"Oh, yes, Steven! I will marry you!" Jackie responded as her eyes sparkled with tears. We all celebrated as Steven gave Jackie the ring and put it on her finger. Then they embraced and kissed each other deeply. I got off from Michael and he got up from the chair like everyone else to be happy and cheer for the newly engaged couple.

I wiped my own eyes that my brother's proposal was successful. My brother finally found true love for him. Jackie said yes to him! Looks like Barbie was going to be my new sister-in-law.

"Did Jackie say yes?!" Kitty asked standing on the stairs eagerly looking at us. "Oh, please, tell me she said yes!"

"Jackie said yes, Mrs. Forman!" I answered as I still wiped a few of tears that fell from my eyes. Michael's arm wrapped around my shoulders to comfort me and I moved closer to him.

After Kitty yelled at Red and Laurie to come downstairs because Jackie accepted Steven's proposal, she was the first one to hurry down to us and congratulate them. Kitty and Steven hugged each other and told him how proud she was. She did the same to Jackie. I knew Kitty loved Steven and Jackie as if they were her own children and including myself, too. Even Red congratulated them.

Fez walked to his wife's side and put an arm around her waist. Laurie had her arms crossed. Even though she turned to the good side, the evil glint in her eyes was still there. I knew her and Steven was going to have their infamous comebacks.

"I didn't think it was possible, but it looks like you managed to find someone to stick around with you, orphan boy."

Steven smirked at her. "I can say the same thing about you."

Laurie rolled her eyes and talked with Fez. Jackie was loving the attention that she got from everyone.

"You know, I got an apartment and we can live there together. So, we can have all of the sex we want!" Fez happily told her.

"What?" Red's harsh snap made Fez cower under his glare and narrowed eyes. He was still scared of him.

"Oh, Daddy, we're married! We can do that now!"

"You've been doing that long before you got married. Good thing you didn't have an actual wedding ceremony with the white gown because that virgin ship had sailed."

Laurie glared at Steven and couldn't think of a good burn to throw back at him. Probably because Red was around. She still had to portray herself as 'Daddy's little girl' even though Red knew the truth about her since he caught her with a guy at an apartment.

"Well, that's great, Fez, because I finally got my license so I'm an official masseuse!" She proudly announced with a grin.

"Not only have you slept with half of the male population in Wisconsin, you will give them happy endings, too." Steven remarked.

"I think you have mistaken me for your Mom." She quipped.

"Burn!" Michael shouted, laughing. I rolled my eyes and shook my head at him.

Then Jackie excitedly came to me nearly bouncing on her feet after talking with Donna, Eric, and Kitty.

"Rachel, do you know what this means?"

"That your dream finally came true?"

"No - well, yes, but we're going to become sisters now!" She squealed and hugged me tightly.

"Yay." I tried to share the same enthusiasm as she was squeezing me to death.


Not only did Steven and Jackie get engaged, Eric was going to teach in Africa for a year so he could have money for college. Which may have put some damage for his and Donna's relationship. I couldn't believe Eric was totally serious about leaving to Africa just for teaching. But at least he's proud about it and happy that he's doing something with his life.

Just like all of us was.

"Hey, there's my working kids." William walked into Grooves one day lovingly smiling at the three of us. Angie got up from the couch after she finished applying a second coat of dark purple nail polish.

"Hi, Daddy," Angie greeted being sweet to him. "Steven has very good news that happened to him and Jackie."

"Oh, really?" He was interested and looked at my brother. "What is it, son?"

"Jackie and I are engaged." Steven proudly announced and I knew he was fighting to not make a huge grin.

"Really? That's wonderful news, Steven! Congratulations!" William hugged and friendly patted him on the back. He turned to me. "How are things with you and Michael, Rachel? He didn't propose to you yet, did he?"

"No, he didn't." I answered. But I wouldn't mind if Michael had done that. I secretly wanted him to.

"What about my grandson? How's he doing? Keeping you busy on your feet?"

"Oh, yeah, he is," I nodded, smiling thinking about my baby. "He's really a Kelso."

"I wanted to talk to you kids," William started seriously in a very business-like manner. "All of you are doing a fine job running this store."

