Hey, everyone! I'm REALLY sorry I haven't updated in awhile- someone accidentally shot me in the torso, and I've been recovering for the past month.

So I got back just in time for the holidays. Speaking of which, I hope everyone had a really good holiday. OK, let's get started

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Lizzie, please don't sue ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They arrived at San Diego, where Lizzie parents greeted them (yeah, they did go home, I think I forgot to mention it.) Jo, who had heard all about the threats, greeted Lizzie with a tight embrace. Lizzie jerked away, and grabbed her stomach.

"Lizzie, what's the matter?" Jo asked.

"My...my stomach's hurting me. But I'll be fine, don't worry."

They all put their luggage in the vehicle, and drove to the McGuire house. Jo and Sam rushed inside quickly, while everyone else got their luggage out of the trunk.They walked into the dark house, when the lights came on, and they hear people shouting "Surprise!" There stood the Gordon family, the Sanchez's, the Sander's, Craft's and Tudgeman's.

It soon occurred that this was a welcome home party. They saw several gifts on the table, but they said that there was even more. After opening the gifts, which was desperately needed new equipment, they all got into Sam's vehicle, and drove down a block, there the band saw something that they could hardly believe- everyone had bought them a brand new tour bus, which was larger and better than the first. It even had the REALITY logo on the sides, as well as photos of the band.

On the way back, Lizzie grabbed her stomach a few more times, refusing help, saying that she'd be fine. Once they got inside the doorway, she again grabbed her stomach, and yelped.

"Lizzie, we have to get something done about this." Gordo said.

"Oh, all right." Lizzie whined.

They went to Lizzie's doctor, where she was immediately taken in. The doctor examined her eyes, mouth, and then put her stethoscope on her chest, they moved it to her stomach. She paused, and listened carefully.

"Hmm.... I think I know what this is." she said, taking Lizzie to a nearby room. Lizzie was set up on the ultrasound, while Gordo held Lizzie's hand. The test was run, and the doctor walked up to them with a huge grin on her face.

"I was right." she said.

"What is it?" Lizzie asked.

"I'd like to be the first to congratulate you- I saw a baby in there."

Lizzie squealed and laughed as Gordo embraced her. They left the doctor's office and went home to tell everyone. As soon as they got to the house, they gathered everyone around the living room. Everyone was wondering what was going on.

"I'm pregnant." Lizzie said.

Excitement quickly went up in the room, and died down about five minutes later.

"You're gonna be a big sister. Yes you are!" Lizzie was saying to Sara later on that night. Then, she got a phone call. It Dr. Grace.

"Mrs. Gordon, I'm afraid I have some bad news.....the test was wrong- you're not pregnant."

"I'm not?"

"No. I'm extremely sorry, Mrs. Gordon. I know it's disappointing, and I wish you the best."

Lizzie hung up, and called Gordo in.

"Gordo....the test was wrong. I'm not pregnant."

"Lizzie...." Gordo said, stroking her hair.

"It's all right, Gordo." Lizzie said. "Maybe we're better off without another one."

"Lizzie, you always told me that you wanted at least two kids."

"I know, but...."

"If you want two kids, you should have two kids."

Lizzie thought about it.

"So, you're willing to have another kid?"

"Definitely." Gordo said.

"Well, let's go tell everyone the news first."

They went downstairs and told everyone about the news. Everyone attempted to comfort Lizzie, even though she wasn't in a sad mood. Later that night, Lizzie and Gordo made love- Lizzie was sure that her second child was on the way for sure this time as she snuggled in Gordo's arms and went to sleep. Everyone's lives was only starting to get a whole lot better.
