Saturday April 21, 1990
Eric sat in the office looking over some paper work. He looked at the computer on his desk and gently typed in a few words. A few seconds later he went back to his paper work before he heard his four year old son's laughs. He looked up to the window to see a naked, brown hair, green eyed boy running across the lawn. A few minutes later he saw a red hair woman chasing the boy. Eric smirked.
A few minutes pasted and his wife and son walked into the house. Donna gently placed Luke down who then ran around the house naked. Donna walked into the office and looked at her husband.
"Shut up." She said pushing her shoulder length hair back.
"That difficult?" Eric smirked as he looked at his work again.
"He's going through some kind of… naked phase." Donna said rolling her wrists.
"So? I went through that phase." Eric shrugged.
"…Well, yeah. But unlike this, where it's me being embarrassed, it was your mom getting embarrassed." Donna smiled. Eric looked up slowly and glared at his wife.
"Fire truck!" Luke yelled as he passed the office… naked.

Hyde walked through the apartment door. Suddenly a tiny little girl with black curly hair rushed to him, and attached to his legs.
"Hi Ellie." Hyde said picking up his two and a half year old daughter.
"Daddy!" Elise shrieked. Hyde smiled and took on of his hands to rub his ears.
"Where's mommy?" Hyde asked walking through the apartment to the master bedroom. Elise pointed towards the master room. Hyde walked in to see Jackie sprawled on the bed clutching a pillow. Hyde looked at her and shook his head. He smiled and kissed Elise. "Go play in your room baby." He said putting his daughter down. Elise smiled and ran out of the bedroom.
Hyde sat on the edge of the bed and kissed Jackie's fore head.
"Steven?"
"Yep."
"Where's Elle?" Jackie asked darting her eyes around.
"In her room."
Jackie sat up and put her hand to her head. "I'm… so tired."
"It's because you signed up for that damn fashion thing." Hyde scuffed. Jackie glared at him.
"I supported your, how long can I go without washing my hair movement. Accept the fashion show."
"What support? You made me sleep on the balcony." Hyde asked raising his eyebrow.
"You weren't washing your hair Steven." Jackie glared at him.
"When is this …fashion thing… going to end?" Hyde asked lying next to Jackie. She unconsciously began playing with his hair.
"Next Saturday." Jackie said. And then bent over kissing him. "And you're coming."
"Oh, come on Jackie."
"…No…" Jackie kissed him. Their two and a half year old daughter ran into the room and began to jump on the bed. "Steven…"
"We discussed this. She's your daughter when she's doing something bad. When she's sitting and smiling. I claim her."

Eric walked out of the shower to find his son wearing his tee-shirt that Eric had taken out for the after noon.
"Hey buddy… take off daddy's shirt."
"No!" Luke smiled proudly.
"Luke."
"No, Daddy! No!"
"See… you totally picked that whole no thing up from your mother. Next you'll be saying you have a head ache."
"Head ache!" Luke said excitedly and ran out of the room, chanting the word.
"Oh damn… that can't be good."
*
"We are not coming down for a fashion show." Donna said on the phone rolling her eyes.
"Come on." Jackie whined.
"No." Donna said, shaking some pepper into the pot.
"Donna."
"No."
"Ugh! Put on my god-son." Jackie said, temporarily giving up. Donna shook her head.
"Luke! Aunt Jackie is on the phone." Luke raced into the kitchen in his father's shirt and grabbed the phone from his mother.
"Jackie! Jackie!" Luke said excitedly.
"How's my favorite boy?" Jackie asked.
"I have a head ache."
"Your head hurts?"
"No!" Luke laughed. Donna looked down at her son and then angrily stomped to the stairs.
"So how do you have a headache?"
"Daddy says mommy says she has a headache." Luke said.
"Oh." Jackie began to laugh.
"Eric Foreman. You are so in trouble." Jackie heard in the back round.
"Daddy's getting yelled at." Luke giggled.
"That's great baby." Jackie laughed.
"Yay!" Luke cheered.

"I want the pink bear." Elise cried to her father.
"Elise Grace Hyde… What did daddy say about crying?" Hyde asked sternly. Elise looked at him and began crying harder.
"Daddy mean!" Hyde rolled his eyes and just patted his daughter's back. Jessica walked into the office and smiled at Hyde.
"Mr. Hyde." She smiled.
"Hi Jessica." Hyde said, tiredness in his voice, he was in no mood to deal with Jessica.
"Brought your daughter in again?" Jessica asked eyeing the raven black haired child.
"Yeah, my *wife* is extremely busy at work." Hyde said. Every conversation he had to remind Jessica of Jackie.
"Yes, must be hard to have two working parents." Jessica said, and then smiled.
"I could always watch the little thing if you want." Elise turned her head and looked at Jessica. She then cried harder.
"I want my mommy."
"I think that… was a no." Hyde said smugly. Jessica smirked and shrugged. "I swear." Hyde shook his head.

