A few weeks later, Davey's fifth birthday arrived. The Formans were having a little party for him at the house.

Jackie and Kitty were rushing around like mad, trying to get everything situated and clean. Sure, it was a small guest list, but Kitty was always one to impress.

After hours of dusting, vacuuming, and putting up tables outside, Jackie collapsed on the couch as gently as she could. "I swear to God, I will never look at a mop the same way."

"And we had to avoid cleaners, too!" Kitty exclaimed as she joined her on the couch. "I don't want anything disturbing the baby."

"Davey!" Jackie called, and then sighed. "God, all of this, and now I can't find the kid."

Suddenly, Davey came running down the stairs. "I'm five," he announced proudly.

"I know, baby." Jackie smiled. "But not until 4:21."

"Oh." Davey looked around aimlessly. "When is everyone getting here?"

"Soon enough," Red commented, walking in through the kitchen door.

"Oh, Red. Promise me you won't have another episode this year," Kitty said.

Red snorted. "I'm not promising anything. That dumbass broke our television!"

"Honey, that was Michael," Kitty said gently.

"I know," Red said. "Thus the dumbass!"

"Somebody talking about me?" Kelso asked, walking downstairs.

Davey ran towards him. "Hi, Uncle Michael." He stood there, as if waiting for something.

"Uh... hi, Davey." Kelso stood there awkwardly, wondering what he was supposed to do.

"Do you have... to say something to me?" Davey asked.

"Um..." Kelso trailed off, breaking eye contact. "Okay, how did you find out about the rocket?" he asked roughly.

"Rocket?" Everybody in the room looked towards him.

"I meant that it's my birthday," Davey reminded him.

"Oh, yeah! Happy birthday!" Kelso shouted. "What time's the-"

Red interrupted him. "Come join me in the kitchen; I'd love to hear about this rocket."

"Aw, man." Kelso followed him into the other room.

"What time does the party start?" Davey asked, tugging on his mother's shirt.

"It starts at three, baby," Jackie said, and pulled his hands off. "Don't do that; you'll stretch the fabric."

Davey sighed and sat on the couch. "This is gonna take forever."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.

A few hours later, the party was full on, with friends and family roaming the house.

Davey was running around with a few friends, Red and Kitty were socializing with a few friends, and Eric, Donna, Jackie, Hyde, Kelso, and Fez were all sitting together in the living room.

"I can't believe he starts kindergarten in a week," Jackie said while shaking her head. "God, he'll be out of elementary before I know it."

"You'll still have that one," Donna commented, pointing to Jackie's stomach.

"Yeah, I guess." Jackie turned to Hyde. "You'd /better/ help me." He raised his eyebrows at her and turned back to the rest of the group.

"Same goes here," Donna said, pointing to Eric, who gave her a doubtful look. "I can't just count on Jackie because she'll have a baby, too. And I barely know what to expect."

"I shouldn't know what to expect," Jackie said. "I mean, I'm gonna be 24 and I'm already having my second kid."

"I'm just glad I'm not here for the whole thing this time," Kelso said.

"Oh, I know!" Fez agreed. "Jackie was such a bitch last time. Luckily, whenever we've seen her, she's been in a good mood."

"Excuse me, Fez?" Jackie asked.

"Oopsie." Fez ran out of the room.
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.

One week later...

Donna and Jackie were packing Davey up together, because it was his first day of school.

"You excited, Dave?" Donna asked, putting a backpack on his shoulders.

"I guess." He pouted a little.

"What's wrong, babe?" Jackie asked while tying one of his shoes.

"I'm scared a little." He frowned at his shoes. "Can you and Aunt Donna come with me?"

"I'm sorry, but we can't go in with you, honey," Donna said, now placing a folder in his backpack.

"We're not allowed," Jackie added, then paused. "Do you wanna take the school bus? Or should we drive you?"

"I want you guys to drive me," he said, hugging his mother and his aunt.

"Alright, honey. But everything will be okay. You can make new friends and stuff." Jackie smiled at him, ruffled his hair, and stood up. "Now we've gotta get going, babe."

Davey frowned again. "Okay." He looked around. "Where's Daddy?"

Jackie thought for a minute. "He must still be in bed. Come on, let's get him up really quick and you can say bye." She pulled him to the basement, causing Donna to shake her head. "I can't believe she's gonna try and wake Hyde up."

