A/N: I know it's been ages since I updated. I'm SO sorry about that. I've been very busy with work and I just haven't had that much spare time.

Hyde looked out of Eric's room just in time to see Jackie rear back and punch his wife full on in the face. His jaw dropped in amazement and he tilted his head to get a better view but he was blocked from seeing much by a slew of doctors and nurses that were trying to break up the fray.

"Hey, Hyde? Anytime now…"

Hyde turned his head back into the room and glanced at Eric. "Sorry, you would not believe what is going on outside, I asked Jackie for a distraction and she punched my wife." He exclaimed astonishingly.

Eric rolled his eyes and tried to quell his sense of urgency. "It's about damn time. I'm sorry but I always though Jackie was the devil, turns out I was wrong, she's like a tame kitten next to your wife. Now can we go before Jackie's valiant plan is ruined?"

Hyde took one more glance into the waiting room and saw that the commotion Jackie had created was in its ending stages. "Okay, let's go." He walked around Eric and pushed his wheelchair as quietly as he could out of the room and around the corner to Donna's room.

He stopped the wheelchair at the door and sighed. "Eric, I haven't seen her so I don't know… just be prepared for anything okay?"

"She's my wife Hyde; I don't care what she looks like." Eric muttered angrily.

"That's not what I'm saying you moron. I'm just trying to warn you about her condition." Hyde uttered.

Eric sighed. "I know I'm sorry, I just need to see her now."

Hyde pushed Eric's wheelchair into the room and shut the door behind him. He could hear Bob crying from where he sat next to Donna's bed. Hyde thought to himself if he didn't turn around and actually see Donna then maybe he could pretend this wasn't happening. He knew that was pure foolishness. He braced himself with a deep breath and turned around.

"Oh my God." The words left his mouth before he had a chance to stop them. Donna was hooked up to dozens of machines. She had gauze all around her head and she was extremely pale. From his viewpoint it looked like it would take a miracle for her to get through this. Hyde glanced over at Bob and grimaced at the image that confronted him. The man looked far older than he was. He almost looked worse then Donna did. He probably hadn't bathed or eaten in over 48 hours. Hyde walked over to Eric's wheelchair and pushed him closer to the bed. He crouched down in front of Bob and shook his knee.

"Bob?"

Hyde watched as Bob's eyes focused. "Yea?" Bob uttered between sobs.

Hyde swallowed roughly. "Bob, lets get you to the cafeteria, you need to get something to eat. If you get sick you aren't going to be any good to Donna. The Foreman's are here so you can talk to them and…"

"Red is here?" Bob exclaimed.

"Yes, Red is here and I think Eric could use some time alone with Donna so.."

Hyde saw Bob look past his shoulder and watched his eyes focus on Eric. "I didn't even realize he was here. You're probably right. I'll just go and sit with Red." Bob lifted himself out of the chair and hesitated looking down at Donna. He sighed and turned towards the door and silently left the room.

Hyde stood up and turned to Eric. "Eric, I'm sure she's not as bad as she looks. The doctors told Jackie that she was getting better…" Hyde searched for comforting words to help his friend by nothing would come to mind. Everything he thought of was just empty platitudes and Eric didn't need that.

"Just please leave me alone with her. I need to..." Eric whispered as he reached his hand towards Donna's sleeping form.

Hyde nodded his head. "Alright, take all the time you need. I'll be in the waiting room." With that Hyde turned and exited the room.

"Damn Jackie, that was awesome!" Kelso exclaimed as he shifted in his seat to change the position of the ice pack he was holding against Jackie's right eye.

Jackie smirked at Michael's words and then grimaced, she could feel her face swelling up and she had to say that while she was pleased Hyde had been able to get Eric in to see Donna, she was not at all pleased with the circumstances that made that possible. She had no idea that Diana could hit so damn hard. If the bitch hadn't slapped her then this wouldn't have even happened. All she wanted to do was get her yelling loud enough to cause a distraction. Jackie sighed and glanced around the room through her good eye. Diana was in the other corner with security guards surrounding her, little miss bitch was trying to talk her away out of getting arrested. Jackie glanced up and saw Hyde stride into the room. He looked over at Jackie and she saw his eyes darken. He tensed his jaw and headed towards Diana and hospital security.

