I'm doing my best to update all my stories. Go me!

Warning: There's a scene in here that's completely unrealistic. It would never in a million years actually happen, and if it did, it would be cause for major concern and possible lawsuits. However, here it's mainly used for comedic purposes. Mostly I just like to see Hyde squirm.

Slightly OOC Hyde, but given the circumstances…

Reviews keep me going.

The Moon Up Above

Jackie watched in horror as Hyde carried in his boxes from his El Camino into her house. She had hoped beyond hope that he had been joking when he said he was going to move in, but it seemed as though he was actually telling the truth, if the sight of his tee shirts sticking out from the bottom box were any indication.

"Where can I put these?" He asked.

Jackie glared at him, "How about up your…" she wasn't allowed to finish that sentence however as a hand covered her mouth.

"The guest room is on the left up stairs." Donna told him. Hyde nodded and trudged up the stairs. Donna let go of Jackie and Jackie turned and glared at her.

"The guest room? He's not sleeping in my guest room." Jackie hissed at her best friend.

Donna laughed, "He is technically a guest."

"Donna, guests are wanted. Hyde isn't wanted, there go, not a guest. He can sleep on the couch, or better yet, outside with the dogs!"

"Jackie once made me sleep outside with the dogs." Kelso added.

Jackie gave a smile, "See, and he loved every minute of it. If it worked for Michael it'll work for Steven."

"What'll work for me?" the man in question asked as he came back down the stairs.

"You sleeping outside with the dogs." Jackie said with a saccharine smile. She felt her stomach rumbling and looked down. "Come on Pea, let's get you something to eat…" she rubbed her tummy lovingly and walked out of the room.

"Wow." Donna laughed at Hyde's befuddled expression.

"She's not going to let this go anytime soon is she?" Hyde asked.

Donna laughed even harder, "Nope."

"I'm going to be paying for this until I die, possibly longer, aren't I?" He asked again.

"Yep." Kelso agreed.

"Hyde, my friend, in my country we have a saying," Fez told him with a pat on the back, "He who has girlfriend but goes and marries other girl but not before impregnating first girl is so very, very screwed."

Hyde glared at the dark skinned man, "Thank you that makes me feel a whole lot better."

Fez put his hands up defensively. "Who said anything about making you feel better? You deserve to go to hell, you basard."

A few minutes later, Jackie came out with a bowl of olives. "These are really good; it's too bad I'm going to be throwing them up soon."

"That's disgusting." Kelso said, shaking his head.

"Just wait till you see it." Donna informed him.

Hyde glared at them, "There's no way Kelso is going to be in the same room with Jackie while she's sick."

Jackie rolled her eyes, "Oh, what are you going to do if he is? Marry a disgusting stripper and catch V.D?"

Hyde was smart for once and didn't say anything.

That night after the rest of the gang left and Jackie decided it was time for bed, she turned off the television, ignoring Hyde's protests and began to walk up the stairs to her room. She could hear Hyde's foot steps behind her and as soon as she got to the top she whirled around and faced him.

"Okay, if you're going to live here, we need to discuss the rules. One, you sleep in the guest room; you do not come into my room at any time, for any reason apart from the house being on fire. Two, if the house does catch on fire and I wake up first, I'm getting me and my baby out of here and you're on your own, three, you will not bring any of your skanky mistresses into my house. Four, if I even hear the words Samantha or stripper coming out of your mouth, you're out. Five and this is the most important so listen closely, Steven. We are not back together; we will never be back together. We might be having a baby together but that's it. Do not think of this as an opportunity to get back together."

Hyde stared at Jackie blankly as she finished her speech. "You done?"

"I think that covers it, yes." Jackie replied.

Hyde leaned forward. Even though he was a step down from her, he was still taller. He looked down at Jackie. "I love you."

Jackie cringed. "Oh god."

Hyde then picked Jackie up by her waist and continued walking up the stairs to the upstairs. He then turned around, kissed Jackie on her nose and placed her carefully down to the floor.

"Night, doll."

As Jackie picked a stray popcorn kernel out of her teeth with her tongue, she longed for the basement. Sure, it was dark, dingy and the couch wasn't that comfortable, but it still felt more like home than her actual home did, even if her friends were all gathered next to her in the entertainment room, watching some boxing match on the wide screen T.V. She imagined that one of the guys getting pummeled was Hyde and felt a tiny bit better.

