Thank you to everyone who has reviewed so far. You guys are awesome. I hope you like this chapter as much as I loved writing it. It went through a bunch of versions before I settled on this one, which is as close to the original as it could be. Funny how that works huh? This chapter is in two parts, because it was rather long. Also, there's a popular children's cartoon reference. I thought it was rather fitting.

Please review, I'll um, well I'll love you forever.

Fez walked into a room full of producers and other Hollywood big wigs.

FEZ: coughs Sooki does not own That 70's Show or its characters.

Fez paused before continuing.

FEZ: I would just like to say that those of you who do own us should be ashamed of yourselves for what you did to us during the last season.

Producers: But Fez…

FEZ: I said ashamed!

Chapter 15: Roxanne.

7 am in Jackie Burkhart's bathroom.

She stared at the stick in her sink. The combination of a missed period and feeling nauseous at dinner with the Forman's the night before had lead a now panicked Jackie Burkhart to lock herself in her bathroom with a pregnancy test and a headless Fluffycakes at 7 am in the morning. She reached for the instructions again, just to make sure she had read them correctly. Blue line meant pregnant, no line meant not. She looked at the stick again. The line was definitely there, and it was most definitely blue. She looked the test she had taken the night before and saw the same exact results. Slowly, realization set in. "Oh god." She muttered to herself, eyes still transfixed the stick. She grabbed it and headed straight to Donna and Eric's. She had never been more grateful that they lived a floor below them. She knocked on their door.

Eric opened the door in his pajamas. "Jackie, you know we love you, but I have to work in two hours and I would really like to sleep in."

She just stood there, staring at him she looked like she had just seen a ghost. He held the door open for her so she could walk in. Donna was already coming out of their bedroom, having heard the knock at the door. She saw the look on her best friend's face and instantly knew that this was going to call for a lot of ice cream.

They sat around their kitchen table; Jackie was slowly eating her ice cream trying to figure out how to say the words. Slowly, she reached into her pocket and pulled out the pregnancy test stick, and dropped it onto the table without a word.

Eric and Donna stared at the stick. Slowly, as though it were a living creature ready to bite her, Donna reached over for it. She looked at the stick and then at Jackie. "It's a line."

"It's a line." Jackie agreed.

"That means?"

"That I'm having Steven's illegitimate child."

Eric frowned at Jackie. "Maybe it won't be illegitimate; you and Hyde could get married before it's born."

Jackie laughed. "Well, he did always say the only time you should get married was when the girl was pregnant and your back was against the wall."

Eric and Donna looked at each other. They both knew Hyde felt differently.

"Have you told him yet?" Donna asked.

"I just took the test this morning, you two were the first to know."

Donna touched her hand to her heart. "I'm so touched!" She reached over to hug Jackie.

Finally coming out of his stupor, Eric reached over and hugged Jackie as well. "How do you feel?" he asked her.

She looked serious. "A little scared, but also a little excited, I mean, it's a baby." She said the word again. "Baby." "Steven's baby." Every time she said it, it became more real, and was starting to sound better and better.

She smiled at her friends. "I'm having a baby!"

Together, they shouted "We're having a baby!" Donna and Jackie started jumping up in down in excitement.

"Oh what the hell." Eric said, and he joined in.

"How are you going to tell him?" Eric asked Jackie.

She looked thoughtful. "I have no idea. What's the best way to tell him so he doesn't freak out?"

She looked at the blank expressions on her friends faces. "That's what I thought."

Suddenly, Jackie got an idea. "Eric, why don't you talk to Steven for me?"

"Huh?"

"Find out what he thinks about children and stuff. You don't have to tell him anything, just see what he thinks."

Donna shook her head. "That's a terrible idea Jackie. Eric has never been able to keep secrets. He's worse than you."

Jackie sighed. "You're right. I don't know what to do though."

"So what do you two have planned today?" she asked.

"Well, I don't know about Donna, but I have an exciting day of doing inventory at Grooves.

"I'm off from the library today, so if I'm all yours." Donna told her.

"I need to stop by the shop and talk to Mr. Forman, and then after that, I need to figure out how to tell my boyfriend that he got me knocked up in his El Camino."

"I really didn't need to know that." Donna grimaced.

"Is that guy from Muffler Master still trying to get you to go work for him?" Eric asked.

Jackie scowled. "Yes, god what dumbass."

Donna and Eric looked at each other and then at Jackie.

"You have been spending way too much time with Red." Donna told her.

Eric walked into Grooves feeling a little shaky. He was never good at keeping secrets, especially one of this magnitude. His best friend and his uh, whatever it was Jackie was to him. Ex nemesis turned friend? He shook his head to get rid of his thoughts and walked over to Hyde and Leo. Leo looked at him strangely.

"Why is Luke Skywalker here again? What happened to that Randy dude?"

