A/N: Ughhh SOOO sorry for the delay for the update :( School's been keeping me reallyyy busy.. Anyways, heres the next chapter! Enjoy! The beginnings of this chapter is a bit.. disturbing.. so just be prepared. My mind has been wanting to write disturbing things for a while, and I needed to vent in this story :)
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THAT 70'S SHOW.
Jackie laid on the hospital bed, writhing in pain and anguish. The room was filled with nurses and the doctor, running about frantically, shouting commands to each other. Jackie was hit with another wave of pain, feeling the baby trying to enter the world. But it didn't seem right. She knew childbirth was going to be painful as hell, but this... this was pure torture. It killed her. It felt like she was being burned on the inside, and then her head was thumping with a horrible headache. Things were muffled, her ears plugged from her loud screams of pain. She cried sad and painful tears, the doctors yelling at each other as they told her to try to push. And tried she did, but the pain was unbearable. It wasn't meant to be this way. She'd never experienced this in her life, and she swore to never do this again. She looked to her side, and saw Steven. She'd expected him to be in the same pain she was in mentally, because she knew he hated to see her hurt or cry. But he was laughing with happiness. This just caused her to yell out in agony louder, her body bearing down to get the child out. She felt a wave of cold shivers run through her bed. Then hot, fiery heat engulfed her stomach. It felt like she was being burned alive. She pushed once more, and the doctor yelled out triumphantly. She expected to hear baby cries, into the sweaty air, but nothing came. She fell back against the bed, and looked over. The doctor tried to hand her an extremely bloody baby, laying lifeless in her arms. Jackie cried out sadly, and saw a huge smile on Hyde's face. She looked around, dazed and confused, and the doctor rested the dead child in her arms happily. It made her sick to see the child, and she wailed in sadness. Just as she was about to faint, the baby looked at her, and wailed along with her.
Jackie sat upright in the bed, her back stiff as a bolt. She was shivering, and shaking. Her sweat dripped down her forehead all down to her neck. She wore only a long t-shirt and her panties, but she was soaking wet with a nightmare's sweat.
She looked down at her now 8 month old, pregnant belly, and began to cry loudly. This had been a reacurring dream for the past week, but she'd never told Steven. She didn't want to think of it. She felt the bed stirring, and within seconds, a messy haired Hyde looked at is miserable fiancee.
"Doll?" He said softly, and she only cried harder as the images of her nightmare raced through her mind again. He rubbed the small of her back, and shushed her quietly. He rubbed his eyes, and glanced at the clock. It was only four in the morning, and she had school today.
He hugged her tightly, not asking her what was wrong. He kissed her head, and looked at the wall. This was the fourth time this week he'd awoken to find her like this, sweaty and crying. It was Friday morning, and he'd decided she needed to tell him what was going on with her.
"Jacks? Have you been having a dream or somethin'?" He asked, afraid of her answer. She stared at her hands, and simply nodded. He thought for a moment, and asked her,
"Is it a nightmare, perhaps?" He spoke, his voice low and gruff because of the early hour. She nodded softly, and he looked at her sadly. He didn't like to watch her cry. It secretly tore him apart to see her in such sadness.
"Can you tell me about it?" He began, and waited patiently. Almost three minutes had past, when a tiny voice croaked out,
"I dream, that I'm having the baby.." She sniffed once, and continued, "But once it's born.. it's dead.." She said, her throat clogging with uncried tears forming. "And your laughing, but the doctor hands me... The bloody baby.." She says, and wails loudly.
She tried so hard to tell him without crying, but the images flooded her mind again. Hyde is almost surprised to her what her dream actually is. People think Jackie is immature and only thinks of herself. Which, in a way, is true. But she was having very adult like dreams that were not only terrifying, but depressing as well. It shocked him to say the least. He only hugged her tighter, and shook his head.
"That won't happen Doll. I promise. I'll be there for you, and everything will work out. Please, just trust me." He spoke, but secretly thought to himself, knowing that he couldn't really promise her that. But he'd damn well try. She meekly grinned at him, and brushed her hair over her shoulder.
"You must think I'm acting stupid." She scoffed at herself, the tears evident in her tone of voice. He shook his head, and looked at her tear stained face. He glanced down at her very large baby belly. His stomach warmed every time he saw it, thinking that their baby was in her. It made him proud and excited. Though he'd never admit it.
She jumped softly, but went to pat her belly. She spoke softly,
"Oh knock it off in there, baby. I need sleep." She sighed tiredly, as the child rolled around in her stomach. Hyde reached his hand and touched her warm skin. He loved these moments. Just them together, with their baby between them.
