Carol-June 27, 2003

PS-I have a question for you all. You can either email me privately or just stick it under a chapter review, I have many more ideas for this storyline for when the kids are grown, but I don't know how many are interested. I've been doing this storyline for so long (and I do have one more official one to do) but if you want more please let me know. I've been doing this storyline for what feels like an eternity that I cannot imagine starting a new storyline from scratch. I'm glad everyone liked the story. So here's a little sneak peek of what I have in mind for future installments.

(as always this is subject to change, but you get the gist)

---Hyde hated seeing his wife so upset, Jackie moved from the potato chips to the rocky road so this was not a good sign. He tried not to worry, he knew they didn't raise a bad kid and he remembered how he used to be when he was fifteen, but he hated not knowing where she was. This is what it truly felt like to be a parent when your kids have you wholly consumed with worry. The phone rang and he knew Jackie was sitting right next to it, so there was no need to pick it up here. He got up from the porch and went inside.

"She TOOK your CAR?" Were the words Hyde heard when he entered the door.

Who was she talking to? Forman? Why would she go all the way to Wisconsin to 'borrow' Forman's car? Still this seemed like a mild rebellion to him, even though as a Father he was concerned. It was a fine line without sounding like a complete and utter hypocrite. He watched Jackie hang up the phone and stand next to him, a very mature elegant swan.

"Steven! YOUR daughter went all the way to Wisconsin to see THAT BOY and then lied to Eric and took his car, GOD KNOWS WHERE."

"She does something bad and suddenly she's MY daughter? Come here." He embraced her tightly.

"I don't like Adam he's like a smart Michael Kelso!" She cried in his shoulder.

"I'm sure she's okay, she's not the type of person to do something for NO REASON."

"And what reason could there be for LYING to us, taking a bus to Point Place to see that BOY and then take Eric's car. WHY?!"

"I don't know, why, Jackie. But I know, she's okay."

"Steven, I love you, but you don't know what this does to a Mother, it tears me up inside, not knowing where she is. I don't know if she's okay so how can you? She's too smart to use her credit card. Eric said he or Donna would call us the moment they find out anything, but I'm NOT WAITING. I'm calling the airport and I'm going to Wisconsin to get my baby back, and you are coming with me.--
