A/N So Hyde and Jackie finally see each other, of course sparks are going to fly and not the good kind.

Chapter 10

Hyde woke up with a killer hangover, too keep from his mind from reeling last night over the thought of seeing Jackie again today he had hit the bottles hard last night, trying to drive out thoughts of Jackie from his brain. It really didn't work, his dreams were plagued with memories of her and strange enough what could only be a future thoughts with her. He had to brace himself, over the week he had been able to play off his original plan with the others to apologize, while inside rage was growing. She leaves him with a big secret and only leaves a letter? She should have told him about her parents. He couldn't wait to get her alone and confront her. He would just have to play nice till he could get her alone, she should know him by now if he was going to talk about feelings he wouldn't do it in front of others so he figured she would be ok with waiting till they were alone.

Fifteen minutes after they were supposed to leave Jackie finally shows up with everyone waiting in the driveway. "Sorry I am late, there was some traffic from an accident this morning on my way here."

Hyde wouldn't buy her lie, but had to remember to keep calm and zen, of course she was late, she was the one that said to always be fashionably late to make an entrance. But no need for him to day anything Donna said it for him, "Of course we had to wait on the princess that can never be on time"

She was cut off by Red, "Well she's here now everyone get their asses in the car or we leave you here."

Red and Kitty got in the front seat of the Vista Cruiser, Jackie noticed that Kitty got in the middle and motioned for her to sit next to her. Steven, Donna and Randy sat in the back seat and Fez climbed into the very back, "Oh so the foreigner sits in the back by himself no one sits with Fez"

"Can it Tanto of you sit tied to the roof"

The tension was already thick, Kitty reached over and grabbed Jackie's hand and gave her a little squeeze. Jackie gave the older woman a smile.

Donna started with the interrogation of where and what Jackie had been doing "So Jackie where did you run off to, couldn't even tell anyone that you was leaving or where you were going?"

"I did tell the ones that mattered where I was, I have been staying with some friends out of town, got a good job so I have been busy building a new life away from here."

Kitty had hoped that would be the end of it or that maybe Steven would step in and put a stop to this, but he didn't

Donna continued, "Wow you have other friends? I didn't know that you knew anyone besides us or anyone else would put up with you?"

Red was ready to throw the fake blond out of the car right then, he pulled over and slammed on the brakes and everyone jolted forward "That is enough! You leave her alone or so help me you would wish I would only put my foot up your ass" Everyone was in shock, yea they knew Red liked Jackie, but he had never threatened any of the girls with the foot in the ass. The rest of the ride was quiet, everyone was scared to speak after that.

As they started getting out of the car, Fez came up to Jackie and gave her a hug and pulled her away from everyone. "I am so glad you are here, I have missed you, I am sorry for not being a good friend, so much has changed" Jackie could see the sadness in his eyes.

"I am sorry I left like I did, I needed to get away and I didn't want to have you try to keep where I was a secret from everyone, plus you are not the best at keeping secrets"

"This is true, so where have you been?"

"Didn't I just tell you that you can't keep a secret?"

"Well I thought now that you are back it wouldn't matter?"

"I am back for the day, I don't know if I am going to stay or what right now, so where I am living is remaining a secret."

"OK I don't understand, now that Sam is gone why you can't come back?"

"Fez, didn't you hear, I have no home here anymore. My father made sure of that. At least where I am I have a place that I am welcome in and a decent job that I am really liking, I have made friends with several co-workers."

"We miss you, I hope you know that, Hyde is not the same since you have been gone."

"Why does it matter to you? Eric told me you are moving back home after the first of the year?"

"I am thinking about it, but if you moved back I might stay, so much has changed right now my friends are not the same people I met in high school. Everyone is leaving me behind, so maybe it's time for me to go home"

"Oh Fezzy I am sorry," Jackie pulled Fez into a hug, despite the many layers it didn't keep Fez from feeling Jackie's stomach and a kick.

"What the hell!" Fez's eyes got wide, "Did something kick me? Why is your stomach round?"

Jackie panicked threw her hand over Fez's mouth looked around to make sure the gang was nowhere to be seen and when she didn't see anyone looked at Fez, prayed quietly that the loud mouth no secret keeping foreigner would keep at least one secret.

"You can't tell anyone, but I am pregnant. I have been trying to tell Steven since before Chicago" She slumped down on a bench "everything just keeps falling apart. I hope I can talk to him today. I just want him to choose me for me and not because of the baby, if that is the only reason he wants to be with me, it's not going to work." A tear slips out, she had a feeling today this would be filled with more tears.

Fez sat beside her reached up and wiped her cheeks, "My goddess, I can't leave here now, you are going to need me. I'll be there for you."