Hyde glared at Eric and answered Leo. "Randy quit, so Forman is working here now."

Leo nodded. "Right, I never liked him anyway, there's nothing worse than a person who thinks they're funny but really aren't man." Leo walked away from Hyde and Eric.

Hyde turned to Eric. "You told Leo to call you Luke Skywalker? I am so kicking your ass later, Forman."

Eric shrugged. "What?"

Hyde looked at the guy he considered his brother. "What's with you today?" "You're all twitchy."

"I'm always twitchy." Eric said defensively.

"What did you do?" Hyde asked.

Eric thought about it for a minute and then smiled inwardly. He knew how to deal with this.

"Well, everything has been going really great lately."

"You worried you're about to do something stupid and screw it up aren't you?"

"Yes."

Hyde stood up and put his hand on Eric's shoulder. "Forman, you moved to Africa for six months, I think that's like six months worth of stupid right there."

Eric smiled. "You think so?"

"Oh yes, it might even last you a whole year."

"Whew."

Hyde patted Eric on the back. "Yeah, you're golden man; now go sort those records over there." Hyde said, pointing to a box.

"Hi Red." Jackie said walking into the shop. Donna followed in after her.

"Hi Mr. Forman"

"Jackie, Donna." Red acknowledged them as he sorted through the yesterday's receipts. He frowned. "We've had fewer customers this week."

Jackie nodded. "It's because of that damn Muffler Master."

Red sighed. "I don't know what I'm going to do about it either."

Jackie frowned. "Don't you mean 'what we're going to do about it, because I'm not about to let some sleazy creep take the one job I've ever really loved away from me."

Red gave Jackie a proud smile. Jackie continued. "We need to make people want to come here. What does this shop have that Muffler Master doesn't have?"

The three of them looked at each other for a minute, finally Red sighed.

"Well, it doesn't matter at the moment, right now we need to discuss what we're going to do about you carrying my son's child."

Both Jackie and Donna were shocked. "How did you know?" They both exclaimed.

Red smiled and put his hand on Jackie's. "I've been through this twice before, and given that you nearly threw up the other day when Kitty served Lasagna at dinner, it gave it away."

"I haven't told Steven yet, I'm scared he's going to flip out."

"Jackie, we're men, we flip out. Steven will probably panic, but he's a good man, he'll do what's right."

Jackie finally smiled. "You're right. He'll be happy."

"You know, the fumes aren't going to be good for you, so you're going to have to stay up here until that thing is out of you."

Jackie hugged Red and kissed his cheek. Donna took Jackie's hand.

"Come on Jackie, let's go shopping."

Jackie smiled. "Oh my god, you're right Donna, I need to find a sexy outfit to wear when I tell him!"

They both waved to Red as the walked out the door.

Hyde looked over at Eric who was sitting on the couch in the basement.

"Okay, first of all, you still look twitchy, and secondly, where are our women?"

Eric tried to calm himself down. "They should be here soon." He said as the door opened and Donna walked in holding a shopping bag. She sat next to Eric and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hi, honey." She said.

"Hi." He said back.

Hyde leaned over in his seat. "Donna, your husband has been really twitchy today, and he won't tell me why."

"Uh, is he?" Donna said nervously. She then caught herself. "I mean, he is?"

"Yes, and now you're doing it too." Hyde said suspiciously. He then looked around. "Also, you seem to be missing something, small, brunette, yells?"

"She dropped me off here; she wanted to go back to her apartment and change."

Donna looked over at Brooke. "Where's Betsy?"

"She's over at Grandma Bell's." She said as she laid down the last of her cards.

Both Kelso and Fez frowned as Brooke beat them once again at Go Fish.

"Damn it Brooke, you beat us again!" Kelso looked at his girlfriend in awe.

Brooke smiled. "I've read a lot of books on playing cards." She shrugged.

Hyde looked over and smiled. "I bet she'd be great at poker."

Kelso and Fez grinned at each other.

"Fez, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Fez smiled. "I think so, but where are we going to find an open tattoo parlor at this hour?"

Kelso shook his head. "No, I was thinking we should play strip poker!"

"I didn't just hear something about strip poker did I?" Jackie said as she walked in instantly catching the attention of the guys in the room.

"Damn Jackie, you look hot!" Kelso said, bug eyed.

Brooke glared at Kelso as Hyde leaned over to frog him in the arm.

"Ow." Kelso rubbed his arm.

Hyde frowned at Jackie. "So what's with the get up?" He gestured to her clothes.

"Do you like?" She turned around to show him the back of her skirt and shirt ensemble. He frowned even more when he saw that the shirt was backless apart from a few straps that zigzagged across the back.

He looked around at the rest of the gang as he got up. "We'll be upstairs, stay out of my stash." He grabbed Jackie's hand and pulled her upstairs.

