Miranda woke the next morning when she heard Lizzie crying. "What's wrong Lizzie?" she asked coming into her bedroom. "He's gone. He promised eh would stay" Lizzie shouted making Jade start to cry. Lizzie went over and rocked her. "You will never get to see your father Jade. He promised me. He really did" Lizzie said. Miranda had a read of the note that Gordo left. "Why would he do that?" Miranda asked. Justin came into the room with Pippin. "What's wrong Lizzie?" he asked. "Gordo left her" Miranda said to him taking Pippin. Lizzie sat down in her rocking chair and rocked silently. "And what he said was all a lie" Lizzie said. Miranda picked up the phone. "I'm going to ring his parents. See if they know anything" Miranda said and dialled in Gordo's old number. "Hello" came the answer. "Hi. It's Miranda. Gordo's friend. Is Gordo at your place?" Miranda asked praying for a yes. "No he's not. Is there something I can help you with?" Gordo's mother asked. "Just tell him if you see him that he should have thought before what he did" Miranda said then hung up the phone. "He's not there" Miranda whispered. "What did I do?" Lizzie asked Jade. "What. Please answer me Jade. You know" The doorbell went and Justin went to answer it. "Lizzie it's your parents and Matt and Samantha" Justin called from down stairs. "Here Miranda. Take Jade down and let the family have a hold while I get dressed," Lizzie said handing Jade over. Lizzie got dressed in a flash and put some make up on so Jo wouldn't know she had been crying. "Lizzie" Jo said when she came down stairs. "You look better already," Sam said who was holding Jade. Samantha was playing with her little fingers. "Yeah. I got a good night sleep last night. Jade must have known I was tired" Lizzie said. "Jade" Jo said. "I named her Jade. I really like the name" Lizzie said. Sam nodded. "So where's Gordo?" he asked. Lizzie looked at Miranda. "At work" Lizzie replied. "You'd think he would have a day off to spend with you and the baby," Samantha said. Lizzie nodded and looked around. "Where's Matt?" she asked. Matt came out of the kitchen with some food. "Couldn't cook us breakfast sis. Samantha pulled me out of the door to get to our old place before breakfast. I'm starving" Matt said stuffing himself with food. He wiped his hands on Samantha's jersey. "Good cloth" he said to her. "Shut up Matt. What a pig" Samantha said. "Yuck" Miranda said. The twins pulled on Samantha's jeans and she picked them up. "Ewwwww. Matt get away. Don't you dare wipe it on my jersey again. I just washed it" Samantha said. "Do you all want a coffee?" Lizzie asked. Every nodded. "I'll make them. Come on Justin. Lizzie can you hold Pippin?" Miranda said handing over Pippin. They all followed Lizzie to the table and sat down. They all stayed until 7pm. "Now where is Gordo. He should have finished work by now" Sam said. Lizzie nodded. "I need to use the bathroom," Jo said going up the stairs. After she had done her business she jogged down the stairs. "You never told me about this Lizzie. That's why Gordo's not here," Jo said showing the note to Lizzie. "I didn't want you all to know" Lizzie said starting to cry.
