A/N: Again, Don't own, Don't get paid, Don't copy. You know the drill. Had to borrow a song from Jimmy Page & Robert Plant. Please let me know what you think of this…..

Chapter 13

Christmas Day

Hyde & Jackie's Wedding

Forman Living Room

LEO SUDDENLY STOPS PLAYING THE ORGAN, JUST AS BETSY REACHES THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS.

Leo:Hey, Hyde & Loud Girl are getting married. I wanna watch the love, man.

Fez:I have done that many times myself, Leo.

FEZ & LEO WALK AWAY FROM THE ORGAN; BOB GOES OVER TO THE TAPE RECORDER AND PRESSES PLAY. PACHABEL'S CANON IN D BEGINS.

BETSY TOSSES THE ROSE PETALS DOWN THE MAKESHIFT AISLE THAT ENDS NEAR THE STEREO AND THE DOORS TO THE KITCHEN.

HYDE, ERIC & PASTOR RON ENTER THROUGH THE KITCHEN DOORS JUST AS DONNA BEGINS COMING DOWN THE STAIRS, CARRYING A RED ROSE BOUQUET. ERIC SMILES BRIGHTLY AT DONNA, WHO IS BEAMING.

BOB CHANGES TAPES; THE WEDDING MARCH BEGINS

AS JACK & JACKIE COME DOWN THE STAIRS, AN AUDIBLE GASP CAN BE HEARD AMONG THE GUESTS. JACKIE IS POSITIVELY GLOWING AND IS CARRYING A LARGER BOUQUET OF WHITE ROSES. HYDE IS COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY WHEN HE SEES JACKIE.

Eric:(looking at Hyde) Hyde, buddy, you okay? (smirking)

Hyde:(still in awe) she's…she's…..

Eric:yep. (pats him on the shoulder)

JACK AND JACKIE ARRIVE AT THE END OF THE AISE; HYDE IS STILL STANDING THERE WITH HIS MOUTH OPEN AND IS JUST STARING AT JACKIE

Hyde:You are so beautiful

Jackie:Oh, Steven…..

Pastor Ron:Who gives this woman to be married to this man?

Jack:I do.

JACK KISSES JACKIE'S CHEEK AND TAKES JACKIE'S HAND AND PLACES IT IN HYDE'S.

Jackie:(smiling) You okay?

Hyde:I am now.

THEY TURN AND FACE PASTOR RON AS HE BEGINS THE WEDDING CEREMONY

CAMERA DISSOLVES AND SHOWS A NUMBER OF CLIPS OF JACKIE & HYDE THROUGHOUT THE EIGHT SEASONS, INCLUDING PROM, VETERANS DAY, VALENTINES DAY DANCE, CARRYING HER OUT OF THE BASEMENT AND LOCKING THE DOOR, CAMPING, GRADUATION, MAKING OUT IN THE BASEMENT AND EVENTUALLY HYDE PROPOSING TO JACKIE

Pastor Ron:I believe Hyde & Jackie have some words that they want to say to each other.

Jackie:(blinking back tears) Steven. We've come so far. Both of us. And look at us here today. In front of our family and friends. Getting married. I thought it mattered, when, where and how you proposed, according to my fantasy. But those were dreams of a child. The woman before you today knows what is real. Our love is real. Being together is real. You are the most important thing to me, and you always will be. We begin the rest of our lives today. Together. Building a life, a home, a family. Everything we've ever wanted, but never really had. That's the real dream. You and me. And our children. You've made my life complete. I hope that I can bring you as much happiness as you have given to me. I love you. Forever.

Hyde:Jackie…..This isn't my strong point, so I got this from a song. But I know I couldn't have said it any better if I had written this myself. (takes a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket)

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.
Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.
And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness...I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me

Hyde:(barely audible) I love you

Pastor Ron:After pledging their love to each other, and the exchanging of rings, by the authority invested in me, by the State of Wisconsin, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.

HYDE GENTLY GRABS JACKIE AND PLACES A DELICATE KISS ON HER LIPS, WHICH QUICKLY BECOMES PASSIONATE, WHILE EVERYONE APPLAUDS.

Red:Okay, we're not consummating this marriage in my living room.

EVERYONE LAUGHS AND STARTS TO CONGRATULATE MR & MRS HYDE

THE RECEPTION BEGINS IN FULL SWING. AFTER HYDE TAKES OFF JACKIE'S GARTER (WITH HIS TEETH) THE SINGLE MEN GATHER FOR THE GARTER TOSS, WITH ERIC IN THE MIDDLE. RIGHT BEFORE HYDE TOSSES IT, THEY ALL MOVE AWAY, SO HYDE SNAPS IT RIGHT IN ERIC'S FACE

WB.:(pulling Hyde & Jackie aside) Listen you two, I didn't know how to wrap this, so (hands them a card)

Hyde:(opens the card and is confused) I don't understand…

W.B.:That's my realtor's card. She's been instructed to show you whatever houses you two like and your present is….whatever meets your (pauses, looks at Hyde) okay, your wife's standards. With the baby coming, you two are going to have enough expenses. You don't need to be scrounging around saving for a down payment and you can't raise a baby in a basement. So, here you go.

Jackie:Oh my god…

Hyde:W.B., this is too much.

W.B.Nonsense. If anything, it's not enough. I can't make it up to you, what you went through as a kid. But I can make sure that the rest of your life is as good as it can be.

Jackie:Steven…..(unsure of what to do)

Hyde:(looks at Jackie, looks at her stomach, and looks at W.B.) Thanks…Dad.