They went to the basement and went in Hyde's bedroom, and sure enough, he was still sleeping. Jackie let go of Davey's hand and walked over to Hyde.

"Steven," she whispered, gently placing a hand on his back. "Your son wants to tell you bye before he goes to school."

Hyde moved a little, wondering if he just heard the words he never thought he'd hear. "Mm... okay." He rolled over and sat up. "Bye, Davey," he said while ruffling his son's hair.

"Bye, Daddy," Davey said, and stopped for a second. "Nobody will make fun of me, will they?"

"Hell no." Hyde laughed. "Not my kid."

Jackie smiled. "I'll be right back," she whispered in Hyde's ear. "Bye." She kissed him and went upstairs with Davey.

She and Donna quickly went to the car with Davey and hurried up, to make sure that they weren't late.

Upon reaching the school, Jackie stared at it. "I remember when I went here," she said.

"You went here, too?" Davey asked.

"Yeah, so did I; and your daddy, Uncle Eric, Uncle Kelso, and Uncle Fez," Donna said.

"Wow." Davey looked at the school. "Now at least I'll know that you guys all went here, too."

"I know, baby." Jackie leaned over and kissed his head. "Come on, let's go in." They all started walking in.

They made it to Davey's classroom, and once Jackie signed him in, they looked at the classroom.

"Are you ready, babe?" Jackie asked him.

"For what?"

"For me and Aunt Donna to go. We have to right now."

Davey frowned, so Jackie leaned down to hug him. He didn't let go when she tried to pull back.

"Honey," Jackie paused, looking at her scared son. "It's gonna be okay. It'll be time to go home before you know it. Just remember, your bus is number 5."

"I know Mommy, I'm just-"

He was cut off by a gasp from Donna. "Jackie..." she muttered quietly. "I think... I'm pretty sure my water just broke."

"Oh my God." Jackie paused, wondering what to do. "Baby, we have to go. Aunt Donna's gonna have her baby!"

"Can I go?" he pleaded.

"I'm sorry, baby. It's your first day. I'm sorry, but we have to go!" She kissed him quickly and gave him a hug before running out with Donna.

They got to the car, and Jackie quickly started heading toward the hospital. "Wow, it's times like these when I wish they had phones that you can take anywhere," she muttered.

"It's been 37 weeks!" Donna exclaimed. "I thought it had to be forty!"

"It can be before that, too. Before 37, though, it's considered premature." Jackie stopped at a stop sign, causing Donna to panic.

"Jackie, hurry!" Donna cried, and then gasped. "What about Eric?"

"I'll call once we get there," Jackie assured her.

------------------------

Ten minutes later, Donna was set in a room, and Jackie had just called Eric. On the second ring, he picked up. "Hello?"

"Eric, it's Jackie," she said frantically. "Donna's here at the hospital. You have to get here quick, her water broke!"

"W-w-what's that?" Eric asked nervously.

"It means that the baby's coming!" Jackie yelled. "Call Steven and make sure he comes, too!"

"Okay!" Eric said, and quickly hung up.

Jackie ran to the nurse's station. A woman at the desk looked up at her. "Can I help you?"

"Um, yes. Is Kitty Forman here?" Jackie asked.

"Yeah, she's with a patient," the woman said.

"Can you please tell her when you first see her... that Jackie said that Donna's in labor? And she's in room 25B!"

"Um... sure." The nurse looked around and spotted Kitty coming out of a room.

Jackie dashed towards her. "Donna's in labor!"

"What?!" Kitty started pacing. "Where is she?"

Jackie led her to the room, where Eric was now waiting and consoling Donna.

"What do we do?" he asked frantically.

Kitty explained everything. "And make sure you don't faint, sweetie!" she added and smiled at Eric.
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.

A few hours later...

"It's a boy!" the doctor said, followed by the sounds of crying.

"Yeah, we knew that," Donna muttered, happy that it all was over with.

Eric was inspecting his hand to make sure that the bones were all still in tact. "I have a son," he said in amazement.

"I have two grandchildren!" Kitty exclaimed.

Once the baby was all cleaned up and the name certificate (A/N: ?) was filled out, everybody took turns holding the baby.

Eric took the most pride in it, mostly because Donna was nearly passed out. "Daniel, I'm your daddy," he said happily, holding the little baby, who was still crying.

Red walked over and put a hand on his son's shoulder. "I..." He trailed off in uncertainty, but then confidently raised his tone once again. "I'm proud of you, son," he said while smiling. "And... make sure that kid doesn't grow up to be a wimpy dumbass."

