A/N- Thanks to those of you who reviewed. I'll try to get one chapter up a day, if I remember... I get distracted too easily- that's why it took so long to get thisfic up in the first place.LOL. Anyways, on with the story...

Chapter 2 - In Shock.

For a moment the room was still, Jackie and Hyde stood staring at each other. Hyde was visibly stunned, and Jackie tentatively waited for his answer, her eyes met his anxiously. "Steven?" She spoke softly, afraid of what he was about to say.

"Oh. Err… yeah." Hyde croaked out feebly, still shocked.

Jackie's colour quickly returned and a huge smile spread across her face. "Did- did you just say YES?" Her tiny hands tugged gently on his shirt, moving him closer to her.

"Err… yeah." He mumbled, still unable to comprehend exactly what had happened.

"Oh Steven!" Jackie squealed as she grabbed him. Standing on the tips of her toes she clasped her arms tightly around his neck, and kissed him sweetly on the lips, pulling him down towards her as she did so. Although the kiss only lasted a few moments, it expressed every emotion that surged through their bodies. Suddenly she broke away, "Wow!" She bit her bottom lip and gazed blankly into space, deep in thought.

"Jackie? What is it?"

"I- I can't believe it, you actually said yes and we're getting married, YAY!" She jumped up and down, clapping excitedly. She stopped suddenly, and with a serious expression on her face she asked, "You're not gonna run out on me now are you?"

"Um, no."

"Good, because now that we're engaged, you have to go and buy me a ridiculously expensive ring. With a biiigg pretty diamond… Hmm… bigger than Donna's and err…prettier than Donna's!"

"Jackie, shut your pie-hole!"

"Steven! Huh?"

He leaned in and kissed her deeply, passionately, drawing her into him. He pulled back and stared at her.

"Mmm…" She murmured softly, the taste of his kiss on her lips, her eyes still closed. She didn't move.

Hyde smirked, Yep, I'm good. He thought to himself and continued to stare at her as he sat down on the couch. "Hmm…" he mumbled as he picked up the discarded box of candy and opened it, carelessly ripping the ribbon that held it together.

"Steven, stop! Your ruining it!" Jackie cried, suddenly now awake.

"What? Its just a box and you crushed the damn thing anyway!" He reached inside the box, picked out a piece of candy and ate it. "Here, do you want some?" He said through a mouth full of chocolate and held out the box to Jackie.

"Huh, not now Steven." She sighed and rolled her eyes, feeling as though the moment had been ruined.

"You sure?" Hyde asked shaking the box.

"That's okay, I'll have some later."

"Sure?" He asked again, moving the box nearer to her.

"Okay fine, I will." Jackie said soberly. She sat down on the couch next to Hyde and took the box from him. When she looked inside, amongst the candy which she was expecting to see, was a small velvet covered box. Jackie just stared in shock, feeling unable to move. "Steven… I- I…"

Hyde got up, took out the velvet box and flipped it open. Inside lay a petite gold band with a solitary diamond.

Jackie suddenly bounced back up and threw the candy down onto the couch. "Oh, Steven! Its pink!" She exclaimed. "Aww, it's- it's perfect!" She paused, "Is it real?"

"Yep. Pink diamond, thought you might like it, coz… its… er… pink- and you like pink."

"I do, I love it…" Jackie paused, staring wide-eyed at the ring as Hyde gently placed it on her finger. "It fits perfectly. How did you know what size to get?"

"I stole one of your rings to match the fit… then pawned it to buy this one."

Jackie looked at him incredulously.

"I'm kidding! Jeez woman!"

She smiled as her eyes drifted back to the ring. "Aww, its beautiful." She purred as she held out her hand, the stone glistened in the light.

"Your beautiful." Hyde said as Jackie looked up to face him. He gazed into her big blue-green eyes, which sparkled as much as the ring on her finger. He cupped her face with his hands and kissed her gently. Jackie suddenly pulled away, leaving Hyde more than a little surprised. "Huh?" What now? He thought to himself.

"Wait a minute." Jackie went quiet, lost in thought. Oh my God! What have I done?

"What is it?"

"You were going to propose to me today, weren't you?"

A smile covered Hyde's face. "Yep." He nodded.

"Oh…" She paused, "So did I just steal your thunder?"

"Steal my what?" He said frowning, somewhat confused.

"Your thunder, you know, err… Oh, stop it, you know what I mean!"

"Um… well actually you just saved me from actually having to do it." He said teasing.

"Steven!" Tears began to well up in her eyes with all the emotions she was feeling. She knew that he was only fooling around, but couldn't help getting upset, "Oh, I'm sorry Steven. Sorry for spoiling it for you." She said, knowing deep down that it wasn't just him it had been spoiled for.

"Hey, its okay babe. It was worth it just to watch you squirm!" He said in a weak attempt to cheer her up, trying his best not to laugh.

"Steven!" She slapped him on the arm and smiled as he shot her a playful look. A single tear escaped from her eye, and rested on her cheek.

Hyde wiped the tear away with his thumb and wrapped his arms around her drawing her close. Relief washed over her as she melted into the warmth of his body and the safety of his arms…
