Jackie walked down the New York Avenue shaking her head and mumbling to herself, something not uncommon to the residents of New York.

"God damn car." Jackie mumbled. She looked up, trying to find a cab. Another hard thing to do during rush hour in the middle of the week.

As Jackie continued to walk down New York streets in her lavender skirt suit, hair half up/half down, with her black briefcase in hand. She heard the faint noise of basketballs and children.

"Hey! Watch out!" Jackie looked up and caught the free falling basket ball.

"What the f—"

"Sorry!" The young boy said racing out from the gated basket ball courts."

"Excuse me?" Jackie asked, half confused, half upset.

"I was playing." The boy timidly said, pointing to the basketball court.

"Where's your mother?" Jackie asked, her voice calm, her eyes blazing.

"Um… I… I don't have a mother… but… Sister Catherine is over there." The boy pointed to a nun half a mile from the courts.

Jackie's eyes softened and she looked at the boy.

Dirty blonde hair that hung over his bright blue eyes; with ratty clothes, dirty, and skinny appearance.

'Kitty would have had a field day…' Jackie thought and then handed the ball back to the boy. "Jackie Burkhardt-Hyde." Jackie said.

"Cool… I'm Jamie Bronze." Jamie smiled, through his dirty hair and smudged cheeks. "Same initials."

"Hey! Jam! Throw back the ball, you sissy." Jackie turned to see a much bigger boy then Jamie.

"Here." Jamie threw the ball. It barely got to the bigger boy.

"What a girl." The boy and his friends began to say.

Jackie looked at Jamie as he shook his head and smiled to her.

"Jamie? You… you're an orphan?" Jackie's heart tugged at the word. Through most of high school and college she had been an orphan. Hell she called her parents by their names at this point.

"Yeah." Jamie shrugged. He looked at the other kids and then back at Jackie.

"You want to go back and play?" Jackie asked.

"No." Jamie said. Jackie looked at him, a bit saddened. "No, it's just… I'm not friends with anybody. I just float around. No big deal."

"You poor child." Jackie looked at the boy. Jackie looked at her watch. "Dammit. I have to go. I'm sorry."

Jamie smiled. "Hey no big deal. It was nice meeting you Jackie Burkhardt- Hyde."

"Yeah, back at you Jamie." Jackie smiled and began walking down the street. She looked over her shoulder to see Jamie sitting on the curb.

"All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see you eyes. Rosanna, Rosanna. I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me, Rosanna." Eric sang with the radio as he did some late night work.

"Hi." Donna said in her pajamas.

"Hey Mrs. Foreman." Eric smiled.

"What you doing?" Donna asked, lying on the sofa.

"I can see your face still shining through the window on the other side. Rosanna, Rosanna. I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, Rosanna. Nothing." Eric smiled.

Donna smirked. "Luke is fast asleep. I would like to shoot who ever invented Star wars sheets."

"I would marry them." Eric said.

"You would." Donna said looking at him weirdly.

"Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna." Eric finished the song and smiled to his wife. "I love you."

"That's nice." Donna smiled.

"Cute." Eric shook his head.

"I love you." Donna smiled and then looked at Eric.

"What?"

"I want to go back to work." Donna said.

"…" Eric stared at his wife, opened his mouth, closed it, mouthed his mouth again, and then stared at Donna.

"I know…"

"Donna… you can go back to work… I… don't mind… but… you were the one who said we didn't want to go back to work till Luke was a little older." Eric said.

"I know… but Mrs. Strauss got me thinking…"

"Ms. Workaholic? Ms. I have a nanny… two husbands… and two daughters who are going to be the president of the untied states one day?" Eric asked.

"Yesterday, when you were working late. Luke ran outside… naked… and as I caught him… she came up and began saying how great it is to be home all day… relaxing… I haven't relaxed since… since… ever!" Donna strayed form the topic.

"Donna… who will watch Luke?"

"Your mom…?" Donna said, not having put that much thought into it.

"…that would go well…" Eric shrugged. "If you can get a job and come up with a system for Luke and Me… then whatever you want." Donna smiled broadly and kissed her husband.

"You are the best husband ever!"

"I know."  Eric smiled smugly.

Tuesday May 22, 1990

Hyde sat and clicked his pen on his desk. He was way too tired to have come to work today. The phone rang. Hyde picked up the phone.

"Hi."

"How id you know it was me?"

"I didn't." Hyde yawned.

"You… gr." Jackie said.

"How's my munchkin?" Hyde smiled.

"Playing with Lilly."

"I meant you." Hyde laughed.

"I'm good." Jackie smiled.

"I'm… extremely tired." Hyde said.

"Late night." Jackie said smugly.

"Yeah." Hyde chuckled a bit.

"I just want to say hi." Jackie said.

"Ok."

"I'll talk to you later."

"Bye Jacks."

"Bye baby." Jackie hung up the phone.

"Jackie Burkhardt-Hyde?" Jackie looked up to see a very dirty, smudged child.

"…Jamie?" Jackie asked.

"Hi." Jamie walked in and shut the door quietly.

"What? How?"

"I kinda ditched out door day… and there's no one waiting out in the hall."

"How did you know I was here?" Jackie asked, a bit confused.

"You dropped this." Jamie handed Jackie a card. Specifically her business card.

"I dropped this?" Jackie asked, skeptically.

"I swear." Jamie put his hands up. Jackie nodded and pointed to a chair in her office.

"You... ditched out door day?" Jackie asked after a few minutes.

