and started dialing the phone. "Matt?" She asked. "Yeah?" He answered. "Is it possible you can watch Aislin this weekend? I'm sure she would love to see her cousin Paden." Lizzie asked. "Um, well, Lanny and his family are visiting. I'll ask Rhian." Matt went to go ask his wife. "We can. Don't worry." Matt told her. "Oh thank GOD!" Lizzie exclaimed. "Well, got to go. Paden just spit up all over Rhian. Bye!" Matt hung up. "Aislin! You're visiting your Uncle Matt's this weekend!" Lizzie called. "Okay mommy!" Aislin called back. Lizzie sighed and went to go take a shower.

"HOW COULD YOU?" Gordo shouted. "David, I'm so sorry. It's just that Brett and I. We love each other!" Ruth called back. "And what was I? THE MONEY PROVIDER?" Gordo asked. "David, really, I'm so sorry." Ruth sobbed. "It's okay. It's over. I'm leaving." He picked up his suitcase and slammed the door. He got in his car and pulled out of the driveway. "Who to call, who to call?" He asked himself. He hadn't seen his friends in forever. Last he heard Lizzie was going to college and Miranda was having a baby. He stopped at a 7 Eleven to use the pay phone. He looked in the phonebook. "Ah, Miranda Lewis." He remarked and dialed her number. "Hello?" A tired voice answered the phone. "Miranda?" He asked. "Speaking. Who is this?" She asked. "Gordo!" He exclaimed. All of the sudden Miranda's tired voice left. "Gordo! Oh my GOD! Where have you been?" She asked. "Look, I just found out my girlfriend has been cheating on me. So I left. Do you have any room?" Gordo asked. "Sure, Chris is away on business. It's just me and the kids. Come on over!" She proceeded to tell him the address. Gordo arrived there at 10. Miranda greeted him at the door. She had a small baby in her arms and two little ones trailing behind her. "Hi!" He hugged her. "It's so good to see you!" Miranda exclaimed. "Who are these little ones?" He asked. That's Malik and Malka. And this one is Sariah. Malik and Malka are twins." She pointed out. "They're very beautiful." Gordo told her. "Thank you. Malik and Malka are two and Sariah is three months. Amir, whose five, is upstairs. Let me just put these two to bed and I'll get you settled." Miranda headed upstairs. Gordo sat down on the couch. He noticed a picture of a beaming blonde woman holding a little girl with blonde curls. It looked remarkably like Lizzie. Miranda came back with Sariah. "Randa, is that Lizzie?" Gordo asked. Miranda looked at the picture. "Yeah, and that's Aislin." "Who's Aislin?" Gordo asked. "Her daughter." Miranda replied. "Daughter? Lizzie has a daughter? She's married?" Gordo asked, surprised. "Correction, was married. To Ethan. Ethan Craft. They divorced a year ago." Miranda replied. Gordo starred at the picture. "What else? Who else is married?" He asked. "Well, Kate, she married Danny Kessler, had a baby named Peyton, and divorced him. Then she married that big Hollywood producer. Had two more babies, Ashleigh and Kelsey. Larry moved to Chicago. Claire moved to New York, married a police officer and had a baby. I think his name is Joseph. Veruca? Married Jack McAllister, the guy from high school. Yup, they had triplets, Elijah, Benjamin and Noah. She's also pregnant again. Yup. O, Matt got married. A nice girl named Rhian. Had a baby a month ago. Name's Paden. He's really cute. Matt's friend, Lanny married a girl named Maria, they've got two kids, Ricardo and Javier." Miranda took a sip of her coffee. Gordo sat back in his chair. "It seems like yesterday we were in Junior High, now even little Matt's got a kid!" He exclaimed.

"What about you?" Miranda asked, "How's your life been? Plenty of glamorous women?" Gordo laughed. "You could say that. Nah, Ruth and I were together for a year. Before that it was Tamika, Grace, Sharon, Leila, Marie, Cassandra and Tara. Yup, lots of girls." Miranda smiled. "What about Lizzie? Going to call up?" She asked. Gordo stared at her. "Should I? I mean ever since we broke up..." "GORDO! That was 11th grade! You're thirty years old now. Grow up!" Miranda exclaimed. Gordo shook his head. "Do it." She told him and passed him the phone. "Fine, I will." He dialed and held his breath.

Weird? Should I continue? Say the word, and I'll stop. But please let me know!
