Chapter 11: Just Hold Me


The past couple of months had been wonderful for Jackie and Hyde. They were enjoying spending time together. Jackie felt free for the first time in a long time. Now that Hyde knew the truth, she could be completely open with him, and that was the greatest feeling. He had been a great source of comfort and support, and he had completely honored her wishes to take things slow. The couple would often go on sweet little dates or just spend time with Will. And now it had come time to celebrate a huge milestone in young William's life. He was turning one year old that day. Naturally, Jackie had a party planned for him that evening.

"Brooke, thanks so much for helping me set up for the party." Jackie thanked her friend.

"Of course! It's not everyday that our favorite little man has his first birthday." Brooke made a goofy face at Will, who sat in his high chair giggling.

"I'm so glad you and Michael moved back to Point Place!" Jackie exclaimed cheerfully.

Kelso had finally been reinstated at the Point Place Police Department. Brooke was in the process of opening her own book store. Surprisingly, Hyde had been a huge help. Since he owned his own store, he had great advice to give a nervous Brooke. They were sure they made the right decision in moving back. They had missed Point Place, and Point Place missed them.

"Thanks Jackie. Me too." Brooke smiled as she frosted a cupcake.

"I'm so proud of Michael being a cop again. I mean, I had never seen him work so hard for something that didn't involve sex." Jackie observed.

The taller girl giggled "Tell me about it!"

That evening the entire gang, the Formans, and Bob showed up at Jackie's place to celebrate Will's birthday. Although, it seemed as though one person was hogging all of the little boy's attention. Hyde hadn't left Will's side since he arrived. They had been playing with some of the toys Hyde purchased as a gift for him. Jackie had only allowed Hyde to give Will some presents early because he had practically bought out the entire Toys 'R' Us. Watching her two favorite men in the world play so closely together, brought a tear to her eye and the warmest feeling to her heart.

After everyone had enjoyed themselves for a few hours, Jackie decided it was time for cake. Hyde went with her to the kitchen to help her.

"So this has been a great party." Hyde kissed her cheek before grabbing the cake from the fridge.

Jackie chuckled "How would you know? You've spent the entire time with Will."

He smiled "Well, to me that is having a great time."

As Hyde began placing candles on the cake, Jackie looked out to the party. She saw Donna, Fez, and Eric laughing together. Her heart ached because she hadn't yet told them the truth. They were her family, and yet they didn't know what she had gone through. Jackie decided that they deserved to.

She cleared her throat "So, Steven…I think I'm going to tell the rest of the gang after the party." She looked up at Hyde with nervous eyes.

He stopped what he was doing and cupped Jackie's face in his hands "Are you sure?" He asked tenderly.

She smiled up at him "Yes. I'm sure."

They leaned in for a lovely kiss, releasing all the emotions they felt for each other. It was a beautiful moment until…

"Come on already! I want cake Damn it!" Fez crossed his arms and huffed at the couple.

They rolled their eyes and brought out the cake. Everyone began singing as Hyde placed the large cake in front of Will, who looked at it with a fascination in his big blue eyes. After they had sung happy birthday, Hyde and Jackie, standing on either side of Will leaned over.

"Ready to blow out your candles buddy?" Hyde smiled at the look of awe on the boy's face.

"Make a wish baby." Jackie said sweetly as she and Hyde proceeded to blow out Will's candles.

The group clapped and cheered as a mischievous expression grazed the baby's face. Will proceeded to grab a chunk of cake in his tiny hand and smear it onto Hyde's face. Everyone laughed at Hyde's shocked, frosting covered face. Will fell into a fit of laughter. Hyde smiled at him.

"Oh you think that's funny do you?" He kissed Will's cheek, getting frosting all over the little boy's face. Will just continued laughing away.

Fez sighed dreamily "Ah that is just what my face looked like last night after I licked the frosting off of my girlfriend's body."

Everyone looked at Fez in shock. Red simply grinned "What, practicing on a blow up doll again, Ali Baba?"

"No, Laurie." Fez replied without thinking.

"Oh dear." Kitty watched as her husband's infamous temper rose.

"Wow, I think someone is actually going to get Red's foot in their ass." Hyde said, enthralled by the fury in Red's eyes.

