Four days later, Hyde was at Groove's working and the store was packed with people. The new Rolling Stones album was out and it was in hot demand. None of the gang knew that Jackie and Hyde had kissed; they were keeping it under wraps in hopes to have some privacy. They wanted to work on their relationship alone before everyone was aware and put their two cents in. Hyde was running around the store when Fez, Maggie and Jackie entered the record store. Fez and Maggie immediately ran up to Hyde hoping to get a free copy of the record while Jackie stood back just a little. Hyde, who was frantic with the rush of people and glared at Fez and Maggie when they came up to him.

"Hello Hyde." Fez said cheerily.

"Fez. I don't really have time to talk right now…" He said ringing someone up.

"That is fine. We were just wondering if we could have a free Rolling Stone's album." He said with his sweetest smile hoping to get on Hyde's good side.

Hyde stopped what he was doing and looked up at them both angrily. "No." He said flatly.

"But Hyde-" Fez whined.

"Fez. Get in the back of the line and open your wallet. I know you make enough money. I saw your tips from the salon." He said angrily.

"Ai. Where is the fun in having a friend that owns a record store if he doesn't even give you free stuff?" He asked.

"I don't know. Now get in the back of the line." He said pointing to the end of the line.

Fez put his nose up in the air. "Fine. Come my Maggie…we shall go to the back of the line like we mean nothing." He said hugging off.

Maggie laughed. "I know you don't want to give one to Fez but-"

Hyde looked up at her and raised his eyebrow. "What?"

She smiled nervously. "Back of the line?" She asked.

He nodded his head. "Uh…yeah."

She smiled. "Right…thanks."

Maggie ran off with Fez to the back of the line and Jackie laughed at them. "I told you."

"If you went up there and asked him he would give you a free record." Fez said rolling his eyes.

Maggie laughed. "That's because he loves her."

"Shut up." Jackie said blushing.

Fez smiled wickedly. "Do I detect a blush from Ms. Burkhart?" He asked.

She straitened out, her heart pounding slightly. "What? No…no." She said shaking her head.

"Oh my God…" Fez said taking step back.

"What?" Jackie said.

"Something happened between you and Hyde." He said pointing an accusing finger at her and smiling giddily.

Jackie pushed him on the shoulder. "Nothing happened Fez."

"You are such a bad liar." Maggie laughed.

"Nothing happened!" She yelled.

"Do you swear on all your ABBA albums?" Fez asked honestly.

Jackie gasped and put a hand to her face. "Fez…that is just-"

"So you don't swear on your ABBA albums?" Fez said knowing he was close to getting the information out of her.

Jackie stuttered slowly. "No…yes…I…I swear…I swear…" She took a deep breathe and Fez was waiting…holding his breathe. "I swear…" She stopped. "Damn it I can't do it!" She said hanging her head in shame.

"I knew it!" Fez said jumping up and down.

"Shhhh." Jackie said glancing in Hyde's direction to see if he was listening but he wasn't. "Don't let Steven hear you…"

"Why?" Fez asked. "I figured you would want to be shouting from the rooftops that you and Hyde were in love and together
again."

She sighed. "No…not this time."

Maggie looked at Jackie and put a hand on her shoulder. "Jackie…are you alright?"

Jackie smiled. "Yeah…I'm fine. I mean…we're just trying to take it slow. We don't want everyone knowing right now…so I would really appreciate it if you two wouldn't say anything." She said pleadingly.

"Jackie…you know how I feel about secrets." Fez said.

Jackie reached out to him. "Fez…please. We just…we really need this time. Please…besides it was just one kiss." She said shrugging her shoulders.

Fez raised his eyebrow at him. "Just one kiss?" He asked not believing her story.

Jackie smiled. "One…really…hot, steamy, passionate kiss."

Fez laughed. "You dog!"

Jackie laughed and hit him playfully. "Fez! Stop…" She blushed.

He smiled at her. "It's good to see you smile again…"

She looked up at him and smiled softly. "It's good to be able to smile again…"

He took a deep breathe and put a hand on her shoulder. "I won't tell anyone…"

She smiled and nodded her head. "Thank you Fez…"

"As long as you promise to tell me every single detail of your relationship." He said honestly.

Jackie laughed. "Of course Fez. Every detail."

He smiled and pulled her in for a hug. "Good. Now…we are going to buy our albums and then we're going to the Hub. You want to come?"

She shrugged. "No…that's alright. I think I'll just hang out here for awhile."

"Ok. Should I tell Hyde you are here?" He asked.

She smiled at Hyde who was busy at work. "No…he'll see me eventually. He's really busy now anyway. I don't want to distract him.

