Chapter 3 – When I Need You
"Hyde come on lets sit down" Donna says walking over to where he was slumped in the corner, she had never seen him cry before, Steven Hyde had finally broke in front of them at the thought of losing Jackie, his doll he was lost without her and if she died it was all his damned fault that he she was in there fighting for her life,
"I can't leave her Donna she needs me" he says not looking up as he wipes at his eyes under his glasses not wanting to let his friends see that he'd been crying,
"you'll be right here Hyde they'll come out and get us if they need us" Donna said as she looked down at him "dad and Mr and Mrs Forman are on the way" she told him as he stood up and followed her over to the seats where Fez and Kelso sat,
"Dude your crying" Kelso said as he pointed at Hyde,
"shut up Kelso" Donna said frogging him for Hyde who ignored him and took a seat by Fez.
"Steven what happened" Kitty Foreman shouted as she ran into the hospital Red and Bob by her side,
"she's overdosed" Steven said as he sat with his head in his hands to ashamed to have eye contact with his adoptive parents or Bob,
"She what?" Bob shouted in anger as he looked at Steven "I could kill you for hurting her again" he said rolling up his sleeves in agony,
"Dad please don't Jackie doesn't need this and he is really sorry dad just please" Donna said jumping up as she threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly,
"I'll go and see what I can find out ok, Steven I know your not religious or anything but maybe it will help if you go and pray for her I will" Kitty said as she bent over and kissed him softly on the head before she hurried off over to the nurses station.
As the rest of them stood and talked about what was going on and the events of the evening Hyde slowly stood up and walked away from the group down the corridor and headed towards the hospital chapel, he was going to do something he had never done before and pray, pray for Jackie and pray for forgiveness, he didn't care about Zen anymore he'd be damned if he was going to let her go again he would help her through this he wasn't going to lose his doll face. So that's where he found himself knelt over a chair in the room of the chapel praying for his doll.
"Where's Steven the doctor is going to come out and talk to us all in a moment and he should be here" Kitty said as she walked back over to everyone,
"I think he may have gone to the chapel" Red said to his wife,
"I'll go and find him" W.B said as he walked off down the corridor,
"he really does love her" Donna said sighing "I really hope she pulls through and we can all work this out" she finished resting her head on Kelso's shoulder wishing that Eric was there with them right now.
"Steven" W.B said as he walked inside the chapel, Steven turned around and faced his father as he wiped at his eyes he stood up and walked back over to him "the doctor is going to speak to us now" he explained as he patted his son on the back,
"ok" Steven said emotionally as he put his sunglasses back on and headed back out towards the others hoping that the doctor was going to bring out some good news and give him a ray of hope of making things right again.
"How is she?" Kitty spoke up as the doctor approached them,
"she's going to be ok isn't she" Steven threw in quickly terrified about her condition,
"she is in a very fragile state but we have managed to pump everything out of her system, we are hoping that she will wake up shortly so that we can access her condition further, now the baby Miss Burkhart…" the doctor began
"baby?!" Steven exclaimed shocked as he processed what the doctor had just said a hundred and one thoughts running through his head.
"what?!" Donna, Kelso and Fez exclaimed shocked as they listened on,
"yes Miss Burkhart is just over one months pregnant" the doctor said as he looked at them,
"is the baby ok?" Steven asked finding his voice, Steven Hyde was going to be a dad, him and Jackie where going to be parents, he was going to have to work damn hard to make sure he corrected his mistakes and made Jackie his wife, got them a house of their own settled down,
"as far as we know the baby is fine but we need to run tests to make sure however as she is not far along it is likely that no damage has been caused but we can not be sure" the doctor explained "are you the father?" he asked
"Yeah can I go and see her now" Steven asked
"Sure hopefully she will wake up soon if you'd like to follow me to her room" the doctor said walking off.