"Anyone want anything?" She asked as she stood up from her seat on the couch. "Sodas, more popcorn?" she offered.

"I'm good." Donna said as she tossed another piece of popcorn in the air and caught it in her mouth. "Score!"

Kelso and Fez laughed in appreciation of Donna's talents. "I am fine, my fertile goddess." Fez said.

"I could use another cherry cola." Kelso said, holding up an empty bottle. "You sure you can get it?"

Jackie rolled her eyes, "I'm pregnant, doofus, not inept."

Kelso had the decency to look apologetic. "Just making sure."

Jackie laughed and began to walk into the kitchen.

"I need another cherry cola too." Hyde informed her.

"Get it yourself!" Jackie yelled back. "Pig." She added.

Jackie came back with another cherry cola which she handed to Kelso who thanked her.

Hyde sighed and stood up. "Fine."

As he went into the kitchen, Donna shook her head. "Jackie, don't you think you're being a little too mean to Hyde?"

"Donna, stripper." Jackie said.

"Point taken." The blonde sighed.

"Personally, I think I'm being easy on him." Jackie stated, "I'm letting him live in my house and eat my food. The only thing I ask from him is that he leaves me alone."

Several weeks later: or Five Months into Jackie's Pregnancy.

He followed her everywhere. If she went to a doctor's appointment, he went with her.If she went to the store, he went with her. If she went for a walk, he went with her, if she went to The Hub, he went with her. If she went to the mall, he went with her. If she went to the bathroom, well he didn't go with her, but he waited patiently until she came out and then continued to follow her. Doting on her, making sure she was eating properly, that she wasn't overexerting herself, doing any heavy lifting or anything that they said pregnant women weren't supposed to do.

It was safe to say that it was getting on her last nerve, which was why she decided to fight back, Jackie style.

Worse than his stupid rules about how she should go about her pregnancy were the looks he kept giving her, like he actually missed her and loved her. Worse than that was that every night before he went into his room he told her that he loved her.

She was starting to believe him.

This is why she was currently weighing the pros and cons of hitting him on the back of the head with a frying pan.

Pro: Wouldn't have to put up with him anymore.

Con: His body is too heavy for her to drag out and bury in the back yard. Maybe if she called Donna to help?

"How do burgers sound for dinner?" He asked.

"Fine." Jackie didn't want to admit that it sounded really good. She wasn't going to budge, no sir, not an inch.

"Good, I'll go heat up the grill." He stood up and dropped a kiss onto her head. "Love you two."

Jackie took the opportunity to grab the phone and dial Donna's number. "S.O.S" she said as soon as she heard Donna say hello.

"What's he doing now?" Donna asked with a sigh. While she technically understood where her best friend was coming from, and sided with her, she knew that Hyde did regret his mistake and was trying to make up for it. On the other hand though, it was fun to see how long Jackie could hold a grudge.

"It's a code fifteen." Jackie informed her.

"Jackie, I don't know what the codes mean."

Jackie rolled her eyes. "Just get over here." She hung up.

"Was that Donna?" Hyde asked from the doorway. "I've got enough here for a small army, might as well call Kelso and Fez over too… oh and how about the Formans?" He blew her a kiss and walked away.

Jackie stuck her tongue out at his back side.

"This is wonderful, Steven." Kitty complimented Hyde. "Did you make all this yourself?" she gestured to the burgers, side salad and mashed potatoes and fresh cut watermelon.

"Thank you Mrs.Forman." Hyde replied sincerely. "And yes, I did."

Jackie glared at him, "I offered to help."

Hyde grinned cheekily at Jackie. "That's true, but I made her take a nap instead."

"You mean you carried me into my room, put me on my bed and turned off my light." Jackie pouted.

The other's laughed at Jackie's predicament. She just crossed her arms and glared at Hyde.

"So…" Kitty said, trying to ease the tension, "When is your next appointment, Jackie?"

"Tomorrow." She answered.

Hyde coughed, "I thought you said it was Thursday."

"I moved it."

"But I have a meeting with W.B tomorrow."

