Monday December 23, 1985

"Eric we are not moving here!" Donna whispered hastily to Eric as they pulled up to the Foreman house.

"We looked at two houses." Eric said getting out of the car, the rain spilling on him.

"They sucked!" Donna said holding her round stomach. She was in her sixth month and was making life very unpleasant for Eric. If she wasn't comfortable… why should he be?"

"Donna… please." Eric begged as they walked to the slider.

"Eric! Donna!" Kitty's mother said hugging the couple.

"Grandma! You came!" Eric faked enthusiasm.

"Mrs. Siggertson!" Donna mimicked Eric.

"Oh, look at how fat you've gotten… you should stay away from cheese." Bea said patting Donna's stomach.

"She's pregnant grandma." Eric said.

"Yes, yes I'm sure." Bea smiled and then walked through the living room door. Donna turned to Eric.

"The old hag is what? A hundred? Why isn't she dead?"

"Ok sweetie… let's go find you, Prozac or something…" Eric said sitting Donna down.

"My baby!" Kitty screamed entering the kitchen.

"Mommy!" Eric shouted back and hugged his mother. Donna got up and hugged Kitty, when Eric let go.

"You are a sad, sad little man." Donna said glaring at her husband.

"I did not know grandma was coming." Eric said ignoring Donna. Kitty did her unique laughed and then looked pissed off.

"I didn't either." Kitty went to the oven and checked on the meat.

"Who else is here?" Donna asked sitting back at the table.

"Fez, Laurie, and the kids." Kitty said looking at the meat thermometer.

"Where's Hyde and Jackie?" Eric asked sitting up on the counter.

"They'll be here later. You know it's been raining all week!" Kitty said grabbing her mug of coffee and sitting at the table. "Not one inch of snow. I'm so pissed off."  Kitty said angrily. Eric looked at her and inched further on to the counter.

"I see you're in a good mood."

"That woman insulted my potatoes!" Kitty said glaring at the living room door. "Why can't she stay in damn Arizona?"

"Yeah, like my mom, she stays in California with Valerie!" Donna said adding attitude to her older sister's name.

"I haven't seen any of your sisters in a while." Eric said.

"Yeah they just seemed to disappear during the middle of your sophomore year." Kitty comment.

"Whatever, they were dead beats anyway." Donna shrugged. Kitty and Eric just nodded.

Hyde, Jackie, Donna, Eric, and Fez sat in the basement.

"I don't have a problem with her. She told me she hopes I have a beautiful wedding and thank you for inviting her." Jackie said sitting on Hyde's lap.

"She wore black and told us that we should have gotten married in March at our wedding." Eric said. Donna nodded her head.

"She calls me Desi…" Fez said.

"She thinks you're Desi Arnaz? From "I Love Lucy"?" Donna asked. "You look nothing like him!"

"Thanks Donna… my self esteem rose ten points." Fez said sarcastically.

"Good for you Fez." Donna said.

"Hey Fez?" Laurie walked down the stairs.

"Yeah?" Fez looked at her.

"Can you try and get your kids to go to sleep?" Laurie said, her hair was tussled, her clothes wrinkled, and there was a large wet stain on her shirt.

"My kids? We agreed when in Wisconsin they were your parents' kids." Fez said.

"Fez!" Laurie mildedly shouted. Fez got up and shot the group a begging sort of look and then followed Laurie back up the stairs.

"One day… that will be us." Donna said looking at Eric.

"Why must you say things that make me want to take back this whole father thing?" Eric said, receiving a look from Donna.

*

"It's dark." Eric whispered to Donna from the pull out bed in the living room.

"Why does Jackie and Hyde get your old room?" Donna said grumpily.

"Because they called before we did." Eric stated. Donna snatched the blankets from him. "Donna!"

"You call late, you sleep in the cold!" Donna turned, wrapping herself and her stomach in the blankets. Eric lied on his back glaring at Donna.

"I swear one of these days woman."

"Oh please god let it be a day in the near future." Donna said, not turning around.

Eric looked angrily at her back before rolling over and mumbling obscenities.

Tuesday December 24, 1985

"Santa clause is real!" Kari shouted to her older, by three minutes, brother.

"No he isn't!"

"Santa Clause is real now shut up." Red said, not harshly.

"Then why didn't he buy me that army gun toy I wanted?" Tyler asked, provoking his grandfather.

"What idiot would buy a five year old a toy gun?" Red answered looking at his grandson.

"Well I'm six this year!" Tyler said and marched into the kitchen.

"Dear lord." Red said sipping his beer. Kari looked up at her grandfather. "What do you want?"

"Why is your head so shiny? Daddy's head isn't shiny… it's fluffy and soft!"

"Your daddy conditions like a women." Red said, patronizing the younger girl.

"So, why do you have a shiny head?" Kari asked innocently.

"Hi Dad." Eric said walking in from the kitchen, heading towards the door.

