A/N: Here's another chapter for you! Let's get some new reviews going people! :D
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THAT 70'S SHOW.
Hyde turned the doorknob to the Forman's house, and was relieved to see it was unlocked. They never really locked the door anyways, but the thought had crossed his mind. His eyes scanned the room, and saw that it was empty. He stepped into the living room, setting down the bags Kitty had sent their friends to give them. He realized it was actually pretty late at night, and he glanced at the clock on the wall. 9:12. Kitty always had this thing about going to bed at 9 when she could, so they'd probably just fallen asleep. He turned around, and saw Jackie hunched over. He walked up behind her, and saw her watching a spider crawling on a web above her.
"Steven!" She shrieked, and Hyde laughed. But then she flashed him a- "Don't you dare laugh, our I'll shove my foot up your ass." Kinda look, and he immediately cleared his throat. He realized that she wasn't going to move until he did something about it.
"Kill it!"
"How? It's hanging in mid air Jackie."
"I don't know! Just get rid of it!"
"Jackie, if I swat it, it'll just swing your way."
"NO! Don't do that! Take my shoe!"
"Jackie, just walk beside it."
"But what if it swings over onto me, climbing on my shoulder?"
"Jackie. It won't. Come on, I want to go put this stuff away."
"Noooo! Steven, come on!"
"Jackie you spazz at the smallest things ever. Seriously just walk around it."
"Steven, if you don't do something about that stupid spider... I swear you'll regret it."
"The spider's not stupid, you overreacting is stupid. It won't hurt you."
"Steven, fucking, Hyde. I swear I'll go pregnancy bitch on you."
"You can't pull that pregnant bull on me Jack-"
He had to stop mid sentence, when he realized Jackie had kicked him in his shin.
"Fuck Jackie! Come on!" He groaned.
"You better get rid of it then, shouldn't you." She said, bitchiness in her tone.
"You seriously want me to get it down?" He warned.
"Yes?" She snapped, "I wouldn't be standing here still if I didn't." She hissed.
"Alright then." He said, he grabbed her shoe she had previously kicked off her foot, and swung it at the spider. As he had told her, it was swung her way, and she shrieked loudly. She ran backwards, and yelled profanities at Hyde.
Through all of the ruckus, the spider had fallen in front of Hyde and he'd squished it. He was laughing loudly, but Jackie was not amused.
She shoved past him, her shoulder knocking against his. He grabbed for her arm, but she ripped it from his grasp.
"I was joking Jackie! Oh come on!" He laughed with an airy voice. But she stayed silent.
"Jaaackie." He sing-songed to her, and she stood her ground. She started to walk away, and Hyde grumbled to himself. She could be a real bitch sometimes. Then he realized, it was just really bad right now because she was pregnant. He really should've just dealt with the spider and moved on. But with them both being stubborn, they gave each other the silent treatment.
He walked a few steps ahead, and hear the basement door open, slam, and then rough footsteps followed. He ran his hand over his forehead, and heard more footsteps.
"What the hell is all the noise down here?" He heard a gruff voice yelling from the steps, and saw Red standing with Kitty. Who was holding a bat with her dear life.
"Oh Red." She said with her familar voice. "It's just Hyde and Jackie fighting. Again." Red just nodded, and went back upstairs. Kitty however ran down, and ran to hug the boy standing at the door.
"It's good to see you home Steven." She greeted, and Hyde smiled at her. "Go fix whatever you two hard heads just fought about. You have to remember she can't contol all of her emotions all of the time." She sighed, patting his leather jacket. He sighed and nodded, and told her goodnight.
He watched the older woman dressed in her red robe, walking back up the steps. He rolled his head, cracking his neck and pulled off his sunglasses. He stuffed them into his pocket, and grabbed the bags around his ankles.
He walked through the hallway, and pulled the door open. The light to the basement was off, so he walked with instincts. He'd walked down into the room with no light many times before. Usually sneaking in when he was already supposed to be home.
He peaked around the couch, and saw his.. well their.. bedroom door cracked open, the light apparently on in there.
He pushed it open slowly, and looked up. Jackie sat on the bed, in her silk maternity gown, the fabric just above her knees. The spaghetti straps black just like the gown, the right strap fallen to the side. She was brushing her silky hair, and Hyde realized how pretty she looked.
She didn't look up at him, but knew he had entered the walked over to the chair in front of the mirror she'd set on the floor when she'd moved in with him.
He tossed the bags to the side of the bed, and saw Jackie sigh. He could see her little spine poking through her gown, and she continued to brush the same piece of hair a bit roughly. He rubbed the back of his neck, and walked over to her. He sat on the edge of the bed, the chair she sat in just in front of him.
He didn't even know what to say. He always sucked at making up with her, but he knew it always happened. He reached out, but she pulled her shoulder from him. She spun smoothly around in a circle, hopping off her chair. She made her way over to the bags he'd previously thrown to the side of the bed, and he groaned loudly.
"Jackie.. Come on.. I'm sorry I acted like a dill hole." He tried, but she remained silent.
She pulled the bag open, and pulled only her clothing out, and she put them into her side of the dresser. She dumped the remaining clothes of Hyde, next to his body. He threw the bag onto his lap.
