The Things You Give Pt. 34
We're almost to the end!! I'm so excited to share this chapter with you and all I've got to say is...muahahahaha!
I also want to apologize for the lack of posting on here. I've lost motivation these last year. We've gone through a lot personally but I really want to finish this and boy and boy am I glad I did! The motivation came back today as I put on That 70's Show and it feels soooo good! I'm probably going to let out a few more chapters at most because this story has gotten a lot longer than it was supposed to. But I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think <3
Tumblr media
Y/n was panting and struggling to breathe properly as the contractions came on.
“Oh, my God. What should we do?” Jackie asked, almost panicking.
“We need to get her to the hospital!” Markus cried out and turned towards the stairs, suspecting that’s where Kitty or Red may be. “Mr. and Mrs. Forman?! We could really use your help!” A beat passed and he turned to his girlfriend. “Go find one of them. Now. And tell them Y/n is in labor.”
Jackie nodded and ran into the kitchen, calling for Kitty and Red.
Markus whipped back to Y/n who was struggling to breathe from the pain. “Y/n, breathe. It’s going to be okay.”
“I…want…Steven!” Y/n panted as she could barley form words.
“Here, hold on to my han—AAHHH!” Markus screamed as Y/n crushed his hand with hers. “Thank God we’re going to the hospital, right?” He chuckled through the pain. “Jackie! Where are you?!”
“Here!” she called, walking out from the kitchen with Kitty in tow.
“Y/n, honey, what’s going on?” Kitty asked, concerned.
“Her water broke and the contractions are already starting,” Markus explained as calmly as he could.
“Oh, my God, the babies are coming—Red!” Kitty called excitedly. “It’s time!”
“What?” Red asked as he stomped down the stairs, annoyed. “What are you yelling—Y/n, are you okay?”
“Red, she’s in labor!” Kitty explained. “Everyone, get in the car!”
“I’ll stay here and call Steven,” Jackie offered.
“Number to the venue is on the—” Y/n was cut off as another contraction hit her. “Counter,” she strained.
“No, no, no you’re not staying here with your boyfriend,” Red said. “I barley trust you kids in my house when my kids are home; I definitely don’t trust you by yourselves.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Forman. I’m not staying. I’m going to go to the venue and see if I can catch them,” Markus said.
“How do I know you’re not just saying that?” Red asked, skeptically.
At that moment, Y/n led out a frustrated and pained scream. “Can we finish this conversation later?!”
“She’s right. Let’s go, Red,” Kitty said, grabbing Y/n’s arm and gently guided her out the door.
“I’ll go call Steven. Markus, go to the venue,” Jackie ordered.
“Aye, aye, Captain Hottie,” he smirked before grabbing his keys and walked out.
                                                        ---
“Okay, Y/n breathe,” Kitty instructed as Red drove like a madman to the hospital.
Y/n was doing deep breaths to try and steady the pain. “This is a big one!”
“I know, but you can do it!” Kitty encouraged.
“Is Steven going to make it?” she asked through breaths.
“Oh, I’m sure he is,” Kitty assured. “Jackie is on it. Remember what she did at the wedding?”
Y/n nodded as the pain finally started to subside. “Yeah, she was awesome.” A beat passed before she spoke up again. “Don’t tell her I said that.” Pulsating pain came on as her stomach felt rock hard. “Here comes another one.”
“We’re almost there, honey,” Kitty said, rubbing her shoulder. “Red, step on it!”
                                               Meanwhile…
Loud rock music filled the air at the venue as the group jammed out from the crowd.
“This is the greatest day of my life!” Kelso shouted at his friends.
“Agreed!” Donna replied as Immigrant Song started.
“Hell yeah!” Eric whooped as he lit up a lighter.  
“Play that funky music white boys!” Fez shouted excitedly.
Everyone was having the greatest time, except for Hyde. He would occasionally whoop and holler, but the thought of Y/n being home while he was out having fun didn't sit right with him. It wasn’t until the song ended and the band moved onto the next that he nudged Fez, getting his attention.
“Hey, man, I’ll be right back.”
“Sure!” Fez said, barley paying attention.
Hyde rolled his eyes at his friend before leaving the arena and walking to the recession stand.
“Hi, how can I help you?” the young blonde woman asked as he approached her.
“Can I use your phone?”
“Absolutely,” she chirped and brought the phone out from beside the register. “Just dial 9 first.”
“Thanks,” he muttered and dialed the house number. It rang three times before someone picked up.
“Hello? Steven?”
“Jackie?” Hyde asked, scrunching his face. “What’re you doing at the house? Where’s Y/n?”
“Markus and I came over to be with Y/n to keep her company while you guys were gone,” she explained.
“Oh. Well, where is she? I want to talk to her.”
“Yeah…sorry, you can’t.”
“What? Why?”
“Because she isn’t here,” she replied.
Steven sighed, starting to feel irritated. “Where is she then?”
“At the hospital.”
“What?!” he almost yelled. “Why didn’t you lead with that? Is she in labor?!”
“Yes, she’s on the way. I stayed behind in case you called. If you leave now you might be able to meet her there.”
The phone almost slipped out his hand. “Oh, my God…”
“Steven…are you okay?”
“I’m on my way. Tell her to try to not have the babies until I get there!” He hung up the phone before she could answer and ran back into the arena where his friends were.
“Hey, man, where’d you go?” Eric asked while keeping his eye on the band.
“Y/n’s in labor!” Steven shouted.
Eric snapped his head towards his friend with wide eyes. “WHAT?!”
“Yeah, man, we gotta go!”
“Yeah, okay,” Eric said, nodding frantically and turned to Donna. “We gotta go!”
“What? Why?” she asked, smiling and hooting.
“Because Y/n is in labor!”
Her smile quickly disappeared as her attention snapped from the band to her boyfriend and friend. “WHAT?!”
“We’ve gotta go! She’s on her way to the hospital right now!” Hyde said.
“Right, okay,” Donna said, almost in a panic and turned to the boys. “Guys, Y/n’s in labor!”
“What?” Kelso shouted back. “Y/n’s the neighbor?”
“No, you dunce! Y/n’s in labor!” she repeated.
“Y/n’s the greater?” Kelso asked, even more confused. “Speak English, Donna, you’re not making any sense.”
“Y/N IS IN LABOR, YOU FOOL!” Fez screamed.
“Oh, my God!” Kelso shouted.
“Yeah, so we need to go,” Donna responded and grabbed him by the elbow.
“Wait, we’re all gonna go?” he questioned and dug his heels into the ground. “What about the concert?”
“Forget the concert, man, my wife is in labor!”
“Why? She’s not my wife,” Kelso argued.
Hyde’s jaw clenched and his fists balled up, dying to hit Kelso. “You know what? I don’t have time for this. If you want to stay, fine, but I’m leaving your ass here and you can find a ride home.”
Kelso laughed. “You’re not going to do that.”
“You wanna bet?”
“But they’re in the middle of a song!” he whined.
“You wanna walk home?” Hyde threatened.
Kelso groaned before stomping his foot. “Fine!”
                                                        ∞∞∞
“Alright, Mrs. Hyde,” Dr. Lee said, pulling back the privacy curtain as Y/n laid in the hospital bed. “You’re dilated two centimeters. Now this is your first childbirth so you could be here a while. We’ll keep monitoring you.”
“Thank you, Doctor,” Y/n said. “Can I have something to drink?”
“Just ice chips,” the doctor said with a sympathetic smile.
“Okay,” she sighed, disappointed.
“I’ll be back in a little while to check on you,” she said and exited the room.
“Well, this could take a while,” Kitty said and started fluffing Y/n’s pillow. “Did you want some ice chips?”
“That would be nice,” Y/n responded. “Thank you.”
“Of course. Red stay here with her while I go get her ice chips.”
“Where else am I gonna go?” Red asked with a shrug of his shoulders. Once Kitty left the room, it was silent.
“So,” Red said, breaking the silence and sighed awkwardly. “Do the contractions really hurt as much as they say?”
Y/n stared up at her father with a confused and bewildered look. “I don’t know. Have someone kick your boys multiple times and harder each time and then come back and tell me.”
Red couldn’t help but chuckle. After another minute of silence, Y/n spoke up.
“Dad?”
“Mhm?”
“Were you scared when Mom went into labor?”
A small smile graced his lips and he nodded. “Yeah, I was. But let me tell you the moment I held you and your brother in my arms, that fear melted away.”
“So, the minute I hold my children, my fears are going to melt away forever?”
“Oh, hell no,” Red chuckled, shaking his head. “The fear never goes away. Everyday a new fear will strike in you and you’re going to have to find some way to battle that one among the others. It’s a never ending cycle.”
“Oh my God…how do you sleep at night?”
“I just close my eyes,” he quips and rocks on his heels. “But your mother…not so much. She worries for you guys constantly.”
Y/n looked down at her hands. “I didn’t know that.”
“Of course you didn’t. The last thing she wants is to make you guys worry because all she wants is for you to worry about yourselves.”
“But that’s not how that works,” she argued. “We’re a family we do that for each other.”
“Not in a parent’s eyes,” he responded cooly and started heading out the door. “I’m going to call your idiot brother and see if he’s at the house.”
Y/n nodded at him as he walked out the door. As soon as the door clicked shut, another contraction shot through her, catching her breath in her throat. She breathed through the pain, and what felt like minutes but only seconds, it subsided as soon as Kitty walked back through the door.
“Here you go, dear,” Kitty said.
“Thanks, Mom,” Y/n replied breathlessly as her head fell back against the pillow.
                                                --Meanwhile--
“Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, COME ON!” Hyde shouted as he dodged traffic and weaved through traffic like a madman.
“Hyde, slow down!” Eric tried to hide his panic as he white knuckled the door handle and middle console. “I know we’re going to the hospital anyway, but let’s try to get there alive!”
“Have you guys ever noticed people in this town drive so damn SLOW?!” He honked his horn impatiently. “Move over, Grandma!”
“Hyde, please, I don’t want to die,” Fez whined from the back as he clutched the back door and Kelso’s arm.
“Shut up, Fez,” Hyde snapped as he desperately hit the gas more. “DAMN IT!” he shouted when he hit a red light.
“Hyde, man, it’s alright. You’re going to make it in time,” Eric said, trying to calm him down.
