So this is kind of a short chapter. But its kind of just a lead up to many chapters to come. Read and find out what will happen. :D Then REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!

By September, the Hyde family was in the groove of how to mange their time together. Hyde worked everyday except Saturday and Sunday. The weekends we're family time and they did practically everything together. They had also learned how to balance time between both children so neither of them felt left out. But each Monday morning, Jackie took Mia out for their special day and Kitty watched Aiden. And every Saturday afternoon Hyde took Mia to the park. One Friday, Jackie was downstairs feeding the children when Hyde came downstairs dressed and ready for work.

"Morning." Hyde said dropping a kiss on Jackie's forehead.

"Morning sweetie. There is coffee in the pot and some eggs in the pan for you." She whispered.

Hyde smiled and kissed her cheek. "Thanks babe. How are the munchkins this morning?" He asked.

"Mornin Dadda." Mia said as Jackie fed her some food.

Hyde laughed. "Morning munchkin."

"Work?" She asked.

Hyde nodded. "Yes baby. I have to go to work."

"Park?" She asked.

"Yes. We're going to go to the Park tomorrow." He said.

Mia clapped her little hands together. "Yay!"

Hyde smiled and dropped a kiss on top of her little head. He put his breakfast on the table and then turned to Aiden's seat that was propped up on the table.

"Morning little man." He said rubbing his stomach.

Aiden just stared up at his father, wide eyed like always not wanting to miss a thing. Jackie laughed. "He really is going to be a troublemaker."

Hyde shrugged. "Just like his old man. That's nice."

Jackie rolled her eyes. "And when we get called in for parent conferences everyday at school? How will you deal with that?"

"By giving my son a high five for his achievements." Hyde smirked.

Jackie smacked him in the stomach. "Steven!"

Hyde laughed. "Depending on the damage he did…"

Jackie rolled her eyes. "You are hopeless."

"I believe that's what you said when I told you I never wanted to get married. But I proved you wrong didn't I?" He teased, tickling her sides.

Jackie glared at him. "Shut up and eat your breakfast."

Hyde laughed. "Yes dear."

Jackie just giggled and went over to get some juice. "Are you working late tonight?" She asked.

Hyde shook his head. "I shouldn't be. Why?"

"I was thinking of inviting Donna and Eric and the kids over for dinner." She said. "We haven't hung out with them that much since the Katherine and Aiden we're born."

"Yeah that would be fun. And it will give the kids some time to hang out." He said.

She smiled. "Good. I'll call her in a little bit."

"Sounds good." Hyde took another sip of his drink. "Alright. I'm outta here. Have a good day guys." He leaned forward and kissed both his children goodbye.

"Have a good day at work baby." Jackie said as she walked over to kiss him.

"Will do. See you later." He said kissing her again.

"Love you." She whispered.

"Love you too Jacks." Hyde winked as he walked out to his car to leave.

Jackie smiled after her husband and returned to her children and get ready to face the day. An hour or so later, she picked up the phone and dialed Donna and Eric's number.

"Hello?" Donna said.

"Hey Donna its Jackie." She said.

Donna smiled. "Hey friend. I feel like I haven't talked to you in forever."

Jackie laughed. "I know the feeling. That's why I called actually. How are the kids?"

"A handful." Donna said laughing. "How are yours?"

"The same." Jackie laughed. "But Steven and I we're talking and we miss hanging out with you and Eric. We wanted to know if you guys would want to come over for dinner tonight with the kids."

Donna smiled. "That would be fun."

"Great. It will give the kids some time to play with one another and us some time to catch up." She said.

"Great. What time do you want us to come over?" Donna asked.

"Well Steven usually works until seven, but you are more than welcome to come over earlier if you want." She said.

"I'll come over and help you cook dinner if you want. What we're you thinking about making?" She asked.

"Well I know that Steven and Eric love mashed potatoes and chicken, like Kitty used to make. I was thinking about doing that." Jackie said.

Donna smiled. "Aw, a woman who likes to please her husband."

Jackie laughed. "Do you think that's a good idea?"

"Sure. I'll come over around five-thirty to help you. Eric gets out of work at six so he can just meet us there." She said.

Jackie smiled. "Great!"

"You know we should do this more often." Donna said. "You know, switch between houses each week. That way we don't loose touch with each other."

Jackie nodded. "I think that's a great idea."

"Good. Well I'll see you later?" She asked.

Jackie smiled. "Yup. See you later. Bye!"

"Bye!" Donna said as they both hung up.

At Groove's, Hyde was ringing up a few people at the front desk when W.B. came in. He looked around and was pleased at what he saw happening around him. When the customer's we're gone from the register, he walked over to his son.

"Things are looking great here Steven." W.B. said smiling.

Hyde nodded. "Thanks W.B." He said. "What brings you to the store?"

