Title: Twists and Turns of Life

Chapter 5





***Eric's P.O.V***

"Well mom not to be mean or anything, but I could care less what happens to Kelso. He almost ruined my life completely and took something precious from Donna and me." I can't believe him. Kelso probably did this for attention. How selfish can he be?

"Eric honey, he might actually be sad and ran away."

"Kelso's grown-up now and if he wants to live somewhere else. Then that's up to him."

"Fine then just be that way Eric. You two may leave now if you're not going to pay any attention to this."

"Mom, I don't care if you're mad, cause if it weren't for a miracle doctor, Kelso would've taken away your grandchild."

"Just go away Eric. I can't stand you right now." So I left with Donna. When we got back to our house Donna was really stressed so she had to go lay down. I figured I should call Jackie and Hyde and tell them the news. Not that they should care either.

"Hey, is this Jackie?"

"Yeah, who is this?"

"Oh it's just me Eric. Listen I called to tell you that Kelso *ran away* or something so yeah. Apparently he was depressed about you and couldn't take it anymore in Point Place."

"How can you run away when you're over the age of 18?"

"I don't know but everyone is concerned, so I thought I should tell you."

"Oh ok... well thanks. Bye."

***Jackie's P.O.V***

"Steven, are you around?" I yelled up the stairs, and he came walking down, taking his time of course.

"Yeah what is it babe?"

"Michael left Point Place and they're looking for him. Steven what is he's not ok? I mean he could be really hurt about me saying no to him."

"Jackie are you actually thinking of going to look for him?"

"Well I mean it could be worth it. Steven... Michael was always there for me, so I have to be there for him. Please Steven understand."

"No Jackie I won't understand! You are my wife and you're carrying *our* baby!"

"Whatever Steven!"

"Please just calm down. The doctor said no stress. You can call Kelso's cell phone. Maybe he'll answer, but Jackie that's all."

"Fine!" I stormed out of the room and got the phone. I quickly dialed Michael's number.

"Hello? Michael is that you?"

"Jackie! I've wanted to talk to you. Please come back to me. I need you so much."

"Michael you know im with Steven. Me and him are in love, and are going to have a baby, but you will always have a place in my heart. Please come back to Point Place and be my friend?"

"Can you promise me something first?"

"What?"

"Let me be the God father of your baby?"

"Ok, that I can do. So you're coming back?"

"Yeah I will. See you in a couple hours. Bye"

Michael then hung up the phone. I didn't know how Steven would react to Michael being the God father... But Jackie needed Michael back in her life. He was her support.

"So how did everything go?" Steven asked as I walked into our bedroom.

"Michael's coming back."

"Just as I thought. So now he'll be back in our lives hoping that you'll get back with him."

"I explained to him you and I are forever. I hope he understands." Steven looked over at me; he was lying on the bed and patted the spot next to him for me to come lie down as well. "I love you Steven." He just rolled over and kissed my forehead. After that we fell asleep.

**A Couple Hours Later**

Someone pounded hard on our door and rang the doorbell a million times. "Ok I'm coming!" I had just woken up and happened to be in the kitchen. I answered the door and it was Michael. "Michael? I didn't think you'd be here this soon."

"Yeah I kind of drove really fast."

"Oh ok. Well I didn't know you were actually coming straight to my house. Steven's asleep upstairs, so maybe we could talk another time?"

"Oh... that's fine I guess. I am just glad we are going to be friends."

"Me too." I smiled and then said good bye.

***About Five Months later***

Everything was going fine with Michael, Steven, and me. Well Steven had finally grown to the idea of Michael being the God father of our baby. "Jackie are you coming?"

"Yeah Steven I'll be there in a minute. Do you even begin to understand how hard it is for a pregnant lady who is seven months along to walk down these stairs?" I was so fat it was disgusting. I couldn't even look at a mirror. But I was happy inside because I knew that it was mine and Steven's baby growing inside.

"Oh my gosh you're right. I should've helped you." He took my hand and led me to the car. We were getting our ultrasound to see what the sex of the baby was. We weren't going to at all, but I wanted to know what colors I should paint the nursery in.

We drove to the doctors and finally got there. Steven helped me out of the car and into the little room where we waited. Then a nurse came in and said the doctor was on his way. I laid on the little bed thing and pulled my shirt off my belly. I didn't have real noticeable stretch marks, which was good. Then the doctor came in. "Good afternoon Mrs. Hyde. How are you feeling?"

