Jackie opened her eyes to find that the next day had started. As soon as she sat up she began to feel nauseas. Throwing her covers over, she sprang up and ran out of the room. After she was done, she reached for a cup of water and rinsed her mouth out. While rinsing she realized that the water was on. How did that happen? She thought out loud.
"I turned it on, that's how it happened." Hyde said.
"Why did you do that?" Jackie asked.
"Well, I figured that if I'm going to be living here I'm going to want..."
"Who said anything about living here?" She asked.
"You did." He said.
"When did I say that?" She asked.
"Last night, just before I helped you into the bed; remember you were burning up." He said.
"Well then it was the fever talking?" She said.
"So which room do I get?" He asked.
"You don't get a room." She said.
"Why not?" He asked.
"You're not staying here. Now please turn off the electricity and the water." She asked.
"Actually I am staying here until the baby is born." He said.
"I don't think that's a good idea. Now please go." She said.
"Jackie I think it's a great idea." Hyde said.
"It's not a great idea. I'm sure that Valerie won't be happy about it." Jackie said.
"Well who cares what she thinks. Jackie don't worry about it. I know how I'm going to handle Valerie." He said.
"How if you don't mind me asking." Jackie asked.
"I'm not going to tell her." He said.
"What are you crazy she'll kill me?" Jackie said.
"What do you mean she'll kill you?" Hyde asked.
"Um...nothing." She said.
"I'm going to act like I'm still staying at the Foreman's." Hyde said.
"I don't think that's a good idea." She said.
"Jackie I'm staying here whether you like it or not; now can I have this room over here?" He asked.
Jackie sighed before responding to his request.
"Fine but I have some ground rules before you can move in." She said.
"Okay what are they?" He asked.
"First of all, you can't but into my personal life and second of all you have to leave me alone." Jackie said.
"Agree." He said.
"Okay then. Now if you'll excuse me I have to be going now." She said.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"You just promised that you wouldn't ask me about my personal life." She said.
"Okay fine I won't ask you another question." He said.
He waited until she walked out of the house. He promised that he wouldn't ask another question but he didn't promise not to follow her. He went outside but was soon stopped by Donna and Eric.
"Listen, I'm in a hurry. I don't really need another lecture speech from you." He said to Donna.
"This isn't about a lecture it's about Valerie; she came over looking for you at around ten. We told her that you weren't here. She then came back around six this morning and went into your room; but you weren't there. Hyde, I think that's she super pissed." Donna said.
"I'm sure she is but I have some priorities that I need to get in order before I can get married." Hyde said.
"Well I don't see why you don't just marry her now; unless you're still in love with Jackie." Eric said.
"No it's not that...it's just that...I can't marry Valerie until I take care of the baby." Hyde said.
"Jackie could move back to New York and when the baby is born; you could switch off on taking care of him or her." Donna said.
"No she can't do that." Hyde said.
"Why not?" Donna asked.
"Well...because I said so." Hyde said.
"Hyde she's going to have to move on with her life and maybe she going to want to leave here one day. Are you going to stop her then?" Donna asked.
"Um...well..."
"Hyde if you want to be with Valerie then be with Valerie. If not then let her go so she can find someone else." Donna said.
"You're right; I have to decide. I can't and I won't drag both of them through this." Hyde said.
"Where are you going now?" Eric asked as Hyde got into his car.
"To find Valerie." He said.
"So who do you think he'll choose?" Eric asked.
"I don't know; I hope he chooses Valerie though." Donna said.
"Why are you so against Jackie all of the sudden?" Eric asked.
"Eric she's the one that left and she's the one that didn't have the decency to tell Hyde that she was pregnant from the beginning. I'm sorry Eric but I don't think that Valerie deserves to loose Hyde to Jackie." Donna said.
"Well I don't agree with you. Hyde's not the type of person to just walk out on a person but if you push him towards someone that he doesn't love, I think the results could be horrible. "Eric said.
"Well, if he picks Jackie then I think that he's a rotten a selfish human for making Valerie think that he's going to marry her." Donna said.
"Valerie, Steven is here." Valerie mother called up the stairs to her.
"I'm coming." She yelled back down.
Valerie cam down the stairs. She saw Hyde sitting on the bottom step. She hopped that he hadn't spent the night at Jackie's.
"Hey what are you doing here?" She asked.
"I came to talk to you about something important." He said.
"What's that?" She asked.
"I came here to talk to you about a decision that I have made." Hyde said.
"Oh and that has to do with Jackie." He said.
"What about her Hyde?" She asked.
"I've decided to..."
"Um dear I'm sorry about interrupting you but the doctor called; he says that it's very important." Her mother said.
"I'm coming; hold on Hyde this is going to have to wait." Valerie said.
"Um okay but I have to be going soon." Hyde said.
Hyde sat at the bottom of the steps waiting for Valerie to come back. When she came back he saw a surprise look on her face.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"I'm pregnant." She said.
The words hit him so suddenly; he didn't know what to do. He sat down on the bottom of the steps. Valerie's mother secretly smiled at her daughter's news. This definitely would keep Hyde and Jackie apart forever. She thought to herself.
"What were you going to tell me?" She said.
"Forget it; I have something to do first. I'll come back in a little while." He said before taking off in a hurry.
"I guess you don't have to worry about killing her." Her mother said.
"It's not Hyde's baby though." Valerie said.
"What do you mean it's not his baby?" She asked.
"Hyde was too drunk that night; so I slept with one of his other friends." She said.
"Who?" She asked.
"Eric Foreman; but that doesn't mean anything. I can still pass it off as his child." Valerie said.
"Yes you can my dear; yes you can." She said.
Donna and Eric were downstairs in the basement when Hyde came rushing in.
"Hey what's up? Who did you pick?" Eric asked.
"I...I picked...damn it...Valerie's pregnant." He said.
They both looked at him stunned.
"Well who wants popcorn; cause I know I'm going to need some as soon as you start telling this story." Eric said and then went upstairs to get some popcorn.
Donna stared at him in disappoint and shock.
"I turned it on, that's how it happened." Hyde said.
"Why did you do that?" Jackie asked.
"Well, I figured that if I'm going to be living here I'm going to want..."
"Who said anything about living here?" She asked.
