Author's Note: Hiya everyone! It's Friday…a little late but it's still Friday! And so here is the latest chapter of Learning to Fly! Oo and btw the poll is closed and a Christmas story will be on it's way in December. However, there is a new poll concerning that story, so please check that out! Soo thanks for reading, and reviewing, I know it's been a long story. Enjoy!

"And those were the hundred and one new trends for the fall season." Laurie said as she closed the magazine shut.

Laurie had come with Kitty to the hospital that morning, so she could spend some time with her father. Though she knew she had to, she hadn't seen him in almost ten years; she wasn't exactly looking forward to spending the whole day there. Luckily she had bought herself the new issue of Cosmo the day before.

"I liked number twenty-five and seventy-four best. What about you Daddy?" she looked up at her father, only to find him sound asleep.

"Daddy?" she called but received no answer.

Not thinking much of it, Laurie shrugged and slumped back into the chair, reopening her magazine. A few seconds later, her reading time was interrupted as the door opened and a rambling man entered Red's room.

"Alright Red. Have no fear. For I, Fez, am…What the hell?" he asked as his eyes fell upon the evil blond woman.

Laurie smiled and tilted her head to the side, "Was that last part supposed to be queer?"

Fez glared at his ex-wife, "Laurie."

Laurie stood up from her seat and crossed her arms, "Fez. What are you doing here?"

"It's Wednesday. My day." Fez explained with his own arms crossed over his chest.

"Not anymore."

Fez frowned even more, "Yes, anymore. Not anymore for you!" he said defensively.

"Daddy doesn't even like you." Laurie reminded with a roll of her eyes.

"He does too!" Fez argued, "We are like Chico and The Man. Watch." He cleared his throat and then gave his best Freddie Prince impression, "Loo-king good!"

Laurie shook her head, "You should just go home and work on that impression. It needs it." She ordered rather than suggested, "Daddy and I are doing just fine. I'm entertaining him."

Fez looked over at the hospital bed and saw the sleeping Red.

"Yes, and you're doing a wonderful job."

"Thank you." Laurie smiled ditzyly, oblivious to his sarcasm.

"You're welcome." Fez said with a nod of his head, "But fine. If you do not want me here, I will leave. But it is not because you want me to leave. I am leaving because I have better things to do. Like see my sexy blonde girlfriend." He said in an almost teasing way.

"Fine." Laurie replied sharply.

"Goodbye, whorey ex-wife." Fez called over his shoulder as he walked out the door.

"Goodbye, foreign ex-husband." Laurie called after him before turning back around, keeping her arms crosses as she looked over at her father who had yet to wake.

The room was silent as Laurie stood where she was, until the same door that had just been closed, swung right open. Fez strode in with much pride in his walk and swiftly pulled Laurie into his arms.

"Hello, Sexy Blonde Girlfriend." He greeted in a husky voice.

Laurie grinned, "Hello, Chocolate Lover."

Fez smile grew as his eyebrows moved upwards, "That could go both ways."

Laurie nodded her head as she continued to smile, before pulling Fez's face closer to hers and kissing him passionately.

Their kiss was very strong. Their hands roamed across the others' body. Moans left their throats a few times. And if Red weren't in the bed, they would have already been under the sheets.

The couple was was obviously lost in the moment, so it gave them quite a shock when they heard a familiar voice.

"Son of a bitch!"

Laurie and Fez quickly put an end to the kiss, but stayed in their embrace. Their eyes instantly fell upon the wide awake, frowning, looking ready to kill, Red Forman.

"Hi Daddy!" Laurie greeted happily as Fez's eyes became large with fright.

Before anyone could say another word, the heavy door opened once again. Kitty walked into the room, passed the young couple and straight over to her husband.

"Red, how many times do I have to remind you? You can't be saying thing like that here. Especially that…" she suddenly stopped as her eyes landed on the smiling blonde and the scared foreigner. Kitty's frown increased.

"Oh, what did you two do now?"

"Well, we didn't get married again." Fez nervously said, hoping to make them laugh.

There was a noise in the room, but it wasn't laughter. It was the loud beeping coming from one of the machines on Red's bedside. Kitty quickly hurried to her husbands' side.

"Red, honey, you need to take it easy. Remember your heart." She said as she gently placed her hand on his upper-arm.

Red never looked at his wife. His eyes stayed fixed on the couple before him.

"How the hell can I take it easy when our daughter is dating Aladdin?!" he shouted.

"It's ok, Daddy. We're not dating." Laurie was quick to answer as she and a worried Fez walked over to her parents, "We're still married!"

Both Kitty and Red's eyes popped out as Fez hid behind his, apparently, wife.

"You're what?!" Red shouted, not caring about the beeping.