She left the room, and turn the basement light on. He hopped off the bed following her.
"Jackie, can we just talk?" He grumbled but she sighed, opening the freezer. She pulled out a tray of ice, and Hyde sighed knowing what she was doing. She had a habit of smashing ice into a bowl to eat at night while they talked.
"Jackie I-"
SMASH.
"Jackie! Come on, just list-"
CRUSH.
"Doll! Come on!"
"Steven! Stop!" She suddenly shrieked. "Just stop, and let it go." Hyde just stood there listening to her crush the ice with the pan in the sink.
"But your still mad, I can tell." She sighed, and lifted the pan.
"Why didn't you just get rid of the spider?"
"... Jackie... I said I was sorry! And I mean it! It was just a little spid-"
"This isn't just about a spider, Steven." She spoke dreadfully low, "It's the principle! Why wouldn't you just do a little thing like that for me? I don't get it. What else are you not gonna do for me? Or our child?" She spoke, and Hyde sighed. He was so tired of the pregnancy hormones. But something told him, that this was something more.
"Jacks, what is this about?" But she just turned away from him angrily. He just didn't understand what she was thinking about. There was no way.
"Fine Jackie, don't talk to me. Couldn't care less." He said, lying through his teeth. And she knew that. She knew he did care, but to proud to admit to that. She heard him walk away, and he slammed the door to his room.
Hyde flopped onto his bed, and looked up to the ceiling. He heard her continue to slam the pan down onto the ice. He realized she probably had crushed the entire tray full of ice cubes. She was just relieving her anger probably.
"Why does she have to be so stubborn?" He thought angrily to himself.
"The better question is, why do you have to be so stubborn?" His mind spoke to himself.
He blinked his eyes closed, and felt sleep drifting onto his tired mind.
All he did was open his eyes, feeling like he'd just closed his eyes, but realized it was now 11 at night. And Jackie still wasn't with him. He needed to go check on her.
He walked out the door, and saw her huddle in the corner, and he saw that her eyes were glistening with tears. She hadn't even fallen asleep yet.
Her back pressed to the fridge, he saw that she had her legs spread out eagle style, looking very much like a pouty little girl. He walked over, and kneeled down onto his toes, his elbows resting on his knees.
"Jackie, come to bed.. Please?" He said desperately. He hated being in a fight with her. She suddenly flashed her face up to him, and she searched his blue eyes.
"Do you ever get tired of me?" She spoke so quietly he had to lean closer to hear him.
"Well, of course I do. But that makes me love you more." He smiled brilliantly at her, but it didn't work. She only looked more saddened.
"Jackie, what the hell is this all about?"
"Do I ever annoy you?" She spoke again.
"Of course. Just like I annoy you." He said, sliding his body to lean against the counter beside her.
"No, I mean really annoy. To the point.. where you'd ever cheat on me again." Hyde growled, and pushed his hands to his eyes.
"Jackie, please. I explained to you that I was so sorry about that. It was nothing to me. Besides I thought about you the whole time, and you wouldn't believe the guilt that ate at my gut Jacks." He explained, his voice sounding tired.
"But what if it does happen again?" She spoke softly, fearing his answer.
"Jackie, I lost you one time, and you know I'd die if I ever lost you again." He said quietly, wishing they weren't even on this topic again.
"Steven. I need you to promise me, that you'll never do that to me again. You tore my heart open." She spoke softly, her eyes glistening with hot tears. Hyde looked at her, and within a second he spoke,
"I promise Jackie." She sighed, resting her head against the fridge.
"Come on, let's go to bed." He said, standing up slowly, reaching out a hand for her.
"Hyde.. I.. um, I want to stay here for a little." He mumbled.
"Why?" Hyde questioned. "Your ass will get sore, and you ran out of ice." He said, pointing to the empty bowl by her side. She cleared her throat and mumbled something incoherent to Hyde.
"What was that?" He said softly.
"I..can't..get..so..." She said, the words in between the audible words sounding like nonsense.
"Jackie!" He snapped.
"I can't get up anymore. I'm and totally useless waist down." She sighed. Hyde laughed again, knowing how she probably had tried a little bit ago.
"Is that why you've been out here all this time?" He laughed, but she sneered at him,
"No! Well.. yes. But I was still thinking!" She snapped, and he swallowed trying to keep her not angry with her anymore.
He reached out a hand, and she grabbed it. She held her lower back, and tried to stand but failed. He saw tears spread through her eyes.
"I hate this!" She suddenly shrieked.
"If you let me get you up Jacks, I'll let you tell me everything you hate.. in our bed. Just let me get you there." She nodded through tears, and he roughly pulled her up. He pulled her into his arms, her pregnant belly grazing his chest. She was crying into his shoulders the entire few steps down to the room.
He finally reached their bed, and he sat down onto it, leaning his back up against the wall. She straddled his chest, and she folded her arms into his chest.
"I hate being so needy." She cried out,
And that began, the many things Jackie hated. Hyde found it amusing that the little girl had so many things racing through her mind.
But being the "loving" boyfriend he was, he let her yell into his shoulder the entire night, straining his eyes to not fall asleep.
