Chapter 5

As Lizzie got off the plane and entered the airport she met eyes with Miranda and they both squealed and ran to each other. "Miranda!"

"Lizzie! This is so exciting I can't believe that you're home!" Miranda hugged her and stepped aside for everyone else to do the same.

"Welcome home Lizzie" Jo said happy that her daughter was finally home.

"Hey mom!" Lizzie squealed to see her mother. "hey dad" Lizzie turned to Sam and hugged him.

"Hey sweetie" he said kissing her on the forehead

"Where's Matt" she asked

"He's at home watching dinner for me" Jo said

"Hello Lizzie" Brooke said pushing through the crowd of family that formed around Lizzie.

"Well hello, and who might you be?" Lizzie asked kneeling down and smiling at the little girl.

"My name's Brooke" the cute little 3 year old said

"Brooke? My middle name is Brooke" Lizzie said smiling at the cute curly haired girl.

"I know my daddy named me after you" Brooke said

Lizzie stood up eyes wide open, mouth dropped, shocked "mom, whose little girl is this?" she asked feeling like she already knew who it was.

"Well Lizzie, this is David's little girl" Jo said

Lizzie's stomach dropped and her heart broke he has a child?! Is he married? Am I too late? Lizzie looked down and noticed that she had Gordo's eyes and hair and smiled "well aren't the cutest little girl I've seen"

"Thank you, my daddy says that you are the beautifulest woman he ever seen" Brooke said innocently.

Lizzie blushed and laughed nervously "well tell your daddy thank you, Mom how about we head home I'm starving" Lizzie said changing the subject, she really didn't want to think of Gordo right now she would save that for when she actually sees him which she was dying to do.

"Sure Lizzie lets go"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As they were headed to the McGuire's house, Lizzie and Miranda were getting reacquainted and Brooke was asleep.

"Miranda why didn't you tell me Gordo had a daughter?" Lizzie asked motioning to the sleeping Brooke

"Well I thought it would be fun to see the look on your face when you found out and especially when you found out he named her after you"

"I know its crazy, but why is she with mom?"

"Oh Jo's been keeping her ever since the CPS brought her to him"

"Child Protective Service!"

"Yeah, her mom killed herself and left Brooke to him"

"That's so sad, so what does Gordo do?"

"what's the sudden interest in Gordo for?"

"I just want to know Miranda"

"Well he's a film director, he helped direct the Kill Bill series!" (I do not own Kill Bill)

"Really!?, I love those movies!" she said "So what do you do?"

"Well I'm a photographer for a teen magazine!"

"Really!?! Miranda that has been your dream job since I can remember! That's great"

"What have you been doing Lizzie, where were you?"

"I've been living in Virginia with Grant"

"Really? How is he?

"He's great" Lizzie said sarcastically

"What's wrong?

Lizzie eyes started to fill up with tears and she started crying.

"Awe, Lizzie what happened?" Miranda said pulling Lizzie closer to her so that she would have a shoulder to cry on.

"He hurt me Miranda and I can never forgive him" Lizzie sobbed.

"Just tell me what happened" Miranda assured

"I'm sorry I didn't tell anyone, he didn't want you all to come, we were getting married"

When Jo heard that she quickly climbed in the back of the van with Lizzie and Miranda.

Lizzie turned to Jo and gave her a hug, "Mom I'm sorry"

"It's okay Liz, just tell us what happened"

Lizzie sat up, wiped her eyes, and calmed down "well we were getting married, and he was late so I was at the alter waiting and he finally comes in smelling like weed and alcohol so I knew he was drunk and high," Lizzie looked at Jo then Miranda both giving looks of sympathy and she continued "so when he saw me he gave me this sickening smile and I knew this was going to be the worst day of my life."

"So what happened?" Jo asked with tears in her eyes she was hurt by the thought that her daughter didn't have a perfect wedding which all mothers wish their daughters would have.

"He came up to me and started yelling that I wasn't suppose to find out that he was....."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLASHBACK

"How did you know!?!" Grant yelled slurring his words, his eyes barley open

"know what?" Lizzie asked in a calm manner, she was so embarrassed.

"that I cheated on you" Grant slurred in a very low voice.

"You cheated!!?!! On me?!! How could you!!?!!" Lizzie screamed causing all his family and friends to gasp

"you didn't know?" Grant asked then started laughing "Oh well, you wasn't suppose to find out but I guess it too late" Grant broke out into more laughter. His laughter caused Lizzie to cry uncontrollably.

"why?" she asked

"because.... I don't know, do you still want to get married?"

Lizzie slapped him, it echoed through the now silent church "Hell No!!!" then the reverend gasped Lizzie and Grant looked at him annoyed.