“No, Forman, it’s not going to be alright if I’m not there!” he raised his voice and punched the gas as soon as the light turned green.
“Don’t worry, you’re going to make it,” Donna said.
“No, you guys don’t get it,” Hyde replied, forcing himself to stay calm. “My dad wasn’t there when I was born and I’ll be damned if I do the same to my kids.”
“You’re not your dad, man…” Kelso said quietly.
“You’re right I’m not,” Hyde responded, staring intently at the road. “I’m going to be better.”
“And you are, but you need to—RED LIGHT!” Eric shouted as Hyde sped through.
“Relax, it’s not like we hit anybody,” Hyde said, hard gaze on the road.
“Um, Hyde?” Fez piped up, looking out the back window nervously.
“You’re going to kill us!” Eric screeched.
“No, I’m not!”
“Hyde?” Fez said again, this time a little louder.
“It’s going to be no use if we don’t make it alive!” Eric shouted.
“Will you lay off?!” Hyde shouted back, white knuckling the steering wheel. “We’re going to be fine.”
“HYDE!” Fez shouted sharply.
“What?!” Hyde snapped.
“Um…” he responded by pointing out the back window.
Hyde followed his line of sight and saw blue and red flashing behind them. “Crap.”
                                                --Time Skip—
Y/n was doing deep breathing exercises as another contraction waved through her. At this point, sweat had formed on her hairline while her hair had been pulled back into a messy ponytail by Kitty.  
The pain radiated through her back down to her legs as she felt like daggers were racing through her bloodstream.
“Just keep breathing, honey, you’re doing great!” Kitty encouraged as Y/n struggled to keep breathing. She held her daughter’s hand as Y/n squeezed it through the pain.
“It...hurts…!” she whined as she breathed through the pain.
“I know, honey, but it’s going to be so worth it when you get to hold your babies for the first time,” Kitty cooed.
Finally, the contraction ended and Y/n laid her head back in exhaustion, panting. “Has anyone heard from Steven?”
“When I called the house, your little loud friend answered and said she had spoken to him and he was on the way,” Red answered and checked his watch. “But then again, that was almost two and half hours ago.”
“The concert was only forty-five minutes away,” Y/n pointed out. “An hour and a half at most with traffic.” She was silent for a moment, fighting back tears. “I knew he cared more about the stupid concert than me.”
“Oh, honey, you know that’s not true,” Kitty said, rubbing her daughter’s covered leg in comfort.
“No, it is, otherwise he would be here!” she wailed, tears running down her face. “I’m about to push two babies out of me and he’s not here! I’ve never been in so much pain in my entire life and I just want my husband!”
“I know, sweetie, I know, but he’ll be here,” Kitty reassured and walked over to her husband. “Can I talk to you outside?”
“About what?” he asked.
“Just get outside,” she responded and pushed him out. After she shut the door, she turned back to him. “You need to find him.”
“Why? I’m sure he’s on the way,” Red said casually and walked over to the nearest coffee station.
“The last time a big event happened, Steven almost didn’t make it!” she said harshly. “He was in jail, Red, jail!”
“What do you want me to do about it?”
“Go back to the house and find him!”
“Kitty, if he’s not here, he’s not going to be at the house,” he pointed out, pouring himself a cup of coffee.
“What if he stopped by the house?”
“Now, why would he do that?”
“I don’t know, why did the boy go to a concert when he knows his wife’s about to pop? We’ll never know why the kids do what they do, but what I know for sure is that something is wrong!”
“Oh, Kitty, come on!” Red whined. “I’m sure Steven is fine. He’s probably stuck in traffic or something.”
                                       --Scene Transition—
“Officer, I’m telling you, I’m not drunk!” Hyde yelled.
The scene in front of him would’ve been quite comedic if he hadn’t been the one in the position. He was leaned forward on the hood with his hands splayed out and legs spread as he was being searched.
“With the way you were driving, I beg to differ,” the officer replied as he carefully searched Hyde.
“The breathalyzer said I wasn’t!” he argued. “Why are you still searching me? I need to get to the hospital! My wife is in labor!”
“Yeah, I haven’t heard that one before,” the cop scoffed as he stood.
“Man, I’m serious! If you follow me, I’ll show you I’m telling the truth!”
“I’m not falling for that one again.”
“What? No, man, I’m serious!”
“You know everything you say can and will be held against you in the court of law,” the officer said.
“Okay, well then get this on record: I. NEED. TO. GET. TO. MY. WIFE. She is in labor and I really need to be there!”
“Shut up or else I will arrest you.”
Steven sighed, frustrated. “For God’s sake.”
While this was happening, the rest of the crew sat silently and rigid in the car. They felt with one wrong move, they would be arrested.
“Do you think he’s going to be let go?” Fez asked.
“If he shuts up and lets the man do his job, the maybe,” Kelso said.
“Hey, wait, you used to be a cop,” Eric pointed out. “Can’t you do something?”
“I doubt it,” Kelso responded, not taking his eyes off the cop. “As long as Hyde shuts up, he should be fine.”
“I hope you’re right. It would be awful if he missed the birth of his children like how he almost his own wedding,” Donna said, staring at Hyde as he stood still as a statue.
“Yeah, that would be,” Kelso mumbled.
Meanwhile outside, Hyde was ready to jump out of skin as he waited for the cop to finish up the report. The cop purposely was taking his time which made Hyde want to twist his neck even more.
“Can I go now?” he asked.
“I need to still check the car.”
“You checked it twice!”
“Once more never killed anybody.”
“Come on!” Hyde shouted as he watched the cop reach into the glove compartment to grab some gloves. “I’ve done everything you asked and you’re still going to hold me here? What more do you want?”
“I just love watching people like you squirm,” the cop said smugly as he snapped on the latex gloves.
“People like me? Man, I’m telling the truth!” Hyde shouted. “I’m not drunk and I’m not high! There’s nothing in my car! I don’t know what the hell you’re looking for, but you’re not going to find it!”
The cop smirked. “We’ll see about that.”
A car rumbled by across the street before it stopped and parked. Steven eyed the cop as he watched him kick his friends out and search the car again.
“Steven?!”
Hyde’s head snapped to the sound of his name and watched as Red crossed the street towards him.
“Red?” Hyde called out. “What’re you doing here?”
“What am I doing here? What are you doing here?!” Red asked, now feeling frustrated. “Do you know Kitty made me leave the hospital to drive back home to find you, only to find out that you’ve been pulled over the side of the road?!” He stood directly in front of Steven as he also watched the cop search the car. “Why were you pulled over this time?”
“Speeding.”
“And he’s searching the car because...?”
“He’s sure I’m under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”
Red pinched his eyebrows together and looked at Steven. “Were you breathalyzed?”
“Yes.”
“And searched?”
“Three times.”
“You don’t got that dope on you, do you?”
Steven rubbed his forehead, trying to control his irritation. “No.”
“Then why are you still here?!”
“That’s a good question. Ask the man in blue.”
Without hesitation, Red darted towards the police officer. “Hey, buddy! What the hell are you doing?!”
“Sir, I’m going to need you to back up while I conduct my search—”
“To hell with your damn search!” Red yelled. “You found nothing, now let him go! His wife, my daughter, is at the hospital about to give birth!”
“Oh, now he’s got you covering him?” the cops asked smugly. “I’m not buying it and this can be held against you—”
“Do I need to call Chief Calvin?” Red interrupted with fire in his eyes. “Do I need to tell him that you are looking to book my son-in-law?”
“How do you know—?”
“I’ve got
“You can if you want,” the cop said. “I’m just doing my job.”
“No, you’re not. You’re being a prick who is on a power trip. I’ll tell you what, you give him the speeding ticket and I won’t report your ass to the chief for trying to find false evidence.”
An annoyed, angry look crossed over the officer’s face before he snapped off his gloves. “Fine.”
“Thank you, officer,” Red said sickly sweet.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” he mumbled as he walked back to the cop car.
Once the officer was out of earshot, Hyde turned to Red. “You really know that Chief like that?”
“Please,” he scoffed. “I had you and my son to deal with. You didn’t think I wasn’t going to get to be on a first name basis with the P.D?”
                                             --Meanwhile—
“WHERE. IS. HE?!” Y/n screamed through contractions.
“I don’t know, sweetie. Your dad is out looking for him,” Kitty responded, wiping away sweat off her daughter’s forehead.
This caused Y/n to scream out more in frustration than in pain when another contraction hit. “SON OF A BITCH!”
A knock on the door barley made their attention when Dr. Lee popped in. “How are we doing?”
“I need drugs!” Y/n screamed.
“Let me see how dilated you are,” Dr. Lee responded and popped on some gloves. After she felt around, she came up from between Y/n’s legs and sighed contently. “4 centimeters—looks like you’re dilated enough.”
“Oh, thank God,” Y/n sighed and leaned her head back.
“You know, you do qualify for this new drug we have. It’s called an epidural anesthesia. It’s going to numb you from the waist down and you won’t be able to feel anything.”
“Do it.”
“You don’t want to hear the possible side--"
"Damn it, woman, do it!" Y/n cried out in discomfort. “It feels like these kids are going to rip me in half!”
Dr. Lee chuckled before nodding. “I’ll be right back with the anesthesiologist.”
“Wow, fancy,” Kitty said, impressed. “When I gave birth to all three of you, I didn’t get that special treatment.”
“Times have changed, Mom,” Y/n responded dully.
“Excuse me, miss grumpy pants,” Kitty sassed as she situated herself in the chair next to the bed.
“Sorry,” Y/n mumbled and stared at the ceiling in silence.
“He’ll make it,” Kitty said after a minute.
“I appreciate the sentiment, but I don’t know right now. He was arrested and almost didn’t make it to our wedding, so I’m not sure if he’ll make it here on time to witness the birth of his children.”
“Oh, Dear, that’s just the hormones talking. I know Steven is just anxious to be here.”
                                          --Meanwhile—
“For the love of GOD, people, move your asses!” Hyde yelled at the traffic ahead of him. “Why is it even this crowded? Where are all these people coming from?!”
“Um, probably from the concert,” Donna piped up.
“The whole town went to the concert?!”
“I mean, we’re not the only ones who listen to them, but whatever,” Eric mumbled.