Kitty's nervous laughter filled the room, "April fools!" she exclaimed as she waved her arms around.

Laurie looked at her mother as if she had gone crazy, "It's not April, Mother."

"Yes, and this is not something we would joke about." Fez squeaked out from behind Laurie.

"Unless you want to give your father another heart attack, then yes it is." Kitty firmly told them and both Fez and Laurie nodded their heads and began to agree with the older woman.

Red ignored the three of them, he wanted an answer and he wanted it now.

"You two were supposed to get a divorce over ten years ago! What the hell happened?!" he exclaimed.

"That's right Laurie. We sent you the papers and everything." Kitty said out loud.

She wanted to keep her husband calm but she, herself, also wanted some answers.

"I forgot." Laurie answered with a shrug.

"I signed them." Fez said as he slowly came out from behind Laurie, "But when I went to mail them off, I may have got distracted."

"With what?" his in-laws asked.

"A sale at a candy store." Fez answered bashfully.

Red was also turning red, but not for the same reason as Fez.

"You own your own damn candy store!" he shouted.

"I know." Fez nodded, "It was at my candy store. The five finger discount."

Red glared at his…son-in-law, who was smiling slightly. Finally, Red couldn't take it any longer.

"That's it!" Red declared and then tried his best to get out of his bed.

He would have gotten out of the bed too, if Kitty hadn't have held him back. She wasn't very strong but Red knew if he tried to escape his wife's grip there would be hell to pay.

"Red, please your heart." Kitty pleaded with him as she ran her hand down his upper-arm, trying to calm him, "Take a few deep breaths."

"Yes, Red." Fez added as he walked closer and knelt down at Red's bedside, "In and out. In and out."

Fez was trying to help, but it was doing more harm than good. As Red's glare deepened, Fez slowly backed off.

"Red, be nice to the boy. He's just worried about you. We're all worried about you and your old, clogged up, heart." Kitty said softly.

"Well you shouldn't be." Red growled, "What you should be worried about is Tarzan's ass, because my foot is about to go up it!"

Before Kitty could grab a hold of him again, Red was out of bed and on his feet. Fez backed away as Red marched over to him, his machines nor his wife to far away from him. Laurie quickly jumped in front of the two men.

"Daddy no!" she cried, "I love him!"

Laurie's words did nothing at all; if anything it only made things worse. After the words left her mouth, Red's pace quickened and Fez's life started flashing before his eyes.

Him in his home country. Him coming to America. Meeting his friends. The candy. The Playboys. Hanging out with his friends. The candy. The Playboys…his journey was cut short as Kitty's voice filled his ears.

"Red, it could have been worse!" she reminded, but it did nothing. "It could have been Michael!"

Suddenly Red stopped and the other three occupants of the room, held their breaths.

"That's true." Red gruffly agreed.

Kitty nodded, "It is true." She said as she helped Red sit down on the side of his bed.

Slowly he took a seat and was silent for several seconds. It was obvious he was thinking. What they didn't know was about what. At last the silence was broken.

Red cleared his throat and looked over at Fez, keeping his voice and expression serious and intimidating.

"Do you love my daughter?"

The frightened Fez began to shake his head until Kitty quickly nodded her head from behind her husbands back. That was when Fez quickly nodded his head as well.

Red frowned at the young man before looking at his daughter. His face softened a bit.

"And you're happy, Kitten?"

Laurie grinned and nodded as she linked arms with her very stiff husband. Her father sighed.

"Fine." He held up his hands, "I don't agree with this a hundred percent, but it could have been the kettle head."

"Thank you, Daddy!" Laurie exclaimed before throwing her arms around him.

Red one-armed hugged his little girl and smiled only because she was happy. Right beside them Kitty was welcoming Fez back into the family with a tight hug. The younger couple switched sides and mother and daughter hugged tightly. However, when Fez walked over to Red, Red's glare had reappeared causing Fez to take a few steps back.

"Ok, I'll wait." He said backing off.

Laurie smiled and then joined her husband. The two women smiled at each other as Red glared at Fez who tried to avoid the look.

"Well Daddy, I've had fun. But now I'm wanna go spend some alone time with my husband." Laurie said as she looked over at Fez and began to bat her eyelashes.

Fez grinned as he kept his eyes on Laurie, "Yes, we're going to find the nearest closet and do it like baby monkeys."

Laurie grinned largely, obviously as excited as her husband. However, when Fez finally tore his eyes away from Laurie, he caught the scowls of his in-laws.

"Uh, I mean…hold hands politely." Fez said before grabbing his wife's hand and running out of the room.

Red stared angrily at the door the couple had just left through. Kitty gave out a giggle and Red turned his glare over to her.

"Oh, aren't they cute?" she asked with a large smile on her face.

