Jackie staggered into her house. She had just gotten home from her doctor's appointment. She hadn't seen Mrs. Foreman's car in the driveway, nor her husband's for that matter.

She had actually gone to the Doctor's with Donna, having told Hyde if he came she'd murder him. He stood by his word and had her on bed rest for the two days. Mrs. Foreman was in and out of the house, cooking, cleaning, and watching Hyde and Holly. Jackie liked having the extra help, but not the fact that she had to stay in bed, or at least the vicinity of the bedroom.

Jackie further walked into her house, to the kitchen. She saw a familiar man sitting at the table surrounded by papers and packets, pens and pencils. It looked like an office disaster. That fact that it was a disaster in her kitchen was not a good thing.

"Steven?" Jackie said shaking her husband gently.

"No!" Hyde shouted as he jumped up.

"Are you ok?" Jackie questioned as she looked at her husband.

"Yes, yes I'm fine." Hyde said quickly, calming down.

"Where's your car?" Jackie asked placing her purse and jacket on a kitchen table and going towards the teapot.

"Kelso is borrowing it. I'm just praying I get it back unharmed." Hyde went behind Jackie and put his arms around her round waist. "What's the damage?"

"Dr. Seever said that I'm in good health, everything is looking good, and I should try and limit my stress." Jackie said turning around, putting her arms around her husband's neck.

"Did you tell her about the pain?" Hyde said, watching Jackie's expression.

"Yes, the baby kicked me rather hardly. And with our little fight going on, I got hit with the baby kicking and with stress." Jackie said calmly.

"You know what this means right?"

"What?" Jackie looked at Hyde.

"You're going to relax! No more worries."

*

No more worries. It was an empty promise, in this case a threat. Jackie wasn't allowed to lift a finger. Mrs. Foreman was more then willing to help and practically moved into the Hyde household. Holly loved having another adult to pay her more attention. She was talking a lot more, and a lot faster.

The house, even with Steven and Mrs. Foreman was coming apart. Holly's toys were everywhere. From Barbies, to babies, to stuffed animals, to legos, the floors were littered with toys. The cleanest area's of the house was the nursery, the master bedroom, the office (though it was never used), and the kitchen.

It had been a month. Jackie often had to leave the house and would take Holly to Donna's and make Eric go help with the house. She was already in her sixth month. To think it was already July, actually the middle of July. Jackie was even more excited about the baby, though the house dampened her happiness.

Hyde, who decided he would help out like never before, didn't realize how much control Jackie really had over the house. He had never seen it this dirty. He didn't even remember buying Holly most of the toys. Hell he never saw so many dirty clothes. Hyde felt bad for taking advantage of Jackie for the past two years. He never realized what she did for the house. But she wasn't allowed to help till after the baby was born… three more months.

"Donna… my house… it's… so wrong." Jackie said as she watched Holly play with Donna's dog. "It's not clean."

"Jackie, you have a man running the house, Mrs. Foreman can only do so much." Donna reasoned.

"They won't let me help!" Jackie said defensively.

"I'm sorry…" Donna said.

Jackie had gone over to Donna's alone. Holly was with Hyde and Eric. And Mrs. Foreman was conducting a cleaning of the house. Jackie was lying on the couch trying to help with the back pains that all mothers to be were use too.

"Well… Mom and Bryan are getting hitched next week." Donna said her tone becoming much sadder.

"Are you going?" Jackie asked, propping her self on her elbows.

"Um… no. I don't think I really want to be there." Donna said sitting back. Jackie allowed herself to fall back.

"Ok then."

"Stupid mother." Donna mumbled.

*

Holly was hitting the shelves of the Baby store from her seat in the wagon. Hyde, who was pushing the wagon, was also dumping toys into the back. Eric strolled behind them playing with a blue teddy bear.

"So… what's with the buying out the entire store?" Eric asked.

"I don't know. I just figured my boy would need some manly toys." Hyde said throwing a G.I Joe in the back.

"Manly!" Holly repeated as she played with the Barbie in the box, her father was going to buy her.

"…Hyde… Jackie will kill you. And I might have to do something… like laugh." Eric said, seriously. Hyde shrugged.

"Oh well."

Eric shook his head and continued to walk behind Hyde and the Wagon. The group came to a large pyramid of diapers. Holly swung her Barbie doll box into the pyramid. The pyramid came slowly down surround Hyde, Eric, and Holly.

"Oh Crap!" The two men said, running as fast as they could to the other end.