Donna was driving as Luke played in his car seat.
"How was preschool?" Donna asked, looking at her son.
"Fun!" Luke said playing with his toy air plane.
"Did Kendra throw her Barbie at you again?" Donna smiled.
"No! We played with plato together." Luke said. Donna smiled.
"Want to visit Daddy before we go home to make dinner?"
"Yes!" Luke said excitedly. "Can we get McDonalds for din-din?" Luke asked.
"Why?" Donna asked confused.
"You make bad food." Luke said, innocently. Donna slightly glared ahead.
"We'll see."
"McDonalds! McDonalds!" Luke began to chant. Donna shook her head.
*
"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" Luke said as he ran into his father's office.
"Hey champ!" Eric smiled picking his son up. "Where's mommy?"
"Right here." Donna said coming in. "Do you want McDonalds for dinner?"
"Yes." Luke and Eric said together. Donna glared at her husband and then sat down.
"How was class?" Eric looked at his son.
"Fun!" Luke said in the same tone with his mother.
"Well… you know what's really fun?" Eric smiled.
"What?" Luke asked.
"You and I are visiting Aunt Jackie and Uncle Hyde!" Eric smiled big.
"Eric?" Donna asked questioning her husband.
"Jackie called and begged. And you said you wanted a break." Eric shrugged. "I'll give you a dollar if you say you're not mad."
"I'm not mad." Donna shrugged. "I do need a break."
"Then it's settled." Eric smiled Donna kissed him and then took Luke's hand.
"I can't believe Jackie con-ed you into going."
"Well… she's Jackie… and she did that… crying thing." Eric smiled.
"A whole weekend." Donna squealed a bit and then walked out of the office with Luke.
"Bye Daddy!" Luke smiled.
"Bye champ." Eric waved.

Saturday April 28, 1990
"Mrs. Hyde!" Jackie turned and looked at the short, red/blonde woman.
"Yes?" Jackie said, stopping to get a good breath.
"There's a man and a young child to see you."
'Steven and Elise.' Jackie registered and then looked at the woman. "Send them to the back… I have to go help with Michelle's bangs." Jackie cringed. Days like these she really missed being in the spotlight rather then behind the scenes.
"Jackie?" Eric asked coming up to a tall brunette in the back. The brunette was crying hysterically.
"Oh my god. Eric?" Jackie said, and broke out to a huge smile.
"Jackie!" Luke yelled.
"My boy!" Jackie said and then picked up Luke.
"Ms. People!" The brunette sobbed. Jackie rolled her eyes and looked at the brunette.
"Michelle… I told you not to get the hair cut. Maybe… *maybe*… if you let C.c. do her job, you can bring bangs back in." Jackie said. Michelle perked up.
"Really?"
"Really." Jackie turned around and looked at Eric. 'Models.' She mouthed and rolled her eyes.
"You were once a model." Eric said as he led Jackie and Luke away from the now bossy model.
"Yeah… but I was tiny and cute. She has bangs." Jackie said. Eric simply nodded.

Donna slid into the living room dancing and singing to Bob Seger's 'Old Rock and Roll.'
"Don't try to take me to a disco. You'll never even get me out on the floor. In ten minutes I'll be late for the door, I like that old time rock n' roll."
The phone rang. Donna turned the music down and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hey."
"Hi Sweetie."
"Everything going ok?"
"Yeah, yeah everything's great."
"Good to hear."
"Yep."
"Well… Luke is asleep… he misses you."
"I miss him too." Donna smiled.
"See you Monday night. Love you."
"Love you too Eric." Donna smiled
and hung up she then pumped the radio up again. "Won't go to hear them play a
tango, I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul.
There's only one sure way to get me to go. Start playing old time rock n' roll."

"That… was the most boring-est thing ever." Hyde said as He and Jackie stood on the balcony.
"Shut. Up." Jackie pushed him slightly. Hyde smiled.
"Pretty, pretty princess and the young Jedi are fast asleep." Eric said, looking at his two friends.
"You get the couch Foreman." Hyde smirked.
"You guys need a bigger place." Eric slyly remarked going back into the apartment.
Jackie smiled and looked at Hyde. Hyde looked back at her. Jackie opened her mouth.
"No." Hyde said. "We do not need a bigger place. Foreman is just a dumbass.
Jackie glared at Hyde and then looked over the balcony and pouted.
"I love you too." Hyde kissed the top of her head.
