A/N: Thanks for the reviews! Hope you all like this one!

A month had passed and no one had heard from Jackie. Everyone was worried about her and although he wouldn't admit it in front of his wife, or anyone else for that matter, Hyde was more worried then anyone. Donna had been waiting to receive something from Jackie but nothing came. No phone calls, no letter, nothing. Everyone asked Donna about Jackie daily, but she had no word to give them.

Sam was starting to become very uncomfortable in the Forman's house. She really liked Hyde and thought that the gang was cool, but Jackie was concerning her, and not in the kind way. Why couldn't everyone just leave her alone? If the girl wanted to run away she could. Sam didn't understand why everyone cared so much. Hyde didn't acted like he really cared and that made her happy, but she was surrounded by others who were concerned for her husbands ex-girlfriend. Sam had not been able to get this off her mind.

"So Steven, how s the record store going?" Red asked one morning while he, Steven and Sam were at the table.

"Fine."

"How's married life treating you?" Red attempted a conversation again.

"Fine Red."

Red could tell that Steven was not in a talking mood. He new what was bothering Hyde even though Hyde never acted like he cared, Red knew that the loud one was on his mind. Red could feel the tension Sam was beginning to develop and he was trying to find a way to lighten the mood. Red's thoughts were broken when Kitty came through the living room door, a look of concern on her face.

"Steven, Sam. A letter came in the mail for you and by some strange coincidence the envelope was open. And then I just happened to drop the letter out and read it and…"

"Ok Mrs. Forman what is it?" Hyde asked knowing that everything coming from Kitty's mouth was a lie.

"Well, I just think you need to read this." She said handing over the letter.

Hyde began to unfold the paper as Sam came behind him to read as well.

"It's from The Little Wedding Chapel in Vegas." Sam said noticing the envelope.

"Dear Mr. Hyde,

We regret to inform you that our business establishment; The Little Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas Nevada allowed our license to perform marriages laps. Your license of marriage received on May 18, 1979 is null and void. Again we send our regrets." Hyde read aloud.

"What? I don't understand?" Sam said after Hyde had finished reading.

"It means we're not married. We never were." Hyde answered. The reality of the situation over took him. He had let down the only girl he had ever really loved all because he believed he was married to Sam. He felt as though the past month had been a bad dream, and he was only now waking up.

"Well where does that leave us?" Sam asked looking to Hyde for the answer.

"Well, if we're not married then I guess you have no reason to stay her anymore." Hyde replied very matter-of-factly.

"Wow who died because you all look awful?" Kelso said as he entered through the sliding door. Everyone was looking at Hyde and Sam waiting for the next one to speak.

"Well, Kelso, Sam and I just found out that we're not really married."

"Awesome. So Hyde can I date Sam then because a stripper should really date someone a lot better looking then you, ya know?"

"Hyde if you don't care, I liked to date Kelso. All that talk about cop stuff really got me interested." Sam began to give Kelso goggle eyes waiting for Hyde to reply.

"Yeah I mean, that's cool with me. Sam it was nice to think I was married to you for a while."

"Same here Hyde." She gave him a hug and a peck on the cheek then left arm and arm with Kelso.

"Steven, are you ok? You now if you need to cry you can let it out." Kitty said as she wrapped him in a hug.

"Mrs. Forman I'm fine, really. I'm just going to get out of the house for a little while ok." With that Hyde had left. He got into the El Camino and began to drive. At first he wasn't sure where to go. He wanted somewhere quiet that he could think. At the next light he made a right and headed for the water tower.

To Hyde's surprise Donna was also at the water tower. Great he thought as he saw her. Ever since that day in the basement, the same day that Jackie had left, he and Donna were not on good terms. She was mad at him for not going after Jackie, and he was mad that she couldn't understand that he was trying to do the right thing. For a second he debated turning around, but decided to climb up anyway.

"Hey" he said as he sat beside Donna.

"What are doing here Hyde?" Donna asked as she sipped a beer.

"Well I just needed some air ya know."

"Why aren't you at the Forman's hanging out with your wife?" She asked very sarcastically.

"Well, because it turns out I never had a wife." He replied.

"What are talking about?" Donna was now intrigued.

"I got a letter in the mail today from the Chapel that we got married in. They said they didn't have a license to marry us and so out marriage was voided."

"Wow, are you ok with that?"

"Yeah, I mean I didn't even know her really. At first I acted like I wanted to stay married just to make Jackie jealous. And now that I know it was fake I don't really care."

"So if you only did that to make Jackie jealous, why did you stay with Sam all this time?"

"I don't know. I guess I thought it was the right thing to do. I mean the damage had been done so I thought the smart thing to do was to roll with it. Life's a bitch I guess."

"Yeah it can be." Donna said with sadness in her voice.

"Missing Forman?" Hyde asked.

"Yeah. I'm just mad that he left. And now with Jackie gone I have no one to talk to."

"Well we're talking. So still no word from Jackie?"

"None. And I'm really starting to worry. She should have called by now."

"Yeah me too. I really wish I could just take the last six weeks back you know."

"Aw, Hyde. You really love her don't you?"

"Don't tell anyone!" Hyde said with a murderous tone. Donna could only laugh. The two friends sat in silence for a time. Sipping their beer both lost in thought.

"So I guess I'm going to go back home." Donna said.

"I'll drive ya." Hyde said. He was glad that hey had made up. Donna was a good friend and he hated fighting with her. The ride home was silent but peaceful. Hyde pulled the Camino into the Forman's driveway. He got out and waved to Donna as she walked into her yard.

As Donna walked into her kitchen Bob was sitting at the table. When he saw her he jumped up and held out his hand.

"Jackie called and left a number where you could reach her." He said. Without even saying a word Donna grabbed the piece of paper and ran to her room. She franticly dialed the numbers and counted the rings. On the third ring Jackie picked up.

"Hello."

"Jackie?"

"Oh my god Donna." Jackie sounded very excited to hear from her friend.

"So where are you? How are you?" Donna couldn't get the words out fast enough.

"I'm fine and so is the baby. I've already got a doctor here and he says everything looks healthy."

"Oh Jackie that's great, but where are you?"

"Oh yeah. I'm in New York and Donna it's great!. I got a job in like the biggest mall I've ever seen and I got a little apartment too."

"Well you sound happy Jackie. I'm glad."

"Yeah, I'm excited you know to be on my own, but I really miss everyone. I wish I could see you more. Listen Donna you can't tell anyone where I am ok, I need you to promise."

"Ok but why?"

"I just don't want anyone to find me and try to get me to come back. "After a moment of silence Jackie slowly asked about Steven. "So how is Steven doing?"

"Oh yeah Jackie, you're not going to believe this but Hyde isn't…"

Before Donna could finish the door to her bedroom flew open and there stood Hyde. It was obvious by the look on his face that he had heard she was talking to Jackie.

"Jackie's on the phone?" He said.
