Jackie got up from the bed with the sheet wrapped around her. "You want me to marry you?" She asked of Kelso.
"Yes I do." said Kelso still sitting on the rumpled bed. "I love you."
Jackie sighed. "Michael I don't want you to marry me just because I've always pushed you towards that."
"Jackie that's not the reason I'm asking you. This is what I want."
"Michael come on." said Jackie exasperated. "You ran off to California to avoid marrying me."
"You know that I'm sorry.."
"Let me finish." interrupted Jackie. "It was my fault."
"Your fault? How was it your fault?"
"I pushed you into something you were not ready for. I bullied you into marriage. You didn't know what to do so..you ran. Yes it was cowardly of you but I understand why. Michael I shouldn't have pushed so hard. I should have waited until we were both ready. I pushed you into Annette's arms. I forced you to her. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
Kelso stood up from the bed and walked over to Jackie. He came up behind her pushing her black hair away from her bare back and began kissing her soft skin. "You are so fucking hot. You look so damn beautiful standing here in that sheet..I'm so hard for you. You make me so damn hard."
Jackie's breathing heightened as he continued placing kisses on her upper back. "Michael..."
He flung her down on the bed and kissed her fiercely. "Marry me.." He said in between kisses. "Say you'll marry me."
"Aaahh..Michael...Michael..."
"Say it. Say you will marry me..." His lips assaulted her breasts.
Jackie bit her lip as his mouth was doing something wonderful to her erect nipple.
"I...I.." She stammered. "I will...Oh yes Michael..."
"Say you will marry me." He said pinning her arms over her head. "Say it."
Jackie gazed at him in a trance. She could hardly get the words out. She was so turned on she couldn't think straight. Her eyes watched as his finger traced down her body and slowly moved in between her thighs. "Ohh.." She groaned softly. "Say you will be my wife." He said in a heated voice. He watched as she writhed in the bed in ectasy from his touch. "Yes Michael!" She finally said. "Yes I'll marry you!" His lips came crashing down on hers and he took her again.
The next morning Eric and Donna sat at their usual table at The Hub. Eric had received a call from Kelso and Donna received a message from Jackie. Neither of them knew what it was about. As they waited Donna looked over Eric. She loved him. She was happy he was back at Point Place. Happy they have worked things out. They weren't married yet but they had been discussing it. They wanted to wait another year. Then they would have enough money saved to buy that house. Red had come across the perfect house for them. When they saw it, they fell in love with it. Kitty and Red put a deposit down on the house for them which both Eric and Donna insisted they would pay back. The house was as good as theirs, the owner agreed to give them the time they needed. Eric was making good money now and Donna had gotten a terrific job writing a weekly column in a music magazine.
Fez came walking into the place and spotted his friends. "Hello Eric. Donna." He said sitting down.
"Hey Fez." greeted Eric. "What brings you here?"
"I got a message from Kelso." explained Fez.
"Hey there Forman." said Hyde walking in after Fez and sitting down at the table. "Any idea what this is about?"
"None. Jackie didn't say much in her message." replied Donna.
The door opened and in walked Jackie and Kelso hand in hand. "Hi Everyone." greeted Jackie cheerfully. "I'm glad you are all here. We have some big big news."
"We are getting married!" exclaimed Kelso excitedely. "Isn't that awesome!"
Donna smiled and stood up. "That's great." She said to Jackie as she hugged her. "I'm happy for you."
Eric stood up and patted Kelso's back. "Congratulations man. It's great. I'm happy for you both."
Fez looked annoyed. "I knew it." He muttered. He knew that Jackie still loved Kelso. He somehow always managed to lose to him. Fez then noticed the happy look in Jackie's eyes. "I"m happy for you both." He said. "Kelso...congratulations."
"Thanks Fez." said Kelso.
Hyde looked bored. "That's the big news?"
"Yes Steven." said Jackie. "I"m marrying Michael."
