The next day however, was not quite so perfect. It wasn't the twins. In fact, Lizzie was around them every second she could, she thought they were so cute. And even changing them wasn't so hard once she'd gotten used to it.

But she'd been so caught up with everything that she completely forgot about Miranda. She called that day, while Lizzie was holding one of the twins, Keith. The girl had been named Lesley (after some favorite cousin of Jo's), and was currently in Gordo's hands. He was over helping the McGuire's.

Lizzie sighed, and put Keith back into his crib. She finally got to the phone on the fifth ring, and picked it up. "Hello?"

"H-Hi Lizzie." It's... Miranda." A distressed Miranda said into her phone. She wiped a tear way from her eye, and took a shaky breath.

"Miranda, are you okay?" Lizzie asked, now with a worried frown on her face. Gordo had walked over to her, still holding Lesley. He gently rocked her.

Toon Lizzie: Wow, Gordo's great with kids! (Feeds a baby in a highchair a spoonful of green baby food)

He mouthed to her, what's wrong? Lizzie just shook her head at him, waiting for Miranda to answer. "Ethan... he broke up with me." Miranda told her, sniffling.

"Oh, Miranda... I'm so sorry." Lizzie said. "That's awful!"

"What is?" Gordo whispered. Lizzie waved her hand at him, trying to get him to be quiet so she could listen to Miranda. Gordo rolled his eyes and sighed impatiently.

"Yeah... would you mind if m-maybe I could come over?" She asked Lizzie hopefully. "I'd really like to talk with you about it." She twirled a strand of her dark hair around her finger.

"Of course, Miranda! That'd be fine." Lizzie said reassuringly. "That is, of course, if you don't mind Keith and Lesley." She turned to Gordo and stroked Lesley's thin mass of hair with a smile.

"Keith and Lesley?" Miranda asked, clearly confused. She stopped twirling her hair.

"Yeah, the twins. Remember?" Lizzie replied. How could Miranda forget that my mom had twins yesterday? It's not that hard of a thing to remember! She thought with a puzzled look on her face.

"Oh, you're parents decided on names for them?" Miranda replied, with one final sniffle. She drank of sip of water from a glass she was holding.

"Well of course they did. How can babies be born and not have names?" Lizzie asked, one eyebrow going up.

"Born? What are you saying, Lizzie?"

Then it hit Lizzie. She hadn't told Miranda! "Oh my gosh, Miranda. I am so sorry! I totally forgot to tell you-"

"That your mom had the twins?" She burst out. "I can't believe it, Lizzie!"

"Miranda, I had a ton on my mind-"

"How in the world can you not tell your best friend something like that?!" Miranda exclaimed.

"Miranda, I said I'm sorry!"

"Sorry doesn't help! You couldn't take just a few minutes of your precious time to call me up? I wanted to be with you and your mom in the delivery room! I was going to take pictures and everything...." Miranda started to sniffle again. "I just can't believe you didn't call!" She slammed the phone down.

Toon Lizzie: I guess that means she's not coming over now!

Lizzie sat wearily down on a barstool. She rested her hand on her chin, and tried to sort out everything that had just happened.

Gordo, sat down on a stool next to her. Seeing she was upset, he didn't exactly want to poke into her business. But Miranda still was one of his best friends, even if he didn't see her that often. "What was all that about?" He asked gently, with Lesley still in his arms. She let out a soft cry, and Gordo patted her on the back.

"Gordo, I'm such a horrible friend! I forgot to tell Miranda about the twins!" Now she was the one who was sniffling. Why does this kind of thing always happen to me? And now she's mad at me and..." Her voice trailed off.

"Look, Lizzie. This is totally not your fault. You're mind was on skating, your mom, getting to the hospital... and you practically conked out in the waiting room with sleepiness."

He looked up at her and smiled. She tried to smile back, but she still felt guilty. "Matt taped a lot of the delivery, right? And when we had to go to the waiting room, your dad taped it. Miranda can watch that."

"Yeah... but, Gordo, it just won't be the same. I know I'd want to be where the action is instead of watching some dumb ol' tape of it happening. Not to say your idea was bad, but it's...it's just not what she wanted." Lizzie told him, looking down at her black zipper-up boots.

Gordo nodded, and didn't really know what else to say. They heard Keith crying from the nursery, and Jo called wearily, "I'll take care of him, Lizzie!"

"Okay, Mom!" Lizzie yelled back. Just then, Matt came out from wherever he'd been hiding.

"Man, how much can those babies scream?" He complained out loud as he took an apple from the fridge. He was so tired of the babies already, and it was just the first day of having them home.

"Why don't you go to Lanny's? That way we can get rid of you!" Lizzie told him.

"Not funny!" He told her, glaring. He took a bite of his apple. "Oh, and by the way, you have something on your shirt." She looked down at her purple quarter-sleeved shirt with sparkles on it, but didn't find any stains.

"Where?" She asked as she continued to search her shirt.

"Made you look!" Matt chuckled, and raced out of the room before Lizzie could even threaten to pound him. Lizzie rolled her eyes, and her thoughts came back to her problem.

Gordo also had a problem. Lizzie had indicated she liked him at the skating rink, but was showing no signs of it now. Has she changed her mind? He thought, hoping it wasn't that.

What he really wanted to do was ask her out to find out, but he felt too dorky. She'd probably be too busy with the twins, anyway. He thought with a sigh.

"Gordo, can you do me a favor?" Lizzie asked. He looked up at her and snapped out of his thought.

"Sure, Lizzie." He replied. "Anything for you." He blushed, not actually meaning for that to come out.

Lizzie stiffled a giggle. "Could you help out with the twins without me for a while? I need to go talk to Miranda and get things straightened out."

"Okay." Gordo told her, a little disappointed. It wasn't the work. He loved helping out with the twins. But one of the main reasons he'd come over to help was because Lizzie would be there!
