Jackie and Barry talked about baby names as there was a buzz on the intercom. Jackie looked at the clock, and saw that it was a little past two. She growled because Hyde wasn't home, but then put on a genuine smile, because Donna and Eric had arrived. She hit the button.

"Yes?"

"We're heeeere!" the cheery voice said.

"Come on up!" she said, letting them up. She looked at herself in the mirror again, and Barry rolled his eyes.

"You look FINE," he said, and she rubbed her stomach. "You and the little parasite."

"What did you call my baby?"

"You heard me."

"Bastard."

"I love you."

"Love you too." There was a knocking at the door, and she opened it. Donna and Eric were there, and their three year old son was in Eric's arms. Jackie and Donna shrieked and hugged, which was awkward for two pregnant women.

"Come in!" Jackie said. "Come into our apartment! You should see our apartment!"

"Oh my God, I'm in New York," Eric said. "This is the most glamorous place I've been to, I'm actually giddy."

"You've been to Africa!" Donna exclaimed.

"Oh, what, in a hut?" he asked. "Big deal! This is New FREAKING York!"

"New Freaking York!" Tommy exclaimed. Donna shot Eric a look, and took Tommy from his arms.

"What an influence," she said. "Anyway, how are you?"

"Oh please sit down, just make Barry move over!" Jackie said, and Barry shook his head at her. Donna and Barry hugged, and Barry shook Eric's hand.

"Where is Hyde?" Eric asked.

"Oh, he's at the store, a last minute thing," Jackie said. "But it really shouldn't take long, or so he said. How was your flight?"

"Fine, uneventful," Donna said, letting Tommy down onto the floor. "I felt nauseated for a good deal of it."

"And wouldn't stop complaining," Eric said.

"You made me this way, I blame you," she said. "And then… Well, Tommy slept the whole time. And I read some. It was actually really boring. How was your morning?"

"I had to help her with a clothes crisis," Barry said. "She thinks she looks bad in everything."

"You look wonderful, Jackie, what are you talking about?" Donna asked.

"You look great too!" Jackie said. "Oh, I wish that Steven would get here soon. He's missing the reunion."

Jackie could not know that Hyde was having a reunion of his own, one he never thought he would have.

---------------------------------

Sam looked pretty good still, for being thirty four. She seemed to be fairly happy to see him, despite the fact that she had left him without much of a phrase beyond 'you're still in love with that bratty princess'. Now she was looking at him amorously. He was still stunned.

"Sam, what are you doing in New York?" he asked.

"I'm here, staying with a friend," she said. And then winked. "But don't worry, it's not a very good friend. What about you?"

"I live here, this is my store," he said.

"That's quite the change," she said. "Well, city wise I guess. So how have you been?"

"I'm good. I'm really good, actually," he said, and Jake was staring at the hottie over the counter. "Jake, go do a count of the inventory again, I think you miscounted." He nodded, and left them alone.

"So, what is up in your life?" Sam asked, leaning on the counter. Hyde shrugged.

"Married," he said, holding up his left hand. He caught a glimmer of disappointment, but it turned to happiness, so he forgot about it quickly.

"That's so great!" she exclaimed. "Wow, you finally were able to get married, that's wonderful. Too bad it wasn't to me, but I guess that's my loss."

"Heh, oh, I don't know," he said, trying to be polite.

"So who's the lucky girl?" she asked.

"Well, you actually know her…"

"… Nooo. Not the princess!"

"Yeah."

"Oh wow," she said, and laughed. "She finally roped you in."

"It took her ten years," he stated, and she giggled. "We were married this March. She's an interior decorator. We're actually expecting our first child in the fall."

"That's nice. Though the months don't add up," she said, arching an eyebrow at him. He smirked, and shrugged.

"Well, you know how it goes," he said.

"Did she trap you?" she asked. He was caught off guard by this question, and was insulted by it, though he wasn't going to say it outright.

"No, I proposed before I knew she was pregnant," he said. "But we're both pretty excited."

"I can imagine," she said. "Well, I think that you and I should go out for lunch sometime. I'm in town until indefinitely. I'll give you the phone number of where I'm staying." She wrote it down for him, and he put it in his pocket.

"Sure, I'll give you a call, lunch could be nice," he said. Jake came out of the back room at that point.

"Mr. Hyde, you were right. I miscounted, there was a box hiding in the shadows," he said. "Sorry."

"It's okay," Hyde said. "I'll just be going home then. And I will give you a call, Sam."

"Glad to hear it," she said. She waved, and left the store.

"She's hot!" Jake said.

"You should have seen her eleven years ago," Hyde said.

--------------------------------

Jackie and Donna had retreated to the bedroom to talk while Barry, Eric, and Tommy sat in the main room.

"How's the decorating business?" Eric asked.

"It's good. How's the teaching business?" Barry retorted.

"Thankless."

"That's a consensus, isn't it?" Barry asked.