"Hey! You two!" Yelled a pimply teenage boy, standing in the middle of the diaper pyramid disaster. "HEY! You forgot your Pretty, Pretty Princess Barbie!"

*

"You are so beautiful to me! Can't you see? You're everything I hoped for; you're everything I need. You are so beautiful to me." Hyde sang gently to his daughter as she drifted to sleep. Her brown curly hair spilled on to her face. But Hyde pushed it back.  He kissed her cheek and turned around to see Jackie leaning in the doorway. One hand over her hear and the other on against the wall.

"Oh god… how long were you there."

"The start of you're everything I need." Jackie smiled. Hyde shook his head and closed the door to his two yr old daughter's room.

He then kissed Jackie.

"When did you get home?"

"Few minutes ago. Eric drove me home. He said he's going to begin charging us for gas money." Jackie smiled and sat on the bed as Hyde took off his shirt and pants to put on a pair of shorts to sleep in.

"Yeah, yeah, he has said that before. He'll say it again." Hyde then got into bed. "Are you sleeping tonight?"

"No." Jackie said getting up and going towards the door.

"But… I thought you were coming to bed?" Hyde said, a little upset.

"Not tired. I'm gonna go grab and snack and see what movies are on."

"But… Jackie…"

"Good night Steven." And Jackie left the room.

Hyde woke up to the sun sneaking over his eyes. He let out a groan. It was already Sunday. Tomorrow was work. He reached out his arm to find Jackie. But he felt emptiness. He opened his eyes and looked next to him. No one, no Jackie, no crinkled blankets, nothing. He turned to his stand and looked over at the clock. It read nine o'clock.

"Damn." He mumbled and got up. He didn't bother putting a robe on. He made his way downstairs, with only his shorts on. He found Jackie sitting on the couch with a glass of orange juice next to her. She had changed her clothes. "Jacks?"

Jackie turned and smiled.

"Hey sexy. Mrs. Foreman took Holly to church. And she's gonna keep her for the rest of the day."

"When did all this happen?"

"An hour ago. Kitty and Red live only twenty minutes from us." Jackie smiled. Hyde looked at her and then sat on the couch and brought her into a hug. He then kissed her deeply.

"What was that for?" Jackie said resting her cheek against his bare shoulder.

"I love you."

"Mmm… you better." Jackie teased. Hyde just smirked.

"So no Holly till Tonight?" Hyde said getting comfortable.

"Nope. But Donna and Eric are coming over, and we're going out to lunch, and THEN to a movie and then shopping." Jackie got excited. Hyde looked at her.

"Jackie… I don't think—"

"Steven!" Cut him off. "That is what we are doing and that's final." Jackie got up and went into the kitchen. Hyde sat and put his head in his hands.

*

"Pig." Donna mumbled as Eric ate his food.

"I didn't eat since lunch yesterday!" Eric yelled, receiving some glances from around them. Donna put her hand over her eyes and continued to eat her salad.

Hyde stared at Jackie, who was listening to Donna mumble obscenities and eating her chicken dish, from across the table. Jackie turned her head, still smiling and met Hyde's eyes. She smiled even brighter and winked at him.

"Man this is good!" Eric said, pleases by the food. Around his mouth was sloppy and he looked like he dove into the food.

"Oh god! Eric!" Donna whispered in a mad tone. While the earlier glancers were now staring.

"What? It is good!" Eric said, food dribbling from the corner of his mouth.

*

"Did you have fun?" Hyde smiled, and looked over at Jackie briefly.

"I should really be asking you that." Jackie smiled back.

"I guess it was an ok day. Restaurant was pretty funny." Hyde laughed to himself.

"Who knew you could get thrown out for being a sloppy eater?" Jackie laughed.

"Well it is a pretty outstanding restaurant. Five stars?" Jackie laughed at Hyde's comment.

"Shut up you." They pulled up the driveway.  "Whose car is that?" Jackie asked. Hyde turned; under the street lamp there was a silver Jeep.

"I don't know."

"You remembered to lock the door?" Jackie said, not taking her eyes from the car.

Hyde turned the handle to see that is was open.

"No. Stay here."

Hyde walked in. And turned on the hall way light. He grabbed an umbrella and headed toward the living room. Standing by the mantle look at the pictures was a tall man. He had black hair that was slightly grayed in certain sections. Hyde cleared his throat the man turned around.

Hyde dropped his umbrella.

"Hyde my boy!" The man yelled happily and brought Hyde into a hug. Jackie walked in, upon hearing the greeting.

"Bud?"
