"I can't believe the nerve of that girl." Kitty said to Donna and Valerie as she made Christmas cookies.
"Mrs. Foreman that's just how Jackie works." Donna said.
"Well it was really rude of her not to send out any invitations to her friends and family." Kitty said.
"Well, I'm sure she didn't mean to." Valerie said.
"I'm sure she did." Donna said.
"Donna I don't know why you're so mad at Jackie." Kitty said.
"Well its things like this that have totally made me dislike her." Donna said.
Eric came into the kitchen and saw Valerie there with Donna and his mother. He had enough of her. It had only been a couple hours since Jackie had left for Paris and the whole place had become gloomy. Hyde had called from the airport to say that the plane had taken off. Eric hadn't picked up the phone though; Valerie had and she made sure that she rubbed it in his face. He had also learned that she had gotten the wedding invitation from the mail. It looked like she had won again and that all hope for a reunion between Hyde and Jackie would not happen at all.
Did he actually think that I would let Hyde see Jackie's wedding invitation? I have worked way too hard for anyone to ruin my plans. I'm so glad that I didn't have to use that rat poisoning. I could always save it for someone else like Eric or Kitty. Kitty for those bland cookies she makes. Hasn't she ever taken a cooking class before in her life? I don't know why I'm going through with all of this when I'm going to end up killing him anyways. My mother told me that when I marry him it will be his last 24 hours on earth. I don't understand what that means but I'm willing to find out. I wish I knew what the second part of the plan is but mother says I have to complete the first part of the plan first. So now there's nothing to stop me from having a Christmas wedding. I wonder what is taking Hyde so long to get home. What is he doing? Crying over her. I'm just glad that I have finally gotten her out of my life. All I have to do now is marry Hyde and make sure that nothing comes between that; even if that means killing a few people to get the job done.
Kitty looked over at Valerie who was sitting at the kitchen table. There was something about her that was sending chills up her spine. She didn't know what it was all she knew was that it was bothering her. The way that she sat there and smiled made Kitty feel like Valerie was evil; but how could that be? Since she first met Valerie she always got the sense that she was a nice decent young woman. She had never gotten any bad vibes from her before. Kitty then decided that it must have been the anxiety over Jackie getting married and being pregnant with Hyde's child that must have gotten to her; not Valerie's evil looking smile. Donna told Kitty that she had to go and see her father. Kitty said okay and went back to making Christmas cookies.
Red came into kitchen with the newspaper and the beer in hands. He was tired from having to here Bob cry about Joanne. If he had to listen to him one more minute he was sure to have another heart attack. He sat down at the table next to Valerie and began to read the paper.
"Kitty, where's Steven? I want to talk to him and Jackie about the baby that's going to be on the way." Red said.
"Um Red honey, Jackie got married this afternoon." Kitty said.
"What? To who?" He asked.
"To Robert Dawson the most richest man in Point Place." Kitty said.
"Well then who's Steven going to be with?... He turned and looked at Valerie...oh you that's right. You know I think you should go find someone else to leech off of. Steven really doesn't like you. I can tell by the way he looks at you." Red said.\
"Red that's very impolite and rude thing for you to say; apologize to Valerie right now." Kitty said.
"Well, I'm just stating the facts." Red said.
"Red Foreman I want you to apologize to her right now." Kitty demanded.
"Fine, I'm sorry for stating the obvious facts at which you seem to overlook." Red said.
"Red." Kitty said.
"Okay...alright...fine...I'm sorry." Red said rudely.
"That's much better. Don't you feel better now Red?" Kitty asked him.
"No actually, I don't." Red said.
"It's okay Mrs. Foreman, I totally understand." Valerie said.
"Valerie you shouldn't be treated in such a way." Kitty said.
"I'm alright with it." Valerie said.
"You see Kitty, problem solved." Red said.
"Red I'm not even going to comment on that." Kitty said.
"Okay so where is Steven? I still need to talk to him at least." Red said.
"He's at the airport." Kitty said.
"Why is he at the airport?" Red asked.
"I'll tell you why he's there dad; he was trying to stop Jackie. He tried to stop her at the church but was too late and he tried to stop her from going to Paris and he was too late again. You know who's fault this is don't you? It's her fault; she's nothing but a conniving bitch." Eric said.
"Eric, what the hell?" Donna said; she had overheard everything that he had said.
"Oh Donna it's time to stop playing stupid. She's been playing this whole family since we met her. She would do anything to make sure that nothing got in her way." Eric said.
"And she should Eric." Donna said.
"Even by killing Donna?" Eric asked her.
Donna didn't answer him but he could tell by the look on her face that he had one that part of the argument; good, maybe he could finally break some ground with them. If he could break Donna's stance on Valerie then that would be it. She would be done in. He looked over at Valerie who had a worried look on her face. Then it happened, Donna regained her composure.
"Eric, you're such a bastard. You haven't liked Valerie since she first started dating Hyde and hanging around here. You've always tried to look at the bad not the good parts of Valerie. Why don't you just grow-up?" Donna said.