W.B.(hugs Hyde) You're welcome son, just don't tell your sister. Who knows how many times I'm going to have to do this for her. More than once, and she's going to have to rent! (Jackie gives W.B. a kiss on the cheek)

JACKIE PREPARES TO TOSS HER BOUQUET; EVERYONE REALIZES THAT THE ONLY SINGLE WOMEN THERE ARE DONNA AND BROOKE. JACKIE TOSSES THE BOUQUET, WHICH AFTER THEY JUMP FOR IT, MYSTERIOUSLY LANDS IN FENTON'S ARMS.

Red:Mrs. Hyde, Mr. Loud One, Kitty & I would like to talk to you in the kitchen for a minute.

THEY GO INTO THE KITCHEN

Kitty:W.B. told us the wonderful news. How exciting for you both!

Red:And for me too…I'm finally getting some of you kids out of my house.

Kitty:(gives Red a death glare) Anyway, it's not a house, but we wanted to do something special for you two. (hands Jackie an envelope.)

Jackie:Two airline tickets to Hawaii!! (hands the tickets to Hyde)

Red:This might be your only chance to go…babies can throw a monkey wrench in plans sometimes.

Kitty:Not that we wouldn't baby-sit anytime. Because we would.

Red:(seriously) Enjoy your honeymoon, kids. Hope you're as happy as Kitty and I have been.

RED EXTENDS HIS HAND TO HYDE. HYDE WALKS RIGHT PAST IT AND HUGS RED, WHO'S TRYING DESPERATELY NOT TO CRY. JACKIE HUGS KITTY AND THEN GOES OVER TO RED AND KISSES HIM. MEANWHILE, HYDE GOES OVER TO KITTY.

Kitty:(crying) I couldn't love you more if I had given birth to you myself.

Hyde:(nods, trying not to get emotional)

Jackie:We love you both, so much. Thank you. For everything (looks at Hyde and takes his hand, tightly. She tries to lighten the mood) Now, you'll still be around to help us, you know, get settled and plan for the baby. I have to work on that whole butt thing before the baby comes.

Kitty:Oh, of course. And you do have to get over that butt thing, dear. The strangest things come out of a baby. (They head back to the living room)

Red:Don't worry son. (puts his arm around Hyde) You're welcome here any time to escape the hormones. Jackie's and Kitty's. (Hyde nods; they walk back into the living room)

IT'S NOW DARK OUTSIDE. THE WEDDING DECORATIONS ARE STILL MIXED UP WITH THE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS. THE FURNITURE HAS BEEN MOVED BACK. CHRISTMAS DINNER HAS BEEN EATEN. CHRISTMAS WRAPPING PAPER IS MIXED UP WITH WEDDING WRAPPING PAPER ON THE FLOOR. HYDE & JACKIE JUST CUT THEIR WEDDING CAKE IN THE DEN, WHICH REMNANTS OF ARE STILL IN HYDE'S SIDEBURNS FROM WHERE JACKIE SMASHED IT IN HIS FACE.

Eric:Everyone…attention…everyone. Donna?

Donna:(loudly) Hey, listen up people.

Eric:Thank you Donna. I'd like to propose a toast. (He's had a few)

EVERYONE TAKES A GLASS

Eric:When Hyde & Jackie first got together, I didn't think it was a good idea.

Red:Eric, shut up!

Eric:It's okay Dad. Even though YOU never sent ME to Hawaii.

Donna:(warning) Eric…

Eric:But seeing you two here today. (pauses) I was wrong. We all were. The orphan boy has a wife. A home. And all of us. (looks around at everyone) A family. I wish you everlasting happiness. To Hyde & Jackie.

EVERYONE RAISES THEIR GLASSES; HYDE & JACKIE KISS

W.B.Well, I hate to say this, but I think I better get Jack back soon…Snow's coming down again.

Jack:Yeah. We better go.

W.B.You two have a good honeymoon. Call me if you need anything.

Jackie:Thank you. (she gives him a kiss, Hyde gives him a hug)

Jack:Come see me when you get back?

Jackie:Of course.

Hyde:We both will. (puts his arm around Jackie)

Jack:(smiles as he & W.B. walk towards the front door) It's too bad your mother…

W.B.(opening the door) What the hell???

Hyde:(All four of them are standing in the doorway) See Jack, we did hear from Pam. She sent tequila. And apparently Kelso & Fez found the bottle. And they shared with Bob and Leo. And now, all of Point Place has been treated to drunken, naked snow angels.

WE CAN HEAR THE SOUNDS OF DRUNKEN MISCHIEF COMING FROM THE FRONT YARD

Jack:W.B…..

W.B.I hear ya. Let's get out of here before the cops show up.

Jack:Goodbye kitten (kisses Jackie. Jack & W.B. quickly leave)

HYDE & JACKIE SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. JACKIE JUST SHAKES HER HEAD IN DISBELIEF. HYDE GETS A MISCHIEVOUS SMIRK ON HIS FACE.

Hyde:Hey Red, I think there's one more present for you outside

Red:(disgusted) Holy crap! That's not even how you write Merry Christmas in snow… You spelled it wrong….dumbasses!

EVERYONE WHO IS LEFT IS NOW PEEKING OUT THE LIVING ROOM WINDOW. WE CAN ALSO HEAR SIRENS IN THE DISTANCE.

The song from Hyde's vows is "Thank You" by Led Zeppelin. It can be found on Led Zeppelin II.

Just one more chapter (unless it goes too long) and then the epilogue left!!!!
