A/N: I'm sorry for your wait and confusion I'm a REALLY bad speller, and i hope you didn't have TOO much confusion reading this. When you go into their thoughts it's labeled in this chapter. I'm glad you are enjoying it and thank you SOO much for your reviews. Also for Hyde acting so mean,I imagine him acting mean after Jackie would leave I mean, he drove her away, but he'll get nicer I swear.
CHAPTER 2 Hub for your thoughts
They decided to take 2 cars, Michael Fez and Ben in one car and Hyde, Jackie, and Stevie in another. As they got in the car Jackie already knew that the drive would be awkward and frustration but she didn't say anything as she got in the shot gun.
"So...how are you?" Hyde asked finally.
Jackie nodded, "fine."
Hyde nodded. "Thats good."
They sat in silence forgetting about the 10 year old who sat in the back seat.
"Hey are we gonna turn the radio on?" she asked finally.
Jackie reached for it the same time as Hyde and they jumped back from the touch as if electicuted.
"Yeah, go ahead." Hyde said trying to look straight ahead trying not to concentrate on the little brunnete beside him.
She just shrugged and turned the music on, Stairway to Heaven was playing and Jackie inwardly groaned. Steven loves Led Zeppelin and as if on que Hyde started singing the words and was surprised when Steveie joined in.Stevie blushed and backed down right away. They were quiet the rest of the way, it was awkard and everyones thoughts were ocupied.
Hyde POV:
Man I wonder who jackie was knocked up by. Some looser probably and I'm surprised she doesnt make her like were pink ruffle dresses. Wow 10 yrs I haven't seen her she still looks exactly the same as I saw her the day she left. I wonder who she's dated. Glad to know she's not married if anything she should be married to me... wait what? To me? I'm not the marrying type well unless you're a stripper. But come on marying someone spontaneously and not in love with is totally different the someone you love, and its planned out. Jackie would never marry me anyway. Shes too high maintence and I'm well me. How'd I get into this thought anyway I'm way way over Jackie like I'd love her ha as if. Man I'm so unhappy without her why'd she have to have a kid its evidence she's totally over me. I porbably disurved that though, after the whole Sam thing. Oh well lifes not fair and I'll probably end up living in the Foremens basement forever, until I die from too much "film" intake.
Jackie POV:
Ms Hyde. Ms Steven Hyde. Jacqueline Beulah Hyde. Jackie Hyde. Hmmm... oh my god I'm loosing my freakin mind. Jackie HYDE? no no no I'm NEVER getting into another relationship with Mr Stripper Sam man. No no no! That ship has sailed in fact its sailed atleast 3 times. No I'm here for like a week and no more. We come no one finds out we leave. Simple done, thats it. No attachments, no one will find out Stevies father, I won't date Steven and everyone will live happily ever after. Well except me cause I'll be a spinster for ever. Stevie will have to take care of me or worse Donna. Not that I don't like Donna but she'd never put make-up on me and she'd probably brag about haveing a nice sweet dorky husband, while I don't. Man why did Steven have to be so stubborn, like is so... mean to me. Life is sooo unfair, why can't one thing in my life go right? I should I have never come back this will be the longest freakin week of my life! And why aren't we there yet?
Stevie POV:
Why's everyone so quiet? Even the songs are quiet today, maybe I did something? No I couldn't well mom has been acting strange since we got here. These people have known my mom for awhile maybe THEY know who my father is, then again I could just ASK her right? No she'd clam up right away, or something. Man I wish we were there this is totally weird, maybe I should try and strike up a conversation...hmmmm about what? Oh I got it.
Regular POV:
"Ummm Mr Hyde? Are we almost there?" Stevie asked quietly.
The car lurched suddenly andthey almost drove off the road. Everyone was quiet for awhile while they looked at each other.
"Don't do that!" Hyde shouted. Stevie recoiled back alarmed, why was he yelling at her? What'd SHE do. Nothing except ask a question.
"Don't yell at her Hyde for you're mistakes! And honey call him Hyde not Mr if you do well he'll have a heart attack like right now." Jackie said looking at her daughter in the back seat.
"Do you want me to drive?" Jackie asked trying to act like nothing happened out of the ordinary.
"No and I'm sorry for yelling you just...surprised me." Jackie snorted back laughter, which cause Hyde and Stevie to look at her.
"What?" Hyde asked.
"What in the world is so funny I as being sincere." Jackie rolled her eyes.
"Uh huh just drive." Hyde started the car and they were off going back to there trip to the Hub and the awkward silence.
The three-some walked into the crowded Hub. They looked around to see if Kelos and Fez where there and they were so they went over to the table.
"Hey." Jackie said sitting down.
"Hello Jackie, Hyde, and Stevie." Fez said icily.
"What's the matter Fez?" Jackie asked taking her coat off.
"Why'd you leave?" He whinned.
Jackie laughed. "Are we still on this?"
"Yeah mom why'd you leave here its awsome so...small." Stevie added as she looked around the old hang out.
Jackie winced how was she suppose to get out of this one. "I told you I had a job offer and I decided to take it." Stevie seemed to except it but not Fez.
"But why? You could have gotten a job HERE? then you wouldn't have a child." Jackie winced again and looked at Stevie who looked hurt.
