Life
Lizzie woke up and couldn't help but smile when she found Gordo sleeping next to her. She debated about whether or not to wake him up. She decided to just watch him sleep instead. He was such a peaceful sleeper.
A few minutes later, she remembered last night and about Miranda. How was she. She woke Gordo up, "Gordo, wake up!" Lizzie said.
Gordo slowly opened his eyes and noticed Lizzie next to him, "Hey," he said.
"Good morning. Should we go to the hospital?"
"Whoa! Calm down, Lizzie! Let me wake up for a few minutes!"
"I am sorry! I just want to make sure Miranda is okay. I am worried she didn't make it," Lizzie said.
"I know, I know. We are all worried about her. Why don't we get dressed and head down to the hospital, okay?" Gordo said.
Lizzie nodded her head.
Gordo got up from his bed and noticed Lizzie wasn't moving, "Listen, I realize you are worried and all, but can i have just a little privacy so i can get dressed?"
Lizzie looked at him, "Yeah, I am sorry. Where would you like me to go?"
"Why don't you go downstairs and get something to eat. I will meet you down there in a few, okay?"
"Okay," Lizzie said. Lizzie was wearing what she wore the day before, while looking for Miranda. She left Gordo's room and went downstairs. No one seemed to be around.
There was a note on the table: Hey, David-we are at work, sorry we left before talking to you and Lizzie. Call me if you hear anything about Miranda. I love you. -Mom
Lizzie went to the cabinet for some cereal. She decided on Raisen Bran and ate while waiting for Gordo.
Gordo appeared a few minutes later, fully dressed. He grabbed a banana and sat down next to Lizzie.
"You know, Gordo, if Miranda dies, you are pretty much all I have left," Lizzie said.
"Don't think like that, Liz. You don't have any reason to think like that," he said.
"I'm sorry. I guess I don't know what to think. This whole thing is overwhelming," Lizzie said.
"Well, if you want to talk about it, I'm here. I will always be here for you, Lizzie," Gordo said.
Lizzie looked at Gordo ans smiled, "Thanks, Gordo. You are a great friend!" Lizzie said and she gave him a hug.
"Well, I try to be," Gordo said.
A few minutes later, they left for the hospital. Lizzie called her parents on the way to let them know she was okay. They told her to take her she could come home when she wanted.
At the hospital, they found nothing, except that Miranda was still in her coma. Miranda's parents were there. They almost looked dead, they were so sleep deprived.
Lizzie was so disappointed, Gordo offered to take her for a walk around the hospital. Lizzie reluctantly agreed, thinking it was weird walking in the hospital.
"Come on, Lizzie, I want to show you something," Gordo said.
Lizzie followed him as thy walked through the hospital, and even going on a different floor.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see," Gordo said.
Once they stopped on a floor and stayed there, Lizzie noticed they were on the maternity floor of the hospital. "Gordo, do you know someone who is having a baby?" Lizzie asked.
"No. Do you?"
"Of course not! I was just asking because you were the one who took me here," Lizzie said.
Gordo kept walking and Lizzie kept following until he stopped. Right in front of the newborn infants. Lizzie looked at Gordo waiting for an explanation.
"Look at them!" Gordo finally said.
"Yeah," Lizzie said, nodding her head, "babies."
"Lizzie," Gordo said, dissappointingly, "not long ago you dragged me over here to look at babies. I didn't complain."
"Gordo, the circumstances were a little bit different," Lizzie tried to explain.
"Yeah, I know, but hear me out," Gordo started, "Look at these babies. They are helpless, screaming, cold, and stupid."
"Right, okay, Gordo can we go now?" Lizzie asked.
"Lizzie, this is life. This is what we were put on earth to do, create more life. These people may not be much now, but give them a few years, and they could be like us," Gordo said.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean we were like this once, helpless in a blanket. Look at that baby over there! Yeah, that one in the pink! She could grow up and be best friends with that baby over there," Gordo said, pointing at another baby.
"I don't see your point."
"And look at the baby in the incubator over there. She is even more helpless right now, with her life at stake! She can still grow up and be best friends with those two babies I pointed out. Her parents have hope for her," Gordo said.
Lizzie said nothing. This still wasn't all coming together.
"Lizzie, everyone of these babies are miracles. Some of them still need miracles right now. That baby in the incubator is just like the other babies. It just needs a little more hope than distraught. Miranda is like that in that she needs hope. She needs us to have hope for her. She may need a miracle, but at the same time, she is a miracle. She is alive right now. She may be helpless, but she is alive. So, I know this seems really weird that I take you here, but just think about it. Have hope for Miranda, and while you're at it, have hope for this baby. This baby needs to grow up and have friends just like you to watch out for them."
Lizzie looked at Gordo and thought for a moment, "Gordo, you are really random sometimes," Lizzie finally said.
"Thanks," Gordo said.
"But, I think that is why I like you so much. Thank you."
Gordo smiled, "You're welcome."
After a few more minutes, Lizzie and Gordo continued their walk. As they walked away from the babies, Gordo put his arm around Lizzie and kissed her on the forehead, "Everything is going to be okay. Just have hope," Gordo repeated.
"I have hope," Lizzie said, "I just worry."
"Want to see if we can go visit Miranda? I mean, I know she isn't awake, but maybe she can somehow tell if we talk to her."
Lizzie smiled, "I think I would like that."
