AN: Ideas for another story started going through my mind when I was writing Don't Stop Me Now, I have read a lot of different stories and I try to bring a different twist to the situations. I hope you enjoy this one. Again I own nothing. Also chapter titles are songs from 60s and 70s. This is starts out at Till the Next Good Bye.

One More Shot

Eric Foreman was standing at the airport, he looked at Donna who he was leaving behind. As he stood there he was thinking of all the different things they wanted in their lives, Donna had wanted to write and travel, Eric just wanted to make his way in life and settle down, he wanted to be able to have a good job and he knew that college would be the best way to get that, but standing there he thought of the life he wanted after college, and he realized that it was different than what Donna was wanting.

"Donna don't wait for me, he both have been friends, lovers and whatever this is now, but we both see different things in our future. It was right to not get married because back then the only future I saw of us together was not good, and even now. Sad to say I think I understand Jackie right now, we don't have a future together, we never really did, but we need to stop wasting time. You need to find your life and I need to find mine."

Donna just stood there, she knew her heart should be breaking, but it made since what he was saying, ever since the wedding that never happened she really couldn't see a future with Eric, her old dream back when he gave her the promise ring kept haunting her. "You are right, and if we drag this out we could end up hating each other and we've been friends too long for us to end that way"

"I do love you Donna but we both need to find who we are without each other"

"I love you too Eric, but you are right we have been together because we don't know who we are without each other."

After Eric got on the plane Donna realized there was something she needed to do, like last time she needed to see her mom, but first she needed to get the Vista Cruiser back to the Foreman's, if it wasn't just her she would have jumped on a plane right then, but she needed to talk to her dad first, this time she wasn't running away like last time, disappearing without telling anyone. She needed time alone to think, no taking Kelso with her this time, she would just fly out. But she had her job and her dad and she needed to do things right this time. She hoped Jackie and Hyde was doing better than her and Eric.

Jackie was sitting in her room in Chicago, she was lonely and had called Brook, but she was busy but promised she would come by later when her mom could watch Betsey for a bit. She had done it, she had loaded as much as she could of her belongings in her car and drove herself to Chicago. Right now she was staying in a pretty crappy motel, but right now that was all she could afford. She didn't let anyone know the truth, she had very little money and her mom was selling the house out from underneath her. She would have stayed in Point Place if she could but she was running out of time and the job offer came from Chicago. She was just glad she was out of there before everyone found out she was basically homeless. Her father wanted nothing to do with her. Her friends even boyfriend didn't even know she had actually finished school back in December, after everything that went down Christmas and Steven refusing to grow up, she knew even then that this was coming that it was going to be a matter of time before she wouldn't have a place to stay. Maybe she should have never gotten back together with Steven after that last break up, she could have taken and started to get her life in order then. But she still wanted to be the hopeless romantic, she wanted her happily ever after with her knight. She had put Steven up on his white horse too many times she decided only to watch him fall, and never really fight for her. She needed to move on, she needed to forget all about what she had left behind. She had called and talked to Eric and the Foreman's it was hardest talking to Mr. Foreman, he was the father she wished she had, she didn't understand how Laurie could not seem to appreciate what a great father she had.

She wasn't sure if she should leave her stuff in her car or try and find room to stack everything. She had taken to unpack some clothes, hang her dresses she would need. She was busy with this when she heard a knock on the door, she thought maybe Brook had been able to come over sooner only to find Michael Kelso at her door. "Michael what are you doing here?" he was one of the last people she really wanted to see. She kept standing at the door not letting him in.

"Well I heard from Brook that you were lonely and she was going to visit with you for a little while but I thought maybe I would help with your loneliness"

"Michael I am not sure that you are the company I want right now. I just wanted some girl time, and I really would like for you to leave." She stepped back and slammed the door, she thought to herself to lock the door and make sure to check who it was next time.

She finished putting up her clothes and decided she would read a magazine while she waited for Brook to show up, she had grabbed the gifts she has for Betsey it hurt that these were the last things she and Steven had shopped together for, she had dragged him to the mall after being named her godparents, back when Michael thought they had more of a future together than Donna and Eric. Steven had even picked out a few of the things and had paid for it, they just never got around to giving them to Michael so she made sure to bring them to Chicago with her.

