A/N: The idea for this chapter came to me so I just had to write it right now. It's short but it's sweet, so I hope you'll like. Hey to my few Guest reviewers thank you and you're awesome I really appreciate all my reviews. It makes me so happy to hear that you like my writing and that you're enjoying the story. I want to do Jackie and Hyde justice they deserve it.

Jackie never fully understood how romantic the seat of a car could be until she found herself in the el camino with Steven. She put her arms around him and pulls him closely whispering softly in his ear, "love you, Steven Hyde."

He is taken aback by her words and is more so surprised that's it's only the second time she's ever said them to him. He wanted to be able to give her something to grasp onto but he couldn't get those three small words to get out of him mouth. They stayed firm on the tip on his tongue.

He could kiss her though and let all the feeling he felt and kept hidden pour out of him and into her. His sunglasses were off and he let his eyes stay on her so that she may see into his soul as he smiles at her words and leans in to capture her lips in his own softly at first and then more forcefully. His fingers graze her jawline taking her face in his grasp.

"Steven." She moans softly while inhaling a lasting breath. "You have to work in ten minutes."

"Damn it!"

"Hey don't worry, I'll see you after okay and we can pick up right where we left off."

"Promise."

"Absolutely."

He kisses her one, two and once more after that quickly before sitting up and starting the el camino. The weather had been getting warmer as spring was setting in and Steven was thankful he didn't have to waste so much gas trying to keep them warm. He puts the camino into drive and pulls away from the lake.


Hotel Lounge

"Ah, the Annual Nurses Convention. You know, according to my bathroom reading, all nurses are actually horny for high school boys." Eric jokes as he, Hyde, Kelso, and Fez stand around the Hotel lounge staring at the sexy nurses of Wisconsin.

"Why do you think those hospital gowns have no backs?" Hyde questions, "it's so the nurses can check out your ass."

"Look at this sexy stampede! It's like 'Wild Kingdom'."

"I will stalk their sexy herd like a lion. I cannot run as fast, but let's see a lion put on this much cologne." Hyde isn't listening to Fez's strange words, he's too occupied with the picture of Jackie wearing a nurses uniform that's bouncing around in his head. Jackie would look damn good in one of those nurses uniforms.

He leaves his friends to start clearing trays to take back to the kitchen when a nurse in a ridiculously inappropriately short uniform steps in front of him. "Hi there. So do you work here?"

"Yeah I'm stuck here all night."

"That's good, cause I'll probably be doing some things I'll regret later if you're interested."

"Nope, not interested, I have a girlfriend I'm rather excited to get home too."

"Well, if you change your mind."

Hyde just turns away and leaves her to continue with Roy and his awkwardness.


Forman's Basement

Hyde had a couple hours off from the hotel kitchen so he made is way back home to have something to eat that he didn't have to make himself. He took a seat on the couch in the empty basement so excited to finally have some peace and quiet.

The basement door opens and he whispers to himself 'please not Kelso, please not Kelso.' working with him and seeing him every other non working minute was starting to drive him crazy especially since eighty percent of his conversations revolved around how he was trying to get Jackie back.

"Hey." Jackie walks through the door much to his relief. She bends over and gives him a light kiss. "How was your day?"

"Ugh, it was brutal. How can nurses wolf down mini pizzas after watching a filmstrip on butt rashes?"

Jackie grabs a candy bar and sits down next to him on the couch. "Yeah, no, I know, Michael and I were hanging at the Hub, and he told me it's been tough."

"What? No, no, no. You don't need to be hanging out with Kelso alone."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't trust him to be alone with you."

"Yeah, but don't you trust me?"

"No! Haven't you been paying attention? I don't trust anything. Not the government, the newspapers, I'm not even sure that what time we think it is, is really what time it is."

"Steven you have to be able to trust me."

"I trust you more than I trust most, okay? But I don't trust Kelso at all. He's obsessed with getting you back and he doesn't know that there's a reason why that can't happen anymore, plus he's just a moron. So I don't trust him to be alone with you."

"All right, but just because I want you to be able to trust me."