"Why don't you just grow-up Donna. You're too blinded by your denial that you won't even open your eyes up and see her faults. She's nothing but a lying scheming, manipulative bitch. So Valerie I wondered what happened to that wedding invitation? Do you know what happened to it?" He asked her.
"You know what I don't have to take this anymore. I'm out of here." Valerie said and then got up to go.
"Sit down." Red demanded.
"Why should I?" Valerie asked.
"Eric's asking you a question and I actually want to here the answer to this one." Red said.
"Well...I don't know how to answer this question." Valerie said.
"So you did steal the invitations. I knew it; see Donna, Valerie's was just manipulating you the whole entire time." Eric said.
"I wouldn't know how to answer that question because I was home with my sick mom." Valerie said.
"What?! Oh come on, Donna you aren't going to believe that story are you?" Eric asked her.
"Oh and like I'm going to believe your made up story Eric. Stop trying to blame Valerie for Jackie's mistakes and problems." Donna said.
"Donna you know what? I'm done with you. You have to be one of the most cold hearted people I have ever met. Jackie was your friend; she had been your friend for a long time when you didn't have anyone else. You even admitted to me that she was your only best friend. Hyde cheated on her and she was upset about it and she should have been. How could she pick him after what had happened with Kelso? She decided that she needed time to think so she went away to think about it. I don't know why she didn't tell Hyde the truth about being pregnant. She made a mistake there but on the other hand she didn't have anyone to talk to. She called a few times to talk to you but you refused to do so. Donna, Jackie's your friend and you weren't there for her. When she needed a shoulder to cry on where were you? You were with Valerie. You know if you hadn't gotten on the phone and talked to her and encouraged her, she might have come home way earlier than she did. She needed someone and you weren't there; you're just as bad as her parents. She's needed them for the longest time now and they weren't there; they were never there for her. She's always counted on you to help her through her tough times and this time was no different. Now she's married to the wrong person and having another person's baby; the person that she loves. Donna I don't care how mad you were at Jackie for leaving; it wasn't your place to judge her. She didn't need anyone else coming down on her and that's exactly what you did. Donna I can't be with someone who puts strangers ,she doesn't know anything about, before their friends. I never have and I never will; and that's exactly what you did to Jackie. I haven't always been as nice to Jackie as I could have been but she's part of our group so therefore she's a friend. Donna I hope you can sleep at night knowing what you've done to Jackie; I know I will because at least I was there for her when you weren't." Eric said.
Everyone stood there and shock at what Eric had just said. Valerie sat there nervously while Kitty looked angry. For the first time in a long time, Red looked at Eric with understanding in his eyes. Donna on the other hand didn't show any emotions; she took the engagement ring off of her finger and handed it to Eric. She left his house quietly; Kitty began to cry and ran out after Donna. Red stood up and went over to Eric; he looked him in the eye and then hugged him. He then went into the living room. Eric and Valerie were left alone in the kitchen. She stood up to meet his stare.
"So why did you do that? Why did you break-up with someone that you've loved forever?" Valerie said.
"So that I can bring you down without her getting in the way or getting hurt. You see I remembered that little threat you made to me that night out in the restaurant parking lot. If I'm not with Donna anymore than you can't break us up and you can't hurt her." Eric said.
"You just hurt her when you broke up with her." Valerie said.
"Yeah but once I expose you for the tramp you are, I intend on getting Donna back. This is for her own good; oh and Valerie I can play dirty as well. There's no way in hell I'm going to let you break apart my friends. You see Valerie that's one thing that you haven't learned about friends; they don't let bitches like you come between their friendship." Eric said and then began to walk away.
"There's no way you're going to beat me." Valerie said.
Valerie then lunged at him with a knife. Eric turned around and...
Jackie and Robert had been in the plane for a few hours. They were already over the ocean when Jackie began to feel a sharp pain. She ignored but then it came back again. She screamed out in agony. The flight attendants came over to her.
"Miss, is there anything wrong?" They asked.
"Yes there is; my water just broke." She said.
"Are you sure about that?" They asked with worry.
"Yes I'm quite sure about it." Jackie said.
The flight attendants helped Jackie over to a couch, in first class, and alerted the captain.
"What do you mean her water broke?" He asked.
"I mean it broke." She replied.
"Well we're right in the middle of the Atlantic. There's nothing I can do about it. She's going to have to have the baby on the plane. I'll call the airport and ask for them to radio in a doctor." He said.
Hyde was still sitting at the gate when he heard all of the commotion. The receptionist was freaking out. He went over to her and asked what was wrong.
"I'm sorry sir but I can't give you any information about the flight." She said.
"Is that the flight to Paris?" He asked.
"Yes sir it is." She said.
"Well my girlfr...I mean my friend, who's on that flight, is pregnant; I was just making sure that she's alright that's all." He said
"Wait a minute sir don't leave yet; what's her name sir.?" She asked.
"Jackie Burkhart." He replied.
"Oh I think you should know that her water broke then." She said.
Hyde stood there in shock.
"Mrs. Foreman that's just how Jackie works." Donna said.
"Well it was really rude of her not to send out any invitations to her friends and family." Kitty said.
"Well, I'm sure she didn't mean to." Valerie said.