He shrugged. "Just wanted to catch up with you. How are Jackie and the kids?" He asked.

"There great. Mia gets more talkative each day, and Aiden is as lively as ever." He said smiling.

W.B. smiled. "He's a cute kid. Both of them are." He paused. "I was actually coming by to talk to you about something."

Hyde nodded. "Sure man. What's on your mind?"

"Steven the store is doing great…and I know that with two kids, a family to support. I'm sure you could use more money." He said.

Hyde nodded. "Sure."

"How would you feel about opening another store on the other end of town?" He asked.

Hyde's eyes widened. "Another store?"

"Yeah. Kids from all over town are coming here to buy records. And I figured that you could make more money if you make another store up on the North end of the town as well. You would me manager of both stores." He said.

Hyde was shocked and surprised but happy. "Wow. W.B. I don't know what to say. That would be great!"

W.B. smiled. "Good. I was hoping you would like the idea."

"When would we start setting up the new store?" He asked.

"Well Angie is going to be in town for a few months. She agreed to set up the new store while you continue to work here. Then when they are both up and running you can be in each store every other day." He said.

"Would I still get Saturday and Sunday off?" He asked. "I don't want to loose spending time with the kids and Jackie."

W.B. nodded. "Yes you would still have the weekends off. That would be working you to hard. But of course we're going to need to hire some more workers to keep up the demanding schedule." He said. "But I think we can handle it. And it will be great business and great money income for you and me."

Hyde smiled. "That will make Jackie happy."

W.B. laughed. "So you are up for the idea?"

Hyde nodded. "Yeah man. I think it's great!"

W.B. smiled. "Good. We'll talk more on Monday about it ok?"

Hyde leaned forward and shook W.B.'s hand. "See you then."

That night, Donna and Jackie we're in the kitchen cooking while Eric watched the kids in the living room as they played together. Hyde walked in the kitchen side door and crossed over to Jackie taking her in his arms and kissing her passionately.

Jackie smiled and pulled back. "Well it's good to see you to baby."

Hyde smiled at her. "I have great news!"

Jackie smiled. "Really? What is it?"

"W.B. wants to open a new store on the North End!" He said.

Jackie's face displayed a huge smile. "Oh honey!" She wrapped her arms around him as he picked her up and hugged her tightly. "Congratulations! That's great!"

He put her down and she kissed her again. "I know! I can't believe it. I mean you we're worried about money problems but with the new store we'll be doing great!"

Jackie smiled. "I'm so proud of you Steven."

Hyde smiled. "Thanks baby."

"Yeah Hyde that's great." Donna said hugging him. "Congrats!"

Eric peeked his head in the doorway. "Do I hear Hyde's voice?"

"Hey man! I'm opening a new store!" He said.

Eric walked into the room with Katherine in his arms. "Congrats man! That's great!"

Hyde smiled. "Thanks. I just can't believe it. W.B. said that the store was doing so good he thought the town needed another one."

Jackie smiled and kissed her husbands cheek. "Honey I'm so proud of you. This is great."

Hyde smiled and kissed his wife. "Jackie, the money we're gonna have is going to give you everything you ever wanted."

Jackie smiled and held Hyde's hand. "I already have everything I want Steven."

Hyde smiled. "Well you deserve more…and now you can have it."

Jackie just smiled and hugged her husband. "As long as you're happy…I'm happy."

Hyde smiled and hugged her. "Good. Now where are my munchkins?"

"They are in the living room." Eric said. "Let's go see them."

"This occasion deserves champagne!" Jackie said. "Go in the living room and we'll bring it out for you!" Jackie said kissing her husband once more.

After dinner and the champagne toasts, the kids we're fast asleep. Luke and Katherine sharing cribs with Mia and Luke upstairs. The four old friends we're sitting in Jackie and Hyde's living room talking and laughing.

"Man sometimes I can't believe that we're all grown and have kids of our own." Eric said. "It's crazy."

Hyde nodded and wrapped an arm around Jackie. "Yeah. I know how you feel. I never thought I'd be the business or marrying type."

"Lucky for me, you changed." Jackie winked at him.

Hyde smiled and kissed her forehead. "Anything for you doll."

"Can you guys believe that Kelso and Laurie are still dating?" Donna asked.

Jackie laughed. "I knew those crazy kids had something special when he cheated on me."

"Yeah so special you kicked Laurie's ass." Hyde said.

Eric cringed. "I just hope that Kelso doesn't become my brother in law."

"I have a funny feeling he will." Jackie said. "I don't think that anyone else could handle being married to those two."

Hyde laughed. "Who else would want to be married to those two is the better question?"

Jackie smiled. "I think it will be good if they get married. That way they can't spread their VD to anyone else."

Donna laughed. "Yeah but if they got married, I think that Red would murder Kelso."

