By the end of October, the second Groove's store was well on its way to being set up. Angie was spending everyday there making sure everything was in perfect condition. Whenever Hyde got a moment away from the store he would run by to check on the new stores progress. Things we're still good at home and Hyde was home just as much as usual but he did seem a lot more stressed. Tonight was Halloween and Kitty had invited them all over for a party that the kids had to be dressed up for. Hyde came tearing into the kitchen while Jackie was putting the kid's outfits together.

"I have to call my Dad." Hyde said as he ran into his office.

Jackie spun around and watched him run past her without even giving her a kiss. "Hi!" She yelled.

"Mommy?" Mia asked her Mother.

Jackie turned back to her daughter. "Yes sweetie?"

"Daddy ok?" She asked.

Jackie nodded. "I think so baby. Why don't you go show Daddy your Halloween costume?" She said placing her on the ground.

Mia ran into Hyde's office and he was angrily yelling at someone on the phone. She stopped in the doorway and held onto the frame when Jackie followed her, holding Aiden in her arms. Mia clung to her Mother's leg.

"Angie called that order in weeks ago!" He yelled.

Jackie rubbed Mia's head. "Sweetie come on…we'll show Daddy later."

"But now…" She pouted.

"Don't give me that bull shit!" Hyde yelled into the phone.

Jackie jumped and pushed Mia out of the room and put Aiden in his playpen with Mia. She kissed them both on the head and walked back into Hyde's office and shut the door. Hyde was pacing as he continued to yell at whoever was on the phone. Finally he slammed the phone down and threw a pad of paper across the room.

"Steven…you just terrified your kids." She whispered.

Hyde flung around and stared at his wife. "Well why we're they in here?" He asked.

Jackie stared at Hyde. "It's Halloween. Mia wanted to show you her costume."

Hyde shrugged. "Well you should have waited until I was done with my phone call."

"Well you should have given your family a proper hello instead of storming in here like you did." She said hand on hip.

Hyde put his hands up. "I don't have time for your nagging tonight."

Jackie swallowed the lump in her throat. "You're right. You don't. You have to get ready for the Foreman's Halloween party."

Hyde sighed. "Great."

Jackie took a step towards him. "You promised Kitty as well as the kids that you would be there." She said.

Hyde looked at her. "Look Jackie…I just have a lot of work I need to do."

"I don't care how much work you have to do." She said determinedly. "You will not break a promise to your children."

Hyde sighed. "Fine. But we're leaving early." He said brushing past his wife.

Jackie stood in the office stunned by what had just happened. What was happening to her husband? What was happening to their relationship? She sighed and just tried to tell herself that he had been stressed. That once the store was opened everything would go back to normal. She sighed and went into the living room and picked up the kids and finished their costumes. Mia of course was a fairy princess. Aiden was a rock and roll star. The little hair that he had was slicked back; he had his Led Zeppelin shirt on with a mini jean jacket and jeans. And to top it all off he had little baby sunglasses on his face that he kept trying to pull off. Jackie smiled and kissed both of their heads. The door bell rang and Jackie answered it, finding Fez and Kyle on the other side.

"Hey guys!" She said. "You look great."

Fez and Kyle came in dressed up as Danny and Kinickey from Grease. Fez was Danny.

Fez smiled. "Well you look great too…but where's your costume?" He asked.

Jackie sighed. "I've been getting the kids ready so I haven't had time to get dressed yet."

"Well we'll watch the kids while you get changed." Kyle said.

Jackie smiled. "Thanks. I'll be upstairs if you need me."

Jackie went upstairs into her bedroom and found Hyde getting changed. She quickly turned away from him and walked into her closet.

Hyde watched her walk by him and he sighed.

"So you're not going to talk to me now?" He asked angrily.

Jackie looked over at him. "I'd rather not get yelled at so this is just easier."

Hyde laughed. "Whatever."

