CH-15-Decisions

It was around midnight and Jackie was still sitting and waiting for Hyde to come over to talk to her. She took the last sip of her wine and sighed, she was about to get up to go to bed figuring that Hyde wasn't coming. But then Bob walked into the kitchen humming a song. He smiled when he saw her.

B: Well hey there kiddo. What are you still doing up?

J: Hi Bob…um…couldn't sleep.

B: Oh yeah me either. And you know me when I can't sleep…I eat!

He walked over to the fridge and took out some ice cream and two bowls. Jackie watched as he scooped some ice cream into the bowls and got two spoons. He walked over to her and sat down and handed her the bowl.

J: Thanks.

B: No problem. So what's on your mind kiddo? Donna told me about you and Hyde.

J: I figured she would.

B: Don't be mad at her…she was just worried about you.

J: Yeah…well…he hasn't showed up yet to talk like he promised so I can pretty much figure out that he doesn't want me.

B: Oh you have to give him the benefit of the doubt Jackie. This is a big decision…he probably just needs some ti-

J: Time to think. I know I know…I just hate waiting. Bob…um…I don' know if this is crossing the line for asking but…how did you know Midge was the one?

B: (He smiled at her) She made me happy. Very, very happy. I couldn't go a day without seeing her, or kissing her. Or just holding her hand. When she left the room I missed her and when she was mad I knew I had to do everything I could to make her smile again because I loved her.

J: (She smiled) That's how I feel about Steven.

B: I know you do. I can tell. The way Hyde looks at you is the way I used to look at my Midgey. And even though things didn't work out between her and I…I wouldn't trade those years for anything. I got Donna from that marriage and I love her more than anything in this world.

J: (She smiled) You'll find someone else Bob…and I'm sorry about the way my Mom treated you before. You didn't deserve that. You've done so much for me…seriously I owe you so much.

B: Oh don't worry about it kiddo…I love having you around. I always wanted another kid after Donna…and I got one. You.

J: (She smiled at him and took his hand) Thank you Bob.

B: Anytime Kiddo.

The kitchen door opened slightly and Hyde appeared in the doorway. Jackie turned to look at him and her heart started to pound. He looked nervous. She looked back at Bob who squeezed her hand gently.

B: Well…I think I'll just take my ice cream to bed. See you in the morning kiddo. (He kissed her head) Goodnight.

J: Night Bob.

Bob nodded at Hyde who nodded back and then exited the room, Jackie got up and put her ice cream bowl on the counter and then turned back to Hyde.

J: Hey…

H: Hey…Uh…sorry it's so late. I just…I uh…

J: It's fine…uh…do you want to sit?

H: Sure…that's a good idea.

Hyde slowly sat down in a chair at the table and waited for Jackie to join him. She sat across from him and placed her hands on the table. Slowly, he reached across and rubbed her knuckles with his thumb. She smiled, she always loved when he did that. She didn't say anything…she just waited and it made him happy. He raised his eyes to her and saw such love and adoration there…but he also saw fear. Fear of a broken heart. He took a deep breathe and reached up to take his sunglasses off.

H: Look…I just…this was hard for me. I'm not going to pretend it wasn't…and I thought a lot about everything that we've been through since we've been together. And I realized, that its been one hell of a journey with you Jackie.

She laughed slightly and just looked at him, not wanting to interrupt him. He took a deep breathe again and held her hand tighter.

H: Jackie I don't want to loose you. I don't…but at the same time I know that this is such a great opportunity for you. I know that it would be great for you to have that chance and experience. But…I can't let you go Jackie. I can't let you leave because I need you so badly. I hate to admit that because I'm supposed to be Steven Hyde the no emotions burnout from Point Place. But I need you. I love you. I want you to stay here.

She started to cry slightly and he scooted his char closer.

H: After everything we've been through, I don't want it just to end like this. I want to be with you Jackie. Forever. I just hope that ten years from now, you won't regret not going to Chicago for this job.

J: I won't.

H: Are you sure?

J: Yes Steven I want to be with you.

H: Alright…

Slowly, he got up off his chair and stood right in front of her. She stared up at him with a huge smile on her face and waited for what was to come. Hyde slowly but surely got down on one knee, he took her hand in his and kissed it.

H: Jackie Burkhart…will you marry me?

J: (She threw her head back and laughed in pure joy) Yes! Yes Steven of course I'll marry you!

He grabbed her face in his hands and kissed her so hard on the lips. Tears welled up in his eyes and she wiped them away as he wiped hers away.

H: Oh crap I almost forgot.

He reached in his pocket and took out a small old looking black velvet box. He opened it slowly to reveal a huge diamond ring.

J: Oh my god…

H: I uh…I wasn't sure if you would like it…but I've had it since I was six.