"No it's not an I think expression Donna…he would murder him. In a very gruesome way." Eric said.

"Or he would finally put his famous 'foot in the ass' expression to use." Hyde said. "Now that would be a fun show to watch."

Jackie shrugged. "Who knows…maybe they really do love each other."

Donna nodded. "Yeah. It seems like they do."

"Besides Steven, if they got married Kelso might stop hitting on me." She said.

Hyde laughed. "Yeah that will never happen."

Eric smirked. "Oh well…I guess something's will never change."

Jackie smiled. "But in a way…that's a good thing. Sometimes I wish we could go back to those days. I mean don't get me wrong…I love my kids. But to be a kid myself for just one more day…" She said shrugging.

Hyde smiled and kissed his wife. "I know what you mean."

"Me too…sometimes when the kids are going crazy, I think about just hanging out in the basement again." Donna said.

"Those we're the days." Eric said laughing. "We had some great times."

Hyde nodded. "Yeah man we did. But we all got lucky…we've got great families."

"Perfect families." Jackie said nudging her husband.

Hyde smiled. "Perfect families."

Jackie leaned forward and kissed her husband. Donna smiled and patted Eric's leg.

"Well sweetie…I think these two needs sometime to celebrate Hyde's job alone." She said winking at her friends.

Eric nodded. "Me too. Let's get the kids and we'll go."

"So you guys will come to our house next Friday?" Donna asked.

Jackie nodded. "Sounds good."

Donna pulled her in for a hug. "I'm glad you called today. It was good to hang out with you guys again."

Jackie smiled. "Yeah. It was. And it's good for the kids to see each other too."

Donna smiled and nodded in agreement. She grabbed Hyde and hugged him as well. "Congratulations again."

Hyde hugged her back. "Thanks Donna."

Eric nodded and hugged Hyde. "Yeah man. It's great. You should be proud. I know we are."

Hyde smiled. "Thanks man. I am proud."

"Well, we're going to get the kids. We'll try not to wake up Mia and Aiden." Donna said.

"Ok. Thanks." Jackie said as she and Hyde picked up their dishes and brought them into the kitchen.

When Eric and Donna we're gone, Hyde and Jackie resided to their bedroom where Jackie pounced on her husband, prepping him with kisses. The six weeks had come and gone and the two we're back in the swing of their hot nights. Hyde smiled and rubbed Jackie's back up and down.

"Jacks…" He whispered.

Jackie pulled away from her husband and smiled at him. "Steven…I really am proud of you. You've worked so hard on this store and now it's really paying off."

Hyde smiled. "Thank you baby."

"But I only have one question." She said.

Hyde nodded. "Sure. What is it?"

"This will be a lot of work for you. And while I know you can handle it…I just worry that it will take you away from me and the kids. I don't want that to happen." She whispered.

Hyde smiled and leaned forward to kiss her. "W.B. promised that I would still have the weekends off and sure there may be some more work but I promise I'll still be around just as much." He said.

She sighed with relief. "Good."

He smiled and held his wife close. "Jackie just think about what this will do for us. You won't have to go back to work. Ever. And they money I'll bring in will be more than enough for the two kids. We could even move if we wanted to."

"Steven…slow down." Jackie said laughing. "You're a little ahead of yourself."

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"You don't even have the store yet and you are talking about what you are going to buy first." She said.

He smiled. "I'm just excited, that's all."

She smiled and kissed him gently. "Steven…we don't need to move."

"No. I guess we don't. But we could." He said shrugging.

"I don't want this to change you." She whispered staring at her husband.

"How would it change me?" He asked.

"Steven you're rushing into things here. And I'm happy with the way things are. It will be nice to be financially stable. But we don't need to go crazy and by new fancy things." She said.

Hyde shrugged. "Jackie you grew up having lavish things. And that's what you deserve and Mia and Aiden too."

"But I'd rather have a present husband and father of my children than diamonds and new houses and other things." She said. "Ok?"

Hyde smiled at his wife. "You really have grown up."

She smiled. "Well you changed me."

Hyde leaned forward to kiss her. "I love you Jacks. So if you don't want things to change…then they won' change."

She smiled and kissed him back. "Good. Now…I believe I need to congratulate you properly for this new job promotion." She said raising an eyebrow.

Hyde smiled. "Hm…I like the sound of that."

Jackie smiled and slithered her way down her husband's body. It was a long night of celebrating for the two lovers. And as they lay falling asleep Jackie hoped that her husband would keep his promise. As happy as she was for him, she didn't want things to change. She knew what money and success could do to people. She had seen what it had done to her family as a child and that was something she did not want for her children or for herself now. Unfortunately for her, she didn't realize how much things would change. And how fast they would be changing.

So as you might have guessed...the Hyde family is in for more rocky times ahead. But you know I'm a JH fan at heart. So don't be too worried. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! Thanks:D
