Author Note: I actually had some time, so I decided to write another chapter!
Jackie lay silently in her hospital bed; she knew what Hyde and Eric were up to but she decided to play dumb. She didn't want to deal with them anyways. All she wanted was to have Marissa back so that she could get out of Point Place once and for all. She didn't want to be here anymore; and besides that Marissa wasn't going to be in the states anymore now that Jackie had spent a million to send her away for four years. It was something she was sure that she needed. Soon she would be away from Donna, Eric, and most of all Steven Hyde. That was something that she wanted and something that she needed. He still was treating like a moron; he thought it was funny on how she chose to raise Marissa and he made every attempt to defy her orders regarding her daughter.
Why should he have a say in Marissa's life? After all, he was never around when she was growing up. So it wouldn't make a difference whether or not they decided to leave Point Place. Someone knocked on the door and Jackie looked up to see her mother in-law and a detective standing outside the door. She motioned for them to come in. Her mother took a seat next to her and the detective sat on the other side of her.
"So what can I do for you sir?" She asked him.
"Mrs. Dawson what kind of relationship do you have with your daughter's father?" Anders asked.
"I don't know why?" Jackie asked him.
"Mrs. Dawson this is a very important question and I need an answer from you immediately." Anders said.
"Well, we were close in the past but now we hardly speak to each other." Jackie responded.
"Does he seem too envy you for having full custody of your daughter?" Anders asked.
"Who, Steven Hyde?" She laughed.
"Yes Mrs. Dawson; this not funny; this is very important.
But Jackie couldn't help it.
"Jackie this is not funny; this is serious. Steven is being charged with kidnapping and attacking you and Marissa today." Her mother in-law said.
"WHAT?!" She shouted.
"That's right; I've seen to it that he pays for doing this." Her mother in-law said.
"Oh now I know you're crazy! Steven didn't hurt me or kidnap Marissa. Why would he what would he have to gain. Plus, he's injured himself. So you see, he couldn't have done it." Jackie responded.
"Actually we think he might have injured himself to make it look like an accident." Anders said.
"Well tell me this then, if he did it then how did he manage to attack Marissa when he and I were arguing downstairs when Marissa was taken? Huh? Well, do you know or are you going to just sit there dumbfounded." Jackie asked the detective.
"Jackie, darling I don't think you get it. Steven Hyde is nothing but a vicious man." Her mother in-law chimed in.
"What has he done that was so vicious? In the amount of time that you've known me, has he ever threatened us?" She asked.
"No."
"Has ever threatened to take away Marissa?" Jackie said.
"No."
"Has ever attacked Marissa or hurt her in any way shape or form?" Jackie asked.
"No."
"Well you see detective, it's a lost cause. Steven Hyde is innocent. Unless, you have any further proof I'll be forced to not believe you and you will be forced to realize that you don't have a case against him." Jackie said.
"Mrs. Dawson I didn't mean to upset you." Anders said noticing the anger that was building up in her eyes.
"Yeah well you did." Jackie said.
"I'll leave you to rest for now." Anders said and then walked off.
He was able to hold her down; finally the bitch was getting what she deserved. Everything had happened so fast; the police arrived and the paramedics came after them. They grabbed her from his arms and hauled her off. He stood up and saw what he couldn't believe the most; Donna was standing next to Hyde. The paramedics rushed in and grabbed Hyde, Donna, and Marissa, and rushed off. He was the only one left minus the two cops and the one detective. He walked down the hallway and into the basement; but first he put the lights on.
The basement smelt like old throw-up and some other nasty odors. He saw on one side of the basement chains and blood and on the other rope and blood. He then realized that Valerie had been keeping Donna and Marissa down here. He wondered if Donna knew that Marissa was down here. He left quickly for the hospital.
"Why must you insist on defending him? He left Marissa without a father. Although I must say my dear son, Robert, was much better father then he'll ever be. It's hard for people like him to understand the true meaning of sacrifice." She said.
"Why must you start this lecture with me right now? Why can't you leave things alone for once in your life? This has nothing to do with you; I will make my own decisions when it concerns Marissa and her relationship with her father." Jackie said.
"Jackie I'm concerned about you and Marissa deeply. I know what's best for you. I was once a mother myself I know how the Steven Hyde's of the world turn out. Your best bet is to get as far away as possible." She replied.
"But I don't want to." Jackie said.
"Why not?" She asked.
"Because I still love him." She responded.
Jackie's mother wasn't the only one shocked at her daughter in-laws response because as soon as she said it, they were wheeling Marissa's bed right into her room.
"Yeah, now we can be a real family!" Marissa shouted out.
"Marissa, sweetie don't you dare say anything to anyone; you misheard what I said.
"Hey daddy guess what mommy said." Marissa said to her father.
"What's that Marissa?" He asked.
Jackie jumped up to cover her child's mouth but little Marissa let the words come pouring out faster than Jackie could ever imagine.