"Ask your uncle Eric." Red said to the little girl.

"Uncle Eric why is grandpa's head shiny?" Kari said, tugging on Eric's shirt.

Eric chuckled and patted Kari's head.

"Because grandpa likes sticking his foot up people's asses." Eric then opened the door and hurried out.

"Really Grandpa?" Kari asked amazed.

"Oh jeez! Eric!" Red screamed.

"Two thousand dollars!" Red heard from behind the front door. Kari was still staring innocently at her grandfather.

"Ah, jeez."

"I'm thinking Dorian for a boy…"

"He's going to cry if it's not Luke." Hyde said cutting Donna off.

"Well… I'm not naming my kid Luke." Donna said glaring at Hyde.

"What if it's a girl?" Jackie said covering Hyde's mouth before he spoke.

"I really like Josephine…"

"Leia?" Hyde said moving Jackie's hand.

"Yes." Donna said putting her head on the table. Jackie stroked her head.

"It could be worse… he might have wanted to name your kid Fred, or Shaggy, or even Scooby." Jackie shook her head and cringed.

"Hey! Let's not go around insulting Scooby Doo. He's been good to us over the years." Hyde said pointing to Jackie and then Donna.

"I always believed it was Thelma who was doing good for me." Fez said. The other three stared at him.

"Cookies, cookies, cookies!" Kitty said bringing a plate into the living room.

"These look good." Bea said, smiling.

"Well… thank you mom!" Kitty smiled. Bea picked one up and took a tiny bite.

"Hmm… I guess you really can't judge a book by it's cover." Bea put the cookie down and looked at Kitty.

Kitty smiled and nodded, and then marched into the kitchen.

Eric and Donna sat at the table eating there own set of cookies. Kitty went to the stove picked up a dish towel and then began beating the top of the stove.

"Whoa! Whoa mom!" Eric jumped up and grabbed the towel out of his mother hands. "Do I have to get you your Prozac now?"

"She is just a horrible witch!" Kitty said as Eric held the towel beyond reach.

"Mom… just go in there and stand up to her. You're a big girl now." Eric looked down at his mother.

"I know… and she is getting old… she might die soon…" Kitty looked at the ceiling. "From my mouth to your ears."

"Mom!"

"Ok, I'm sorry. I'll go talk to her…" Kitty took a sharp inhale of breath and went by the living room door. Bea suddenly walked through.

"Oh good… I wanted to make sure you weren't making those horrible rice cakes for dessert. You know, you were never really good with rice cakes. Not like your sister anyway. Why don't you send Eric to the store? They make good rice cakes." Bea smiled and then walked out the door.

"Later." Kitty said, dropping her shoulders and walking towards the den.

"I figured your grandmother would become nicer after that little stroke she had two years ago." Donna commented taking a bite of the cookie in front of her.

"I believe her conquering the stroke made her more mean. I mean… there's a reason she'll out live us all. God refuses to let her past the gate. And the devil is in fear she'll take over hell." Eric sat down, and shook his head. Donna began laughing. "I'm serious Donna; you heard how she laughed when she got out of the hospitable. That was a laugh of a person who cheated death."

"Your grandmother didn't cheat death… it was a minor stroke."

"You know…" The couple turned to look at Bea who entered again. "It's very cold in the house. I don't like cold areas. I like it hot. Turn up the heat Eric." Bea smiled and went into the living room again.

"See! SEE! There's a new Dark Vader in town… and she likes it hot!"

*

Hyde kissed Jackie underneath the mistletoe another time.

"Will you two go away?" Kelso said staring at the couple from the couch.

"No." They moaned as they continued to kiss.

"Michael dear can you run to the kitchen for me and get me the egg nog?" Kitty asked, smiling at Kelso.

"Sure, why stay here where everyone is just kissing and making out!" Kelso screamed and went into the kitchen.

"And he's still invited to the wedding?" Kitty asked Hyde and Jackie, who had stopped kissing. Jackie nodded while Hyde shrugged. They then went back to kissing.

"Merry Christmas Eve!" Fez said cheerfully walking into the foreman living room. He was carrying a bunch of bags.

"Where's the kids?" Jackie asked finally pulling away from Hyde.

"Sleeping." Fez said. "I'm glad we checked into that hotel."

"Hotels make me miss my Bertie bear." Bea said.

"And that's why we're in the hotel." Fez smiled.

"You're such a good boy Desi." Fez smiled as Bea walked into the kitchen.

"Where's Foreman?" Hyde asked, looking around.

*

Donna cuddled up to Eric.

"How did you convince Hyde to let us use the bedroom?"

"You know… I used my charm."

"Didn't tell him?" Donna smiled up to Eric.

"Nope." Eric smiled. Donna laughed and put her head on his chest.

"I'm tired." Donna snuggled up to Eric, who bent down and kissed her.

"Me too."

"Night daddy."

