Chapter Two: FEZ

"Oh, happy day!" hollered a considerably excited Fez, as he replaced the handset on the phone in his living room.

The foreign man jumped up and on to the couch and began to bounce up and down happily.

"Fez! What are you doing?" came the half irritated, half amused voice of his wife as she stood in the living room door way with her arms crossed on top of her very pregnant belly.

"Oh! You'll never believe it, my gumdrop! I just got off the phone with Kelso, who just got off the phone with Hyde, who said that he wants to start up the restaurant with us! No more styling old ladies hair for Fez!" he said in a rush, jumping off the couch and crossing to his wife, Laurie.

Fez and Laurie had decided shortly into 1980 that not only did they still share the common interest of having their "needs" fulfilled, but they also shared the same feeling that they should marry again and give their needs what they wanted most: each other.

Fez had ended his fledgling relationship with Jackie shortly after New Year's Day 1980. Both had realized that their relationship would progress to nothing beyond best friends. Neither one had hard feelings and Jackie had fully supported Fez when he decided to propose to Laurie. She had even helped him plan the elaborate scheme, which included a trip to Funland and a romantic proposal on top of the Ferris wheel.

They were married in November 1980 and true to form, Laurie had already been eight months pregnant with their daughter. Erin was born on Christmas Day that year. The entire gang plus Kitty, Red, and Bob had spent Christmas at the hospital waiting for the newest member of their family.

In his reminiscences of that night Fez could distinctly recall that Jackie and Hyde had been suspiciously absent for most of the night, reappearing just before Erin was introduced to the gang. He never asked Jackie or Hyde about what happened that night, however, and it was probably for the best, things worked out fine without the gang's interference.

The couple had lived with Forman's until Fez was promoted at the hair salon just before Erin's first birthday. Laurie had returned to beauty school and worked in the same salon as Fez as the lead manicurist. After the promotion, Fez had put a down payment on a lovely three-bedroom townhouse in a new development in town. He had surprised Laurie with it for Christmas and they moved-in in time to celebrate the New Year.

Fez and Laurie had shared a very good marriage for the past eight years and were finally expecting their second child after a period of time when Laurie's 'lady parts' doctor had been unsure if she would be able to have any more children. She was diagnosed with ovarian cysts in 1984 and after their removal the outlook for childbearing wasn't very good. It took some time but as Fez proudly announced: "his team from the inseam had made it upstream!" Their son would be born in less than a month.

Fez and Kelso had been hoping to open a restaurant for the past two years. Both were becoming increasingly unhappy with their current occupations and had wanted to spend more time with their families. Fez had been putting aside money each month to help pay for the start up it would take to get their dream realized. And now with this news that Hyde wanted in the deal and would be bringing in some considerable money was just the thing to bring Fez up higher than a sugar rush.

"Oh, Fezzie that's great! But what about Grooves? Isn't Hyde going to work there anymore?" she asked, as Fez grabbed her hands and kissed them.

"I do not know, Kelso, just said that Hyde wanted in," he said with a puzzled expression, "I'm meeting them tomorrow to talk about, I guess I'll find out then. Oh, Laurie, I am so happy!"

Laurie smiled and leaned in to kiss her husband. Fez responded in kind, gently dipping his pregnant wife back as they kissed.

"Ewwwww! Mom! Dad! I don't want to see that!"

Eight-year-old Erin stood with her hands on her hips, looking at her parents with disgust.

"Well, then you're living in the wrong house, kiddo," Fez said affectionately, as he righted his wife.

Erin rolled her dark eyes, "Daddy, I'm going to be late for ballet!"

"Yeah, you better get her there, Fezzie," Laurie said, walking towards her daughter and brushing the girl's dark blonde hair out of her dark eyes, "They are posting the parts for their recital today."

"Yeah, and I just have to know if I beat Betsy for the Swan Princess!" Erin whined, "That'll burn!"

Laurie shared a smirk with Fez. The gang's kids had been taught well on the fine art of burning. It was Hyde really who had started it all with Sophie. He reasoned that their kids were an extension of themselves so they needed to be able to burn with the best of them.

"Alright then, sugar pie," Fez said, "Go get your bag."

Erin ran out of the room.

"I'll probably see Jackie there, maybe she can tell me what's going on with Hyde and restaurant idea," he said as he grabbed his keys.

Laurie nodded, "So Jackie is still making Sophie go to ballet? She hates it!"

"Yes, but she promised Sophie if she does this one recital then she'll let her choose whatever she wants to do afterwards."

"And what does Sophie want to do?"

"Guitar. Her first choice was drums, but Jackie nixed that one quick."

Laurie laughed, "Hyde's influence I'm sure. Poor Soph, she'll have a rough time in high school with who she has for a mom."

"Yes, Jackie is still quite bitchy isn't she? But so is Donna… and so are you… especially since you are pregnant-"

Laurie smacked him on the arm.

"Ow! You see what I mean? But you know…" Fez raised an eyebrow, "I like the rough stuff."

Laurie giggled and kissed him on the cheek, "I love you, Fezzie."

"And I love you, queen of my heart," Fez said placing a hand on their unborn child and nuzzling his wife's neck.

Erin walked up just then. "Ahem! Daddy, I'm ready."

"Then let's go, my swan princess."

"Good luck, honey. And remember to be nice to Betsy… at least when the teacher is watching," Laurie told Erin as she gave her a kiss.

Erin grinned, "Okay, Mommy." The little girl reached out and patted her mother's stomach, "Bye, baby."

"Oh and Fez, will you stop at the A&P on your way back? I have a craving for chips and chocolate syrup."

Fez looked surprised, "Together?"

Laurie raised an eyebrow and motioned to her belly.

"A girl after my own heart," he said with a smile, "Yummy!"
