Chapter 14
Scene 1
TWO WEEKS AFTER THE WEDDING
Forman Living Room
Eric:Come on Donna, get a move on. We've got to get back to Madison before it snows again.
Donna:Eric, it's Wisconsin. It's winter. What'd you expect?
Eric:The only thing worse than driving in it, is shoveling it. And if we don't get moving, Red will make me shovel the driveway. Again.
Donna:Okay, this is it. (She comes downstairs and puts her suitcase down; Eric tries to pick it up, but he can't.) Still the scrawny neighbor boy, huh.
Eric:What'd you do, take lessons from the Jackie Burkhart school of packing?
Hyde:That'd be Hyde. The Jackie HYDE school of packing!
Eric & Donna:You're back!
EVERYONE EXCHANGES HUGS
Donna:How was the honeymoon?
Jackie:Wonderful. (smiles at Hyde, who gives her a quick kiss)
Hyde:Hey Forman, help me carry this luggage downstairs. (Hyde & Eric go down to the basement)
SPLIT SCREEN
Donna:(pulling Jackie closer to her) So, how was it?
Jackie:Oh, Donna it was amazing. Steven is so romantic.
Donna:Romantic?
Jackie:(searching for the right word) Creative?
Donna:Creative I'd buy.
HYDE & ERIC ARE THE BOTTOM SCREEN
Eric:So, how was it? (drops bags behind the couch)
Hyde:(drops bags next to his chair) Exhausting. (just smiles)
Eric:(nods) Oh, I suppose Jackie dragged you around to all those volcano spots.
Hyde:Oh, there were some explosions. (he sits down in his chair and just keeps smiling at Eric…who doesn't get it)
Eric:(confused) Natural Parks?
Hyde:(sighs at the memory) I'm not sure we saw anything that wasn't au natural.
Eric:(starting to get the idea) Pearl Harbor memorial?
Hyde:(laughing at Eric, who's only now starting to catch on) Nothing half-staffed about this honeymoon.
Eric:You're sick…..
Hyde:Marriage, Forman. (putting his feet up) Highly recommended.
JACKIE & DONNA COME DOWNSTAIRS
Jackie:What are you two doing?
Hyde:Just filling Forman in on our little trip….(kisses her and pulls her on his lap)
Jackie:STEVEN, did you tell him about the nude beach?
Hyde:(laughs) No, but you can now.
Eric:(nervous) Ok, we have to get back to Madison now. Donna has to change her courses and we have to get back early before all she can take is basket weaving for crooked lawyers.
Hyde:Go get 'em big D.
Donna:See you guys in a few weeks.
Jackie:Hey, where's Bob? Is he going back with you?
Donna:No, he said he had a surprise to work on…and that we'd see him later.
ERIC & DONNA LEAVE FOR MADISON
Hyde:Huh. All alone in the basement. What are the odds of that? (devilish smile)
THEY START MAKING OUT AND MOVE ON TO THE COUCH. FEZ COMES OUT FROM INSIDE THE SHOWER
Fez:Now that you are married, the thrill of watching is gone.
FEZ WALKS OUT OF THE BASEMENT DOOR; HYDE AND JACKIE ARE CONFUSED FOR A MOMENT….AND THEN GO BACK TO MAKING OUT.
Scene 2
Forman Kitchen
RED, KITTY, HYDE & JACKIE ARE SITTING AROUND THE TABLE EATING DINNER
Kitty:oh Red, sometime we have to go to Hawaii. This just sounds so fabulous.
Red:Already been there.
Kitty:(exasperated) War does not count as a vacation stop!
BOB ENTERS THROUGH THE SIDE DOOR
Bob:Hey there, Hi there, Ho there.
Red:Didn't you leave with Eric & Donna?
Bob:Nope. Had a surprise for everyone to work on.
Kitty:A surprise?
Hyde:Yeah, Donna mentioned something about that.
Bob:Well, with Donna going to law school, I didn't think that being so far away would be a good idea. She might get pregnant, or something. So, I'm selling the business and moving back to Point Place. But Fez got a sublease for his apartment, so I'm looking for a place to stay.
Hyde:(joking) Ooh, I know.
Red:(knowing where he's going with this) No you don't.
Hyde:Why don't you move into the basement? Jackie & I will be moving out when we find a house, and that way, Mrs. Forman won't be so lonely with us gone.
Kitty:I think that's a WONDERFUL idea, don't you Red.
Red:Just Damn Wonderful…(glares at Hyde, who is laughing with Jackie)
A/N:Ok, just a bit of fun fluff to transition into the final chapter before the epilogue. Otherwise, it wouldn't have made as much sense.
The final chapter: Jackie gives birth. Let the fun begin.
