A/N: Hello guys, Hope your enjoying the series! Keep reading and reviewing ma cherie's!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THAT 70'S SHOW.
It had been a one and a half months since Jackie and Hyde heard the news that they were expecting twins, and all of their friends had also heard. Of course, they were excited but Jackie was incredibly scared. That meant, she'd be twice the size than with one child growing within her.
Jackie was now almost four months along, and her stomach was extremely visable. She was thinking about how obvious it'd be at school the next month.
Hyde sat on the couch eating a huge bowl of cereal, watching the Price Is Right with Jackie. But she wasn't really concentrating. Instead she was flipping through her cosmo magazine. He crunched loudly, talking to the television.
"Idiot! Why would you only go 11,000 dollars? You got a car, a vacation, and a sailboat!" He said, more to himself, shaking his head. Jackie laughed out loud at his utter seriousness. He looked at her, sarcastically laughing all with her,
"Hah hah, Jackie. But you have got to admit that's a stupid bet." She smiled at him, nodding. The tv turned to a commercial, and Hyde went back to eating his food. He stood up, and walked over to the counter next to the fridge, setting his bowl down for someone to clean eventually. Jackie finished her magazine when he returned, and just before he sat down, she tried to stand up.
Hyde wasn't even thinking about what she was doing, seeing that the show was back on, and heard her burst into tears. He sighed quietly, and looked over at her.
"What's wrong Jack Jack?" She tried to speak, but tears racked her body. He scooted over, reaching his arm around her frail shoulders.
It was amazing really. She was four months along, her belly pretty far out considering she was carrying two children, but the rest of her body was the exact same. Still had her long lean legs, and still had those long skinny arms. She looked amazing, but she of course always disagreed.
"It's happened!" She said rather loud. Hyde looked at her quizzically,
"What the hell Jackie? What's happened?" He sighed, trying to have patience for the pregnant teen.
"Just watch Steven!" She exclaimed, and tried to stand up, only to fall back down to where she was before, "Don't you see?" She asked, her eyes wet with tears. He didn't get it. Girls were so damn confusing when they were pregnant.
"It happened three days ago! I can't believe you haven't even noticed!" She continued, not saying what "it" was exactly. He leaned over, and gripped her shoulders slightly,
"Baby Doll. Answer me now. Get to the point. What happened?" He said, shaking her with each sentence,
"I can't stand up by myself anymore! This huge belly weighs me down!" She sighed sadly. Hyde couldn't help himself though, he just burst out laughing. She glared at him, crossing her arms above her belly. He just laughed even harder, starting to become silent with his laughter.
She watched him for a few more minutes, his laughing not ceasing. It made her crack a tiny grin, and he looked up, pushing his fingers under his glasses.
She saw him wipe away tears, and she started to let loose the laughter building in side her throat. When he heard her laughing, he grinned wildly, slapping his knee with his palms, trying not to choke.
They flopped back on the sofa, each silent with laughter, and Fez ran through the door. When they saw his outfit, they cracked up even worse.
"Ohh Hyde.." Fez lisped, "You and Jackie didn't get into the.. stash, did you? Ohh you naughty people." He sighed sadly, but Jackie and Hyde froze, locked eyes, and Jackie squealed in a fit of giggles. Hyde was wheezing now, and Fez stood there with a stupid grin,
"Oh my.. I didn't know I was so funny with the ladies," He grinned, trying to sound seductive.
Now the three of them were laughing nonstop, and Eric walked in casually with a popsicle in hand.
"Oh my god... You guys found my old baby doll stash from when I was a baby.. didn't you?" He asked, horrified at them finding out. But all three stared at him with odd looks. He swallowed and cursed under his breath.
"Pffftt!" Hyde sputtered, dying at the thought of Jackie not standing up, Fez's outfit, and Eric with dolls. Jackie's face wet with tears, and she covered her mouth.
A few minutes, and the group were laughing in harmony, Jackie holding her stomach at the end.
"Whoo..." She sighed. Eric's face was a bright red, and he waved to them, running to his room to hide his dreaded dolls.
"Fez, why the hell do you have that on?" Hyde asked still chuckling lightly. He truly hadn't laughed that hard in a while.
"I have a date tonight lady and gentleman." He grinned wickedly. Jackie motioned to Hyde to help her up, and Hyde let out a laugh whilst pulling her up slowly.
She rolled her eyes, pressing her other hand into the small of her back, and smacked his chest. He pulled a straight face, standing straight. He winked, and sat back down with the remote.
"Who's going to risk her life tonight Fez?" Jackie smiled brightly at her friend, walking over to a higher up seat, sitting on the edge of it.
"Ready for this?" He lisped happily, and she urged him on, "Jessica Plack!" He grinned wildly. He got a popular girl this time.
"Jessica? Why didn't she tell me?" She asked out loud, and walked over to the phone, calling her friend.