"Sister Catherine won't notice if I'm missing… remember… I float around. I blend in." Jamie smiled.

"So you came to visit me?" Jackie asked. 'This is too unreal.'

"I'm sorry if I'm, bothering you. I… you seemed nice." Jamie shrugged getting up.

"Mrs. Hyde?" Lilly came in holding Elise.

"It's ok Lilly." Jackie put her hand on her forehead. "When was the last time you ate?" She said looking at Jamie.

"I don't know… eight this morning." Jamie shrugged. Jackie looked at her watch it was already one.

"I'm taking the after noon off… tell them Elise got sick." Jackie motioned for Jamie to follow her and then grabbed Elise. "Bye Lilly."

"Bye Mrs. Hyde." Lilly said quickly.

*

"Mrs. Hyde… I…"

"Call me Jackie, and don't worry about it." Jamie sat across from Jamie and next to Elise. Jamie was in a clean shirt and jeans, and he had a hair cut. He was cleaned. "So…" Jackie smiled.

"Who are you?" Elise asked Jamie.

"Name's Jamie Bronze." Jamie smiled.

"How old are you?" Jackie asked, leaning in her chair.

"Ten next month." Jamie continued to smile.

"Where's your mommy?" Elise asked; playing with the crayons the restaurant gave her.

"I don't know." Jamie shrugged.

"You seem… much more mature for ten." Jackie concluded.

"Guess it's growing up in a place where… you have to blend in, and become independent. My social worker doesn't even know my name." Jamie said.

"That's… so sad." Jackie said. Her heart tugging at the thoughts.

"No big deal." Jamie shrugged.

 Jackie looked at Jamie as he played with the silverware. He was wearing a black tee-shirt, he picked out, a pair of jeans, Jackie picked out, his hair was cut shorter, much like Eric's hair, and he looked clean. Jackie leaned back; Jamie looked up and smiled, noticing her stare. Jackie looked at him. 'Same eyes.' She registered. 'Just like Steven… soft, tell-all eyes.'

"Thanks Jackie… people don't even give me a second look… and you… bought me clothes and food."

"No worries." Jackie smiled. She looked at Elise, who was obviously to the world. And she looked at Jamie, who was so aware of the world. 'It's so unfair.'

"It's so hard to get a damn job!" Donna shouted coming into the kitchen. Eric was playing with Luke, as they both looked up at the woman in their lives.

"I know it is." Eric said, comforting.

"I know it is." Luke mimicked. Eric smiled and patted Luke.

"Go play." Luke smiled and leaped off the floor, running into the living room.

"Eric… I got rejected… by three different jobs… I'm under qualified and have been out of work for four years." Donna said, sitting in her seat, dropping her head into her arms.

"Sweetie, if they can't see the wonderful talent that you have. They are complete and udder morons." Eric smiled.

"Oh Eric!" Donna jumped up and hugged her husband. "I'll cook dinner."

"No! No! After such a hard day. You should come home and relax." Eric jumped up smiling.

"Oh… you are so sweet. I'm gonna go take a bubble bath. I'll let Luke watch a tape in our room so you can have the kitchen in peace." Donna kissed Eric and head towards the stairs.

"Thank you sweetheart." He turned around and gently wiped his forehead. "Missed the bullet there."

"So this kid… ran away from an orphanage… found you… you took him to dinner and bought him stuff… and then returned him." Hyde said, trying to grasp Jackie's story.

"He had to go back… I can't kidnap him." Jackie shrugged.

"You have that look…" Hyde said.

"What look?" Jackie asked.

"That look. That 'I have to be the hero look.'" Hyde said looking at his wife.

"I don't have to play hero." Jackie shrugged.

"Cause you can't." Hyde said.

"Steven…" Jackie said warningly.

"Jackie… I know you have this… weird little… hero thing going on… but… you know what… you have a family and a job and…"

"You're sleeping on the couch." Jackie said in a sing-song voice.

"I think we should take him to dinner one night." Hyde tried to smile. Jackie kissed Hyde's cheek.

"I'm tired. Talk to you later." Hyde nodded and watched his wife walk away.

"Her damn hero complex." He said, assuming she was out of hearing range.

"Heard that!" She shouted from the bedroom.

'God damn her!' Hyde thought. Looking towards the bedroom. 'She has some kind of super hearing power.'

Hyde looked towards his daughter who had been playing in the kitchen since she and her mother got home. The two and a half year old was covered in flour that was kept in the bottom cupboard.

"How the…?" Hyde got up and looked to see the safety broken. "This is exactly why you have to stay in a play pen.

"Flour daddy! Flour!" Hyde shook his head and carried his daughter, at arms length, to the guest bathroom.

Two short little chapters :). My new Series. Mr. Blue Eyes. I know these two chapters are all rushed and confusing… deal with it?... I wanted to get stared with the story before I went on vacation… or I would forget what was going on. Who goes on a cruise and remembers what they are talking about? Anyway… I don't own That 70's show… blah blah blah. We all knew that. Now… the cruise is from the 23-31 so I'm not going to be in a writing mood till like… the 6th or 7th. So tell me what you guys think about the first two chapters. There will be 10 chapters in all… so help me if I have to merge chapters together. And by the 3rd/4th/5th chapters, Jamie and Donna's job will come together, make more sense. This series is based on Jamie and Donna's job issues… obviously… I have the last chapter all planned out :)… my sad, sad, little life. And thanks again for all who reviewed Smile, I love you :). Ok… now did you enjoyed the start of the series and Review! Right now! ;) Ttys!
