Chapter 6 Christmas Eve.

All week the only thing Stevie thought about was that Steven Hyde could be her father. She wanted to ask her mother many times but always lost the nerve to.

Tonight was Christmas Eve and Donna was having a huge party for it. Then tomorrow they'd get up early and open presents, then they'd have a huge dinner that night again, or maybe just leftover.

Stevie sighed as she sat in the basement looking through old pictures. She had decided to do a little research on her mother and Hyde's relationship. It wasn't going so well, she was too afraid to ask anyone, and the pictures weren't very helpful. She had found a fair amount of pictures with her mother and Hyde, also one with a blonde women, buried in a deep pile.

She must have been the stripper, Stevie had decided. She looked up as she heard foot steps, everyone was making food who could be coming down here.

She hurridly shoved the pictures under the couch and jumped on them clicking the tv on.

"Stevie?" Donna asked coming downstairs.

Stevie looked up, "Hi Donna how's the cooking?"

"Good, but we need to move your stuff down here so could you come help us?" Stevie nodded and went upstairs to get her stuff from the living room.

She hurriedly moved her stuff and went back downstairs. She waited a few minutes before she looked under to couch to look for the pictures. Then went back to what she was doing, she founda couple school formals, some withher mother withKelso others with Hyde.

Stevie sighed and leaned back against the couch. Her little search was not going so well she needed to think bigger. She needed to do a little snooping around, well ok ALOT. She looked behind the couch to where sheknewHyde's room was. She quietly and quickly walked over there and silently opened the door. It was a small room with a small cot in it, posters were around the wall, it was dirty and smelled kinda funny. She walked around trying to figure out were to start. She decided under the bed since that was where she put all of her valuable stuff. She got down on her hands and knees to search under the bed. She came up with a huge brown bag, a t-shirt, some pants, a unicorn, an old abba album, a frame,2 pictures, and sevral written peices of paper with words scratched out.

First Stevie looked at the brown bag, it had sevral brown bags in it, finally she got to the last one and gasped. "Marijuana." she whispered excited, she had never seen realmarijuana before, it had a powerful feeling on her and she was excited. Then she remember what her mother said...and teachers, drugs were bad. "No wonder mom didn't want me to know Hyde was my dad." she muttered, then looked at the picture. It was one of her mother, a school picture. Stevie smiled her mom looked so pretty. Then she looked at another picture, it was one of Hyde and her mom at a formal dance, they looked so happy. Stevie sighed, then heard footsteps coming down the stairs. She freaked, shoved everything back under the bed and ran on to the couch.

"hey Stevie, what are you up to?" Hyde asked coming down the steps.

Stevie shrugged starring strait at the tv. "um nothing, why would you ask that?"

"cause you've been down here all day. Are you looking for something?"

Stevie stiffened. "n-no o-of course not, what could I be looking for?"

"I dunno, presents, or through my room? I heard running down here."

Stevie's eyes went big. "I didn't do anything!"

"chill out...man what is with everyone being on edge today." Hyde shrugged and went over to the freezer to get a beer. "first Donna, then Jackie, then Eric, then you. It's only a dinner. So what ARE you doing down here?"

"umm I wanted to keep out of everyone's way."

Hyde nodded and took a sip of his beer. "yeah? I think I'll join you."

There was silence in the basement, till Hyde noticed something on the floor.

"Stevie?"

"yes?"

"why were you looking at old pictures."

Stevie looked down by her high tops, one of the formal pictures was face up on the ground.

"because...I wanted to see what you guys were like when you were younger." She nodded intensely. "yeah."

Hyde shrugged and accepted the answer. Stevie sat fidgetting on the couch, finally she heard her mom's voice.

"Stevie, hunny, come up here to get changed." Stevie stood up gratefully and practically ran up the steps.

As Jackie and Stevie changed inEric and Donna'sroom Stevie debated toask her mother about Hyde.

"mom?"

"yes?"

"I have a serious question to ask you."

"ok?"

"well..um mom does this make me look fat?"

Jackie laughed. "no you look adorable. Is that the serious question you wanted to ask?"

Stevie looked down at her bare feet. No, she thought.

Jackie looked at her sensing something was wrong. "Stevie, you know you can ask me anything, I'll tell you the truth, you don't have to worry."