Jackie looked at Hyde and opened her mouth to say something. Then she just shut her mouth and went into the bathroom to get changed. She leaned her hands against the bathroom sink and stared at herself in the mirror. Tears started to stream down her face and she told herself that this was just a stupid fight. Her husband was not changing for good. Washing her face, she started to apply her make up and fix up her hair. She was going to the party as one of Charlie's Angels and Hyde was supposed to be Charlie. When she was done getting dressed, she walked back into bedroom and walked over to her dresser to put her jewelry on. Hyde looked at his wife when he finished getting dressed. She looked good. She looked very good and he sauntered over to her, put his arms on either side of her body.

"Damn baby…" He whispered.

Jackie shuddered but then put up an angry front. "Steven…don't."

Hyde sighed. "Look I'm sorry…"

"You're not going to use sex to get out of this." Jackie said.

Hyde started kissing her neck. "Jackie…I'm sorry."

Jackie turned around and looked at him. "Steven you terrified your children tonight."

Hyde sighed. "I'm sorry. Ok?"

She shook her head. "No. It's not ok…"

Hyde looked at her. "What can I do?"

"You can promise me that this was just a one time thing. That you are just stressed and this isn't the beginning of some new you. Because if it is, I want nothing to do with it." She said honestly.

Hyde nodded his head. "I'm sorry. I had a bad day. I took it out on you and that was wrong. Can you forgive me?"

Jackie looked into those deep blue irises and her heart melted just like it did every time she looked at him. "Steven…"

"I promise…" He whispered. "I promise it won't happen again."

Jackie sighed. "It better not…"

He smiled at her and kissed her gently. "It won't."

She sighed and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Whatever you say…Charlie." She said winking.

Hyde laughed and held her tightly. "Come on. Let's have a good night at the Foreman's."

Hyde and Jackie walked back downstairs and saw Kyle and Fez playing with the kids. Mia looked at her Daddy and hid behind Kyle.

Jackie tapped Kyle and Fez's arms. "Let's give them a moment. Meet you in the car?" She asked Hyde.

Hyde nodded and leaned forward and kissed Jackie. "Thanks."

When the three of them we're gone, Hyde sat down in front of Mia and Aiden. Aiden's tiny hand reached for his father's hand and Hyde let him grip his fingers tightly. Mia wouldn't look at her father.

"Hey guys…" Hyde whispered. "You both look adorable."

Mia started to get up and walk towards the door but Hyde picked her up and put her on his lap. She started to cry and yell for Jackie but Hyde kissed her cheek.

"Baby…I'm sorry." He whispered. "I shouldn't have yelled."

"Daddy no love…" She said rubbing her eyes.

Hyde held Mia closer. "No. No that's not true."

"Yell." She whispered.

Hyde kissed her cheek more. "I'm sorry."

Mia looked at her Daddy with a small little pout on her lips and tears in her eyes and Hyde rubbed her cheeks gently. Mia wrapped her arms around her Daddy and he kissed the side of her face.

"I shouldn't have yelled." He kissed her again. "I'm sorry baby. Can you forgive me?"

"Forgive." Mia said.

Hyde smiled. "Good. Then let's go to the Halloween party at Grandmas!"

Mia smiled at her Dad and hugged him tightly. "Love."

Hyde squeezed her gently. "Love you too munchkin. Take me hand so I can carry Aiden's carrier ok?" He said.

Mia nodded her little head and walked out the door with her Daddy. He put her in her seat in the back of the car and made sure Aiden's chair was securely strapped in. Sliding into the front seat he looked over at his wife. She smiled at him and looked back at the kids.

"Everything ok?" She asked.

Hyde nodded. "Yup. Everything's fine."

Jackie smiled and patted his leg. "Good."

