Chapter 11-A Talk with Red and God
Previously
Jackie laid still on the hospital bed, unconscious.
Hyde stood his ground but was ultimately escorted into the waiting room, where his friends and family were waiting for him.
"You can't do this! Tell me what's going on! Jackie!" Hyde yelled through the door.
"Steven, sweetie? What's wrong?" Kitty asked Hyde.
The rest of the gang looked at Hyde, asking themselves the same question, but never vocalizing it.
"Something's wrong Mrs. Forman. Something's wrong with Jackie and the baby and they won't tell me what." Hyde responded, panicked and worried. A way no one had ever seen him before.
"Oh my God Steven." Kitty rushed to him and pulled him into a tight hug.
For the first time Hyde accepted her hug with no complaints.
"Steven, I know this is hard, but the doctor will be out soon, and he'll tell you what's going on, ok?"
"They just expect me to wait? They kicked me out after seeing my son for ten seconds and now they expect to wait to tell me if I still have a son?" Hyde responded angrily.
"Steven it's the only thing you can do." Kitty told him.
"Whatever." Hyde said and sat down in a plastic chair, looking incredibly pissed off and worried.
At that moment Kelso came up to the gang with a can of Coca Cola.
"So what I miss?" He asked innocently.
"Jackie and Dylan are in trouble and no one will tell me why." Hyde responded in Zen.
"Kick ass!" Kelso screamed.
Everyone looked at Kelso with shocked faces.
"Not about Jackie and the baby, that blows. I won the pool." He responded with a goofy smile on his face.
Everyone rolled their eyes, but a pissed off Hyde leapt out of his chair and tackled him. Hyde rolled over so he was on top of Kelso punching him, unleashing all the anger he felt onto his dumb friend.
"Oww, my eye!" Kelso said.
Red and Eric went to pull Hyde up, but were interrupted by a voice by the delivery room door.
"Steven Hyde?" Dr. Patton asked.
Hyde jumped off of Kelso as if he had been scalded with hot water and ran to the door.
"Doc what the hell happened? Is Jackie ok?"
"Jackie is fine. She just passed out from exhaustion. She's awake now if you want to go see her."
"Yeah, that's great. What about the baby though?"
"The fever went down, but his lungs haven't developed very well, and he's really weak. We're going to keep him for awhile. That's all I can tell you." She said sympathetically.
Hyde nodded, and walked into Jackie's room.
Dr. Patton turned to walk away, but Red walked in front of her.
"What are the odds?" He asked urgently.
"I don't know what you mean."
"What are the baby's odds of surviving?"
"I can only talk to family."
"I am Steven's father and that baby's grandfather."
"I'm sorry. The baby has a fifty maybe sixty percent chance of survival. There's a chapel on the third floor. It couldn't hurt."
Red nodded and thanked her silently.
"So what's going to happen?" Eric asked.
"I don't know honey." Kitty responded.
While the gang sat worried about Jackie and Hyde, Hyde had sat down on Jackie's bed.
"Steven, I'm sorry I hurt the baby." She sobbed into his shoulder.
"Jackie! Dollface, this isn't your fault. You didn't do anything wrong. These things just happen. Ok?"
Jackie sobbed again. Hyde grabbed her shoulders and pushed her head up to look at him.
"Hey look at me. This is not your fault. You did nothing wrong. Dylan's early and he's going to be here for awhile, but everything's going to be ok. I promise."
"Ok."
"You were amazing today, Jackie. I was so proud of you."
"Really? Thank you Steven."
"Jackie, I love you."
Jackie had a shocked look on her face.
"I love you too Steven."
After awhile Jackie went to sleep, and Hyde left the tiny room, and ran into the gang.
"Jackie's sleeping but Donna, Mrs. Forman will you stay with her so she doesn't wake up alone?"
"Of course." They said in unison.
"Where are you going Hyde?" Eric asked him.
"I'm going to take a walk and get something to eat."
They all nodded their heads accepting his answer.
Hyde walked out and around the corridor. He walked slowly with no destination in mind.
Getting food. Like I could really eat anything right now. It's taking all I have not to bring everything I've eaten back up.
Hyde walked around the hospital for ten minutes, and walked outside the parking lot for another twenty while he smoked cigarette after cigarette. When he had emptied the pack he walked back inside and continued his aimless walk. Hyde stopped walking when he came to the door in front of the chapel.
Huh. What the hell?
Hyde walked inside the chapel and noticed that there was no one in there. Hyde went in and sat down on a padded wooden pew. He looked at the book beside him.
The Holy Bible. Yeah, ok.
Hyde suddenly stood up and stormed to the make shift alter.
"Alright look God. I don't know if you're real or fake, if you control things or you sit around fucking with everyone's lives. You've given me a pretty shitty life if you do have any control over things. So you've never been there for me, and I never whined to you, in fact I've never asked you for anything so in my book that means you owe me one."
Hyde took a deep breath from the screaming he'd been doing at the ceiling.
"Jackie's never done anything to you, and that baby has never done anything. That baby means everything to Jackie."
Hyde took a pause.
"Jackie and Dylan are the only things I have. Don't take my son away from me! Do you understand don't take my son away from me!" Hyde yelled at the top of his lungs. He wiped his nose and rubbed away the tears that were in his eyes.
Hyde turned around and ran into Red's chest. Hyde looked at him and pulled him into a hug. Hyde stood emotionless and then put his arms around Red and gave him a hug.
"This is a bad situation, and I'm sorry this is happening to you. The doctors are doing everything they can, you have to have some faith."
Hyde slightly gasped at being called son, and squeezed Red a little tighter, Red hugged back and patted Hyde's back. The two men pulled apart and looked a little awkward.
"Now, Jackie's probably awake now, why don't we go back and see her."
Hyde nodded, and moved to walked towards the elevator.
"Oh and Steven, if you tell anyone about this my foot will be so far up your ass God won't be able to help you."
Hyde smirked and nodded.
"Yes sir."
Red nodded and pushed the button to the third floor.
"Thanks Red."
"You're welcome son."
Hyde smiled a genuine smile as the elevator's doors closed.
A/N: So I know it's been forever and you're all mad at me, and it was short, but please review. Please. Please? Thanks guys.