"Does this mean a promotion?" Angie asked curiously. "Cause it kinda sounds like a promotion."

"Yes, it is," All three of us was very invested and intrigued with what he had to say next and who he was going to give the promotion to. "I've thought about my decision long and hard about who I should give it to. So, I'm giving the promotion to Rachel," He happily clapped me on the back and put an arm around my shoulders while I just stood there in disbelief at him. "You're going to help run the corporate office in Milwaukee."

"What?!" All three of us shouted, but my small and shocked voice was drowned out by my other two irritated siblings.

"But, Daddy, why not me?" Angie was disappointed with a pout.

"Or me?" Steven asked feeling rejected. He worked hard just as much as any of us.

"I know you kids do a great job. But I also know that you are just dying to get your hands on my money and you're dating a boy that doesn't have a very good reputation according to Steven and Rachel." He disapproved making Angie look guilty, especially at the Casey part.

"And it's not like you know anything about music. Last week a guy came in asking for KISS, you called him 'pervert' and slapped him in the face." Steven recalled.

"I sold more records than you, too." I pointed out.

"But I still remember that the top selling record this week is Blondie." Angie said in her defense.

"Not that I appreciate it, but why did you give the promotion to me?" I asked William being confused. I have never received something this huge before for a job.

"I know you need it and it'll benefit you and your family. You want to give a good life for your son, and you work hard, so this would really help you out. The money will be great to support your family," He looked at Steven. "You're moving along well, too, now that you're engaged. How's Jackie's job doing for her?"

"Well, now that I think about it, a TV producer called her and said he loved her show. He offered her a job in Chicago." Steven remembered.

"Seriously?" I was surprised. This was the first time I've heard the news.

"Yeah," He nodded. "She thought about taking it, but we didn't know what to do with the engagement and my job being here. The station will need an answer on Sunday."

"I do have more Grooves chains in Illinois and Chicago just happened to be one of them. I'll put in a good word for you and you can apply for a job there so you can be with your fiancé."

Steven was touched and couldn't believe it. Neither did I. "Really? Thanks, man."

"Yeah, I can organize pretty much anything. You can do a lot when you have tons of money." He chuckled.

"What about me?" Angie asked feeling left out.

"If Jackie does accept the job offer for Chicago, you can be the owner of the store."

She grinned and squealed. "Really?! Oh, thank you, Daddy!" She hugged him. "I really hope Jackie takes the job...because I do want what's best for her." Angie quickly added that part, but Steven and I knew she really wanted to be the owner of Grooves. I didn't blame her. That did sound really cool.

When it was closing time, Angie left first so she can go to Casey. I was about to go, too, but talked to Steven about what just happened.

"So...I got promotion for Milwaukee." I was still in awe and disbelief. I couldn't get over it.

"I always knew you'd be the first out of the two of us to leave this damn place," Steven said. "Now, you need to go tell Kelso."

"Yeah, I'm not sure how he's going to handle this. He's a cop, and that's scary, because, you know, it's Michael Kelso. I still don't trust him with a gun. But he could work at a different police station or do something in Milwaukee. We'll raise Matthew there and still be a family. And you and Jackie might move to Chicago. Eric's going to leave for Africa. We're all going places, moving up in our lives. We're really adults now."

My heart constricted at the thought of us leaving and going different ways. I didn't want to leave all of my friends behind. But it's the part of life, I guess.

"Yeah, we are," Steven reflected. "But if Jackie and I do move to Chicago and you and Kelso are going to move to Milwaukee, I'll always keep in touch with you."

"You better." I teased.

"And Angie, too, but you and I were raised together. We've been a lot closer and went through a lot more crap together. I don't know what I'd do without you."

I tried not to cry at his words. "Me neither."

We hugged each other. Ready to take on the real world and whatever else life throws at us.


At home, Michael and I made love before we had to go pick up Matthew at the Formans since we were at work. We made sure that Steven and Jackie wasn't here and they weren't. Michael and I was laying on our backs while naked underneath the covers after we were done. We panted trying to catch our breaths.

"So, I have something to tell you..." I began, turning on my side to face him.

He turned his head to me with a bit of fear. "You're not pregnant again, are you?"