"Yeah, kind of," Eric said. "So, how's the love life? Still into men?" He immediately regretted the question, and Barry kind of looked at him funnily.

"Yeah, I still like men," Barry said, censoring his phrasing because of the little boy who was playing with one of Jackie's stuffed animals.

"I didn't mean it like that," Eric said, attempting to pull his foot out of his mouth.

"It's okay," Barry said. "We're both struggling right now."

"I blame the women," Eric stated. "We could rebel and storm the bedroom."

"Yes, but do we really want to hear about pregnancy woes?" Barry asked.

"I've heard it all, I'm used to it," Eric said.

"I don't let Jackie get that far with me," Barry said. "I stop her when she mentions water retention." Eric chuckled, and both of them began to feel a little more at ease.

Jackie and Donna were feeling each other's bellies.

"Donna, how could you bring yourself to do this again?" Jackie asked. "I am not enjoying the pregnancy thing."

"You just wait for the labor thing," Donna said. "Worst pain ever."

"I hate pain," Jackie said. "Come on, did it really hurt that much?"

"Are you kidding me?" Donna asked. "Take the worst cramps you've ever had in your life and multiply by five thousand."

"Aw hell," Jackie muttered. "Well, it obviously didn't hurt enough for you to avoid being pregnant again."

"That's only because the end is worth the means," Donna said. "You'll see what I mean." Jackie shrugged.

"So are you finding out the sex?" Donna continued.

"No, that's going to be a surprise," Jackie said.

"Well what do you want?"

"A girl of course."

"Well, I have a secret, but you cannot tell Eric," Donna said.

"What's that?"

"I'm having twins."

"No WAY!"

"Shhh!" Donna exclaimed, putting a hand over Jackie's mouth. "It's a surprise!"

"When are you going to tell him?" Jackie asked. Donna sighed, and shrugged.

"When he gets a raise," Donna said. "He's already freaking out about kids and money because he's a teacher and all."

"But your store is successful, isn't it?" Jackie asked. Donna nodded, but looked skeptical.

"Yeah, it's successful, but it doesn't bring in a huge profit," Donna said. "If we were just having one baby, we'd be completely fine. Better than fine as a matter of fact. But TWO more babies, that's doubling the expenses, and you know how it goes."

"Yeah," Jackie said, though the only time she'd been low on money was when her Dad first went to prison. She had been fairly comfortable since.

"So hopefully he'll get a raise come fall, and then the babies will be born and we'll be able to make ends meet," Donna said. "Until then, it's a surprise."

"So, you're telling him just as soon as the second one is born, right?" Jackie teased, and Donna laughed and tapped her finger against her chin.

"It's not a bad idea," Donna said, and they both laughed. "So, names?"

"Baby names?" Jackie asked.

"No, country names. Of course baby names."

"Well, if it's a boy, I want to name him James," Jackie said. "And Steven agrees with me on this one. But when it comes to girl names it gets trickier."

"How come?"

"Because he doesn't like girly names and I do," Jackie said. "I suggested Mercedes and he said that his daughter wasn't going to be named after a car. So then I thought maybe Isabella, and he said that we aren't Italian."

"You should go with the classics," Donna said. "Take a Shakespeare name or something."

"Like Juliet?"

"There are better girl names than that in his works," Donna said. "Just flip through some of his plays."

"I'll remember that. What about you?"

"Get this. Eric told me that if it's a girl we should name it Leia, and if it's a boy we should name it Luke."

"You're kidding."

"It's so appropriate and he has no idea why."

The door to the apartment opened, and Hyde saw Eric on the couch. Eric stood, and raised his eyebrows.

"Emergency at the store, huh?" he asked.

"What can I say, my employees are dumbasses," Hyde said. They did the whole 'manly clap on the back' hug, and Donna and Jackie left the bedroom.

"Hi there, Daddy to be!" Donna said, hugging him.

"I'm not ready to be called that yet," Hyde said, hugging her back.

"You better be ready in four months," Jackie called.

"Plenty of time," Eric said. "Okay, now that we're reunited, and now that we have five days, what is there all to do in this glorious city?"

"What isn't there to do?" Barry asked. "But for now I take my leave. I have a date to get ready for. Jackie, I may call you later."

"If it's a dating emergency I will do all I can," she said. She hugged him, and he pat her stomach. "Why does everyone do that?"

"It's like a giant orb," Barry said. "Like a moon that must be touched."

"That's no moon, it's a space station," Eric said. Everyone looked at him, and Tommy giggled. "At least SOMEONE appreciates the Star Wars humor."

"Stop making my son a nerd!" Donna said, picking Tommy up.

"We nerds shall have our revenge someday," Barry said. "I saw it in a movie once. Afternoon, all."

Jackie began listing off many restaurants off the top of her head, which were child friendly, and Donna would put in her opinion every once in awhile. As they discussed restaurants, Eric and Hyde sat on the couch and drank beer, catching up on work and life.