"And distract him you will." Maggie said smiling at her, Jackie laughed.

Fez smiled. "Alright. I'll see you back home then?" He asked.

She nodded. "Yeah. I'll see you back home."

"Bye." Maggie and he said waving at her.

She smiled and waved back at them. "Bye."

Jackie went over to the couch and sat down on the couch and picked up a magazine and casually flipped through it hoping it would die down soon. Maggie and Fez walked up to the counter and smiled at Hyde and he just groaned.

"Don't even open your mouth if you don't have any money." Hyde said.

"No. We have money." Fez said. "Two copies of the Stones please. I am buying one for my lady love…because that is what a good boyfriend does."

Maggie smiled and kissed his cheek. "Oh you are just so sweet Fez. Thank you."

"No problem. Of course I expect you to re-pay me. And when I say re-pay me I mean sexually." He said honestly.

Maggie laughed. "Oh you are just so funny!" She said slapping him.

Fez laughed. "Yes. Yes I am." Then he stopped. "Wait…I was being serious."

"What?" Maggie asked.

Hyde groaned. "Ok…I don't have time for this. And I only have one copy left." He said holding it out to them.

Fez frowned. "Ok…first you wouldn't give us a free copy. And now you don't save one for us!" He yelled.

Hyde shrugged. "Sorry man. You should have gotten in line sooner."

"Well this is just outrageous. Good day." Fez said turning away from him.

"But Fez-" Hyde said.

"I said good day!" Fez said turning away from him.

Hyde just shook his head but noticed Maggie still standing in front of him smiling. "What?" He asked.

She smiled. "Don't work to hard…there's someone waiting for you."

He looked at her confused. "What? Who?"

She shrugged. "I'm just the messenger." She dropped her money on the counter and took the record.

Hyde watched her walk away and looked around the store where people were slowly filing out. Hyde scanned the room for a familiar face trying to figure out what Maggie had been talking about and he suddenly stopped when he saw her. She was sitting peacefully on the couch flipping through a music magazine and tapping her feet to the beat of the music that was playing. Her presence mad his heart flutter and his skin feel like it was on fire. He stood up to go over to her when a customer came to the counter.

"Excuse me sir? Can you please ring me up?" He asked.

Hyde snapped out of his 'Jackie daze' and stared at the man. "Oh yeah…sorry."

"Thank you." The man said impatiently.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw a guy approach Jackie and sit down next to her. She smiled politely at him and he placed a hand on her knee. He clenched his jaw and tried to fight the urge to run over and punch the guy in the face. But the customer interrupted him again.

"Excuse me?" He asked.

Hyde looked at him again. "Sir…I'm sorry." He rang him up and handed him the album. "Have a great day."

Hyde's heart skipped two beats as he made his way over to Jackie and this new intruder. As he approached them he head Jackie's polite laughter…the one she tried to use when something wasn't very funny. Then he heard the guy compliment her.

"Has anyone told you that you should be a model?" He said closing in on her.

She moved away slowly. "Well…thank you." She whispered.

"Can I have your phone number?" He asked winking at her.

She rolled her eyes. "Um…no…" She smiled politely.

"Alright…I guess a pretty girl like you is out of my league anyway." He said nodding his head and standing up. "Goodbye pretty girl."

She smiled at him. "Bye." She went back to reading her magazine and Hyde stepped up to her whispering in her ear.

"Guess you don't need a knight in shining armor to save you from the big bad loser." He whispered in her ear.

His hot breathe sent shivers down her spine and she smiled. "Guess not. Besides…I don't think there are many of those In Point Place."

He laughed. "Smart ass."

She giggled and looked back at him. "I suppose I am."

He smiled at her. "Hi."

She smiled back. "Hi."

"Why didn't you come say hi before?" He asked.

She shrugged. "You looked busy."

He smiled and leaned forward to plant a kiss on her forehead. "I'm never to busy to see you." He said.

She smiled and nodded her head. "Good to know."

"So…how are you?" He asked.

She shrugged. "Can't complain."

"Good."

"You?" She said cocking her head and smiling at him the way she knew drove him insane.

He smiled at her beautiful face. "I'm good."

"Work was busy today huh?" She said looking around the destroyed store.

He sighed. "You have no idea. There was a line of people out there before I even got here." He said looking around.

"Awww…poor Steven." She said rubbing his shoulder and then felt how tense he was. "Steven…" She said sincerely.

"What?" He asked.

"You're so tense…" She said rubbing his shoulder some more.

"Damn…that feels good." He said groaning.

She smiled. "What time do you close?" She asked.

