A.N. This is my first fic for them that is not what were they thinking! I like the story, so hopefully you do as well.

Zucchini
"I want zucchini," Jackie said, out of the blue. Normally, Hyde'd pass it off as she didn't talk, or he'd argue with her about her randomness. But not this time. This time she wants...what?
"Come again?" Hyde asked, sitting up a little straighter on their couch. No, they decided it would be better to live together in an actual house rather than the Forman's basement. Well, more like Jackie. Hyde was fine with the basement.
"I want zucchini." She repeated in her 'duh!' voice. Hyde hated that voice.
"You want...zucchini." Yup, he heard her right.
"Yes, Steven! I. Want. Zucchini! Now go get me some!"
"Jackie, you can't want zucchini. Nobodywants zucchini. Not even the little kids in Africa who eat bugs for dinner want zucchini." He was trying to figure out what possessed her to want zucchini.
"Well, I'm not little starving kids in Africa! Now go get me some damn zucchini!" Jackie shrilled. She'd been moody a lot lately...
"No!" And he went back to watching TV. Jackie glared at him. Oh, he's gonna pay.
"Steven...," she whined. He swear he saw tears in her eyes. What the hell...?
"Fine fine! I'll get the damn zucchini! Just cut it with the water works!" He got up and got his coat.
"Anything else?" he asked distractedly as he searched for the keys. Where are the fucking keys! Don't they know that Jackie is about to cry?
She sniffled. "Yeah. Pick up a pregnancy test, too."
He dropped the keys he just recently found.
"C-come again?" Hyde! Since when do you stutter?
"Preg. Nan. Cy. Test. Seriously Steven, are you going deaf? Or stupid?" Oh, that was when he picked up the stuttering. When Jackie said she needed...what?
"You want me to pick up a...pregnancy test?"
"Yes!" Yup, he heard her right.
"Oh, uh...yeah. I'll just go to the um, to the um, uh..." And since when was he ever at a loss for words?
"The store, Steven." He saw her smirk. Oh, glad to know she's not gonna cry anymore.
"Right. The store. And that's where I'll be getting...the zucchini, and the...and the...um..."
"Pregnancy test?" Now she was holding back laughter. Glad to know your finding this so enjoyable!
"Yeah. That. So I'll be back later, with, uh, those. Bye."
"K, bye Steven! I love you!" She called out to him.
He paused at the door. Usually Jackie doesn't say "Love you" when he's leaving. But, then again, he also doesn't usually go out to buy...uh, zucchini, and...the...other...thing...
"Yeah. I love you too." He smirked at her. Look at your face! Not so smug now are ya, Jackilyn Burkhart? Soon to be mother? Ha!
Two can play at that game.
