So this is the last chapter of this story. I hope you like it and the rest of the story! Just so you know, Eric will be in this chapter because I didn't like that he left for Africa. So...in my story he never went. Once you are finished reading, I would really appreciate a REVIEW! Thanks:D
Hyde stood in the hallway of the new apartment complex Jackie and him we're about to begin their lives in. His eager girlfriend stood behind him, practically breathing down his neck as he turned the key in the lock. He turned back to look at her as he pushed the door open slightly and watched as Jackie peeked her head through the door's crack. Her breath caught in her throat as she looked at the place that would be her first real home. The floors we're all wood and there was not a scratch on them since no one had ever lived there. The walls we're all painted white and the window's brought in the perfect amount of light that created a homey feeling. Hyde placed a hand on her back and urged her to go in. She took a few steps into the room and looked around. The kitchen was perfect with limestone counter tops. The living room was wide and comfortable and she looked into the bathroom and saw just like the kitchen it was of great standards. The bedroom was spacious and the closest we're large, much to her approval. It was simply perfect in Jackie's eyes. She turned and looked at her boyfriend who was sheepishly standing in the middle of the living room with his hands rooted in his pockets. His sunglasses were hanging on his undershirt and his lips we're tightly pressed together as he looked for any type of sign of happiness from Jackie. She just stood in the doorway and stared at him, and being the impatient man that he was he sighed.
"So…" He whispered. "What do you think?"
Jackie smiled and walked over to him; wrapping her arms around his neck she stood on her tip toes and smiled. "It is absolutely perfect." She said making her point clear with a passionate kiss.
Hyde smiled against her lips and held her hips tightly. "Good."
She rested her forehead against his and breathed a sigh of relief. "This is really happening?"
Hyde laughed. "Yes. It is."
"Steven, you honestly don't understand how happy you've made me." She whispered. "You mean the world to me. And the thought of being able to start a real life with you…it makes me happy. It makes me ecstatic actually."
Hyde smiled and rubbed her sides. "I know the feeling."
"Steven I know you said you weren't ready for marriage." She whispered. "But I just want to know…does this mean that someday you think that we could-"
He leaned down and kissed her. "I said I wasn't ready for marriage because I think that our relationship isn't there yet. And honestly, I never believed in marriage." Jackie's face fell slightly. "But then I saw how in love the Foreman's are. And I saw how happy they are and I realized, I could have that." He paused and smiled. "With you."
She smiled and kissed him gently. "So that's a yes?"
Hyde laughed. "Yes. I think that someday, after living together for awhile that we could eventually get married."
Jackie smiled brilliantly and began to prep his mouth with tiny, loving kisses. "You." Kiss. "Are." Kiss. "The." Kiss. "Best!"
Hyde laughed and picked her up gently. "Glad you think so."
Jackie wrapped her legs around his waist and held him tightly. "I just want to make you happy Steven."
Hyde leaned her back a little as he held her tightly so he wouldn't drop her and he smiled. "You do Jackie. You really do."
She smiled and leaned down to kiss him passionately. The door opened though as the Foreman's filed in, interrupting their kiss. Kitty sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Well for heaven's sake you two…there isn't even a bed in here yet and there you are going at it like rabbits." She said.
Hyde laughed and let Jackie slide down his body. "Sorry Mrs. Foreman."
"Yeah sorry…we just a little carried away." Jackie sad blushing.
Kitty smirked. "Yeah well…keep it in your pants until we're gone alright?"
Red sighed. "Kitty, please. I don't want to hear about that."
Kitty threw her hands up in the air. "Well what do you want me to do Red? It's not my fault that they can't keep their hands off each other."
"There was a time you and I we're like that." Red smiled.
Kitty frowned. "Yes well…times have changed."
"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked.
"I'm just saying…you went bald…" She shrugged.
Red scoffed. "And you turned crazy!" He yelled.
"Well now we're just trying to hurt each other!" She yelled.
Hyde stepped in between them. "Alright, alright. Break it up you two. You came here to look at the apartment, so you're here. Now look."
Red raised an eyebrow at him. "Excuse me?"
Hyde straightened up. "Look at it sir."
Red nodded. "There you go." He turned to his wife. "Come on Kitty, let's look around."
As the two began their tour of the apartment, Eric, Donna, Kelso and Fez waltzed in laughing and talking. Donna walked over to Jackie and nudged her.
"Hey…so I guess things turned out well huh?" Donna teased.
