"Comfortable?" Jackie smiled as she handed Eric a pillow and two blankets.

"Yes." Eric said placing the items next to him on the couch.

"I wish we had something more to offer but, well…" Jackie looked around letting the apartment speak for itself. Eric smiled and shook his head.

"This is good enough. And I have pajamas and a tooth brush and a change of clothes." Eric said putting his hands behind his head and leaning back.

Jackie smiled and patted his head. "You can use the guest bathroom. No waking up Holly though, or I sware, you WILL get to stop her from fussing."

It seemed like a pathetic threat, seemed was the main word here. Eric simply nodded his head.

"So what did you do?" Hyde smirked as he walked into the room and folded his arms over his chest.

"I said we should get rid of Caterpillar. And Donna freaked out and kicked me out of the house. My own house!" Eric said, angrily, but in the same respect quietly.

Eric and Donna had gotten married two months ago. It was a beautiful ceremony. They were both finished college, Donna with honors, and were making out fine. They had a two-bedroom ranch that was double the size of Jackie and Hyde's apartment. But it also cost about double and a half more. But Donna had made her name working for the newspaper already and Eric was the owner of the Price Smart supermarket. Eric and Donna had come along their own way. Not like it was Jackie or Hyde's way, but it was a way.

"Donna's had that cat for almost five years now. She's attached to it." Jackie said, shocked that Eric would want to make Donna give up Caterpillar.

"The cat sleeps in our room, eats our food, and gets more attention then me." Eric said looking at Jackie critically.

"So you're saying, you're jealous of a cat?" Hyde asked.

"…No… I mean… well… she… Shut up Hyde!" Eric finally spat out.

"Well Donna had every right to kick you out." Jackie said getting up. "I'm going to go call her." Jackie disappeared into her bedroom.

"Women." Eric mumbled. Hyde looked at him and smiled.

"Still it's better to be sleeping in the room then on the couch." Then Hyde followed his wife into the bedroom.

The next morning, Jackie stood to the stove making scrambled eggs. The tiny child, Holly was sitting in her high chair. Holly had brown-ish hair that matched her father's hair almost perfectly. She also had curls that were strewed about her face. She had cute cheeks, perfect for a one year old. She took after Hyde's appearance greatly. But the way she would play with her mother's brushes and jewelry proved she was still Jackie's daughter. She was a sight for sore eyes.

Eric walked into the kitchen with his flannel pajamas. He sat across from Holly who had opened her beautiful brown eyes wide to stare at the man. Eric looked at her and then to Jackie's back.

"Your kid is staring at me." Eric said, not in the mood to deal with a wide-eyed child.

Eric could see from the Jackie's side that she was smirking. Hyde walked in, obvious hearing Eric's comment.

"She's just noticing how funny looking you are." Hyde said kissing the top of his daughter's head, which was still transfixed on Eric. Hyde then proceeded over to his wife and put his arms around her waist and put his mouth close to her ear.

"But she looks like an owl!" Eric said staring back at the little girl. Jackie and Hyde both turned their head and looked from Holly to Eric.

"Wow, she does." Jackie said and turned the stove off.

"I'll get the camera." Hyde said going into the other room.

After a few minutes and a few pictures, Holly finally stopped looking at Eric and back to her parents. She giggled happily and began holding her arms out for Hyde.

Eric made a face at her as Hyde came over and picked her up. He began bouncing her lightly as he walked form the entry of the kitchen by the front door and the one by the dining room. He made three circles and then placed Holly back into her highchair and sat down to a plate. Eric was already eating and was happily enjoying his meal.

"Did you talk to that woman?" He said after swallowing a fork full of eggs.

Jackie nodded her head as she stood in the corner of the cabinets drinking her tea.

"She said it will be too soon if you never came home." Eric's face fell fast.

"All because of a stupid cat?"

"She said lately all you wanted was change." Jackie said. She then put her hand on her stomach and ran to the bathroom.

"What's that about?" Eric said watching her run out of the kitchen.

"Stomach bug." Hyde said not looking up.

"Did she had the stomach bug last week?" Eric asked curiously. Hyde didn't look up or say anything. "Oh my god!" Eric shouted. Hyde and Holly looked at him.

"What?"