Hyde ignored them as another growl bubbled up from his throat as traffic began to slow down again. “Friggin’ slow asses, move!” He honked his horn and swerved in the other lane to pass someone.
“That was a student driver,” Eric said.
“Yeah, and I felt the same way when I passed that old lady earlier—nothing,” Hyde retorted as he got off the highway. “Doesn’t matter anyway, we’re almost there.”
“Pretty sure at this rate we’ll be there in five minutes instead of twenty,” Fez said nervously, gripping the door handle with white knuckles.
“Yeah, I think I felt safer when we were pulled over,” Kelso said and quickly averted Hyde’s icy glare through the rearview mirror. “I’ll shut up now.”
“Good plan,” Hyde responded. “Now, hang onto your asses. This is going to be a fast ride.”
                                           --At the hospital—
“Hey, Mom, look,” Y/n said, calm and happy and pointed at the machine that was monitoring her contractions. “I’m having a contraction. Who knew?”
“Are you feeling better now that you got the epidural?” Kitty asked, relieved to see her daughter out of pain.
Y/n giggled. “It’s almost like—childbirth, who? Pushing out two babies, say what?”
Kitty smiled. “Glad to hear it, dear.”
“Alright, Mrs. Hyde, after checking your dilation, it looks like you’re now at eight centimeters,” Dr. Lee informed.
“Whoa, man, I’m so numb I didn’t even feel you down there,” Y/n chuckled.
“Y/n, honey, did you hear the doctor?” Kitty asked, grabbing her daughter’s hand. “You’re eight centimeters. There’s only two centimeters left until you need to start pushing.”
Y/n’s eyes bugged out at the sudden realization. “What?! But-but Steven isn’t here yet!”
“Unfortunately, that doesn’t matter to babies coming out of a womb,” Kitty explained gently.
“No, no, no they have to stay in there until he’s here!” Y/n panicked. “Damn it, I knew he shouldn’t have gone!”
 Dr. Lee took this as her cue to leave. “I’ll be back later to check on you.”
After Dr. Lee left, Y/n turned to Kitty with tears in her eyes. “Mom, I can’t do this alone.”
“Oh, honey, you’re not going to be alone. I’ll be here.”
“You promise?”
Kitty smoothed down her daughter’s sweaty, matted hair. “Of course. I love you.”
“I love you, too.” She wrapped her arms around her mother as she felt an ounce of comfort. When she pulled away, she looked her in the eyes. “Just…don’t look at me. You know, down there.”
“Honey, I’m a nurse. I see this on a daily basis!” Kitty laughed. “And not to mention you, too, came out of me!”
“Ugh, God, MOM!”
                                                  Now…
“Finally! Land!” Eric bellowed as he stumbled out of the now parked car with wobbly legs. “Thank you, God, we’re alive!” He clutched his chest, breathing heavily, and looked up at the sky. “God, I know you and I don’t talk a lot, but thank you for not killing us.”
“Forman, get off the ground,” Hyde ordered. “You’re embarrassing me.”
“I’m just…so happy,” Eric whined, but kept his hand on his chest.
“Come on, hurry!” Red barked. “Those babies aren’t going to wait much longer for them to be born!”
“You’re right,” Hyde said and clapped a hand onto Red’s shoulder. “I’m gonna go have my babies!”
He heard the cheers coming from his friends behind him as he ran into the hospital, heart pounding from the adrenaline.
Eric turned to Donna after they watched their friend disappear into the hospital. “Hey, Donna?”
“Yeah, Eric?”
“Which arm hurts when you’re having a heart attack?”
“Your left one.”
“Oh,” he sighed and cracked a nervous smile. “It’s a good thing we’re at a hospital, huh?”
                                  --Five minutes later—
“Alright, Mrs. Hyde, looks like you’re at ten centimeters,” Dr. Lee said., situating herself between Y/n's legs that were up in the stirrups. “It’s time to start pushing. Are you feeling any pain?”
Y/n shook her head nervously. “Just a lot of pressure.”
“Good. Are you ready?”
Y/n grabbed her mother’s hand as Kitty helped her sit up. “You got this, honey.”
“And…push!” the doctor said, but was quickly interrupted as the door swung open, startling her.
“I’m here! I’m so sorry, but I’m here!” Steven said, out of breath.
“Steven, you’re here!” Y/n said, relief flooding over her, which soon was quickly replaced with anger. “Where the HELL have you been?!”
“I’m so sorry, Doll,” he said and kissed her forehead. “It’s a long story, but traffic was horrible and then I got pulled over until Red found me—”
“What?!” Y/n shouted.
“Mr. Hyde, I’m so glad that you’re able to join us, but Mrs. Hyde is going to have to start pushing now,” said Dr. Lee.
“Oh, my God,” Hyde said nervously and slipped his hand into his wife’s. “You got this, baby.”
“Since you’re here, I’ll let myself out,” Kitty said.
“Wait, no, Mom,” Y/n called out, stopping her. “Y-you don’t have to go. You can stay here if you want.”
Kitty gave her a gentle smile and kissed her cheek. “Sweet girl. It’s okay, you don’t need me.”
“I’ll always need you,” her voice cracked and eyes filled with tears. “Mommy, I’m scared.”
“You’ll be just fine. In a moment like this, you need your husband, not your mother, who I am so glad is finally here. I’ll be right outside, okay?”
Y/n nodded and wiped at her eyes. “Okay.”
“Okay. Besides, I need to talk to your father and see what happened with Steven getting pulled over.” She blew a kiss to her daughter and son-in-law as she walked out the room.
“Alright, Mrs. Hyde, I need you to push for me like you’re using the toilet. Can you do that for me?”
Y/n sat herself up while still gripping onto Steven’s hand and pushed as hard as she could.
“Good job! I’m seeing a head!” the doctor announced.
“Come on, baby, you got this!” Hyde encouraged.
“Okay, now stop,” Dr. Lee ordered. “Breathe, take a ten second break. We’re going to do this slowly. We don’t want any tears.”
Y/n nodded once again and leaned back. She looked up to her husband who was staring down on her lovingly. “I’m glad you’re here.”
“Me too,” he responded. “I’m sorry I’m late.”
She caressed his face. “You’re here now. That’s all that matters.”
“Let’s start pushing again,” Dr. Lee said and placed her hands on Elena’s knees. “And…go!”
Elena sat up with Hyde’s help and started pushing again. Grunting, she felt pressure building up even more as if she really was using the toilet. “Oh, my God!”
“You’re doing it! Good girl!” the doctor encouraged.
“Breathe, baby doll, breathe,” Hyde said gently as he moved hair out of her face.
She let out long breaths to ease the pressure, but it wasn’t helping much.
“Oh, my God, my ass is going to explode!” she screamed.
“No, it’s not, you’re doing so well!” Hyde encouraged.
“Dad, I’m going to need you to hold her leg up for me,” instructed the doctor.
Without a word, Hyde reached down and placed a gentle under her knee, lifting it upwards.
“Much better,” said Dr. Lee. “You’re doing well, Y/n! Just keep pushing!”
Y/n squeezed Hyde’s hand so hard he swore she was going to cut off his fingers, but he didn’t care and in fact, almost completely forgot about it when he heard the doctor yell, “Baby number one’s head is out! Now, Y/n, I’m going to need you to give me one big push for the shoulders, okay?”
Y/n nodded, breathing heavily and leaned against her husband.
“You got this,” Hyde said in her ear as he supported her back.
She grunted and groaned as she pushed as hard as she could.
“Push, baby, push!” Hyde said, almost excitedly.
“Almost there!” Dr. Lee announced.
Y/n took in a deep breath before doing the biggest push she could muster.
“Shoulders are out!” said the doctor before she gently pulled the baby out.
                           And then, there was crying.
“Congratulations, it’s a boy!” announced the doctor.
“Oh, my God!” Y/n cried as she saw her son for the first time.
“It’s a boy,” Hyde said breathlessly. It took everything in him not to allow any tears surface.
“We have a boy, Steven,” Y/n wept as she watched the nurse take him from the doctor. “Where’d he go?”
“They’re just taking him to get him cleaned up,” Steven said, his eyes watery.
“He’s so tiny,” she whispered and looked up at Steven.
“He’s perfect,” he responded and kissed her gently.
“Y/n, it looks like baby number two is ready to come out,” Dr. Lee said.
“Ugh, I already had a baby. Leave me alone,” Y/n groaned. “Can’t I take a break?”
“Sorry, not with this little one. They’re coming sooner than you think!” answered the doctor and sat between her legs again. “Ready?”
“Not really…”
“Good, because they’re coming!”
Y/n didn’t get a chance to even breathe before she felt a tremendous amount of pressure passing through her. She gasped before grabbing onto Hyde’s neck and digging her nails into his flesh.
“Ow, ow, ow, Y/n, ow!”
“So-sorry,” she stuttered, breathless and let go.
“Here, grab my hand instead,” he said, offering his hand.
She grabbed his hand again and squeezed.
“Alright, Mr. Hyde, just like last time, go ahead and grab Mom’s leg and hold it up for me,” Dr. Lee instructed again.
He repeated the motion from before and gently lifted her leg up.
“Perfect,” Dr. Lee said, encouragingly. “Annnnd push!”
One more deep breathe and Y/n pushed harder than she had pushed before.
“Wait, wait, wait, stop pushing,” the doctor said suddenly.
“What, why?!” Y/n asked, panting.
Hyde step forward to take a look. “Oh, God! What the hell is that?!”
“Don’t say that! What is what?!” Y/n screeched.
“It’s the baby’s feet. They’re breeched,” the doctor said.  
“Oh, my God. Are they going to be okay?!” Y/n asked, panicking.
“They’re going to be fine. But I’m going to need you to push even harder now.”
“No, I can’t! I can’t do this anymore.”
“Yes, you can,” Hyde said. “You’re stronger than you know. You always have been. You can do this, Y/n”
“No, no I can’t!” She turned back to the doctor. “Can’t you just reach up there and pull the baby out?!”
“Not unless you want a C-section, you’re going to need to do this,” said Dr. Lee.
Y/n leaned back, crying. “I can’t—I don’t have it in me!”
“Hey, hey, look at me,” Steven said, gently. She looked at her husband, teary eyed. “Just think—this baby will be out and then it’ll be over. You just gotta get through this, okay? You can bring our son or daughter and this will be over. Okay? I love you so much, you can do this.”
