In the afternoon, I was taking a nap. I've mostly been sleeping and puking lately and was afraid to eat anything, but Kitty was a nurse and got pregnant two times so she helped me out with it.

Suddenly, someone was trying to awake me and I unwillingly opened my eyes. It was Michael and he sat down on my bed so I had to move to make some space for him.

"Hey, Rachel," Michael said in a soft voice. "Have you been sleeping till the afternoon?"

I rolled my eyes. "I was just taking a nap."

"Oh. I was wondering if you would like to go out on a date with me. I realized we never did that before."

"Yeah, we haven't." I said thoughtfully.

"So, would you?" He asked. "We can even bring Hyde and Jackie with to break the ice. I'm sure they would love to go."

I thought about it for a bit. Going out on a date for the first time with Michael Kelso while pregnant was something I had never imagined.

"Okay."

"Really?" He was surprised at my answer, but otherwise, happy. "Okay! Is there anything that you need? Like a craving? Pregnant girls do get those, right?"

"Yes, Michael," I answered in amusement. "I am hungry for a snack, I guess, like cottage cheese, fruit, oooh, and pistachios sprinkled on top." Just saying that made my mouth water.

"But I thought you hate cottage cheese..." He was confused.

"I do and I know it's weird, but it's just what I want." I shrugged.

"Okay. I can go get that for you because, as you can see, I am a responsible adult and father now!" Michael left the bedroom to get my snack and I just rolled my eyes and shook my head.

Later around dinner time, that's when we went out on our double date. I never even did this with Eric before. That had to have mean something, right?

We all dressed nicely in our outfits. Jackie and I wore dresses and Steven and Michael wore handsome suits.

"This has got to be one of the weirdest dates I went on." My brother frowned looking a bit disturbed.

"How so?" I asked.

"C'mon, can't you see it? I'm dating Kelso's ex and my girlfriend's ex knocked up my sister. It's like hillbilly central over here."

"Oh, Steven," I rolled my eyes. "Just forget about it. Imagine as if there were no previous connections."

"Yeah, we've all moved on," Jackie agreed. "Let's talk about something else like..." She was thinking about a new topic to discuss. "Have you found a new place yet?"

"No, I'm still looking. We're getting two bedrooms, but the baby will sleep with me so, Steven, if you're interested, the bedroom can be yours," Then I quickly added cause I know he doesn't like charity. "Just saying..."

"Rooming in with you and two crying and pooping babies, oh boy!" Steven remarked sarcastically which Jackie slapped his arm for his rude attitude.

"Two babies? We're going to have one baby," Michael stupidly corrected him. "I hope."

"He meant you too, Michael," I said being irritated not at him, but at my brother. "It was just an offer, Steven. You know what? Forget it."

"Yeah, Steven," Jackie said to him. "It wouldn't kill you to get out of the Formans house and live on your own even if it's with your sister and your niece."

"Niece?" I was confused. "I'm still very early on in my pregnancy. I don't even know if I'm going to have a boy or a girl yet."

"Oh, it's a girl," Jackie was convinced of her prediction as if it was a fact. "I would know. My psychic told me. I'm going to make her fall in love with me and be the best aunt ever. I'm so going to be her favorite aunt than Donna."

"You know, I thought about it and I changed my mind," Steven said. "I'll move in with you guys. As long as I don't have to hear you two having sex!"

"Then you want to buy yourself a pair of headphones." Michael joked and laughed making Steven kick his legs under the table. "Ow!" He whined in pain.

"And that I don't have to do any baby stuff." Steven grumbled.

"You'll have to bond with my baby soon, Uncle Steven." I teased his new title.

"Yeah, it can be good practice for you when we get married and have kids." Jackie said optimistically.

"Who says that's going to happen?" Steven turned his head to her and she was shocked and hurt. His expression was unreadable being zen. But I knew he never had that on his mind before.

"Don't you want that with me?"

Michael and I exchanged glances at each other because we both sensed a fight coming on between them.

"Hey, guys, this is supposed to be a romantic date, alright?" Michael told them having Steven and Jackie looked away from each other.

"Fine." The other couple grumbled.

The date still went on as being normal despite what just happened.

To my surprise and horror, Michael decided to become a cadet at the Police Academy. That seemed like a job I definitely wouldn't trust him with, but he was very serious and eager to do it that I didn't protest.

Red had to educate Fez on American history so he can pass his exam to become a legal American citizen which he did pass it thankfully. And he was still Laurie's husband, too, even though that was fake, but they wanted to work it out. That was shocking from Laurie. She hated her own failed relationships and was done with men and seemed to settle with Fez.