"What did you do to my Kitten?" Red shouted at the foreign man.

"Nothing I didn't do first!" Kelso exclaimed proudly.

"Michael!" Jackie and Brooke shouted in unison as they smacked him.

Red had now actually turned red. Kitty grabbed hold of him and began to lead him out.

"Okay I better get him home before he strokes out. It was a lovely party Jackie. Happy birthday, William Red!" Kitty smiled as she dragged Red out of the apartment.

"But Kitty, let me kill the foreigner!"

After they left there was an awkward silence amongst the gang.

"Fez, you and Laurie? Really?" Eric asked disgusted at any thought to do with his whorey sister.

"What can I say? She is great at taking care of my needs." Fez smiled happily.

"Yeah she was good at that." Kelso spoke, deep in thought, well as deep as Michael Kelso could get at least.

"Ugh that's it! We're leaving. And you are sleeping on the couch!" Brooke yelled angrily at her boyfriend.

"But Brooke baby…It's not like you aren't good. You're just different." Kelso whined as Brooke fumed.

Eric leaned in to whisper "Yeah man, not helping."

"Come on Betsy, let's go home."

Brooke reached out her hand to her daughter, but before taking it she ran over and placed a kiss on Will's cheek.

"Happy Birthday Will." She whispered sweetly before grabbing her mom's hand.

After Brooke, Bob, and Kelso said their goodbyes and Jackie put an exhausted Will to bed, the remainder of the gang sat in the living room talking. Jackie decided it was now or never. She breathed deep as Hyde took her hand into his, gently supporting her. She smiled at him before beginning to speak.

"So guys there is something I have to tell you, and it's not exactly easy." Jackie could barely meet their eyes.

"What's going on, Jackie?" Donna asked concernedly.

"It's okay, I'm right here." Hyde whispered softly in her ear.

"Umm…Okay here goes. When I was living in Chicago…one night a man crawled through my window, and he…" She paused momentarily "He raped me."

Her three friends sat in shock.

Fez gasped "Ai…"

Donna covered her mouth as though she were about to vomit. A muffled "Oh my god." could be heard.

Eric simply sat there with an unreadable expression plastered on his face.

"Anyway, the cops couldn't find him. He was wearing a mask so I didn't get a proper look at him. I just remember his smell. It was like an unappealing cologne mixed with stale cigarettes." She cringed as she thought of him.

Donna's eyes nearly popped out of her head "Wait. When did this happen…Oh my god, that's how you really got pregnant isn't it?"

Jackie simply nodded as Donna ran into the bathroom and purged her body of it's contents. She returned a moment later, and sat silently. They all stayed that way for a few minutes, all waiting for someone else to speak up, but it wasn't who they thought it would be.

"I could kill that motherfucker!" Eric shouted as he began pacing angrily and twitchily.

"I swear I may not be a strong man, but if I could get a hold of that son of a bitch, I would chop his dick off the way Obi-Wan Kenobi chopped that guy's arm off in the bar!"

Everyone sat and watched Eric in shock as he continued his rampage.

"I mean, how could someone do that to an angel like Jackie?" Eric asked perplexed.

"Hold the phone. Don't you mean angel of death, or something equally lame like that?" Jackie asked, stunned by his behavior.

Eric sighed. He kneeled down in front of a sitting Jackie and looked in her eyes. "No I just mean angel, Jackie. That is what you are. Look, I know we tease each other, and I love that. It's fun." He paused as they both smiled.

"But I think you're amazing Jackie. The way you are with Will, especially given the circumstances of his conception, you are incredible. But I especially love you for what you have done for my brother."

It was at this that Hyde perked up in shock. Eric simply looked at him and smiled before continuing.

"Before you came along, I was afraid that he would never find happiness, but now I look at him, and I know he has. You have finally given him what he has always needed, and for that, I think you are amazing."

Jackie looked down at Eric as she smiled through her tears "Oh Eric, thank you!" She pulled him up and into a hug.

He smiled and hugged her back "You're welcome Vader." She laughed as they pulled apart.

Donna was on the verge of tears, and as Jackie returned to her seat Donna broke down.