"Thank you."

"I do think you're making a big deal out of nothing."

"We'll see. Now I recall a promise being made earlier that's not being kept." His fingers tangle in her hair, kissing her desperately, he catches her arm with his other hand and pulls her against his chest. "Take off your clothes," he growls in her ear. He's already let her go to pull off his own shirt.

"What?" All she wants is for him to keep kissing her.

"Take off your damn clothes, Jackie," he snaps. This time she hears him and starts by wiggling out of her pants while kicking her shoes off at the same time. The second she's standing before him in only her panties and bra, he groans out loud. "God, you're beautiful." One calloused fingertip runs up from her navel, then traces along the cup of her bra. Her chest immediately tightens and there is not enough air in the room anymore.

She blushes and his eyes go molten. A moment later his pants are off and she licks her lips and runs her own hand down his stomach."This is crazy," she says, shivering when he lets out a shaky breath when her fingers wrap around him. "We could get caught here."

"Totally crazy," he agrees. His voice is all grit as he scoops her up into his arms and carries her to her bedroom.
He lowers her onto his bed, sliding one leg up between hers. His hands moves to shove the cups of her bra out of his way.
He nips at her breast and sucks one of her nipples into his mouth, rolling his tongue on it and then tugging on it between his teeth. She arches hard into him, wordlessly as he teases her. Sex between them has always been so goddamn erotic.

"I need you, Doll," he murmurs, trailing his mouth up to her neck. He sucks, sending pleasurable ripples down her and most likely leaving a mark. Her nails dig into his back as he tries to flip them over.

"Please—"

He pins her down, trapping both of her wrists in one hand holding them above her head. "Please what?"

Her hips arch off the bed, "please!" Her voice breaks. "Please Steven!"

"Don't move your hands. If you move your hands, Jackie, I'm going to stop."

She whines and squirms under him, but when he lets go of her wrists, she doesn't move. He trails a slow, hot, tingling path down her body with his mouth. He pauses at each breast, traces his tongue over her navel in a way that makes her gasp and whimper. Then lower...
He drags her panties down and then pins her again, this time grasping her thighs to keep her legs spread wide for him.

"Hyde! Man, we've got to go!" They hear Kelso shouting from the basement. They turn and Hyde looks at the clock.

"Shit. I've gotta get back to work now."

"Can't you be late?"

"Normally yes, but Kelso's in the basement with our discarded clothing."

"Go." He get's up and throws on some jeans before heading out the door. Jackie just throws her head back on the pillow in agony.


Hotel Lounge Bar

Steven spots Mrs. Forman chowing down bar nuts and guzzling martinis at the bar as he left the kitchen for his break. He moves to take a seat on the stool next to her, taking a beer from the bartender.

"Hey, Mrs. Forman. Enjoying yourself there?"

"I am indeed."

"Hey, can I ask you about something? I'm only asking because I'm assuming you'll forget by morning."

"Of course, I'm your mother, you can always come to me."

"So I've been seeing this chick, for a little while now and I really like her. Hell I think I love her but I can't seem to tell her, you know."

"Oh, my poor little broody-brood."

"I've never needed anyone in my life before."

"Well, Steven, of course you do. Everyone needs someone."

"What if she leaves?"

"Does it seem like she wants to leave?"

Steven ponders that for a moment and realizes that Jackie has never given him a reason not to trust her or to make him think she might leave him. "No, I guess not. But I'm not the type of man she's necessarily supposed to be with."

"Steven, you deserve a lot more than you think and you're better than you give yourself credit for. Quit being so quick to give up on things."

"Yeah, you're right."

"You know, when I first met you, you were such a cute little guy. Now you're a great big guy, with great big hair and a great big life ahead of him. Don't be afraid, my little broody-brood." Steven smiles at her and then stands up. "Wait, wait, wait." She picks out a blue cocktail umbrella and places it in his hair. "You may leave me now."

He walks over to the bartender before leaving the bar. "The nurse in the red sweater down there, serve her only virgins for the rest of the night. She's cut off."