“I love you, too,” she whimpered and sat up.
“Push like you haven’t pooped in a week,” Dr. Lee instructed gently.
“It feels like I haven’t!” Y/n screamed as she felt the pressure rise.
“There we go!” the doctor said excitedly. “Both feet are out! Here come the legs!”
“You’re doing amazing, doll, keep going!” Hyde encouraged.
Y/n took another breath before pushing the hardest she could. She started to feel some relief from the pressure the more she pushed.
“Here she comes!” Dr. Lee announced.
Hyde’s gaze snapped to the doctor. “It’s a girl?!”
Dr. Lee looked back at him with a soft gaze and a smile. "Yeah, it's a girl."
“Oh, my God,” Hyde said, this time his voice cracking from emotion. “Baby, we have a daughter."
"One of each," Y/n choked back a sob.
"Give me one last big push!” said the doctor.
With a final push, the pressure finally alleviated and soon, the sound of a crying baby filled the room.
“Here she is!” the doctor held up the baby as she continued to cry.
“She’s beautiful,” Y/n said in awe, feeling emotional. She wept as she watched her daughter being taken away for cleanup.
“Just like her mom,” Hyde said teary eyed and looked at his wife. “You did great, Doll. I’m so proud of you.”
The adrenaline that was once pumping through Y/n’s veins was now fading and she could now start to feel the exhaustion take over. “I couldn’t have done this without you.” She reached a hand up and gently wiped a stray tear.
He leaned down and gave her a gentle, passionate kiss.
“Good job, Mom and Dad,” Dr. Lee said with a smile. “Mrs. Hyde, we’re just going to stitch you up—”
“Steven…” Y/n whimpered, her eyelids getting heavier. “’M tired. S’ tired.”
“Uh, doc? Is she supposed to be feeling this tired? She can’t keep her eyes opened—”
The heart rate monitors suddenly start screaming.
“Someone get the babies out of here!” Dr. Lee ordered. “Mr. Hyde, I’m going to need you to step out the room.”
“What’s going on?!” Hyde demanded and looked down to Y/n who was barley conscious.
“She’s hemorrhaging and it’s causing her blood pressure to drop. She’s going into shock.”
“What?!” Steven shouted as he started to be pushed out. “Wait! Wait! Y/n!”
Everything happened so fast, the last thing Hyde saw was his wife being surrounded by nurses and doctors as he was shoved out the room, and the door slammed in his face.

Thinking about a new Zenmasters fanfic: if Eric and Donna hadn’t walked in on them in 5x02, when do you think Jackie and Hyde would have admitted to their relationship? I mean there’s so many options, and I can think of good reasons for it happen in almost every episode that season. Although part of me thinks it would be funniest if she was just found in his bed in episode 19 and they had to explain that.
Also the idea of Hyde trying to persuade kitty to keep the secret that long is really funny

Kelso: I don’t know guys, I don’t know what this feeling is. I look at her and I actually like her as a person. I like talking to her, spending time with her. I can have fun with her without having to have sex with her. I want to get to know her. I want her to trust me. When she tells me to get my hand off her ass I listen to her and don’t do it again. When I see her, my heart skips a beat, I hate seeing her sad it breaks my heart man. What could this mean?
Hyde: It means you finally love someone other than yourself you dingus

Can you do Eric comforting Donna after they find out she's pregnant? Thank you :)
Thanks for the ask, anon! Have a request? You can send it here!
"Are you sure it's - it's positive?" Eric asked, swallowing nervously.
"I'm sure!" Donna exclaimed, frantically.
She waved the pregnancy test at him, and he reached for it. He held it under the bathroom light, examining it closely, as if holding it in a new position might wield a different result.
"I mean, maybe it - "
"Oh, please Eric," Donna cut him off, impatient. "Tell me about all of the pregnancy tests you've taken." She placed a hand under her chin sarcastically, like she was ready to listen. "Please."
"Okay," Eric swallowed again. "Okay." He set the test on the bathroom counter again and looked at her. "So you're - you're pregnant."
A hushed silence fell between them.
"Yeah." Her voice was thick, and he noticed. She turned away from him and blinked a few times, fighting to keep her composure. "And I'm not dropping out of college," she accused him, her voice hard so she wouldn't cry, daring him to challenge her.
But he matched her with softness. "Donna," he took a step closer, bridging the distance between them. He reached an arm out for her, but she was still hesitant to accept his touch. "No one's saying you have to." He chuckled. "I promise - I learned my lesson last time."
She let him close the remaining distance between them and pull her into a hug. Donna released a sob into his shoulder as he embraced her.
"Whatever you want to do, we'll do," he promised, whispering it into her ear as he rocked her. "We can do whatever you want to do, Donna." He kissed the side of her head. She was calming down. "Okay?"
"Eric, I know this is like, crazy," she mumbled. Her voice was soft and she wiped her face against the chest of his sweater. Gently, Eric coaxed her upright. She swiped at her eyes, smearing her make-up. "I know we're not ready and the timing couldn't be worse but," she bit her lip and looked at him. "I think I want to - I want to keep it." Another tear spilled down her cheek. "It's our baby," she whispered, shrugging helplessly.
"Yeah," he smiled, transfixed by her. He couldn't look away from her eyes. "Our baby," he repeated. "Let's keep it. Let's be a family."
"What about - "
Eric brushed his hand in the air like he was swatting at an invisible fly. He still didn't look away from Donna, and he didn't stop smiling. "We'll figure it out."
"Eric - " Donna giggled.
"I promise you. We'll figure it out."

The Things You Give Pt. 32
WhOoO wEeE! It's be a long time. Sorry it took so long! I've had a wild summer, yall. I moved and been pretty darn tired! I've also been stuck in a writing rut, so please forgive me. But I think I got it! I hope you like this chapter! It took a bit to write and I hope I do it justice. Thank you, loves! For everything. By the way, it's finally spooky season! Yay!
Tumblr media
“What are you doing here?” Y/n asked incuriously.
“I’m here to pick up some stuff,” he responded and leaned against the doorframe, staring her up and down. “Whoa, who did this to you?”
“Who the hell are you?” Hyde asked, coming up behind Y/n.
“Connor,” he replied coyly and flicked his dirty blonde hair out of his eyes.  “Who are you?”
“I’m her husband,” he said defensively.
“Oh, yeah I heard about you,” Connor said, wagging a finger at him. “You’re the one that got busted for carrying. Like, two years ago, right?”
“Yeah, now answer my question.”
Connor smirked and eyed Y/n up and down. “I was her camp counselor a couple years back.”
Hyde looked to his wife whose eyes never left Connor’s. “Is he the one you…?”
“Yep,” Y/n responded shortly.
“And it looks like I dodged a bullet,” Connor snickered.
Y/n sharply inhaled, a throbbing headache already coming on. “What do you want, Connor?”
“I’m here for my dad,” he responded. “Wanted me to pick up something from Red.”
“What? What could he have that you need to pick up?”
“Hey, Connor!” Red greeted as he came from the den. “Glad you’re here! Wanna follow me into the garage?”
“How do you know each other?” Y/n asked.
“I ran into his dad while at the hardware store the other day,” Red replied. “He told me that he was in need of a chainsaw and I told him ‘No need, you can borrow mine.’”
The couple raised their eyebrows at him.
“You’re willingly letting someone borrow one of your tools?” Y/n asked incredulously. “Okay, who are you and what have you done with my dad?”
Red chuckled. “I know his dad. We’ve known each other for years. We served together in Korea.”
“Oh…” she trailed off, her stomach dropping. “Of course, he did.”
“How bout that?” Hyde chuckled, jealousy starting to boil in his veins.
“How do you two know each other?” Red asked, turning the question back on them.
“I was her camp counselor,” Connor repeated. “We had a good time and got to know each other pretty well.” He drawled on those last two words, not breaking eye contact with her.
Y/n glared at him, her fingers starting to itch from wanting to wrap them around his throat.
Red furrowed his brows at him. “What do you mean by that?”
“Nothing,” Y/n answered through clenched teeth. “We got to know each other just like everyone else.”
Red couldn’t help but squint his eyes at the three young adults: Y/n standing rigid, clenching her jaw while Steven stood stiff as well with his fists balled up, knuckles white. Then there was Connor whose smirk never left his face, eyes scanning his daughter like a piece of meat. Any likeness he had towards the kid was quickly going down the drain.
“Alright, Connor, follow me to the garage,” Red said, less enthusiastic as before.
“Yes, Mr. Forman,” Connor said dutifully and brushed past Y/n without breaking eye contact—or his smirk.
Once those two disappeared behind the kitchen, Y/n spun to Hyde whose eyes were locked on the kitchen door. If she didn’t know any better, he would be able to burn holes into it.
“That son of a bitch,” she spit.
“I hate him,” he said shortly.
“Yeah, me too,” she sighed and got back to helping everyone clean. “Just don’t pay any mind to him. It’s what he wants.”
“Why did he bring up your guys’ past like that?” Eric asked.
Y/n froze as she was picking up the plates. “Uh...I don't know. Reasons?"
“What reasons?” Donna pressed, grinning wickedly.
Y/n whipped her head towards her, baring her teeth. “Shut. Up,” she mouthed.
“Nothing, guys,” Y/n said without making eye contact. “Just drop it, okay?”
“Y/n…what aren’t you telling us?” Kitty asked nervously.
“It doesn’t matter,” she replied, getting visibly nervous. “Let’s just clean up because I’m getting tired and want to go to bed.”
“Y/n, it’s six o’ clock,” Donna pointed out.
“Yeah, well, you try carrying twins!” she snapped.
Donna laughed as she carried the rest of the plates in the kitchen.
“Y/n…please tell me you didn’t do anything with that boy,” Kitty almost begged, nervous.
“Uhm…” she stumbled, her brain short-circuiting.
“You know what, I don’t want to know,” Kitty said, almost disgusted. “All my children are sex maniacs.” She rushed out the living into the kitchen.   
“Okay, but seriously, what the hell?” Y/n hissed once Kitty was out of earshot. “Out of all people, he had to be the one to show up at my front door!”
“What’s the big deal?” Eric asked. “It’s not like he’s going to stir up anything. He’s just here to pick something for his dad.”