She was laying on the bed when she heard a knock on the door, not sure if it was Brook or Michael coming back again she looked out the peep hole only to see Steven. What was he doing here? She figured he drove all this way to yell at her for calling earlier and talking to everyone but him, she could tell by the way Eric talked to her on the phone earlier that he was sitting right there. But if he couldn't see her in his future she needed to move on, despite how much she loved him. She needed love too, and she was tired of not getting it from anyone, her parents never really loved her, Michael never loved her and it was now obvious that Steven never loved her either. There had been times she thought maybe he did, he had said it once, after telling her about the nurse, but never told her again. She wasn't going to waste her time on someone that wasn't going to love her back. She opened the door, she wasn't sure what she was expecting, "Steven!"

"Look Jackie we need to talk, you left me with a note, how could you?"

"What you got so wasted the night before I wasn't sure if you would even remember what I told you so I figured I would just write it down for you. Apparently I wasn't as important to you as I thought, maybe we should have just stayed broken up after this last time a few months ago."

"Jackie we have been together almost 2 years, isn't that show you how important you are to me?"

"No not really, you never told me even when I asked. I am tired of being in one sided relationships, it's time I move on. Maybe down the road I will be able to find love. But I won't be like my mother, when I marry it won't be for money. When I have kids they will know love that I never have had." By this time Jackie was in tears.

Steven was about to take her in his arms, but Kelso showed up in nothing but a towel. "Jackie I looked and no one can see us from the parking lot…" Steven went to grab at him and only got his towel and Michael took off running, "I'm NUDE!"

Steven looked at Jackie who was still crying, "So back to Kelso I see, I guess as long as he tells you he loves you, you will take him back again and again."

"No it's not like that"

"Save it, Jackie this is over I never should have come here"

Before Jackie could say anything else Steven was burning his tires in the parking lot and took off. Jackie closed the door and locked it and bolted it she couldn't think of anything but what Steven probably thought and he wouldn't stay around to find the truth, he only cared about what he thought was the truth and not anyone else. He would never trust her, and God only knew where he was going and what he would do this time. Utter heartbreak was all that Jackie could describe what she was feeling. Before she knew it she was in the bathroom throwing up, unable to move. She laid on the bathroom floor when she was done too exhausted to move anymore. If she had the strength she would find Michael Kelso and kill him, or at least make his shins black and blue.

She had dozed asleep on the floor and was woken up to a soft knock on the door, she could hear Brook on the other side of the door. She pulled herself up and went to open the door, not even taking time to check the mirror. "Jackie what is wrong? You look like you are really sick"

Jackie burst into tears not sure if Brook would understand her, "Michael showed up, I kicked him out and locked the door, then Steven showed up we were talking and Michael showed up again, only this time in a towel talking about doing it or something, it is a blur Steven grabbed the towel Michael running naked out in the parking lot Steven looking at me with disgust and peeled out of here. I went and threw up and I guess I fell asleep on the bathroom floor"

Jackie went and sat on the bed and Brook sat down beside her. "Michael was here? He was supposed to be coming and picking up Betsey, but he never showed. I ended up taking her to mom's"

"I don't know where Michael is, and really don't care" Jackie took and curled up in a ball on the bed, "I understand if this isn't the girl's night you was expecting and want to go home"

"Jackie I don't think you need to be alone right now, are you going to be able to make it in for your first day tomorrow?"

"I am going to have to, if I lose this job I don't know what I'll do. It's not like I have parents that care about me to provide for me anymore, I am 18 and out of school all their legal obligations are met, they just prepared me to get married and not take care of myself. I have to figure this out on my own, but it starts with this job. It was the only one I was offered. Nothing panned out at least in the time frame I needed anywhere closer to Point Place. The only other job I had there was working at the Cheese Shop again, and that wouldn't cover my bills."

Brook sat there rubbing Jackie's back, her heart went out for this girl that most only saw as a spoiled rich princess, few knew the real her. Anger was also consuming her, the father of her child had caused this girl so much heart ache in the past, and this stupid stunt he just pulled may have topped it all. She wondered if he even remembered he was supposed to be picking up Betsey, he would not find her now since her mom had recently moved. She hated that the father of her child was so immature, there was times she thought he was growing up. But then something would happen, times he was supposed to be in Chicago with Betsey he would be with Angie or some other girl he had picked up. She trusted him to pick out Betsey's godparents and really thought that Jackie and Steven were the best choice. She wasn't sure she wanted Donna, a girl who claimed to be a feminist but went by Hot Donna on the radio and had pictures objectifying her all over, and Eric had spent most of the last year as a lazy bum for the most part. While Jackie was young she seemed real and Steven was busy with his father's record store, she could tell that they both were going places. Both had been left behind by their own parents, but she knew they would not do that to Betsey if it came to it. Her and Jackie had gotten close in the last few months, Jackie was able to tell her what all was happening to her and it was Brook that showed the TV station Jackie's tapes that got her the offer. She knew that nothing was happening job wise in Point Place, and at least in Chicago she would have a friend.

