Chapter 12: Don't we kind of hate each other?

Jackie walked around her little apartment picking up little odds and ends as she went along. She'd just gotten Steve to fall asleep, in his father's hit no less. She smiled to herself as she walked into her room and pulled out her very own Steven shirt. Once she was settled in bed she picked up the phone and dialed a number she'd memorized from the moment he'd told her it.

"Hello."

"Hey baby."

"Hi Jackie, is he all tucked in?"

"Yeah, he's wearing the shirt from you. He really missed you Steven."

"I know and I miss him too."

"Steven…"

"Yeah doll."

"I miss you."

"Oh baby, you have no idea how much I miss you right now."

"Two more days."

"Yep, two more days, oh hold on a second."

"Hey Hyde sorry to interrupt, but I need you to sign a few things."

"Okay Randy I'll be there in a second." Hyde said as he picked the phone back up.

"You have to go." Jackie said quietly.

"Yes, but I'll call you tomorrow."

"Okay, I love you."

"I love you too." Hyde said before he hung up and went out to help Randy. Jackie turned off the light and lay back as she thought of a certain Zen master.

"So how's the little woman?" Randy asked as Hyde walked out of the office.

"Shut up. So what do I need to sign?" Randy handed Hyde the papers and continued to stare at him. "What?"

"Becca called."

"What?" Hyde said as he finished signing the papers.

"She wanted to know if you'd changed your mind since she hasn't heard from you."

"Damn, I forgot all about her."

"Figured, anyway she said she'll be at Stanley's tonight if you want to meet up and talk."

"Fine…Damn it."

"You really forgot."

"Yeah," Hyde said as he handed Randy the papers, "I'm going to go meet her."

"Okay boss."

Hyde nodded as he walked out.

Jackie stared at the ceiling contemplating on whether or not to call Hyde back since sleep was obviously not going to happen. Finally giving in she picked up the phone.

"Grooves this is Randy speaking how can I help you?"

"Hey Randy its Jackie is Steven around?"

"Actually he isn't."

"Oh did he go to the hotel?"

"Um Actually Jackie he went out. He said he had some unfinished business he had to take care of."

"Oh…okay thanks Randy." Jackie hung up the phone and lay back again. "Steven what are you up to."

Hyde walked into the bar and looked around until he spotted the familiar looking brunette at the bar. "Hey Becca."

Becca turned around and smiled at Hyde. "Hey stranger I didn't think you'd show."

Hyde sat next to her and ordered a beer. "Well I did."

"How was the wedding?"

"Good actually." Hyde said as he paid the man for his drink then turned back towards Becca.

"Did she show?"

"Becca…listen when I left I had every intention of returning and making whatever you call what we had into something. But Jackie…god Becca she gave me a son."

"What?"

Hyde looked over at the woman he'd learned to trust over the past 6 months he'd known her and decided to tell her everything.

"Wow." Becca said once he was done.

"It's a lot to take in I know, but god she's…she's Jackie."

"I'm proud of you."

"Huh?"

"It would have been so easy for you to ignore them and come back here. But you're not. You're going to own up to it. You're a good man Hyde. They're lucky to have you. All I want to know is what you're still doing here."

"What?"

"Go to Chicago Hyde. Like you said everything at the store is done you're just waiting to make sure…you can do that there…just go."

Hyde nodded as Becca leaned over and kissed his cheek. "I'll miss you tough guy. Good luck." She said before she got up to leave.

"Becca," Hyde said.

"Yeah,"

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. Oh hey is that Randy guy that works at the store single?" Hyde nodded as Becca winked and left.

Jackie closed the cab door then took Steve's hand as they walked the stairs to their small apartment. Jackie unlocked and opened the door. "Whoa." Steve said as Jackie looked up and saw her apartment was filled with white and red roses, and at the center of it all was Hyde.

"Steven." Jackie said as she set everything down and closed the door. "You're back. Did you do this?"

"Yeah, but I had a little help."

Jackie looked around the room in awe as Steve ran over to Hyde. "Hey little man." Hyde said as he picked him up.

"Daddy I missed you." Steve said as he threw his arms around Hyde. "I missed you too." Hyde smiled at Steve then set him down. "Can you go in the other room while I talk to your mom?" Steve nodded and ran away.

"Jacks," Hyde said as she walked towards him.

"Steven, where on earth did you get the idea to do this?"

"I'll tell you later."

"Steven I don't…"

"Shh Listen you know I'm not an emotional person. I'm kind of cold, but you love me anyway and while yes I've changed. I'm still me. So uh…keeping with the me tradition. I'm going to do this." Hyde slowly got down on one knee and took Jackie's hand in his. "Jacqueline Burkhart will you marry me?"