As he's heading to the kitchen the nurse from earlier approaches him again and he groans with annoyance. "Hey there, still have that girlfriend?"

"Yeah, and if she were here, she'd kick your ass."

Jackie comes around the corner just seconds after Steven had stood up from the bar and she sees Mrs. Forman playing. "Hey Mrs. Forman, have you seen Steven?"

"Oh, Honey, I've had a couple of sips of wine, and I don't remember."

Jackie spots Steven across the room talking with one of the nurses. "Never mind I see him."

Jackie walks up to Steven in the crowded room and over hears his conversation with the nurse. "Hey, beat it tramp!"

"This your girlfriend?"

"That'd be her." He wraps his arm over Jackie's shoulders kissing her forehead.

The nurse turns a walks away rolling her eyes and muttering under her breath. Jackie spins around so that she's facing Steven. "You told someone I was your girlfriend?"

"Yeah I did. She was hitting on me."

"I saw that."

He bends down and kisses her on her lips in the middle of the room without hesitating or checking his surroundings. He kisses her strongly and it takes her breath away, nearly knocking her off her feet.

"Jackie, I've been trying to tell you this for awhile now."

"Whatever it is Steven, I'm sure it's fine."

"No, Jackie listen."

"It's okay Steven, I know you don't like talking so whatever it is it-"

"Jackie, I love you!"

Jackie goes silent, her eyes are wide and she's just waiting for this to be a dream or something. Maybe he didn't just say that and she misheard him. She leans up on her tiptoes and kisses him on the forehead.

"I love you, Jackie and I should've said so sooner. You deserve to know that you're loved."

"Oh, Steven. I love you too." She kisses him and like always she's surprised by the simplicity of the kiss and how it was more than capable to send them head over heels. Kissing him opens her eyes and her soul to things and it's like she's seeing them for the first time. They lose themselves in the kiss, for the moment they're the only ones in the crowded room.


Forman's Kitchen

8:00 am

Jackie walks into the Forman's Kitchen and sees Kitty sitting at the table sipping her coffee looking less than in good health. Her only company is Steven who's making her breakfast.

"Good morning."

"Hey, your just in time." Steven sets a plate of eggs with bacon and toast on the table in front of Mrs. Forman, startling her. He fixes a plate for himself and Jackie as well.

"Well, thank you Steven."

Mrs. Forman lifts her head and just watches the two exchange pleasantries and start eating their breakfasts. "Alright, I saw something last night but I thought it was a weird dream or something, but now I'm starting to think otherwise. I saw someone who looked an awful lot like you," she points at Steven, "kissing a girl who looks an awful lot like her," she moves her finger to Jackie. "Now I am your mother for all intents and purposes, so don't you dare lie to me. Are you two seeing each other?"

Steven and Jackie just stare at each other knowing they can't lie to her. She's right, she is their mother in one way or another. "Yeah, we are." He says to her softly.

"She's the girl you were talking about last night?"

"Yeah," he turns to Jackie smiling, "she is."

"Good. I knew it! I knew you two were made for each other. Ask Red, I told him."

"Mrs. Forman, I'm glad you know and that you're happy but you can't tell anyone. Okay? No one knows." Jackie says almost pleading that she keeps their secret.

"Yeah, this has been going so well, and the reason it's going well is because it's a secret."

"I'll keep your secret but I want to hear the whole story."

Steven stands up from his seat and kisses Jackie's forehead and then lightly on the lips. "I've got to go to work, so I'll see you later."

"Alright." She watches Steven leave and the turns to see Mrs. Forman's prying eyes.

"I'm waiting, dear."

"So it was a couple weeks after Michael and Donna left for California and Steven and I were in the basement watching The Price is Right."

"Wait, California? You two have been hiding this all year?"

"Yeah and it hasn't been easy. Anyways we kissed that day and then I don't know, things just happened Mrs. Forman."

"Well, alright. I'm glad, Steven needs a woman like you in his life and I always knew he'd figure it out one day."

"I'm glad he did."

"That boy really loves you, you know."

"I do. I know."
