Saturday August 6th 1980
When the morning came, Jackie arose well rested. She saw the time. Donna was going to be picking her up at the apartment in a half hour. She scrambled out of the cot gave Hyde a kiss on the cheek and whispered in his ear. "See you at the altar." Then she ran out of the room.
Jackie made it back about five minutes before Donna arrived. Just enough time to grab all her stuff. Donna arrived and Jackie followed her to her car.
The arrived at the Foreman's. Hyde had been given strict instructions to not move from the basement. Jackie was to not move from Eric's room.
From their discussion yesterday Donna had brought Jackie something from the pharmacy and she needed to take it to see what was up or if was in fact just nerves and nothing else.
Fez and Buddy were in Eric's room doing hair and helping with Jackie's makeup. It was about an hour until time to walk down the aisle. The photographer was there to take pictures of her getting ready, putting on her dress, things like that. Jackie slipped into her wedding dress.
Jackie's dress was an off the shoulder long A line with a short train, there was some flower and sparkle lace embedded into the dress. A short locket hung from her neck. Her hair piled up on her head with dropped earrings.
Kitty was there and she just couldn't contain herself anymore. She started to cry happy tears.
Through tear Kitty asked. "Do you want me to go get Pam?"
"Oh no Mrs. Foreman. My mom is here only as a spectator. I'd rather have you here." Jackie replied.
"Awww Jackie!" Kitty said wrapping her arms around Jackie. "Well what about your father?"
"No, no. He's just here as a spectator as well." Jackie said looking down at her feet. "But umm if you wouldn't mind getting Mr. Foreman."
Kitty stopped crying and just stared at Jackie. "Umm I'd really like it if he walked me down the aisle. I just didn't ask him before because I knew he wouldn't want to be a big deal." Jackie said.
Through more happy tears. "Of course I will. I know he would really like that."
Kitty turned and walked out of the room.
"You look a-b-a-ut-if-ful Jackie." Fez said.
"Thanks Fez!"
Fez disappeared out the door while Red was walking in with Kitty in tow.
Through watery eyes after looking at Jackie, Red coughed. "I heard a bride needed someone to walk her down the aisle."
Jackie's eyes started to water with happy tears at the sight of Red getting all teary eyed. Red and Kitty was more a father and mother to her than her own parents. Red especially was great. He taught her cars and actually took the time to talk to her and listen.
"Yea I do. Would you mind doing the honors?" Jackie said with a big smile.
Red walked forward and gave Jackie a hug. "Of course sweet heart."
The two of them turned towards the photographer. She snapped a few pictures before asking Kitty to jump in. Then Jackie took a few with just Jackie. "Oh I am just so excited!" Kitty said with the biggest smile on her face. "You've really been like a daughter to me and I am just so glad your marrying my second son."
"Aww thank you Mrs. Foreman, thank you for taking care of him. He's turned into a good man because of you." Jackie said.
"And he's become a better man because of you." Kitty responded.
The two hugged. Fez walked in. "Okay it's time."
Kitty squeezed Jackie's hand. "See you out there."
Kitty followed after Fez and the photographer left to take her place.
Red offered Jackie's his arm. "Ready to get this started."
"Absolutely," Jackie said with a smile and grabbed hold of Red's arm. "Just make sure I don't fall."
Jackie and Red made their way down the stairs and to the backyard. They rounded the corner and the first thing that caught Jackie's eye was of course Hyde. He was actually standing there at the altar; he hadn't taken off. Jackie smiled at him, he shakily smiled back. They started their descend down the aisle. Jackie took that moment to take everything in. The bushes were covered in white roses. White chairs were lined up on either side and the seats were completely filled. The guests stood to watch her. Jackie loved everyone staring at her for a good reason. The sunset had the lights bouncing off Jackie's dress, making it look like she was sparkling. The arch was covered in white roses. Donna was in her black dress and Eric in his black suit. Jackie had decided on simple. Black and white. Jackie got closer and closer to Hyde. Hyde had his glasses off and it looked like Eric was telling him to breath consistently.
Oh, my gosh this is really happening. Jackie is in a white dress and veil and not in a shopping mall. She looks amazing. I've never seen her look this beautiful before. She's always been beautiful but now it's radiating off her. Can I do this? Can I really marry Jackie? Kind of too late to try and back out now. Can I stay with one person for the rest of my life? With someone that beautiful I think so. Oh, my god she's here in front of me.