"Is she…?" Eric began and then smoked an imaginary cigarette. It hit Hyde rather quickly. Jackie had gotten extremely sick years ago from smoking one cigarette.

"No you idiot. She's pregnant." Hyde said after the memory left his head. Eric's jaw dropped to the table.

"No way! Are you serious!" Eric said it more as a statement then a question.

"Yes you idiot." Hyde said continuing to eat his breakfast. Holly was giggling not understanding what was going one between the two adults.

"I'm sorry. The flu." Jackie said coming back into the kitchen. She looked at Eric who smirked proudly. "You told him!"

"That or let him think you were smoking!" Hyde said in his defense. Jackie looked at him and grabbed the phone. "Who are you calling?"

"Donna, she'll kill me if she finds out you told Eric before I told her."

"Another baby!" Kitty smiled widely. She was more then ecstatic. Red sat at the dinning room table staring at the two adults. "Red say something."

"You… two are in for it." Red said. He had almost died after hearing about Holly, so they were surprised he wasn't trying to kill them for the new arrival.

"Red, they are not in for it. They are going to have another gorgeous child." Kitty was ecstatic about having another child around her. Ever since Laurie had her first child, Kitty has had baby fever.

"At least you're getting that promotion." Red said. Breathing in deeply.

Ever since Red's little heart attack two years ago, he's had to, immensely, lower his blood pressure. Which meant dealing with his anger issues. And for better, Red was doing very well with his anger management.

Kitty smiled widely once again. Hyde smiled and thought about how over the years Red and Kitty had become his parents. He knew that Jackie had a soft spot for them as well. Jackie's parents pretty much renounced her as their daughter when she told them she was pregnant. Hyde being the father didn't help either.

"Another little one!" Kitty laughed her little unique laugh. Jackie smiled.

"It's due in October, eight more months." Kitty smiled again.

"This is so exciting."

Holly sat playing with a doll as Jackie threw random things into a pink baby bag.

"Jackie are you sure I'll need all of these things?" Donna asked her voice filled with worried.

"Donna, I trust you, but… you've never watched Holly for longer then an hour… I think… I know you'll need all of these things." Jackie said putting in another bottle and two more jars of food.

"If you say so." Donna said. She quickly turned her attention to the tiny little one and a half year old grasping on to her leg. "Hi Holly."

"Hi." Holly said in her tiny little voice. Donna let out a set of giggles and then bent down to pick up the one year old.

"She is the cutest thing I have EVER seen!" Donna exclaimed. Holly let out her own set of giggles knowing she had just received a compliment.

"Yeah, she gets that a lot." Jackie said smiling broadly.

Soon the bag was down being packed and ready to go. Jackie handed the bag to Donna and took Holly.

"Ok, now I want you to be a very good girl for Aunt Donna. Mommy will see you tomorrow morning. And if you're really good, mommy and daddy will give you a present. Ok?" Holly shook her head vigorously. Excited about getting a reward. She then puckered up her lips with Jackie kissed.

"Bye ma-ma." Donna gave another "too cute," kind of face and took Holly.

"I'll call you tonight?" Donna said saying bye to Jackie.

"Yep." Jackie nodded.

Just as they made it to the door, Hyde and Eric walked in. Hyde kissed his daughter on the head, ignoring the awkwardness that seemed to hang above Donna and Eric.

"Bye Jackie. Hyde." Donna said not taking her eyes off Eric. Holly feeling the tension put her head into Donna's neck, hoping to hide herself. Donna left quickly.

"She's taking Holly?" Eric said after a long pause.

"She wanted some company." Jackie said not exactly looking at Eric. "She said she wanted to play with Holly. Bond with her."

"Oh." Eric said his voice was drained completely. He looked around. "I'm going to bed." Eric said going towards the couch.

"Why don't you see in Holly's room?" Hyde said from the kitchen. Jackie and Eric both turned toward the kitchen.

"It's an almost sound proof room. We can hear out, but you can't hear in." Hyde smirked.

"Where would I sleep? The crib?" Eric said sarcastically.

"No. The floor. It's rugged; we'll but a blanket on the group. It'll be like a camping trip." Hyde said, his smile growing wider and wider.

"Steven…" Jackie began but stopped when Hyde turned to her. She instantly read his mind. "You have an idea there."

