A/N: I sadly still do not own That 70's Show, and Season 8 still happened.

Thanks again for the kind reviews and follows. I hope you continue to read.

Chapter 4: Wait, Am I Dreaming

I cannot believe Steven is here. I am so scared to fall asleep. If I fall asleep will he still be here in the morning when I wake up? I am so tired. I have not been able to sleep for three weeks. God his arms feel like heaven. I can feel myself being lulled to sleep by Steven's breathing.

Sometime around dawn I startle awake, for a minute I am scared that I dreamt the whole thing. I begin to panic when I feel Steven's strong arms pull me closer. I roll over to face him and I release the breath that I realize that I have been holding.

I cannot help but to bring my lips to his. He is somewhere between sleeping and waking as he begins to kiss me back. My heart flutters, can it be this easy, can it feel this right with so many things left to be said and explained. I know it will be hours before Steven is really awake. To my surprise his eyes begin to flutter open.

"Doll, you need to sleep baby it is still early" Steven mumbles.

There is so much I need, I want to say to him. He has to know that nothing happened between me and Michael. Michael in his infinite stupidity thought that I would do it with him if he showed up naked in my room, he is definitely the king of morons.

Just the memory of the look of betrayal on Steven's face is enough to bring to tears to my eyes. I feel my tears beginning to spill over, I feel my throat tighten choking back my sobs. I feel Steven's eye's on me and I realize that he has been watching me have my mini breakdown.

Steven pulls me even closer and places a soft kiss to the top of my head,"Baby please sleep. I am not going anywhere. I promise."

Meanwhile Upstairs

"Kitty for the last time you are not going down there. We haven't heard the Loud One scream or yell. For that matter that dumbass doesn't even know that we know he's home" Red says trying to sound stern.

"Oh Red, I need to hug my baby boy and then I am going to be so mad at him that I just might let you put your foot up his a-s-s" Kitty exclaims almost bouncing with joy.

"Trust me if there is anything left of Steven by the time Jackie is done with him, he's definitely getting a foot up the ass. How could he just up and leave for three weeks and not even bother to let you know where he was. We may not be his parents but he should at least have the decency to call and let us know he was okay. I mean it is not right of him to worry you like that" states an almost growling Red.

"Red I love that boy as if he were my own, but I have grown to love Jackie too. Lord knows that just because girl grew up money does not mean that her life has been easy."

"Kitty we can not go and fix their problems for them. If there is a chance that they are going to end up together, and hopefully out of my basement, all we can do is be here for them and stop those other dumbasses from meddling."