Jackie smiled. "Yeah. They turned out great. I'm sorry I freaked out on you for telling Hyde. I was just so scared…"
Donna shrugged. "I understand."
"Thank you…for telling him. For helping me…it means a lot." Jackie said. "And…and thanks for letting me live with you Donna. Really…you saved me."
Donna smiled. "Yeah well…you're my best friend."
Jackie smiled. "Right back at'cha."
The two girls hugged each other and the boys stood back and watched as they all said a unified. "Aww."
Jackie pulled away from Donna and glared at the boys. "Oh get bent." She said.
Donna laughed. "God Hyde, she's starting to sound like you."
Hyde smiled and sauntered over to Jackie and wrapped an arm around her. "Yeah well…she's my chick."
Jackie smiled and kissed his cheek. "Damn right I am."
Eric laughed. "So I take it this thing between you…it's more than just a fling."
Hyde looked down at Jackie who just stared at Hyde intently. "Yeah man. This is more than a fling. It's a legitimate relationship…one that means a lot to the both of us."
Eric nodded. "Well…" He walked over to his friend and stuck out his hand for Hyde. "I'm happy for you man."
Hyde smiled and shook Eric's hand. "Thanks man. And uh…ya know…thanks for giving me a place to crash."
Eric nodded. "Yeah well, the house won't be the same without you."
"Damn right it won't." Red said as he joined them back in the living room. "I can't believe your gonna leave me with him." Red said pointing at Eric.
Hyde laughed. "Sorry Red…but I think its time I move on."
Red smiled. "I think so too."
Kitty came out of the bedroom and looked around. "Well obviously it isn't as lovely as the home we gave you…" She paused. "But I think it will be a lovely place for the two of you to start your lives together."
"So you approve then?" Jackie asked.
Kitty smiled and walked over to Jackie and patted her cheek. "I approve."
Jackie smiled and hugged Kitty. "Good. That means the world to us."
Hyde hugged Kitty after. "Yeah. It really does Mrs. Foreman…I'm gonna miss you."
"Yes well…" She started to fan herself. "Drop by at anytime."
Hyde smiled. "We will."
"If you ever want a wonderfully cooked meal, there's always an open chair. For both of you." She said using her signature nervous laugh.
Hyde smiled. "Is that your way of asking us to come over at least once a week."
"How are Monday nights for you two?" She asked.
Hyde laughed. "We'll be there."
Kitty smiled and patted his cheek. "Good. Now…we'll just leave you kids alone. If you need any help moving stuff in, feel free to call Red."
Red rolled his eyes. "I'm the one with the heart condition and you want me to do the heavy lifting?" He asked.
Kitty smiled and patted her husband's chest. "Well you are the man in this relationship."
Red sighed. "You're going to be the death of me."
Kitty smiled. "No I'm not sweetie…I keep you young. Now come on. Bye kids!" She said as she walked out of the apartment.
Red nodded his head. "Don't do anything stupid. I'm turning the basement into my special place."
Eric groaned. "Dad I'm still there you know…"
"Not for long you won't be…" Red smirked.
"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked.
"I'm kicking you out. Follow Steven's example…commit to Donna for God's sake. She's no gonna wait around forever." He said scoffing at his son. "Goodbye."
Eric groaned as his friend's laugh. "Yeah Eric…I'm not gonna wait around forever."
Eric glared at Hyde. "Ok, see now you made me look bad."
Hyde shrugged. "Sorry man. What can I do? It was time to move on with my life."
Eric glared at him. "Yeah, yeah whatever."
Hyde smiled. "Alright, now that the parents are gone how about we break in Jackie's and my new place?"
Fez smiled. "Oh are we going to be watching you two do it?"
"Or can I do it with Jackie?" Kelso asked.
Hyde reached across the room and frogged both Kelso and Fez. "No you two…that's not what I mean."
Kelso raised his eyebrows. "Too hard."
Fez sighed. "Well then what did you mean?"
Hyde just smiled and reached for his pocket…
Five minutes later, the gang was assembled in a circle on the middle of the living room floor. Jackie was settled in between Hyde's legs as she leaned against his chest.
CUT TO JACKIE AND
HYDE:
"Steven…I love you." She whispered.
Hyde smirked. "Yeah man…I love you too."
CUT TO KELSO:
"Boo!" He
yelled. "There's no saying I love you in the circle!"
