Chapter 2

Monday morning is always hectic. But for the Gordon Family it was EXTREMELY hectic. Rai is bouncing around in her pajamas wanting to watch cartoons, Erika is crying, Gage can't find anything, and Jason is throwing a football around the house. Gordo is in an unbuttoned white shirt with his tie hanging around his neck and his black slacks on trying to retrieve papers for work. Lizzie is in the kitchen trying to get Gage and Jason's lunch ready and make them all breakfast at the same time.

"Dad catch!" Jason lobbed the ball at his dad.

"Not right now...ooff!" The ball hit him in the stomach. Jason ran up the stairs to avoid his dad and find his shoes. Lizzie walked over to Gordo and put her hand on his back.

"It's a new week," She says handing him a cup of steaming Postum.

"I can already tell," He took a sip and sighed. Kissing Lizzie he walked into the living room and found Rai bouncing on the couch.

"T.V. T.V. T.V." She chanted as her dad found PowerPuff Girls for his four year old. Erika is in her playpen crying. He went over and picked her up. She immediatly stopped crying.

"Dad, where's my backp..." Gage tripped over his untied shoelaces and landed at the foot of the stairs. Rubbing his head he stands up. "Not funny dad," He whines as his dad laughs at him.

"Actually Gage...it is..." He laughs some more and heads back to the kitchen. Lizzie came out with a paper bag marked Gage. She hands it to him and smiles. Gage opened his mouth to say something but Lizzie placed her finger on his lips.

"Yes, there's a brownie in there." She said. She kissed him on the cheek and handed him his backpack. He smiled. With his brown-blonde hair and missing his two front teeth he was quite adorable for ten years old. Jason ran down the stairs ready to go.

"Mom do you have my..." Lizzie picked up a bag marked Jason and handed it to him. He opened his mouth.

"Yes there's a fruit roll up in there for you." He smiled. He had blonde hair like his mother and hand only two more baby teeth left. He was what girls would call.

"Have a good day you guys, I love you." She said and kissed them both on the forhead. Their bus honked. "Now get out there, hurry before you miss it." The two boys ran out the door.

"Love you!" They cried, the door slammed shut.

"Finally," Gordo sighed.

"Oh shush, you love em' to death." She says and takes Erika from him.

"Oh you know once in awhile." He pecked her on the cheek.

"You better get going." Lizzie said setting Erika in her high chair.

"Do I have too?" Gordo whined, putting his arms around Lizzie's waist, his hands on her stomach.

"Yes you do." She turned around and faced him. She kissed him passionatly on the lips, pulled away, buttoned up his shirt and tied his tie. "Now get going," She said.

"Fine, but mommy,"

"Hmm?" She replied, smiling.

"Can I have something sweet for the road?" He asked.

"Okay if you must." She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him again. "I love you, now get out of here." She threw his briefcase at him, barely catching it he headed to the door and opened it.

"I love you, see you tonight." He said and walked out.

She sighed. She really did love him. She picked up some baby food and started feeding it to Erika who enjoyed it in her ears and nose rather than her mouth. Lizzie laughed with her daughter as the food became her clothing.

"Rai!" She yelled, no answer. "Rai! Come eat your cereal." She yelled. Rai came bouncing in.

"Morning mommy." She said and began eating her cereal. The doorbell rang as the three girls enjoyed their breakfast. "I'll get it!" Rai cried, standing in her seat and sticking her stomach out, hands on her hips.

"No, I willl. Keep an eye on Erika, but don't touch her." She warned, shaking a finger at her mischevious four year old.

Lizzie walked to the front door and opened it happily. There in front of her was a very pretty woman, mid twenties. She had long brown hair, green eyes, and a pale complexion. She looked familiar but Lizzie really couldn't place her in her memory.

"May I help you?" She asked.

"Yes, I'm looking for David Gordon." She said, tugging at a lock of her long hair.

"He's not here, but would you like to come in so I can give you his cell?" Lizzie asked, opening the screen.

"No that's okay, can you just tell him that Tiffany came by?" She said.

"Tiffany who?" Lizzie asked, storing the information away.

"His girlfriend..." She said flatly...Lizzie's face filled with shock.
