Eric and Jackie slept late the next day. Jackie was excited, Eric had promised to take her sightseeing today before they left tomorrow to start their trip home. She wasn't certain how that was happening yet but none the less was looking forward to it. Jackie decided to wake Eric. Eric was awoken by Jackie waking another piece of his body.

Eric kept his eyes close. He was curious how far she would go to wake him. Jackie was undeterred by Eric remaining asleep. Jackie had fully awoken the body part she was working on. She decided it was a waste for it be awake but not used. Jackie mounted Eric and put him inside her. Eric did his best not to respond. Jackie knew by now Eric wasn't asleep. She kissed him and said "open your eyes or this is the last time you get to awoken like this."

Eric opened his eyes and rolled her on to her back. Jackie was loving every minute of what Eric was doing to her. If someone had said that she and Eric would be a couple two years ago then she would have laughed at them. However now, Jackie couldn't imagine her life without Eric. Jackie reached her climax and it was so good she screamed "ERIC GOD!"

Eric had never felt more like a man than that day. Jackie insisted on some sexy shower time. Once they were dressed and out the door, Jackie stayed close to him. She loved the feeling of Eric holding her hand or having his arm around her shoulder. It let her get away with staring at her ring. She wondered how she had gotten so lucky.

Eric and Jackie went to the Statue of Liberty first. Eric was very much his mother's son with a camera ready to go. He took lots of pictures of Lady Liberty but always made sure Jackie was in the frame. Eric found someone to take his and Jackie's picture. They didn't have many with both of them in the picture and he had decided it was time to change that.

The Empire State building was next. Jackie was amazed by the skyline but was starting to get more homesick than ever. She loved visiting New York City but she was eager to get back to Point Place. Africa hadn't affected her like this because it wasn't as built up and still had the small town feeling. They spent the rest of the day seeing the sites of New York and then Eric told Jackie that he had bought a car and they would be leaving the next day to begin their trip home. One day at Cooperstown, One day at Canton, Ohio with driving it would be five days then they would be back in Point Place. Jackie wanted to tell him no to either of the stops but she knew it was for Red. Eric was trying to get Red on his good side since they hadn't told him they were dating or back in the country. Boy was Kitty in for a shock when she found out her baby was getting married.

Thankfully for both Eric and Jackie, her morning sickness seemed to be a bare minimum or had none at all. Jackie was very thankful for that. Jackie was surprised to see the car Eric had picked. She expected a horrible car but was pleasantly surprised by his choice.

Their drive was peaceful and relaxing since they didn't have a time table per say to anywhere. Jackie didn't want to drive which was ok by Eric since he enjoyed driving. Their little side trips were great. Jackie learned more about Eric's sports fan side. He never showed it but he was a big sports fan. Jackie was enjoying posing for pictures for Eric, she wasn't the same teenage girl she had been when they met but she still enjoyed feeling pretty and having her picture taken.

The morning of the last leg arrived. Jackie and Eric were both nervous. Not about their feelings for each other but how everyone would take them being together. They discussed this at length since the radio kept cutting out. They decided that Hyde and Donna would be angry because well that's what they did best. The Kelso's would take it best because they were happy with each other. Brooke more so than Michael, since Michael had dated Jackie.

Red and Kitty would be shocked that they were getting married. Kitty knew they were dating but did Red know. If he didn't know, they decided Eric would be threatened with a foot in the ass and Jackie would be told she could do better than that dumbass. Jackie knew he was would be wrong.

Fez's reaction would be the best. Fez would be upset that they kept a secret from him. He would mad that he didn't get a chance with Jackie but happy that they found love together. He would want to hear all about Africa and how they got together.

About that time they crossed the Wisconsin border. An hour to Forman's and seeing their friends and family. How had everyone changed? Was everyone still around? They didn't know all of those questions.

Next came the sign welcoming them to Point Place! Home! Now their nerves were starting to get to them. For Eric he had been gone 18 months and Jackie had been gone a year. Their anxiety grew with each turn and each street. The Forman driveway sat in front of them. Eric almost couldn't make the turn. He turned to Jackie and said "Ready?"

All she could was nod. He pulled into the driveway and they saw the Vista Cruiser still sitting there. The hood was up. Red heard a car pull in the driveway and slide out from under the Vista Cruiser. He wanted to keep it running for Eric when he got back. He saw this Camaro pull in the driveway and wonder what dumbass had gotten lost.