CUT TO
DONNA AND ERIC:
"Shut up man…I think it's nice." Donna
said. "It's time Hyde finally stopped being a tool."
Eric nodded. "Yeah. Love is great. Love…Love…it's an interesting word with so many meanings. Like you can love pizza…but it's not the same love you feel for like…" He paused. "Like…" He looked at Donna. "Someone who's like really important to you."
CUT TO FEZ:
"I want someone to love…" He
whispered sadly. "Damn you Eric and Hyde…you took the only two
girls who will even look at me!"
CUT TO JACKIE AND HYDE:
"That's
not true man. Whatever happened to Crazy Caroline? She loved
you…enough to freakin kill herself. Nut job." He said shivering.
"I love you Steven…but I could never do what she did." She said.
Hyde nodded. "That's cool man. But hey…guys…there's this car and it runs on-"
"Steven I swear of you say there's a car that run's on water…I'm giving my key back." She said seriously.
Hyde threw his hands up in the air. "It runs on water man!"
CUT TO KELSO:
"Hey
so guys…do you realize like how man kick as parties we can have
here?" He asked. "Fez's and my apartment has Fenton…and he
ruins everything. He's just…he's weird."
CUT TO DONNA AND
ERIC:
"That's so true man…this will be the place to come. My
parent's aren't here to break up circle time." Eric smiled.
"That's nice…"
Dona nodded. "Real nice…"
CUT TO
FEZ:
"I say here's to Jackie and Hyde, finally committing to
each other! And giving us a kick ass party pad!" He said holding up
his beer.
CUT TO JACKIE AND
HYDE:
"Steven they are toasting to us! Raise your beer!" She
yelled at him.
"Jackie…this isn't going to be a party pad. We'll get kicked out." He said.
Jackie shrugged. "So what! They are toasting us! WE are the center of attention! We can kick them out later! Now raise your beer baby!"
"Will you give me sex if I do?" He asked.
"Of course." She smiled.
"Well then rock on, to me and Jackie!" He said raising his beer.
CUT TO KELSO:
"To
Jackie and Hyde! Even though I still think Jackie would have been
better off with me." Hyde's hand reaches over and smacks him.
"Damn Hyde!"
CUT TO DONNA AND ERIC:
"To Jackie and Hyde!
Congrats guys!" Donna said.
Eric shrugged. "Yeah…to Jackie and Hyde! I still think you're the devil…but I guess you must be good in the sack cuz Hyde keeps you around."
Donna smacks him. "Eric!"
"Alright! To Jackie and Hyde! Hope you guys continue to be happy together." He said.
All of them raised their beers and smash them together as they take sips.
Later that night, Hyde brought a mattress from the Foreman's and put it on the floor of what would be their bedroom. They we're going to start to move things in tomorrow, but they wanted to sleep there together tonight. There was a small lit candle on the floor as Hyde lay over Jackie, kissing each and every part of her face as they finished making love. As their breath began to settle, Hyde lay down next to her and pulled her to his side. She wrapped a leg around his waist, and her arm went around his chest as she held him close. His hand rubbed up and down her sweaty back he placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"God Steven…" She whispered.
"Uh huh…" Hyde whispered back.
She leaned up a little bit and stared down at him. "You scared yet?"
Hyde laughed. "A little bit."
She leaned down to kiss him. "Why?"
He shrugged and stroked her face. "I just worry that somewhere along the line, you'll realize you could do better."
Jackie shook her head. "Steven. I love you. I want you…I'm not going anywhere. As long as you're here…I'm here."
Hyde smiled. "Good to know."
She smiled and leaned down to kiss him and he pulled her body up onto his and held her tightly to him. "Yeah…good to know." She whispered as she pulled back.
"Did you call the station and tell them you we're turning down the job?" He asked.
Jackie nodded. "Yup. I did."
"What did you tell them?" He asked.
"I told them I found a reason to stay." She whispered.
"And what would that be?" He asked.
"Love." She whispered as she caught his lips in a fiery kiss.
Hyde smiled and rolled Jackie over as their kiss turned passionate once more. And as they made love in the dim light of the candle Hyde realized Jackie was right. Just like her, he had found a reason to believe once again. His reason was Jackie. His reason and her reason for living was love…love for one another. And that was not going to change. Not ever.
Oh...one can only dream. I wish this has happened in the real show. But the damn Season 8 writers screwed up everything! Oh well...that's what fanfiction is for I suppose. But let me know what you thought of it! REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW:D