When they got to the Foreman's, everyone was gathered in the living room. Little Luke was chasing Betsy around. Luke was a little monster and Betsy was a fairy. Little Katherine was a bumblebee. Eric was Luke Skywalker and a very pissed off Donna was Leia. Kelso and Laurie we're sonny and Cher. Kitty was Gilinda the good witch and Red was the devil. Mia ran up to her Grandma and spun around in her dress.

"Look gammy." She said.

Kitty smiled at the little girl. "Well you look so pretty Mia."

Mia giggled. "Thank you." She whispered before running back to her mother.

Jackie laughed. "You let him dress you up like that Donna?"

Donna glared at her husband. "Yup. But next year I get to choose the costumes."

"And what will you pick to torture him?" Hyde asked.

"I was thinking he should be Peter Pan." Donna said.

Eric groaned. "Tights and all?"

"Hey…you made me put these stupid buns on the side of my head. So yes, you get to wear the tights." She said.

Jackie laughed. "Whatever. All I know is…Steven and I look hot."

"How can you be Charlie though? No one knows what he looks like." Kelso said.

Hyde smirked. "Yeah but you gotta know he's hot. I mean he's got three bad ass chicks fighting for him so therefore he's a pimp. So…obviously I would be the perfect Charlie."

Jackie just chuckled. "Katherine looks so adorable."

"What bout me?" Luke said. "Rarrrrr!" He yelled.

Jackie giggled and kneeled down in front of him. "You are very scary Luke!"

Luke smirked and looked at Mia. "Rarrrr!"

Mia yelped and held onto her Dad's leg. "Daddy!"

Hyde smiled and picked Mia up. "It's ok baby…its just Luke. He's dressed up like you."

"Uggo." Mia said wrinkling up her nose.

Hyde looked at his wife. "Oh she is so your daughter."

Jackie laughed. "Sweetie that isn't very nice. He's just dressed up for Halloween."

Mia looked at Luke. "Uke?" She asked as she called him.

Luke nodded his head. "Yeah."

Mia smiled and looked at her Dad. "Me play Uke?" She asked.

Hyde smiled and kissed her cheek. "Sure baby. Go play with Luke."

He set his daughter down and let her run around with Luke and Betsy. Kelso leaned down in front of Aiden and smiled.

"Nice. He's a rock star." He said.

"Like father like son." Hyde said proudly.

"Oh you wish Hyde." Laurie said rolling her eyes."

"You know Laurie I think you got the wrong costume. We're they out of cloths at Sluts R Us?" He asked.

Laurie snickered. "Shut up orphan boy."

Jackie stepped in. "Whoa. Laurie…you can't talk to my husband like that."

Laurie smiled. "Be careful Jackie…I did steal your man once."

Jackie laughed. "Steven would never touch you…and once, if I do recall…I kicked your ass. Care to relive that moment?" She teased.

Laurie smiled. "Come on Kelso. Let's go do it in the basement."

"Kick ass!" Kelso said pulling Laurie towards the basement."

Hyde just shook his head and chuckled. "Something's never change."

"Hey dumbass…there's someone from your office on the phone for you." Red said coming in from the kitchen.

Jackie looked at Hyde and he just smiled. "Be right back."

Jackie sighed and watched him walk into the kitchen. The boys dispersed leaving Jackie and Donna.

"So Hyde works really hard huh?" Donna asked.

Jackie nodded. "To hard."

"Is everything ok with you guys?" She asked.

Jackie shrugged. "I guess so. He's just been really busy lately. And tonight when he came home he was really irritable. He started yelling at someone on the phone and he scared the kids and we got in an argument about it."

Donna looked at her friend sympathetically. "You think the pressure is getting to him?"

"I'm not sure. But I just hope that it doesn't get any worse. I don't want his job to interfere with family life." She said.

Donna nodded. "Well that is understandable."

"But at the same time…he is so excited about the new store. I know it's a great opportunity for him. I just hope he can balance a family and a job." She said.

Donna nodded. "He loves you. I'm sure he will make it work."

"He better. Or I'll chop his balls off." She joked.