“No, absolutely not,” she responded. “Knowing Connor, he’s going to pull something Zack would do.”
“You know, I’m getting real tired of all these surprise visitors,” Hyde grumbled and picked up some plates off the coffee table. “It’s starting to dwindle my will to live.”
“You don’t think he’s going to tell Dad about you two, do you?” Eric asked nervously.
“If he’s asking for an ass whooping, then sure,” his twin chuckled. “I’m not worried about Dad’s reaction, I want to know his true intention.”
“Yeah, it can’t get worse than finding out about you and Hyde,” Donna chuckled.
“Yeah,” Y/n trailed off, remembering the murder that almost took place. She shook her head, bringing herself back in the moment. “Anyway.”
“He can’t do any worse than what Zack did,” Donna said.
“I wouldn’t put it past him,” Y/n grumbled. “I’m really not in the mood to kick his ass, too.”
“Hey, I’m your husband. That’s my job,” Hyde piped up and smiled at her, making his way into the kitchen.
“And you’ll look sexy while doing it,” she responded and followed him into the kitchen.
Eric and Donna trailed behind them as well, carrying the rest of the garbage and dishes.
Kitty sat at the table with a glass of bourbon, reading a Cosmo magazine.
“Uh, oh. Someone pulled out the bourbon,” Y/n sang-song. “What’s got you upset?”
“Oh, nothing,” Kitty said hoarsely as she flipped through her magazine. “It’s nice knowing all my children are sinners.”
“Ugh, Mom,” Eric and Y/n groaned in unison.
“And the fact that you two partied and drank in high school,” Hyde tsked, watching as the twins turned to him with wide eyes and murderous looks.
“You what?!” Kitty screeched.
“Nothing!” Y/n seethed. “Hyde is just a little loopy from his head injury.”
“What? I don’t have a—”
He didn’t finish as he was wacked hard upside the head.
“Ow, Y/n!” Hyde grumbled, rubbing his head, but his smirk didn’t falter nor go unnoticed.
“It doesn’t matter anyway,” Y/n said and finished throwing away the trash. “I want to know why, out of all the guys in Point Place, why did he have to come knocking at my front door?”
“Come on, Y/n, whatever happened between you two was a while ago,” Donna said, carefully picking her words. “I don’t think he’s here to start anything.”
“I don’t know,” she responded. Her mind was reeling of the possibilities. “If Zack was a problem before, I can’t imagine what Connor is going to be.”
“Oh, Y/n, you’re being a little dramatic,” Kitty said and stood from the table with her bourbon in hand. “Connor isn’t going to do anything. You’re married now with twins on the way. I don’t think he’s going to try anything.”
“Maybe not, but that doesn’t ease my nerves,” she responded and grabbed a snack from the fridge.
“Don’t let one person ruin your day,” Kitty said exasperated. “You had a great day! You had a beautiful baby shower—thanks to me—and you got amazing gifts—also thanks to me—and now you have everything you need for these babies! Why would you want to let an ex ruin that?”
“I guess,” Y/n sighed, rubbing her eyes. “I just don’t have the time or energy to deal with another ex-problem. I want to focus on the babies and figuring out what I’m doing to do with my life.”
“You still haven’t figured it out?” Kitty asked, shocked.
“Well…no,” she admitted sheepishly. “I don’t know what I’m interested in.”
“Join the club,” Eric said.
“Well, figure it out, you two, because you won’t be living here for the rest of your lives.” She didn’t give them a chance to respond as she marched out the kitchen. 
“Ugh,” Y/n grunted as plopped down at the table. “I’m exhausted.” A beat passed. “Steven, I’m hungry.”
He sighed and looked at her adoringly. “What do you want?”
She perked up. “A big fat cheeseburger with extra pickles and large fries. Oh, and a chocolate milkshake!”
“You got it,” he said and kissed her before grabbing his keys.
“Can you get me something?” Eric asked.
“No,” Hyde called over his shoulder as he walked out the door.
Eric turned back to his sister who was grinning. “Nice husband you got there.”
“I know,” she responded dreamily.
Suddenly, the door slid open revealing Connor and Red with Connor holding a chainsaw.
“Thanks, Mr. Forman. I know my mom is going to be really happy once my dad cuts off those noisy tree branches. She’ll finally be able to sleep at night now that the branches won’t be hitting her window.”
“You’re welcome. Just remember to bring it back,” Red said, smiling. “Tell Chuck I said hi and to give me a call. Maybe he’d like to grab a few beers and catch up.”
“I’ll let him know,” Connor chuckled innocently before he caught sight of Y/n. His eyes suddenly turned vulture like as if he was waiting for his prey to die. “I’ll see you later,” he purred.
A shiver ran down her spine, and not in a good way. “Ew.”
 “Come on, sugar, don’t be like that.”
“Wow, okay, we have a lot to unpack here,” she stated and stood to her feet. “One: Don’t call me that. It’s gross, you’re gross. And second of all: I don’t know why you out of all people have to be here, but stay away from me, stay away from my friends, and stay away from my family. Specifically, my husband.”
“Trust me, sweets, I wasn’t planning on being anywhere near you.”
She squinted at him. “Good. I already had to deal with Zack, don’t make me deal with you, too.”
“Oh, yeah, I heard about that,” he snickered. “You made him run away with his tail tucked between his legs. Real badass what you did there.”
“Don’t patronize me,” she spit. “I don’t need you bringing your crap into my life. There’s a reason why we didn’t move forward with our relationship.”
“You call what we had—or did—a relationship?” he sneered. Her eyes widened as he smirked at her. “Darling, I only hooked up with you because I needed a release.”
“You did WHAT?!” Red barked, making Y/n jump.
“This is it; this is how I die,” she whispered to Donna who was sitting behind her.
“You hooked up with your camp counselor?!” Red continued to shriek and turned to Connor. “You’re like two years older than her!”
“Hey, man, she wanted it just as much. She was hot on me like a moth to a flame.”
Y/n thought she was going to vomit right then and there.
“Connor, man, do you think this is smart to do with my dad and a chainsaw in the same room?” Eric muttered out of the corner of his mouth.
“I’m going to kill you with my bare hands!” Red roared.
"Wow, okay, go straight to it," Eric murmured and got behind Y/n.
“And then I’m going to detach every single one of your limbs for fish bait and if that is able to bring me any use, then that is the most useful you’ve ever been in your entire life!” Red continued.
Connor chuckled as if he just didn’t receive a threat from Red who was very capable of following through. “Yeah, okay. Thanks for the chainsaw, man.”
“I don’t think so,” Red countered and ripped the chainsaw out of his hands. “You can get the hell out of my house.”
The smile on Connor’s face faded. “Fine.”
“Oh, and tell Chuck that he’s a son of a bitch and I never liked him.”
Connor didn’t respond, but turn on his heel and walk out. Once they heard the front door slam close, Red whipped to his daughter who was cowering away from him.
“What the hell was that about?” he demanded. “All that crap he was saying—he better be lying because I’m tired of hearing things about you that a father should never hear about his daughter.”
“It’s not as bad as it sounds,” Y/n responded cooly, even though her heart was about to beat out of her chest.
“Okay, then tell me how it is, then,” Red challenged as he put the chainsaw down to cross his arms. “Tell me how it’s ‘not as bad as it sounds.’”
“We went out a couple times and kissed once,” she lied—sort of. “Nothing beyond that. He was just being a prick. And he told me he was the same age as me, so I didn’t think anything of it.”
Red stared at her for a moment, deciphering whether she was telling the truth or not. She held her breath while under his scrutinized glare.
Another beat passed. “Fine.”
Her gaze snapped to his. “Fine?”
“Fine,” he repeated. “At this point I don’t care if you’re lying to me. I’m just tired of your ex-boyfriends.”
“Believe me, so am I,” she grumbled and watched as Red walked out the kitchen. “I’m still not convinced that he’s gone for good.”
“He’s gone for now,” Donna said, attempting to soothe her best friend. “Try to relax.”
“Keyword is ‘try’,” she grumbled and allowed Donna to lead her back to the table. Putting her hands on Y/n’s shoulders, she guided her down into the chair.
“Look, you’re three months away from popping and any stress isn’t good for the babies. You need to find a way to destress. Decompress tonight and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Okay?” Eric said, trying to comfort his sister.
Y/n’s face scrunched up in realization. “Isn’t that from my book?”
“Hey, I get bored. And I’m reader, I can’t help it.”
Y/n chuckled as Donna handed her a juice. “Thanks.”
“Okay, let’s forget about Connor,” Donna continued and sat next to her best friend. “What do you want to do?”
“Well…I could go for a movie,” she perked up.
Donna nodded. “Okay, sure. What movie do you wanna see?”
“I heard the new Rocky movie was good.”
“Nah, nah, nah, you wanna see Mad Max,” Eric intercepted. “Now that movie was badass!”
“Or,” Y/n continued, ignoring Eric. “I could go upstairs, get into my comfiest pjs and put on a movie and wait for Steven to bring me my food so I can go to bed early.”
“You’ve been sleeping a lot more lately,” Eric said, concerned.
“I’m busy incubating right now. Let me know how well it goes for you when you get pregnant.”
“Ha, ha, very funny,” he deadpanned.
“No, but I am tired and I just want to snuggle up with my husband.” She checked her watch. “Where is Steven with the food?”
“It’s only been a few minutes,” Eric said, cutting himself a slice a cake Kitty had made earlier in the day.
“This town ain’t that big,” Y/n countered. “I swear, if he’s not here in five minutes, I’m going to start eating you.”
Eric’s eyes widened.
“Hey, Doll,” Steven said, sliding the door open. “Sorry, it took so long. The line was—”
“Oh, thank God,” Eric cried out and grabbed Hyde’s shoulders and spun his body around so that Eric was using him as a human shield. “Y/n was about to start honing in to eat me.”
“What?” Hyde responded, barley stumbling back. “No, she wasn’t and—get off me, Forman!” He shrugged Eric off his shoulders.
“Is that mine?” Y/n asked, pointing to the white, greasy bag in her husband’s hand.
“Who else’s would it be?” he asked, teasing. “Here you go. And here’s that milkshake.”
“Thank you, baby,” she cooed and kissed him.
