Authors Note: Okay i'm a freak. I have to end things with even numbers so i'm putting the wedding in chapter 19 and the epilogue as 20. Okay so there are two songs in this one. The first is called 'Someday (I'll Understand' by Britney Spears and it's such a beautiful song that fits everything for this chapter so well. The second is called The World Has it's Shine But i would drop it on a dime by Cobra Starship. I promise that the wedding is going to be the whole next chapter so it wont be that long but it'll be in it. Then it'll be the epilogue and we'll be done. Sad yeah but it's getting to be that time. Alright so review and let me know what you think.
Chapter Eighteen: Somebody's watching Over You
Nothing
seems to be the way
That it used to
Everything seems
shallow
God give me truth
In me
And tell me somebody is
watching
Over me
And that is all I'm praying is that
Someday
I will understand
In God's whole plan
And what he's done to
me
Oh but maybe
Someday I will breathe
And I'll finally
see
I'll see it all in my baby
Don't you run too fast my
dear
Why don't you stop?
Just stop and listen to your
tears
They're all you've got
It's in you
You see somebody is
watching
Over you
And that is all I'm praying is that
Someday
you will understand
In God's whole plan
And what he does to
you
Oh but maybe
Someday you will breathe
And you'll finally
see
You'll see it all in your baby
You'll see it all in your
baby
No moment
Will be more true
Than the moment
I
look at you
It's in you
You see somebody is watching
Over
you
And that is all I'm praying is that
Someday you will
understand
In God's whole plan
And what he does to you
Oh
but maybe
Someday you will breathe
And you'll finally
see
You'll see it all in your baby
You'll see it all in your
baby
You'll see it all in your baby
You'll see it all in your
baby
The crowd went wild as Jackie slowly lowered the microphone down from her mouth and smiled at the crowd. "That goes out to my best friend who is having a baby any day now." Jackie said as the crowd continued to cheer. "You guys have been awesome. Thank you so much. Now lets welcome back The High for their very last song tonight." Jackie said as Hyde took the stage and wrapped her arm around her waist.
"Thanks Jacks. Alright this last song is called the worlds got its shine; But I would drop it on a dime and Jackie we'd like you to play a little keytar for us." Hyde said as Nick handed the keytar to Jackie who took it with a huge smile on her face.
"Ladies and Gentlemen you've been amazing." Hyde said as the guys began the song.
I'm not one for
love songs.
The way I'm living makes you feel like giving up
But
you don't,
And I want everything for you.
My
disappointment
'Cause you've been left behind
And the world
has its shine,
I would drop it on a dime for you.
(Hey
oh!)
And whatever it takes.
(Hey oh!)
I'm gonna make my
way home.
(Hey oh!)
We can turn our backs on the past
and
start over…
Not long ago
I gave up hope,
But you came
along
You gave me something I could hold on to.
Woah-oh.
And
I want you.
Oh, woah.
More than you could ever know.
Before
I met you
I used to dream you up and make you up in my mind (up in
my mind)
Woah-oh.
And all I ever wanted
Was to be
understood.
You've been the only one who could.
I could never
turn my back on you.
(Hey oh!)
And whatever it takes.
(Hey
oh!)
I'm gonna make my way home.
(Hey oh!)
We can turn our
backs on the past
and start over…
Not long ago (not long
ago)
I gave up hope, (I gave up hope)
But you came along (you
came along)
You gave me something I could hold on to.
Woah-oh.
And
I want you.
Oh, woah.
More than you could ever know (more than
you could ever know.)
More than you could ever know.
It's
you.
Not long ago
I gave up hope,
But you came
along.
Gave me something I could hold on to.
Woah-oh.
(Yeah!)
Not
long ago (not long ago)
I gave up hope, (I gave up hope)
But
you came along (you came along)
You gave me something I could hold
on to.
Woah-oh.
And I want you.
Oh, woah.
More than you
could ever know.
Hyde pulled Jackie to him as they crowd cheered. He leaned over and planted a kiss on her cheek before they said their final goodbye's and took their final bows. They walked off the stage and Jackie was immediately handed William. "Hey little boy what did you think of mommy and daddy?" Jackie asked as the little baby giggled.
"We just got here actually." Donna said as she tried to keep up with Jackie and hold onto her stomach at the same time.
"Donna are you feeling alright?" Jackie said as she turned around and looked at her best friend.
"Actually now that you mention it…I'm really not."
"What's wrong?" Eric asked as he ran to his wife.
"Eric its nothing to panic about but I think your wife just went into labor."
"What?" Eric said as Donna began to glare at him.
"Yep that's definitely labor right there." Hyde said as the floor under Donna suddenly got very wet.