Jackie leaned over to try and hear what he was saying.

"Excuse me, I don't know what happened here but this is my wife and I'm sure it's innocent. She didn't mean any harm. Can we just forget this happened?" He asked the security guards.

Jackie saw one of the guards turn towards Steven. "Sir, your wife and Mrs. Burkhardt had an altercation in a hospital! If it hadn't been for Mrs. Foreman I would have ejected both of them immediately. This is not something that we can just swipe under the rug."

Hyde sighed and rubbed his temples. Great, he though to himself this is just what he needed to be plastered all over the papers tomorrow. He reached for his wallet and grabbed some hundred dollar bills. "Look I'm sorry. It will not happen again. Please take this." He said as he shoved the money towards the man. "And accept my apologies."

The security officer pursed his lips and nodded. "Alright, just see that it doesn't." He stated as he pushed the money into his pocket. "Guys let's go." He gestured to the two other officers. They followed him out of the waiting room with perplexed looks on their faces.

Hyde set his jaw and sat down turning towards Diana. "Are you stark raving mad? What the hell would prompt you to hit someone in a hospital? Have you lost what little mind you have? Do you have any idea of the damage you could have done to my reputation, let alone to do that in front of all my friends?" He shouted.

"Steven, honey... I didn't mean to do anything. You should have heard what she said to me! She called me all sorts of names and I just had to defend myself. It was horrible." Diana sobbed through a split lip.

Hyde watched her peek an eye open and he shuddered at the thought of how he had allowed this manipulative bitch into his life. "Cut the bullshit Diana. If she did say something I'm sure it was the truth. Look, you need to leave." Hyde uttered through a tensed jaw.

"Wait, Steven please…" Diana implored.

Hyde stood up. "No, Diana. It's not going to work anymore. Jackie opened my eyes to something tonight. You are probably the worst thing that ever happened to me. I want you out of this waiting room and out of my life."

"Steven! You can't mean that." Diana exclaimed.

Hyde thought he saw real tears falling out of her eyes this time. "I know, the loss of all my money is enough to make anyone cry but cut the theatrics Diana. I'll be talking to my lawyer about a divorce. Now you can either hand over those shares to Zen music or I'll make sure you never get a damn dime of alimony."

Diana narrowed her eyes and jumped up all traces of tears gone. "Oh please Steven. Your threats are hollow. I don't need your alimony. I have those shares you so stupidly handed over. I'm sure I'll make a pretty penny from those." She grinned.

Hyde lifted an eyebrow. "Really, you think so? Well you're probably right but how does jail time sound to you?"

"What are you babbling about you idiot?"

"Well Diana of course I would keep track of my darling wife, it seems she has a new boy toy who is only 17. In my book that is statutory rape and last I checked that was against the law. If that wasn't bad enough it seems my lovely innocent wife has developed quite a heroin addiction. I'm sure the police would love to hear about that." Hyde smirked at the look on Diana's face.

"That's simply not true; I don't know where you got that information. Even if it were true you have no proof!"

"Really?" Hyde scoffed. "Diana don't be so naïve, I've had a private investigator trailing you for two years. You finally slipped up enough and now your ass is mine. So what's it going to be? Hand over the shares and live comfortably for life or keep them and spend some time in the big house?"

Diana's shoulders slumped. "Fine, you win. I'll sign them over to you and you'll keep your trap shut about all of this?"

Hyde smiled. "Of course, dear."

Diana nodded. "I'll see you in court about that alimony."

"I'm looking forward too it." Hyde exclaimed as he watched Diana pick up her purse and limp out of the room.
