All three ladies turned to see Fez coming thru the door. "It is I, Fez!" Fez saw Jackie and shouted "Goddess, you look more beautiful than ever!"
Eric heard Fez and headed for the kitchen.
Jackie said "Thank you Fez."
Eric walked in and directly over to Jackie and spun her around and gave her the same knock your socks off kiss she had first received from him. Jackie had to wrap her arms around his neck not fall to the floor as her knees went completely weak.
Red walked through the door at that moment. "Damnit stop doing that in here! I have to eat here!"
"Sorry Dad!" Jackie tried out "Eric started it."
"Loud one, that's because he isn't a complete dumbass. He just picks the wrong room to do that in. No calling me Dad yet either. It's going to take me time to adjust to that idea."
With that Red left and Fez was standing there with his mouth on the floor. He was pointing at Eric and Jackie and trying to talk. His mouth started moving but no words came out. Brooke decided to be funny and said "What is it boy?"
Jackie had to giggle at that. Eric waited for Fez to speak. "Eric that was the most romantic kiss Fez has ever seen. You did not do that with Donna."
"That's because he was meant for me!" Jackie said with sly grin on her face.
Eric had to laugh at Jackie teasing him. He said "Come on Fez let's take Red a beer and go see Kelso."
Eric and Fez walked back into the living room and Eric handed Red a beer and said "Here Dad!"
"Eric I should have sent you to Africa years ago if I had known you would grow up this much."
Kelso saw the beer and asked where his was. Betsy said "Dad no beer! We are having a tea party!"
Fez ran over and sat down. "I want to have a tea party too!" Fez stated, he could be a little too girl sometimes.
Red looked at Eric who shrugged and sat down to watch the Packers game with his dad. Kitty sent Brooke and Jackie with the food for the table. Eric and Red were both yelling at the TV together. Male bonding Jackie guessed. Finally Jackie summoned the duo to the table.
After a delicious dinner, Eric helped carry the dishes to the kitchen. Red grabbed Eric and said "Son come to the garage with me."
When they reached the garage, Red said "Eric, your mom and I are going to sell the house and get something smaller. We need to downsize. We don't have a big family anymore. Talk to Jackie and if you guys want to buy it, we will work out a deal."
Eric was shocked. He knew his parents were getting older but he never expected them to sell the family home. He already wanted to buy it and renovate it to update it out of late 60s and early 70s.
"I will Dad but I can already pretty much tell you we will buy it. Jackie has most of her best memories here. I know mom would love for another generation to grow up here."
Red nodded and headed back to the house. Eric sat there thinking about raising his family here. The basement was definitely getting a makeover. His thoughts were interrupted by Jackie kissing him. He would never get tired of that. "Hey beautiful!"
"What did your dad want that had you in such deep thought?"
"He and mom are going to down size. They offered to sell us the house and work out a deal as he called it."
"Really? Oh Eric we have to buy this house. It was more my home than my parents' house ever was. The basement is getting done first. I know we had a lot of memories there but so much bad happened there too!"
"Hey breathe a little My Midget!" Eric said "I already was thinking that. Maybe move the laundry upstairs to the second floor. No hauling laundry up two flights of stairs."
"Eric I like the way you think, My Nerd boy!"
