Eric yawned. "Kelso man, this is hell. I can't believe our girlfriends dragged us here."
Kelso sighed in agreement.
"Stop complaining," Donna yelled.
"But Donna why did we have to come?" Eris whined. "I mean I just got back me and you shouldn't be out wedding shopping with Jackie and Kelso."
Donna walked over to Eric, giving him her best Jackie glare. "Eric, I have to be here because when a girl is out shopping for wedding things, the male is never of any importance. So they bring along another girl to get a second opinion. Kelso has to be here because he is the fiancé, and you have to be here to keep Kelso company." Donna explained sighing as if this were obvious.
Eric and Kelso exchanged a look.
"Oh Donna, come here. I think I found the prettiest dress for you." Donna walked over to where Jackie was.
"Jackie, that ones a little frilly for my taste maybe we should keep looking for awhile." Donna said taking one look at the blue puffy dress.
Jackie let out a gasp. "Donna what about this for Eric? As his tux?"
Donna looked it over and a smile broke out across her lips. "It's perfect. Eric come here for a second," She said gesturing him over.
"And I thought being best man would be awesome. I can't believe this is what we are doing right now." He said to Kelso in frustration.
Kelso and Jackie walked through the doors of their apartment. Kelso fell down on the couch in exhaustion.
Jackie went over to the bathroom and came out looking worried. "Michael what day is it?" She asked.
"I think it's the forth." Kelso said.
"Are you sure?" she asked nervously.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure," Kelso, said walking over to the calendar. "Yeah it's the forth." Jackie gulped.
"Seriously?" She asked. Kelso gave her a funny look.
"Is that bad or something?" he asked in confusion.
"It's just I'm-" she stopped. "No everything's fine."
"You sure?" he asked, although he had already left the room deciding that it was.
Jackie sat down on the couch in shock, this could not be happening to her.
Fez sat on the lawn chair in the basement. He looked angrily around the room. "Why am I the only one not in love?" He asked.
He stared resentfully and Donna and Eric snuggling on the couch and Jackie sitting on Kelso's lap.
"Your not the only one." Sam said walking into the room and glaring at Hyde.
"Yeah not by a long shot," he responded.
She shook her head at him. "You are such an asshole."
Hyde nodded. "Yeah, Sam it took you awhile to figure out."
"God, Hyde. You never try to make this work, you have never put any work into this relationship, and it's like it doesn't matter to you." Hyde laughed.
"Sam, you put work into this relationship? Every day you go out and strip for a strange group of men. How is that trying to make our relationship work?"
"What so now it's my job that's the problem?" She screamed. Hyde and Sam had seemed to forget that the rest of the gang was in the basement too.
Hyde stood up angrily. "Sam, your job has always been a huge problem in making this relationship work."
"Hyde, it's my profession," Sam said in an offended tone.
"Your profession?" This made Hyde laugh. "Sam a stripper is not a profession." He said.
"It's funny because before you seemed to really enjoy my job." She said.
"Yeah, well that was before." Hyde said sitting down in his chair.
"Before what? Before Jackie and Kelso got engaged?" The room went silent. Sam started crying. "Hyde you're never going to get her back." She said in between tears. "You can't wait for her forever Hyde. She's moved on. She's getting married." Everyone's eyes were glued to Hyde's except Jackie's who was looking at the floor. "Hyde, were married. I want to make this work. Please let's make this work." She begged.
Hyde stood up and angrily and walked out of the basement slamming the door behind him. An emotional Sam followed him.
"Hyde," she said tears flowing down her face and smearing all her makeup.
He turned around angrily.
"Hyde she's getting married." Sam repeated. "If you still love her, you should have told her a long time ago. What are you going to do when they get married? Are you going to decide that you want her back then? Hyde it's too late."
"Sam I am not going after Jackie she is marrying one of my best friends."
"Stop lying to me," Sam cried.
"What the hell is your problem Sam? Why can't you just accept I am over Jackie?"
Sam stood there; she wiped all of the tears away. "I slept with Kelso."
Hyde stood there waiting for her to answer his question. It took him a few seconds to process what Sam had just said.
He swallowed hard, and glared at her. She waited for a response, staring heartbroken at the ground. "Hyde?"
He shook his head and walked into the basement. The five others were staring at him waiting for him to fill them in on the drama.
"Kelso we need to talk," he said furiously. Eric, Donna and Fez all hearing the furry in his voice scurried out the door. But Jackie stayed still.
"Baby?" she asked Kelso. "You want me to stay?"
Kelso looked over at Hyde and the way Hyde was looking at him gave him the feeling that he knew.
"No Jackie, maybe you should go." He said nervously. Jackie looked unsure but pecked him on the lips and walked out the basement door.
Hyde glared at Kelso. "I can't believe you slept with Sam."
Kelso looked down at his feet. "Hyde man it was… I just… I'm sorry." He finally mumbled.
