Eric turned over in bed and felt the warm presence of his wife. His
wife, he never thought that they would be married. It still felt weird to
think it let alone say it. He couldn't believe that she was his wife. She
loved him and he loved her but he felt he didn't love her enough. He felt
like he was using her.
Eric lifted his head to see what time it was. 5:45 the green numbers read. He turned off his alarm that would go off in fifteen minutes. He knew he wouldn't be able to get back to sleep in that little amount of time. So he quietly slipped out of bed and got to his feet. He walked to the master bath. He pulled off his pajamas fast and put them in the hamper. He didn't want to get yelled at for leaving them on the floor. He turned the shower on cold. He liked long showers but he knew he would never hear the end of it if he used up all the hot water. He felt the same pit he felt in his stomach the day he got married.
-----Flash Back-----
It was very chaotic, everyone was running around and Kelso was supposed to be showing the guests where to sit but instead he was hitting on the hot guests that were invited. Kitty was running around thanking people for coming. He was surprised that his own sister showed up. She was hiding in the corner trying to keep away from Fez. He looked for his other friends but was interrupted by his dad. "Eric come over here for a second," His father called to him. It was weird he didn't even call him dumbass. Eric walked over to him slowly trying to take in everything but his father started to get an irritated look on his face so he walked fast over to him. He was standing by the entrance of the hall. "Yeah dad, got any advice for the groom?" He tried to be pleasant. This was his wedding day. "Yeah don't mess this up. For some reason she wanted to get married to you so don't make her re-think her choice," He said and patted Eric on the back. "Thanks for the good advice dad," Eric said flatly and walked away. "Eric! Eric!" He heard his mom call to him. She ran up to him while he was walking down the aisle to the front where the preacher stood. Eric turned around to face her. "It's starting now! She's ready!" Kitty said happy clapping. "Thanks mom," He said and continued to walk forward but Kitty was still flowing him. "Mom if you want us to get married your gonna have to sit down," He said. Kitty laughed and said "Oh your right," He got to the front of the church. He looked over to his side and saw his whole family sitting there. He looked over at her side. Only her dad showed up. Her mom was nowhere to be seen and she had a bunch of friends there from college. Eric felt like he was doing the right thing.
The wedding party walked down the aisle. He didn't understand why she didn't want her father to walk her down the aisle. As soon as the party reached the front the wedding march started and Eric felt like he was going to throw up. His stomach was in knots he didn't know if it was because he was excited or if he was wrong for doing this. He couldn't turn back now because she was making her way down the aisle. She was trying to pull off that she loved him only Eric could see she was doing a horrible job. She smiled at him, as she got closer. As she met him he pulled the veil over her head.
He couldn't pay attention to the preacher he was too nervous. She kept her fake smile plastered to her face. He knew it was only because she was drunk but he didn't care. If she wasn't drunk it wouldn't of went this smoothly and she was only drunk to spear both of their feelings.
"Eric," She hissed at him. "Oh right. I take thee Donna to be my lofily wedded wife," He said automatically. He turned to look at his bride she frowned at him. He didn't know why she frowned but he could tell she wasn't too mad. He went numb and repeated exactly what the preacher said and he felt like he wasn't really talking. He felt like he was brain washed into doing this. When he finished he turned and got the ring from Fez. He carefully put it on her finger and she smiled at him. He could see the hurt in her eyes. It's been there ever since they got married.

He turned off the shower and went to get changed in their walk in closet. He pulled out her favorite suit. She had picked it out for him for his first day of work. He could tell she was trying really hard to make this work. She had even showed up on his first day of work during his lunch break. She had brought lunch from some restaurant. He showed her off to his co-workers and she pretended to be the happy wife. She was working on this and he felt like he was doing nothing. She once told him that love was a two way street but he didn't know if he could give her all she wanted.
He walked back into the bathroom to comb his hair and shave. He was still surprised that he had hair because he was so stressed all the time. He had hair but it was gray. He combed it and shaved before he went back into the bedroom. His wife was still asleep so he was careful to exit the room. He then went into the bedroom next to theirs to get the baby.
Some thought their marriage was a sham and Eric had done the "honorable" thing. At times Eric felt that was the truth but he never let that on. The baby was about nine months old now. It was standing up in its crib smiling wildly at Eric. He wondered how long his son had been standing. He picked him up. "Good morning Harrison," He said. He got her to name his son after Harrison Ford. She forgot he was in Star Wars and was a little mad when she found out that Harrison had played Han but she said as long as she got to name the next one she didn't care. He was shocked that she wanted to have more kids with him when she was so miserable in the marriage. He had seen on many shows that woman think to keep the man from leaving they have more kids. He wasn't going to leave her but he couldn't stand to be married either.
The baby had her face, which was lucky for it. He didn't think Harrison would be too good looking if he looked like his father. He made his way down the stairs and walked through the living room to the kitchen. He sat Harrison down in his high chair and went to the stove. He turned it on the medium and got out a pot. He then went to the fridge and got out some eggs. He was going to try to surprise her by making her favorite breakfast.
Harrison sat in his height chair quiet. The baby was no trouble at all. It barely ever cried. When he was first born he wasn't pinched or smacked. He came out looking around the room. He was such a good baby. Eric heard the shower turn on upstairs and knew she would be down soon. He made her eggs sunny side up like she liked them and then put them on a plate and covered them so they wouldn't get cold. Then he went into the fridge to get Harrison's bottle. He gave the bottle to Harrison and then went into the cupboards to get his baby food. Split peas were all they had left which was Harrison's least favorite. He sighed. He knew this day wasn't going to go so good. He got a spoon and pulled a chair out so he was sitting in front of Harrison. He opened the baby food container. He dipped the spoon into the container and took out a little bit of the peas. He placed the spoon by his son's mouth. Harrison opened his mouth and eats the peas. Then he spit them back out missing Eric but hitting the floor. Eric sighed and couldn't wait to go to work. He took another spoonful this time eating it himself. Trying to show Harrison it wasn't so bad. After he ate down the little bit of peas he took another helping making plane noises. This always got Harrison to eat them. This time his son ate the peas not spitting them back up.
He managed to get Harrison to eat half the container. The other half was on the floor. He began to wipe up the mess on the floor when he remembered he should have started to make coffee ten minutes ago. He went to the coffee pot when he felt two arms rap around his waist. A pair of lips gave him a quick peck on the cheek. He turned around to face his wife. "Good Morning Eric," she said still hugging him. "Good Morning Jackie," He replied.
Eric lifted his head to see what time it was. 5:45 the green numbers read. He turned off his alarm that would go off in fifteen minutes. He knew he wouldn't be able to get back to sleep in that little amount of time. So he quietly slipped out of bed and got to his feet. He walked to the master bath.