At twelve weeks pregnant, my doctor let me know that my next appointment was when I can hear the baby's heartbeat. That sounded like it'll be really cute and interesting. Kitty helped me be there with me for my other appointments, but I thought of Michael if he wanted to go the basement when it was just us, I talked to Michael about it as we sat on the couch.

"So, I have a doctor's appointment soon and I was wondering if you'd like to go. We can hear the baby's heartbeat." I smiled at that and was very excited.

"Seriously?" Michael was intrigued and I nodded. "I'm in!"

"Really?" I was surprised and he made it this far to be committed. "Thank you, Michael, that means a lot," I looked at him fondly. "Maybe you are changing and growing up. Joining the police may be questionable, but I like it. You seem really passionate about it."

"Yeah, I am. There's this girl, Suzy, and she's one of my classmates at the Police Academy and she made a pass at me."

I gave him a tight smile as my eyes send him daggers. "Uh huh."

It's because of the random girl that was into Michael. I'm always getting jealous and protective over him lately and I didn't know if it was just me or the hormones. I just didn't want Michael to leave me for another girl and I hate that girl whoever made any kind of pass at him.

"But, don't worry, I didn't do anything!" He assured. "I can't help what this gorgeous face does to women! I think she was into me and Fez, but then Laurie got jealous and-"

"Wait," I stopped him. "Laurie got jealous?"

"Yeah. I couldn't believe it either. Laurie and Suzy almost got into a cat fight at The Hub until Fez had to be stupid and stop them," He rolled his eyes in annoyance. "He chose to be with Laurie."

"So, Fez and Laurie are getting pretty serious with each other and their marriage, huh?" I couldn't believe that.

"Yeah, I guess," He shrugged. "When is your appointment?"

"Tomorrow." I answered.

"We can use the van to get there. I wonder what the baby's heart sounds like?" He said thoughtfully.

"I don't know. From what I read, it can sound like a bird-"

"Like a pterodactyl?!" Michael asked excitedly and I couldn't help to smile in amusement at his lovable stupidity.

Lovable stupidity? I would've never called it like that before...

Oh, god. I really was starting to love him.

"No," I giggled. "It's more of a hummingbird sound."

"Oh. A pterodactyl wouldn't been a lot cooler." He muttered.

The next day was the appointment with my OBGYN. The doctor went over my personal stuff such as my health history and other blood tests. Then the exciting time finally came when Michael and I can hear our baby's heartbeat.

"Are you two young parents ready to hear your baby's heartbeat?" The doctor asked.

"Yes!" We eagerly answered.

The doctor heard the baby's heartbeat and told us it was very healthy and normal which was good signs. He gave the stethoscope to me and instructed me what to do. I put the earpieces inside my ears and he placed the chest piece on where it should properly go onto my belly. Then I heard my baby's heartbeat. It sounded like flutters.

I became emotional at hearing it and started to cry.

"What's wrong?" Michael got worried and he panicked. "Can't she hear it?"

"I can and it's beautiful," I passed the earpiece to him so he can listen. "You can hear it, too."

The chest piece was still at the same area as Michael listened.

"Wow..." He was in awe. "Now this is pretty cool."

A few weeks later, I opened the basement's door and walked in after working at The Sizzler, I returned to the Formans downstairs since that's where everybody would be. I opened the door and Steven, Jackie, Fez, and Michael was there.

And Michael looked extremely hot and sexy wearing his police jacket...

Ugh! What's wrong with me? I have to keep my hormones in check and calm myself down!

"Hey, Michael, how did your Penal Test go?" I asked him.

Suddenly, Steven and Fez burst out into laughter and even Jackie was trying not to. But I knew what they were laughing at.

"Grow up!" I barked at them and looked at Michael.

"I did great! I got another B!" He smiled.

"Oh, wow, that's your fourth B in a row!" I grinned. "Honestly, I didn't expect that of you."

"You don't really have to expect anything from him." Steven said and I gave him a look for that.

"I'm really proud of you. Can I see it?"

"Uhhh, you could, but I didn't write anything down cause the test was oral."

"Oral test on the Penal Code!" Steven laughed and so did Fez and Jackie.

Michael and I just looked at their immaturity.

"Okay, that's fine," I said to him. "So, are you free this afternoon? I thought maybe we could do something like-"

"Go-carting?" He excitedly interrupted.

"No," I answered. "I found an apartment I want to check out and I think it might be the one. I have an appointment with the real estate agent today. Want to go?"

"Oh, sure," It looked like Michael didn't expect that. "Can we go go-carting after?"

"No."

That made him bummed.

"Oh..."

"Why didn't you ask me to go too?" Steven asked a little offended.

I shrugged. "I didn't think you'd care. Do you?"

"You're right. I don't." He casually replied, leaning comfortably back in his seat.

