Disclaimer: No, no I don't own this show. If only.

Alright so this is chapter 11! :) Sorry it took so long, I was planning on writing it Friday but I didn't have the time I had quizzes and test all week. Then I was going to write it Saturday (I did have of the first scene but then ended up completely redoing it) but I had started to feel sick but I'm mostly all better. On Sunday, I wrote 90 percent of it but then had to go to a family friend's house because it was Mother's Day. Thank you for all your reviews! :) Keep Reviewing!

Hyde kept his arm around Jackie, glancing at her every few moments. The gang didn't say anything; it had been just moments from the gang's panic attack and relaxation that followed seconds after.

Jackie raised an eyebrow at him. "What?" she asked. He shook his head and said nothing before turning his attention to the TV. She rolled her eyes at him and snuggled into his body. His grip on her tightened with comfort. She smiled at him and pecked him on the lips. He grinned at her. Jackie giggled and Hyde went to go sit on his chair as he noticed some of the group becoming uncomfortable on the ground. He picked up Jackie and set her down on his lap.

Eric glanced at them uneasy, Trust, he told himself. It was better than seeing Jackie and Kelso or Jackie and Fez. Trust. He looked at Donna and smiled. She noticed him immediately and kissed him on the lips.

"EW!" Kelso exclaimed.

Donna almost jumped and spoke with mild embarrassment, "Shut up, Kelso." She and Eric had been together for less than three months, although everyone had known it. She wasn't sure how long Jackie and Hyde had been together, but chances were she and Eric had probably been together longer.

"Kelso, I think if Jackie and Hyde can kiss in the basement without you yelling I think you can manage to do the same for me and Donna," Eric said with annoyance.

"The difference is that Steven and I are attractive," Jackie smirked. Hyde grinned at Jackie's words, there was always a sparkle in her eyes when she insulted people, as if she was proud of herself and at this moment he was proud of her.

"Burn!" Kelso shouted with excitement.

"We are too!" Eric defended with the only words he knew how to. Jackie shrugged as if she had said 'I don't know if that's right, big brother'.

Hyde says it for her, shrugged just like she had, "I don't how man. Me and Jackie, now we're hot." Fez and Jackie nodded in agreement, although no one had noticed Fez's perverted smile.

"You should be lucky to see us kiss," Jackie smiled. Hyde chuckled at her and kissed her softly on the lips.

"Oh I am," Fez grinned creepily, receiving a weird look from the group.

"I don't care. Me and Donna are the better couple!" Donna rolled her eyes at Eric, was he being serious? He was happy for his sister, yes, but there was no way Hyde and Jackie were a better couple than him and Donna.

"Really?" Jackie raised an eyebrow, "How so?"

"Uh…" Eric paused to think, this should have been easier. He thought for several seconds thinking of a good argument. "Well," He gave a proud grin, "we've been together longer." It was evident he was proud of himself. Donna rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, now this was getting immature.

"Me and Jackie have been doing what we're doing for a good three and a half months," Hyde smirked. Jackie looked at his smirk, oh God he looks hot. The gang's eyes widened at Jackie and Hyde. Three and a half months? It had taken that long for them to admit it?

"Three and a half months! You took that long to admit it?" Donna shouted. The couple shrugged.

"I didn't want to see Eric have a panic attack and start stuttering, I didn't want Fez to start trying to watch us make out, and I didn't want Kelso to yell at Steven and start calling me 'his'," Jackie explained.

"Well you are is mine," Kelso argued with a pout earning a punch from Hyde.

"I would not have a panic attack!" Eric attempted to defend him self once more.

"Ah, this is very true," Fez grinned creepily.

"Me and Donna have been in love since we were five!" Eric countered after realizing Jackie and Hyde had won the good-looking part and would win the longer-relationship part. Donna tried to cover her face in embarrassment.

"Me and Steven have been friends since I was three and he was four," Jackie told him with a smile.

"Yeah, but you weren't in love!"

"I don't know, I always thought he was cute," Jackie said.

Hyde frowned. "I am not cute. But you gotta admit, Jackie was a hot three-year-old." The group raised their eyes at the curly-haired man.

