A/N- I do not own That 70s Show, never have, and as of this moment it does not look like I ever will *sigh of disappointment*.
Seven Moments
Chapter 1
"Well, do you have somewhere to go honey?" The friendly nurse, Kitty asked.
"...Oh. Not at the moment Mrs. Forman." I murmured, trying not to breathe too deeply.
"What? What about your parents?"
"...My mom died early on last year. My dad's in jail." I explained, trying not to let too much emotion into my voice.
"You don't have any parents?!" She cried. "What about friends to stay with?" I shook my head.
"But don't worry ma'am, I will be just fine."
"Well what about a job? Have you finished high school?"
"...No. I had to drop out, last year." I murmured, my head down in shame.
"Alrightey then! That settles it!" She had a large smile on her face. I watched her in confusion, not comprehending what she was talking about. She must have noticed my expression because she gave me an even wider smile. "You are coming home with me!"
"W-what? Oh no, Mrs. Forman I couldn't! No, thank you so very much, but I couldn't do that." I protested immediately.
"Well of course you can! You don't have anywhere else, and it really isn't any trouble!"
"But it is! It is a lot of trouble. I can't just stay with you!"
"Yes you can! And that is what is happening missy! You are being released tomorrow afternoon, and then I am taking you home with me."
...
"Kitty! No, we are not taking in another one!"
"Oh yes we are Red Forman! She can stay in Laurie's room until she comes back. And, you will be kind to her!"
"But Kitty-!"
"I said we are and that is final!"
...
"And you can stay up here dear, in Laurie's room while she's away at college."
"Thank you Mrs. Forman, really. I do appreciate it." I said, blushing deeply, though my voice conveyed my sincerity.
"Oh not to worry dear. Eric's room is just across, if you need anything. And mine and Red's there." She pointed further down the hall, closer to the stairs.
...
"Um... Jackie, right?" I asked with a slight smile.
"Uh... yeah? What do you want?" She sighed.
"Um, I was just wondering if you could help me with something...?"
...
"Damn new girl! You actually have some pretty nice clothes! And have much better taste than Donna." Jackie swore in approval. I smiled tightly.
"Thanks. So what do you think? Something salvageable here?" I asked giving her a slow turn.