Donna laughed. "I've wanted to do that a few times with Eric."

The two girls just laughed as Kitty came dancing over with her pink frilly dress and a big margarita in her hand.

"Hello ladies!" She giggled.

Jackie laughed. "Hi Mrs. Foreman. I love your costume."

Kitty laughed and curtsied. "Why thank you."

Donna smiled. "Gilinda the good witch huh?"

Kitty giggled. "She has powers! And I plan to use them tonight on Red once you all leave."

Both girls wrinkled their noses. "Mrs. Foreman please." Jackie said. "We don't want to hear about any powers or any other thing you wish to use on your own husband."

Kitty rolled her drunken eyes. "You marry my sons…you hear about my bedroom talk." She giggled.

Donna groaned in disgust. "Ewww."

"What? I had to hear about you two for years!" She said. "God knows you please those boys enough! In fact I've walked in on the both of you! Must be nice to have young bodies…although I'm sure they are different now after two babies."

Jackie pouted. "Steven still thinks I'm sexy."

"Eric thinks I'm sexy too." Donna said feeling uncomfortable.

Kitty laughed. "After I had two babies…Red thought I was sexy. Or so he said…but I think he just knew he couldn't have anyone else again. Otherwise…I'd kill him." She said walking away with her drink.

"Donna?" Jackie asked.

Donna sighed. "What?"

"Steven thinks I'm sexy right?" She asked.

Donna shrugged. "How should I know?"

"You're supposed to say yes Donna! God! You suck at comforting a friend!" She said.

Donna laughed. "Oh and you're perfect at it."

"Whatever." She said rolling her eyes.

Hyde walked back into the room and sighed. "Hey Jacks…that was Angie. She's having problems down at the new store."

Jackie looked at her husband. "Steven no…"

He sighed. "I'm sorry. But she's freaking out. I gotta go."

"Steven…" She begged. "Please. Stay." She said holding onto his hand.

"I'll meet you back at the house later." He said kissing her temple. "Steal some of Kitty's candy too. I want some."

"Steven…" Jackie said.

He shrugged. "I'm sorry. But I gotta go." He said kissing Mia and Aiden.

"Where go?" Mia asked.

"Daddy has to go see Auntie Angie. I'll see you later munchkin ok? Be good." He said.

Mia walked over to her mother with tears in her eyes. "Daddy go?"

Jackie leaned down and picked Mia up and sighed. "Yeah…sweetie he had to go."

Mia pouted. "Why?"

Jackie looked out the window and saw her husband speed out of the driveway. "Because Daddy is a workaholic now."

Mia just looked at her Mother. "Huh?"

She sighed. "Nothing sweetie. Why don't you go back and play with Luke and Betsy."

Fez walked over to her. "You ok?"

She shrugged. "I'm fine."

"We'll give you a ride home later." He said. "Betsy has a car seat in our car too so Mia can use hers and Aiden is already in his."

Jackie nodded and smiled weakly. "Thanks."

Donna put an arm around her friend. "Come on…let's go raid Mrs. Foreman's candy stash."

Jackie smiled. "Ok."

Kyle walked over to Fez. "What's up with Hyde? I mean I don't know him that well but he's been different lately."

Fez sighed. "Yeah. He has. I just hope he doesn't do something stupid again."

"You mean like cheat on her?" He asked. "Again?"

Fez sighed. "He better not. Because if he does, and Jackie doesn't kill him…I will."

Kyle nodded. "I think everyone in this room will."

Fez looked back at Kyle. "No…he won't. At least I don't think."

"I think you should worry more about them growing apart because of the job. I don't think he would have time for another girl. He barley has time for his own family as it is." Kyle said.

Fez shook his head. "Some people just don't see how good they actually have it."

"Until it's gone…" Kyle said.

"Maybe I'll have a talk with Hyde tomorrow." Fez said.

Kyle nodded. "Good idea Fez."