"Awww. Steven, you thought I was pretty!" Jackie blushed and gave him another kiss on the lips. Hyde smiled through the kiss and deepened it. Eric tried not to gag.

"Yeah, well me and Donna were in love so we won that part," Eric announced as the group rolled their eyes.

"Now, that's nine out of ten for Jackie and Hyde, they got like 75 percent," Kelso informed the group. Donna rolled his eyes at Kelso's math.

"Wait, no it's two out of three!" Eric stated, if he was losing he was losing the best way he could. Not by a landslide.

"I counted them for being hot a lot; being hot should counts a million times!" Kelso shouted with a happy grin planted on his face. Yeah, this was nice, arguing with friends over something pointless.

Jackie pulled away from Hyde and beamed. "Being pretty counts for everything." Hyde chuckled and pulled her lips back to his.

"Hey! Stop with the kissy kissy, the basement's sacred," Eric declared. They pulled away from each other and rolled their eyes.

"I'm still waiting for Red to find out. Man, it's gonna be awesome," Kelso cheered, "best ass kicking ever, here I come!" Jackie rolled her eyes while Hyde had gotten a nervous look; he covered it up with Zen within seconds. Although Jackie had noticed immediately and gave him a reassuring smile. Red wouldn't be that tough on him, he wasn't on her previous boyfriends, not that she had noticed. But then again, he knew they didn't last that long.

"Hyde, if I were you, I'd tell my dad before my mom tells him," Eric told his long-time best friend. He then spoke to the entire gang, "Man, this morning, my mom was like really happy. And it was all 'cause Jackie and Hyde are together. She wasn't that happy when me and Donna got together." The redhead gave her boyfriend a helpful smile.

Kelso shook his head, "That's cause everyone knew you two would get together, it was like, really obvious."

Donna shook her head, "And you know Eric, with Jackie and Hyde we had been hoping they would get together but we weren't sure…a lot like how we weren't sure about me and Eric!"

Hyde shook his head, "Nah man, it was obvious." Jackie, Fez, and Kelso all nodded in agreement.

Hyde walked up the stairs, slowly, hoping all the time it took would be enough for him to think of what to say. But it didn't, he had no clue what to tell Red. But would Red really be angry? Red could be a bit overprotective of his daughter, but he knew that Red had always liked him, at least more than his own son. It wasn't hard to have Red like him better than Eric and to be better liked than Kelso and Fez was a piece of cake.

He got himself to the kitchen and looked out the door, there was Red working on the Toyota. Everyone else was in the basement, he had told him he was going on a beer run but he knew that Jackie had figured out the truth.

Hyde sighed and walked out to join Red.

Red raised an eyebrow at him, "Hello Steven."

"Hey Red," he said without emotion. Zen. Red stared at the curly-haired teenager, was he just gonna stand there? Or was he going to help?

"What? Are you gonna help me with the Toyota or not?" Red questioned. He hadn't expected for one of Eric's friend to help him

"No I'm good," Hyde stated.

Red rolled his eyes. "So what? You gonna watch me work on my car? Dumbass."

Hyde shook his head, "No Red, I just…I just wanted to talk to you about something." Maybe he should've waiting for Kitty to tell Red, it would've been easier to just explain it all then tell it.

Red raised his eyebrow once more and went to get a beer. He glanced at Hyde. "You want a drink?" Red asked.

Hyde's eyes widened. "You're gonna give me a beer?" This was unexpected, Red Forman was not one to give beer to the under aged, or to really anyone.

Red rolled his eyes, "No you dumbass, I was asking about soda."

"Oh, right…Yeah, sure." Red went and pulled out a soda and threw it to Hyde who had caught it easily.

"At least you can catch," Red stated. Hyde relaxed at Red's words. "So, dumbass, what did you want to talk about?" The two of them went to the Toyota, leaning back on it casually.

Hyde sighed. "Red… I wanted to talk about…Jackie."

"Is something going on with her? Is she alright?" Red asked quickly. His eyes widened and he practically jumped at the mention of his daughter.

Hyde shook his head. "Yeah, yeah. She's fine." Red nodded calmly.