"Oh Jackie, I'm so sorry!" She burst into tears as she ran over an hugged Jackie's bottom half, placing her head on her right thigh.

"I have been such a bad friend to you, that you couldn't tell me about this when it happened. I am a horrible person." Donna cried frantically. No one had ever seen her this emotional.

"Oh Donna, that's not true. I have wanted to tell you every day." Jackie ran her hands through Donna's firry red locks, as Donna's tear storm continued.

With that the emotions became too much for Fez to bare.

"Ai my poor goddess." He shouted through his tears, launching himself at Jackie, placing his head on her other thigh.

She continued stroking both Fez and Donna's hair "Oh Fezzy"

The three "ladies" in the room continued their tearful embrace for what seemed like hours. Finally everyone said their goodbyes. As Eric was walking out the door Hyde called out to him.

"Forman man, wait up." He ran up to Eric and stammered nervously "Listen man, I just wanted to thank you…you know for what you said."

Eric smiled "No problem man."

Hyde cleared his throat "Uh did you mean that thing you said…about us being brothers?"

Eric patted him on the shoulder "Of course."

Hyde nodded casually "Yeah. I uh…feel the same way or whatever."

"I know man. I know. Now go take care of the devil." Eric grinned.

"I thought you called her an angel?" Hyde asked confused.

"Well, the devil was an angel too you know." Eric simply chuckled as he left.


Hyde helped Jackie clean up, and as he grabbed his coat, she took hold of his arm.

"Steven…" She spoke nervously.

Hyde eyed her confused "What is it, Jacks?"

"Do you want to stay? Just to sleep…with me?" She asked shyly.

He smiled "There's nothing I'd like more."

They got ready for bed. Hyde was in his t-shirt and boxers, and Jackie came out of the bathroom wearing his Led Zeppelin shirt. He smiled up at her. She turned out the light and laid down. Hyde kept his distance. He didn't want to make her uncomfortable. Jackie scrunched up her nose in confusion before speaking.

"Steven, why are you so far away?"

"Oh I just wasn't sure…I didn't want to make you…" She cut off his rambling.

"I want you to hold me Steven. I've never slept as good as I did with your arms around me." She spoke honestly.

He smiled sweetly "Okay." He took her in his arms and they both drifted off to sleep, never remembering such a feeling of contentment in their lives.


A few days later, Hyde asked Mrs. Forman to watch Will for the night. He had a romantic date planned for Jackie, but he wouldn't tell her where they were going. As they drove peacefully in the el Camino, Jackie looked over at Hyde and smiled.

"So are you going to tell me where you're taking me?" She said with her signature pout.

"Not a chance doll, and that pout isn't going to work." He grinned. Jackie was never good with surprises.

She huffed "Fine."

He chuckled "Just relax babe." He pulled her closer to him as he drove. Finally he pulled the car over. Jackie looked out at the lake. The moonlight shimmered on the water and it took her breath away.

"The lake, Steven?"

"That's not all. Close your eyes." He smiled devilishly at her.

"What are you up to, Steven J. Hyde?" she asked curiously.

"Just close your eyes, and wait." He got out of the car "And no peeking!"

Jackie did as she was told. After what felt like millennia to Jackie, Hyde opened the passenger door and gently pulled her out.

"Okay this way. Keep 'em closed. Okay open!"

She opened her eyes and gasped at the scene before her. There was a small fire and next to it was a blanket. Lying on the blanket was a picnic basket and champagne in a bucket of ice.

"Oh Steven." Jackie placed her hand on her heart.

"It's a night picnic. I remember you saying once that a night picnic is way more romantic then a day picnic." He smiled, thinking of her crazy romantic notions.

"Aww you remembered that I said that!" She cooed.

"Well, I certainly never would have said something like that. So it had to be you." He teased.

She smacked his arm playfully and took a seat on the blanket. "This is wonderful, Steven. Thank you."

"Anything for you doll." He took a seat next to her and they began eating. Afterwards, They lay on the blanket, looking up at the stars. Jackie turned her eyes over to Hyde. She stared at him, taking in all of his beauty. It struck her hard at that moment, how amazing he was. Every little thing about him was incredible. Hyde felt her stare as he looked over at her. Without his shades, his crystal blue pools stared into her mismatched emerald and sapphire ones.