"Fine I don't care, I'll see you around bitch!!" Grant yelled turning back to Lizzie. "Let's go Mindy" Grant called to Lizzie's maid of honor and her best friend since she first moved to Virginia.

"Mindy?! How could you!!!!!!????" Lizzie yelled at her now ex-friend

Mindy just looked at Lizzie with disgust "because you didn't give him what he needed" then they both left hand-in-hand leaving Lizzie at the alter, the second time Grant walked out on her.

END FLASHBACK

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone in the van (except for Brooke she was sleep) were crying eve Sam.

"Lizzie I'm so sorry you had to go through that, If I was there he wouldn't get out of that Church alive!" Sam said still crying. By this time all the girls had calm down some and were looking at Sam with great surprise that he was crying. Then they started laughing "Dad it's going to be ok" Lizzie smiled as it shined through her tears.

"Lizzie, we should have never let you go to Virginia, I don't know what me and your father was thinking, you should have stayed here"

"Mom its ok, I'm fine" Lizzie assured

The rest of the way was silent except for Sam's crying on and off

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"who's car?" Lizzie asked as Sam pulled up into the driveway.

"Gordo's" Miranda answered

Lizzie's stomach dropped. Great now I have to face him, what am I going to say?

As Lizzie stepped out of the van she was hit with the sudden urge to get back on the plane. No I'm not going back, you've got to tell him how you feel.

"Hey Jo, Hey Sam" a deep voice called causing Lizzie to look up. Oh my God! Gordo is so sexy. Lizzie thought

"Hey Lizzie, Hey Miranda" Gordo greeted as if he saw Lizzie on a regular basis.

"Hey groucho" Miranda snickered

"Not funny randa, where's Brooke?" Gordo asked tired of Miranda's wack ass jokes.

"In the van sleep"

"So Lizzie I see you met my daughter, hope she didn't talk your ears off" Gordo chuckled as he picked up his sleeping daughter and carried her in the house.

"No not at all" Lizzie said nervously as her and Miranda followed him into her house.

"Hey Matt!!" Lizzie screamed excited to see her little brother who was now taller than her.

"Hey Lizzie!!" he said returning the excitement as they hugged.

"Dinner is ready!" Jo called

"Hey Miranda you staying!"

"yup"

"You Gordo?"

"uh..."

"Daddy you promised me Chinese foo" said the now awake little girl

"I know, don't you want to stay here and eat? If you do I'll take you to the toystore and you can get any toy you want"

"Ok we can stay!" Brooke said excitedly

"I guess that's a yes McGuire" Gordo said smiling at Lizzie and she returned the smile with a very affectionate one that Gordo felt and quickly turned away "So how have you been doing it's been what? Six years?"

"I've been great, never better" Lizzie said sarcastically

"doesn't sound like it" He said with concern in his voice and eyes.

"yeah well its been really hard on me but I'm moving on"

"that's good shouldn't live in the past if you wanna talk about anything just call. So what do you do?

"I'm a journalist, well I was for the Daily Press in V/"

"Virginia?"

"yeah, I heard you are a film director" Lizzie said taking the spotlight off of her

"yeah, I'm working on a movie right now, if you want, whenever you're free, I can take you to meet a few stars"

"that'll be great"

"Lizzie! Dinner!" Jo called

"lets go" Lizzie said walking into the dining room Brooke and Gordo following behind.

(skipping dinner)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That was great mom, I haven't had home cooked meal like that in years"

"your welcome"

"Is my room the same?"

"yup, just the way you left it"

"great, Brooke you wanna come with me?"

"Ok" Brooke agreed taking Lizzie's hand as they went upstairs.

"I want to show you something" Lizzie said walking into her room and sitting on her bed

"What is it?" Brooke asked

"come here" Lizzie said lifting Brooke up and sat her on her lap. "you really surprised me, I wasn't expecting Gordo to have a daughter"

"yeah I got that a lot"

Lizzie chuckled "you are too cute and too sweet"

Brooke smiled

"I want you to have this" Lizzie said holding up a silver locket Gordo gave her for Christmas

"wow thanks, who's that?" Brooke asked pointing to two friends inside the locket.

"that's me and Gordo, he gave me that for Christmas when we were like... I think we were 14 or 15"

"it's prettyful" Brooke said "thank you"

"you're welcome, now let me show you some home movies"

"yay!"

They watched movies the rest of the night. Lizzie loves Brooke; she wished she had her as a daughter, actually, she wished Gordo and her had a child together. She loves Gordo, she made a lot of mistakes and finally learned she wanted to be with him all along. After what happened in Virginia, she came back to claim Gordo, she was going to propose.
