Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I will put the next chapter up sooner.

Donna knew she had been caught but she still tried to get out of it.

"No…no this is…uh…this is my mom in California."

"Donna, I heard you talking to Jackie, now let me talk to her." Hyde began to move toward the phone. Donna did the only thing she could think, she held the phone up high above her head. Still Hyde was determined; he finally wrestled the phone from Donna's hands.

"Jackie?"

"Steven?"

"Jackie where are you? We need to talk."

"Steven… I have to go." With that Jackie hung up the phone. The next thing Hyde heard was the sound of a busy signal. He slammed the phone back onto its receiver.

"Donna where is she?" Hyde asked with a pleading sound in his voice.

"Hyde what are you doing here?" Donna tried to sound surprised.

"I was going to ask if you wanted to go to the Hub and get something to eat, and I know you're trying to change the subject. Just answer my question!"

"Hyde I can't tell you where she, is I promised."

"What? Did you tell her that Sam and I aren't married?"

"Well I tried to but I couldn't get it out because you came storming in."

"Donna I have to know where she is."

"Why Hyde? How can you keep disappointing her and then expect everything to be ok? You never talk to Jackie about anything. Instead of bitching about her giving you an ultimatum, you should have just gone to her and talked about it. Then she would have never left in the first place and none of this would have ever happened!" She shouted. She had been wanting to say those things to him, but always felt like she should stay out of it. But now she was so mad she didn't car is it was right thing to do or not.

"You're right." He said calmly. "Are you going to tell me where she is?"

"No."

"Then I don't have anything to say to you Donna." Hyde turned around and headed back to the basement.

Hyde and Donna spent another month avoiding each other. Hyde went to work, came home, and then shut himself up in his room when he got there. No one had seen much of him since that day in Donna's room.

Kelso and Fez still came to the basement every night although Hyde didn't come out of his room to talk to them (not even to share his stash). He would hear them turn on the TV and watch all their favorite shows. He could even hear them talking about the silly things only Kelso and Fez could talk about. Through his ease dropping, Hyde had learned that Sam went back to Vegas after her date with Kelso. He also learned how to make a suite out of rockets and the best candy combinations to eat together.

Donna still came around the Forman's house, she still talked to Kitty about Eric in Africa and she still came to the basement to say hello to Fez and Kelso. Hyde felt bad that he was being a jerk to Donna, but she had pissed him off royally. How could she have not told him where Jackie was when she knew that he wanted to find her and bring her back to Point Place? He couldn't understand how Donna could be like this? Didn't she want Jackie to come back? Didn't she want them to be together? She had acted like she did, saying that he should have just talked to Jackie and she wouldn't have left. So why not tell him where Jackie was? He had spent weeks trying to figure it out. However he couldn't come up with a good answer. Was Jackie's life so great wherever she was that Donna didn't think she needed to come home? He finally convinced himself that that was the answer. Jackie must be having a great life. She must not be missing him anymore.

One night when Hyde had gotten home from work, he went into his bedroom and turned on the radio like usual. He was lying on his bed thinking about Jackie when he heard the basement door open. It couldn't have been Fez or Kelso; they were already there watching Charlie's Angles. Who could it be, he wondered? Hearing Donna's voice only made him more upset. He placed his pillow over his head and turned the radio up.

"How's Hyde been guys?" Donna asked.

"Not good, he's been listening to Ain't No Sunshine When She Gone for like a month now!" Kelso said.

"Yes, I have heard it so many times I have begun to hum it in my sleep. I am so sick of that song!" Fez chimed in.

"Well, I'm going to see if he'll talk to me. I need to tell him something." Donna walked over to Hyde's door and knocked.

"Hyde, it's me. I need to talk to you."

No Answer.

"Hyde." She said a little louder.

Still no answer.

Then Donna got an idea. She placed her hand on the knob and turned. The door opened and Donna had to smile at herself. Hyde immediately threw the pillow from his face and sat up to see Donna before him.

"I thought you would have realized I didn't want to talk to you when I didn't answer the door."

"Listen, I know you've been mad at me, and I understand why. I feel really bad for not telling you where Jackie is. I got this in the mail today and I think you should read it." Donna held her hand out, revealing a letter.

Hyde took the letter from Donna's hand and began to open it. As he did something fell out. Hyde picked it up to find a picture of an ultrasound. He could only stare for a few seconds. His mind was racing. Did this mean that Jackie was pregnant? Finally he was able to move again. He unfolded the paper and began to read it.

Hey Donna,

I though that you would want to see the baby. I'm two and a half months along and we're both healthy. But I got to tell you, being pregnant is not that great. I didn't know a person could puke as much as I have. I guess that's what I get for having to carry Steven Hyde's baby for nine months. Only seven more to go. Yay! Not! The doctor thinks the nausea will go away soon though. I still love my job and my apartment, but it's getting harder to live on my own. I didn't realize how hard it would be. It really makes me miss you. Anyway like I was saying, it's really hard to make it on my own. And that made me realize that I have to support a baby too, and Donna I can't do it. So hears the news…my doctor introduced me to this really great couple. They can't have children and they want to adopt mine. I struggled with what to do for a while, but I think it's for the best. Their names are Mark and MaryAnne Robertson and their so great. And he has a great job so I know he can give the baby everything I can't. So I signed the papers. Their supporting me through the pregnancy, which is great because I can't pay for the doctor alone. So in early January the baby will be theirs. Don't be mad at me Donna; I'm doing what I have to.

PS: I'lI call you soon

Love Jackie

Hyde couldn't believe what he was reading. His heart began to break and he couldn't think straight. His picked up the picture of the baby again. It was so tiny. It didn't even look like a baby yet. All he could think was that this was his, and he was dambed if he was going to let some strangers raise his baby. His put the letter and the picture back in its envelope. He got up, threw some clothes in a bag, and grabbed his keys.

"What are you going to do?" Donna asked after him.

"I'm going to go get Jackie and bring her home." He didn't even turn around to look at her. He opened the door and slammed it on his way out.

More to come soon!