"What is it Jacks?" He asked in the single sweetest voice she had ever heard in her life.

"Steven…make love to me." She spoke softly.

Hyde fully turned his body to face her. "Are you sure?" He asked with concern.

She stroked his cheek, gently scratching at his sideburns "I'm sure baby. I want to feel you. I need to feel you. To feel your love for me."

"I need you too Jacks, but I don't want to rush you." He spoke lovingly.

She smiled "You're not rushing me. Please, please Steven, make love to me."

He smiled as he rolled over on top of her. They kissed deeply and tenderly. Hyde began placing kisses down her neck as she moaned softly in pleasure. She pulled of his shirt as he unbuttoned hers, revealing her purple bra. Hyde kissed her chest as she arched her back. He removed her bra and blouse completely. She tugged at his belt buckle, indicating that she wanted his pants off. He obliged and took them off, leaving him in nothing but boxers. He leaned over her once again and took her nipple in his mouth. She gasped in pleasure. He repeated the same treatment with the other breast. Hyde then kissed his way down her stomach as she ran her hands through his tight curls.

When his lips reached her belt buckle, he looked up at her for approval. She nodded as he unzipped her pants and pulled them off. He stared down at her in nothing but panties, in awe. She was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. He kissed up her calves and thighs before reaching her panties. He slowly and gently pulled them down, revealing the sweetest flesh in the world. He placed a long and tender kiss at the apex of her thighs as she moaned.

"Oh Steven." Her eyes fluttered shut in pleasure.

He looked up at her "Look at me Jacks."

She did and he spoke so gently she thought her heart would explode from pure happiness right then.

"I would never hurt you baby." He placed another kiss on the tender flesh between her legs.

She had tears in her eyes as she spoke "I know puddin. I know."

He placed several tiny kisses there, letting her know how sacred this place was, how sacred she was to him. He pulled his boxers off and gently laid over her. The stared into each other's eyes, conveying all the emotions between them.

"You ready?" He asked gently.

She kissed his lips softly "Yes."

Hyde entered her slowly. He wanted to show her how much he loved her, and that no matter what, she was safe with him. Once he filled her fully, he paused and looked deeply into her eyes.

"I love you." He whispered softly.

Tears ran down her exquisite face "I love you Steven."

With that he began to move, slowly thrusting into her. They both moaned out loud at the purest pleasure imaginable.

"Oh Steven." She moaned as she wrapped her legs tightly around his waist.

"God baby" He groaned at the amazing feeling of her walls encompassing him, and the feel of her naked chest against his.

"I love you so much." She whimpered through her moans.

"I…love…you…never hurt you…you're safe." He kissed every part of her face and body within range of his mouth.

The slow pace was a sweet torture. They both wanted this to last forever, but they craved more.

"Oh baby, faster." She moaned as she sucked on his neck.

Hyde sped his thrusts up as he buried his head in her neck. "Fuck Jacks." He groaned as she wrapped her legs around him, pushing him deeper and harder.

"God Steven! You're so good baby. So good." Jackie cupped his face in her hands and kissed him passionately.

"God baby you feel good." He spoke lovingly as he placed his forehead against hers.

"You're so beautiful Jacks" He kissed her tears away.

Their movements became more and more erratic and Hyde knew they wouldn't last much longer. He looked down at this woman, this beautiful, perfect woman, whom he loved with every ounce of himself. She had her eyes closed as noises of ecstasy escaped her lips.

"Look at me baby." He spoke softly, brushing the hair out of her face.

"You're my life. You're everything" He said honestly.

"You're my life too. I love you Steven…forever."

And with those words of love their orgasms rippled through their bodies. Their eyes remaining locked the whole time. They kissed passionately. Hyde attempted to pull out, but Jackie pulled him back, and like that, with him inside her, they fell asleep. Only to wake minutes later and make love again. That's how it was with them, They were in each other's bodies, minds, and souls and although, unbeknownst to them, they would face a terrible event in their very near future, their love would never break. Never end. Never die.

To be continued….
