I own nothing.

An UnExpected pair
Chapter six, Epilog,

One Year Later.

A year has past, and not a lot has changed, in the town of Point Place. Hyde and Midge are still married, and live in the old Forman house. Hyde's record store in doing great, he now fully owns it. Midge went to beauty school, and is now a beautician. Red and Kitty moved into an apartment across town, Red still has his muffler shop; and kitty has retired. Donna still works at the radio station, and has her own apartment; for her and Eric to live in when he gets back. Bob got a job at Red's muffler shop, and is still single. Kelso and Brook are engaged to be married, and still live in the same apartment; they lived in before. Laurie came back from Canada around Thanksgiving; and got back together with Fez.

Jackie still lives in Chicago, and has a successful job at the TV station. She hardly comes back to Point Place anymore, since she started dating someone from her work. Jackie had grown tired of guys, after other failed relationships; she decided to give up on them. Now she's living with and dating a woman named Mila.

Hyde closed the record store early, and went home. It was the day Eric came home from Africa, and he wanted to be home to see him. He arrived home to find his wife sitting on the couch, watching Days Of Our Lives; he walked in and sat next to her.
"Hey baby, what's up"? Hyde asked leaning in to kiss her.

"Donna left fifteen minutes ago to get Eric at the air port".

Midge got up and walked into the kitchen, Hyde followed her in; and sat at the table. She got him a beer and got one for herself, then walked over and sat at the table. They sat there and drank their beers for a while in silence.

"So how was your day"? She asked breaking the silence.

"It sucked", Hyde said sipping his beer.

"Oh I think I have something that could make it all better", Midge got up and sat on Hyde's lap, and they started making out. They were in the middle of making out when everyone walked in threw the slider.

"Oh get a room", Red vented.

"We have a room, it's called my house", Hyde said as Midge got off his lap.

"You guys are early", Midge said throwing the beer cans away.

"Yes we know", Kitty said. "But Donna left for the air port a little while ago, and we wanted to be here when Eric gets here".

'Cool, lets wait in the living room". Hyde said leading everyone out of the kitchen.

After about an hour of waiting and talking, Donna and Eric walked threw the kitchen door. Everyone stood as he entered the room. Eric was happy to be home, he was happy when he saw Donna at the airport; they'd go up to his room later and make up for lost times. After everyone hugged and welcomed Eric back, they sat and got him caught up.
"Oh Donna you didn't tell me your mom moved back to town. So Mrs. Pinciotti are you and Bob back together"? Eric asked obviously not knowing about Hyde being married to Midge.

"Eric do you remember what I told you in the car"? Donna asked.

"Yes you told me that Kelso and Brook are engaged to be married, that Fez and Laurie are living together, and that Hyde got married".

"Donna Midge Pinciotti, you didn't tell Eric everything that happened this past year", Bob vented.

"You gave Donna your name as her middle name"? Kitty asked in shock.

"Bob's idea, I was too drugged up to know what was going on", Midge defended.

"Donna what didn't you tell me, in the car. Ware's Jackie"? Eric asked.

"She lives in Chicago now, and works at a TV station", Kelso said.

"And she's a lesbian", Fez added.

Eric looked shocked at this news, and also felt bad for Hyde; he really loved Jackie. So whom was Hyde married to anyway?

"So Hyde who was fortunate enough to marry you"? Eric asked.

"Me", Midge said happily as she wrapped her arms around Hyde, who was sitting on the arm of the couch.

Eric was shocked by this news, he couldn't believe his best friend; was married to Donna's mother. The most shocking part was that everyone seemed ok with it, even Donna.

"When did this happen"? He asked.
"Well it all started when I found Jackie and Kelso, in bed together in a hotel room in Chicago". Hyde started telling Eric the whole story, about driving to California, and about finding Midge sleeping in the back of his El Camino. When he got to the part about finding her when he got to Las Vegas, Eric gasped in shock. He finished it off with the part about Chris being in the basement, then said "the rest is history man".

"What ever happened to that god offal man"? Kitty asked.

"Well after he was arrested, I filed a restraining order; saying he was forbidden to come with in one-million feet of me, and anyone else I knew". Midge said.

"Good", Kitty said.

Eric told everyone about Africa. About what he had to teach the kids, and what it was like to live there for the year. He told how there was no TV, no beer, but he had fun. But he missed everyone, and was happy to be home.

"So I'm going to turn in", Eric said walking up to his room. Kitty got up and stopped him from walking up stairs.

"Eric honey, your father and I don't live here anymore. We sold the house to Steven and Midge, and moved into a small apartment across town".

"What the hell"! Eric shouted.

"Eric", Donna said running up to her boyfriend. "All your stuff is at my apartment, we're going to live together".

"NO", he shouted leaving the room; they heard the basement door open and close.

"He's in the basement", Hyde said getting up; "I'm going to go talk to him". He walked out of the room. When he got down to the basement, he saw Eric sitting on the couch. "Hey Forman".

"Hey", Eric said not making eye contact with him. Hyde sat next to him on the couch.

"I'm sorry you had to find out this way, I thought Donna had told you in the car; on the way here".

"How could you do this to me"?

"Forman, Midge and I have been living in the basement for the first three months of our marriage, then your mother offered to sell us this house. At first I said no, because I didn't want you to come back and be homeless. But after a month of talking about it, and after I got full ownership of the record store; we decided it would be a good idea."

At that moment Donna walked down, Hyde saw her and left the room; but not before saying. "I can't believe you didn't tell him this in the car." Then he went upstairs. Donna walked over and sat next to Eric.

"So you don't want to live with me?" She asked.

"No, it's not that, it's just. I was shocked when I heard the news." Eric said moving closer to her, "I do want to live with you."

"Good," Donna said. "So Flash it's getting late, lets go back to our apartment; and make up for lost time." Donna leaned in and kissed him.

"Ok," Eric said as they ran upstairs. When they got up there, everyone was leaving. So Eric and Donna left too.

Midge and Hyde walked into the living room, and plopped on the couch. Hyde rested his head on her lap, and looked up at her. Smiled.
"What are you smiling about?" She asked looking down at him.

"I just realized that one year ago tomorrow. We got married while drunk." Midge laughed then bent down and kissed Hyde. She then looked at the clock on the wall, and saw the time.

"Hey it's twelve-thirty that means it's already tomorrow. So lest go up stairs and celebrate."

Hyde sat up on the couch, "that's a good idea. And this time we're sober." Hyde took Midge in his arms, and they started kissing. "I love you Mrs. Hyde," he said breaking the kiss.

"I love you too Mr. Hyde."