Fez sat down, and Hyde looked over at him,
"Don't those pant's hurt your ass and crotch?" He asked honestly. Fez retorted,
"Of course not stupid, if anything, they enhance your surroundings!" He giggled, waggling his eyebrows. Hyde rolled his eyes behind his glasses, and saw Jackie walk back in, his eyes trailing down to her adorable belly.
"Fez, you'll have to get out of here, because Jessica's going to be here in five minutes to get ready for your date. I'm helping her." She winked at him, walking up the steps slowly. Fez shrugged his shoulders, and walked out, leaving Hyde to peace and quiet for the final minutes of the Price is Right.
Just as the credits were rolling for the show, he saw Jessica walking up to the porch,
"Jessica's here Jackie!" He called to the steps, and he heard her yell back,
"I'm to tired to go back down those dreadful steps, have her come to my room." He shook his head to himself, and heard the doorbell ring. He sighed and jogged over.
See, he didn't really like Jessica. Sure she was nice to him and all, but she was just another one of those blonde bimbo clones in all respect.
"Jackie's upstairs," He immediately said as he opened the door. He didn't really want to talk. But her eyes opened in surprise at him standing before her.
"Oh! Steven!" She smiled, and he felt uncomfortable. Only Jackie called him that. He smiled, and she walked past him, brushing her body on him. He froze, and heard her call to him,
"Going to shut the door, Steven?," She called out, almost in a flirtatious tone? No, she was Jackie's friend of course she wouldn't.
"Huh? Oh yeah.." He grunted, and shut the door. He looked back and she was sitting on the couch. Didn't he just tell her Jackie was upstairs?
"Um.. Jackie's up in her room Jessica." He said, itching his head awkardly, and he walked over to his seat, grabbing the remote. He tried to remain zen, but she didn't move an inch. She leaned over, her breasts looking as though they'd fall out of her shirt.
That type of thing used to be turned on by that, but when he saw that she wasn't Jackie, and she was a pale, almost unattractive girl, he felt nothing. He almost smiled in pride at himself. But she whispered to him,
"But your down here Steven," She said, dangerously close to his mouth, but Hyde thought fast. He scooted to the edge of his seat, trying to get away from her.
"Jessica, what the hell?" He growled, he was getting annoyed now. He heard Jackie come to the edge of the steps calling out,
"Is Jessica coming up Stev-" But she stopped, because she saw Jessica leaning onto Hyde seductively, her mouth on his lips. She stood up quickly, looking away, just in time to see Hyde shove the blonde girl off of him.
"Jessica! What the fuck!" He growled, and she smirked stupidly. But her smirked disappeared when she saw Jackie going as fast as she could down the steps.
"Back stabbing bitch!" She shrieked, and ran over to the blonde girl. She grabbed her hair, and pulled it down quickly and harshly. Jessica squeaked out, and reached for Jackie's hair behind her head. She pulled it back, making Jackie's head bend back uncomfortably.
Jackie smacked her next, her nails scratching her cheek.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Steven is my man Jessica!" She shrieked, but Jessica replied in a snooty tone,
"We all know that one Jackie. Couldn't keep your legs closed sweetie?" She said, in a sarcastic sing-songy tone, poking her pregnant belly. Jackie reddened, and sneered,
"You told the girls?" She said thinking about all the other cheerleaders gossiping about her. Jessica smirked,
"Well they were wondering if you would be captain again, and I simply replied with a question, "How's she gonna do a flip with a belly in the way?'" She smiled triumphantly.
"Get out!" She shrieked, and Jessica rolled her eyes, pausing next to Hyde.
"See you around Steven." Hyde walked away from her awkwardly. He heard the door shut, and he looked up at Jackie,
"You bastard.." She whispered sadly. He tried to explain, but she held her hand up to him to silence him. She walked to the steps of the basement, and he followed her trail,
"Jackie! You know I'd never do that! She came onto me I swear!" He sighed angrily, "You really think I'd do something that low?" Sounding annoyed. She snapped her head around when she reached the middle of the basement.
"How should I know Steven? I don't think she'd ever do that on her own!" She shrieked. Hyde looked at her in disbelief, and stomped over to the refrigerator grabbing a beer yelling at her over his shoulder,
"Oh that's fantastic Jackie, your blaming me for something you know I'd never do to you. Besides I have always hated girls like that, and you know that well. I'd have thought you'd kno-" He stopped turning around to glare at her, but her face caught his attention.
She was doubled over, and her face scrunched in unbearable pain. She was clutching her belly, and she had hot tears rolling down her makeup covered face.
"Jackie, seriously?" He sighed, thinking she was overreacting "This isn't that serious. It was a stupid kis-"
"Shut. The fuck. Up." She groaned in pain. He walked over to her and pulled her face to him, but her eyes were still closed shut tightly.
"What's wrong Jackie?" He asked, worried that she wasn't faking.
"Something's wrong Steven.. Something.. God it hurts.." She moaned in sheer pain.
He looked down and his eyes widened at what he saw. She was clutching her stomach, but her jeans were spreading with a dark color. Was that?..
Blood?
"I.. Um.. Jackie.. You.. Blood." He stuttered, becoming sick. She looked down and screamed a blood curdling scream.