He looked down at his watch. "Ten more minutes."

She smiled at him and stopped rubbing his shoulders earning a sad groan to come from his mouth. "Tell you what…when you've closed up…I'll give you a massage to relieve your stress ok? And right now…I'll go get you some dinner."

He smiled at her. "You would do that for me?"

She smiled. "Sure."

He stood up and just stared at her. "What did I do to deserve you?"

She laughed and picked up her purse. "You just got lucky I guess." She said winking at him before exiting the record store.

Hyde smiled as he watched her go. "Damn I love that girl."


Jackie pulled up to the Hub and walked in and found Fez and Maggie eating with Donna and Eric at a table. She smiled at them and walked over to them.

"Hey guys." She said putting her purse on the table.

"Hey Jackie. Where's Hyde?" Fez said winking at her.

She threw him a threatening glance. "He's at the store." She said pulling out her wallet.

"Are you gonna eat with us?" Eric asked.

Jackie looked up. "Actually…no. I'm just going to get some take-out and go…somewhere." She said flailing her hands.

"Grooves." Fez coughed and both Maggie and Jackie kicked him under the table electing groan from Fez. "Ai!"

"Are we missing something?" Eric asked.

"Nope." Jackie said quickly.

"Actually while you're here Jackie…wanna come to the bathroom with me?" Donna asked.

Jackie saw the look in her eyes and nodded. "Yeah sure."

Donna smiled and kissed Eric's cheek as she and Jackie made their way to the bathroom in the Hub. Jackie leaned up against the wall and waited for Donna to say something. She watched Donna wash her hands and splash some cold water on her face. Then she turned around slowly and took a deep breathe.

"I took the test." She said.

Jackie breathed in and nodded her head. "And?"

Donna nodded her head. "I'm pregnant."

Jackie smiled. "Oh…Donna." She went over to Donna as a few tears fell from her face and she pulled her in for a hug.
"Congratulations." She pulled away. "You're happy right?" She asked.

Donna sighed. "Well yeah…I am. I think it will be fun to have a kid…but I'm just nervous about throw Eric will react."

Jackie smiled. "Donna…Eric loves you. And he will love this baby too. I know it."

Donna nodded. "You really think so?"

"Yeah. You should tell him…" She nudged her.

"Actually…I think I'm going to wait until after the wedding. It's only a week away. There is just so much other stuff going on I can't tell him now. I had enough trouble getting him to the aisle last time…I don't want to send him running for the hills again." She laughed.

Jackie smiled. "He won't run again…he's ready now."

"I know." She smiled. "But…I'm just going to wait. So you won't tell anyone right?"

Jackie nodded her head. "Your secret is safe with me." She said honestly.

"Good. Well…I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Will you go with me?" She asked nervously.

Jackie smiled. "I would love too."

Donna pulled her in for a hug. "Thank you Jackie."

She smiled. "No problem."

"And just so you know…you are a shoe in for God mother." She said smiling at her.

Jackie giggled. "Duh. Who else would it have been?"

Donna laughed. "Let's go."

The girls walked back to the Hub and Jackie ordered her food before saying goodbye to her friends.


Jackie got in her car and made her way back to Groove's and knocked on the door since he was closed. He looked up from counting his money and smiled at her before making his way to her and opening the door. She held up the bags of good.

"Hungry?" She asked.

He smiled. "Starved."

"Great." She walked in and set the food down on the table near the couch as he turned on the new Rolling Stones album.

"Cheeseburger and fries for me…two hot dogs and extra chili fries for you. Right?" She asked him.

"You remembered." He smiled at her.

She smiled back. "Of course I did."

He sat down next to her on the couch as she put the food in front of him throwing him a sweet smile that melted his heart. As she was preparing their dinner he just couldn't seem to take his eyes off of her. A few days ago he would never have thought they would be at this place together. They weren't officially dating but they were slowly but surely building a stronger relationship than they ever had. Jackie caught him staring and she smiled at him.

"What?" She asked.

He shook his head. "Nothing…just…got caught up there."

She nudged him with her elbow and smirked at him. "Caught up in how beautiful I am?"

He laughed slightly. "Actually…yes."

Her face flushed with embarrassment and she tried to play it cool. "Well of course you did." She smoothed out her skirt and looked down shyly. "I am very beautiful."

Hyde smiled at her innocence and took her hand and kissed it. "Jackie…you don't even understand how beautiful you are."

She quickly glanced at him with a shocked look on her face from his sweet comment and she blushed. "Well…thank you Steven."

He smiled. "Of course."

She snapped out of her Hyde daze and picked up her glass. "Here. Eat. You worked hard today you must be starving."