Hyde was back downstairs in ten minutes.

"Wow Hyde, that was uh, quick." Eric stated the obvious.

Hyde sat down in his chair. "She stopped it saying she felt sick."

Donna stood up. "I'll go see if she's okay." She went upstairs.

Hyde turned to Eric, "I think Jackie might have that bug that's going around."

Eric nearly burst out laughing. "Yeah, I'm sure that's it."

Donna knocked on the bathroom door. "Jackie? Are you okay?"

Jackie came out. "Yeah, I do not like this morning sickness thing."

Donna hugged her friend. "Would it help if I told you that you look really pretty?"

Jackie smiled. "Steven is going crazy."

Donna grinned. "You know Jackie; I think I know a way for you to tell Hyde."

The two girls smirked at each other.

"Let's go." The two locked arms and headed down to the basement.

"So, Jackie and I were just talking about your suggestion that we play strip poker." Donna said to Kelso. She winked at Brooke.

"You did?" Kelso gulped. "You mean you'll do it?"

Hyde shook his head. "No. We're not playing strip poker."

Donna smirked. "You're just scared because you know us," She gestured to herself, Brooke and Jackie, "Would literally beat the pants off you guys."

Hyde glared at the redhead. "No, we're not playing because I don't want Jackie topless in front of Kelso and Fez." He paused, "And also, no you wouldn't."

"Yeah, I'm not crazy about this either." Eric finally spoke up. He then looked at his wife and Jackie who both had their eye brows raised at him.

"I mean, yeah right, we guys would cream you girls!"

Jackie looked at Hyde. "What if I put on a tank top and one of your shirts? That way it would take longer for me to lose my top?" She pouted her lip.

Hyde looked at the girls. "You are being really weird tonight, and fine."

"I think it sounds like fun." Brooke said, catching on.

Both Fez and Kelso looked like they were about to explode.

"This is the best day ever!"

Half an hour later, the girls were on one side of the coffee table, and the guys were on the other. Each team had a hand and was in various states of undress. The guys were all in their boxers and Fez was now shirtless. Donna and Brooke still wore their pants, but didn't have any socks on. Jackie's pants were off and she was only wearing Hyde's ACDC shirt.

"Show them." Brooke told her boyfriend.

Kelso laid down his hand. "Two pair."

The girls looked at each other and frowned.

"Damn, all we got is this flush." Brooke laid her cards on the table.

The guys groaned.

The girls huddled together for a moment before disbanding.

"Michael, remove your shirt." Brooke pointed at Kelso.

Kelso frowned. "You know, this is nothing like my fantasy." He told the group as he removed his shirt. The guys all frowned and nodded.

Donna and Eric switched places with Brooke and Kelso. Fez took the cards and reshuffled them before passing them out.

"Are you ready to show these perverts your bra?" Eric asked.

"Are you ready to lose that shirt?" Donna retorted, earning a snicker from Jackie.

The two teams looked at their hands. Donna threw out two cards and Eric threw out two as well. Fez gave them two more cards.

Eric put down his cards to show three eights. "I'd like to see you beat that Mrs. Pinciotti-Forman."

"If you insist, Mr. Foreplay." Donna laughed as she showed her three Jacks. "Off with the shirt." She ordered.

Eric turned to his two team mates. "This really sucks."

Jackie sat down in Donna's seat. "For heaven's sake Eric, eat a sandwich, you're wasting away."

Hyde sat down and winked at Jackie. "Hello, Darlin'"

"Steven."

Fez dealt out the cards again and turned to Hyde. "Please don't lose this time; I want to see more of Jackie's skin." Hyde leaned over and frogged Fez.

"You can quit anytime you want to." Hyde told her.

Jackie shook her head. "I don't think so."

The girls all looked at Jackie's hand. She almost had a full house. Jackie looked over at Hyde who was wearing his Zen face. She then looked at Kelso, who was unwittingly acting as their tell. Jackie threw out two of her cards.

Brooke leaned over to whisper in Donna's ear. "Why did she just do that?"

Donna leaned back to whisper back. "You'll see."

Jackie put her cards down to show her now crappy hand.

Hyde smirked as he put down his hand, which was slightly better than Jackie's.

"I guess the shirt comes off." He wasn't happy about Jackie showing that much skin.

Jackie stood up to remove the shirt. She was now standing wearing nothing but a tank top and her panties.

"There's something I need to tell you, Steven."

"What's that doll?"

Jackie stood, half naked in front of her friends and realized that this was not the way she wanted to tell Steven he was going to be a father.

"Yes?" He prodded.

"I secretly love Led Zeppelin!" She blurted out.

"What?" he asked confused. Eric and Donna gave her similar looks.

"Yeah, I like the music of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page!" She grabbed Hyde's tee shirt and put it back on. Donna smiled at her, proud of her friend.

