Author Note: Teartear, this is going to be my last chapter for this story. The story is ending, oh how sad. Actually, I'm so proud of myself that I ACTUALLY completed a kind of good story with pretty good reviews that was pretty long. That means, I get to start on a new story. Actually I've already started a new one about Alicia and George, from Harry Potter, but I might delete it. But the one that I'm focused on now is James and Lily Potter, my favorite couple in Harry Potter, besides Hermione and Harry. I'm surprised how many dedicated fans that are reading my story, to Harry Potter. Anyways this is the epilogue and here it goes. Hope you like it. PLEASE REVIEW!
"Tag! You're it!" exclaimed Abby as she tagged Gordo. Gordo smiled at Lizzie's daughter, and now his daughter, too. He went to chase her around the backyard, when Michael was chasing Gordo.
Gordo finally grasped the little girl in his arms and tickled her. She squealed and finally gave up and said, "You win! Pppllleassee, stop it." He stopped tickling her and they both continued to play the game, but Michael was it.
Lizzie smiled at the sight of this and put her mug of coffee down in the house. Gordo and her were now happily married and since the kiss in the airport, she finally got him back. They started to date for eight months, when he proposed to her. But what was so romantic about the proposal was that it was in the same place where they had kissed in the airport. She remembered like it was yesterday. (A/N: Yeah it's a flashback, sorry.)
"Gordo, what are you doing here?" asked a perplexed Lizzie. "Is everything okay at home? Did I forget something?"
"No," he answered with a smile.
"Then what is it, because I'm about to leave to go to Colorado to visit my grandparents. They really needed to see me and I don't want to be late catching my plane," she told him. "As much as I love you, I really have to go."
"Do you really love me?" he questioned her, but his face was serious and it finally hit her. He was going to propose to her as he leaned on one knee facing toward her.
"I -." stuttered Lizzie.
He pulled out a ring box and Lizzie started to mutter, "Oh my God. Oh god."
Lizzie could tell that Gordo was having second thoughts about this, but he hesitantly began to ask the question, "Elizabeth McGuire, will you marry me?"
"Gordo," she stated.
"It's okay, at least I tried," he said sadly and started to get up, but before he could Lizzie manage to blurt out a 'Yes!'
"What was that?" he asked with eagerness in his voice.
"I said yes," she said looking up at him. He smiled at this and pulled her into a longing kiss. She responded it and they were now into a make out session. Lot's of people had seen what had taken place and many cheered, but others scowled. The ones who scowled, Lizzie thought that they had been proposed to, but turned him or her down, or vice versa.
"Last call for boarding plane 291," Lizzie heard over the airport's speakers. She reluctantly pulled back and smiled at him, "I have somewhere to go. Bye Gordo." She gave him a quick kiss on the lips and then left him.
"Last call for boarding plane 291," repeated the voice over the intercom.
She left him there grinning like an idiot and when Lizzie was well into the terminal, he started to let out cheers, chants, and did dances. They were engaged and the first one to know when Lizzie got back was his future children, the ones that he had loved and cared for. But he wished that they were his children and not Carl's.
The memory left Lizzie's mind and then began to think about other things. Carl. Carl was in prison and would be in there for a couple of years. When he got out, he was forced to stay a good distance away from Lizzie and her family, and if he did get close to them, he would be put back in jail. Lizzie's feelings for Carl had disappeared that night when he merely strangled her.
Miranda was doing okay with Eric and they were known as the 'perfect couple' and the same applied for Lizzie and Gordo. Even though Gordo had married Lizzie, he still had kept up with Miranda and they were still best of friends. Sometimes, when Eric and Lizzie were doing something, Gordo and Miranda went to dinner like the old days, in a friendly way. Lizzie had also thanked Miranda for the advice on Gordo, and Miranda just gave her one of those smiles and accepted the thank you.
Kate however had her disputes with Ethan Craft. She told Lizzie that he was a hoax just like in high school. Ethan had cheated on her with another woman, and Kate blamed it all on Ethan's perfect hair. She ditched Ethan, who became a politician, and found another guy who she might give a chance. She had been hurt many times in the past and was making sure that this was the guy for her.
Lizzie's children, Abby and Michael, were doing okay about this whole situation. They were so excited, especially Abby, when Gordo was going to marry Lizzie. He treated them just like they were his own children and always remembered to come to their special events and always remembered their birthdays. Abby and Michael were turning eleven in a couple of days and Lizzie and Gordo had formed a surprise party for them, but it was Gordo's idea to throw the party.
Lizzie had shaken out the memories from the past and called from inside the kitchen to tell them that dinner was ready. The three of them ran in the house with dirt all over them and Lizzie scolded them for this.
"Come on Lizzie," Gordo smiled. "Lighten up a little."
"Fine, but you have to wash your hands," said Lizzie.
"Alright kids, let's wash our hands," he said and they all huddled into the bathroom washing their hands. Once they were done, Gordo went up to her and kissed her cheek.
"Are you happy now?"
"Yes, very happy," she smiled and they all gathered around the table to eat their dinner.
For once in my life, I'm happy and no one can change that, not Ms. Landers and her rumors, not Abby and Michael's principle, and definitely not Carl. I'm my own person and I know now that I can make my own decisions and to choose how I feel, thought Lizzie. My life isn't perfect, but it's pretty close to perfection.
Author Note: Okay I need to apologize. Number one, this was cheesy, sorry but endings to stories are cheesy, that's just how it is. And number two, it was short. NOW I NEED YOUR ADVICE ON WHETHER TO DO A SEQUEL. IF I DO A SEQUEL THEN IT'S EITHER GOING TO BE ABOUT ABBY AND HOW TO DEAL WHEN HER FATHER IS OUT OF JAIL AND JUNK. SORRY I'M NOT GOOD WITH BOY'S POV. (THAT MEANS POINT OF VIEW, FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.) OR IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT KATE AND HER DIFFICULTY TO LOVE SINCE SHE HAS BEEN HURT SO MUCH IN THE PAST. SO PLEASE TELL ME. Please review, thanks. AND this story is over. So I can concentrate on my other stories.