He laughed at her nervousness and nodded his head. "Ok."

They ate in silence for a few moments until Hyde picked up a rather messy bunch of fries and brought it towards Jackie. "What are you doing?" She asked.

"You always ate some of my chili fries. Here." He said trying not to drop them.

Jackie laughed. "Steven!" She whined. "You're gonna drop them all over my pretty new outfit." She said pushing him away.

He laughed. "I won't if you just let me feed them to you."

Jackie glared at him. "Steven I hate you."

"Jackie…you love me." He said sternly holding the fries over her again.

"Steven…" She warned him but when she saw them coming at her again she opened her mouth and he put them in laughing at her trying to eat the mess.

"Well that was graceful." He laughed.

When she was done chewing she slapped him on the arm. "Steven…"

He laughed. "What? Weren't the good?"

She laughed. "You're lucky they didn't fall on my outfit. You would have been buying me a new one."

He laughed. "In you're dreams princess."

She glared at him. "Don't call me that."

His smile faded slightly. "Sorry…I-"

"I just don't like it when people say that…its offensive. I'm trying…I…" She stopped and sighed and he felt bad for her.

"No…I didn't mean to upset you. I'm sorry…I won't say it again. And you have changed Jackie…really you have." He said honestly.

She smiled. "Thank you…"

"Yeah…so…I'm done eating. How about you?" He asked.

"Yeah…I'm good." She said cleaning up her stuff.

Hyde picked up their trash and threw it away before sitting down next to her. "So…what's up?" He asked.

She shrugged. "Nothing much. But…um…actually…there's something you should know."

He cocked his head at her. "Ok? What is it?"

"Fez knows." She said flatly.

He laughed. "I was figuring Donna…but Fez was second on the list."

She smiled. "I didn't tell him…he just sort of figured it out. I'm sorry…"

He frowned at her. "You have nothing to be sorry about." He said taking her hand.

"I know…but we decided no to tell anyone…and he promised not to tell anyone…well Maggie knows too but I-"

Hyde put a finger to her lips. "Jackie…slow down. It's alright…it's not that I didn't want people to know…I just thought that it would be easier for us to figure this all out without everyone else interfering."

She smiled weakly. "So you're not mad at me?"

He shook his head. "Of course not."

She smiled and sighed with relief. "Ok. Good. I was worried there." She said leaning against the back of the couch.

He turned to look at her and smiled. "You shouldn't have been…"

She smiled up at him. "Ok."

"God Jackie…" He whispered.

She knew he wanted to kiss her. The only kiss they had shared was the one after the Prom and she had been too nervous to kiss him again. She figured she had tortured him enough so she took his hand and rubbed it encouragingly. He took the hint and leaned down slowly and hovered just above her lips.

"Jackie are you sure…" He whispered.

She smiled. "Steven."

"Yeah?" He asked.

She smirked at him. "Shut your pie hole."

He laughed as his lips descended on hers slowly at first so they could just get the taste of each other. But soon Hyde needed more; he cupped her face with his hands and hungrily tried to taste her. His tongue traced the outline of her lips hoping to gain access to her mouth which she slowly but surely granted. He moaned when he felt her tongue against his. He repositioned himself so he could lay her down on the couch and he could hover over her. At first, Jackie's heart sped up and she told herself not to let him do it but his kisses were making her delirious and she had missed this just to damn much. One hand of his went over her head to hold him up and his other held her face. Her hands found his hips and she clung to him like she was holding on for dear life. Hyde pulled away from her mouth and positioned his kisses on her face and then lowered them to her neck. The sucking and nibbling was driving her insane but soon she felt a familiar tug at her heart.

"Steven…" She whispered out of breathe.

He mumbled against her hot skin. "Jackie…"

"Steven…please. Just…can we stop?" She asked nervously.

He heard the intensity in her voice and knew he was taking it too far so he pulled back and looked at her. Tears watering in her eyes, lips shaking slightly, she looked terrified and it broke his heart. "Jackie…" He whispered.

"I'm sorry…I just…this is too much. It's to fast for me…" She said pushing him away slightly and standing up.

He sighed and bowed his head cursing himself for going to far and to fast knowing she wouldn't want that. "I'm sorry…" He whispered. "I shouldn't have gone that far."

"I…Steven it's not that I don't want you…I do." She laughed. "Damn it I really do…"

He laughed. "Jackie…its ok."

"No…I don't want to be the girl who leads you on and makes you think she wants it and then pushes you away. I just…I don't think we're there yet." She begged hoping he understood what she was saying.