"Oh! Red I have the best news!" Kitty Forman shouted to her husband. She came outside to see Red. She had just finished the laundry and had realized she hadn't told Red! She told everyone, every relative, every family friend, but she had didn't tell Red! He should have been the first to tell. After all, he was outside it just a few steps. Hyde's eyes widened and he shook his head at her.

"Mrs. Forman, no!" No, at this moment he would have to be the one to tell Red, not Kitty. "Mrs. Forman, I'm telling him now."

Kitty frowned. "You're talking like it's a bad thing." Why was Steven acting like this? She always thought Steven had liked Jackie. She could remember Steven and Jackie chasing each other outside playing Tag. Did Steven not like Jackie? No, no. He did. Or as the kid's today said he had a 'thing' for her, yeah Kitty Forman was hip with the lingo.

Hyde shook his head at her and turned to Red. "Look, I don't know how to say this. But just… don't get mad or anything. Actually, I know you'll get mad, don't get too mad." Red raised an eyebrow. He had been watching his wife speak to Steven. What the hell were they talking about? What could be going with his daughter that would be good to Kitty but considered hard to tell him by Steven? Oh God. Red knew now.

"My God. You're dating my daughter, aren't you?" Red questioned. Hyde closed his eyes and nodded. Where was his Zen? But he had his sunglasses; no one would be able to see emotions in his eyes, anyways.

"Isn't it great, Red? Our little Jackie is with our little Steven!" Kitty made her signature laugh and jumped up and clapped.

"Great? Kitty –"

Kitty noticed Red's angry look, Oh dear Lord. "Now, Red. I have to go and start dinner. You two have fun out here!" Red stared at his wife as she ran going to the stairs that led to the basement rather than the kitchen.

He turned to the teenager. "You dumbass! Why the hell would you be dating my daughter. MY daughter! What is wrong with you?"

Hyde winced, "Red, I can explain –"

"Explain? You're dating my daughter, my little girl. Innocent Jackie. She's a little kid!"

"Red-"

"No, I'm speaking, dumbass. I should kick your ass. My foot is gonna go up your ass so far Jackie won't even want to look at you. What makes you think –"

"Red," Hyde interrupted him. Red gave him a look. "Mr. Forman, I know you're pissed and all. But you gotta let me explain this all."

"Why should I let you explain yourself?" Red asked.

Hyde winced again. "Red, Jackie's not a little girl, she's sixteen."

"That's young, you dumbass. Your Eric's friend not Jackie's," Red stated firmly.

Hyde sighed and looked at Red. "Red, you don't get it, man. I…I really like Jackie…" He paused, unsure of how to explain himself and Jackie, "She's not like other girls."

"Of course she isn't like other girls! She's got a bright mind and a good head on her shoulders." Hyde shook his head and opened his mouth once more, but Red beat him to it. "And what makes you think you deserve my daughter?"

Hyde stopped in his tracks. "Red, I think it's a little obvious I don't deserve Jackie. I'm not really sure why she evens likes me… but she does," he paused to think his words over, "at least I think she does. I never said I deserved her but as long as she wants me I'm gonna be there. As long as I can fix whatever stupid mistake I made, I'll be there."

Red's face softened at Hyde's words as he spoke about Jackie. Red opened his mouth to speak, "And when she doesn't want you anymore?"

"I'll leave her alone, I swear." And Red knew he was speaking the truth just by the way he stood there stiff as a board.

"And if you make her cry?" Red observed the man closely, this was the first time he had really threatened a boy for one of his daughters. Jackie's previous boyfriends ran as soon as Red set his glare and Laurie never had a boyfriend. She was innocent, or at least Red told himself.

"Red, if I made her cry I think it'd be obvious you'd kick my ass," Hyde told him. Red nodded in agreement, he wasn't going to let a dumbass get his daughter down. He hadn't seen Jackie cry since she was a little girl that had scraped her knee.

Red sighed and sat down on the Toyota. He turned to look at Hyde after another sip of his beer."Steven, do you know how hard it is to have a daughter?"

"Red, if I knew I don't think you would let me date Jackie," Hyde stated.