Eric's happy moment quickly shifted. "'Course not, Dad."

"Fatherhood... is a gift. But it comes with its own price," Red reminded, shaking a finger.

"I believe it," Eric said, then looked back at Daniel. "It's like... I've never felt... this /way/ before. It's like..."

"Pride," Red finished. "And it's no shock to me that you've never felt it before, either." He took his hand off of Eric's shoulder and walked away.

Meanwhile, Bob and Midge walked over to Donna's bedside.

"Oh, Donna," Midge gushed, "My own grandson. He's so cute!"

"Brings back memories of the day she was born." Bob sniffed while wiping his eyes with a tissue.

"I wish I could enjoy this moment a little more, you guys," Donna admitted. "But I feel like crap."

"I remember," Midge said. "It's the worst pain ever. It's like a-"

Bob cut her off. "Come on, Midgie. Let's hold Daniel."

Instantly, she forgot. "Oh, Donna. My own grandson!"

Over at the other side of the room sat Jackie and Hyde. Jackie had already held Daniel for a little while, so they had decided to sit on the ledge.

"So, that's gonna be you in a little while," Hyde said.

"Yeah. It's crazy; it seems like just yesterday I had Davey." Jackie sighed as she remembered her son. "He's probably half scared to death right now. He really didn't want me or Donna to leave."

"The kid needs to spend some time away from you," Hyde told her. "He can't be that attached forever."

"Well, maybe soon enough when the attention's not on him as much he will get... unattached." Jackie shrugged.

"What time does he even get out of school?" Hyde asked.

"At twelve thir... oh my God. Steven, what time is it?" Jackie asked frantically.

"Quarter to one."

"Damn it." Jackie ran up and said goodbye to everybody, giving Daniel a small kiss on his little head. "We'll be back after!"

Hyde followed her out. "Don't rush so much. That can't be good."

"I don't care; my son's probably home alone right now, and freaking out. He's five! He can't be home alone!" Jackie yelled, exasperated.

They made their way to the car, and quickly started driving home.

******************

Once they got back home, they found the bus just arriving.

"Thank God," said Jackie, who was out of breath.

Davey had just walked off the bus when he saw his mom and dad standing by the house. He ran up to Jackie and hugged her.

"I hate school," he said. "I hate it, really."

"Babe..." Jackie let go of him. "What's so bad about it?"

"Too many other people. I want you there."

"Okay, honey, but... listen. Aunt Donna had her baby." Jackie smiled.

"Really?" he asked excitedly, forgetting all about school. "Can we go see him?"

"That's what we were gonna do," Hyde put in.

"Let's go!" Davey ran to the car, pulling his parents with him.

Hyde started driving, and they made it back to the hospital in record time.

Davey rushed in, eager to see his new cousin.

"Where's Aunt Donna?" he asked a nurse.

She smiled at him. "Can you tell me her last name, sweetie?"

Jackie rushed up next to him. "I'm sorry," she apologized, smiling. "Donna Forman?"

"She's in 211," the nurse said.

"Thanks." Jackie smiled and walked to the room with Hyde and Davey. "We're back!"

Davey ran over. "Where's the baby?" Before anybody could say anything, he noticed Donna holding Daniel while still in bed.

"Hi, Davey." Donna grinned. "You wanna hold him?"

Davey nodded, so Hyde pulled up a chair for him, and Donna handed Davey the baby.

"He's so little!" Davey exclaimed.

"I know," Donna agreed. "That's how your brother or sister is gonna be, too."

"When is my mommy gonna have the baby?" Davey asked his aunt.

"I don't know." Donna smiled weakly. "It could be any time. But my guess is sometime next month."

"That's not long, is it?" Davey asked, looking at his cousin again.

"No, it's not," Donna said, taking Daniel from Davey again.

Davey ran over to his parents, who were talking to Kitty.

"A month?" he asked his mother.

Jackie narrowed her eyes. "What are you talking about?"

"The baby comes in about a month?"

Jackie looked surprised. "Oh! Yeah... I guess so." She smiled as Hyde rested a hand on her tummy.

"Believe it or not, I'm actually... I'm actually looking forward to this," Hyde said as he patted her belly.

Jackie smiled up at him, putting her hands over his. "Yeah, well, so am I."

Davey grinned. "Me too."
