It was now two days later and everyone was staying at the Forman house. Jackie and Eric were in the process of moving both Eric and Betsy's things into Jackie's place. Since it had two bedrooms it seemed the right choice to move in instead of trying to find a new place for the three of them. That could happen later once things had settled down. None of the gang had slept much. Betsy refused to be out of either Eric or Jackie's line of vision. The only time they could leave her was when she was napping. Walking into the kitchen, Eric gave his mom a weak smile.

"Hi, Eric, are you and Jackie about ready to head over to the lawyers office for the reading of Brooke and Michael's will?" she asked sweetly.

"Yeah, but I hate leaving Betsy here."

"She'll be fine, we'll all take care of her until you get back," Kitty promised.

"Yeah, Mrs. Forman's right, she'll be fine," Hyde agreed as he entered from the basement.

"I don't know about that. Last time she woke up and neither of us could be found she freaked out," Jackie said softly.

"Go, you have to do this, and this isn't a place to take a child to. We'll manage," Kitty assured her son and his girlfriend. Reluctantly the two young adults nodded as they turned and headed for the door with heavy hearts. XXXX

"This is the reading of Michael Christopher Kelso's will, and Brooke Leslie Rockwells will. If you'd please be seated, we will begin," the lawyer said pointing to both sets of parents and Eric and Jackie. Everyone sat and stared blankly in front of them. The lawyer began reading both wills. For the most part Jackie and Eric tuned him out. "Now, in the matter of the minor child, Bethany Victoria Kelso, hereby known as Betsy. Both Michael and Brooke have indicated that in the event that something should happen to them and they aren't able to care for their daughter that Eric Albert Forman and Jacqueline Beulah Burkhart will take custody of her until such time that she is a legal adult." Everyone in the room was crying by this point. Noticing that Jackie's hands were shaking, Eric reached out and took her right one into his left one and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Do the two of you understand what they are asking of you, and do you accept this responsibility?" asked the lawyer.

"Yes, sir, we do," Jackie answered confidently. Eric nodded in agreement.

"Very well then, if you'd sign these papers for me, we'll be done here. You will be receiving a copy for your records in the mail in the next two weeks," he explained as both Eric and Jackie signed where indicated.

"Is there anything else you need from us? We really should be getting back to Betsy. She doesn't deal well if we're gone," Eric explains.

"No, I've got all I need. Once again, I'm sorry for your loss," the lawyer says softly.

"Thank you," Jackie whispered.

"We'll be by to see her later today," Brooke's mother said.

"Okay, any of you can come see her whenever you want and we definitely want her to spend time with both sets of grandparents and all her uncles. We don't want to keep any of you from her," Jackie swore.

"We know you don't, dear," Victoria Kelso said hugging her granddaughter's godmother tightly before letting her go so she and Eric could go be with Betsy. XXXX

Shortly after Eric and Jackie left, Betsy woke up. Climbing out of the toddler bed Kitty had purchased at a garage sale and placed in Laurie's room she patted down the hall looking for either her uncle Eric or her Aunt Jackie. The little girl toddled into the kitchen where she usually found them and began to get upset when she couldn't find them. Tears filled her eyes and she began to cry. Kitty who heard the crying came from the living room to see what the matter was.

"Hey there, Betsy. Did you have a nice nap?" she asked trying to calm her down.

"Unca Eric, Auntie Jackie?" she asked her bottom lip trembling.

"They had to go somewhere for a bit, but they'll be back very soon. Why don't we go color, how does that sound?" Kitty suggested picking her up and heading into the living room.

"No! Wan Eric and Jackie!" At that she burst into tears and began crying. Her cries escalated two heart-wrenching screams. The screams from the living room caught everyones attention and they all came running. For the next half hour, Kitty, Red, Donna, Fez, and Hyde took turns walking with Betsy trying to calm her down. She'd manage to work herself up so much that she threw up on Red. The older man who would have normally gotten mad at such a thing just handed the little girl to his wife and changed his shirt then brought back new clothes for Betsy. Once she was changed he took her back and continued pacing.

"Shh, sweetheart, Eric and Jackie will be home soon," he said trying to soothe her.

"Not angels?" she asked. Red felt his heart break at the innocent question.

"No, they aren't angels. I promise they're coming back," he swore.

"They won't go bye-bye?" she checked.

"No, they won't," Hyde explained reaching for the slightly calmer two-year-old. She went willingly into her uncle Steven's arms even though she still continued to cry slightly. XXXX

Just then the back door slid open and in walked the two missing members of the family. Walking into the living room they rushed over to Hyde when they saw him holding a still crying Betsy.

"Auntie Jackie, Unca Eric!" she cried launching herself at the two adults. Eric caught her easily and lifted her into his arms. Jackie smiled softly as she placed an arm around the little girls shoulders.

"Is everything okay here?" she asked worriedly. Just then Eric noticed the slight smell that still lingered in the air.

"What's that smell?" he asked with a sour look on his face.

"Betsy accidentally threw up on your father," Kitty informed her son.

"What, oh my gosh," Eric exclaimed.

"Are you okay now, sweetie?" Jackie checked placing a hand on Betsy's forehead. Betsy nodded finally having calmed down.

"She was just upset because you two weren't here, but we managed to calm her down," Red replied. Both young adults nodded.

"Well, we should go over to the apartment to unpack the last of Eric and Betsy's things. We'll be staying their starting tomorrow after the funeral," Jackie informed the group.

"Okay, you can stay here as long as you need, but I understand," Kitty said hugging the little family before letting them go so they could head off to finish settling things at the apartment.
