Matt's POV

When Lizzie, Gordo and Mom were at their doctor's appointment, Miranda and I went to see a movie. We went to see Troy. We found seats in the back of the theater and by the time the movie started we were already starting to get comfortable. Neither of us really saw all that much of the movie.

As we got up to leave, though, we heard someone calling from the front of the theater, "Hey Sanchez!"

The two of us turned around and came face-to-face with Kate and Claire.

"So, Sanchez, you can't find a real date, so you have to rob the cradle?" Claire asked Miranda with a sneer.

"What, you can't find a guy at all, so you have to date Kate?" Miranda retorted and stormed out of the theater dragging me with her.

We returned home and found that Miranda's parents were there helping to paint the basement. At seeing our parents, we dropped hands and each grabbed a paintbrush to help out.

Lizzie's POV

After my doctor's appointment, Gordo, Mom and I returned home to begin with painting the basement. Gordo and I had chosen a pretty light blue for the nursery and a darker blue for our room. My father was still at work and Matt and Miranda were at the movies, so my mother called the Sanchezes and they came over to help us paint.


The Following Saturday

Gordo's POV

Two days after Lizzie's doctor's appointment, the McGuires, Sanchezes and I finished painting and the carpets, an off-white color, had been placed and a walk-in closet had been built. We were all so tired from working, so instead of Mrs. McGuire cooking anything, we went out to dinner at the Olive Garden.

We had just arrived at the restaurant and had been seated, when my parents walked in. The hostess brought them in our direction, but stopped when my father loudly protested, "Miss, I am sorry, but I cannot sit anywhere near these people."

The hostess looked shocked as Daniella Sanchez stood up and said, "What? Are you ashamed to see your son after the way you treated him?"

"Not only did he get this girl pregnant, but she's not even Jewish. He should be the one ashamed," my father retorted.

At this I finally stood up to my father and said, "Just because she's not Jewish doesn't mean I don't love her. That is obviously an emotion that you cannot understand." With that I ran out of the restaurant, leaving the waiters and the other guests looking horrified.

Lizzie's POV

I watched the love of my life run out of the restaurant after defending me and I felt so horrible. This was all my fault and I needed to fix things. I stood quickly, looked at the Gordons and ran after Gordo.

I ran outside and looked around for Gordo, and when I couldn't find him, I ran back inside to where the Gordons were and said to Mr. Gordon, "Now look and see what you've done, he's run away."

Howard Gordon looked me straight in the eye and said, "Good."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing and so I slapped him before everything went black.

Sam's POV

I watched Gordo run out of the restaurant and a minute later, Lizzie followed him. The Gordons walked over to and sat on the other side of the restaurant. I was about to get up and follow her when she came running back in and went over to the Gordons. She started screaming at Howard, but I could barely hear what she was saying. Then, she fell to the ground.

I heard Jo scream as Edward Sanchez and I ran over to Lizzie. She was unconscious and I picked her up and brought her to the mini-van. Matt and Miranda were at my heels. They jumped in the back seat with Lizzie, while Jo, Daniella and Edward got into the Sanchezes car. Both cars then headed towards the hospital.

Gordo's POV

When I ran out of the restaurant, I just kept running. I didn't know where I was going. Finally, after a couple of minutes I stopped and realized I was on my street, the street I grew up on. I knew the McGuires were probably worried, but at the moment I didn't care.