"Let's go lumberjack." Jackie said as Hyde helped Donna to the car while Travis and Nick helped a babbling Eric behind them.
Jackie smiled as Donna held the tiny baby in her arms occasionally cooing at the little one, in one of the sweetest voice Jackie had ever heard. "So what are you going to name him?" Jackie asked as she sat in the chair beside Donna's bed with little William in her arms.
"Well I haven't talked to Eric about it but I want to name him Robert Reginald Forman."
"Oh Donna that's so sweet, I know he'll love it."
"You think so?"
"Yeah…I'll go get him and we'll tell him your suggestion. Trust me he'll love it." Jackie said as she stood up and went to go find Eric. A few minutes later she walked back in with Eric in tow. "Alright you tell him and I'm going to go find Steven." Jackie said as she walked back out.
"Eric I think I know what I want to name him."
"Really," Eric said
as he walked over to Donna and sat on the bed beside her and the
baby, "Because I have a few suggestions myself."
"Really?
Well do you want to go first?"
"No that's fine you go."
"Well I was thinking Robert after my father and Reginald after your father." Donna said as Eric just stared at her.
"Donna-"
"Unless you want to go with something else that's fine too."
Eric leaned forward and gently kissed her. "No that's perfect."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. I love it already." Eric said as he kissed his wife again before laying a gentle kiss on his son's forehead.
Jackie stood beside Donna's door waiting for Eric to come out when Hyde came up to her. "What are you doing?"
"I'm waiting for Eric."
"Why?"
"I need to talk to him."
"About your coma dream?"
"How did you?" Jackie said as she turned to look at him.
"I know you Jackie," Hyde said as he leaned over and kissed her cheek, "Good luck.' He said before he walked away and Eric walked out of Donna's room.
"Oh Jackie sorry I didn't see you there."
"It's alright. Hey do you think we could talk for a minute?"
"Uh yeah sure that's fine. Let's go over there." Eric said as he pointed to the chair across the way and together walked to it. "So what do you want to talk about?" Eric asked once they'd sat down.
"There really isnt an easy way to say this so I'm just going to say it, so here goes. When I was in a coma I had a dream. And in my dream your dad was there. He was sort of my guide either back to this life to another. Anyway we had a really great conversation and he told me a lot of things."
"Wait you had a dream about my dad?"
"Yeah,"
"Whatever," Eric said as he stood up and Jackie grabbed his arm.
"Eric I'm not kidding you. I had a dream about your dad. He told me things…he even showed me things…things I wouldn't have known about before."
"Like what?" Eric asked as he sat down.
"The day that you found out you didn't have a home and Steven invited you to live in his."
"Wait that happened before any of us met you."
"I know."
"But Hyde could have told you that."
"Steven has never told me anything like that. You can go ask him. He doesn't know that part of the dream." Jackie said as Eric stared at her.
"If you really saw my dad then answer me this…why did he leave me?"
"When your parents died your dad well Eric your dad didn't die right away. Your mom was killed in the accident but your father wasn't. Your dad was given the same choice I was only instead of choosing to come here he went with your mom. He didn't want to leave her alone."
"So instead he left me here all alone?" Eric asked as he glared at her.
"Eric he left because he needed your mother and he knew that you were going to be taken care of because you had friends who loved you. You had a family and he knew you'd be alright. He told me that even to this day he doesn't regret it because you've turned into the man he always dreamed you could be. You've got a family Eric and brother who would do anything for you. Red gave his life for that. Just remember that Eric." Jackie said as Eric looked at her.
"Thanks Jackie." Eric said as Jackie quickly hugged him.
"I didn't mean to hurt you."
"You didn't…I just…I'm thinking of it as if it were Donna and I."
"That's good." Jackie said as Eric got up and went back to Donna.
"Hey you," Jackie said as she sat down next to Hyde and William.
"How'd it go?"
"It went fine actually."
"So I've been thinking."
"You've been thinking about what?"
"I've been thinking about when we're going to get married."
"Oh really now and when is that?"
"We're going to get married in 3 months."
"What? Are you serious Steven?"
"I've never been more serious in my life Jackie. What do you say…want to get married in three months?" Hyde asked as Jackie sat there completely speechless before she attacked his face in a fury of kisses.
"Oh Steven of course, oh my god we're getting married and there's so much to do. Oh my god," Jackie said as she quickly got up and ran into Donna's room.
"Look what I did kid. I created a monster." Hyde said as tickled William who giggled at his father.
A/N: i'm sorry i couldnt resist having that good old jackie come back. Hope you liked it. Let me know what you thought.