"No!" Red practically shouted.

"Oh, Red." She slightly scolded before letting her mind drift off.

Their little girl was married. Well she had been married for over ten years, but now she was actually with her husband.

Noticing Kitty's sudden quietness, Red looked over at her and frowned.

"What's wrong?" he asked curiously.

"Nothing." Kitty shook her head, "I was just thinking. Eric and Donna are happily married with great jobs, and they gave us two wonderful grandchildren. Steven's working things out with Jackie. Laurie and Fez are married. Michael has Brooke and Betsy, and it's been three months since he glued himself to anything." Kitty rambled on, and then suddenly her smile fell.

"They're really growing up aren't they Red?"

Red couldn't help but smirk. The kids were growing up and he was going home. Hopefully they'd be so grown up by the time he was released, that they'd all be out of his house.

"Yup."

"And pretty soon they won't need us anymore." She said looking up at him, her eyes shining with tears.

"Kitty." Red said as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "As long as they're dumbasses, and they will be forever, they'll always need you."

Kitty grinned as fought back her tears and then gave Red a much deserved kiss.

"You know, they need you too." She reminded and he sighed.

"I guess our jobs here aren't even close to being done here, huh?"

"Nope." Kitty said with a shake of her head.

"Well I guess that's alright." Red smirked, "As long as I've got you by my side, everything'll be alright."

"Oh, Red." Kitty said bashfully.

"Especially since I'm gonna need your help with breaking up those two." Red added, earning him a slap on the chest from his wife.

******

Later that same day, Laurie was getting reacquainted with her brother and his friends, even though as he hated it and well her. They were all sitting in the basement.

Kelso and Brooke, who had surprisingly become quick friends with Laurie, were sitting on the lawn chair. Donna and Fez sat on the couch as Eric sat on the arm of the couch, staring down his sister as she sat on the floor with the three kids.

"There you go, Ally." Laurie said smiling as she let go of the little girls hand and closed the Jungle Red nail polish. "Now your nails look pretty and if your Mommy or Daddy ask you to do something you say you can't because your nails aren't dry yet."

Ally smiled largely before wrapping her little arms around Laurie's neck.

"Thanks, Auntie Laurie!"

Laurie's smile grew and she hugged the little girl back. It was a sweet and actually human thing of Laurie to do. It caused everyone to give their own smiles; everyone but Eric. He just frowned at the scene.

"Why must you teach my daughter to be evil?!"

Laurie just shrugged her shoulders with her smile in place, before letting go of her niece.

Ally walked over to Betsy to show her friend her nails. Betsy obviously liked them, and turned to her parents.

"Mommy, can Auntie Laurie do my hair?"

Brooke smiled at her daughter, "If it's ok with her."

Laurie was quick to answer, "Sure I will. Come on over here, Kid."

Betsy smiled before bouncing her way over to her aunt.

"Wow Laurie, I can't believe you're actually being nice to kids." Donna said to her sister-in-law, "I mean I never pictured you with kids…at all."

"Well except for feeding off them for their youth." Eric commented, but Laurie ignored the insult and began brushing Betsy's long brown hair.

"I know what you mean. I like babies, but I always thought that once they grew up they were pretty annoying." Laurie stated before smiling her ditzy smile, "But they're really not!" she said happily and then hugged Betsy.

Her smile grew as she looked over at her husband, "I want one."

Just those three words caused a long silence to take over the room. Everybody was shocked by the words, mostly because of who had said them. Nobody knew what to say. Except for Kelso who spoke the first thing that popped into his mind.

"Quick, grab Betsy." he said to his wife, "She's the cutest. They're bound to go after her first."

Fez looked over at his blushing…well his bride. He doubted anything could make her blush.

He smiled proudly, "Well Lollipop, if you want a baby, then we shall have a baby."

Eric exchanged worried expressions with Donna. Brooke and Kelso were smiling. Brooke out of happiness for her friends and Kelso because well he was Kelso.

"You guys would make a great shade of mocha." Kelso shared.

Laurie and Fez smiled and nodded as Donna and Eric frowned at the handsome man.

"I think it would be cute to have a little girl." Laurie shared as she continued to brush Betsy's hair.

Fez nodded, "Yes, we could name her Ruth. She would be out little Baby Ruth!" he said happily only to have his smile grow even more as he noticed the familiar name.

Laurie nodded happily as he brother looked on.

He couldn't help but glare at the two. He was the favorite child while Laurie was away. He was the one who went off to college, got married, and had kids. He was the one who had a good paying job. He had been here for the family since Red got sick. But none of that mattered anymore, not since she returned.

And then he'd be kicked out into the cold the minute her Mocha Baby Ruth was born.

"You guys just got…" Donna drifted off as she realized those wouldn't be the correct words, "You guys, can't have a baby. It's too soon."