"No," I said with annoyance. After I gave birth to Matthew, we made sure to use protection a lot more often. "WB gave me a promotion today."

He smiled and kissed me. "Hey, that is good news. Is that why you threw me into bed?" That smirk was on his face.

"Me?" I raised an eyebrow at his accusation. "You're the one who went straight for my pants. Not even when the coast was clear," Michael grinned at that not caring he was guilty. I rolled my eyes at him. "Anyway, I got a promotion to work at Milwaukee. That means we'll have to move. Are you okay about doing that?"

"Rachel, that's completely fine with me. I'm happy for you that you're moving up in the business world. This will mean a lot for our little family and if you want to have anymore children with me and...and get married." He nervously added that part because the first time he proposed to me, I rejected it. I wasn't ready at the time, but now, I was.

"I would love to have more children with you someday in the future, Michael, and be married to you."

His eyes widened, not expecting that. "You do? You want to marry me?"

"Yes," I felt myself smiling wider because I confessed it for the first time being open and honest. "But after Steven and Jackie's wedding is done. I don't want to steal their thunder right now. Jackie would be happy for us if we're engaged, too, but probably wouldn't forgive me if the attention was stolen from her," I chuckled at predicting her reaction. "We can just pretend that we're engaged right now. Keep it a secret between us."

"Okay," Then a sexy smirk appeared on his face with lustful eyes and seductively said. "Let's pretend that we're married and are on our honeymoon."

Later, around in the evening, I made dinner for everyone. Matthew was home with us after Michael and I picked him up from the Formans. I already breastfed him and he was in his crib close to me at the table. He was making cute noises to himself while we ate.

"Hey, Jackie, I don't know if Steven have told you this, but WB gave me a promotion." I announced to her and couldn't help to smile wider.

"Really?" Jackie got happy for me with a smile of her own spreading onto her face. "That's great news, Rachel!"

"Yeah, but I have to move to Milwaukee where I'll work at one of his corporate offices." I was still thrilled about it, but was hesitant about her reaction. Her face fell a little that I was going to move away.

"You're going to move? And are you going with her?" Jackie asked, turning her head to my boyfriend.

"Yep. We're a team so wherever she goes, I go." He proudly said and looked at me lovingly. I tried not to blush under his gaze.

"This changes everything, doesn't it?" Jackie said to herself. "A TV producer offered me a job at Chicago and I wasn't sure if I should take it or not."

"Steven told me about that. You should take it, Jackie," I encouraged. "It'll be a great opportunity."

"That's what I told you, doll," Steven looked at her. "WB said he'd make arrangements for me to get another job at the store in Chicago. So, we don't have to worry about that. We can get married there if that's also what you're worried about."

Jackie looked at him seriously. "I know we're having a future together, it's why I was so conflicted. You really wouldn't mind us moving to Chicago?"

"No," He shook his head. "You should follow your dreams. We're a team. Wherever you go, I go." He used what Michael recently said and truly meant it.

She looked at Michael and I sadly, her eyes flickering back and forth at us. "But you guys are going to leave, too. We'll be separated..."

I grabbed her hand for comfort when she set her fork down on the table. Her dark brown eyes met mine. "We'll visit each other. I promise."

Jackie smiled at me, her eyes beaming.

"So...is this really it?" Michael asked us. "We're all going to move?"

"Yeah, sounds like it." Steven answered.

"But I need to make the call to the producer first." Jackie pointed out.

"Go do it!" I urgently encouraged her and so did the guys.

She immediately got up and grabbed the phone to call the producer right away. Jackie talked to him for some minutes and then hung up, grinning excitedly.

"Well?" Steven got up from his chair, approaching to her, silently wondering what the response was.

"He said he wants me to start working next Monday!" Jackie happily announced, squealing.

Steven hugged her and kissed her. Michael and I hugged Jackie, too, congratulating her.

Things was finally starting to look up for all of us.


Author's Note: I changed some things around for what was originally on the show. Rachel and Kelso's going to Milwaukee and Hyde and Jackie are going to Chicago together. For some reason, I thought it would suit Laurie being a masseuse lol. This story is going to be almost over soon with a couple of chapters left, unfortunately. I hope you guys are still enjoying this story. Don't forget to please leave a review! :)
