Author's Note: Here's the next and final chapter. It took me awhile to get it to go the way I really wanted it to so that's why it took so long to update. I hope you enjoy it!
"What's taking so damn long?" Red muttered to himself while pacing the hospital hallway.
"Oh, Red would you calm down already. It always takes a while before the baby decides it's the right time to come out," Kitty tried to sooth. "I mean, it's only been twelve hours! Red, you don't think something bad is going to happen do you?" Kitty started to panic.
"Now, Kitty, calm down. Jackie's a tough girl, she'll be okay. And besides, Steven's in there with her. He'll make sure nothing happens to her." Now it was Red's turn to sooth his wife.
"But, Red, Jackie's so tiny and the baby looked like it was gonna be so big. What if it kills her?" Kitty whispered so the other members of the "gang" wouldn't overhear.
"Kitty, calm down. Nothing is going to happ-" just then, they heard a scream coming from the delivery room and then a "Steven, when this is over I'm gonna kick you ass" came from within. "You tell him, Jackie," Red said, approval clearly in his voice.
In the delivery room, Jackie was resting between contractions, Steven sitting behind her rubbing her stomach, and pushing back her sweaty hair, trying to comfort her.
"Oh, God, Steven, make it stop. It hurts so bad," she whimpered.
"I know, baby. I wish I could, but we're almost there. We don't have much longer," he whispered.
"Okay, but can you tell me again why I didn't take the drugs?" she demanded.
"I'm not sure on that you, baby, but I for one thought you were crazy," he whispered back, smiling when Jackie laughed a little.
"Okay, Jackie, you've got just a few more pushes and the baby should be out," the Doctor announced. Now, on three, I want you to push as hard as you can. Okay, one, two, three, push."
With a soft scream Jackie started pushing hard with Steven whispering encouragements in her ear.
"We're almost there, Jackie. I can see its head Just one more push," the doctor exclaimed. With a loud yell this time, Jackie gave a giant push and felt the baby slip out. "Alright, you've done it. Mr. and Mrs. Hyde, you have a beautiful baby boy and he looks like he's gonna have a full head of curly hair."
"Let me see him," Jackie demanded.
"Just let me clean him up a little bit and you can have him," the doctor said before giving him to a nurse to clean up. A few minutes later, the nurse handed the baby, wrapped in a fuzzy blue blanket, to Jackie who gazed adoringly at her son. He weighs exactly ten pounds and is fifteen inches long," the nurse told them before slipping away.
"He's so beautiful, Steven, and he's ours," Jackie whispered.
"Hey, no son of mine is beautiful. He's devilishly sexy," Steven corrected, looking at his son too. He couldn't believe that this small, squishy, red, wriggling, and crying human being was his son, something that he and Jackie created together.
"Is it possible to love someone so much after just meeting them?" Jackie questioned.
"I think so, cause I already do too," Steven admitted quietly.
"Oh, Steven," Jackie whispered, starting to cry a little, "I love you so much." She leaned back and gave him a small kiss. "Now go outside and tell everyone that me and the baby are okay," she commanded.
"Yes, dear," he teased before carefully crawling out from behind her, leaned down and gave Jackie and his son a kiss on the forehead, and practically ran outside to the waiting room to share the good news.
He ran into the waiting room, startling everyone sitting there and before they could say anything he yelled, "It's a boy! He weighs ten pounds and is fifteen inches long!"
Everyone in the waiting room cheered for the new arrival. "Congratulations," and "Good job, buddy," could be heard from different people.
"Now let's just hope that this one isn't a smartass," Red grumbled.
"Oh, Red don't be silly, of course he's going to be one," Kitty teased. "After all he is Steven's son."
"Yup, and I'll never be prouder than when my son turns the remaining hairs on Red's hair grey," Steven laughed.
"I'm dying to know, what the baby's name?" Fez demanded.
Steven paused for a minute before saying, "Me and Jackie hadn't really thought about it so we have no idea. Any suggestions?" he asked. Suddenly, he was bombarded with names. "Okay, let's just move this party to Jackie's room and let her decide," he said before leading the way to the delivery room.
When he came in, Jackie was still in the bed, talking to her son. "And when you get older, you'll own your daddy's record store, but you'll never really have to work cause we're going to be really rich by then," she explained to him.
"Are you already mapping out our kid's future?" Steven demanded. "Jackie, he's not even five minutes old, calm down a little bit."
"I'm sorry, Steven. I'm just so excited," she squealed. "What are we gonna name him?" she asked.
"That's what I was just asked," he replied. "Our friends have been giving me some suggestions."
"Like what?" she asked.
"You should name him Michael, cause that's like the sexiest name in the world," Kelso was the first to say.
'No, you should name him Ronald, that a good name," Kitty suggested.
"No you should name him after me," Fez said.
"No, no, and no," Jackie and Steven said in unison.
"How about Sammy?" Donna asked.
Steven and Jackie looked at each other before nodding their consent. "That's a pretty good name," Steven said.
"Yeah, score one for me!" Donna yelled.
Jackie shook her head slightly before turning to Steven. "Steven, honey, I've been thinking about it and I think his middle name should be Red," she said.
Steven looked at her thoughtfully. "Sammy Red Hyde," he tested. "That has a nice ring to it." He turned to Red. "As long as it's okay with you."
Red looked like he was about to cry, but he held it in. "That's just fine with me," he whispered before reaching over and giving first Steven a hug and then Jackie.
"Oh, Red you're so sweet," Kitty exclaimed.
"Yeah and that never leaves this room," Red commanded.
"Yes, sir," everyone coursed together.
Steven waked over to sit next to Jackie on the hospital bed, and looked down at the new member of his family. Finally, after many years of unhappiness, he was finally happy and content, and it was all thanks to the beautiful brunette holding his son. He couldn't be any happier.
THE END
Author's Note: And that's where it ends. It could have been longer, I know but I knew that if it didn't go this way, then I'd just continue on with it and I really didn't want that to happen. I hope you enjoyed reading this fic!
