**Chapter 3**
The next day Miranda and Natalie were released from the hospital. She couldn't wait till she got home; she was so tired of being in a hospital. Adrienne wheeled her out while Cody got the car.
"How do you feel?" asked Adrienne looking back. She was in back seat for some privacy.
"It hurts a little, but I have to keep switching" she replied looking down at the Natalie. "The doctor said this was my decision to make but I never knew nursing was going to hurt"
"Why couldn't you wait till you were in your room alone" said Cody trying so hard not to look her way. Miranda started to giggle.
"You could look at me Cody, I have it covered" Cody took his hand off the side of his face and glared at her. Thru the mirror. "I don't know why you have your hand on your face if I'm back here"
"Just in case" She shook her head and looked out the window looking at the houses past by. Each house was in different sizes and color sudden she past by one that looked like Gordo's. Cody stopped at a red light and house was right in front of her. She looked away memories were coming back to her; she felt a tear ran down but she managed not cry. She didn't want to cry not anymore. Taking off the blanket off Natalie she pulled down her shirt then put the baby on her shoulder and softly hit her back to burp her.
"No, I got to stop thinking about him she thought. Gordo's not a part of my life anymore. I have to forget about him. He never cared for him as more than a friend, he even wrote me a letter saying that he loved Lizzie. But why did he kiss me?
*Flashback*
"I'm glad I got you as a friend Gordo" said Miranda as they sat on her porch. Her head was rested on his shoulder. She brush back some strands of raven hair behind her ear. Her wrists were wrapped up with white bandages. "I don't know what I'll do without you" Gordo grabbed hold of her hands trying to comfort her. A day before yesterday Gordo found her lying unconscious in her bedroom with a deep wound in her arms.
"I'm always here for you, I'm your best friend" he replied. "Just don't scare me like you did, don't hurt yourself because of a guy that's no good" Miranda half smiled glancing down at their hands. She then gently pulled away from him and turned her head up toward him.
"I'm sorry," she said locking eyes with him. He reached up and caressed her cheek softly wiping her tears that falling from her eyes. Before they knew it they were both leaning into each other. She placed her arms on his shoulders and closed her eyes as they lips touched. His hands fell to her waist pulling her closer to him. Her heart was throbbing as she eagerly returned the kiss not worrying about the consequences that led to it.
Lizzie was walking down the street to Miranda's house to give her a teddy bear. She turned at the corner and suddenly stopped and grasped. Her eyes grew big as saucers staring at them with loathe and pain. She uncrossed her arms and clenched her fists at her sides digging her nails in her palms. How could they do this to me she thought hiding behind a huge tree. I have to find a way to keep them apart. She turned around and then hid behind another tree closer to them so she can hear what they are saying.
"Wow" said Miranda as they pulled away from each other.
"Yeah, you could say that again" he replied smiling wide. Miranda laughed softly, her cheeks turning red. She can't believe she just said that in front of him. But he didn't mind he leaned over and kissed once more.
"We can't do this, Gordo," she said sadly. "We can't be like this, you are going out with Lizzie remember" She paused closing her eyes. "I'm not going to stay here long" Gordo's eyes widen he grabbed her hands again.
"What, Where are you going?" he asked.
"I'm leaving, I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to forget about him, everything he did to me. But I'm not going to forget how you cared for me"
"You can't leave, please," he almost begged hoping that she would change her mind.
"I have too, please don't make it harder for me to say good-bye" she said whispering, tears began to form in her brown eyes as she looked away.
"What about us?" he asked. "Didn't the kiss mean anything to you?" Lizzie winched when he said that. "How can he say that to her I'm his girlfriend?" she said under her breath.
"Of course it did Gordo, How can you say that?" She placed her head on his shoulder again. "I'm just so scared"
"He's not going to hurt you anymore, I promise" he'd never seen her so frighten. She was supposed to be the strong one. "Your the one I want"
"Forever?" she asked looking up at him.
"Forever" he answered.
*End of Flashback*
"We are here," announced Cody. Miranda quickly snapped out of her daydream and opened the door. Cody helped her out and then grabbed the baby bag. Once they were in house Cody led her to the baby's room.
"You didn't need to do this," She said as they approached the room." I could have Naty in my room" Before she said any more, Cody opened the door. "Oh my god" She looked around the entire room. The walls were painted pink with white clouds; in the middle of the room were the crib and a little playpen. The sleeves were white and it filled with teddy bears.
"Do you like it?" asked Adrienne
"I love it" she replied smiling. "Thank you guys" She reached over and gave them both a hug.
"Your welcome" said Adrienne. "I always wanted to do something to this room and I finally got the chance"
"Come on" replied Cody. "Let's go downstairs, it's my turn to fix dinner"
"No, let me do that, you almost set the kitchen on fire last time, I thought we were going to be homeless" Miranda laughed and followed the couple downstairs.
"No, I did not" Cody argued. "I just forgot that I was cooking it and it burned"
"Cody, just help her," said Adrienne pointing at Miranda who was already sitting on the couch.
"No I'm okay, I'm just a little tired, go help Addy in the kitchen" Cody nodded and went into the kitchen. Suddenly she heard a knock on the door. "Coming" she got up; put Natalie in her playpen, then she walked to the door and opened it, she felt her whole body freeze as she stared at the person standing in front of her, the only person that she'll ever loved. "Oh my god" she said softly, before she could react his arms went around her embracing her hard. She started to cry and hugged him back "Oh my god Gordo..."