"I know." Jackie replied. "That's why I changed it." "Would you like to go with me tomorrow, Mrs. Forman?"

Kitty smiled, "I would love to dear, but I have to teach a class tomorrow on safe s.e.x, and I don't think you want to come to that, unless you want to be the what not to do!" she chuckled to herself.

"Donna?"

"Sorry, I have to go in to the station and do inventory." Donna said apologetically to Jackie.

Jackie looked around the table at everyone but Hyde who was smirking at her. "Didn't plan on that did you?"

"I'd go with you." Fez told her, "But tomorrow is supposed to be a busy day at the salon."

"And I just don't want Hyde to beat me up for accidentally seeing your lady parts." Kelso said, instinctively ducking out of the way of Hyde's arm.

"Red?" Jackie tried.

"Shop. Busy. No."

Jackie crossed her arms. "I'll go by myself. I'm perfectly capable of driving to the hospital, alone."

As Hyde sat in his father's office, listening to some record big wig prattle on about record sales, he wondered if Jackie was alright.

"What do you think, Steven?"

I think I'm making a huge mistake. I think I should be with her. I think if she doesn't forgive me soon I might die.

"Sorry, what was that?" he said instead.

"I was just wondering what your thoughts were on this new album."

"I think it's crap." Hyde said honestly, "but people tend to like crap, and you're going to make me sell it anyway, so what difference does my opinion make?"

"Uh, Stan, can you give us a minute?" W.B asked the man who nodded and left.

"Okay, son, what's this about?"

Hyde took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "Jackie's at her doctors appointment now."

"I thought it was tomorrow."

Hyde shook his head, "She moved it to today because she knew I couldn't come, but then she forgot to see if anyone else could go with her."

"So she's by herself?" W.B asked.

"Unless Kelso decided to risk me beating him up, yeah." Hyde didn't smile.

"Hmm."

"What?" Hyde looked at his dad sharply.

"I was just thinking about when Angie's mom was pregnant." W.B replied. "I tried to make it to her doctor's appointments but I always figured that I needed to be at work, making sure the business was successful so that my child would have a future, but looking back, I know I made the wrong choice." W.B sighed and patted his son on the back. "Go, be with Jackie."

Meanwhile, Jackie sat in the waiting room and flipped through an old issue of Cosmo as she waited for her name to be called. She looked around the room at the other expectant mothers.

She was the only one who was alone.

"You keep looking at the door." One of them said to her.

"I am?" Jackie wasn't aware she was looking at anything.

"Is your husband late?"

"I'm not married." Jackie said without thinking. "We just live together." She added quickly, even though she knew that didn't make her sound any better.

"Oh, well, new decade and all." The woman said. "So…is this your first?"

Jackie resisted the urge to smack the woman. "Yes."

"This is our second." Jackie tried to ignore the way the woman said 'our'.

"Jackie Burkhart?" The nurse asked.

Jackie stood up, grateful. "That's me."

"Follow me please."

As Jackie sat in the exam room wearing nothing but a hospital gown, she couldn't help but think about what the woman in the waiting room had said. How dare someone judge her? It wasn't her fault she was going to be a single mother. Shaking her head, Jackie laid down onto the bed.

"Am I late?" Hyde asked as he rushed into the room.

Jackie quickly sat up. "What are you doing here? I thought you had to work!"

Hyde gave a casual shrug, "Ended early, thought I'd come see what you were up to. Has the doctor come by yet?"

Jackie shook her head. "No."

"Good, I haven't missed anything then." He said as he sat down. He could see up her leg to her bare thigh.

"Are you looking up my gown?" She asked.

He was saved by the doctor. "Hello you must be Jackie." He said cheerfully.

Jackie turned on the charm for the young doctor. "Hello."

"I'm Doctor Edmund Black, but you can call me Eddy." "Your regular O.B had to make a conference call."

Hyde snickered under his breath.

"And you are?" The doctor turned to him.

"The father." Jackie said with a grimace. "We're broken up though."

The doctor smiled at Jackie and she smiled back. Hyde folded his arms and glared as Jackie lowered herself onto the bed and put her feet into the stirrups. The doctor put a sheet over Jackie's legs and ducked underneath.

"So, if you're not seeing Fuzzy over there, are you seeing anyone?"

