Jackie "Michael after all you've done to the girl, who knows how many things she doesn't even know about. Why do you think she would be better off with you? (softer) why do you deserve her?"

Kelso "Cause deep down she loves me, and I love her that used to be enough for you. Don't you remember you used to believe in Price Charmings, true love, and happily ever after. So Fez was the wrong frog, that doesn't mean the dream dies."

Jackie "This isn't about Fez and me, it's about Brooke and you."

Kelso shakes his head. "This has nothing to do with me or Brooke."

Jackie "What?"

Kelso "We're fine, I see Betsy every day after school, we take the dogs to the park while Brooke works. I'm thinking of asking her to move into me, although that will probably mean the dogs have to sleep outside."

Jackie "Why would you lie to me?"

Kelso "Donna was worried about you, and she talked to Brooke and Brooke told me to come here."

Jackie "I see Donna every week why wouldn't she..."

Kelso "They told me you were lost, so I told them to put up posters, like I did the time I lost Smelly, but then they told me you had lost yourself, and that was even more confusing. So anyhow they said I should talk about love and stuff. And I told them, you weren't going to marry me, so then Brooke wrote down what I was supposed to say and I had to memorize it."

Jackie "I can't believe you did that to me Michael."

Kelso "Auh!"

Hyde "Jackie"

They both turn to face him.

Hyde "He came from Chicago, ask him why."

Jackie looks at Michael.

Kelso "To see everyone?"

Hyde "He came for you."

Jackie looks back to Kelso who doesn't say anything.

Jackie "Well who asked him to?" she gets up to leave. Hyde holds onto her arm.

Hyde "Let's take a walk."

Jackie "Let go of me Steven."

Hyde "As long as you agree to talk to me."

Jackie "Fine. Let's go. (Hyde takes her hand and starts walking her out.) Michael I'm sorry. I'll try to talk to you later today."

Outside walking, Jackie "How did you find us?"

Hyde "The nurse behind the desk was keeping an eye on you, overheard you talking. Jackie what's going on? Donna shouldn't have to ask Brooke to send Kelso to get you to talk."

Jackie "Everyone is just over reacting, Markus ODed not me."

Hyde hailed a cab. "Get in."

Jackie "Where are we going?"

Hyde "Somewhere I can talk to you and watch you closely, if I watch you close enough I can read you pretty well."

Quite predictably, they ended up at Hyde's place. They walked into the condo and Jackie looked around for a place to sit.

Hyde "Not here, the roof."

They got up there, surrounding them was the same beautiful view as the day before.

Hyde "Sit."

Jackie sat but wouldn't look at him.

Hyde "I'm not Kelso, I'm not going to lie to you to try and figure you out. But I'll also not going to put up with lies and the incomplete truth. You had your chance with people who will take your bull. Now you're going to deal with me."

Jackie gave him the 'you dare talk to me like that' look.

Hyde "I knew you were in there somewhere. I know we have a history, but we've all been friends for so long that's sort of inevitable." He sighed. "I talked to Markus this morning when he woke up. The dumbass told me a lot more than he should have. Now I want to know why I had to be the one to tell him to get lost?"

Jackie crying a little tried to hold back the tears. "Every night, I tell him I'm not letting him come home with me. But somehow, after I'm drunk I let him in. He doesn't do anything to me in my sleep anymore, I managed to scare him off doing that."

Hyde "What Jackie on top of all that crap he raped you, (sort of going into his own space, pacing.) if he was right here, I'd wring that little cock-suckers neck till he became blue again, and there wouldn't be anyone giving him mouth to mouth, just me and him in room. I'm going back to hospital. (Stopped and turned towards Jackie) and you know there's a hell of a lot a guy can do to you, and you wouldn't have a clue. What was stopping him from forcing it."

Jackie "His addiction to me. He knew if he went too far, he wouldn't see me again."

Hyde "That's not good enough. Why didn't you come to me, or Donna, I can't believe I was in the same room with him and he got out without a scratch. Wait, you're better than this, why don't you know that?"

Jackie "You don't know anything, after all the things I've done to Fez and you, I don't really deserve anyone."

Hyde "That's bullshit. Fez wasn't there for you, and all you did was leave him, and the only thing you've done to me is make me think you were cheating, I'd hardly call that..."

Jackie whispering so low he barely hears her "I lost the greatest thing you ever gave me."

Hyde "There's nothing I gave you while we were together that had more than a sentimental value, but even you wouldn't be this upset over crap. This is what you haven't told me about. This is what Donna was screaming about the first day you came to New York. Isn't it? Ok well games up… fuck. 'The greatest thing I ever gave you.' I knocked you up, didn't I?"

Jackie looked shocked, and gave a light nod.

Hyde "Only you, would call my bastard 'the greatest thing I ever gave you' it wasn't a fucking present Jackie. It was unsafe sex, shit weren't you on the pill? You've always been on it."

Jackie shock her head, tears on her checks "Fez and I, we weren't, so I figured, why should I bother."

Hyde sat down and wiped her tears "Jacks, tell me what happened." She couldn't have had it, he saw her 4 months later, it must have been an abortion… or a miscarriage.

Jackie "I lost it, the doctor tried to tell me there was something wrong, I didn't really have any morning sickness, and…" she falls into his shoulder.

Hyde "Jackie, you can't change anything now. You can't punish yourself over crap like this. You should have told me sooner. When I found out about Markus I was really, well I was scared, you can't do this to me. Let me take care of you." He holds onto her.

She pulls away "Oh shit, I'm dreaming again."

Hyde "No you're not. Listen I know you don't want to be with me, but I need you near me. I can't sleep if I don't know you're ok anymore. Look at me, I own this building, I'm going to develop the bottom floor to the 10th store, I'll kick out the tenants who live just below me, and you can live there. Markus wont dare see you if he knows I'm nearby."

Jackie nods lightly, then looks like she's thinking, "No I can't. I'll hear you all day, every day, if you bring a girl up there, I'll hear that too. I can't do it."

Hyde smirks "Oh I'm like a priest, the last girl I was with was you. Before that it had been a couple of years. You don't have to worry about that."

Jackie smiles "You're kidding (Hyde doesn't say anything) oh my god, you're not. Steven what happened to you?"

Hyde shrugs "I never got over my last girlfriend."

Jackie looks determined "Do you forgive me?"

Hyde "For what?"

Jackie "Losing our baby."

Hyde "You're such a little girl sometimes, (she looks at him seriously) (sarcastically) Fine, I forgive you."

Jackie sighs. "Hold me Steven." As she gets on his lap. He has the same look on his face as the last time she did this. Jackie whispers "and never let me go." He holds onto her tighter. She loosens his grip and gazes at him deeply.

Hyde "What are you thinking about."

Jackie "We are just about the dumbest twenty-somethings ever."

Hyde "Well maybe you are, but I don't think I…"

She cuts him off by straddling him.

Jackie "Steven, with our history, this question may mean I finally take the crown from Kelso. But if I asked you…"

Hyde cuts her off. "One step at a time, will you stay the night?"

Jackie kisses him, she never answered the question.
