I saw you yesterday with an old friend
"Mr. and Mrs. Forman that's…Steven?"
"Jackie dear, is that you going to help Donna?" As Kitty looked at the girl she had come to see as her daughter, she saw the fear in Jackie's eyes she knew Jackie didn't want to tell Steven about Penny and she could understand some of the reasons why. What Kitty didn't understand was why Jackie chose Kelso? She knew Jackie loved Steven and vice versa. She just didn't get how these two kids couldn't see that themselves….
"Um… Yeah that's me off. Just phone me if you need me or anything!" with that Jackie rushed out the room, she couldn't believe that he was there. She couldn't believe that in the moment she looked at him again everything she felt for him three years ago surged through her body again and that suddenly she was 17 again, falling even more in love with Steven Hyde from just one look. Jackie was so dazed that it wasn't until she was standing outside the Hub that she realized that she forgot to tell the Forman's that penny was up stairs sleeping. Suddenly Jackie had to get to a phone she only hoped Penny hadn't started crying, its not that she wasn't wanting Steven to know, it was just that, that was not the right way for him to find out. If he was going to find out then she wanted it to be her telling him instead of him discovering it by himself and getting angry with her. He would still probably be angry with her when she told him but at least he would maybe listen to and understand her reason for keeping this secret.
It
was the same old same how have you been
Hyde sat in the Forman kitchen vaguely listening to Kitty, Red deciding to sit in his den to watch the football while Kitty caught Hyde up on the goings on of Point Place. She was telling him about what Fez, Kelso and Laurie were doing. It was when she said that Kelso and Laurie had been married for two years and had a kid that Hyde started paying attention to what the older lady was saying. He knew Kelso ran out on Jackie after he left Forman told him that but he didn't tell him that Kelso had run off with Laurie. God! Poor Jackie, she never really got a break, mind you, and he hated himself for thinking it but it was her own fault for choosing Kelso in the first place. It was at that moment the phone rang and Kitty answered it she was so distracted by the person on the line that she didn't notice that Hyde was no longer sitting in the kitchen. When Kitty came off the phone and realized that Steven wasn't sitting at the table she started to panic, however, she hadn't heard him shout 'what the hell' yet! So it couldn't be too bad. She checked in the basement incase he went down to see his old room, but he wasn't there. She ran back up stairs and checked the driveway incase she just didn't see him out there in her panic but there was still no Steven. She went into the living room and saw him descending the stairs.
"Where were you?" she asked trying to sound calm.
"Uh…bathroom. Sorry I would have said but you were on the phone." Hyde heard the slight tinge of fear in her voice but decided to ignore it.
"Oh, well then, um… I was just thinking maybe you should go meet Eric at the Hub and catch up with him for a little bit, while I bake you some cookies you are far to thin."
Hyde knew that she was just trying to get him out of the house so he agreed and left to go to the Hub. While he was walking to the Hub he couldn't help but be amused at Kitty's attempt to get him out of the house. He was also thankful that Kitty was to busy trying to usher him out the house that she hadn't notice that he stuttered when telling her where he was. In truth he didn't lie to her he was on his way to the bathroom but was distracted when he passed by Laurie's old room from the soft light that was coming from it. He decide he best turn it off as there did not seem to be anyone in the room, however, when Hyde entered the room he saw a little girl sleeping. Hyde knew as soon as he saw her who she was, Eric had called him about 3 months after he left to tell him about her. Eric was also the one who sent him photos of her and in turn passed on the presents from Hyde saying they were an extra gift that he bought for her. This tiny little girl was also the reason why Hyde had came home in the first place, he was tired of missing her growing up and wanted to hold her when she cried, make her laugh and just generally be around for once in her very young life after all what father wouldn't want to see their baby girl.
Since you've been gone my world's been dark and grey