"So was the emergency at the store averted?" Eric asked, and Hyde nodded.

"Yeah, my employee miscounted the stock we had," Hyde said, sipping the beer. "Though, and you can't tell Jackie or Donna this, I ran into a familiar face."

"Who was that?"

"… Samantha."

"Whoa. I never thought I'd hear THAT name again," Eric said. "How does that work?"

"She's in town with a friend, and she happened to be in my store," he said. "It was very surreal."

"Is she still hot?" Eric asked, quietly, eying the women who were sitting in the kitchen.

"… Yeah."

"But it's not like you're gonna see her again, so what's the big deal?" Eric asked. Hyde didn't answer. "You aren't gonna see her again, are you?"

"Well, we may go to lunch," Hyde said.

"BAD MOVE," Eric hissed. "Jackie would be pissed."

"She has nothing to worry about," Hyde said. "It's just lunch between exes. And we both know I'm happily married."

"Okay, fine fine fine." Eric said. "God, what are they planning over there?"

"Who knows? I'm just going with the flow," Hyde said. "I suggest you do the same thing."

"Yeah, I've learned this over the years," Eric said.

"AHEM," Donna said, walking to the men with Tommy in tow. "We have decided. I have assured Jackie that Tommy is of good temperament, and there is a place called, um… Jackie, what's it called?"

"Island Burgers and Shakes," Jackie said, brushing her hair.

"Yes," Donna answered.

"GOOD CHOICE," Hyde said.

"There are burgers and sandwiches and shakes," Jackie said. "It's all quite good and I think that you will enjoy it."

"Is it as good as The Hub?" Eric asked.

"Better," Hyde said.

"That's hard to believe," Donna said.

"You'll believe it soon enough," Jackie answered, slipping on her shoes. "They don't have fries though. Only potato chips."

"Tommy loves potato chips," Donna stated.

"That's convenient then," Jackie said. "Shall we go?"

"Sounds great!" Hyde said, a little too optimistically. The rest of them looked at him funnily. Even Tommy knew that this was out of character for his Uncle Hyde.

"Since when do you like burgers that much?" Jackie asked, eyebrows raised.

"I love burgers, you know that," he said. She and Donna looked at him, warily. He smiled as coolly as possible, and Eric pretended he knew nothing of the plot that was at hand. Jackie put her hands on her hips, and studied Hyde's face.

"What are you up to?" she asked.

"Nothing," Hyde said.

"You're up to something," Donna said.

"I am not!" Hyde protested.

"He is not," Eric stated. Donna then turned to Eric. "What?"

"What are you two up to?" she asked.

"Can we go to lunch, please?" Eric asked. Donna stared at him, and he averted his eyes. "Stop staring at me."

"No, if I stare long enough you will tell me what is going on," she said.

"Mommy, I'm hungry," Tommy said.

"Our son is hungry, we should go," Eric said, and Donna kept staring. "Please stop." But it was clear that he was beginning to crack under pressure.

"Foreman," Hyde warned, and Donna nudged Tommy forward. Tommy began staring too. Eric slowly began to sink into the chair, gritting his teeth. "Foreman, I swear to God.."

"Hyde is meeting Sam for lunch later this week!" he exclaimed. A flurry of action began at that point. Donna grabbed Tommy off the carpet and pulled him to safety. Hyde leapt up, about to pummel Eric. But Jackie knocked him back into his chair.

"My GOD she moves fast when she's mad!" Eric exclaimed. Jackie glared at Hyde, and he thought that he was going to get it. But instead of beginning to yell at him, she turned, and walked calmly into the bedroom. She closed the door, and then the angry silence began to emanate through the apartment. If Jackie made noise you knew she would get over it. But if she was silent, it was the worst anger you could ever imagine.

"Thanks, man," Hyde said, sarcastically. "You are so whipped."

"She got the kid in on it too, man!" Eric exclaimed. "They double teamed me!" Donna set Tommy back on the floor, and glared at both of them.

"You two s-!" She remembered the impressionable child before her, and covered his ears with her hands. And with a whisper, she finished. "You two suck!"

"We don't suck, he sucks!" Eric hissed.

"I don't suck, it's not a big deal!" Hyde exclaimed.

"You are both pigs!" Donna exclaimed. "You are both goddamn jerks!"

"I can heaaaar you," Tommy said. Donna sighed, and handed Tommy to Eric.

"You two are going out to lunch," she said. "I am here doing damage control."

"Maybe I should talk to her," Hyde said.

"If you go near that door she will probably rip it off the hinges and beat you with it," Eric said. "Seriously. Hormones, man."

"Go to lunch!" Donna exclaimed. "Bye Tommy, Mommy loves you!" Hyde and Eric sighed, and Donna smiled at Hyde sympathetically.

"I knew you wouldn't stay mad at me," he said.

"I do this cuz I love you both," she said. "Go."