Red shook his head and continued, "You think if you tell them that boys are bad they would listen and stay far away. But they can't because it's a cycle that's been going on long before I even kicked commie ass."

Hyde frowned and took off his sunglass. "Red…"

"You remember how they were when they were little, running away from boys claiming they had some kind of thing called 'cooties'. And you pray to God it'll stay that way, but it won't." Red took a long sip of his beer while Hyde stared at the older man. "And you try to protect them from everything, thinking they'll stay with you if you protect them."

"I won't hurt her, you know. I think she got more power to hurt me than I got to hurt her. I'll protect her too," Hyde promised.

"I know you will, Steven. That's what scares me. My little girl doesn't need me anymore."

"Jackie! Jackie! Jackie!" Her mother spoke to her excitingly as she came through the basement's door.

"Mom?" Jackie asked. "Why are you going through the door, what happened to the stairs?" The group, all except Hyde who wasn't there, stared at the short mother.

"Your father and Steven are talking!" Kitty gave her signature laugh. "Maybe he's welcoming him to our family!"

"Mom, I don't think Dad would be happy that Jackie's dating Hyde," Eric told his mother.

Kitty frowned at her skinny son. "Well, why not?"

"Mom…Dad wouldn't be happy with Jackie dating anyone, he probably wants her to become a nun or something," Eric stated.

"Well if she were a nun, how would I get my grandchildren?" Kitty asked with annoyance.

"So wait, Red and Hyde are upstairs…man, I wanna see Hyde get his ass kicked!" Kelso yelled out.

Donna frowned at the moron. "Kelso, that's not a good thing…" she tried to put it into Kelso's words, "If Hyde gets his ass kicked we won't get any," she glanced at Kitty, "…oregano."

"Oregano? I got some upstairs if you want some," Kitty informed the redhead.

"No, no…it's fine, Mrs. Forman."

"Well, are we going to go upstairs or what, Jackie?" Kitty questioned her daughter.

Jackie raised her eyebrow, "Mom, I don't that's such a good idea."

"Why not?" Kitty was confused now, why didn't Jackie want to see her boyfriend and father getting along perfectly. And why did the kids think Red wouldn't be happy about Jackie having a boyfriend?

"Yeah, Jackie, Why not!" Kelso shouted. Jackie rolled her eyes at him.

"Oh you beautiful moron, Jackie wants Hyde to talk with Mr. Red alone," Fez told Kelso.

"But then we won't get to see Hyde get his ass kicked!"

Fez rolled his eyes, "That's the point." Kelso gave a pout.

"Oh…maybe they're done talking," Kitty said. Jackie shook her head and remained in Hyde's chair for a few minutes. For all she knew Steven hadn't even told Red yet.

"Just…wait a little, will you all?" Jackie said. They nodded, knowing not to push the subject with the brunette. Kitty made her way and sat nearest to her daughter and gave her a reassuring smile.

After several minutes, Jackie stood up. The group gave their full attention to her. "What?" They stared at her. "I'm just going upstairs to get a drink, that's all," she lied. Everyone saw right through her, nevertheless, they let her leave without a word. Unless one counted Kitty's cheers.

She opened the door to the driveway. They weren't talking, not a single word had been uttered in the past thirty seconds as far as she could tell. They sat on the Toyota, Steven with a soda, and Red with a beer.

She gave a smile and went to her father. "Hi dad." Red glanced at her, gave her a weak smile (the only time she had ever seen him give such a smile) and left. Jackie stared after him confusingly, and then went to Steven. She sat down on the Toyota and looked at him curiously.

"Hey," he spoke.

She grinned, "Hey." He put his arm around her and pecked her on the lips. "You gonna tell me what just happened?"

He shook his head, "Doesn't matter, doll. Everything's just fine."

"So I guess we're a real couple now, huh?"

Hyde turned his head to stare the beautiful brunette into her blue and green eyes. "It seems you're stuck with me, doll." She giggled and he kissed her hard on the lips.

Alright so that's chapter 11! I'll try not to take so long to update again. Please Review! And onto to the reviews of chapter 10!