Hyde couldn't believe it. The prick was flirting with her while examining her parts? This was beyond unprofessional. If this didn't deserve an ass kicking, he didn't know what did.

Jackie surprised him though. "Uh, can you ask me that when you're not looking at my vagina?"

The doctor came out and blushed. "Sorry, I have this habit of saying things aloud instead of just thinking them; I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable."

Jackie smiled. "Oh, well, I like a man who isn't afraid to communicate, and no, you didn't make me feel uncomfortable. And to answer your question, no, I'm not seeing anyone."

Hyde coughed to let his presence be known and the two shot him a look.

"Right," he said. "Well, you look good…medically speaking."

"Ohmygod." Hyde cursed. Could his life getting any worse?

"Sorry." The doctor blushed as he put his hands on Jackie's tummy. "Quite active isn't he?"

"Yeah, he's a kicker." Jackie grinned.

"He gets that from you." Hyde stated, feeling jealous the doctor was getting to feel the baby kick and he wasn't.

"Well, let's hope he gets everything from me." Jackie glared at Hyde.

"Yeah that's just what the kid needs; to be five foot tall…it'll be just like Rudy."

Jackie shook her head. "I'm five two."

"With heels, maybe." Hyde scoffed.

"Besides," Jackie continued, "It might be a girl."

"We could find out you know." Doctor Eddy shrugged.

The two ex lovers looked at each other. "Do it!" they said together.

Sometime later, Jackie, Donna and Mrs. Forman were sitting around the Forman's breakfast table looking at a small picture of Jackie and Hyde's baby.

"And see that?" Jackie said pointing, "Those are its arms, and those are its legs, and right there is a little wee wee!"

"Oh, it's so precious!" Kitty giggled. "Red, get in here and take a look at our grandson!"

"I'll see it plenty when it's born!" Red shouted back.

"Red, get in here now!" Kitty yelled. A minute later they heard a sigh and then Red walked in.

"Kitty, I was trying to watch the game." Red complained.

Kitty just held up the picture. "Look Red, that's our little grandbaby."

Red looked down at it, "It looks like an alien."

"You take that back!" Kitty and Jackie reprimanded him.

Red let go of the picture. "What I meant to say is that it's uh, cute… and I'm sure… oh hell. I'm going back to my game." He glared half heartedly at the women and walked back out into the living room.

During this, the guys were sitting down stairs in a peaceful silence that could only be achieved by getting extremely high.

"I saw my kid today." Hyde said thoughtfully, "I saw its head and its body and… I think it even had a fro."

"I remember when Brooke had Betsy…hey; we should set our kids up on a play date!"

"I'm not going to let my son date your daughter."

"Why not, is my daughter not good enough for your son?" Kelso asked.

"Hey!" Fez yelled to stop the arguing. "Now quit it, both of you. We're supposed to be celebrating."

"You're right." Kelso said with a slight pout. "What are we celebrating again?"

"Doesn't matter." Hyde said as he remembered the doctor. "You can call me Eddy… where does he get off asking Jackie out?"

"Man, if you want her, you got to make a grand gesture." Fez advised him.

"Yeah." Kelso agreed, "You got to do something that'll blow her mind…hey, I got it, ask her to marry you!"

Hyde stared at Kelso but before he could say anything, Fez was shaking his head.

"That won't work." The foreigner decreed. "He needs to do something a little more subtle."

"What the hell do you two know about subtle?" Hyde asked, bewildered.

"I am ignoring that comment, thank you." Fez replied haughtily. "But if you want back in Jackie's pants, you have to wine and dine her. Have you tried flowers?"

"Right now I'd settle for her just talking to me again, you know without burning me."

"Ohhhh." Fez said thoughtfully, "You want that?" he shook his head sadly, "I'm afraid I can't help you then."

"But look on the bright side." Kelso said, "At least she doesn't throw up whenever you're in the room anymore."

Fez smiled. "Yeah that was a great burn."

"Baby burn!" Kelso exclaimed, pointing to Hyde who merely rolled his eyes.

That night, after a silent dinner, Hyde followed Jackie up the stairs to her room.

"I thought I told you that you weren't allowed in here." Jackie said as she pulled out her pajamas.

