Chapter Four: So this is the talk

Jackie walked a little closer till she realized who it was. "Steven?" Jackie said as she walked up next to him.

He looked up at her then back down at the ground. "Hey."

"What are you doing out here?"

"What's it look like."

Jackie wanted to smack him for his snippy tone but decided against it. "Whatever."

She said as she sat down next to him then looked around. "Where's your car?"

"I walked here."

"Oh…Listen Steven I hate to disturb your mood there your highness, but we should talk."

"Whatever." Hyde said as he stared ahead.

"Steven I should have told you that night you came to Chicago."

Hyde looked at her. "You know that night?"

"No I just had a gut feeling."

Hyde stared at her as he tried to figure out how to tell her his secret. "Jackie I think I knew that you were pregnant."

"What?"

"You remember the last night we spent together?"

"Yeah I do."

"That's when I knew…well sort of knew."

1979- Jackie's House

Hyde sat up as he heard Jackie close the door behind her. He was glad they'd opted to sleep at her folk's house because with the amount of bathroom visits she was making they'd have gotten caught. Hyde was a little worried so he got up and walked out the door to the bathroom. He listened carefully as he heard his girlfriend throw up everything she'd eaten. Hyde sighed as he ran his hand through his hair. He didn't know what was wrong, but he had a feeling that he was the only one who could help her. So he leaned against the wall and waited till she came out.

Jackie opened the door and was surprised to see him standing there. "Steven what are you doing up?"

"I heard you get up. Are you okay doll?" Hyde said as he pulled her to him.

"Yeah I think it's just a stomach thing. It's no big deal."

"Whatever you say doll, lets go back to bed." Jackie nodded as Hyde led her back to her room as the same thought went through their minds. 'Are we pregnant?'

1982- Clearing

"I thought I hid it so well." Jackie said as she looked down.

"Why didn't you talk to me about it?" Hyde asked.

"I thought you'd be mad."

Hyde looked at Jackie then turned her face to meet his. "You didn't get that way alone Jackie. I was just as responsible."

Jackie felt a tear slide down her cheek as Hyde brushed it away with his thumb. "God Steven I was so scared." Jackie burst into tears as Hyde pulled her into his arms.

After a few minutes Jackie calmed down. "Steven."

"Yeah."

"If I had told you that night at the motel…would you have stayed?"

Hyde looked at the sky as he answered her. "I don't know. Part of me would have believed you, but that other half would have gone back to Point Place and waited."

"Why?"

"I would have waited because if you had told me in all honesty, and not as a way to trap me, you would have come back."

"Steven if you thought you knew…then why didn't you stick around to ask me?"

"My stupid pride…I was so mad about what I saw that I just couldn't take it. I had to get out. I guess after a while I just stopped thinking about it and got on with my life. It never occurred to me that you might have been pregnant. I just didn't want to feel the pain I felt that night again."

"I came back you know."

"Yeah Forman told me…Jacks."

"Yes Steven."

"I'm sorry…I never answered your calls or your letters."

"It's okay Steven."

"No it isn't. I just should have listened instead of just acting like a dumb ass about it."

"Awe Steven."

"Shut up."

"You're being sweet."

"Shut your pie hole Jackie."

Jackie smiled and got up. "Come on."

"Where are you going?"

"I want you to meet him." Jackie said as she pulled him up and they walked to her car.

Jackie opened the door and walked to the bed as Hyde followed her. "I'm going to go downstairs." Jackie said before she left.
Hyde watched her go then looked down at the sleeping 3 year old. Hyde couldn't believe how much the little guy looked like him. He had light brown curly hair and the same exact nose as him, but everything else about him was Jackie. Everything was Jackie…except his eyes. "Why didn't I notice before?" Hyde said as he sat on the bed. He let his head rest in his hands as a familiar feeling crept up inside of him. The feeling was so familiar to him…it was failure…complete and utter failure.

"Daddy?" Steve said as he sat up.

"Oh man your mom is going to kill me for waking you up."

"Are you my daddy?"

Hyde looked at the little guy as he nodded. "Yeah kid I'm your dad."

Steve got up and crawled into Hyde's arms. "I love you Daddy." Steve said as he wrapped his arms around Hyde.

Hyde couldn't believe his ears as he wrapped his arms around his son. "I love you too." He said as he felt a bit of his heart break.

Jackie shut off the T.V. as she heard Hyde enter the room. She looked up at him and was surprised to find tears in his eyes.

"Jackie I have a son. I have son who loves me." Jackie got up and pulled him into her arms as he cried. For the first time ever Jackie felt like she was seeing the real Steven Hyde.