"Fine I guess. Just I've been really uncomfortable lately."

"Well that's quite normal. And you two are here to know the sex correct?"

"Yes." Steven said anxiously. He said he didn't want to know but I could see the excitement in his eyes.

"Alright well I'm just going to rub this jelly substance on your stomach and we'll know in just a few." I smiled and Steven and he kissed my forehead. "Hmm... well everything looks good. Baby's heartbeat is great and normal, everything's developing fine, and you are going to be parents to a wonderful baby...girl! Congratulations. Now I'll print off the ultrasound pictures for you and I'll be back in a minute." He smiled at us and Steven clinched my hand with happiness.

"Oh my Gosh, Steven a little girl!" I kept smiling then gave him a kiss.

"Wow I'm going to have a little girl. She is going to be a daddy's girl I hope you know."

"No! She's not going to love you more than me! How about she's just our little girl?" He nodded and kissed me again.

"I love you Jackie."

"I love you too. Now we need to think of a name."

"Well… we can do that after we tell everyone the news." We then drove to Donna's house and knocked on the door.

"Oh hey you guys. Eric's making the chicken right now. You can sit down while we wait." We sat on their couch which was not exactly the best fabric, but then again it was Eric and Donna. After about fifteen minutes Eric came inside and we all ate.

"So is the baby a boy or girl?" Donna asked us impatiently.

I answered first since I was so excited. "It's a little girl!"

"Oh my gosh! That's so weird because Eric and I went today too and found out we were having a little boy!"

"I know what you're thinking and my little girl isn't going to run around with some Foreman." Steven said, but laughed a little at the end and we all knew it was a joke.

"Well they can still be best friends. Like Eric and Donna."

"Yeah except your girl will be rich and across town, while our boy will be… well normal. So in the end it's kind of not like us at all." Eric said.

"She will be normal too!" I was starting to get offended. I mean we weren't rich. Steven and I just happened to get the mansion for free, but other than that we were just like Eric and Donna.

"Eric and Jackie you both need to calm down. Let me take the dishes into the kitchen. Anyone want some cake?" I immediately raised my hand.

"Have you guys thought of a name?" Eric asked. Steven and I looked at each other.

"Well actually I had a name in mind." Steven looked at me a little confused, but waited for my suggestion. "I was thinking of Chrissie. I've liked that name since I was little. It was my best friend's name in kindergarten."

"I like that name too. That's what we will name her." Steven smiled at me and gave me a kiss. We left after the cake.

***Donna's P.O.V***

My body aches all over, especially my feet now that my stomach was so big. Being pregnant wasn't exactly great, but I knew in the end it would be worth it. Lately my thoughts and memories from high school were just everywhere. I would sleep and have dreams of events in high school and everything would remind me of it. Maybe it was because my life was changing now. Maybe it's because I'm afraid of growing up. Well it's too late for these thoughts now; I have a husband and a baby to worry with. I wasn't really ready for this, but I'll take my life as it comes to me.

"Donna are you in there?"

"Yeah Eric, I'm in our room." He came in and showed me the color he was painting the crib. I just nodded. I didn't really care seeing how the baby wouldn't know the difference.

"That's nice. When will it be done?"

"Probably by tomorrow evening. I'll work on it during my lunch break and then when I get home." I kissed him then he went and worked some more.

I was so tired all the time. I was seven and a half months. We went to the doctors every month. The baby's heart was good and there weren't any deformations. Ever since I fell I was so worried about the baby. Then Jackie told Kelso to come back and that just made it worse. Almost everyday he was around to say sorry, but I just couldn't handle it. Then he would send Fez to say it for him. But Eric finally made it clear that Kelso wasn't welcome here to our house.

"Eric I'm going to bed. Goodnight." He walked over and kissed me on the cheek. I walked off and lay down.

***Next Morning, Hyde's P.O.V***

It was about nine in the morning now. Jackie was already up because she's uncomfortable lying down. It was middle of January now and even though it was freezing and snowing here in Point Place, Jackie was always hot due to the pregnancy. I walked downstairs into the kitchen where she was snacking on some fruit salad. "Good morning." She looked up and smiled at me as I said that to her.

"Well look who is finally up and about." She pushed her bowl of mixed fruits over to me and I took a few bites.

"We have coffee that I can make right?"

"I already made it for you Steven. I had nothing else to do." She smiled at me.