"So, I'll meet you outside?" I said expectantly to Michael and gave a quick kiss to him before I left. "Bye, guys." I waved to them and walked outside.

Michael and I went to the appointment for our apartment hunt. The real estate agent was very nice and professional to us and showed everything around. The apartment was in very good shape and affordable that Steven, Michael, and I could chip in to pay for it. I decided that was the perfect apartment and bought it. Michael liked it, too. We'll be moving in a couple of weeks.

After our appointment was done, we got some lunch to eat together and hung out. Then I went to Donna's and was with her in her bedroom. She was really happy about her and Eric dating again and I was happy for them, too. They didn't bother me that much being together anymore because, honestly, I was growing more and more in love with my baby to care about anyone else.

"Eric and I are really trying a new and fresh start and we're doing great. I want us to take it slow and that means no sex for a while. I just want us to be extremely careful and not get into your situation. No offense."

"I understand. It's better to be safe than...not like this." I pointed at my round twenty week pregnant belly.

"I still can't believe you're dating Kelso." Donna said in disbelief with a shake of her head. She was sitting on her bed and I sat on her desk chair. Sitting on beds made my back uncomfortable with this pregnancy.

"Me neither. Years ago, if you would've told me I was dating Michael Kelso, I would've laughed at your face," I smiled brightly as I talked about him. "Now, look at him. He's joining the police force which I'm still very scared and nervous about, but he's taking it serious for once. And he got a B on his Penal Test so that's, like, his fourth B in a row!"

"Rachel, you can't honestly believe that Kelso got four B's," Donna said as if she wasn't dumb. "You know how poorly he did at school. It's a miracle he was able to graduate."

"Maybe he really changed, Donna," I shrugged. "I think he did anyway."

"You know, at the radio station, we had a news report that there was a fire explosion at the Police Academy." She informed.

My eyes widened in shock and I got worried. "What? Oh my god, I hope Michael is okay. Did you know anything else about it?"

"No, I didn't hear much about it. You should go check with Kelso about it. You know he loves his fires." She made a half smile.

"Are you implying that Michael did it?" I got defensive as I crossed my arms.

"C'mon, Rachel, you know all the stupid things that Kelso is capable of. Don't forget he is the king!" She pointed out.

"You're right, but I will talk to him about it."

After we're done talking, I returned to the Formans and was hanging out in the kitchen with Michael, Jackie, Steven, and Fez as I ate popcorn.

"So, I heard the police academy got caught on fire," I mentioned to Michael. "What happened?"

"Huge mystery," He shook his head as he drank root beer. "Like what part of the cow is the hot dog?"

I gave him a weird look since hot dogs came from pigs obviously.

"Maybe Kelso is just too traumatized to remember," Steven said. "I think he needs help filling in the blanks like ummm...the fire was started with a blank gun by a blanking idiot named blank-o."

I was suspicious of what's going on, but I quickly put two and two together.

"Uh, hey, Rachel? Can you wait outside for a minute? I promise it'll be real quick."

"Okay." I replied and know what they're probably going to talk about.

"Atta girl."

Before I walked out of the sliding door, Steven asked me. "Why won't you just dump him already?"

I glared at him and threw pieces of popcorn at his face and walked outside closing the sliding door behind me. I waited for Michael and finished off my popcorn and threw it in the trash at the can.

At The Hub, Michael and I shared fries and we both had a coke. It was just the two of us and that was nice for a change.

"Rachel, I gotta tell you something. I burnt down the Police Academy Auditorium." Michael confessed.

I had to chuckle. "I should've known..."

"See, this flare just got away from me and then there was another flare that was on purpose, but a bad idea, and a final warning flare that I now realize was unnecessary because the fire itself was a pretty big flare." He explained.

"I figured it out it was you because of Steven. I just didn't want to believe it-"

"Rachel, I'm really sorry that I disappointed you-"

"You didn't disappoint me, Michael," I took his hand and rubbed my thumb over his knuckles. "I like it that you were honest with me."

"Speaking of honesty, I didn't get four B's..." He looked down about it and embarrassed.

"I figured that, too, eventually."

"I just really wanted to impress you and prove that I've matured and changed and that I am father material."

"You're all those things, Michael. You've proved that to me. Nobody had gone such great lengths to impress me like that," Our eyes had connected and I just had to tell him. "Michael, I love you. Believe me, I never ever thought I would, but-"

He cut me off by kissing my lips and I kissed him back with my hands holding onto his face. After we kissed, our foreheads was barely touching.

Then Michael softly said another confession. "I love you, too."

Author's Note: I ship Fez with Laurie so there's going to be some of that in this story. I also ship Fez with Big Rhonda, but mostly Laurie. I still wish the show would've made them be an actual couple, but whatever. Hope you liked this chapter and please review! :)