Stevie nodded countinuing to look at her socks. "I know."

"here, how about we have a long chat about whatis bothering you after the party?"

Stevie nodded and sadly walked out of the bedroom, thinking about the best way to ask her question. Then she walked back into the bedroom to get her shoes. Jackie smiled sadly at her daughter, she had a good idea what wasbothering her, and she wasn't sure how she was going to handle the situation.

Stevie walked around the party like a drone, she hated grown-up parties they were all about talking and drinking. Two things Stevie wasn't really in the mood to do. She sighed and sat on the couch next to Ben.

"hey." She said sipping her drink.

He nodded at her and smiled. "hello."

They sat in silence, Steviecontemplating wether to ask his advice or not, hisparents were kinda the same as hers.

"Ben?"

"yeah?"

"um does it bother you that you're parents weren't married when they had you?"

"not really I like my living situation, here on Christmas every other year and every other weekend andChicago during the week and on Thanksgiving."

Stevie nodded, thinking again about going to find her mom.

"why?Where's your father?"

Stevie shrugged not wanting to get into this. "I don't know."

"so we kinda have the same thing going."

"yeah I guess we do."

"you know, It's really importent to have your father, I mean I love coming here to hang out with mine. Sure he's not smart but he's my dad, everyone deserves to knowtheir own fathers, and if you're mother won't tell you then well, ask I guess."

They were in silence for another couple of mintues. Suddenly Stevie felt really angry at her mother. She was suppose to tell her everything about her past, and stuff, she was the daughter who needed to know her parents. Her mother had taken thataway from her. She wanted to know her father, even if he smoked pot, something Ben and her momhad said had finally hit acord. Her mom said that she could ask heranything, but her father was a taboo subject.How dare she keep this huge secret from her, she had a right to know who her father was.

"wanna make-out?" Ben asked all of a sudden.

Stevieshook her head and stood up,she was going to go find her mother and talk to her about this.

She wentinto the kitchen where she found her mom and Mrs Foremen talking.

"mom! How dare you!" Stevie said her voice shaking.

Jackie looked bewildered by her sudden outburst. "what? what did I do now?"

"you n-never told me!" Stevie screamed, not notcing that Eric was coming into the kitchen and that the whole other room could here her.

"never told you what?" Jackie yelled back.

"who my father was!" Stevie sobbed out, she never noticed the tears either, all she noticed was the fact that her mom had never told her who her father was and it was all building up.

"Stevie can't we talk about this later?" Jackie asked looking nervously around theroom.

"no I want to talk about this NOW! Ihave every right to know this."Stevie said sobbing really hard. She didn't notice that everyone was now looking at her and Jackie.

"fine Stephanie I'll tell you since you are having a total brake down over it!" Jackie shouted. "My god, I was going to tell youafter the party anyway! You just had to go all upset about it. I'msorryI haven't told you, till now because younever asked!" Jackie shouted her own tears coming now. "If you did ask then i wasn't ready to tell you because I wanted to forget him and what he didto me! I didn't want youto get hurt, if he didn't care or whatever. But since you are sostubborn just like Steven I'll tell you it's S----"

Jackie stopped as she noticed that Steven Hyde was standing right by the top of the stairs and had just heard her whole rant. She looked at him and he looked back at her with his Zen face on, which meant that she was in deep crap. She had just confessed that Stevie was Steven's daughter right infront of him. This was SO not how she imagined this evening or this moment to go.

Jackie heardly wipped away her tears and looked around her, Stevie looked at her with tears running down her face. Mrs Foremen looked at the whole mess with her mouth slightly open. Eric and Donnawere starring at Hyde and Jackie. Kelso was quiet for once, and Fez was taking pieces of cake for himself.

Jackie looked down at the ground, she couldn't stay here she had to get out, just for a little while, everyone was starring at her as if this whole mess was her falt. Which it totally wasn't.

She looked behind her and ran for the glass door,stumbling out into the nice cold winter air, running as fast as she could in her long skirt and boots. She wanted to run and run and run, to ecsape all of her problems, but they kept coming back to get her, like the last time she was here when she was pregnant with Stevie.

I know it was kinda short. I hope you enjoyed it and thankx again for the reviews.
