"Three" they both said together.
"Oh Miranda I just can't do it"
"It's ok Lizzie just take you time"
Suddenly there was knock at the door.
"Lizzie" Jo McGuire yelled, from outside the door, "Are you ok? Why are you crying? Did someone hurt you? Is Miranda still there?"
"Mom one at a time please I am fine I just hit my head and Miranda and I were laughing at my stupidity"
"Oh ok hunny. Miranda should probably go home soon"
"NO" Lizzie yelled, "We are doing a project"
"Oh well in that case take your time"
"Bye mom"
"Would you guys like some cookies?"
"No mom we REALLY need to finish" Lizzie stressed. Miranda was just chuckling to herself in the corner.
"Miranda this is NO time to laugh I may have a fucking baby growing inside of me at this very moment"
"Sorry" She quickly pulled herself together and shut up.
"Ok Miranda will you get me the manual thing and tell me what color means pregnant?"
"Sure"
"OK Lizzie Blue means pregnant and pink means not"
"OK" Lizzie inhaled deep and exhaled.
"It's ok Lizzie you can do this your fine" she told herself
"One"
"Two"
"Three" Lizzie flipped the pregnancy test over and looked at the result, and immediately burst into uncontrollable tears. Miranda couldn't tell if they were from problems or happiness.
"Lizzie"
"Oh shit Miranda, it's blue. I am pregnant, with a guys baby who hates me more then dog shit"
Miranda started to silently cry along with her best friend and lover in the whole world.
"Lizzie baby you'll be fine we just need to think through this and figure out what we are going to do." Lizzie looked into Miranda's brown eyes and felt safe. Miranda looked down into Lizzie red and swollen hazel eyes and she knew that she would be ok.
"Miranda thank you for being there for me"
"No problem baby"
"How I am I going to tell Gordo? He hates me more then anything in the world"
"Call him and try and talk to him" Lizzie kissed Miranda on the cheek and crawled over to the phone and picked it up.
"Hello" Mrs. Gordon answered
"Hello Mrs. Gordon, it's Lizzie, may I please speak to Gordo?" She sobbed
"Lizzie dear Gordo says he isn't taking calls"
"Please Mrs. Gordon it's VERY important"
"OK" Lizzie heard Mrs. Gordon yell to Gordo to pick up the phone.
"Hello" Gordo said non-enthusiastic on the other line
"Gordo, Gordo it's Lizzie" she stuttered
"What do you want Lizzie? Would you just leave me alone already, and stop crying for me."
"Gordo please stop" She cried harder
"No Lizzie you hurt me and you deserve the same treatment you gave me. Your worthless and you mean absolutely nothing to me." Lizzie dropped the phone and cried as hard as possible barley being able to breathe. Gordo immediately felt he had been too hard on her.
Miranda picked up the phone.
"Gordo" she said, "How could you be so mean to her?"
"I really didn't mean to" he said. Miranda leaned over to Lizzie.
"Can I tell him" Lizzie nodded
"Gordo I just can't believe you"
"Miranda tell me what? Why was Lizzie crying did someone hurt her?"
"Gordo..Lizzie..Lizzie…she's pregnant,….with your baby."
