A/N Thank you all for your great and inspiring reviews! In this chapter, Hyde's plan will be revealed, but not carried out.
Disclaimer I don't not own any of the characters or anything from That '70s Show except Season 1, 2, & 3 DVD.
Kitty Foreman's POV
"So, W.B., what brings you down to this part of town?" Kitty said ending with her trademark laugh.
"Kitty, I know that it makes you nervous when I am in your house. Its quite alright. No need to make small talk," W.B. said taking another sip of his ice tea.
"What are you talking about? Ha, ha, ha. We love when you stop by," Kitty said looking around the room for something that might give her a good excuse to get up. Just then she saw Steven begin to sit down next to the sliding door. He looked as if he was contemplating something. "My poor baby. He looks like he needs time to figure this out," Kitty thought. Then she looked back over at W.B, "Oh well."
"Excuse me a minute. Steven seems to need some help. So if you don't mind…"
"Actually, do you think I could speak to him? I think I know what this is about. I am on a role with the father-son pep talks," W.B. said referring to the talk that he and Hyde had about Jackie earlier.
"Alright with me. Ha, ha, ha. How cute! Let me get the camera!" Kitty said already starting to scurry off.
"Kitty, I don't think that will be necessary. We are just going to…."
"No. There will be photos. It ismy right as a mother goddamn it! I already have one son gallivanting off in Africa. I will have my photos!" Kitty yelled. Then she laughed nervously and fanned her self as she went up stairs in search of the camera. "Now that was a bad place. I wonder where Schotzie is?" Kitty thought.
Outside in the driveway 3rd person
"Steven," W.B. said after a few minutes when Hyde still hadn't realized his presence.
"Hey. How long have you been there?" Hyde said never keeping he's eyes off of Donna's window, which he imagined Jackie was in, even if he couldn't see her.
"How'd it go with Jackie?" W.B. said taking a seat next to him.
"Relatively good. We're not back together or anything. But I don't have any bruises so it could be worse. She and I are going to hang out tonight. I think I'm going to propose," Hyde said smirking.
"WHAT! Steven, your wife just left you this morning! Don't you think this is a littlie bit, you know, soon?" W.B. said flabbergasted.
"W.B., nothing has ever felt more right to me my whole life. And Sam, it doesn't matter if she left this morning, last week, last month, or last year. I didn't love Sam. I love Jackie," Hyde said spilling his heart out to his father.
" Ok. If this is important to you, then it is important to me and I support you 100. Here," W.B. said in a very fatherly tone and took out his checkbook and ripped out a blank one. After filling it out he handed it over to Hyde.
"10 thousand dollars! W.B. what do I need this for. I have money. This is way too much," Hyde said trying to give the check back.
"No, no, no. You're going to need it. A girl like Jackie needs an extravagant ring. But all that money is not for the ring. The rest if for the proposal. I assume you have it all planned out."
"Um. No. Not yet. But I have an idea. Can we talk later? I need to drive down to Kenosha and get back before 6:30," Hyde said getting up.
" Of course. And Steven,"
"Yeah?"
"Good luck."
"Thanks Dad," Hyde said smiling. Dad. He likes the sound of that.
A/N You know the deal. If you review, I'll write.