He smiled at her and took a gentle step towards her. "Jackie…its ok. Really…it is. I know we're not ready for that either." Tears welled up in her eyes again he kissed her forehead. "Please don't cry."

She laughed as she tears fell. "I'm sorry…its just you are being so good to me. And I can't even give you what you want."
He laughed. "Babe…you are giving me what I want."

"Yeah?" She asked unsure of herself.

"Yeah…you." He said kissing her softly.

"But Steven-" She said.

"Jackie we don't need to have hot make out sessions or sleep together…we just need to be together. That is what I want…as long as I can be with you…then I'm happy." He said sincerely to her.

She smiled and then put her head down. "Stop doing that." She laughed.

He laughed. "Stop doing what? Being nice? Being sincere? Being sexy?" He asked.

She slapped him. "Steven! You are making this very hard for me to not jump you right now." She said blushing.

He laughed. "What can I do? I'm just a naturally sexy suave man."

She laughed. "Yes…well…I should get going home."

He frowned. "Really?"

She sighed. "Yeah…it's getting late…I…I'll see you tomorrow ok?" She asked.

He smiled. "Promise?"

She smiled and leaned up to kiss him. "Promise."

"Good." He watched her gather her stuff and he went behind the counter and pulled out a record. "Here. This is for you."

She frowned. "I thought you told Fez you only had one copy left." She said taking it.

"So I lied." He said shrugging his shoulders. "I saved one for me and one for you."

She smiled and reached for her wallet. "Well thank you Steven."

"What are you doing?" He asked pointing to the wallet.

She looked at him strangely. "Well I have to pay for it."

He laughed. "It's on me." He said kissing her one last time.

She smiled up at him. "Well thank you Steven."

"No problem. Call me here when you get home alright?" He asked.

She smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Are you worried about me?" She asked.

He blushed. "Maybe."

She smiled and kissed him again. "Well…it's sweet. Goodnight Steven."

He smiled and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight Jacks. Oh and hey…listen to the seventh track…I think you'll like it."

She smiled and waved at the door. "Ok. Bye."

He watched her walk away and smiled to himself. "Oh I am in so deep…


When Jackie got back to her apartment she picked up the phone and made a quick phone call to Hyde to let him know she was safe and sound and then popped the record on the player causing Fez to come out of his room.

"What is that?" He pointed an accusing finger at the record player.

She smiled. "Steven gave it to me."

Fez scoffed. "Oh that is just not fair. What do I have to do to get a copy? Make out with him."She glared at him. "Shut up. And no. He was just being nice and gave it to me ok?"Fez laughed. "Yes. Because he looooves you!"

She slapped him. "Shut up."

"What song is this?" Fez asked.

"I don't know…Steven told me to listen to it." She shrugged slowly listen to the words of The Rolling Stones song "Emotional Rescue.".

Is there nothing I can say

Nothing I can do

To change your mind

I'm so in love with you

You're too deep in

You can't get out

You're just a poor girl in a rich man's house

She smiled as she realized the words told their unsung story. "Oh Steven…"

Fez laughed. "Oh you two are getting married."

Jackie's eyes bugged and she clapped excitedly. "You really think so?"

Fez snapped his fingers. "Oh hell yes. No one else could love you the way he does…or handle your insane behavior."

That earned him a pinch. "Shut up."

"Ow. That hurt." He said rubbing his shoulder.

"Just go to bed Fez…I have to listen to this song for my Steven." She said happily.

"I thought this was a casual thing?" He asked her.

She smiled nervously. "It is…"

Fez laughed. "Sounds more like the beginning of a beautiful relationship from hell. Goodnight Jackie."

Fez walked back to his room and Jackie just rolled her eyes and continued to listen to the words of the song.

Yeah, I was dreaming last night

Last night, I was dreaming

How you'd be mine, but I was crying

Like a child, yeah, I was crying

Crying like a child

You will be mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, all mine

You could be mine, could be mine, could be mine, all mine

I come to you, so silent in the night

So stealthy, so animal quiet

I'll be your savior, steadfast and true

I'll come to your emotional rescue

I'll come to your emotional rescue

She smiled thinking of how much Hyde had changed since they got together this time. He was more mature, more willing to talk and respect her decisions. He didn't need sexual favors to get him to do things, he just needed her. Just as much as she needed him. And that…was a very good thing. He was her knight in shining armor.

Yeah, you should be mine, mine, Ooo

Mmm, yes, you could be mine

Tonight and every night

I will be your knight in shining armor coming to your emotional rescue

You will be mine, you will be mine, all mine

You will be mine, you will be mine, all mine

I will be your knight in shining armor

Riding across the desert on a fine Arab charger
