"I don't see them yet, when are they going to get here, Grandma Kitty?" Betsy questioned as she looked out the window. Eric and Jackie were to be coming back from their honeymoon that day and she was excited to see them.
"They should be here soon, dear. Why don't we draw them a picture so you can give it to them?" the mother of two suggested. Nodding happily, Betsy ran over to the table where her colors and paper was kept and began drawing. Kitty smiled and watched her before heading to go clean up the lunch dishes. She'd loved having Betsy around, but she would be glad for Jackie and Eric's return. She and Red weren't as young as they used to be and keeping up with an almost four-year-old was very tiring.

"Hello is anyone home?" came an excited female voice as Jackie and Eric walked through the front door.
"Uncle Eric, Auntie Jackie!" Betsy yelled as she ran full-tilt towards them and threw her arms around Eric's legs.
"Hey there, kiddo, did you miss us?" he asked as he picked up the excited little girl.
"Yeah, I missed you lots!" she cried leaning in and kissing him sloppily on the cheek.
"I missed you to, sweetie, come here and give me a hug and kiss," Jackie requested. Eric smiled as he transferred Betsy into his wife's arms.
"Hi Auntie Jackie, I'm glad you're home," Betsy said happily.
"I'm glad to be home, did you have fun with Grandma Kitty and Grandpa Red?" The little girl nodded and launched into a recitation of all she'd done while at her grandparents. The rest of the afternoon was spent sharing stories of their time apart.

"So what's up with you guys?" Eric asked as everyone gathered at the Hub for dinner. Betsy was coloring and the others were waiting for their food.
"Donna and I got married yesterday," Hyde announced.
"You got married, but where, why didn't you invite any of us?" Jackie wondered.
"It was a small ceremony; we just went to the court house. Neither of us wanted anything big, I'm sorry if it hurt your feelings," Donna explained.
"We'd love to have been there, but we understand why you did it this way," Eric replied.
"But we didn't get cake," Fez whined.
"Its okay, Fezzy, we'll have our own cake when we get home," Laurie whispered in his ear.
"Oh, I like that idea," Fez said beaming. The others cringed at the undercurrent they caught in the conversation. Thankfully Betsy was still enthralled in her coloring and had no idea what they were talking about. Just then their food arrived and everyone dug in. They had been eating for about five minutes before Jackie spoke up.
"Let's make a toast, to Steven and Donna, may you have a wonderful and happy life."
"To Hyde and Donna," Fez and Eric chorused.
"When are you going to tell Mom and Red?" Eric wondered.
"Oh man, she's really going to be upset she didn't have another wedding, isn't she?" Hyde moaned.
"Yep, I don't envy you," Eric teased.
"Oh hush, you," Jackie said hitting his arm. Everyone started laughing and continued to celebrate the wonderful friends news, all the while knowhing that Red and Kitty would be happy for them in the end.
