A/N: well I have decided, I am going to make a sequal if anyone is interested. If you want a sequal then please review, cause I won't write it if no one is going to read it. I'm SO glad everyone is enjoying this I mean, this story got kinda depressing and you guys stuck through to the very or well 11th end. And i'm glad, so thank you VERY much for reading and reviewing it is encouraged all the way. So anyway this chapter is kinda sappy, and family happy, I figured you all deserved a break from the drama and depression. Enjoy chapter 11 12 will be up soon.
Chapter 11 Christmas
Jackie woke up early the next morning not being able to sleep. She and Stevie had to sleep downstairs on cots since the living room was a total mess. She vowed to get an apartment soon, to many memories in this basement for one, two Steven slept right across the hall, and three the cots were incredibly uncomfortable. She looked over at Stevie and saw she was deep in sleep, she quietly got up to go upstairs, but she got a sudden thought. She silently opened Stevens door and found it empty as she was turning around she came face to face with him.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" she asked quietly.
" Why aren't YOU Jackie?" Hyde asked smirking.
Jackierolled her eyes.
"Cause It's Christmas and you open presents!" Jackie said crossing her arms, and smiling at the thought of presents.
"She up yet?" He asked quietly changeing the subject before they got loud.
Jackie glanced at Stevie.
"No, wish she'd hurry up I want to go open presents." Hyde smirked at her. He never could grasp her desire for presents, they were just things to him nothing he could ever use...most of the time.
"You want to go open presents now?" he asked questioningly
"Yes, man Steven you never got the whole presents thing just look at my..." Jackie stopped mid-sentence going over to Stevie to wake her up, not wanting to talk to Hyde anymore.
He grabbed her arm before she shook her daughter.
"Doesn't she looks peaceful sleeping?" he said in a quiet voice.
Jackie rolled her eyes, "Fine I won't wake her up." they waited in silence, waiting for Stevie to get up.
"Shouldn't we go upstairs?" Jackie asked after a moment.
"Yeah probably." they headed upstairs, together.
As they left Stevie's eyes flickered open, smiling. She decided to go follow her parents, plus there were presents to be opened.
As everyone gathered in the living room, to open presents Stevie looked over to her parents, they were sitting next to each other but not talking. Stevie shook her head when were they going to realize their feelings for each other?
"Is everyone up and down here?" Kitty asked the filled living room, everyone was situating themselves into comfortable positions so they could open presents better.
"Yes, Kitty now lets get a move on we don't have all day." Red said.
"Ok, Stevie would you like to be the present passer outer?"
Stevie shrugged then nodded. "Sure." she said.
"Ok lets get started."
Stevie got up and got the closest one to her, she read the name then headed over to Red.
"Here."
"Thank you." Red awkwardly patted her head, and Stevie gave him a weird look. She hadn't known Mr. or Mrs. Foremen that long but Red did not seem the type to pat you on the head. It most have been that talk him and her dad had. She smiled weakly and went back over the tree.
"Donna, Eric, Kitty, Mom, Ben, Laurie, Fez, Mom again."
The list went on and on till she got to her father. What was she suppose to call him? Dad he'd been her dad for like a day.
"Hyde." she said finally handing him the present, it was the one mom and her had gotten him.
"Wow." he said checking the t-shirts and cds.
"Are these-" he was cut off by Jackie
"Yep." Jackie said smiling at him; they were getting to her presents. She couldn't see their reactions.
Hyde looked at her. "Wow, I'm not sure what to say?"
Stevie smiled.
"Well I hope you got me a good gift...because I'll be pissed for spending all that money if you only got me a crappy stove or something." Jackie said crossing her arms.
"Or thanks would be good too." Stevie said speaking up.
"Donna and Eric." Stevie said handing them her and her mothers present.
"Awesome! Star Wars on tape...and baby stuff." Eric said ignoring the "baby stuff" and checking the Star Wars stuff out. Donna looked at Jackie.
"Thank you Jackie and Stevie we love it."
Then Kitty and Red came.
Ben and Kelso, and Fez and Laurie.
There were 2 presents left one for Stevie and the other for Jackie. It was quiet as Jackie opened her gift, she gasped as she looked at it.
"Wow. Steven thank you it's...beautiful." she smiled and hugged him.
Then Stevie opened hers.
"Brilliant!" she cried as she saw some new cds and movies. "Can I go watch them?" She asked, because she saw Breakfast club in there.
"Sure if you want." Jackie shrugged.
"I want to watch them too." Ben said calling after her.
After that they all sort of parted to play with there presents or talk or whatever.
"That was cool." Hyde said as she was the only ones in the living room as everyone was gone.
Jackie nodded, "Yeah I really like the bracelet too it was really sweet of you."
She leaned over to kiss him on the cheek but he moved his head too fast and ended kissing his mouth instead.
She ended it FAST.
"What the hell are you doing?" She asked standing up.
"What are you talking about you leaned over to kiss me." he looked back at her.
"Not on the MOUTH!" Jackie yelled.
"Whatever...wait you know what, I liked it, and I don't see why we are fighting this attraction thing." Hyde shook his head.
"BECAUSE!" Jackie yelled. "Because...?" "Because it won't work. We tried that, it didn't work, doesn't matter that we both have feelings for each other." with that Jackie stormed off to the kitchen.
As they were getting ready for bed that night, Stevie looked over at her mother, they were back upstairs.
"Mom?" Stevie asked.
"Yeah?" came Jackie's some what tired voice.
"Have you...Have you ever you know?" Stevie was thinking of a way to ask her mom about her and her dad.
"What?"
"I mean have you...ever thought about getting back with my dad?" Jackie snapped her head up, sighing.
"You heard that fight didn't you?" Jackie said sighing again.
"What fight?" Stevie asked a little surprised.
"Whatever, anyway Stevie me and Steven have a lot of history, I mean I love him but I don't think he loves me back one, and two it's just not the time. Oh and I still can't get over that whole I married a stripper thing." Jackie said a little bitterly.
"But-" she was cut off by her mother.
"No, buts Stevie, it won't work and I don't want to put you throw our relationship god I don't want to go through our relationship, it's like a freaking rollar coaster." Jackie shook her head, and looked at Stevie. "I'm sorry hunny but it's just not going to happen, now go to sleep." Stevie nodded giving up, she lied down and fell into a dreamless sleep.