"Night mommy." Eric said wrapping his arms around Donna.

"Jesus Foreman!" Hyde said, but it went in vain.

Wednesday December 25, 1985

Hyde glared over at Eric as they unwrapped presents.

"Stop looking at me!" Eric said not looking up from his Star Wars book that Jackie bought him.

"You took my bed."

"You… you… your hair is curly!" Eric retorted.

"Good one… Erica!"

"Anyway…!" Kitty said and looked over to her mother. "Do you like the sweater I bought you?"

"I live in Arizona." Bea smiled and then patted the sweater. "I think Fluffy will like it though. I'll thank you for her."

"Ok…" Kitty waited for Bea to go on. Bea smiled and turned to Jackie.

"Do you like the early wedding present?"

"It's gorgeous." Jackie said staring at the porcelain figurine of a girl that looked like Jackie.

"Your welcome." Bea smiled.

"I loved your crystal glasses Kitty." Jackie said quickly to Kitty. "They're so pretty… like you!"

"You are the best daughter ever!" Kitty brought Jackie into a hug.

"I love you too Kitty!" Jackie let out.

"Such a good daughter!" Kitty hugged her harder.

Donna and Laurie looked at Kitty.

"Mom!"/"Kitty!"

"Well… when was last time you complimented me and said you loved me!"

"I love you!" Laurie and Donna said together.

"Suck ups!" Kitty said still clutching Jackie.

"Kitty… you're choking me…"

*

Eric sat in the living room looking at the blue sweater his mother had given him.

"It matches the blue baby suit." Donna held up the baby suit.

"Good old mom."

"I'm not naming my kid Luke or Leia."  Donna said.

"Yes you will…" Eric looked up.

"No, I won't."

"When you are in unbearable pain, and crying and I'm there… crying… I think I'll persuade you."

"You keep dreaming." Donna said, she looked over to Eric, who's bottom lip was trembling. "What?"

"I want the name Luke to live on… it'll die soon." Tears poured down Eric's cheeks.

"Eric, cut it out."

Sob.

"Eric!"

Sob.

"Cut it out!"

Sob.

"Ok! Ok, I'll think about it!"

Sob.

"I'll really think about it this time!" Donna said, becoming nervous. Eric nodded sadly, tears still pouring down. Donna moved to the couch and pulled Eric into a hug.

Eric hugged her back as a sneaky smiled crept onto his face. Donna let go of him, as Eric went back to the sad pathetic teary face.

"I'll get you some tissues and some water." Donna got up and went towards the kitchen.

"Thank you." Eric said softly.  He watched as she left and then smiled and pout his hands behind his head. "I'm so good."

*

"Jackie?" Hyde walked into the guest room to see Jackie putting stuff away.

"Yeah?" She turned around and kissed him.

"Here." Hyde pushed a small box towards her.

"What's this?" Jackie smiled.

"It's… a little something. Don't make a big deal out of it." Hyde roughly said. Jackie smirked and opened the box.

A gold chain glistened in the box. There was a charm hanging down. It was a gold wired heart with a pink diamond at the corners and bottom of the heart. In the middle of the heart was a J and H woven together.

"Steven… it's… it's…" Jackie was lost for words. She took it out of the box and went towards the mirror. She held it out for him and picked up her hair. Hyde put it on for her.

"You like?" Hyde asked hopefully.

"I love it!" Jackie squealed, jumping into Hyde's arms. "I guess I owe you another present now."

"Only if you really want too." Hyde smirked.

"Oh… I want too." Jackie pushed Hyde against the door and began kissing him.

"I love Christmas." Hyde said between the kisses.

"This works better when you don't talk." Jackie teased. Hyde smirked and kissed her again.

Thursday December 26, 1985

Eric and Donna collapsed on their bed.

"That was… a horrible trip home." Eric shivered.

"We are never driving your dinosaur of a grandmother to the airport again. She calls me fat ever again. I'll kill her." Donna said.

"Don't make any promises." Eric said getting up. Donna looked at him.

"I had fun…" She said after a few minutes.

"It's good seeing them."

"We're not seeing them until after the baby is born…" Donna said looking at him.

"I have no problem with that." Eric agreed.

"You want a girl or a boy."

"Honestly?" Donna nodded her head. "A boy… but I'd still be overly excited, and happy if it was a girl."

"I want a boy too… and a girl… we're gonna have both eventually." Donna smiled.

"Eventually." Eric kissed her. "Let's work with this one first though, ok?"

"No problem." Donna cuddled on to her side of the bed.

"Sweet dreams." Eric said sliding next to her.

"Night." Donna smiled in the dark. "Can I have some ice cream?"

"No."

"Eric."

"No."

Sob.

"Donna…"

Sniffle.

"No."

Sob.

"Fine!" Eric got out of the bed and walked to the kitchen. Donna smirked and rolled over to lay in the middle of the bed.

"Who's good now?"