J: What?

H: It was my grandmothers. My parents were always fighting and she would always come by to check up on me. I loved her so much. She died when I was six, and the last time I saw her, she gave me this ring. She and my grandfather were married for fifty one years. She said that one day, I would meet a beautiful girl who I would want to spend the rest of my life with and I had to give her this ring. If you don't like it, I'll buy a new one.

J: Oh don't you dare Steven! I love it! And I would be honored to wear your grandmother's ring!

H: Good.

He slipped the ring on her finger and it fit perfectly. Jackie admired at and then stared up at him and pulled his face towards her to kiss him hard on the lips. They were interrupted by someone crying form the door.

B: Aww gee…that was just the sweetest thing I have ever seen.

J: Oh Bob…

B: Aww gee…I'm sorry for ruining the moment.

H: (He put his arm around her shoulder) Naw its ok Bob. Just don't tell anyone quite yet ok? I want us to tell them together.

B: Oh alright…I won't. Your secret is safe with me. I'm just gonna go upstairs now. Enjoy your moment…and if your not here tomorrow morning Jackie…I won't get mad. So woohoo!

Bob left and Jackie started laughing through tears. She turned back to Hyde and kissed him again.

J: Oh baby…I was so afraid I was going to loose you again.

H: Never.

J: (She smiled and stroked his cheek) I love you.

H: I love you too.

They kissed again before Hyde shifted uncomfortably.

J: Baby?

H: Yeah sorry…my knees are killing me on the floor.

Jackie laughed and pulled him up to a standing position and pulled him to her to hold him tightly.

J: Lets go back to the Foreman's. I want to be alone.

Jackie and Hyde practically ran to the basement, when they got to Hyde's room they ripped each other's cloths off and laid on the bed. Hyde stared down at her loving the sparkle in her eyes. He had never seen her so happy and he knew that he had made the right choice. He leaned down and captured her mouth in a searing kiss.

J: Oh Steven…

H: You are so beautiful. I can't believe your going to be my wife.

She sighed when she felt his lips attach to her neck. They kissed each other in every place they knew was pleasurable and Hyde slowly slid into her. She moaned out his name through tears of happiness. At their slow and steady rhythm they could enjoy the closeness and the moment they were sharing. They knew that this was the beginning of the rest of their lives.

J: Steven…

H: I love you so much…

She clung to his back bringing him closer, burying her face in his neck biting down on it gently. She bit down on his ear lobe and whispered…

J: I love you too…

Their breathe was ragged and hot and Hyde pushed away from her to bring her up to a sitting position. He wrapped her legs around him and pushed her up a bit before sliding her back on to him. She sighed and threw her head back…

J: Oh God…

Hyde's hands slid down her sweaty back and grabbed her butt pulling her closer to him. From this angle he was hitting all the right spots and Jackie was clinging to him again in pure pleasure. She moaned his name over and over again, she wrapped her legs around him tighter and pulled his face towards her locking lips with him. He moaned into her mouth as he felt her scratch down his back, he knew she was leaving red marks but he didn't care.

H: Jackie…

J: Steven…

H: Jackie I can't…

J: God let go baby…I'm right with you.

Hyde captured her mouth in another kiss and held her hips tightly. He stared up at her wanting to watch her as she came. She smirked down at him and put her fingers in his hair tugging slightly as she felt her orgasm approaching. With one more thrust, Jackie threw her head back and practically screamed his name out through tears and Hyde placed kisses all up and down the hollow of her throat whispering her name over and over again as he came too. Afterwards he moved them so he was lying beside her both staring at the ceiling. Jackie looked over at him for a moment and he looked back at her. He saw tears in her eyes and he moved to his side to wipe them away.

H: Why are you crying?

J: Were getting married…

H: (He smiled knowingly) I know…

J: No. You and me. Steven Hyde and Jackie Burkhart, are getting married.

H: (He leaned over her) I know…(He began kissing her neck again) Your happy right?

J: Steven! Of course I'm happy!

H: (He looked up at her again) Good.

She stroked his cheek lightly and kissed him sweetly.

H: You know I'm going to take care of you right?

J: I know baby.

H: I mean I'll get more hours at the store and we'll get a house, everything is going to be perfect. Just you and me forever.

J: (She smiled and started to cry again making him laugh) I'm sorry!

H: No its cute.

J: Its just…I never thought that you would love me like this. I wished and prayed you would but…now its really happening.

H: Yep…you got me wrapped around your little finger woman. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

J: Mrs. Jackie Hyde. Has a nice ring to it doesn't it?

H: Sure does.

J: So…can I make love to my fiancé again?

H: Oh hell yeah!

She smiled and pulled him to her and they began kissing…and well you know what happened next. :)