“Of course.” He looked around the kitchen, noticing Connor’s absence. “Where’s wannabe frat boy?”
“He left. He told my dad that we were a thing.”
“What?!”
“Yeah…”
“And the place is still standing?” he quipped.
“It wasn’t about to be,” Y/n chuckled and sat down to dig in.
“Yeah, sounds about right,” Hyde said and swiped one of her fries.
She smacked his hand away. “Hey! Get your own.”
                                             --Time Skip—
“Hey, Honey, do you have the new The Knack album?” Y/n asked while browsed through the records at Groove’s.
“Yeah.” Hyde rounded the checkout counter and joined her at the crates of records. He flicked through a few before he pulled out and handed it to her. “One The Knack record for my pretty lady.”
“Forever the gentlemen,” she flirted and took it from his grip. She flipped it over to see the price. “Oh, Mr. Hyde I don’t have any money to pay for this.” She twirled a piece of hair around her finger. “Will you take any other form of payment?”
Steven looked at her with hooded eyes, smirking, and took a step closer to her, a hand resting on her hip. “I can think of one.”
She hummed. “Where can I give your payment?”
“The office is empty,” he purred and started kissing her jaw.
“Does it lock?” she breathed.
“I installed one for a reason.”
Y/n felt a moan creeping up in the back of her throat as she felt his lips brush against her sweet spot on her neck. “Are you busy?”
“I can take my break.”
“Really, you two? At work?” an annoyed voice piped up from behind them.
They spun around to see Angie standing there, holding a clipboard and a file.
“In the middle of the store, no less,” she continued. “Very professional, Steven.”
“You’re right,” Hyde said and grabbed Y/n’s hand. “We still have the office.”
He started to tug her towards the office when Angie stopped them.
“No! Don’t defile our office like that!” Angie argued. “I do our paperwork and eat my lunch in there!”
“Oh…you might want to find another place to eat now,” Y/n said sheepishly.
Angie’s eyes widened. “EW! What is wrong with you two?!”
Steven shrugged and wrapped an arm around Y/n's shoulders. “What can I say? We’re hot for each other.”
Angie scoffed. “Well, you can’t leave the floor anyway. You need to do inventory, remember?”
Hyde sighed in annoyance. “C’mon, man, we have until Friday to finish it.”
“Yeah, and it’s Tuesday and I’ve already done half of the work,” she argued. “I think having your wife here is distracting you.”
“Hey, ‘his wife’ has a name and you know that!” Y/n piped up.
“Honey, I’ve got this,” Steven said defensively. “My wife has a name, and you know that!”
“She just said that,” Angie said.
“I know,” he replied and shuffled his feet, straightening his back. “It sounds better coming from me.”
Y/n’s eyes rolled but couldn’t stop the smile that spread across her face.  
“Besides, she has every right to be here just as much as everyone else,” Hyde continued. “If you don’t want her here, then I’m not going to be here. You know what? That sounds like a good idea. C’mon, Y/n, let’s go—”
As he turned to walk out, Angie stopped them again. “You can’t go anywhere. You said you were going to lock up the store tonight.”
Steven stopped dead in his tracks and turned back around. “When did I say that?”
“Yesterday, when I asked you if you could lock up tonight because I have a date.”
Hyde thought back to the day before, trying to remember when he agreed to do it. It suddenly hit him when he had strolled in after “lunch” and was barley listening to her as he watched the patterns on the wall dance.
“In my opinion, I didn’t know what I was agreeing to,” he argued, and Angie rolled her eyes. “Besides, who do you have a date with?”
“No one in particular,” she said, the file suddenly becoming interesting.
“Angie…” he warned. “Are you going out with Kelso?”
“No,” she said, a little too loudly.
“Angie, you can’t go out with Kelso, man! Kelsos have a bad rep. Even the sign entering Point Place says that.”
“Yeah, he’s right,” Y/n said. “It literally says, ‘Don’t date Kelso.’”
Angie shook her head, rolling her eyes. “You guys have nothing to worry about. It’s just dinner.”
“Yeah, and you’re going to be dessert,” Y/n quipped, earning a dirty glare from her husband. “Look, if you don’t want to end up pregnant like the last chick, don’t—and I cannot stress this enough—date Kelso.”
“Well, then I can just join your club then,” Angie said snidely.
Y/n squinted at her sister-in-law, feeling insulted. “You know what? Let her get knocked up, I don’t care,” she said and walked away to sit down at the counter.
“C’mon, can you close up tonight?” Angie said. “Do you want me to beg?”
“Actually, yeah, I do.” Steven changed his stance, legs spread apart with his arms crossed. “Go ahead.”
She groaned. “Fine. Please?”
He scrunched his face. “No. You’re not going out with Kelso. I forbid it.”
He walked past her to join Y/n at the register.
“Forbid it?” Angie asked. “You can’t forbid me to do anything!”
“I don’t care, man. Kelso is bad news, and I won’t let him hurt you because that’s what he’ll do.”
“Awe, that’s so sweet that you’re looking out for me,” she cooed.
He leaned against the counter on his hands. “No, it’s not that. I don’t want to have Kelso officially related to me. I already can’t stand him as my friend.”
“Okay fine. I won’t go out with him,” Angie said, pouting. “But you’re still going to lock up for me tonight.”
“Fine.”
“But that’s not the reason why I came out here.” She handed him the folder in her hand. “I hired a new girl and she’s on her way right now to fill out the paperwork.”
“We were hiring?” he asked, flipping through the file. “What’s she like?”
“Well, her name is Mandy, she’s twenty and still in college. Very sweet, very smart, and very cute.”
“Oh, good to know. Didn’t even know we were hiring.”
“It’s only part time, but she’ll be a good addition to the store.”
“Uh, quick question,” Y/n piped up, holding up her hand. “Why didn’t you think to ask me? I’m not only here every other day, I know my way around the store.”
“Because when you go into labor, we’d have to find a temporary replacement and I don’t want to go through that trouble. It’s better to just have someone already lined up,” Angie responded. “Besides, having a pregnant lady here might turn off some customers.”
“Oh, well, thanks for your consideration,” Y/n muttered bitterly.  
“She starts Monday. Make sure she fills out all the forms and has her driver’s license and social security card,” Angie directed.
“Do we really need all that stuff?” Hyde asked and tossed the folder on the counter beside him. “It’s just you and me, man. We don’t need a third person here.”
“Extra help won’t hurt,” she said. “Besides, she’ll really help out when you go on paternity leave.”
“Paternity leave? I’m only going to be gone a few days, maybe a week.”
“A week?!” Y/n interrupted. “I’m going to push two full grown babies out of a hole the size of a pea and you’re only going to be home for a week?!”
“Well, Y/n, I still have to bring home a paycheck,” he replied, turning to his wife. “You can’t buy diapers without me bringing home the dough.”
“Oh, come on, you know how Dad is,” Angie said. “We both know he’s going to pay you a little extra. You are making him a grandfather anyway.”
“I’m not going to assume that he’s going to pay me, Angie,” he said, opening the cash drawer to count it.
“Yeah, because he’s my hardworking man,” Y/n gushed and wrapped her arms around his middle, kissing his shoulder.
“Ugh, get a room,” Angie said, rolling her eyes.
“Well, we tried but you clam-jammed me,” Hyde said and snickered after Angie wrinkled her nose at him.
“Just…be nice to the girl when she comes in, will you?” Angie asked desperately and looked at Y/n. “And keep your hands to yourselves.”
“Oh, you mean like this?” Y/n grabbed her husband and smashed her mouth to his, roaming her hands all over his back, shoulders, and butt.
Steven went along and gripped her hips, returning the kiss.
“Uh…is there where I’m supposed to fill out paperwork?” a small voice piped up.
The couple pulled apart instantly. In front of the counter stood a petite girl with dark flowing hair and dazzling green eyes. She was skinny but had a natural big bust which was really pointed out by her sling bag strap resting between her breasts. Her face was round and innocent with a natural pink tint to it. Overall, she was absolutely gorgeous.
Y/n couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.
Angie could feel her face heating up and blocked her of the PDA. “You must be Mandy,” she chuckled nervously.
“Is this how your employees interact with each other?” she asked with a hint of a smile.
“No!” Angie quickly defended. “They’re…they’re—uh—”
“Married,” Hyde finished for her. “And she’s not an employee. This is my wife, Y/n.”
“Hi, I’m Mandy,” she said, waving.
“I’m Steven Hyde, I’m the manager,” he said and shook her hand. “But you can call me Hyde.”
“So, you’ll be my boss?” she asked.
“Yes, and her too,” he pointed to Angie. “You’ll probably be dealing with her more than me, though.”
“Okay,” she said, nodding her head. “Sounds easy enough.”
“Trust me, man, it is,” he said, walking around the counter and hopped onto it, his legs dangling. “Just keep the store running and don’t let anyone steal anything and you’ll be golden.”
“Well, there’s more to that,” Angie corrected, giving Steven a look. “But that’s the gist of it.”
“Okay, sounds good,” she beamed. “Where should I sign the papers?”
“Here, I’ll take you into the office,” Hyde said and grabbed the folder then lead her into the office. He turned briefly to shoot Angie and Y/n a smirk before entering the room.
Once they disappeared, Y/n turned to Angie. “What the hell? You couldn’t hire someone else?”
She couldn’t even be bothered to look up from her clip board. “What do you mean?”
“I mean, you couldn’t have hired someone old and ugly?!”
Angie finally looked up with a glint in her eye. “Do you have a problem with Mandy?”
“Do I have a problem?” Y/n repeated. “You purposely hired her to piss me off, didn’t you?”
Angie sighed, now annoyed. “What’re you talking about? I put a help wanted ad in the paper a few days ago and she answered it. I didn’t do anything on purpose.” She looked at Y/n who was busy glaring at the office door that was now closed.
“Why is that door closed?” she asked, pointing to it.
“For confidentially reasons,” Angie responded like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “You know that office has other uses besides what you guys do. Anyways, what has gotten into y—?” A smirk then danced across her lips realizing what it was. “Are you jealous of Mandy?”
“What?” Y/n cried out. “Of course not!”
“Really? Because I think I’m starting to see some green poke through.”
“Angie, I’m not jealous of Mandy, okay?” Y/n said, a little weakly. “It’s just…I don’t like the way she looked at him.”