He hated to say it, but to be honest, he'd grown into quite a softie. But he'd only show it to his child or Jackie. No one else. To every one else, he was the same mischievious, bad-ass Hyde he always was. He still got into trouble, he still did things he really shouldn't. Jackie was still annoying to others. Still the loud one of the group. But to each other, they meant the world. And they both felt that was all that mattered.
Jackie layed down onto her side, groaning in a tired voice. He adjusted himself behind her, wrapping his arm around her belly. He closed his eyes, and drifted off into daydreams. He thought about all that had happened in the last months.
With the money they'd gotten from Jackie's house, they'd planned carefully and bought a good sized apartment. It had three bedrooms. One for themselves, the baby, and a guest room. It had a full kitchen, and a good sized bathroom. A cute little living room, and it was basically all that Jackie wanted. Hyde didn't really care, as long as he was living with her. He was all set.
He thought about his secret project he'd been working on. He gotten a crib for their new child, and gotten green themed things for the baby. They had both felt it would be more unique to find out what the baby would be, once it was born.
Jackie of course, hoped for a girl. Hyde said he hoped for a boy, but deep down inside, he didn't care. Either way would be fine for him. He'd love it either way.
He bought a little shelf and put the baby books Jackie had recieved from her baby shower on it, and decorated the rest of the room.
Jackie didn't know he'd been going back there every other day to fix the apartment up. They'd both "agreed" to wait for the day they could come as a family. But Hyde being the rebellious guy he was, he'd broken the agreement. He knew he'd be forgiven, and new it would be quick.
He looked down at her long beautiful brown hair, and sighed softly into her body. She'd fallen back asleep, and decided he should too. He thought of his soon to be son or daughter, and ran his fingers up and down her stomach.
Later That Day:
Jackie sat in her study hall, next to Fez. She hated school now. She'd been labeled the official "Queen Slut" and the "Easy Open Girl." She was always offended, but snapped back to the girls, that they were just jealous. Jealous they didn't have an amazing fiancee such as Steven, or even a good boyfriend. It always seemed to shut them up, but the comments still hurt her.
Fez was making her laugh as he mimicked the elderly teacher at her desk. He mocked how she held her pencil, and how her eyes were crossed eyed slightly.
"Miss Burkhart... Boy.." She spoke not sure of Fez's real name, "Keep it down." Jackie grinned ear to ear, and heard call out a lispy "Sorry.."
They continued on, both laughing and joking around, when the bitchiest blonde girl sat beside her.
Their teacher Ms. Oldroin, told them she'd be right back. And Jackie let out a groan.
"Hey little skank." She grinned rudely, and Jackie rolled her eyes. Fez watched sadly as the girl tormented her for minutes straight. He saw Jackie's face tighten and whiten at each blow, and her face turned bright red with anger.
She sat, and heard each name she was called. She shrugged them off, until the blonde girl had the nerve to touch her stomach.
She snapped her fingers out, grasping the girls bony wrist.
"Firstly, don't touch my baby." She growled, and didn't even realize she was bruising the girl's skin sharply, "And second, don't be jealous you couldn't get on someone's dick Janet. We all know about that STD scare you had." She said, her bitchiness in tone, "So shut your damn pie hole, and leave me the fuck alone."
The girl sat flabbergasted, but finally shut her mouth. She reached for Jackie's hair and stupidly pulled it. Jackie sprung to her feet, and Fez also.
"Jackie stop. You need to calm down for the baby." Fez reasoned, but Jackie didn't hear.
Janet smack her face, and Fez flinched. He saw Jackie double over, clutching her cheek. They all waited, and the blonde girl grinned happily, thinking she'd won.
But once she looked up at Jackie, her eye met with Jackie's swinging fist.
Fez clasped onto his mouth, and saw Janet holding her eye. Janet ran, and everyone began to cheer. Fez spun around to see if she was smiling, but her face was a ghostly white.
"Jac-"
"Fez. Call Steven. And get me to the hospital." Fez looked at her confusedly, the cheering still continuing. He looked at her feet, and saw a large puddle.
"Pssst. Jackie. You're leaki-" He began, but Jackie grabbed his forearm,
"Fez! My baby is coming, get me to the damn hospital!"
"Oh." Fez said stupidly, and grabbed her wrist, and tugged her with him. He ran as quickly as he could with Jackie, and ran into a teacher. He explained what had happened, and the woman shook her head quickly, reassuring Jackie that she'd be alright.
They got her into the car, and the woman put the keys in. Fez sat beside his bestfriend, and saw her cry out loudly when her first contraction racked through her small body. He flinched softly when he saw her tears.
"I'm having my baby." She said dumbfounded.
Half of her was undeniably excited, beyond a doubt.
The other have?
Scared out of her young, naive mind.