"Kelso how could you do this? We made a pact remember we wouldn't interfere with each other's relationships? And Jackie? She'll never forgive you. How could you do this to her?"
"Hyde please, don't tell Jackie." Kelso said.
"What so she can live the rest of her life with you in a lie?"
"Look man I get it your upset." Kelso tried calmly.
"Upset? You have got to be insane I'm furious. This is my wife and my best friend." Hyde shook his head.
"Look man, I love Jackie." Kelso said.
"You have a funny way of showing it." Hyde yelled.
"It was a moment of weakness. Not just for me, for Sam too." Kelso said.
"A moment of weakness? Kelso that is such crap."
"Come on Hyde can't you just try to understand? Could you just not tell Jackie please?"
"No Kelso, I can't try to understand. This is my wife. You slept with my wife and you cheated on Jackie. She deserves to know." He said.
Hyde turned towards the door. "Hyde come on," Kelso said. Hyde turned around and punched Kelso in the face. He left Kelso lying on the ground, moaning about his eye.
Eric Forman walked into his basement about an hour and a half later; he spotted his friend sitting on the coach with an icepack to his face.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Hyde," Kelso grunted in an irritated voice.
"Ah," Eric said opening the freezer to get a Popsicle, he didn't ask any more questions.
After a few minutes of silence Kelso looked up at his friend.
"Eric can I talk to you about something?"
Eric frowned. "I don't know Kelso. Is it another one of your inventions because you know that that rollercoaster that goes up to the moon is impossible remember we explained that to you?"
Kelso rolled his eyes. "Not that, even though that's totally possible. But I wanted to ask someone who's been in a serious relationship for years. How do you deal with it? Always being tied down to one girl."
"Are you having a hard time trying not to cheat on Jackie?" Eric asked.
"Yeah. It's hard to stay loyal. I mean come on Eric you must have slipped up at least once when you've been with Donna. It's been like four years."
Eric shook his head. "In all the time that me and Donna have been together I have never cheated on her."
"You've never slipped up once?" Eric shook his head. "You've never thought about it."
"I've joked about it. I find other people attractive, but when you love someone, you don't cheat on them because you don't feel the need to cheat on them. I love Donna too much I could never put her through the pain of all of that, and I don't want too." Eric said.
"Not once?" Kelso asked in a nervous voice.
"No man I just said I haven't. Why is this such a big deal? Its not like…." Eric stood up in shock. He was pointed a finger at Kelso. "NO, you didn't?" Kelso slowly nodded his head. "Kelso you dumbass." He said sounding like his father.
"Eric I feel so guilty. It was just one of those moments when you do something without thinking and I feel so bad." Eric was standing there in shock.
"Man how could you do this to Jackie? You guys were finally at a good point in your relationship. You guys are getting married. How could you cheat on her?"
"It just happened. Sam and I were just both upset and…"
"You and Sam? Kelso NO. What the hell is wrong with you man?" Kelso shook his head. "Kelso Hyde is going to kill…Oh so that's why he wanted to talk to you. Oh god Hyde knows?"
"Yeah, he went to tell Jackie. I don't know what I am going to do. It meant nothing and I do really love Jackie, but I don't think she's ever going to forgive me after this."
Eric winced. "Kelso this is bad, I don't think you are going to be able to get out of this one."
Kelso sat down on the coach and covered his face with his hands. "I just wish Hyde wouldn't tell her."
Hyde knocked on Jackie and Kelso's apartment door. "Jackie?" he called.
Jackie opened the door looking slightly surprised to see him. "I haven't seen Michael since we were in the basement awhile ago."
Hyde noticed the tear stains on her cheeks. "I'm not looking for Kelso I have to talk to you about something."
Jackie looked confused. "Um okay," she said. "Look Hyde, is this about what Sam was saying earlier today about you and me. Cause honestly it's fine, she was just upset I know what she said isn't true."
"No it's not about that. It's about something else."
"Oh okay," she said. "Continue then."
"Jackie while I was talking to-"
Jackie interrupted him. "So you haven't seen Michael around lately have you?"
Hyde blinked at her. "Last time I saw him he was in the basement an hour and a half ago."
"Oh, okay," Jackie, said looking at the door nervously.
"Anyway as I was saying-" Hyde started but Jackie interrupted yet again.
"It's just I really need to talk to him."
"Jackie I know something that's going to really affect you and Kelso's relationship." Hyde said.
To his surprise Jackie burst into tears.
"How did you find out?" Jackie said in between sobs.
"Find out what?"
Jackie looked up at him with sadness. "That I'm pregnant."
Okay sorry for the delay. I went up for a vacation for a week over Spring break and when I got back my computer was in the shop. And of course when it comes back from the shop it is still broken, but I finally found the time to write this story. Anyway please review this next chapter:)
