"Uh, is that anyway to greet your best friend?" Lizzie asked. Gordo shook his head. Lizzie hugged him. "It's so good to see you, Gord."

"Yeah, you too." Gordo replied. Lizzie smiled.

"Aislin! Come on!" She called for out the door. Aislin came bouncing up behind her mother.

"Gordo, this is Aislin, my daughter." Lizzie introduced him. Gordo nodded.

"And knowing Randa, I'm sure you already know how Aislin got here, so I won't bother you with that story." Lizzie told him. She started to walk away. Gordo just stared after her. Aislin pulled on his pants. "Where's Amir?" She asked. Gordo looked around for the boy and pointed her in his direction.

"Thanks Gord!" She exclaimed and ran off to Amir. Gordo smiled. Lizzie was in the kitchen talking to Miranda.

"Randa, this is to die for!" Lizzie exclaimed over the quiche.

Miranda beamed, "It's mama's recipe." Mrs. Sanchez patted her daughter's hand. Gordo stood in the corner. Lizzie saw him.

"Um, Gordo? Can you come help me with Malik and Malka's gifts?" She asked. Gordo nodded and followed her out to her car.

"Look, Gordo, I know that you're still hurt." Lizzie started.

Gordo laughed. "I'm not hurt. It was years ago. Lizzie, I've moved on." Lizzie was hurt all of the sudden. "Oh. That's good...good." Lizzie murmured. Gordo nodded.

"Dating again?" He asked.

"Um, yeah. Sort of." She replied.

"Good." He told her. They stood in silence for a minute.

"Yeah, well we better get these gifts in. Randa will get suspicious." Gordo remarked. Lizzie nodded.

"Yeah." They picked up the gifts and headed back into the house. When Gordo walked back into the kitchen, Miranda gave him a look. Gordo shrugged. Matt came into the kitchen.

"Hey, Miranda, is Chris coming?" He asked.

"Um, well, he's flying back from New York, and supposed to be landing in an hour. I don't know if he'll make it for the party." She replied.

"Hey, Mrs. Sanchez? How about that pinata?" Gordo asked. So they both went to the pool to set it up. Lizzie was sitting on the couch holding Paden. "So, avoiding you?" Miranda asked as she sat down next to her. "You could say that." Lizzie replied.

"What happened?" Miranda asked.

Lizzie sighed. "He said he moved on. I don't know, It kind of hurt me. I thought maybe he still liked me." Miranda made a face. "He's lying." She told her. Lizzie gave her a look.

"I don't think so. Maybe I should just forget about him. Aislin needs a daddy. Other than Ethan. And this point in my life...It's not as much about love then dependability. And Geoff has that." Lizzie told her. Miranda shot her a look. "Geoff? As in Geoff Jacobs? I thought you guys broke up!" Miranda exclaimed. Lizzie shook her head. "Actually, he wants to take it a step further."

''Liz, you can't. You don't really love him." Miranda commented.

"Well, I love him. Not the way you love Chris, but it's love. And he's a father figure. Someone who would always be there for Aislin. Ethan wasn't and I don't know if Gordo would be one." Lizzie reasoned. Paden started to squirm. "Want to go back to mommy?" Lizzie cooed. She stood up to take him back to Rhian. Miranda shook her head and went to go take pictures of the pinata. The doorbell rang. "I'll get it Randa." Lizzie called. She opened the door. Ethan was standing in the doorway. "Hi." He said.

"What are you doing here?" She asked. "I came to get Aislin." He replied. "I thought you were busy this weekend."

"I was. Kylie broke up with me."

"Ah, too bad. Well, Aislin is not done with the party, so come back in say...two hours?" Miranda walked up to the door. "It's okay, Ethan, come on in. You can stay until she's done." Lizzie shot her a look. Miranda just shrugged. "Thanks." Ethan commented and followed Miranda to the pool area. Gordo saw Ethan walking out. "Hey!" Ethan called to him.

"Hi!" Gordo replied and made a beeline inside. Lizzie saw him.

"Gord? What's wrong?" She asked.

"Nothing." He said shaking his head. She gave him a look.

"Tell Randa I'm going to work, and I'll be back later." He said as he shut the door. Lizzie shook her head. "What's wrong with him?" She asked out loud.