Fez smiled. "Come on…let's go play with the kids."

Kyle smiled. "Watch you guys! Uncle Fez and Uncle Kyle are coming to get you!"

The kids looked back and started laughing and yelling as they ran from their favorite Uncles.

Hours later, Jackie had devoured most of the candy in the bucket as she sat with Donna at the kitchen table. Red came over and scoured down at the bucket and looked at Jackie who was visibly upset.

"Hey Donna…do me a favor?" He asked.

Donna nodded. "Sure Red…what is it?"

"Scram." He said.

Donna took the hint. "Right…I'll be in the living room. I'll check on Aiden, Jackie."

Jackie just grunted. "Fine."

Red sighed and sat down across from Jackie. "What's on your mind kiddo?"

She sighed. "Does Steven think I'm sexy?"

Red chocked on a piece of candy. "That's not what I was expecting."

Jackie sighed and pushed the candy wrappers away. "I'm sorry…its just he's been so busy lately. And I feel like he doesn't want me…although he did say I looked hot today."

Red looked at Jackie. "This is uncomfortable."

Jackie pouted. "I'm sorry! I'm just worried…"

Red smiled and patted Jackie's shoulder. "Steven is just experiencing success right now. He's never had it as good as he does right now. He has a great job and its expanding. And he has a great, supportive family. Everything seems perfect to him right now and he hasn't learned how to balance it all."

"So you don't think it will affect the family?" She asked.

Red shrugged. "I'm not going to lie…to a certain extent it will. But Steven is a smart boy. He'll figure out how to fix it."

Jackie smiled. "Good."

"You feel better?" He asked.

Jackie smiled. "Yeah. Thank you."

Red smiled. "Good. Now stop eating the damn candy! I'm running out for the damn kids. And when I run out…they egg my damn house!"

Jackie laughed. "Sorry. I'm officially done with the candy…in fact I think I'm going to be sick."

Red rolled his eyes. "I let the whole you having your water break on my porch go…you couldn't help that. But if you blow chunks on my kitchen floor…you might not be allowed here for awhile. This is where I eat damn it!"

Jackie smiled and stood up. "Then I will refrain from doing so sir."

"Good…now go check on your kids. I need to tend to my drunken wife." He said sighing.

The door flew open and Kitty came in dancing around with her magic wand. "Oh I love being a good witch! Watch Red! Watch!" She said as she floated around the room.

Jackie laughed. "And now would be about the time to take the kids home…this may scar them for life."

Red nodded. "Good plan."

Jackie walked into the kitchen and saw Aiden was fast asleep and Mia and Luke we're curled up on the couch both falling asleep slowly. She laughed and walked over to Fez and Kyle.

"Hey…I don't want to rush you. But the kids fell asleep. I think I should take them home now." She said.

Kyle nodded. "That's fine. We have another party to go to anyway."

Fez smiled. "Yes. It shall be my first gay Halloween party!" He said.

Jackie laughed. "Well good for you Fezzie…"

"Come on…I'll pick up Mia for you." Kyle said.

They picked the kids up and brought them out to the car and strapped them both in. Driving up to her house, Hyde's car wasn't in the driveway yet. Jackie sighed and picked up Aiden's carrier and Kyle brought Mia into the house.

"Just put her in her crib and I'll change her." Jackie whispered.

"You going to be ok alone?" Fez asked.

Jackie nodded. "Yeah. Thanks for bringing us home."

Fez kissed her cheek. "Anytime. Call me tomorrow ok?"

Jackie nodded and kissed Kyle's cheek. "I will. Have a good time at your party."

They smiled and left the room. Jackie placed Aiden's carrier on the ground and picked up the sleepy Mia, bringing her over to her

changing table. Mia could barley keep her eyes open as her mother took of her costume.

"Seep princess…" She said.

Jackie smiled. "No sweetie…you gotta put your jimmies on. You'll be more comfortable."

