Chapter 36

January seemed to fly by for everyone, Brook was finally moving back to Point Place with Betsey. Jackie had convinced Steven into the two of them keeping Betsey for the weekend while Michael and Brook got everything moved. Steven decided it was better spending the day with Jackie and Betsey than helping Michael move. They were waiting for Fez to drop off Betsey, he had been down to visit Laurie, actually it was the first time he visited with Red and Kitty. They were surprised that Red and Kitty was with Fez when he came by with Betsey.

Steven went and opened the door for the group, "I wasn't expecting all of you to show up"

Kitty walked over with Betsey while Red and Fez carried in her things, "Well we decided it didn't make since to have us take two vehicles and or have Fez drive all this way with the baby."

Steven looking at all the things they were bringing in, "Guys we are only having her for the weekend, and we have baby things."

Jackie took Betsey from Kitty and held her in what was left of her lap, "Steven Betsey sleeps better in with her own things."

"Are you telling me Brook hauled all this to Milwaukee earlier this month for one night?" he looked at Jackie

"Yes, and she was alone with Betsey."

Steven helped Red and Fez get Betsey set up in the nursery, "Steven before we go down, Pam called last night."

Steven didn't say anything he just dropped down and sat on the floor, Fez also took a seat on the floor, he had already talked to Red and Kitty on the way down to Chicago that morning. Red took a seat in the rocker and faced Steven. "She got the picture, and well she isn't too happy, but from what I take it she didn't noticed Jackie is pregnant. She said she needed to find her daughter and help her get an annulment. She found the perfect man for her. I told her I wasn't giving her any information on you two. As far as Jackie was concerned, we might want to tell her, Michael suggested she see about a restraining order, he thinks there is enough there for one, but she will have to file it, we can't do it for her"

"Brother Pam might be hot but she is a bitch for how she has treated you and Jackie, we have your back on this."

"Do you know where she called from, if she is in the country or what? I know Jackie just sent the picture to a lawyer and he forwarded it to her mom and another to her dad"

"What picture?" Fez asked

"From the wedding, before we left here for the reception, me and Jackie with Dad and Angie"

"Oh good burn"

"Yea, but now maybe we shouldn't have done anything"

"You can't blame Jackie for wanting to let her parents know she has her own life with you, and she doesn't really care what they think"

"Maybe it would be best if you guys were here and tell her"

"Ok let's get this over with, Kitty is down there no telling what she is doing, I want to get home"

Jackie had a sleeping Betsey beside her on the couch. She was so proud that while they were upstairs her and Kitty had fixed a bottle for Betsey and fed her and got her changed and asleep. Jackie was beaming, "I got her fed, changed and asleep Kitty just walked me through it!"

"Good for you Doll" Steven sat down beside her on the couch, Kitty was nowhere to be seen, Fez sat down on the arm of the couch by Betsey and Red sat in the easy chair.

"Where is Kitty?"

"She is in the kitchen heating up some leftovers, she said you guys hadn't had dinner, and we have plenty"

Kitty came back into the living room, "well it should be ready in 5 minutes or so, Jackie it already smells wonderful"

"Kitty sit for a bit, Jackie I need to let you know your mother called she got your picture and wedding announcement, she demanded that I tell her where you were and that she was going to get this farce annulled. I didn't tell her anything other than I wasn't going to tell her anything she was asking for. She didn't seem to notice that you're pregnant. But she said she has your husband lined up for you."

"Yea right she is going to find me someone that will take care of her I'm sure."

Steven had moved to be able to hold her, "She can't do anything, you are 18 almost 19 and I am not letting you go"

Red looked at the two he thought of his own, "Michael said you could possibly filed an protective order against her and that might help, we could try if we find out the name of this guy she has file one against him as well."

"Babe I don't want you by yourself, if she is going to find us it will be at the Foreman's or at Grooves"

"Well since I am never at Grooves without you that should help."

"Maybe we will come over and visit instead of you coming to our house" Kitty suggested.

Later after everyone left and they got Betsey settled in her bed Steven and Jackie was getting ready for bed. "Maybe I shouldn't have sent them anything, I just wanted them to know they have no say in my life"

Steven took her in his arms, "and they don't, you have your own family now and they've never cared for you growing up you definitely don't need them now."

