Over at the carnival in Milwaukee, Hyde and Emily were waiting in line for infamous ride, 'The Zipper.'

Emily was clearly excited as she jumped up and down with all six of the stuffed animals; Hyde had won for her, in her arms. Hyde smiled down at her happiness before looking up at the ride.

He could take it, all it was a Ferris Wheel. Well a Ferris Wheel that rocked. Literally. The cart where the passengers sat rocked back and forth as the ride spun around. Sometimes the thing would do flips. He had a feeling Emily would want to do one of those.

She was his daughter after all.

Taking his eyes off the ride, Hyde scanned over the line. It wasn't very short, there would probably be about a fifteen minute wait at the most.

Before he looked back over at Emily he caught the stares of a group of men. Men that weren't wearing jackets. They seemed to be talking to each other and laughing with each other. And Hyde had a good feeling it was about him.

The Hyde from a few years ago would have kicked the guys' asses. Heck, the Hyde today would probably do the same thing. But the Hyde today had his daughter with him. His daughter who had her mother's big mouth and would tell Jackie what he'd done. That wouldn't be good.

But he wasn't going to be the butt of anyone's jokes. And it really wasn't that cold anyways.

"Hey Ems." Hyde called out to his daughter, "Why don't you take off your jacket?"

His daughter wasn't going to be the butt of any kid's jokes either.

"Really?"

"Really." Hyde smirked as he took off his own jacket.

Emily smiled largely. She didn't have to be told twice. Quickly she placed her new toys on the floor and then unzipped her jacket. As she pulled her arms out of the sleeves she couldn't help but think how great this day was. She got new toys, she was in line to ride 'The Zipper,' she didn't have to wear her jacket, and her dad had yet to find out about the dumb baby. Things couldn't be better.

"Here you go, Daddy." Emily smiled as she handed her jacket to her father and then began picking up her items off the floor.

A few seconds of silence passed as they continued to wait in the nonmoving line, but then there was a beep. And then another. And another.

Both pairs of baby blue eyes became wide. It was the beeper, beeping loud and clear.

Hyde looked down at his daughter, looking slightly panicked. Emily knew her father was looking at her and so she looked up at him and smiled innocently.

"Daddy, can I have my jacket back?" she asked sweetly, "I'm cold."

"That's the beeper." He stated the obvious, "That means the baby's coming. Beeping means the baby's coming."

Emily frowned a bit, "I don't hear anything."

"Come on Ems, we've gotta find a phone." Hyde explained with his heart pounding and his eyes scanning the grounds for a payphone.

"But Daddy!" Emily pleaded with a pout, "'The Zipper!'"

For the first time since she had started pouting, at the age of one, her pout failed. Maybe it was because her father wasn't looking directly at her. He didn't get the full show of her lower lip sticking out and her big blue puppy dog eyes.

"We'll be back later." Hyde was quick to say before he scooped his daughter into his arms and carried her off.

As her father practically ran to the nearest information desk, Emily looked behind him. 'The Zipper' was getting smaller and smaller. She was so close and now she was getting so far.

At Point Place General, Jackie's room was filled with a comfortable silence.

Jackie and Red were playing a card game on the small serving table with some cards Red had gotten down from the gift shop. Red looked down at his hand before looking over at Jackie.

"It's your turn." He reminded.

"Oh right." Jackie nodded before frowning and looking up from her cards, "What were we playing again?"

Red rolled his eyes, "Gin."

Jackie frowned with confusion, "I thought you said it was my turn."

"That's what we're playing." Red muttered out.

"But I don't know how to play Gin." Jackie responded with a wrinkled up nose.

Red sighed in defeat as he practically slammed his card onto the table. Jackie did the same thing shortly after.

Not knowing what else to do, Red piled up the cards again and began to shuffle as he tried to think of another game they could play using the deck of cards. It wasn't easy though, his head was pounding from being in the hospital for nearly five hours.

"Hello!" a young nurse greeted almost too happily causing Jackie to roll her eyes.

"Unless you've got a second dose of the drugs, get out."

"Nope sorry." the nurse said still in her happy tone of voice, "But I do know that you've got a phone call waiting for you."

Jackie frowned as she watched the perky nurse leave her room. Good riddance too. Jackie then turned to Red who just shrugged. She reached over and grabbed the phone from the nightstand. She hoped Red hadn't called the rest of the gang.

The last thing she needed was more people worrying about her. And those who weren't worrying about her would probably be burning her.

"Hello?" she said into the receiver.

"Jackie?" a familiar voice asked wanting to make sure it was her.

Jackie breathed a sigh of relief, "Steven."

Hearing Jackie say the name of her husband Red relaxed slightly. He had also slightly begun to worry about the safety of his granddaughter and dumbass son.

"Where are you?"

"I'm still at the carnival." Hyde explained, he had found a payphone that much to Emily's dislike was away from 'The Zipper.' "Where're you?"

"At the hospital."

Hyde's Zen was lost again, "What? Why? What happened? Are you ok? What about the…"

Jackie shook her head, though she loved when he showed how he was really feeling, she didn't like it when he showed his panic.

"Steven, it's ok. I'm just in labor."

"Oh, ok." Hyde said before sighing a sigh of relief, but then he realized what his wife had said.

"Wait, what?!" he practically shouted, but before Jackie could answer he went on, "You're in labor? You can't be in labor…I thought we still had two weeks."

"I know!" Jackie exclaimed, sounding close to tears.

"Ok Babe, don't worry alright." Hyde said to her soothingly. "We'll be there as soon as we can, ok?"

Jackie sniffled, "Ok."

Hyde nodded, "Jacks, I'm real sorry about making you go through this alone…."

"I'm not alone, Steven." She informed him, still in her tiny voice.