Eric looked at them both. Not catching what was being thrown in their air between the two.

"Ok, fine, whatever." Eric said very Zen-like.

"That's cool." Hyde said and quickly went into the room to straighten up.

"That's… cool." Eric said sitting on the couch.

Jackie laid in the bed playing with Hyde's hand. She was smiling widely, just running her fingers in and out of his. She was almost glowing.

Hyde was watching her play with his hands. It sent chills up his spine. He loved it when they touched; there was always a spark. Hyde soon though took his hand away and slipped it, comfortably, under Jackie and brought her closer to him.

"I love you." She said cuddling into his bare chest.

"I love you too." Hyde said, kissing her forehead.

It had taken years for the phrase to come out of Hyde's mouth so smoothly, so easily. With Jackie it came out naturally and gracefully, as if she had been born to say it. Another thing that Hyde knew he didn't want to live without.

Jackie sat across from Mrs. Foreman and Donna at the food court. After Holly had been picked upped and then dropped off with her father, Jackie and the other two girls decided to go and have a girls' day out.

They had gone to the mall and bought some adorable outfits for Holly, and some adorable outfits for the new baby, even though they didn't know the sex.

"The baby blue one is so cute!" Donna said talking while sipping her soda. Mrs. Foreman laughed and nodded her head.

"I adore the little white outfit. With the marching dogs!" Kitty laughed again. Jackie smiled and agreed that both outfits were too much to handle.

"Have you and Hyde decided on the living arrangements?" Donna asked, changing from her child loving tone to her business tone. Kitty stopped laughing and looked at Jackie.

"Actually, yes we have. We're looking at a few houses right now. I actually really like one of them. It's white with blue shutters in the front. It has a beautiful bay window on the left side of the house. It opens to a small hall where there's a staircase, two doors on either side of the entry, and then there was a straight path that leads to a kitchen. The door on the left side is the family room. It's so pretty.

"Then after the family room is a dinning room and a small storage/closet. The dinning room leads into the kitchen, which is much bigger, then ours. The kitchen leads into a small, but elegant sized backyard. It also leads into the one car garage. Upstairs there are four bedrooms. The master bedroom has a mast bathroom. There's one slightly bigger room out of the three and then the other two rooms are the same size. It's the sweetest house you have ever seen." Jackie was smiling and dreaming about the house.

"Payment?" Donna said, trying not to really break the happy moment.

"Well, the down payment is going to be tough, but other then that… it doesn't seem to be much of a problem. We have quite a bit saved up from when I was working at that Diner, that and some of the money Steven puts away every other month or so." Jackie said, smiling again.

"That's good!" Kitty excitedly said.

"I know soon I'll be owning my own house."

"So… your own house?" Eric said as him and Hyde played with Holly. Eric was wearing an old hat that looked like it was from the forties; Hyde was wearing a fake pearl necklace that Holly kept giving to him. Holly herself was wrapped in a long feathered boa, and was hitting the plastic plate with the plastic spoon.

They were having, what Jackie likes to call a rendition of a tea party.

"It's in the talks. The realtor thinks we have a great chance. Consider the couple selling the house loves Jackie." Hyde said about to take the necklace off when Eric motioned to Holly who was giving her father a nasty look. "Ok, ok it stays on." Hyde said taking his hands away from the necklace. Holly smiled and went back to hitting her plate.

Eric smiled and looked at Hyde. "Well then. Congrats." Hyde smiled and nodded his head.

"I'm so sorry I'm late!" Hyde said as he ran into the doctor's office.

"Hello Mr. Hyde." A tall woman behind a desk smiled. She had fair skin and deep rich chocolate colored hair. "Have a seat."

Hyde sat down next to his wife who scooted away from him. Hyde knew she must have been angry. The doctor not fazed at all, sine she had known the Hyde's for a year and half now.

"Well, everything seems to be going normally. You're going to have lose of appetite and fatigue ness. And of course morning sickness, all are very normal. So don't worry about it." The doctor smiled. "I also got the result of the gender test."

"You did?" Hyde said excitedly.

"Yep." The doctor smiled. "Do you want to know?"

"Yes, of course!" Jackie and Hyde said together.

"It's a…"