Hyde grabbed Jackie's hand. He stood there staring at her. "You look beautiful."
"So do you." Jackie replied with a wink and smile.
That seemed to calm down Hyde. The minister began but Hyde totally tuned out. That is until Jackie kicked him lightly in the shins. "Steven, it's your turn for the vows." Jackie mumbled under her breath.
Hyde coughed a bit, "Yea umm… Jackie we never really were friends. We were enemies. We hated each other…" Jackie was giving him a crazed look but he continued. "Then one day I figured out that I was actually into you. I think I always knew I loved you. It just took a lot of pushing and pulling to get me to admit it. Now we are here vowing to spend the rest of our lives together and you look beautiful. I vow to love you on your good days and your bad."
Jackie's eyes watered. She knew he made that up on the spot but she didn't care it was the sincerest most beautiful thing he's ever said to her. They exchanged rings then the minister said, "By the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You can now kiss the bride."
Hyde grabbed hold of Jackie, dipped her and placed a very sensual kiss on Jackie's lips. They stood up. "I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Hyde." Minister said. The music started and they walked down the aisle followed by Donna and Eric.
The next half an hour was spent taking pictures in front of the arch with Jackie and Hyde. Guests had convened in the Foreman's living room while staff members flipped the ceremony into a reception. Moving chairs and adding tables, table cloths, centerpieces and a dance floor. The DJ continued to play music through all the movements.
The guests all moved back out to the yard. "The bride and the groom will now have their first dance." The DJ announced and then played their song.
Jackie had given Hyde full permission to pick their dance song. Hyde had stressed about it for weeks. Hyde scooped up Jackie and pulled her to the dance floor. Elton John's, Tiny Dancer started blaring through the speakers.
"Steven! Elton John?" Jackie asked with the biggest smile plastered on her face.
"Yea man. You love him and this song… well it's not too bad, reminds me of you." Hyde replied with a grin. Jackie placed her head on Hyde's chest and they swayed to the music.
The rest of the night was filled with laughter, fun, food, talking and dancing. The whole reception was a blur and it went by way too fast.
Jackie and Hyde took off in Hyde's decorated El Camino as the guests waved good bye. They arrived back at their apartment. They got to the ledge and before Jackie knew what was happening Hyde scooped her up.
"What are you doing puddin pop?" Jackie asked with a google.
"I'm caring my wife over the threshold." Hyde replied. He kicked open the door and carried her into the living room and plopped her down on the couch.
"So Mrs. Hyde was it everything you dreamed of?" Hyde asked.
"Mrs. Hyde. I like that." Jackie said looking up at Hyde. "It was everything and more."
"Good." Hyde said as he sat down beside his wife. "So I have a surprise for you."
"A surprise?" Jackie said giving him an eye.
"I know, I know you don't like surprises but I think you'll like this one." Hyde reached into his inside suit pocket and pulled out two tickets and handed them over to Jackie.
"Two tickets to Bermuda!?" Jackie said jumping up with excitement.
"Well you spent next to nothing on the wedding so I splurged on our honeymoon." Hyde said with a smile.
"I thought we weren't going on a honeymoon?" Jackie asked.
"Well we are now." Hyde replied.
"Wait! I need to tell my j- "Jackie began but was cut off. "I already called and told your boss you were going on your honeymoon for the next 2 weeks."
Jackie threw her arms around Hyde. They stayed like that for a while, then Jackie pulled back. Jackie still had her hands on Hyde's shoulders but she was looking down.
"What's wrong doll?" Hyde asked with a concerned look.
"Nothing." Jackie said then biting her lip.
"Jackie?" Hyde said in a strong tone of voice.
"Okay." Jackie said pulling away. "I need to tell you something and I'm not sure how you are going to react."
Hyde just stared at her.
Jackie began. "I'm really excited about the honeymoon but I won't be able to partake in any grown up beverages or smoke. Actually, I won't be able to partake for the next 9 months."
Hyde couldn't breathe for a minute but it hadn't been fully confirmed. Jackie pulled off his glasses and looked him dead in the eye.
"Steven I'm pregnant."
