"Well Hyde you don't have a choice now. You have to marry Valerie." Donna said.
"Donna why does he have to marry her. They are both going to have his baby." Eric said.
"So what; he was going to marry Valerie first so he should marry her now." Donna said.
"If he doesn't love her then he shouldn't have to marry her." Eric said.
"It's the right thing to do; besides Jackie's moved on." Donna said.
"What do you mean she's moved on?" Hyde asked.
"I mean that I took the opportunity to set her up with a friend of mine." Donna said.
"Who did you set her up with?" Eric asked.
"Robert Dawson; the son of the richest man in Point Place." Donna said with excitement.
"Why did you do that?" Eric asked.
"I was helping Jackie find someone so she could also move like Hyde has moved on; right Hyde." She asked.
"Yeah Right." Hyde said.
"Hyde you are over Jackie right?" Donna asked with worry.
There was silence in the room. Donna stared at him intently while he pondered this question.
"Yes I am." Hyde said.
"So how are you going to prove to all of us that you are over her?" Donna asked.
"I'm going to do the right thing and ask Valerie to marry me soon." Hyde said.
"Good; that's what I want to here. I think that you should go tell her now." Donna said.
"Yeah you're right I should go and ask her." Hyde said.
He walked out of the basement in total silence. He knew what he had to do. He couldn't move in with Jackie now that Valerie was carrying his baby. It wouldn't be a fair thing to do to her. She had stuck around since summer had begun. Jackie on the other hand left him; he didn't know what was worse the fact that she couldn't make up her mind between him and Kelso or the fact that she had kept her pregnancy a secret for three months. Donna was right; Jackie had lied to him about the baby. Maybe she was better off with Kelso. After all, she was with him to begin with and she was with him at the end of their relationship.
Hyde parked his car outside of Valerie's house. He was reluctant to go in; his life had fallen apart and the worst part was he didn't even remember sleeping with Valerie. He remembered waking up next to her but that was all. Kelso, Foreman, and him all had gotten drunk at a party the night before. It didn't matter whether or not he remembered what matter was that he did and now he had to live up to the fact that he was going to be a father two children instead of one.
"Valerie honey, you are such a genius." Her mother said.
"What do you mean mom?" She asked.
"Well, I mean how did you kill two birds with one stone?" She asked.
"Well, when we went to that party I simply drugged Eric's drinks and made sure that Hyde got drunk." She said with a smile.
"Well, you have finally accomplished our goal my dear. Now how long have you been pregnant for?" Her mother asked.
"Three weeks." Valerie said.
"Isn't that a week before Jackie came back to Point Place." She asked.
"Yes it is; I overheard Mrs. Foreman and Jackie talking on the phone. I knew along that she was pregnant and that she was coming back to tell Hyde. She was hoping to reconcile with him. That's when I decided to set my plan into action." She said.
"Good job my dear." Her mother said.
"What's going on in here?" Hyde said.
It was obvious that he had ruined there little conversation. Valerie and her mother thought that there plan had been ruined; but they were wrong.
"What do you mean Hyde?" Valerie asked in a worried voice.
"What are you talking about?" He asked.
"Well, Valerie was thinking about moving to her father's in New York and I was trying to convince her to stay." Her mother said.
"So you said good job to her?" He asked.
"Well I was telling her that she would do a good job at being a mother." She said.
Hyde looked at her strangely before turning his attention to Valerie.
"Valerie can I talk to you in the other room for a moment?" Hyde asked.
"Yeah sure; mother I'll be right back." She said.
"That's okay dear take all the time that you need." She said.
"So Steven what did you want to talk to me about?" Valerie said.
"Valerie I think that we should get married as soon as possible." Hyde said.
"Are you sure about that, Hyde?" Valerie asked.
"Yes I'm sure about it. So when do you want to get married." He asked.
"How about in three months." Valerie said.
"Three months it is then." He said and then kissed her on the cheek.
Hyde walked out the door and back into his car. Now came the difficult part, telling Jackie.
Jackie had just woken up from her nap on the couch. She was feeling cold and she had pain shooting up her arms. She heard Hyde come into the house. He came into the living room. He looked very upset and worried; she could tell by the expression left in his eyes. He smiled at her and then took a seat next to her on the couch.
"Jackie I have something very important to tell you." He said.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Valerie's pregnant and I'm the father." Hyde said.
"I see." She said.
"Jackie I'm marrying her in three months." Hyde said.
"Hyde I think that it's best that move in with Valerie then." She said.
"Jackie you can't afford to live here." He said.
"And you can't afford to drag me along with you and Valerie she said.
"Jackie I'll help you out; you I know I will right?" Hyde said.
"You don't have to worry about that." She said.
"Why not?" He asked.
"I got a job; well actually I got two jobs." She said.
"What about school?" He asked.
"I'm going night school." She said.
"So you're going to work two jobs and go to night school. Jackie how are you going to manage to do that?" He asked.
"I'll manage Hyde." She said.
"Jackie you don't have to do that; I'll help pay for whatever expenses you need." Hyde said.
"Hyde you are getting married and you're having a child with her. Your obligation to me comes second now. Valerie should be more important to you than me." She said.
"Jackie you don't..."
"I understand perfectly. If the situation was reversed that's how I would want it to be. You should go pack now." She said.
Jackie sadly watched as he gathered all of his stuff and left her house. Her relationship to Steven Hyde was now officially over with. She looked up at the clock and realized that her date would be here to pick her up soon. She went up stairs to get ready; don't want to be a mess. She thought to herself.
Eric was the only one left in the basement when Hyde had arrived.
"So how did it go?" He asked.
"Well, I'm marrying Valerie and Jackie now knows." He said.
He began walking to his room when Eric stopped him.
"Hey Hyde." He said.
"What Foreman?" He said.
"Before you found out that Valerie was pregnant, what were you going over to tell Valerie when you went over there?" He asked.
"I was going to tell her to go and find someone else." Hyde said.
"Why?" He asked.
"I wanted to try and reconcile with Jackie; but that doesn't matter anymore." Hyde said and then walked into his room.
Eric sat there and pondered this for a moment. Valerie's sudden announcement of her pregnancy was somewhat strange to him. He couldn't put his finger on it but it seemed as though Valerie didn't sleep with Hyde. If she didn't sleep with him then who did she sleep with? He thought. Oh never mind he thought. It's probably just my imagination working over time.
"Donna why does he have to marry her. They are both going to have his baby." Eric said.
"So what; he was going to marry Valerie first so he should marry her now." Donna said.
"If he doesn't love her then he shouldn't have to marry her." Eric said.
"It's the right thing to do; besides Jackie's moved on." Donna said.
