After a brief nap together Jackie got out of bed and began to get dressed.
The sound of dresser drawers being pulled open awoke Hyde.
"Hey" he said admiringly, as she was standing buck naked.
"Hey yourself" she said quietly, without looking at him.
"Jackie?"
"What?"
"Come here"
She walked over and sat on the bed. He leaned up and kissed her lingeringly on the lips. She pulled away and turned her back.
"What's wrong?" asked Hyde apprehensively.
"Steven, every time we get in a fight we make up with sex." Jackie was quiet for a moment before speaking again. "Steven, this was way more than a fight. You broke up with me." Jackie replied, with pain evident in her voice.
Hyde pulled her around to face him. "Jackie, look at me. I'm sorry. You'll never know how sorry. I panicked. I was afraid we'd end up just like my parents."
Jackie stared at him in shock. "Steven, that's crazy! We are nothing like your parents. I love you so much! I need you to believe that we can get through anything. If you don't, then we're wasting each other's time."
Hyde grabbed her chin and looked directly in her eyes. "I do believe and I'm going to prove it to you." He reached for his pants on the floor and dug out the velvet box out of his pocket. Jackie's eyes began to well up with tears.
"Is that what I think it is?" asked Jackie, not believing her own eyes. He didn't answer and instead reached for her left hand, took the ring out of the box, and looked her deep in the eyes "Jackie, will you marry me?"
"Oh my God, Steven! It's so beautiful!" Jackie exclaimed with shock and joy. Hyde slipped the ring on her finger. "Will you?" he asked nervously, scared to death she would tell him no.
"Yes Steven I will!" Jackie threw her arms around him. She kissed his cheek, his neck, and then his lips and whispered "I love you so much." He whispered back "I love you too, baby." They sat like that for what seemed like hours, holding on to each other for dear life.
After awhile Jackie leaned up and looked at Steven with worry in her eyes.
"Steven, you're not just doing this because of the baby, are you?" Her voice began to break, on the verge of tears.
He shook his head vehemently. "Jackie! No! I bought this ring before I even knew about the baby. You believe me, don't you?"
She looked at him and saw the sincerity in his eyes. "Yes Steven, I believe you."
"Ok then. We've got a lot to get done today. We need to get a marriage license and get blood tests done."
Jackie looked at him with shock. "You want to get married here?"
"Yes, I don't want to wait. I want us to get married as soon as possible. We can have a reception or something when we get back home. Its not like either of us have much family to think about. The sooner we're married the better." answered Hyde.
"Because of the baby?"
"A little bit, but mainly because I want you to be mine legally." said Hyde with total sincerity.
"Oh Steven!" Jackie kissed him passionately on the mouth.
A little bit later they were both dressed and sitting on the couch with Jennifer. Hyde had just finished telling Jennifer of his intentions towards Jackie. Jennifer was shocked but happy for them. This was the happiest she had ever seen Jackie and she could tell by seeing them together that they loved each other very much.
Hyde called the court house and arranged for them to be married the next day at 1pm. They went out and had their blood tests done, obtained a marriage license, and bought matching wedding bands. Jackie borrowed a cream colored dress from Jennifer to be married in. That night she and Steven hardly slept a wink. They were both so nervous about the day that lay ahead. Jennifer had arranged for them to spend their wedding night at the Sheraton and the next day they were going to fly back to Wisconsin. They had both decided that the "seeing the bride before the wedding was back luck" was a bunch of crap and after all they'd been through the last few weeks they sure as hell weren't going to spend a night apart. Hyde kept thinking to himself "I can't believe she said yes, just a few hours to go, please God, don't let her change her mind." Jackie was scared about how much they still hadn't discussed; like where they were going to live, not to mention all the changes a baby was going to mean to their lives. It was mind boggling just thinking about how much their lives were about to change.
1 pm rolled around before they knew it. Jennifer's friend David walked Jackie down the aisle while Elvis's "Only fools rush in" played. Hyde couldn't believe how beautiful she looked. Her hair was piled on her head with a few wisps hanging freely. David placed Jackie's hand in Steven's and they turned to face each other, holding each other's hands. The judge began the ceremony by "We are gathered here to day, to join the 2 separate lives of Jackie and Steven, into one life of togetherness."
"Steven, do you take Jackie to be your lawfully wedded wife"
"I do"
"Do you promise to love and cherish her, in sickness and in heath, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse, and forsaking all others, keeping yourself only unto her, for so long as you both shall live?"
"I do"
"Jackie, do you take Steven to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do" she replied tearfully.
"Do you promise to love and cherish him, in sickness and in heath, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse, and forsaking all others, keeping yourself only unto him, for so long as you both shall live?"
"I do"
"Now we will have the exchanging of the rings. Steven, take Jackie's hand and repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed, this ring is a symbol of my love and commitment to you, with no beginning and no end."
"With this ring I thee wed, this ring is a symbol of my love and commitment to you, with no beginning and no end." And Hyde placed the wedding band of Jackie's finger.
"Jackie, take Steven's hand and repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed, this ring is a symbol of my love and commitment to you, with no beginning and no end."
"Steven, with this ring I thee wed, this ring is a symbol of my love and commitment to you, with no beginning and no end." Jackie placed the wedding band on Steven's hand as tears fell down her cheeks.
"By the authority vested in me by the state of New York, I pronounce you husband and wife. Steven, you may kiss your bride." said the judge happily. Hyde put his hands on both sides of Jackie's face and kissed her lingeringly for what seemed like several minutes. After they were finished the Judge pronounced "It is my great pleasure to introduce to you Mr. and Mrs. Steven Hyde" Jennifer & David clapped and rushed up to hug both Jackie and Hyde and wished them congratulations.
A little while later Jackie and Hyde left for the hotel. They spent a leisurely night soaking in a whirlpool bath and making love. They had such a wonderful time neither wanted to leave for their flight to go home the next morning. They slept almost the whole flight because they had been too preoccupied with other things during the night to sleep. The flight attendant woke them up just as they were landing. They were very nervous for the entire drive home because of the news they were about to drop on everyone at the Forman's. Hyde and Jackie walked down the basement steps hand in hand. They looked at each other and shrugged "Well, its now or never." and went in.
