Hyde was determined to turn his life around. Kitty drove him to the church, she was confused why he wanted to go to a church. Kitty helped him into the church. The padre saw Steven and quickly made his way over. "Steven, what on earth happened to you?"

"Hey padre, I don't know really how this happened but I had a big setback in my work. My birth father and half-sister were killed in a car wreck. It's been a horrible month. Oh before I get this is my adopted mother Kitty Forman. Mom this is the padre. He is helping me with my anger issues."

The padre and Kitty greeted each other. Kitty slipped away to let them talk.

The padre was impressed with Steven's resolve. He really wanted to spend the as much time as possible fixing his anger issues. The padre suggested a few things he could do to as relaxation techniques. Counting to ten slowly or punching a pillow. Until he healed it would help.

Steven and the Padre agreed to meet daily and talk. Steven felt like the padre understood him. Kitty enjoyed helping Steven however she could. Kitty liked feeling needed and she hadn't had that much lately. Eric and Jackie were out of the country and her other basement babies had scattered. She missed having all them around.

After their trips to the church, Kitty would make Steven go with her to have lunch with Red. Red didn't mind eating with Steven as long as Kitty came. It broke up his day nicely.

Hyde and Kitty got a surprise when they returned from Red's. Samantha, Steven's wife (not really but best way to describe her), was waiting for them. She was about six months pregnant. She didn't want to keep the baby but was giving Steven a chance to claim his child.

Hyde was shocked. Did he want to be a father? Should he try to convince Samantha to help him raise the child?

Kitty was excited that she was going to be a grandma, well somewhat. Steven needed his own place because a basement was no place for a baby and Red would not want a new born in the house. Kitty decided to help him look. She knew what he needed. Samantha could stay with him until the baby came.

Samantha didn't really want to be back in Wisconsin. It was too cold for her and she couldn't strip anymore. Kitty helped Steven find a good three bedroom apartment. Steven and Kitty didn't mention anything about Hyde inheriting WB's money. They wanted her gone as quickly as she could be.

While Steven was still recovering from his injuries. Laurie Forman came back to town. She knew about Hyde's money and wanted to get it. She had ditched her last boyfriend when he lost his job. Hyde was the best all-around of Eric's friends. Kelso was a pretty face but nothing more. How was she going to get in his money? Her mother provided the answer, Steven needed help getting around but Kitty had other things to do than drive him everywhere.

Laurie Forman arrived at Steven's to be greeted by Sam. A very pregnant Sam. Laurie bit her lip and didn't say anything. Hyde greeted her with "Slut!"

"Orphan" was Laurie's reply.

Laurie drove Steven around and treated him nicer than anyone other than Kitty had. Steven looked at Laurie and thought "Eh, I could worse!"

Laurie and Hyde began hanging out other than her driving him around. They started building a friendship. Laurie was surprised at the new Hyde. He was less bitter and generally nicer to everyone. Kitty had taken notice of how her daughter and her adopted son had grown closer. They were getting to be real friends.

After Hyde didn't need Laurie to drive him around anymore they still spent a lot of time together. HE had gotten used to her being there. It was weird that Laurie (the spawn of Satan) had weaseled her way into Hyde's life. Hyde had always thought she was hot but she was too much of a bitch to be worth doing anything. The new Laurie was nicer. They were parked in front of the Forman's house Hyde had picked Laurie up that day and they were getting baby things since Sam was due in a month. Laurie had agreed to move in with Hyde when the baby was born and help him. Hyde decided to try something and kissed Laurie.

Laurie felt like she had been shocked by electricity. She had never gotten a kiss like that before. She kissed Hyde back and said "We need more of this!"

Hyde took it as a sign and took Laurie to Mount Hump. Laurie didn't argue with him at all. They began kissing and groping each other. Hyde tried to take Laurie's clothes off but she smacked his hand and said "Not yet! I want to be romanced Steven."

Hyde smiled. It wasn't a no, he knew they both had changed for the better. He had tried taking her clothes off as a test to see if she had really changed. She had passed. He took her home and promised to call her.

Kitty could see how her daughter had changed. She was definitely less bitchy which kitty liked. Laurie had even asked her to teach her to cook. That had never happened before.

As the months went by Hyde and Laurie had lots of dates and grew closer. Sam was pain in their ass. Whenever Sam saw them together she was needed something. Finally on December 7, 1980 Sam's water broke. Sam delivered a baby girl weighing six pound and 5 ounces. Sam refused to hold the baby and as soon as she could checked out of the hospital having signed her baby over to Hyde. Hyde was holding his baby Katherine Isabell Hyde, when Kitty came in. Kitty was thrilled there was a new baby in the family and that Hyde had nicknamed his daughter Kitty after her grandma. Red was hard to read as usual but loved holding the baby. Red was still uneasy about his baby girl, Laurie, moving in with a man. Kitty had convinced him that Steven needed a woman to help him take care of the baby and Laurie was going to be the nanny while Steven worked.
