Chapter 2:
First off I want to thank everyone for reviewing, I love getting reviews. Ever since I started writing I have always wanted to have one of those stories that everyone loves and has like a hundred reviews. Although I don't think this story is good enough to get that many I appreciate the reviews anyway. Also I am thinking about putting a little of little characters in so if you would like a cameo (note: it can be range of people, other teenage parents, or kids at school, basically I will have a list and fill it in as people request to be on it) tell me the name you want in there along with hair and eye color and age. All right thanks a ton for reviewing. I hope you like this next chapter. Sorry the chapters aren't very long, I don't know if they ever will be, but with short chapters you get an update more often…So anyway on with the show…err story…
"Hey guys what's up?" Miranda asked walking into Lizzie's room where Gordo and Lizzie sat on her bed talking. "Your Mom let me in, she said you guys were up here."
"Miranda I'm glad you are here. We were going to call you, we have to talk about something." Lizzie stated.
"What's up?" Miranda asked flopping onto Lizzie's desk chair.
"I'm moving in." Gordo responded.
"Moving in where?" Miranda asked, "Here. Lizzie's house? Why?"
"My parents threw me out." Gordo sighed.
"What?" Miranda exclaimed, "Why?"
"We're pregnant." Lizzie blurted, "Or rather I'm pregnant."
"My parents didn't take it very well." Gordo added.
"You guys…" Miranda swallowed, "When?"
"Chad Crafts party." Lizzie replied, "We were both drunk."
"Chad's party? Miranda asked arching an eyebrow, "I didn't know you were there Lizzie. Ethan didn't invite any sophomores and didn't you have cheer practice that night."
Lizzie nodded, "I know. Chad invited me, and I showed up about an hour late."
"Serena invited me." Gordo asked.
Lizzie eyes suddenly went wide, "Gordo what are you going to tell Serena?"
Gordo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he hadn't even thought up Serena all day, Serena with the exception of Lizzie and Miranda was the nicest girl he had ever met. They had only started dating but they got along awesomely.
"I'll handle it." Gordo responded.
Lizzie nodded and suddenly her face went pale and her hands flew to her mouth, she muttered "Excuse me." Before running towards the bathroom.
Once Lizzie was out of hearing Miranda turned flashing brown eyes on Gordo, "I don't know what the hell you think you are pulling here but you better come clean with me about what's going on. Because I know for a fact that you are not the father of Lizzie's baby."

You all realize after a very short chapter I could leave you all hanging around till I post again. School's got me so busy and all I don't know if I can finish this…
…
…
…
All right all right I won't leaving you hanging but it tricked you didn't I?
…

"What?" Gordo exclaimed quickly.
"I know you couldn't possibly be the father."
"You can't prove that. We were both drunk." Gordo pointed out.
"Bullshit." Miranda responded, "For the week after the party Kayla Robins couldn't stop going on and on about how you are the greatest guy she has ever met. About how even though it was only an hour into the party but you were willing to drive her boyfriend home. Her very drunk boyfriend, and how *you* had offered because you *never* drink at the parties.
"Miranda…" Gordo sighed searching for the words to explain.
"So I'm asking you again David Gordon what the hell are you doing?" Despite the fact that Miranda was whispering Gordo couldn't help but think that the tone she was using caused everyone to hear the last sentence out of her mouth.
"Would you keep it down?" Gordo hissed.
"Don't change the subject. What's going on Gordo? We have been friends for a long time and unless you have a damn good reason for telling Lizzie the truth I'm going to tell her."
"It's Chad Craft." Gordo sighed slumping onto the floor.
"What!" Miranda's voice rose a few decibels.
"By the time Lizzie, Kate and the other cheerleaders showed up it was obvious they had been doing more drinking than practicing. You know how our team gets, if there is a party on the same night as a practice the sports teams and cheerleaders can't help it. Anyway so by the time Lizzie got there she was all ready smashed and she and Chad were all ready all over each other and just about to disappear into Chad's room."
"Why didn't you try to stop her?" Miranda questioned.
"You think I didn't try?" Gordo asked, "What do you take me for? Of course I tried to stop her. But she would have nothing of it, besides Kayla's boyfriend, Evan was in a terrible state." The two long time best friends fell silent, "Is that a good enough reason for not telling her? It's easier for her to except that she slept with me than with Chad, where she would only be another one of the female student body he has gotten into bed."
Miranda turned her face away from Gordo and gazed out the window, whispering quietly, "If Lizzie finds out it won't be from me."
Dear Diary, February 8th
I just got back from Lizzie's, or I guess Lizzie and Gordo's now. Lizzie's having a baby, a baby. She's only 16 and she is having a baby. That phrase has been running through my head since they told me. Gordo's telling everyone that he is the father. It's not true I got him to confess that to me, Lizzie doesn't know. I've always known Gordo was in love with Lizzie but this just goes to show it, he'd to anything to protect her from anything. This time, as many times before, he's protecting her from herself, he has always done that.
Like one time when we were in first grade Lizzie forgot to bring home a field trip permission trip for her parents to sign, if it wasn't brought back the next day she couldn't go. So Gordo, ten years younger, tells Lizzie that he had grabbed her paper too on the way out of the classroom. Gordo gave up the field trip saying he didn't want to go to the science museum, the trip he had been looking forward to all year, so that Lizzie could go. Lizzie never knew, she thinks Gordo forgot *his* paper.
It's a lot like that now, except Gordo is giving up a hell of a lot more than a field trip. He's giving up everything, a relationship almost as good as anything he would ever have with Lizzie, his family (They've disowned him) and for the most part his future. That's all anything has ever been about for Gordo, his future, he could have done anything. And now he has tied *himself* down with a child that isn't his. I guess some people will do anything for love…

