Summary: Liz wins a Golden Globe!!! :)
"Alright, you guys! Golden Globes on Tuesday! EVERYONE be there. Jenna, the paparazzi are there, so--"
"I'm already ready!"
"See you guys tomorrow!"
Liz left the building, and went to her apartment. There, she saw Jack, packing the suitcase for her.
"Hey, Jack."
"Oh, Lemon. I didn't see you here."
He left what he was doing and gave Liz a kiss.
"What's my dress?"
"Oh, this? This is L’Wren Scott."
"Aw. It looks gorgeous. Thanks, Jack."
"Well, you're all set up. I have the suitcase ready with all your clothes. I'll see you on Monday, Lemon."
"Wait, Jack?"
"What is it, Lemon?"
"Do you want to be my date for the Golden Globes?"
Jack smiled.
"I would love to."
Liz kissed Jack.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. We have to get your suitcase to the airport."
"That can wait. What I want right now, is my real award."
The next day, Liz and Jack got up at 8 am. They ate at IHOP, since Liz insisted and they went to the airport.
When they got to LAX, people were flooding the doors. Tracy was there. Jenna was there also, but the attention wasn't on her.
Liz hailed a taxi and they went to the hotel. She thought she was going to stay at the Holiday Inn or something, but Jack surprised her by canceling that reservation and making a reservation at the Ritz-Carlton hotel.
"Donaghy."
"Oh, yes. Mister Donaghy, the room is at 3C."
They finally got to their room and Liz was exhausted. It was only 4 in the afternoon.
"I have six hours. I'm going to bed at 10 so I won't have any eyebags. What should we do today?"
"Enjoy LA."
The next day was finally Golden Globes day. Liz woke Jack up at 7, because she had to be at the makeup studio by 9.
"Lemon, it's seven in the morning! I was having a fantastic dream about you."
"You wanna have some breakfast?"
"Just get me a yogurt parfait, please."
"Not that kind of breakfast, silly."
"Well, in that case, I'll have everything on the menu, please."
Well, after "breakfast," Liz went to the makeup studio where they fixed her hair, put on her makeup, and put on the dress.
It was 3 PM. Two hours before the Golden Globes. Jack was waiting for her, outside the makeup studio.
"How do I look?"
Jack gasped.
"Lemon, you look absolutely gorgeous! And you're presenting with...Drew, is it?"
"Yeah, he's the boss of some company now."
"Like me."
"Yeah, like you. Except he has a sense of humor!"
Liz laughed, but Jack didn't.
"Aw, come on, pal. Have a sense of humor."
Jack still stayed silent.
"Alright. He's not exactly like you. You're very handsome, you have blue eyes. You're great in bed and you have the awkwardest ways of making me laugh. And the one more thing what's different about you and him--"
Liz kissed him.
"He doesn't have me."
Jack smiled, and Liz laughed.
"See? That's what I'm talking about! Even with just your smile, you already make me laugh."
"Come on, Lemon. Before we go to the Golden Globes, let's get something to eat."
"Ooh, where are we going?"
"You'll see."
Their limo drove up to the Cheesecake Factory.
"But wait, my dress will get ruined!!"
Jack took his tux jacket off and gave it to Liz.
"That should keep you safe."
The waiter came up to Jack and Liz and asked them what they wanted.
"One of everything."
Jack tried to avoid eye contact with the waitress.
"Oh my god, Jack?"
"Hello."
"Remember me?"
"No, I don't."
"I'm Missy, Bianca's daughter!
"I didn't know that Bianca had a daughter."
"I was 13 when you divorced her. She was married before...I was your stepdaughter."
"I recall having a stepdaughter named Jennifer."
"My name was Jenny, but I changed it to Missy."
"For the love of everything in this world, please, just get us our drinks!" Liz finally said.
"Girlfriend?" Missy asked.
"Go."
The waitress left and gave them the food.
"What was that?" Liz asked.
"Nothing. She was a stepdaughter."
"Well, whatever. I'm happy. I have food."
They got to the Red Carpet at about 4:00. People were suddenly flooding over their car.
Liz got out first, and people started taking pictures. Jack got out next, and people started screaming. Liz made her way to Alexa Chung, the reporter she knew.
"And here we have Liz Lemon, bead writer for TGS. who are you with tonight?"
"I am with Jack Donaghy."
"Is he...?"
"Yes, the rumors are true! We have been seeing each other for about three months now. Jack, get up here."
"I have an urge to call you Sir Jack Donaghy."
"Well, you are English, and you have the right, right?"
"Yes."
Alexa "knighted" Jack.
"Well, I've also been hearing other rumors. They say that there's going to be a little Jack Donaghy or a little Liz Lemon going to be born in August."
"Kenneth," Liz whispered to Jack.
"That will be in my acceptance speech tonight."
They all shared a laugh.
"Alright, thank you very much. Be careful with the stairs."
Ah, finally. It was best writing in a comedy or musical series. Liz was nominated.
Meryl Streep was presenting.
"And the Golden Globe goes to..."
She opened the paper.
"Oh my god. Liz Lemon!"
Liz was in complete shock. Jack told her to stand up, and she did. He gave her a kiss, and she ran directly to the stage.
Meryl gave the Golden Globe to her, but Liz told her to hold onto it until she was done with the speech.
"Wow, um...I don't know what to say. I wanna thank Lorne Michaels for letting me get this show, Jenna Maroney and Tracy Jordan, who also won Golden Globes today. And, I wanna tell everyone who thought Glee was gonna win....SUCK IT, MONKEYS! And, last but not least, I wanna thank my best friend, my mentor, and my boyfriend. And that's one person. Jack, if I hadn't met you, the show probably would never air. And I wanna thank you for life. And how we get to make a life...the one that's due in August. And thank you, Meryl Streep. You've been my idol ever since a minute ago. And thank you to NBC!"
The music started playing, and Liz had to stay since she was presenting next.
"And now, please welcome head writer of TGS who just won a Golden Globe and a guy...we picked up off the street. He's really handsome, I tell you. Please welcome Liz Lemon and Dr. Andrew Baird!
Drew escorted Liz to the podium and then they presented.
"Your nominees for best actress in a motion picture..."
Liz started saying the names.
"And the Golden Globe goes to..."
"Natalie Portman!"
Cheers and applause stirred the room. Natalie made her speech, and after she got down from the stage, Liz sat back down. It was only a matter of minutes until the after-party.
"Well, I guess that's about it."
The Golden Globes ended and the TGS crew was interviewed backstage.
"You and Jack? And a baby?!" Jenna asked.
"I meant to tell you earlier, but I was so caught up--"
"How long have you been pregnant?"
"About--"
"4 months?"
"I think so..."
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Twins. A boy and a girl."
"Oh. In that case, congratulations!"
Jack and Liz went to the after-party where they got a little drunk, and then they had "dinner" afterwards. At least Jack got an award.
END
Love the fact that Meryl Streep is presenting the award for Liz Lemon :)
