A month later, Jackie was in Point Place for the weekend. Kitty had invited them over for dinner wanting to see Jackie because she hadn't seen her in three months. Even though she came to see Hyde often, they spent the majority of their time alone. Hyde was sitting talking to Red and Kitty when Jackie opened the door. Kitty jumped up and ran over to her pulling her straight into her arms.

"Jackie! Oh sweetie it's so good to see you!" She giggled.

"It's good to see you to Mrs. Foreman."

"Red! Red come say hi to Jackie!"

Red was standing behind Jackie and he hugged her tightly.

"It's good to see you kiddo."

"You too Mr. Foreman."

Hyde walked up behind them and pulled Jackie to him kissing her passionately.

"Hey."

"Hey." She said back.

"Oh well I am just so excited to see you! You have to come into the kitchen and help me cook dinner so you can tell me everything!"

"Kitty…why don't you let the kids talk a bit."

"Red Foreman! He sees her every weekend! He can't hog her!"

Red laughed and looked at Hyde who just smiled at them.

"Ok, come on Jackie. Let the men watch the game or something. Its girl time."

Jackie laughed and kissed Hyde once more and then walked into the kitchen. Once they got there, Kitty immediately started in on Jackie.

"So…how are you and Steven doing?"

"Were really good actually. Were finally happy."

"That's good. I never liked that whore Samantha."

Jackie laughed. "Oh…?"

"I mean seriously? Why couldn't she put some cloths on? This isn't the playboy mansion you know!"

They both laughed remembering when she had said that when Red and her had caught Jackie sleeping in Hyde's bed before she moved in with Donna.

"Where have I heard that before?" Jackie asked.

"Oh…oh I knew right then that that boy loved you."

"You did?" She asked surprised.

"Yeah…I mean I love Steven…but I know about his past with women." Jackie smiled slightly. "And for Steven to let you sleep in his bed without wanting to do more than just sleep…that would have to mean that he loved you."

Jackie smiled and nodded her head. "Yeah…yeah I guess so."

"And he was so worried about what was going to happen to you. You know since your parents were gone and all."
She smiled and Kitty continued to cook. Meanwhile in the living room…Red and Hyde were watching some TV.

"So…Steven…how are you and Jackie doing?"

"Really good actually."

"Good. Good. I'm happy for you."

"Yeah thanks."

"But you know…if you screw this up…she won't give you another chance."

"I know that."

"Steven you know I care for you like my own son…and I have respected your decisions in your life. But when you chose to stay with Sam…I wanted to badly to actually put my foot in your ass."

"I can only imagine."

"Jackie loves you son. She loves you more than anything and what you did to her…well it was downright stupid and horrible."

"Red-"

"Let me finish." Hyde swallowed hard and nodded his head to let him continue. "If you even think about leaving her, or dong anything stupid to hurt her, I'm not sure if I will forgive you for that. She deserves to be happy. And she was not happy when you were with Sam."

"I know sir…I was stupid. I love Jackie more than anything and I was scared. But I know now that she loves me and that she isn't going anywhere. And neither am I."

"Good."

Hyde smiled at Red who smiled back as Jackie and Kitty came into the room with beers for them and a few snacks. Jackie sat next to Hyde and he kissed her forehead gently. Kitty sat down in Red's chair since he was on the couch.

"So…Jackie, were so proud of you for being able to graduate early!" Kitty said.

"Yeah that's no easy feat kid." Red said.

"Thanks."

"Yeah my girls smart." He kissed her head and draped his arm around her shoulder. She just smiled at him.

"Oh Red I can't wait!"

"Wait for what Kitty?" Red asked confused.

"Well for the wedding!"

Jackie was drinking a beer and she stared choking on her beer when she heard him say that. Hyde patted her back for her.

"You ok?" Hyde asked.

"Uh…yeah…I uh…wedding?" She asked looking at Kitty.