“She didn’t look at him in anyway—” Angie started, but then realized that it was a moot point. “Y/n…if you’re worried about if he’s going to try anything with her, he’s not.”
Y/n moved her attention to Angie who, for the first time, was talking to her like a normal human being and not just some annoyance. “I know, but…she’s his exact type from before.”
Angie popped out her hip and rested her fist on it. “How do you know she’s Steven’s type?”
“Well,” she stuttered and looked down at her hands that were resting on the counter. “She’s pretty and…and tall—”
“She’s not that tall.”
“Okay, but she also has a rack on her!”
Angie snickered and flicked her eyes down to Y/n’s swollen chest before looking back up. “Yeah, because hers are the problem.”
“And she’s older!”
“So?”
“She’s wiser! She’s in college!”
Angie hummed, thoroughly amused at this point. “Anything else?”
“She’s—”
“Skinny?” Angie interjected.
Y/n snapped her attention to her sister-in-law. “Are you enjoying this?!”
“Maybe a little bit,” she admitted and set the clipboard down. “Look, I don’t think you have anything to worry about with Steven. Steven is a lot of things, but a cheater ain’t one of them.”
“Yeah, I’ve said that before,” Y/n mumbled.
“With the way Steven looks at you, you’ll be fine,” Angie continued and started flicking through the vinyl’s and checking them off her check list.
“Yeah,” Y/n sighed. “It’s not him I’m worried about, though.”
                                                   --Time Skip—
“So, you think the new girl is going to go after Hyde?” Donna asked later that night as they hung out in her bedroom. An empty pizza box sat at their side along with two coke bottles and juice boxes as Donna painted Y/n’s toes a baby pink.
“I don’t know, I mean, she didn’t interested, but I don’t know what happened after they went into the office,” Elena sighed.
“C’mon, you don’t think Hyde would actually cheat, do you?”
Y/n shrugged. “No, but I can’t trust a girl won’t throw herself at him.”
Donna screwed the cover back on the nail polish and used a magazine to fan the polish dry. “I don’t think you have anything to worry about.”
“You think?”
“Yeah, I mean you remember what happened last time.”
“Exactly! I remember what happened last time and I don’t want a repeat of it! Remember Amber?”
“I don’t think that’s going to happen again,” Donna reassured.
“It was only six months ago, Donna!”
“Y/n, listen. Hyde has a lot to worry about then some girl coming onto him, alright?”
“You didn’t see her, Donna,” Y/n whined and got up carefully as to not ruin her nail polish. “She was really cute and not pregnant and older! She’s in college!”
“What?! No way!” Donna exaggerated, feigning shock.
“Yeah! She can easily have—you’re making fun of me, aren’t you?”
“I’m sorry,” she laughed. “But you’re being a little ridiculous.”
“Am not!” Donna gave her a look and Y/n’s shoulders slumped. “Okay, maybe a little. I just don’t seem big chested college bimbo all over my husband.” Donna gave her another look. “What?! I’m pregnant and hormonal; don’t contradict me.”
                                                            --Time Skip—
“Hey, Y/n,” Steven said the next morning as he entered their bedroom. She sat on their bed against the headboard as she read her baby book. “We need to think about setting up the twins’ nursery. You got any ideas?”
“Mhm, not really,” she murmured.
He stood at the edge of the bed, staring at his wife. “Well, shouldn’t we go over it?”
She hummed and flipped the page. “Sure, if you want.”
Steven placed a hand on his hip and looked down at her frustrated. “Can you stop reading and look at me?”
A sigh escaped her as she looked up from her book, annoyed. “There, happy?”
“What’s gotten into you?”
She shrugged. “Nothing.”
“Bull,” he spit.
“I’m serious! I’m just reading.”
“You’re not usually annoyed when reading. Seriously, what’s wrong with you?”
“Steven, I told you, it’s nothing.”
“And like I said, it’s bull.”
She stumbled her way off the bed and rubbed her forehead. “You’re right, I’m sorry. Must be pregnancy hormones. What do you have in mind?”
He scrunched his brows at her, but relaxed his features immediately as he decided to let it go. “Yep, well, that’s why I came to you.”
“You’ve always been better at this kind of thing than I am.”
“We can do Winnie the Pooh?”
“What—are our children wusses? No thanks.”
“Okay, what about green? Or blue?”
“What if they’re both girls?”
“Okay, then yellow?”
“Then we’re back to Winnie the Pooh!”
“Okay, then you pick!” she said, frustrated.
“I don’t know, doll,” he said and sat on the bed. “We just need to pick something out so that we can be ready.”
“I can pick up some magazines,” she sighed and sat next to him. “I’ll go today.”
“Well, we can start by rearranging the room,” he suggested, his tone lighter than before. “We do have a lot of crap in there.”
She smiled and rubbed her round belly. “Yeah, we can do that.”
“Good.” He turned to look at her and kissed her forehead.
“I’m sorry for being grumpy.”
“Yeah, well…you were.”
She laughed and threw a pillow at his face. Chuckling, he blocked it and leaned in, kissing her.
                                              --Time Skip—
At lunch that day, the Formans and Hydes sat around the table, enjoying grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Y/n was on her third bowl as she wolfed down her sandwiches.
“Hey, Y/n, mind saving some for the rest of us?” Eric asked.
“Shut up,” she snapped with a mouthful of food. “These aren’t big enough.”
“You really are pregnant, are you?” he asked.
Y/n looked at him with a deadpanned expression. “What gave it away, genius?”
“Okay, no snapping at the table,” Kitty interrupted. “Y/n, Steven tells me you’re going to start decorating the nursery. That sounds like fun.”
“Yeah, we’re going to pick out color samples today,” she responded.
“Oh,” Kitty said, intrigued. “What colors were you thinking? You know, when I had you and Eric, I painted your room gender neutral colors. It was green and orange.”
“Yeah, it was horrendous,” Red commented off-handedly.
“Excuse me?!” Kitty asked. “You didn’t even help me! I was far along as Y/n is and you refused to help me!”
“I did not!” he argued. “Every time I would come in to help, you turned me away!”
“I did not!”
“You said I was messing it up and I couldn’t do it right!”
“Well, you weren’t!”
“And now you’re blaming me!”
“Okay—you know what?” Kitty said and scooted out of her chair and stormed out.
“We were just having a complete normal conversation and she still gets mad at me,” Red said exasperated.
                                                --Time Skip—
Later that day, the gang, minus Donna, found themselves in the basement, hanging out.
“You did what to her?!” Y/n shouted at her brother. 
“I swear it was an accident!” he shouted back.
“How do you accidentally almost break someone’s neck?” Hyde questioned.
“I didn’t almost break her neck!” Eric defended. 
“She can barley move her neck, Forman,” Hyde said.
“Seriously, what in God’s name where you thinking?” Y/n demanded.
“I was already on page twelve!” he defended. “At that point I was a natural.”
“Oh, do you guys hear that?” Hyde mocked. “He read a book for ten minutes and is already a professional!”
“You know what? I already feel bad enough as it is,” Eric said, pouting. “You guys aren’t helping.”
“Well, we’re not here to pat your back,” Jackie piped up.
“Eric, I know I haven’t been here long enough, and please don’t take offense when I say this, but how is Donna still with you?” Markus asked.
“Funny you say that, I was just going to ask the same about Jackie,” Eric quipped.
Markus pursed his lips and nodded. “At least I didn’t almost break her neck.”
“Can’t say the same for her back though,” Kelso smirked.
Everyone stared at him in disgust.
“What?! We can joke about Hyde and Y/n’s sex life, but not Jackie and Markus’s!?” he defended.
“No, you see, we make fun of our sex life,” Hyde said, pointing to him and Y/n. “We mainly do it to freak out Forman. But you bringing up someone else’s is just plain creepy, man.”
“So, Fez, Kelso, have you guys found an apartment yet?” Y/n asked, clearing her throat in discomfort.  
“Yeah, Red convinced Fenton to give us the apartment,” Kelso said, avoiding eye contact with everyone.
“Yeah, and Red seemed so happy, he was laughing the whole ride home,” Fez said with a smile.
Kelso laughed dumbly. “Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Red told Fenton that we knew a lot of chicks. 'Cause Fenton kept checking me out, like he could tell that I knew a lot of chicks.”
At that moment, the basement door swung open, revealing Bob and Donna, whose head was still stuck to the side.
“Eric, I can’t believe you crippled my angel! My pride and joy!” Bob cried out. “It’s killing me to see her like this.”
Eric’s eyebrows furrowed. “Well, then why are you bringing her here then?”
“Oh, I have a date,” Bob said, any sign of distraught gone. “Met a lady at the open house. She's got crow's feet, but she works in a sandwich shop, so I bent the rules. See you, Kitten.” He walked out the basement leaving Donna to her boyfriend and friends.
“Look, Donna, I just want to apologize again,” Eric said, eyes following her as she moved to sit down next to him. “You know, I've been thinking about it, and I don't think I ever really wanted to be a chiropractor. I was just, you know, grasping at straws.”
Donna turned her body to look at him. “You know I’d nod in agreement, but I’m paralyzed.”
“Eric, you know what I’m realizing about you? You’re not good at anything,” Kelso said, smiling at his friend’s misfortune.
“That’s not true,” Fez spoke up. “Don’t forget butt wiping.”
“What?” Y/n asked, confused.
“Don’t ask, it was a circle thing,” Hyde whispered to her.
Eric clicked his tongue in offense. “Oh, you know what? You guys suck. Whenever you're in trouble, I don't burn you. I mean, usually 'cause it's hard for me to think of things right on the spot, but also 'cause, you know, I try to help.”
“That's actually true. I mean, Fez, remember when you wanted to learn how to kiss, and Eric taught you by sticking m&m's to the mirror?” Donna said.
Everyone turned to Fez with amused grins and raised eyebrows.
“What?” Fez asked, sweat beads forming on his brow. “That never happened. I know how to kiss. Oh, shut it, Donna.”
“Yeah, and, Kelso, how about that time I stayed up with you all night to study for that math final. I mean, sure, nothing stuck, but, you know, I blame nature for that,” Eric continued.
“You know Forman, if you can teach Fez how to kiss and Kelso how to do math, you can probably teach anybody anything. Why don't you just become a teacher?” Hyde suggested.