"Are you really going to go out with that doctor guy?" He asked.

Jackie sighed, "Steven, I'm too tired to fight with you right now, can you save it for morning?"

"I'm not trying to fight." Hyde said lightly, "I'm just wondering."

Jackie shot him a look that Hyde couldn't read. "If I told you no, would it help you to sleep tonight?"

"Yes." Hyde admitted.

"Truthfully, I haven't decided if I am or not." Jackie said. "But if I do, it would just be for dinner or coffee, nothing physical and it would just be casual, no strings or complications. I have enough of those in my life already."

"Oh." Hyde wasn't sure if he felt better or not.

"I've noticed you haven't been dating lately." Jackie said casually.

"Why would I?" Hyde asked, a little insulted as Jackie stepped behind her clothing partition to change.

"I didn't mean anything by it." Jackie said. "I just noticed. I don't want to keep you from anything." She came out a minute later wearing nothing but a large tee shirt and fuzzy socks.

Hyde shook his head. "The only thing you're keeping me from is you. You know how I feel about you."

Jackie sighed and sat down on her bed. "Steven…"

Hyde walked up to her carefully, "Can I feel?"

She nodded and he put his hand on her tummy. "He isn't moving right now though."

"Oh." Hyde smiled sadly. "We'll have to start thinking of names soon."

"Yeah." Jackie agreed.

Hyde leaned down and talked to Jackie's bump, "Hey, Sweat Pea, it's your dad. I just want to tell you that you and your mommy love you." He looked into Jackie's eyes, "And I love your mother very much."

"Steven…" Jackie started but Hyde stood up and walked to the door. He then turned around and faced her.

"I know I messed up, and I know I have a lot to make up for, but I mean everything I say to you, Jackie. You're my life and I'm not letting you go." Then he walked out and closed the door behind him.

The next day, Donna and Jackie were at the maternity store buying Jackie some new clothes and things for the baby. Now that Jackie knew the baby was going to be a boy, she was having more fun shopping for his things. She had just finished telling Donna about the conversation she had with Hyde.

"He said that?" Donna asked. She had lied to Hyde and said they were going to do girly stuff so that he wouldn't try to come. Donna understood what Jackie meant by it being annoying. She only hoped Eric didn't act the same way when it was their turn.

"Word for word." Jackie replied as she picked up a tiny blue jumper. "Look at this! Look at the little feet!"

"You do realize that I'm throwing you a shower right?" Donna laughed.

"I know, but that's for things like high chairs and baby swings." Jackie said with a flip of her hair.

Donna laughed, "Right, so back to Hyde."

"He's making hating him really hard, Donna." Jackie complained. "I mentioned how he hasn't dated anyone and the look he gave me; it was like I crushed him."

"Hyde looked crushed? I wish I'd been there to see that." Donna muttered.

"I'm serious, Donna!" Jackie said, "I don't know what to do. It's like ever since he found out that I'm having his kid he's like a completely different person! It used to be that I had to force him to say stuff like that, now he just does it."

"Well, that's what you wanted right?" Donna asked.

Jackie tossed in some bibs into the cart. "Yeah, but how long is this going to last? Until I say I'll take him back? Until the baby is born? I can't trust him, Donna."

Donna sighed, grateful that at least she knew where she and Eric stood, even if he was in Africa.

That night, Donna was getting into bed when she felt something hard.

"Ow!" it cried.

She pulled off the covers to find Eric.

"Eric?"

He smiled sheepishly at her. "Hi."

"What are you doing in my bed?" Donna asked, still in shock. "What are you doing back from Africa, what are you…"

"Long story, involves some chickens, I'd rather not go into it, and I'm not up to seeing my mom and dad yet and I wanted to see you so can we just kiss already?"

Donna grinned. "Okay." They made out for a minute before Donna pulled away and lay down beside Eric.

Eric kissed Donna's head. "So, anything happen while I was gone?"

Donna laughed, "Have I got a story for you."

I thought about breaking Eric and Donna up, but decided Eric needs to be home! If for nothing else than to laugh at Hyde.

Will Hyde make a gesture to get Jackie back? Will she go out on a date with that creepy yet good looking doctor? What about Donna and Eric? And what exactly happened with those chickens?