"Oh well of course! I mean I saw Steven snooping around in the jewelry store the other day. I assumed he was looking for an engagement ring."

"What?" Jackie asked.

"I uh…huh…uh…I just…I mean…" Hyde was stammering looking between Jackie and Kitty.

"Uh oh…did I invade your personal life?"

"Yeah you did Kitty." Red said.

"Uh oh…I'm sorry. We'll uh…we'll leave you two alone."

Kitty and Red got up and left Jackie and Hyde to talk.

"Steven…?"

"I was just looking…I mean…"

"Steven I'm not ready to get married." Jackie admitted honestly.

"Oh…ok." He said confused.

"I mean I love you…but…I'm still in school and I want to get a job and save some money up before we start such a big part of our lives. And I live in Madison still…and I will live there for over a year."

"Oh I know…I was just looking. I wasn't going to ask you yet."

"Oh ok…"

"But uh…I mean…someday…would you-"

"Yes…someday I want to get married Steven."

"Oh…good. Good." It was silent for a moment. "Ok so you meant to me right?"

Jackie laughed. "Yes Steven. Of course I meant to you."

"Ok…" He smiled sheepishly at her and she laughed and kissed his cheek.

"I love you Steven."

"I love you too Jacks."

The door opened and Red and Kitty came in and Kitty was jumping up and down excitedly.

"OH RED THERE IN LOVE!"

"Oh for the love of god…" Red said rolling his eyes.

"Mrs. Foreman…Jackie and have decided that someday, we will get married. But were not quite ready for that now."

"Oh well as long as you get married I don't give a damn about when you do it! Oh Red our babies are all grown up and in love! I am so freakin old!" She started to cry and ran off up the stairs.

"Oh lord…You two might as well just go home. She'll be crying all night."

"Goodnight Red." Hyde said.

"Night kids. And stay out of trouble!" He eyed them and then went after Kitty.

"Want to go back to my apartment?" Hyde asked.

"Sure."

Jackie and Hyde made there way back to Hyde's and quickly shed their cloths and made love for awhile. Afterwards, Jackie lay in bed as Hyde got them some food and drinks. He came back to the bedroom with beer and pizza. She smiled at him and took her stuff.

"Thanks."

"Your welcome."

They ate for awhile and then Jackie smiled at Hyde.

"What?" Hyde asked taking a swig of his beer.

"You were really looking for a ring…?" Jackie asked and he groaned.

"Yes Jackie. I was looking for a ring."

"Aww…my puddin pop really loves me."

"Yep."

"And you're not mad that I said I wasn't ready to get married…?"

"No…I understand where you're coming from. Although it's just weird to here you, say that your not ready to get married."

She laughed slightly. "Yeah well it's wierd to hear you say that you are ready to ger married."

He laughed. "I guess things have changed."

"I guess they have."

She smiled at him and he eyed her suspiciously.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Come on Jackie…tell me."

She smiled slightly. "I'm just…really happy Steven. Really, really happy."

He smiled at her and kissed her passionately. "Me to babe. Me too."

"So…your birthday is coming up."

"This is true." He was kissing her neck as she continued to talk.

"So I was thinking we should do something…"

"Really? Cuz I was thinking we should do something to, but then and now."

She smiled as he continued to kiss he neck. "Steven…"

"What?"

"Steven we should have a party for you!"

"Jackie…"

"Come on Steven! It will be fun! We can get the whole gang together!"

"Jackie you know I don't like parties…"

"What if it's just the gang? And the Foreman's? And you're Dad. And Leo….and uh…am I missing someone?"

"Jackie…"

"Come on baby…it will be fun I promise. I'll bring lots of beer. It can be at my apartment…AND…I already bought two outfits for it."

"Two?" He asked annoyed.

"Yes. One for the party, you know one that everyone can see. And then one for after the party…for when it's just you and me."

He smiled happily. "Ok. We can have a party."

"I thought you'd see it my way."

He just shook his head and pushed her down on the bed again.