"You don't have to make my coffee. I mean you really shouldn't be doing anything right now. I know you're seven months along and everything has been perfect, but that doesn't mean things can't go wrong now."

"Steven I know. I just had nothing to do. In a few I'm going to leave and buy some clothes for after I have the baby. I haven't gained much weight, except for the baby's weight so I'm thinking I only need to go up a couple sizes." I looked at her and laughed to myself knowing that she didn't even want to go up one size.

"You don't expect me to shop with you right?"

"No I don't." I gave her a kiss and headed off to the bathroom to take my shower.

***Jackie's P.O.V***

I didn't really want to go shopping by myself. I was afraid of something happening and not getting any help. But Steven had been doing everything for me anyways so I wanted to give him a break. I got in the car and drove off.

I pulled up into the parking lot of the mall. I got out and walked into the double glass doors. Knowing exactly where to go I walked with a fast pace to the woman's department. When I got there I was out of breath and felt a cramp in my stomach. Well I mean… I figured it was my stomach; I didn't even want to think about it being the baby. So I stopped and leaned on a little shelf, but the cramps turned into sharp pains. In just a few seconds I was on my knees holding my stomach. A tall man who was a worker in the store came over and yelled for someone to call for help.

***Hyde's P.O.V***

I got out of the shower and got dressed, rubbed the towel through my hair quickly and took off to Eric's house.

When I got there, they were just watching T.V so they invited me in. "Hey Hyde, we were going to the basement later to meet with Fez, want to go?" Eric asked me.

"Sure I guess."

"Where's Jackie? Is she coming later?"

"No she's out shopping for clothes. You know for after the baby and all."

"So she'll be back around tomorrow…?" We all laughed knowing Jackie was very picky about clothes and did take forever. But she didn't like shopping for large clothes and it had already been an hour. Where was she?

***At the hospital, Jackie's P.O.V***

"Where am I? What happened?"

"You're at Point Place Hospital. You fainted in the mall and could be in serious danger. What's your name miss?"

"I'm … I'm Jackie Hyde."

"Is there someone you would like us to call?"

"Call Steven. He needs to know, he'll be worrying soon."

"Steven who? Miss… hurry get her to the examination room. She's blacked out."

***Hyde's P.O.V***

"Where is Jackie? She should have been home by now. I'm going to go to the mall and see if she's still there. I'll talk to you guys later." I drove to the mall and ran to the women's clothing. I asked a worker if he had seen a girl and gave him the description of Jackie. He nodded and told me she had fainted while holding her stomach. He said they went to Point Place Hospital and before he could finish I ran to the car and sped to the hospital. When I got there I asked for Jackie Hyde, but they told me she was in examination and I couldn't go in. I waited by the room they gave me. I called Eric and Donna, and then they called fez and the Foreman's.

They all showed up within half an hour. Donna was crying, the pregnancy made her really emotional. Jackie was like that too. A little later Jackie was rolled into her room, but I couldn't go in until they got her all set up. "I'm guessing you're Steven?"

"Yes that's me. Is she ok?"

"Jackie experienced something we can't quite explain, and something we don't know how to treat. All we know is that she won't be going home soon and will be under frequent surveillance."

"May I go see her now?"

"Yes you can go see her. But don't upset her or get her worried in any way. She knows the situation and is very emotional." After he was done talking I went into Jackie's room. She looked up at me and forced a smile, while wiping a tear away.

"Hey there. I guess you heard what happened?"

"Yeah I did. I'm staying here every second until you get out. I just can't believe this is happening."

"I know. But Steven I think it's going to be ok. I mean it just has to be." I went over to her and kissed her.

"You have to get some sleep Jackie. You'll need plenty of rest." She nodded and snuggled down into the pillows and closed her eyes.

I sat there next to the bed not wanting to blink or close my eyes knowing that it could change everything. I was so afraid to miss anything now, knowing that it could be my last hours with my baby girl. I couldn't sleep with the sound of the heart monitors. There was one for Jackie… and one for Chrissie. After an hour Jackie kind of woke up again. She squeezed my hand and smiled at me. I leaned in for a kiss. I looked into her eyes, she closed them again. "I love you Steven."

"I love you too Jackie, and Chrissie too." The heart monitor kept going. But as I heard it I froze in fear.

Beep… Beep… Beep… Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. I didn't know what to do. I sat there in disbelief.