"Yes I would have." Jackie muttered then said louder. "Fez I like my child if you don't mind and do not burn her when I am or she is around." Jackie said patting her daughters hand.
"Wow Jackie Burkhart a mother." Kelso muttered as he brang fries over. "So did it hurt Brooke said Ben hurt and I could hear her screaming from the next room over so..."
Jackie laughed. "Yes it hurt."
"Oh god don't go into the story mom, its so embarrassing!"
Jackie laughed again. "Yeah yeah."
"Story?" Hyde asked pulling a chair up and stealing a fry.
Jackie and Stevie rolled there eyes together. "Yeah I tell her birth every year on her birthday at 3:07 in the morning."
Stevie rolled her eyes but smiled neither the less. "Yep and I'm usually exassteed the rest of the day but its fun."
"When your birthday?" Fez asked. "Well its on January 1."
"Oh thats soooo cool the day after New Years!" Kelso said. "I bet you were like in the paper right? Am I right?"
Jackie nodded. "Yes because all babies are reported in the newspapers idiot."
"Ben wasn't"
"why not?" the little boy asked curously.
"Dunno wait I don't know I didn't check I was trying to control your mom." Jackie laughed.
"I remember that time."
"Me too and when you lost him." Fez added.
Hyde laughed, "where were we? I don't remember that."
Fez shrugged. "I think you and Jackie were at the car show, with Ms Kitty and Mr Red."
Hyde nodded. "I remember that."
"Me too. Mrs Foremen kept telling me to bring a book to read so when you were to go off and look at cars I'd have something to do." Jackie laughed at the meomory. "Then you came back and red was gone taking pictures with car hookers."
Hyde laughed too.
The looked at each other and smiled.
"You went to a car show mom?" Stevie asked disbelievingly.
"Yeah, I was dragged along against my will." Hyde laughed.
"Cause you made me go to all of those other stupid things like that dance, and cheerleading and–"
"you were in Cheerleading?" Stevie asked incredously.
Jackie laughed, and Kelso, Fez, and Hyde looked at the little girl in disbelife.
"You never told her you were on Cheerleading? You came over to the basement everyday and bragged about what you did in cheerleading that day." Hyde said mouth open.
Jackie shrugged. "It never really came up you know, like you guys." Fez rolled his eyes.
"I still don't believe that you didn't say ANYTHING about us I mean we are friends remember all of those long talks we use to have about Hyde and Kelso sometimes Eric oh with Donna too! How could you forget?"
Jackie looked down truth was she just didn't want her daughter to think she was so shallow and stupid, well that was one thing anoter was she didn't want to bring up "the father questions" as she liked to call them.
Stevie only asked about her dad once and that's when they started the don't-ever-ask-me-about-that-dumbass- rule. When Stevie was five she was walking around the house trying to find something to do and went into the storage room digging out the old photos of her and Hyde. She asked if that was her father and it was all over. Stevie was yelled at for going through mommies stuff and they had a talk about that, Jackie really just ignored the question about Hyde, and Stevie seemed to get the message.
Jackie shook her head trying to get away from the meomory. "I'm sorry Fez but now Stevie has met you and its all good." Jackie tried to move the conversation away from her and her daughter.
"So Fez how's the Business treating you? Fez nodded and took a sip from his coke.
"Great! Laurie loves it too! She's pregnant did you know that? Yeah so I'm trying to work EXTRA EXTRA hard you know?"
Jackie laughed. "Are they yours?"
"After you left Laurie came back and well we discussed it and we are an actual married couple its great! We'll till I found her hitting on Kelso in the basement. But the pregnancy is mine I'm so excited!" Fez clapped his hands and Jackie laughed.
"Whos Laurie?" Stevie asked.
" Eric's slutty sister." Hyde answered taking a fry from Kelso's bowl.
"Hey thats mine Hyde get your own fries."
"So Kelso how's brooke?" Jackie asked.
"Good she's good, and married to some guy, what's his nameBen?"
"Rich. I don't like him he's weird."
"all kids think that about their parents boyfriends or girlfriends." Jackie answered. "Like when I tried dating this guy from work Stevie hated him and..."
"MOM!" Stevie said annoyed. "Stop they don't need to know that!"
Jackie laughed, and Fez leaned closer. "Jackie tell us what your little devil of a daughter did?"
Stevie rolled her eyes. "I am not a little devil."
"Your mother was." Hyde muttered earning a glare from Jackie.
"I didn't do anything." Stevie whinned.
"Stevie Hun, you trashed his car!" Jackie said smirking at the meomory. Stevie looked down blushing.
"WEll he annoyed me! He always tried to act like he was my father and it was ANNOYING!"
It got silent after Stevie said that, the father thing was brought up AGAIN, it was really starting to get annoying, since JAckie really didn't want to talk about"the father issue" Jackie sighed and took another fry from Kelso.
"So this is the Hub we should probably get back before Donnafreaks out or something, also we have to unpack."
THe 6people got up and headed towards thecar, silently contemplatingthe conversation. Fez thinking about LAurie, Kelso about well nothing, Ben about Stevie. Hyde about what Stevie had said about her father, Jackietrying to figure out what Hyde was thinking and Stevie wondering about her MIA father AGAIN. Man this was going to be a long holiday season.
So? How was chapter 2? as good as the first? I'm sry again about the spelling errors, I'll try and update as soon as possible.