"Whatever." He muttered sitting back crossing his arms.
Kelso looked over at him. He was going to say something but decided he didn't want anything to ruin Jackie's moment but he didn't care for Hyde's attitude.
"This is so exciting." said Donna. "So do you have a date yet or..."
Jackie turned to Kelso. "Well we haven't decided yet but Michael I was thinking maybe three months from today. Is that alright?"
"Fine with me. That should give you plenty of time for wedding showers and bridal showers..and to make everyone jealous..."
Jackie laughed. "You know me so well." She said placing a kiss on his lips.
"And I also know you are dying for your ring." said Kelso taking out a small black box from his pocket. He opened it to reveal a beautiful diamond ring. Jackie stared at it. It wasn't the huge rock she dreamed of but somehow it was better than that. It was absolutely beautiful. "Michael..I love it..it's gorgeous!"
"Jackie Burkhart." He said getting down on his knee. "Will you marry me?"
"Yes Michael Kelso." She smiled. "I will."
He slipped the ring on her finger and she threw her arms around him. Donna came up to Jackie. "Come on...let me see.."
Jackie held out her hand. "It's beautiful." said Donna approvingly.
"Just like Jackie." said Kelso kissing the side of her head. Jackie smiled and turned to Donna. "I want to ask you something. I know that I haven't always been the greatest friend...and I would say some hurtful things...but I want you to be my maid of honor."
"Jackie...I'd love to. And you've been a great friend. You were always there for me and as for the things you said..don't worry about it...sometimes I thought you were right. If you didn't tell me things straight out I would be worried."
"Thanks Donna." Jackie said as she hugged her friend.
"So Eric." said Kelso. "Care to be my best man?"
"Really?" said a surprised Eric. "You want me to be your best man?"
"Yeah why not."
"I just..what about your brother?"
"Casey? Forget him. You were more like a brother to me than him."
"Thanks man."
"So..you'll do it?"
"I'd be honored." said Eric.
Jackie thought of something. She turned to Michael. "Honey...I have to go do something. I'll see you later."
"Okay." said Michael as he kissed her.
Jackie quickly headed out of the hangout. She got into her car and drove off. The house came into view and she got out of the car. Jackie walked up to the screen door and walked inside where Kitty was cleaning up the kitchen. "Hello dear." smiled Kitty. She was used to the kids coming in and out of the house.
"Hi Mrs. Forman. I need to talk to Mr. Forman. Is he here?"
"In the living room." said Kitty as she swept the floor.
Jackie headed to the living room where Red was sitting on the sofa. "Mr. Forman. I need to talk to you."
Red flicked the TV off and set it down. "Okay. What is it?"
"Well first off...Michael and I are getting married."
Red chuckled. "You and that Kelso are getting married? Why am I not surprised." He said.
"I have a favor to ask you."
"What would that be?"
"I...I was wondering...now if you don't want to..."
"Jackie out with it. What do you want?"
"Would you walk me down the aisle?"
Red looked at Jackie. "Me?"
"Look..my father is in jail..I have no idea where my mother is...You and Mrs. Forman have been like a second mom and dad to me. I mean it. Please Mr. Forman...would you?"
Red sighed. "Well...okay." He smiled. "I'd love to."
"Oh thank you Mr. Forman!" squealed Jackie hugging him.
"Okay Okay." He said pulling her off. "Just back off a bit."
"I appreciate this. I really do."
"Well...don't tell anyone but...you have been like a daughter to me. I would love nothing more than to be there for you on your wedding day."
"Thank you." said Jackie as she got up from the sofa. She headed out the front door.
Kitty stood smiling in the doorway of the kitchen. "Red Forman you are a big softy." She said. "That was a very nice thing you did for Jackie."
"Well it's true." relented Red. "Jackie's a good kid. And she's had a rough time. But she never makes excuses and I like that about her. She plows ahead. I think we've been a good example on these kids."
"Maybe so." said Kitty sitting down next to him.
