I realise this may not have been the reaction people expected, but the way Miranda reacts is crucial to the storyline. I didn't mean to upset anyone hehe. Sorry the updates are slow for this story as well; my other story just seems easier to write than this one. I will finish this though, I promise.

"So come on Lizzie. What was so important that I had to rush over here the day after I got back from vacation? I've still not caught up on sleep!"
Miranda really had no idea. It had only been a few days since Gordo and I had found out we were going to be parents for sure. I wanted to tell Miranda first. After all, she was my best friend. Plus her reaction would give me an indication of my parents' reaction. Whatever Miranda's reaction was, my parents' reaction would be a million times greater than that! Eeeek! Why had I told Gordo I wanted to do this alone …
"Earth to Lizzie McGuire!"
My thoughts were interrupted by Miranda throwing a pillow at me.
"Come on Lizzie. You better not have called me over here to watch you have daydreams about you and Gordo. It's sweet and all but I don't want to know what you to do when I'm not here …"
At the mention of Gordo's name I burst into tears. Stupid hormones.
"Lizzie. What is it? What have I said?" Miranda wrapped her arms around me "You and Gordo are fine aren't you? Nothing happened while I was gone?"
"Yeah Miranda" I said between sobs "Something did happen but not what you think. Well actually it started before you left but I never told you. I never told anyone"
"Told me what Lizzie?"
"Almost 2 months ago, Gordo and I we … we … this shouldn't be the hard bit! Gordo and I … well we're not … virgins anymore"
"Lizzie that's great is it not?" Miranda asked, sounding bitter
"The next part isn't. We forgot to use protection. So I'm … I'm"
"You're pregnant?"
"Yes! And I don't know what to do. Even Gordo doesn't! You're the only person we have told"
"Lizzie I never thought this of you two I really didn't. Right now I don't even know what to say to you. You're lucky I don't tell your Mum right now … do you realise how irresponsible you have been. You haven't a clue how to raise a baby! Gosh I need to go I need time to think how this happened to my best friend. Someone I always thought was responsible!"
"YOU NEED TIME TO THINK. IT'S NOT YOU WHO'S PREGNANT MIRANDA EVERYTHING ISN'T ALWAYS ABOUT YOU"
"It's your own fault Lizzie." Miranda said as she walked towards the door.
"You're meant to be my best friend Miranda. Why won't you help me?"
"Think about it yourself Lizzie. Why wouldn't I help you when you're having Gordo's baby. What reason could I have?"
With that Miranda walked out, slamming the door around her. I pondered Miranda's words for a few moments until I realised why it was so difficult for her to help me ...
