CH-20-Wedding Jitters and the House of God
It was a week before the wedding and Eric had come home. Everyone was getting ready for both the wedding and Christmas and Mrs. Foreman was completely on the edge.
KF: Oh there is just so much to do!
E: Mom will you calm down?
KF: Calm down! Calm down!? ERIC! Christmas is in a week and while I'm happy that Jackie and Steven are getting married…did they really feel it necessary to get married on the same day as baby freakin Jesus's birthday!
E: Ok…everyone back away from my Mom…
H: Hey has anyone seen Jackie?
D: She was in a weird mood this morning. She was so jumpy.
H: Is everything ok?
D: I'm not sure…
H: Maybe I should go talk to her.
Hyde made his way out the slider door going towards Donna's but he didn't know that Jackie was sitting in the basement. Eric walked down the stairs and noticed a nervous looking Jackie.
E: Hey. Hyde just went to see you.
J: Oh…he did?
E: Yeah…you ok?
J: I'm fine.
E: I don't buy it. What's on your mind Jackie?
Eric sat down next to Jackie and looked at her sweetly.
J: I just…I mean…this is right, isn't it?
E: What do you mean you and Hyde?
J: Yeah. I mean he really loves me doesn't he?
E: Yeah Jackie he really does. I never thought he really did but he does. I can tell.
J: I mean I feel like he loves me, but…I don't know. I guess I'm just being stupid.
E: No your not. It's called pre wedding jitters. I had them…
J: Great! You ran off! So what if Steven does that too!
Jackie jumped up in a fury of tears and rage.
E: Jackie…Hyde isn't going to do that. I wasn't ready to marry Donna. I was to young, we were both to young. I didn't know what I want. But you and Hyde are in a good place and I know that he loves you. He wants this. He wants you.
J: Yeah but…
E: And you want this too right?
J: Yeah…I do…I have for a long time.
E: Ok then. You have nothing to worry about. Hyde's not going anywhere.
H: Where would I be going?
Jackie jumped when she heard Hyde's voice. She turned around and saw him standing by the door with a confused look on his face.
J: Steven…
E: I'm just going to leave you two lovebirds alone.
Jackie turned back to Eric nervously and he just smiled at her and motioned to her to talk to Hyde. Before she could turn around, she felt Hyde's hands on her hips spinning her to look at him. He kissed her passionately on the lips and then looked down at her flustered and confused face.
H: Now…tell me Jackie. Where would I be going?
J: No where…I just…I guess I'm having Pre Wedding Jitters.
H: You? You love weddings.
J: I know…I just…your not gonna pull an Eric are you?
H: Of course not.
J: Ok then.
H: Jackie are you having second thoughts?
J: No! No! Never! I guess I just was scared a little…but I'm ok now. Eric and I had a good talk.
H: You and Eric had a good talk?
J: Yes.
H: Ok who are you and what have you done with my Jackie?
She giggled slightly and wrapped her arms around his waist and held him tightly.
J: Can you believe that in one week, we'll be married?
H: Yeah and we'll finally get to have sex again!
Jackie pulled back with a furious glare on her face and Hyde's smirk was replaced with a frown realizing he had said the wrong thing…again…
J: Steven! Is that all you care about? SEX!?
H: No baby…I mean I'm excited for that cuz I've missed you these past couple of months. But I'm also excited because it means it's the beginning of the rest of our lives together as husband and wife.
She smiled and stood on her tip toes kissing him sweetly.
J: Good.
H: Good. Now…I uh…I talked to my Dad about lending us so money for a house…
J: You did!?
H: Yeah…and he said that he had already bought us one that he was going to give us as our gift at the wedding.
J: Oh my God!
H: Yeah I know. I pretty much said the same thing. So he wants us to go see it tomorrow afternoon when I get out of work.
J: Steven that's amazing! I so love your Dad now!
He laughed.
H: I know me too.
KF: Steven! Jackie!
Kitty came running down the stairs stopping next to them practically out of breathe.
H: What's wrong Mrs. Foreman?
KF: We need to talk about you not getting married in a church! When exactly were you going to tell me that!?
H: Uh oh…
J: Did Eric tell you that?
KF: No…the foreign one that married Laurie.
H: Damn Fez.
J: Ok…well you see Mrs Foreman Hyde and I aren't really all that religious…
H: Yeah so we figured it would be best if we didn't get married in a church.
KF: Oh. Well isn't that just swell! When were you going to tell me!
J: On the day of the wedding?
KF: Steven!
H: Look Mrs. Foreman…we were just afraid of how you would react so…we decided not to tell you just yet. Were sorry.
KF: Fine…then where are you getting married? And if you say something like the Hub, or Mt. Hump! I'll kill you both.
H: Well we were thinking here…
KF: OH well you know what! Wait…here…here as in my house?
J: Yeah…
KF: Oh well that is just the sweetest thing I have ever heard!
H: Really? I mean…yeah we thought you'd see it that way.
KF: Well theres so much to do! I need to clean! You'll be using the family room right?
J: Yes.
KF: How will that fit everyone?
H: Well we didn't invite many people…actually its just Eric, you and Mr. Foreman, Donna, Kelso, Brooke, Betsy, Fez, Leo, Bob, and My Dad.
KF: Your not inviting your mother Jackie?
J: I did…but she said she can't make it so…
KF: Oh…well I'm sorry. She is going to miss a wonderful wedding.
Jackie smiled and nodded her head trying to keep the tears in as Hyde placed an arm around her lovingly.
KF: I'm going to go upstairs and make sure everything is in tip top shape!
Jackie and Hyde smiled as Kitty ran up the stairs. Hyde turned back to Jackie and smiled back at her.
H: Yeah I can't believe your mom isn't coming.
J: Whatever. She'd probably ruin the Wedding anyway. I just want all the people I love and who love me back to be there.
H: And they will all be there.
J: I know…
H: Hey Jacks?
J: Yeah?
H: I love you.
Jackie smiled and leaned in to kiss him again.
J: I love you too.
Hyde and Jackie sat down on the couch together watching TV, both anxiously awaiting the day of their wedding.
