Back at the Forman House, Hyde and Kitty were sitting at the kitchen table still eating their dinner. Kitty had gone all out on the night's meal and Hyde wouldn't have had it any other way.

"Oh Steven your life out there in California is just like a little sitcom!" Kitty said with a laugh.

Hyde had just finished telling her about his, as Kitty called them, zany co-workers. "Yeah. Too bad we don't get paid." Hyde joked and Kitty released another laugh.

"Oh Steven." Kitty said with a smile. There was a pause and silence filled the room before Kitty gave a small laugh and a small sad smile. Hyde looked over at her with abit of concern.

"Mrs. Forman?"

"You know the last time I ate dinner here was the night before Red went to the hospital." Hyde watched as his surrogate mother absent mindedly rubbed her palms on the surface of the table, with her eyes becoming misty she went on with her story. "And we were sitting here when this whole mess began, having dinner just like this. And Red started to feel some discomfort in his chest. We'll you know how paranoid I've been about him, since the heart attack, so after a little argument we went to the hospital." She took in a deep breath "Some times I wish we'd never gone. The pain had been just a little heartburn but…that was when we found out about the damn cancer."

Hyde sat in his seat wanting to go and hug her, she had always been there for him, but he had a feeling she just needed to vent some.

"This table has been so empty. I can't remember the last time all the chairs were used."

Kitty shook her head, noticing how the energy and the room had died down. "Oh, um I've got to go fix up Eric's old room for you." She said getting up off her seat.

"Uh Mrs. Forman, you really don't have to. I'll be fine sleeping on the couch in the basement…besides I'm not a big enough fan to sleep on Spiderman sheets."

Kitty laughed, "Oh Steven, don't be silly. Eric took those with him when he moved out."

Hyde smiled at the thought of his friend not being able to part with the superhero sheets, and Kitty continued to speak.

"You're sleeping upstairs. Oh!" she exclaimed stopping in her tracks, "I better do this first." She said as she bent down to get a plastic container from the lower cabinet and began to scooping the leftover pieces into it.

Hyde watched her with confusion, wondering why she had to put the leftovers away so quickly. Never looking up from her task Kitty began to explain.

"I've got to take this over to Red, it's his dinner."

"You do this every night?" he questioned.

"Well Red refuses to the hospital food, so if I don't sneak him in something he won't eat. And he needs all the strength he can get."

Hyde nodded, "Red's lucky to have you."

Kitty smiled as she walked over to Hyde.

"Well aren't you sweet?" she asked before kissing the top of his head, "You know I'm lucky to have you here too. Even if it's only for…."

Hyde met Kitty's curious stare and smirked, "As long as I need to be here." Just those eight words earned him a tight hug.

"Oh good!" It's too bad you didn't say for as long as I needed you here; otherwise I would have said forever." She let out her famous laugh and let go of her son before going back to fixing her husbands dinner.

Truth was it probably was that way. As long as Kitty needed him he would be there. Seeing her break down the little that she did, pained Steven's heart. And he knew that was nothing compared to the way she would react if something worse happened. Being back in Point Place wasn't as bad as he thought it would be and if he really had too he'd might even consider coming back. Things weren't the same as they had been when he'd left and they probably never would be….would they?