The gang started to put their clothes back on. Kelso went and turned up the stereo. The Beach Boy's Wouldn't it be Nice played.

Fez grinned and grabbed Jackie's hand, pulling her up. "Dance with me my pregnant goddess!" Jackie giggled as Fez twirled Jackie around.

"Be careful with her." Hyde warned. Fez smiled.

Eric and Donna laughed at Jackie and Fez.

"I forgot how good you two are." Donna said.

Jackie frowned. "Oh damn, I just realized we're not going to be able to compete this year at the Kenosha annual disco competition!"

Fez smiled at Jackie. "It's okay, we'll beat those whores next year."

"Wait, what disco competition?" Hyde asked, confused.

"You didn't know?" Eric asked, laughing.

Hyde shook his head. "What disco competition?" He asked again, this time more sternly.

"The one we've one three years in a row." Fez said proudly.

Jackie nodded. "Yep, we're the reigning champs."

"Huh." "So why aren't you going to be competing this year?"

Jackie knew if she didn't tell him now, she would lose her nerve.

"So what did you do today?" She asked casually.

"Well, I went to work, had a circle with Forman and Leo, came home, went to dinner at the Forman's, then I came home." "What did you do?"

"Oh, I had a great day! I found out I'm pregnant, then I had ice cream for breakfast at Eric and Donna's, then me and Donna went and talked to Red, then we went shopping. Oh and I threw up a lot."

Everyone but Eric, Donna and Jackie gasped.

"Oh this is wonderful!" Fez clapped his hands.

"Damn!" Kelso shouted, jumping out of his seat.

Brooke hugged Jackie. "Congratulations!"

Hyde sat staring at his girlfriend who was looking at him nervously.

"Steven?"

They all waited for the explosion. Hyde cocked his head to the side.

"Are you sure?" He asked her.

She nodded. "I haven't seen my doctor yet, but I took two tests and I haven't had my period in over two months. I can feel it, Steven. We're having a baby." She smiled.

"Wow." He was still in shock.

Brooke looked at the clock. "You guys, it's almost one in the morning."

"Damn, I don't want to go. I'm having too much fun." Donna said.

"Me too." Eric agreed.

Some how, a coke and beer circle was formed. Hyde still hadn't spoken, but his arm was wrapped protectively around Jackie. Donna and Eric were holding hands, grinning at the couple.

Kelso looked at his friends and remembered what Jackie had said about the right moment. "Brooke, I've been thinking. We're doing good living together right?"

Brooke nodded. "We're doing great Michael."

"I love you." He told her.

"I love you too." The leaned in to kiss.

"So, I was thinking, if things are so great, we should go ahead a get married."

They ignored the boos coming from the rest of the gang. "No proposing in the circle!" Hyde told him.

Brooke laughed. "I can't believe you're seriously proposing to me in the circle Michael. You're crazy you know that?"

He grinned. "I am, and you love me. So what do you say?"

"Yes Michael, I'll marry you." They kissed again.

Jackie wiped a tear from her eye. "Oh god, that was so romantic!"

Hyde looked at Jackie incredulously. "How was that romantic?"

"It just was!"

"So, what would you do if I proposed to you in the circle?" he asked her.

She looked thoughtful. "I'd kill you." She answered honestly.

He laughed. "See, you don't really think it's romantic." He told her.

She shook her head. "Oh yes I do. It's romantic for them!" She pointed towards Brooke and Kelso who were still wrapped up in each other. "You see Steven, it depends on the couple. Eric proposed to Donna on the water tower and that was okay, but they weren't ready to be married, but when Donna proposed to Eric that was right, because she's a lumberjack and that's what lumberjacks do."

"Hey!" Donna said to her. "Watch what you say midget."

Jackie stuck her tongue out at her.

"What about Fez and Laurie?" Eric asked her.

"Oh, that doesn't count. There wasn't even a proposal; it was more like a drunken suggestion." Hyde interjected.

"And so you see Steven, Michael isn't the type to come up with some huge romantic gesture, he's simple. He asked her because he felt like it."

Hyde thought about it. Maybe she was right. He had to know more though.

"And what about us?

"Steven, I'm not going to tell you how to propose to me, you need to figure that out on your own. But, I will say this, you better not ask me just because I'm having your baby."

"How about I ask you because you're hot and the sex with you is awesome?"

Jackie smiled. "You say the sweetest things." They leaned in for a kiss.

Hyde looked down at his empty beer can. "Does anyone need more?" He got up as they nodded in the affirmative. He grabbed the beers and another coke for Jackie before settling in his spot again next to Jackie. She put his head on his chest and Hyde looked at the people he considered his family and decided that life was good.

This chapter is cut in two parts. So review this part and then head on over to part two! Thanks!