"Yeah." Eric agreed, happy that Donna was on his side, "You guys just started living in the same state."

The newlywed couple looked at each other and then at Eric and Donna.

"We don't like to waste time." Fez stated.

"Yeah. Unlike some people, who waited like fifteen years after they met to have their kids."

"We were six!" Eric exclaimed, defending himself and his wife.

"Wouldn't have stopped us." Fez replied with his arms crossed. Laurie nodded in agreement. And knowing those two they were probably serious.

Eric's frown deepened and he finally had to say what was on his mind.

"How are you the favorite?!"

Laurie shrugged her shoulder, "I don't know." she smiled, "But isn't it awesome?"

A smile spread across Fez's face, "Ooh that makes me, the favorite son-in-law!"

Brooke frowned along with the couple on the couch. "Fez, aren't you the Forman's only son-in-law?"

"Yeah." Kelso nodded, "And I'm pretty sure you're still not Red's favorite son-in-law."

Fez frowned as he began to get upset, even though he knew it might very well be true.

"I'm…I'm more of a favorite than Donna!"

"Hey!" the redhead, who Fez was pointing at, exclaimed.

"No, he's right." Eric said sadly, "You married me."

Donna and the others agreed, including Eric himself.

A few seconds later Hyde entered from the side door. He shuffled his way past the group not taking notice to any of them, until his eyes fell upon Laurie.

"Hey Whore." he greeted as he took a seat in his chair.

"Hey, Orphan." Laurie responded, never looking up from Betsy's hair.

"Heard about the big new, Fez." Hyde bean, "You must be so proud. You've just saved like hundreds of marriages."

Fez grinned proudly at his smirking friend. Laurie, meanwhile, looked up from her task and snarled at Hyde.

"You know we should really go out and celebrate your marriage." Brooke said out loud, keeping Laurie from saying her comeback.

"Yeah." Donna agreed, "We didn't get to go out earlier."

"We can go out and eat," Eric suggested.

"Yeah! Somewhere fancy…with like tablecloths!" Kelso grinned happily.

"And free bread." Fez said with hunger in his eyes.

"And lots of different rooms." Laurie added with a different kind of hunger in her eyes.

"We could go to Tony's." Brooke suggested, and everyone seemed to agree.

"Yeah, that sounds good."

"Sure."

"Ok, yeah."

"Alright!"

"Oo their hot rolls are very good."

Hyde was the only one who didn't say anything until, "You have to make reservation, don't you." he sated more than questioned, with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Yeah, Hyde's right." Eric said, his excitement slipping away.

The basement became quiet as they all lost their excitement. None of them liked making reservations for anything. Not even now, when it would mean them going out and having a good time. None of them wanted the duty.

However, just as quickly as they shut up, they all touched the tip of their noses and opened their mouths.

"Not me!" they all exclaimed. Including Betsy, Luke, and Ally; but excluding Hyde.

Hyde looked around at the six morons and their kids. He frowned slightly.

"I fell right into that, didn't I?"

"That's right, Buddy." Fez grinned happily.

"Burn!" Kelso shouted.

Eric smirked at the upset looking Hyde. He handed him the phone, "Here you are."

Hyde practically yanked the phone out of his hand. He was not the least bit happy about making the reservations. He'd have to get them back with another little "Dine and Dash" tonight. Especially after ordering the most expensive thing on the menu.

Hyde raised the phone up to his and got ready to dial the number to the old restaurant. His finger froze in front of the nine, when he heard the familiar voice on the other end.

"No tomorrow's too soon."

It was Jackie.

"Well when would you like it?" another woman's voice was heard asking.

"I don't know." Jackie sighed, "I have to leave… but I just can't leave that soon."

"Well there is a flight to Chicago on Saturday at noon."

Two days from now. Jackie was gonna leave two days from now?"

"Ok, yeah. That sounds good." Jackie answered.

"Alright, let me just…'

Hyde didn't want to hear anymore. He slammed the receiver back on the base and stood up from his seat. Not caring that his friends' eyes were all on him. He tossed the phone onto Eric's lap and stormed off into his room in the back.

Everyone was motionless as their eyes stayed fixed on the door that had just been, loudly, shut. Fez looked over at his friends.

"Does this mean no buttery hot rolls?"

Author's Note: And that would be Chapter 36 of "Learning to Fly" Hope you liked!

Is Jackie leaving on Saturday? Will Hyde try to stop her? Is Laurie serious about having a baby? Will Fez ever get his buttery hot rolls? And when will this story end? Confused? You won't be after the next chapter of "Learning to Fly"

Until then, thanks for reading, hope you liked, please review and lemme know what you think, see you next time, and have a nice day!