Jackie looked up and smiled, "Thanks Fezzy, you are always needed. Now I need to find Steven, I know he wanted to talk to me, that is what he told Kitty, but I know he won't want an audience when he does" She leaned in and gave Fez a kiss on his cheek. "Now remember to keep this quiet, or I'll tell Red if you let anyone know, he's always looking for a reason to put his foot up your ass" Jackie gave him an evil smile, stood up and walked off to find Steven.

Steven had seen Fez take Jackie and talk to her, he left to let them catch up, and he needed a drink before he talked to her. He couldn't believe how big of bitch Donna was on the way there. As soon as they all got out of the car she and Randy took off. Red had gave him a glare why Kitty gave him a hopeful smile. If things went the way he was thinking it was going to be an even longer ride home than it was here. He found a beer tent near a pond got a beer and sat down. He was already on his 3rd beer before Jackie found him and sat down.

Jackie sighed as she found him in the beer tent drinking, wasn't this what got him in his mess to begin with, was he going to apologize for how he had treated her? She wasn't ready for the fight that was to come. She went over and sat down, "I came because Kitty said you really wanted to talk to me. So here I am, I heard you've been looking for me?"

He looked up at her, drinking as fast as he had was already giving him a buzz. "Yea I was until I had a little visit with your old man last week, he told me your secret, so is that why you left? So you could get in good graces with daddy again?"

Jackie was taken back, secret? As far as she knew her dad had no clue as to her secret. No one she was in contact with would get word back to her father in prison. "I have no idea what you are talking about, my parents both wrote me out of their lives for good, and I really could care less about ever talking to either of them again!" Jackie was furious she didn't want anyone to let her father know anything about her, Steven never offered to go with her when she would visit when they were together, but now he reaches out to the man. "What are you trying to get in good graces with Edna? Is that why you have started drinking like a fish, maybe mommy will come back to you and be your drinking buddy?" She knew she had pushed too far, both of them had parental issues, but while Hyde had the Foremans and even now WB, she still had no one, of course now she had WB but he didn't know that.

"What I was going to say when I found out my ex left me because her parents had issue with the color of my real dad's skin! And she never bothered to tell me that was the reason! So I started again, why not. It doesn't matter I now have my own record store, now that you know I am half black you find a way to leave me! I loved you, I wanted to marry you"

Jackie was shocked at his declaration, what she had always wanted to hear, but her heart broke, he was speaking in past tense. "You seriously think that is why I left? I left because you could never tell me what you just said, those were the words I waited 2 years for. If my parents could turn their backs on me for who I love then I don't need them. They never loved me and that proved it to me. They only cared about their reputations, even after my father goes to prison he worries about his tarnished reputation of his daughter with someone whose father is black, what a joke he is"

Steven was taken back, that wasn't what he was expecting, now he didn't know what to say. He looked at Jackie, she was flush with anger he wasn't sure how much was directed to him and how much to her parents at the moment. Jackie was starting to stand up, he knew she would leave again and this time she might never return. He knew despite the emotions this past week he still loved her, that is why he felt like he had this week. He took off his glasses and sat them on the table and reached out to grab her hand, "Jackie I am sorry I should have talked to you, I thought that…I don't know what to think anymore, but please don't leave"

As he let go of her arm, she saw his eyes clearly, they looked like they did back when he told her about the nurse, a rush of emotions was going through her at the time. She could feel her heart beat increasing, she knew she had high levels of stress, she needed to calm down. She didn't need to get stressed, she had been so good since she left and went to Milwaukee. The tent was getting stuffy with the heaters and she needed air, now was not the time to take off her coat. "I have to get some air" and she ran out of the tent.

She wasn't looking where she was going and didn't notice the pond right there and went straight in, Steven was right behind her and watched helplessly as she went into the ice cold pond "JACKIE!" and he went in after her, she had lost conscious others around was there to help him get her out of the pond, he looked up and saw Fez. (yea the sneaky foreigner had heard the whole conversation, hiding in the background like he always had) "Fez get the Formans!" Paramedics that were nearby took Jackie from his arms and blankets were thrown over the both of them, before he knew what was happening ambulances where pulled up and Jackie was being put on a gurney just ask Red and Kitty ran over.

Kitty was frantic, this was not how the day was supposed to go, Steven was fighting the paramedics around him wanting to check on Jackie, but they were trying to make sure he was OK and get him warm. Kitty went to the guys loading Jackie into the ambulance, "This is my daughter and I am a nurse at Point Place General, can I ride with you there, that way I can fill you in on her medical records?" She knew she needed to let them know about the baby so they could treat her properly and save them both. They told her to get in and before everyone knew what was happening the first ambulance took off.

Steven was still fighting the paramedics until Red came up to him, "Steven calm down get in that ambulance, Kitty is with Jackie and if you calm down you can be right behind them." Steven climbed into the ambulance. As it was pulling away Red turned to Fez, "Fez go get Donna and hair boy and meet us at the car"
