Where Is Your Heart?

Disclaimer: I do not own any of That 70's Show characters, but I desperately want Danny Masterson. Yummy…

Summary: This is what I think happened after 'Till the Next Goodbye'.

Author's Note: I was inspired to write this story by a friend of mine (who is very understanding of my strange obsession) and the song "Where Is Your Heart?" by Kelly Clarkson. I don't know if this will be any more then a one chapter thing, but it could get longer.

Chicago

She had never seen him that angry. Yeah, there were times when she pissed him off. She would say the wrong thing to purposely make him feel something or show any kind of emotion but this was enormous. He couldn't even hind his fury behind his glasses. "Steven…" Jackie ventured. Hyde just looked at her. He couldn't even think. He wanted to kill Kelso if he touched Jackie and he wanted to get as far away from Jackie's gaze as possible.

"Steven…" Jackie tried again.

"I can't do it." Hyde turned to leave but Jackie was faster. Even though she was scared and much smaller then the doorway she tried her best to keep Hyde in the motel room.

"Please, just let me explain." Jackie pleaded placing her hands on Hyde's chest. Hyde moved back like she had burned him. Tears instantly sprung to her eyes.

"Explain what? How I ruined your night of sex-capades with Kelso!" He was starting to get upset.

"No! It's not what it looked like! Please just let me explain." Tears were now flowing freely down Jackie's porcelain cheeks.

Hyde could never stand it when Jackie cried, he would always want to hold her and tell her that it would all be better soon. But now his pain was over powering his will to hold her. "Fine. Tell me what happened."

"Well Michael dropped me off and I was so lonely that I called everyone I knew from Point Place, except for you because I knew that if I talked to you that I would just want to come home right away. The last person I called was Michael and I told him that I missed you, and that I was really lonely, and he came back out here. He walked into my room and said that he knew exactly how to make me feel better. He said that we should do it. I said no. I promise you that I said no. Anyway, we had gotten into an argument and people were looking in from the window. He told me no one could see us but yeah they can. During the argument he tried to kiss me and I poured my pop on him and hit him on the head, I guess pretty hard because he went to go get ice. And that's when you walked in." Jackie walked toward Hyde as he sat down on the edge of the bed. She kneeled down in between his legs with a hand on each of his knees. "Steven you have to believe me. I would never do that to you… I love you."

Hyde looked down and took his glasses off. His hands tried to find something to do and ended up running through his hair. Hyde looked back down at Jackie. He never understood how she did that, make him feel something. She was unbelievable. She was beautiful, and kind, when she wanted to be, and she loved him. Unconditionally. No one had ever loved him the way she did. Every one that had loved him or at least were supposed to had left. And so did she. "Then why did you leave?"

It was a simple question. One that she knew the answer to, backwards and forwards. But telling him to his ocean blue eyes, when for once he's actually showing an emotion other then anger. "I left because I knew you'd say no." Jackie took a deep breath and sat on the bed next to Hyde. "And I didn't think that I'd be able to live if I heard it from you face to face." She looked over at him. "Some how you became more important to me than anything."

"Why do you think I would say no?"

"Because Eric told me you were passed out in the back of a beer warehouse."

"So you left, because I was passed out drunk."

"No! Because I know you! I know that when you get so drunk that you pass out it's because you have nothing better to do!"

"Or because I want to escape reality! Or because I have to think about something serious!" Hyde stood up, his anger building. "Damn it, Jackie! Do you really think I would just blow something like this off? You know some where along the way you became the most important thing to me. And that scared me. Everyone that I've ever loved or counted on has left in one shape or another. Then you gave me the choice of the rest of your life! That's not an easy answer. If I asked you to stay, what happens when we're old and gray and still live in the Foreman's basement? You'd resent me and leave. I wouldn't be able to take that. Jack, I don't know my life past a day. But when I do think of the future, on highly rare occasions," He paused and knelt down in front of Jackie, "all I see is you."

"Wow. That was better then love story." Jackie was in utter shock. She lifted her hand and placed it on Hyde's cheek, to make sure he wasn't some crazy dream. Hyde crocked his finger under her chin and brought her lips to his.

The kiss was slow and sweet. There wasn't passion; there weren't any fireworks. There was just them. Jaclyn and Steven, just like they had always been. Sure, they fought a lot but that was the only way they knew how to express them selves. They were two of the most stubborn people in the world but they loved each other more then life itself. And that was exact what was conveyed in the kiss.

When they pulled apart Jackie was still in a daze. She couldn't even feel her legs. But wait why was this happening? 'Because Steven had showed up in Chicago.' Jackie thought. 'But, why?' "Steven, what are you doing here?"

Hyde looked up at Jackie and smiled. "You never did let me answer you."

"You came all the way to Chicago to…" Jackie couldn't finish her sentence. This couldn't be happening. She had never imagined this in her wildest dreams.

"I came all the way to Chicago to ask you to marry me, because I can't spend a day without thinking about you."

"Oh. My. God."

"Jackie will you come with me?"

"Oh. My. God."

"Jackie will you be my wife?"

"Oh my god."

"Jackie?"

"Uh…" Jackie knew what her answer was, and Hyde knew what her answer was but there was just something funny about playing with him. "I'm gonna have to get back to you on that one." She said smiling.

"Get back to me? Oh, you're gonna get it!" Hyde lunged on Jackie finding every spot he's ever known that tickled her.

"Yes! YES! OKAY!" Jackie screamed in spurts of laughter.

Hyde stilled his hands and looked down at the blue and green of Jackie's eyes.

She smiled up at him wrapping her arms around his neck. "Yes."