"Steven! What's happening?" She cried out. He just stood there looking at her, not sure what to say to her.
"I.. erm.. I think we need to go to the hospital now." He said. Blood during pregnancy didn't seem like a good thing to him. Hospitals dealt with both things didn't they.
"Come on Jackie," He said reaching for her hand, but she didn't take it,
"I'm still mad you know." She whispered. He stopped, looking at her,
"Jackie, I need to get you to the hospital. This could be some thing serious," He said, resting his hand on her belly. She groaned, and nodded reluctantly. What was going on to her? She gulped back, and tried to walk, but screamed out in pain at trying to open her legs.
He swiftly picked her up in his arms, and took the steps out, that laid the way to the drive way. He sat her down onto his passenger seat, grabbing a t-shirt from the back for her to seat on incase she bled more. She adjusted herself, her head between her knees the entire car ride.
He had to stop twice to let her vomit outside the car, until he actually got to the hospital.
They reached the entrance, and he parked, and helped her out of the car again. He looked at the shirt and saw more blood had come from her. He was getting scared now.
He picked her up again, and jogged carefully to the door.
He reached a desk, and told the receptionist what happened. The nursed rushed them to the E.R. and Hyde swallowed in fear. The emergency room?
They laid her onto a rolling cot, and he walked beside her, and watched them give her a shot in her wrist. She winced, but her eyes begin to shut,
"What did you do to her?" He asked, suddenly angry. A doctor walked beside him and told him it was to help her calm down, and to have her fall asleep so they could see all that was happening.
"This way she'll feel no pain." He reassured Hyde. The curly haired teen looked down at his girlfriend, who was drifting off to sleep.
"Don't leave me alone here Puddin' Pop." She said, grinning a lop-sided smile. He smiled down at her, but realized she was out cold. Suddenly, the cot was shoved into a room, and the doctor stopped him.
"Can't come in here son. We need to check on her without another useless body in the room." He smiled warmly, but Hyde interrupted him,
"What are you going to do to her?"
"We just need to find out, what exactly's going on." He smiled at the boy,
"Will she be alright?" Hyde whispered quietly, more to himself than the older man.
The doctor looked at him, and simply replied,
"I'll be back to talk with you soon."
The doctor disappeared into the E.R. room, and left Hyde standing in the hallway.
Hyde's heart was racing with fear. He suddenly realized he needed to tell the formans where they were.
He ran to the phone down the hall, sliding a few quarters into the slots.
He heard the phone ring for a few times, until Kitty's shrill voice answered it. He winced and pulled it away lightly.
"Mrs. Forman? You gotta get down to the hospital now. Jackie.. she was bleeding.. I.. Just get down here. The doctor hasn't told me anything yet.
He felt numb in the chair he was seated in, as he waited for Kitty and Red to arrive.
Everything was foggy, and the noises he heard were muffled.
He almost didn't even realize that when Kitty arrived, she had brought him into a tight hug. He briefly felt Red pat him on the back, but he didn't move.
Hyde ran his fingers through his mangy curls, staring down at the floor. Kitty was babbling away to Red, and they all sat in suspense.
"Hyde." Kitty said suddenly, her voice dropping down to a quiet sound.
He looked up, and she nodded her head down the hall. There stood the doctor, motioning for Hyde to come down the hallway,
He practically sprinted his way, but saw that the old man had a solemn expression.
"You can come see her now son." Hyde wanted to know what happened though. He walked into the room, and saw Jackie laying in the bed, fast asleep.
They had monitors around her, needles pressed into her everywhere. His eyes watered up with tears at the sight,
Her skin was much paler than usual, bags forming under her eyes. Her eyeliner was smudged slightly from tears, and her lips were puffy.
"What happened to her?" Hyde asked, just staring at her limp body.
"I'm sorry son, but she lost one of the babies."
Hyde's head snapped up at the doctor.
"What?" He asked a bit harshly.
"We are lucky she only lost the one. Her body was just too young and not fully matured to carry two babies all by herself. This type of things happens, but usually the girl looses both children. You've got a strong girl here Mr. Hyde." He smiled sadly. But Hyde was simply heartbroken, and he knew Jackie wouldn't ever forgive herself for what happened to her unborn child.
"When will she wake up?"
"Oh very soon I guess, you can wait her if you like Sir... And I am truly sorry for both of you kids. I understand this must be really difficult for you and-"
The doctor continued, but Hyde spaced out. He didn't want to hear it. He really didn't. He just wanted to be with her right now.
The doctor finished his rambling, and walked out of the door, leaving the two teenagers alone.
"Jack Jack.." He whispered, sitting down next to her bed. He ran his fingers over her porcelain face, and looked at her belly. There was only one child growing now.
He sat for a few minutes, just studying her every move.
Each twitch of her eyelids,
Each movement of her fingers,
Every squinting of her eyebrows.
Until those pretty mismatched eyes flashed open, her body freezing in shock. Hyde jumped a few inches, and looked at her.
"Steven?.. What happened?"