Jackie bolted to the bathroom again, awakening Brook from her thoughts. Brook went after her and held her hair back, "Brook something is wrong, it hurts too much"

She looked down and noticed the blood, she wasn't sure what was going on, this wasn't the normal cramps she felt and it wasn't the normal bleeding before she could say anything else it wall went dark.

Brook looked at the girl on the floor and went over and called an ambulance, then she picked up the phone and called the only people she knew that would care in Point Place, Kitty picked up the phone, "Mrs. Foreman this is Brook, I am with Jackie, I am not sure what is going on but I just called an ambulance for her we are in Chicago, I know the closest hospital is County. She has been upset and throwing up, but then she started bleeding, almost like a hemorrhaging and she passed out."

"Where is Steven?"

"It's a long story but he took off after a misunderstanding, he should be back there soon I would think"

"Ok, I'll see if Fez or someone can ride with me to Chicago and I'll leave Red here to deal with Steven. I was under the impression he was going to Chicago to bring Jackie home."

They hung up and Brook followed the ambulance to the hospital, worried for her friend. Jackie hadn't said anything about being pregnant, but she wondered if she was having a miscarriage. Right now there would be hell to pay when she saw Michael and Hyde.

Kitty hung up the phone and looked at Red who was sitting at the table getting ready to finally read his newspaper. "Red I need to go to Chicago, Brook just called she doesn't know what is wrong but she had to call an ambulance for Jackie."

"Where is Steven?"

"He was down there and then left after some misunderstanding, I wasn't able to get all the details, he should be back here, but I need to leave now. But I don't want to have Steven come back to an empty house."

"Donna isn't back yet from dropping off Eric, I don't trust Kettlehead, I think Fez is down in the basement"

Kitty went over to the door to the basement, "Fez are you down there?"

"Yes Miss Kitty, I am sitting here all alone, all my friends have left me" he said sadly.

"Well come up here, I need to talk to you"

Fez walked into the kitchen, "what did you need to talk to me about, am I not allowed in your basement with everyone gone?"

"No that is not it, I need to go to Chicago and I wanted to see if you would go with me? Red needs to wait here for Steven"

"I thought Hyde was in Chicago with Jackie? Why do you need to go to Chicago?"

"Steven left, I am not sure what happened, but Brook called, Jackie is on her way to the hospital, I don't know what is happening with her just we need to get down there." Kitty stopped and looked at her husband, "do you think I should call Pam?"

Red had been skimming over the paper and noticed an article about the Burkhart Mansion being put on the auction block, having been vacated recently. "I don't think Pam will answer, Kitty it looks like Jackie was losing her home, I am guessing Pam took off again." And he showed the article to Kitty and Fez.

"Aiye, that might be why Jackie wanted to know if she had a future with Steven if it would be worth staying here or if she needed to take the job in Chicago"

Red looked at the foreign boy, "What did Steven say?"

"He didn't we got drunk with Charlie and she left that letter and left"

"You guys need to get on the road, call here when you get there, if no answer call Bob, I'll have him know what is going on, when Steven gets here we will head to Chicago. Donna should be back soon, we will see if she wants to come with us."

As Kitty and Fez pulled out, Red was going through several emotions, one he was genuinely worried about his favorite girl, and he was upset with his foster son for letting her go. He figured he would go talk to Bob while he waited for Steven to come home.