"You're not?"

"Red's here."

"Red's there?" Hyde gulped slightly. Now not only did he have to fear his wife's rage, of him not being there, but also Red. "Um Jackie, I better go if…"

"Too late dumbass."

Hyde shut his eyes as he heard the voice of his surrogate father. "Hey Red."

"Don't 'Hey Red' me." Red grumbled before raising his voice, "Do you know how much worrying you've caused this poor girl?"

Hyde opened his mouth to answer but couldn't get a word in as Red went on his voicing getting louder and louder.

"And what the hell are you doing going to a damn carnival and leaving your pregnant wife behind?!"

"Red, it's not like I planned it this way." Hyde protested with his voice sounding firm before going into panic mode again, "We still had two weeks!"

Red rolled his eyes, how many more time was he going to hear that today?

"Yeah well now you don't." He firmly reminded him, "Now you're going to get down to this hospital as fast as you can, so you can stand by your wife's side, help her through this and have your hand broken."

"Ok, Red." Hyde answered as he looked around the carnival trying to see which would be the fastest exit.

"I'm not finished, Steven." Red said from the other line, "If you're not here soon when you do get here I'll stick my foot so far up your ass, you'll need those two weeks to recover."

Hyde nodded, believing every word Red had said.

"Got it."

With that said Hyde hung the receiver back on its stand and looked down to his daughter.

"Ok Ems, lets go." He said to her.

Emily smiled "Yay! 'The Zipper!'"

Hyde watched his daughter with surprise as she started to walk back over to 'The Zipper.' He shook his head and went after her, grabbing her hand gently.

"No, we've gotta go back home."

"Why?" Emily asked with a frown.

Hyde sighed, knowing this was not going to be easy, "Because Mommy's having the baby."

"I'm going on 'The Zipper.'" Emily argued before trying her best to go to the ride despite the fact that her father continued to hold onto her hand.

"No you're not Emily." Hyde firmly said to her, "You're going back home with me."

"But you said you would take me on 'The Zipper.'" Emily whimpered, her small pout slowly starting to appear."

"Later." Hyde said, as he avoided looking at his little girls face. He knew he would find her mother's pout. "I said later. I'll bring you later. I'll bring you some other day. We have to leave now."

"I wanna ride 'The Zipper' today!" Emily whined with a stomp of her foot.

Hyde closed his eyes and started to count silently in his head. He now understood why Red always threatened to put his foot up their asses. Of course there was no way he was going Red Forman on his little girl…not completely Red Forman anyways.

"Listen here young lady." He said changing his tone of voice to one that Red had always used with them.

Emily just stared up at her father, not looking intimidated at all. Hyde sighed before kneeling down to her level. He couldn't go even a little Red Forman on her…heck Red couldn't even go a little Red Forman on her.

"Emily, look. I know you wanna ride 'The Zipper,' but we can't. Not today." He said to her in a softer voice but still abit firm, "We've got to go to the hospital because Mommy's scared and alone. We've got to go over there to help her feel better."

Emily crosses her arms as she remembered part of the conversation she had overheard, "Grandpa Red's there."

"I know." Hyde nodded, "We've got to go over there to help Grandpa Red feel better too."

A smirk appeared on Hyde's face after the words left his mouth. Though he was worried about Jackie and was abit worried about the wrath of Red he would face when he finally got there; the thought of Red being the one to help Jackie through her contractions and all was pretty funny.

His smirk disappeared when he saw the frown his daughter continued to send his way.

"Emily, I know you're not happy about the new baby. But being a big sister is an awesome job." He smiled abit, "Believe me."

"You're not a big sister." Emily reminded as her expression stayed the same.

"No, but your Aunt La…" Hyde suddenly stopped as he realized that he didn't want his daughter to become as evil as Laurie, "No, but I'm a Daddy and daddies know a lot."

Emily did not look convinced.

"Becky Greene says that being a big sister is the worst job ever." She shared with her father causing him to frown.

"Who's Becky Greene?"

"She sits next to me in Mrs. Donaldson's class." Emily explained, "She says that when you're a big sister your mommy and daddy forget all about you and just pay attention to the new baby. Then they start to love the new baby so much that they send you to the dog house and if you stay in there too long you become a dog!"

Hyde wasn't sure if he should be upset or just laugh. Kids really did say the darndest things.

"Ems, none of that's true." He reassured her, "No matter how many other babies we have, me and Mommy will always love you." Emily smiled slightly as Hyde went on, "You'll always be Mommy's Little Angel and my Princesses."

"And you won't give the new baby any attention?" Emily asked hopefully.

Hyde shook his head, "Emily, we have to give the baby attention." He paused as he tried to think of the best way to explain this.

"When the baby is born, the baby's not gonna know how to do anything. So it's up to Mommy and me and you to take care of the baby and help the baby learn how to do things."

Emily's blue eyes became wide, "Me too?"

"Sure." Hyde nodded, "Someone's gotta teach the baby how to grow up to be an awesome kid like you."

Emily's smile grew, "Okay."

"Okay." Hyde nodded and stood up. He was feeling quite proud of himself for handling the situation.

"But first 'The Zipper!'" Emily exclaimed.

Hyde's face dropped as his feeling of pride vanished. He'd had enough of this, he had tried to be nice, but he had also tried to be Red and that didn't work either. There was only one thing left to do.

"Emily Ann Hyde, you are going with me back home now." Hyde said to his daughter in the most serious voice she had ever heard him use, "We are going to go to the hospital to be there with your Mommy and you are going to be a big sister whether you like it or not. Now come on, lets move it."

After getting over her shock, Emily crossed her arms again.

"Fine." She said in a huff as she began to walk off, "But I'm not gonna like it."
