Chapter 8Drop Off Thoughts

"Halloween, I love Halloween!" Stevie shouted coming down the stairs to see her mom and dad.

Ever since their last date, Hyde had been over at the house a lot, he stayed over there so much it was as if he lived with them, even more then when Tom and her mom had dated, this time however, Hyde did it for pleasure and not just to make Tom jealous.

"Are you excited for tonight?" Jackie asked, Stevie as she watched her daughter eat a fast breakfast.

"Yes, I am really excited, so it's ok if I go tricker-treating with Sam, Mary, Christian, and Sean?" Stevie asked.

"Yes, for the millionth time, hun, Steven and I will be at Donna and Eric's, if you need us."

Stevie nodded and put her witch hat on.

"So what are you, Stevie?" Hyde asked looking at the 11 year old.

"I'm a witch." she said smiling, then glanced at her watch. "I gotta go, so you'll be here when I get home? Talking? Right?" Stevie asked hesitating at talking.

"Yeah, hun, then I'll drive you over to your little friends house, then we are going to go to Donna's, got it? Good." Jackie kissed her daughter on the cheek and got up to say bye.

Stevie quickly hugged Hyde and she was out the door. This was going to be the best Halloween ever, how she just loved this holiday.

As Stevie left, Jackie glanced at Hyde.

"So, ready for tonight?" she asked excitedly.

He rolled his eyes, "Yes Jackie, for the millionth time, besides, what are we doing that is so fun? We are watching Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and When Strangers Call, not the fun night we've been waiting our lives to go to."

"Shut up, Steven! Halloween is a great holiday, besides we never hang out with everyone, that much anymore, so we are hanging out with them tonight!" Jackie chirped then headed into her bedroom to go shower.

"Since when do you like Halloween? Wasn't you're favorite holiday, Christmas for all of the presents?" Hyde yelled at her retreating back.

Jackie shook her head, then realized Hyde couldn't see her. "No, Steven, my favorite holiday is Veterans day!"

With that she stepped into the shower, not seeing the smirk on her boyfriend's face.

Stevie ran into the house and headed towards her room to get her costume together. "Mom! Mom! Are you home? Can we go?" Stevie yelled shoving her costume and tricker-treating bag in a grocery bag.

"Yeah, hun, be right there." Jackie said coming into her daughter's room looking a little pale.

"Are you ok, mom?" Stevie asked glancing at the women.

"Yeah, Stevie I'm fine." she smiled a meek smile. Stevie looked disbelieving, but didn't push the subject.

"So, you ready?" "Yeah, where's dad?"

"Oh, Steven, is running a little late, so I'm dropping you off, then going to the record store." Stevie looked at her mom again.

What had happened in the span of a day, from her mom being all bubbly to sulking.

"Ok, lets go." Stevie got up and headed towards the door as Jackie got her coat and some candy, she was suppose to bring for the movie night.

"Ok get in the car, I'll be there in a minute." Jackie said to her daughter as she went back into her bedroom, "I forgot something."

Stevie went to the car, wondering why her mother was acting so weird.

A few minutes later Jackie came into the car too, looking paler then before.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Stevie asked Jackie again, all Jackie did was nod.

"Yes for the hundredth time, Stevie, I'm FINE!" Jackie drove over to Sam's house and went up to the doorway.

"Ok I'll come pick you up at 10, since it's Friday."

Stevie nodded, then smiled. "Ok! I can't wait, see you later."

Jackie hugged and kissed Stevie, then knocked on the door.

After a little while Sam came to the door.

"Hey." he said to Stevie, who smiled back, shyly.

Jackie looked back and forth between the two, smirking to herself. They were in for a ruff time, Jackie thought to herself looking between the two again, then silently added, good thing Steven didn't come with me.

"So I hope you two have fun, and Happy Halloween." Jackie hugged Stevie again and watched as she went into the house.

"Have fun." she said again then went down to the car, glancing up again at the house, it was huge, much like her old house. She missed being rich and wished that she had done something different in life to still be rich, but that thought was quickly banished.

She liked her life and she liked her family, everything had really come together in the last year. But, right now she wished that she had a little more money...for the next little problem that seemed to get in the way.

When everything was great, a little problem always got in the way, it was really depressing her. Jackie sighed, getting in the car, her life was fine and she was going to get through everything a-ok.

Starting the car and heading towards the Foremen's, she quietly made a decision about something. This night was going to change her life forever, if she wanted it to or not.

(A/N: I Know, I know, nothing of value actually happened in this chapter but the next chapter something BIG will happen. I hope you enjoyed and please review.)
