I own nothing.

An Unexpected pair
Chapter five, five

Everyone sat in Bob's living room talking. Red and Kitty sat on the couch With Bob. Fez, Donna, Kelso, Brook, and Jackie sat in chairs; in random spots threw out the room. Jackie still has her job in Chicago, and is living in a small one-bedroom apartment; but she got the weekend off to come visit everyone. Kelso came back to Point Place, the day after Hyde came for Jackie. Brook came back with him, so Fez gave them the apartment and then found a cheap one-room studio apartment, in the same building.

"Hey I'm going to call Eric," Donna said leaving the room.

"I wonder ware Hyde is?" Kelso asked as he held Betsy in his arms.

He felt bad about what happened, and wanted to talk to him; hoping they were still friends. After Hyde left, he spent sometime with Brook, and they talked about what happened. She told him that she had lost her best friend, due to a guy they both liked; her friend was with the guy now, and they no longer spoke. Kelso didn't want that to happen to him and Hyde.

"Yeah I miss Hyde, and I miss Eric." Fez said. As he said this, they heard a scream from the kitchen. Getting up they all ran in that direction. When they got there, they found Donna standing outside the door, in a state of shock.
"What wrong honey?" Bob asked walking over to his daughter.

"Come into the kitchen with me," Donna said.

When they walked in, they found Hyde and Midge standing in front of the door leading outside. They had their arms around each other, and were in the middle of a heavy make out session. Everyone was in the same state of shock as Donna had been before. Jackie was taking the site of Hyde and Midge even worse. She felt tears sting her eyes, and a hurt feeling flow threw her body. But still she was the first to speak.

"Steven what is you doing?"

At that Midge and Hyde broke apart, and saw everyone standing in the kitchen. Their first reaction was to run out the door, and never look back. But they stood there, searching for something to say, and a way to explain what everyone saw. But hey, Hyde couldn't even explain how he ended up with Midge.

"Mom what are you doing?" Donna asked.

"Midge I thought we agreed, that it would be best for you to go back to California," Bob said. "Weren't things working out with Chris?"

"No, they weren't. He's an abusive basted; and I left him." Midge said as she linked her arm threw Hyde's.

"How did you end up with Hyde?" Kelso asked.

"Well Kelso, after I found you and Jackie in bad together. I drove all the way to California, spent the night in a motel six. The next morning started home, when I got to Las Vegas, I found her in the flatbed of my El Camino."

Everyone looked at Hyde, as if he had an extra head. The room filled with silence, as they took in what was just said. Midge was the first to break the silence.

"Oh I was in the process of leaving Chris. My friend Sharon was helping me out. We were in the parking lot of the motel six, 'when we saw Chris coming. So I hid in the flatbed of a near by El Camino, not realizing it was Steven's; until we got to Las Vegas."

"You spent for Hours in the flatbed of an El Camino?" Donna asked.

"Yes, but I mostly slept," Midge said.

"What did you two do when you got to Vegas?" Fez asked.

"Well we spent the night in a hotel, gambled, got drunk." Hyde moved closer to Midge and put his arm around her, pulling her closer to him. "Oh Midge and I got married," Hyde added.

"What?" Everyone except Hyde and Midge screamed.

"Yes, and I'm moving back to Wisconsin." Midge said as she wrapped her arms around Hyde's waist.

Bob, Kitty, and Red sat at the table; because if they didn't, they'd pass out. Brook not knowing Midge and Hyde that well, said congratulations; and left the room to feed Betsy.

"Mr. And Mrs. Forman, we won't be living in your basement forever. Midge and I will start looking for an apartment soon." Hyde assured them.

"Oh you don't have to move out, you can stay as long as you want," Kitty said happily.

"Do you have a job?" Red asked.

"Red I'm part owner of a record store, I think that counts as more then a job," Hyde stated.

"Well it's getting late. We should be going." Kitty said as she and Red left the house.

The only people left in the room were Bob, Donna, and Jackie. Fez had gone home in the middle of the conversation, and Kelso went into the other room, to help brook with Betsy. The room was silent for sometime until Jackie spoke up.

"So I guess this means we're not getting back together."

"Well Jackie's you cheated on me with Kelso, and ruined what we had. I came to Chicago to give you my answer, and found you in bed with Kelso." Hyde stated.

"Oh Steven, what was your answer?" Jackie asked.

":I really don't think that's important anymore, because it won't do any good. What we had was special, and I will cherish every moment, of our relationship. But when I was driving, I did some thinking; basically I did what you did the summer you had to choose between me and Kelso."

"You worked on your tan?" Donna questioned.

"Steven's you cheated on me with that nurse," Jackie pointed out.

"Well that's because I thought you were cheating on me with Kelso." Hyde thought for a minute, "so why did you cheat on me with Kelso in Chicago?"

Jackie looked hesitant for sometime, and didn't know what to say. Finding it hard to find a good lie to tell, she stuck to the truth. "I was lonely and needed a friend, Michael was there for me. I guess I took advantage of him, and his kindness." Jackie walked to the door, "well it's getting late I have to drive back to Chicago." Then she was gone.
"She still has her Job?" Hyde asked.

"Yes she does," Donna answered. "Now are you two going to get this unholy union annulled?"

"No," Midge and Hyde said in unison.

"Hey Donna, I just realized that makes Hyde your stepfather," Bob said leaving the kitchen.

Donna now had tears forming in her eyes, as she sat at the table. Looking at her mother and her stepfather, who, once was her best friend; she said. "This is the worst news I've ever heard, and I'm very unhappy about it. But as soon as I recover, and am able to accept it; I'll be happy about it."

"That's fine with me," Midge said.

"But," Donna said looking at Hyde. "I'm not calling you daddy."

"Whatever," Hyde said.

"Now I've got to go call Eric and tell him the news, he'll freak out." Donna said leaving the kitchen.

After that Midge and Hyde left the house and went back to the basement. When they entered the basement, they saw someone sitting on the couch, a man. Midge and Hyde stood there frozen in fear. Hyde knew from seeing a picture of him, who it was. He was a man Midge hoped and prayed she'd never see again, but she was wrong.

Midge grabbed onto Hyde for dear life. "How the hell did you find me Chris?"
