Lizzie's POV
It's ten fifteen now. Where is Kate? I'll just read that interview for the tenth time.

TT=Teen Talk
DG=David Gordon
TT: What's it like having teenage girls chase you around?
DG: Well, it's kind of weird 'cause I already have a wife and kids, and all of these girls are trying to get closer to me. Usually it's really annoying, but my wife gets a kick out of it. She buys teen magazines and reads all the articles about me. It's kind of weird. Some fans can creep me out sometimes.
TT: Can you tell us about it?
DG: Well, last year when Lizzie was in labour with our second daughter, I took her to the hospital and when we got there all of these teens were hanging out by the emergency room. It was like 3:30AM and they were probably there because someone got drunk at a party and then did something crazy and injured themselves. So there was this one girl, and she sees me, and I'm trying to calm down my wife, and I was holding her hand and everything, you know? And then this teenager sees me and she was screaming, "OH MY GOD!! David Gordon! I LOVE YOU!" And then she let go of her boyfriend and runs toward us. She tripped and scraped her legs and ripped her pants, yet she got up and continued running. I was like, "Lizzie, just run as fast as you can! Come on!" and then we were running into the hospital and I could still hear the girl screaming, "DAIVD! Come back!! I love you! I want your autograph!!" And then I heard some voices saying, "Calm down! Be quiet! Can't you see he's busy? Shut up!!" It scared me even more because, well, you know what it's like when you're gonna have a baby and everything...or maybe you don't know....but, yeah. It was freaky.
TT: Yeah, we know. So how's everything at home?
DG: Everything's great. The other day our second daughter took her first steps and Lizzie wasn't home when it happened, and she was all upset about it. I was like, "Well I asn't here when Natalie took her first steps so now we're even."
TT: And what did she say after that?
DG: Oh, she slapped me.
TT: She slapped you?
DG: It was a playful slap.
TT: Oh, that's good to know.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::
Ater that got boring, I turned around and stared at the door.
After what seemed like an eternity, the doorbell rang. I jumped up and opened it.
"Hi, Liz!" Kate said.
She looks.........different.
She looks like she gained some weight and her hair's a bit shorter.
"Uhh....hi," I stammered.
"Did you get the phone call? About the reunion?" she asked.
"Uh huh," I replied.
Kate stepped inside and looked around.
"How's Natalie? How old is she? Five? Seven?"
"Uh...."
I don't know how old she is!
What kind of a mother am I?
I'm not a mother at all! So it doesn't matter if I suck at the job!
"Want some coffee?" I asked.
"Okay," Kate said.
So I found my way to the kitchen and started to make some coffee.
If only I knew how.