Eric landed in New York, he would be there for several weeks before the flight to Africa, here he would be in training and orientation before leaving, this was the last stop he knew that at anytime during these weeks if he was to pull out of going this would be the time, after that he was all in. He just hoped everything would be good while he was gone, Hyde would finally grow up and do right by Jackie, he may call her the devil but he knew that Jackie had a good heart and loved his brother like no one else ever would. They were made for each other, bringing out the best of each other, they challenged each other and pushed to be better. He just wished Hyde would admit it out loud and to himself. He hoped his dad's health would be OK while he was gone, he worried about him and what his mother would do if Hyde did finally move out and she got her empty nest. He couldn't help but wonder where in the world his sister was and what she was doing, he knew both his parents worried about her and wished she could be the sweet girl that they raised her to be. Donna, he hoped she would take her own initiative and travel and start writing again not just spinning records as a DJ. She was his best friend and he was going to miss her. But he knew it was time they closed that chapter together.

Kitty and Fez arrived at the hospital in Chicago and saw Brook in the waiting room. Kitty immediately walked up to the girl. "Brook have you heard anything?"

"No not yet, they are running tests and such right now." Brook led them to the a quiet place in the waiting room. "Fez have you heard from Michael?"

"No last I heard he was coming to get Betsey for the weekend"

"He never showed up to pick her up, but he showed up at Jackie's motel room twice, the first time Jackie slammed the door, the second time was when Steven showed up and they were talking, but he was this time in a towel talking about doing it. Steven took off his towel and then Steven peeled out of the parking lot. Jackie had been throwing up and fell asleep on the bathroom floor when I got there, we talked she told me what happened and then she got sick again and started bleeding and passed out."

"Oh dear, Red is at home waiting for Steven to show up, I need to call him if they are still home."

Kitty went over to the phones and placed a collect call hoping that no one would answer and she could call Bob and find out when the guys left, her heart sunk when Red answered and accepted the charges. Red was fuming at what Kitty told him, Steven wasn't back yet and all he had was the Vista Cruiser and he didn't want to drive it that far, and he wanted to wait at the house for when Steven showed up, he told Kitty to stay there and call with updates. He hung up the phone when he Bob and Donna came over.

"Donna you haven't heard from Steven have you?"

"No why? Last we saw him he was heading to Chicago, he doesn't know I saw, but he had a ring for Jackie"

"Well Kettlehead showed up and Steven jumped to conclusions and took off. Right now I am debating whose ass is going to get my foot first Steven or Kettlehead."

Bob and Donna both took seats at the table, Bob saw the article Red had been reading about the mansion. "Pam is selling the house?"

"No according to the article it is being actioned, for back taxes. I am guessing you haven't heard from Pam recently?"

"No not since she moved out"

"Well I guess we need to find Hyde, but I don't know where to look, and how to even start" Donna said.

"Look Charlie is here get him and drive around check his store and the bars and then check back here, I am staying here till we know something, I don't trust the Vista Cruiser driving all the way to Chicago. Kitty and Fez took the Toyota. Bob if you want to check and see if you can find anything on Pam, not sure if she should even know or if she will care that Jackie is in the hospital. Kitty is going to call here with updates on Jackie."

"I'll wait with you Red, there is no telling what has happened to Pam and I am not sure Jackie would need her there if we found her, if she has Kitty that is who she really needs."

Charlie had finally made his way down stairs, "Hey guys what is going on?"

"Charlie we need to see if we can find Hyde, can you come with me? Dad can I borrow your car?"

Bob handed his keys to Donna and she and Charlie started out the door. "Charlie let's try and see if he found his way into the warehouse, if we are lucky that is going to be his stop."

"I hope Donna finds him, but I won't feel sorry for what she might do to him when she does find him."

"As long as she drags him back here for me to finish the job" They sat and waited for someone to come in the door or the phone to ring.

Michael had gotten dressed and finally remembered he was supposed to be getting Betsey for the week, he drove over to Brook's apartment and she wasn't there, he went over to her mom's house only to find that she had recently moved and he wasn't sure where she lived. So he went back to Jackie's motel room only to find it empty, the manager said someone was taken out of the room and loaded into an ambulance. So he figured he best get to the hospital and find out what was going on and get his daughter for the weekend.

While all this was going on Hyde still furious at the situation he witnessed was driving, only stopping to get gas, he was lucky WB had given him a credit card for emergencies, to him getting the hell away from everyone was an emergency. Without a thought of the responsibilities back home and the people that cared for him, he kept driving.

Kitty was finally able to convince a nurse to let her back to see Jackie.

She found the small girl curled up in a ball. "Jackie Sweetie, are you OK?"

She cautiously sat on the edge of the bed and the girl launched herself at the mother figure. "I didn't even know I had it and I lost it" that was all the girl could say.
