Disclamer:I do not own anything or this would be a movie!

'Okay Stephanie, I am going over to the store to get some plastic bags. I'll be back in a few, start packing, we're leaving tomorrow!" Jackie yelled across the living room. Stephanie rolled her eyes and replied

"Okay mom!" Stephanie knew that her mom was partially freaking out about this reunion. Stephanie could hear the door close, and once it did she decided to go ahead and start packing. She went over to her mom's closet and pulled the duffel bag off the top shelf. When she did the duffel bag fell to the ground along with her mom's year book. Stephanie picked up the yearbook, and flipped through it. She might as well find the people she was going to meet. Looking through she found her mom's photo. Under it the picture it said Jackie Burkhart. Stephanie loved looking at old pictures of her mom she was so pretty. Stephanie turned a page, and found a picture that has BFF written next to it in red pen. She read the name

"Donna Pincioti? I think I heard mom talk about her a couple times. She is kind of pretty." she said under her breath. Looking over a couple pictures she found some more writing. There was a nerdy looking boy Jackie drew in what looked like a light saber, and next to it had 'Star Wars Nerd!' Stephanie knew her mom must have been friends with him since there was a little wink face next to it. Eric Forman was the name. A couple pictures under Eric was this really cute boy, but he had devil horns on his head.

"Michal Kelso? Must have been an ex boyfriend or something." Stephanie skimmed the page a bit looking for more red ink. She stopped, and looked at the name, Fez. She looked at it kind of confused

"Doesn't this kid have a last name?" She thought. The red ink read, Foreign Weirdo! 'Mom must have known him or else she wouldn't have written anything. Finally she came to the last picture in the grade, and there were red hearts. Stephanie remembered those eyes. She knew them like they were her own, because her own were so similar. Her heart stopped when she realized why they looked like her own. This yearbook was from eighteen years ago. That is three years older than her.

"Dad?" she said breathlessly.

Another tear slipped from Stephanie's eye as she packed her last thing. She heard the door open and her mom set the supplies on the table. She grabbed the yearbook open to the 'Cutest Couple of 1986' She quickly walked into the kitchen, put on her favorite pair of aviators, and her Zen went on automatically. She dropped the year book on the table still open to the page it was on.

"Mom, were you going to let me know if I was going to meet my dad at the reunion?" Jackie quickly dropped everything she was doing, paused, and turned slowly. Stephanie could see the surprised look on her moms face, but she was not breaking her Zen. Jackie slowly made her way to the year book and she picked it up. Stephanie saw the longing on her mom's face and she knew that it hurt to remember.

"Honey, are you done packing?"

"Not the question mom; he is going to the reunion right?"

"I don't know, he never was one for school activities." Stephanie didn't know what to do. She was mad that her dad was two days away, and she had never seen him her whole life. A tear fell from Stephanie's face

"Mom, why haven't I ever seen him when he has been so close?" Jackie looked up, and these are one of the rare times she ever saw her daughter cry

"Stephanie, I was being so selfish. I was scared of seeing him; the hurt he brought me. I ran away. I kept you for myself. I never let you have your father!" Jackie started crying now, and she sat down with the year book in hand.

"This isn't even the worst part for me. There is no way he will ever forgive me for not telling him about you." Stephanie's eyes bugged out. She felt a sudden rage

"YOU MEAN HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT ME!" Stephanie couldn't stand to be mad at her mom, and watch her be so sad at the same time. She ran into her room and slammed the door behind her.

Jackie sat there for a bit. She didn't know what to do. She remembered when she was little, and her little tantrums, although they were never this serious. She remembered, though, that all she ever wanted was to talk to her parents about it. She heard a bit of quiet and then a pillow being thrown against the wall. She laughed a little at this. Jackie knew Stephanie didn't like loud noises a lot. Jackie got up and moved toward the door. She opened it a crack and said softly

"Steph? Do you want to talk about it."

"Mom? Were you scared that if you told him about me…That he wouldn't want me?"

Jackie laughed, "I was scared that he would. I was scared that he would love you, but not me. I am scared to death of going back to that place, but I am not running away any more. I was a kid when I ran. I am an adult now and you, and him need to know each other." Stephanie genuinely smiled, and Jackie had to cherish this moment of her daughter being so vulnerable." Let's finish packing shall we!"

Authors Note: Well! That was a dramatic chapter. To the people that were waiting here you go. I know I said I wasn't going to post until I got five reviews (I didn't -_-), but I couldn't wait! I needed to update it was too good a chapter.

I know my chapters are kind of short, and I am going for a lot of chapter, but if you don't mind waiting a little longer, I can write longer chapters. Let me know in the reviews!

Hint:If you review, it will encourage me to go faster!
