Chapter 43
………………………
Hey! Here's Chapter 43. I'm thinking of ending this absolutely dreadful story that drags on and on and on… SO. I am going to do, at most, 5 more chapters for this, and call it quits for this story. I'm experimenting a new story; drafting it in my notebook. So…
R&R!
Enjoy.

"I injected her with Morphine, and a little bit of laughing gas, to reduce her pain a little. She's asleep now, and," Mrs. Morgan paused, her eyes crinkling with a little smile. "The baby's okay, too. Don't you fret too much, Ms Sanchez."
Miranda sighed in relief as Kate dabbed at her moist eyes.
"Her bleeding was caused by too much tension in her hip tendon. Not the baby." Mrs. Morgan continued, to the palpable relief stated among the three friends.
Gordo threw up his hands and laughed openly. (A/N: In relief, of course.)

After Mrs. Morgan allowed visiting, reluctantly, Gordo strode into the ward immediately, leaving the two friends frowning slightly.

Lizzie was lying under the crisp starched sheets, a serene smile plastered on her face. In the examination room, she was laughing so hard tears seeped out from her eyes, in spite of the pain.
"I think the Morphine did the trick, but… the laughing gas?" Gordo said absently to himself, admiring Lizzie's peaceful sleep.
The tinny hospital music lulled Gordo to a near-slumber.
………………………
He woke up with a jolt when he felt a soft palm caressing his face.
"Falling asleep on me again, Gordon?" Lizzie said in a small voice, a hint of a smile in her voice.
Gordo rubbed his face furiously. "It was the music." He held up his hands, as if to say, "So sue them!"
Lizzie giggled and glanced at the tube attached to her hand. She made a move to pull the uncomfortable alien object off her hand.
Lizzie withdrew her left hand and shrugged vaguely. "Where're Miranda and Kate?"
Gordo motioned his head towards the thick frosted glass. "Probably outside, scheming how to assassinate me," he said sardonically.
Lizzie half-laughed. "Oh, come on! They won't do that."
Gordo shook his head and adopted puppy-eyes. "Seriously, Lizzie, I was thick to have suggested that you had an…" he inhaled harshly. "An abortion."
Lizzie looked away for a tense moment. "I know. I forgive you," she hugged him.
"Who said I was apologizing?"
"Gordo! You… You…"
"What about me?" Gordo smirked. "You're never good with insults, Elizabeth."
"You meathead! David, you want war? I'll give you war!" Lizzie's eyes widened in shock, before narrowing. She grabbed a stiff pillow and threw it at Gordo. It bounced off his head.
"You!" he grabbed the strewn pillow and aimed it at her face.
"Stop," Lizzie grinned triumphantly. "I'm pregnant. If anything happens, I'll sue!"
Gordo sighed and lowered the pillow. "You got me there, Lizzie."