Dear Diary, February 17th
Lizzie and Gordo were finally back in school today. They took a week off, because even though they seemed all right last week when they told me everyone was a little shocked. I told my parents and they even let me take Monday off. And I was shocked really and it was great of my parents to understand, and they do. They sat me down and talked with me about it. Not even about Lizzie and Gordo having a baby, I mean they did, boy did I get a looong sex talk. But they wanted to talk to me about how I was feeling about it. And with them asking all the questions I actually opened up to them about it.
I mean I'm shocked Lizzie is having a baby but I'm also hurt. It has *always* been Miranda, Lizzie, Gordo; Gordo, Miranda, Lizzie; in what ever sequence you can come with. It has always been the three of us, even in middle school when choir became everything to me, the same with Gordo and film club and Lizzie and cheer. Despite the differences in clubs it was still the three of us, through clubs, classes and boy/girlfriends. Now even though the baby isn't really Gordo's he and Lizzie are going to share this bond that I am not included in anymore.
OK while that whole paragraph sounds kind of selfish, her my best friends are giving up their whole lives and I am complaining about our relationships changing, I'm not putting anything else or scratching out the paragraph.
Lizzie and Gordo kept to themselves for the most part today. I gave Lizzie my full support today because she needed it more now than she ever did. She whispered to me before first period today that she felt like everyone could tell all ready. I assured her that it would be at least a month before anyone could tell. But she still didn't offer any of the cheerful hellos to friends like she usually does.
Despite the fact that for the first time in the history of our friendship I am the 3rd wheel I am going to be there whenever Gordo or Lizzie need me.

Dear Diary, 2/17
Today was my first day back at school and although it was the worst I have ever had I seriously doubt that it will be my last. Every time someone whispered something to a friend or passed a note in class I felt like they were talking about how I was going to have a baby with Gordo. I know I was just overeating, because other than mine and Gordo's family Miranda is the only one who knows and I know she hasn't told anyone.
Gordo and I decided that it would be best for everyone I we come clean to everyone about us. I don't want rumors going around about me and so we are planning on throwing a party. OK how lame does that sound? Throwing a party to announce that I'm going to have a baby. Mom and Dad agreed to it though, Mom especially thinks that I need to let everyone know what is going on right off the bat because of any high school's rumor mill.
I have always known I have great parents but I never fully realized how great until this past week. I know they are disappointed but they are trying their hardest to not show it in front of me and Mom and I have been sitting down and having really long talks. This afternoon we sat and had another long talk, she basically told me that she and Dad were angry with me along with being disappointed but how can you punish your pregnant teenage daughter? Tell her not go to another party so I don't get into anymore trouble, well I'm all ready pregnant not much there. Besides, she added, my peers are going to punish me enough as it is.
We think that because of the time we live in everyone is so open-minded and people don't look down on teenage mothers as much as they did at one time. It's not true, I mean hell Gordo, Miranda and I were always talking about the latest pregnant girl at school. Good God at one time I was trashing a person in the position I am now, never in a million years would I have dreamed I would be here. But because of the example my parents have set I have resigned myself to being a wonderful mother to my baby and I know Gordo will also be a great father, despite his parents abandonment.
Now I get to start on the weeks worth of homework I missed, Gordo promised he would help me catch up but I am still going to be here all night….
