The next morning was an interesting one. Hyde has showed up behind the
courtyard with Kelso, Fez and Eric close behind him. Luke and two of his
friends quickly joined. Hyde had a black eye and a swollen lip from the
night before and Luke and his friends started to laugh at him trying to be
all tough.
"Well. I'm here and I'm ready to fight. A fair fight this time. Not nine on one." Hyde spat out.
"Okay. Now I'm really scared. Tell me Hyde. Did Jackie tell you she was with me last night? Oh yeah. We had a little bonding."
"Stay the hell away from Jackie!"
"Why? She doesn't seem to mind the company. Besides you stood her up last night."
"That's because you and your nine friends-"
"Beat the shit out of you? Yeah I remember. Well since you didn't see Jackie last night I guess I might as well tell you how stunning she looked. She had on a short little black dress, her hair down curly. A very low cut dress-"
"That's great Luke! I love hearing about your little fantasies with my girlfriend. I heard a different side of the story. Hmm.... I think it went something like this 'Jackie was with Luke but she didn't want to be there and so I drove her home'... yeah."
"What's your name?" Luke asked pointing at Eric. Eric pointed to himself.
"Me?" Eric's voiced cracked. Luke nodded. "Um... Eric!"
"So are we going to kick his ass Hyde or what? I have a blonde waiting at my dorm for me." Kelso asked.
"No. He's not worth it. I just thought I'd tell you to stay away from Jackie and remind you that she won't be too upset if she never saw you again."
"Yes. Stay away from Jackie you son of a bitch!" Fez added and hid behind Hyde after receiving an evil glare from Luke. Hyde then walked off with his friends close behind him.

"Donna!" Jackie yelled.
"Yes Jackie... darling?" Donna asked obviously annoyed.
"My stomach hurts. I feel sick. My feet are killing me. I look like I'm gaining weight. Is this normal? I mean I'm like only five weeks pregnant!"
"Yes. It's normal. Except for the gaining weight part. I think it's all physiological though. I mean wait a minute... you do look a lot heavier."
"Shut up you lumberjack!" Just then there was a knock at the door. Donna looked at Jackie because she was a little bit closer. "Like hell I'm getting up to answer the door."
"Fine. They can leave then."
"Urg!" Jackie finally got up after the knocking was continuous. She opened the door and was relieved to see Hyde. He had his hand covering his swollen lip and his shades were on so she didn't notice the black eye. "Where were you last night?"
"I got held up. I'm sorry." Hyde walked in.
"Held up? Have you ever heard of a telephone? I had to see that revolting guy hitting on me again last night. He's so annoying. And he smiles way too much! He's going to have some serious wrinkles when he's older."
"I'm sorry I said. So... you told me everything went fine at the doctors right?"
"Yes. Everything is perfect. I'm going in next week for an ultrasound. Would you like to join me?" Jackie asked happily.
"I'll see if I can make it." Hyde mumbled. Jackie looked disappointed.
"What do you want me to do about it?"
"About what?"
"The baby! I'm sick here. I feel like crap all the time and a little bit of sympathy wouldn't kill you!" Jackie yelled.
"I've been busy. I've been working out a few problems of my own. I'm sorry if the world does not revolve around you anymore." Hyde said and Jackie slapped him across the face. It burned her hand and burned his cheek. He kept it in though.
"Get out! I never want to see you again! Baby or no baby, we are over!" Jackie began to cry uncontrollably and he went to hold her but she pushed him against the wall. She ran into the bathroom. Hyde then looked at Donna who glared at him.
"Jackie can be a pain but she certainly didn't deserve that." Donna stated.
Hyde then left and felt like crap. What was he doing? Had he really been hit to hard last night? He couldn't believe what he said to her. How could he have been so mean? How could he have been so insensitive? Just then he was approached by Luke.
"Hyde. I've thought about our constant fighting and I have come to a decision. Let's have a truce. I really don't want to be on your bad side anymore." Hyde nodded his head and the two shook on it.
"Well. I'm here and I'm ready to fight. A fair fight this time. Not nine on one." Hyde spat out.
"Okay. Now I'm really scared. Tell me Hyde. Did Jackie tell you she was with me last night? Oh yeah. We had a little bonding."