"I love you and we have a pretty awesome family now, better than we had growing up"

"Our son is going to have two parents that love him and each other, three grandparents and aunts and uncles ready to spoil him"

"Eric just better not be bringing back Jedi robe for him"

"He can't be serious"

"He told me he was thinking about it when he called to let me know he was coming home"

"I'll be glad when he is home for good"

"Yea me too, but we better get some sleep before Betsey wakes us up"

"She is sleeping through the night now isn't she?"

"Yes we are lucky she does now, they don't come out like that"

The weekend went by smoothly as Jackie and Steven played and took care of their goddaughter. Michael and Brook got moved in and Sunday afternoon came over to get Betsey.

"Brook I am so happy to have you and Betsey in Point Place, Steven and I have enjoyed spending time with her"

Brook took Betsey from Jackie and the three sat down in the living room while the guys loaded up Betsey's things. "I am too, it's much quieter here, I like the simple things of this town. Honestly I think mom only wanted to get me there to have distance from Michael and it didn't matter what was best for me and Betsey"

"So how is your mom taking you moving back here and in with Michael?"

"She's doing OK, she didn't like it at first but I told her it was time I made my own decisions for what was best for me and my daughter and I felt it was better to be where I had friends and Michael had family and a job. Michael had looked at moving to Chicago, but he couldn't get on the force there, and the only job offer he had was a strip club, yea I didn't like the idea of that."

"No can't say I blame you there. Now I will have a mom close to my age and we can raise Betsey and Reggie together."

"Reggie?"

"Ooops, now you know before Michael, Reginald William"

"I love it I am guessing after Red and WB?"

"Yea both his grandpas, I had really been thinking about it after I started living with WB, they have been so great to me and Steven, better than my own father, I honestly not sure what I would do to name a girl"

"I named Betsey after my grandmother, it's not used a lot anymore so good chance of being the only one. I think there was 5 Jennifers and 3 Jasons in the nursery when Betsey was born."

"That sounds like trouble when if they are all in school together."

"So Betsey was no trouble this weekend?"

"No we went out yesterday she loved walking around Grooves, I tried different records to get her reaction, she loved Elvis best, even Steven danced with her when we closed. But you better keep that to yourself, he will kill me if Michael found out."

"Well I guess since I don't know much about music and well Michael…you as godparents are responsible for her musical education"

About that time Steven and Michael both came in the living room. "Brook we got everything loaded, so this will be the last load to take care of" Michael plopped down on the couch next to Brook while Steven took his seat in his recliner "I am glad I am off tomorrow, need to recover from this move"

"I guess we were lucky, most of our stuff is new so we just had it delivered, of course having dad set up everything getting moved while we were gone was a big plus" He looked at Jackie, "Babe I hope you like this house, cause I think I'd rather die here than move after hearing him whine and complain about everything, I don't think I could go through that"

Brook got up with Betsey, and grabbed Michael's hand and pulled him up, "Guys you was a big help taking care of her this weekend while we got everything moved, now we get to take her home and try and get her used to her new room and house. Thank you so much"

"Yea I am sure she had more fun with you guys able to move around and such, we would have had to keep her in her play pen out of the way most of the time."

"We were happy to babysit, I was telling Brook we had a blast with her"

After hugs and kisses goodbye from Betsey the house was quiet again. "Let's go take a nap and then I'll take you out for dinner" Steven said as he helped Jackie off the couch.

"Are you going to buy me something shiny?"

"No I was thinking more of the Vineyard, and I'll actually pay so you don't have to sneak out this time."

"I snuck out before you that time"

"Yea, and I was worried about breaking my probation thank you"

"Aw, only because you loved me then" Jackie gave him a quick peck on the lips and started up the stairs. Steven just stood there, he never would have thought back then when he went to jail for her he could be possible married to her and having a baby together, they had both grown up so much since then. He never thought he could really love anyone, and now he couldn't imagine not loving Jackie and the baby they were waiting for. After the weekend with Betsey he was getting more excited to have his own son, he never thought he could be a father, but now he couldn't wait.

AN: Thanks for the reviews, I have the ideas of where I want to go with this story, just the writing process is slower now. I never had an idea of how long the story was going to be and honestly still not sure.