Mia yawned. "Daddy home?"

Jackie shook her head. "Not yet baby."

"When?" She asked.

Jackie smiled and slipped on her pajamas and picked her up. "You'll see him when you wake up sweetie."

Mia yawned. "Oh…nigh Mommy…"

"Night baby girl." She said kissing her cheek as she put her in her crib. "I love you."

"Love Mommy…" Mia whispered as her mother tucked her in.

Jackie smiled and placed a kiss on her head again and then went over to pick up Aiden. She brought the carrier into her room and quickly changed him into his pajamas. He fussed a little because he was exhausted but as soon as she put him in his crib he went straight to bed. She smiled and petted his head gently. Jackie went into the bathroom and quickly changed out of her own costume and got ready for bed. Slipping into her bed, she looked at the clock. It was 10:45 and Hyde wasn't home. She sighed and lay awake for awhile before sleep consumed her. When Hyde got home it was around midnight. He crept into the room and changed into his own pajamas. He slipped into bed and wrapped his arms around Jackie leaving a kiss on her cheek.

Jackie stirred and her eyes opened gently. "Steven?"

Hyde smiled and kissed her lips gently. "Hey…sorry I'm so late."

She yawned and looked at the clock. "Wow…you are late. Is everything ok?" She asked.

Hyde nodded. "Yeah. Angie just forgot to order some materials for the store." He said.

Jackie nodded and wrapped her arms around his middle. "Oh…is that what you we're fighting about with some on the phone earlier?"

He nodded. "Yeah. She thought she had ordered it…but she didn't."

"Like the bins…" She said smiling.

Hyde laughed. "Yeah. Like the bins…but the milk crates worked well."

"Yeah…Donna just had to make out with the milk man for them." Jackie said wrinkling her nose in disgust.

Hyde smiled. "Better her than you."

"Damn right." Jackie yawned as she snuggled up to her husband.

"How was the rest of the party?" Hyde asked as he rubbed her back gently.

Jackie shrugged. "It was fine. I ate most of Kitty's candy but she was to drunk to notice."

Hyde laughed. "Nice."

Jackie sighed and her eyes opened, not meeting his as she rested her head under his chin. "It would have been better if you we're there. The kids missed you." She paused. "I missed you."

Hyde sighed. "I know. I'm sorry…"

Jackie looked up at him. "It's ok…I just feel like you've been so busy lately. And I know there is a lot going on at work. I just don't want it to interfere with this family."

Hyde shook his head. "It won't. I promise."

Jackie nodded and leaned up to kiss him. "Good."

Hyde studied his wife. "Is there something else bothering you?" He asked.

"Why would you think that?" She asked, biting her lip.

Hyde looked at her. "I can just tell…what is it?"

Jackie sighed. "Steven do you think I'm sexy?"

Hyde laughed at the absurdity of the question. "What kind of question is that?"

"It's just a question that needs a yes or no answer." Jackie said. "So. Do you?"

Hyde smiled and captured her lips in a fiery kiss. "Yes. Most definitely yes."

Jackie smiled shyly. "Even after two kids?"

Hyde nodded his head. "I think you are sexier than ever."

Jackie breathed a sigh of relief. "Good…"

Hyde smiled mischievously. "In fact…let me show you just how sexy I think you are."

Jackie laughed. "Ok Charlie…"

Hyde laughed. "Oh yeah…my own personal Angel."

"Willing to do whatever her boss tells her to do…" She said winking.

Hyde smiled. "This is going to be a good night…"

Jackie chuckled and wiggled down Hyde's front side. "You have no idea."

Hyde just smirked as his wife playfully tickled and teased him. He made a mental not to make more time for his family. He wouldn't let this new store interfere with his relationship with his wife or his children. Or at least…that's what he told himself.

Ok you know what to do-Upnext...It's Mia's birthday. But will Hyde be around for it? Look out for an update soon. But first...REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW:D