“Hey, Eric, that’s a great idea!” Y/n said, excitedly. “Remember when you taught me to drive? You were so patient and didn’t give up even when I kept hitting the curbs.”
“You still do,” Hyde mumbled.
“What?” Y/n snapped.
“What?” Hyde repeated.
“I’m not a driver!” she defended.
“No offense, Y/n, but I’m afraid for you children when they’re in the car with you,” Kelso said. Y/n grabbed the nearest object by her, which was a tennis ball, and threw it at him. “OW! I said no offense!”
“Shut up, Kelso!” Y/n yelled.
“You know, that makes a lot of sense,” Donna said. “I mean, you have all this knowledge about stuff you have no ability to do.”
Eric thought about it for a minute before his face brightened. “A teacher? Well, I do like helping people. I mean, I'd love to help kids. Yeah. Like, ‘Mr. Forman.’ That just feels really great. Yeah, a teacher. That just feels so... right.”
“That’s it. Forman’s going to be a teacher!” Hyde announced. “This calls for a toast!”
They all grabbed a beer except for Y/n, who sat there pouting.
“Sorry, Y/n,” Hyde shrugged. “To Forman!”
“To Forman!” Everyone cheered.
                                           --Time Skip-- “You sure you want these colors?” Hyde asked Y/n as they stood at the painting store. “Because you know once we paint the walls, we’re not changing it.”
“Yes, I’m sure,” she chirped. “It’s going to be so pretty.”
“Cool. It’s going to be cool,” he corrected. “But, okay.”
Y/n beamed as they bought two cans of paint.
                                             The Next Day…
The doorbell to the Forman house rang in the late morning. Red got up from the den from shining his shoes. When he opened the door, Connor and his father stood there.
Red squared his shoulders and straightened his back. “Connor, Chuck.”
“Hey, Red,” Chuck said, frowning. “I heard you threatened my boy yesterday.”
“Yeah, I did," Red answered honestly. “What about it?”
“I don’t appreciate the way you talked to him.”
“Well, that’s a damn shame,” Red responded dryly. “Is that all?”
“No!” Chuck yelled, causing Red to raise his eyebrows at him. “You apologize to him right now!”
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me, Red.”
“Okay, you want me to apologize? Fine. I’m sorry that your son is a piece of no-good, smug piece of crap who takes advantage of young girls!” he roared. “And I am so sorry that I wasted my time being nice to either of you!”
“Now, you listen here, Forman—” Chuck started, but was cut off.
“I don’t know where you got this entitlement, Chuck, but you certainly didn’t get this from serving with me during Korea. And for you to come here, to my house, demanding that I apologize to you and your kid for the way he treated me daughter than you are out of mind because I ain’t do nothing for you or human garbage of a son. He’s lucky I don’t press charges against him!”
“This isn’t about your loose daughter, Red,” Chuck said. “This is about how you spoke to my boy.”
Red’s face distorted into a look that Chuck hadn’t seen the war. “What the hell did you just say about my daughter?!”
“Oh, come on, don’t be dumb,” Chuck continued. “I know you, Red, and you are so far from it. She probably had it coming. I mean, you probably heard all the stories about her. And giving her current situation, I can’t believe you’d be this blind.”
Connor stood there at the door with a smug look knowing they were getting under Red’s skin.
“Get the hell off my property before I do to you what I did to the Koreans!” Red threatened, his body shaking from anger.
“No, not until we get our apology!” Chuck demanded.
“I’ll tell you what. You get to walk out of here alive, how bout that?”
Chuck straightened his body, matching Red’s energy. “You don’t want to mess with me, Forman. You remember me during the war.”
“Yeah?” Red challenged. “Why don’t you remind me?”      
                                                            Meanwhile…
Up in the nursery, Kitty, Y/n, and Steven were painting the walls, revealing it to be a beautiful light green. “You kids picked a lovely color,” Kitty complimented. “It doesn’t matter if you have boys or girls, it’s going to match either way.”
“Thank you, Mom,” Y/n responded as she rolled paint onto the wall. “And thank you for letting us paint the room. It means a lot.”
“Of course, dear. I’m just so excited to meet my grandbabies!”
Hyde got down from the latter with his white shirt covered in paint and wiped some sweat off his brow. “You know, Y/n, I don’t know if I feel comfortable with you being this close and huffing in these chemicals.”
“I’m fine, Steven.”
“I don’t know. I think maybe you should let me do the painting and then you can help with everything else once I’m done.”
“Steven, I can help!”
“Okay, well, while you two decide on that, I’m going to go get some lemonade,” Kitty announced and made her way to the door, opening it. “Does that sound—”
A yelp and the sound of something heavy thumping to the floor cut Kitty off mid sentence. “What was that?”
She didn’t wait for an answer as she and the Hydes rushed to the top of the stairs before seeing Red standing at the door, screaming.
“You want to be next?!” Silence. “Then get the hell out of here! And I better never see you two sorry asses ever again! Do I make myself clear?!”  
The three stumbled their way halfway down the stairs to see what was going on. Connor was staring down at his unconscious dad with a wild and angry look in his eyes. Before he let him answer, Red slammed the front door and examined his knuckles that were bleeding. As he made his way back to the kitchen, he finally looked up to his family who was staring back at him in shock.
“Oh, hey. You—uh—may want to call an ambulance,” was all he said as he walked into the kitchen to tend to his hand.
“Red, honey?” Kitty called after him. “Red, what happened?”
“Nothing,” he responded as he made his through the kitchen and over to the sink.
The three of them followed him and saw him running cold water on his hand.
“Well, that doesn’t look like nothing!” Kitty shrieked and scrambled to get the first aid kit.
“I learned today that Chuck is just as big of a prick as his son,” Red grumbled, not daring to meet everyone’s eyes.
“Daddy…did you punch Connor’s dad?” Y/n asked.
“I did what I had to do, sweetheart,” he responded and looked at his daughter with soft eyes and smiled. “All I gotta say is, I don’t think you have to worry about that boy anymore.”
Y/n swore she could cry right there, but instead walked over and wrapped her arms around his middle. “Thank you, Daddy.”
“Of course, pumpkin.” He turned the water off and grabbed the towel that was laying on the counter beside him. “Just do me a favor and don’t let any other ex-boyfriends come back to the house, yeah?”
Y/n chuckled. “I’ll try my damn hardest.”
Hyde looked over to Kitty who didn’t look happy or impressed at all. “Come on, Doll, let’s leave your parents alone and go upstairs,” he said quietly and guided his wife through the kitchen.
A beat of silence passed before Kitty spoke up. “What on earth were you thinking?” Kitty started. “Do you have any idea what could’ve happened?”
“I’m sorry, Kitty. He started saying some horrible things about Y/n and I lost it,” he explained. “I’ll tell you what, though, he’s going to need a good dentist. There’s no way he’s going to be able to put his teeth back to normal.”
“Well, in that case,” said and pointed to the table. “Sit. I need to make sure you don’t get an infection.”
It was quiet between them as she started tending to his knuckles. “Gosh, you haven’t done this since we started dating and Frankie Wallace was making passes at me during the military ball.”
“Well, what can I say? I gotta protect what’s mine.”
Her eyes glanced up to meet her husband’s before going back down to his hand. “That’s very sweet, but I think what you did was stupid.”
“What’s stupid was challenging me in my own house about my daughter. It’s not like I didn’t warn him beforehand.”
“We already don’t have a lot of friends, now we’re really not going to,” she scolded. “Red, we’ve become that house!”
“Good! Maybe those dumbasses will finally get the message! I don’t like it when my family gets threatened!”
Kitty finished up wrapped his knuckles and started putting things away. “Well, I’m just glad you’re okay.”
“I’m fine, honey, I promise.”
Kitty’s demeanor changed as she scooted closer to him. “Well, I got to make sure that my big, strong, hunk of a protector is okay. Wouldn’t want him getting hurt or anything.”
Red’s looked down at Kitty, eyes hooded. “That’s my job.”
“So, Handsome, what’re you doing later?”
Red chuckled and leaned over, kissing his wife. “That.”
They looked at each other for moment before they scurried off upstairs.
                                         A Few Minutes Later…
“Steven, honey, I’m fine!” Y/n argued. “I don’t want you to worry about me! I’m fine!”
“I’m not worried about you,” he said back. “I’m worried about the babies.”
“Quit treating me like I’m fragile!”
“You kind of are! Until my kids come out of you, it’s my job to make sure you or the babies don’t get hurt!”
“And that’s really sweet, but—” she was cut off by the sound of springs squeaking. “What is that?”
Hyde furrowed his brows in concentration as he listened. “Well, I did see your parents run into their room not long ago.” The realization finally hit them both. “Ugh, not again!”
Y/n turned to her parents door. “Oh, come on! Other people live here!”

1. tell me you'll never more roam
(read it here on ao3!)
Once upon a time, Jackie Burkhart loved Christmas in Point Place. 
Well, once upon a time, she loved Christmas; it just happened that at that point, she had spent all her Christmases in Point Place. 
Though Wisconsin winters were more than brutal, she loved how bright and shiny the snow made everything look. She enjoyed hot chocolate and catching snowflakes on her tongue. She adored looking at the Christmas lights her neighbors would put up. She relished the feeling of goodwill and was elated by how happy and peppy it made everyone, even the resident Scrooges. 
Most of all, though, she loved celebrating the holiday with people that loved her, her family. 
Not the Burkharts, of course; Jack had become negligent long before going to jail, and Pam had never bothered to care for her only daughter while they were in the same country, let alone different ones. No, Jackie’s family consisted of Red and Kitty Forman and, for a brief but shining moment, Bob Pinciotti. Once upon a time, she would even consider the basement gang to be a part of that family: Donna, her best friend and the closest thing she had to a sister; Eric, the nerdy almost-brother that tormented and teased her as if she really was his sister; Michael, her loveable but stupid ex-boyfriend; Fez, the girliest and best guy-friend she ever had; and Steven, the absolute love of her life. She loved spending time with them, even if they were just sitting around the stinky old basement. These people made the holidays worth it, and the holiday season wasn’t complete without seeing them.
But that was all once upon a time. Christmas in Point Place was something out of a fairy tale, and Jackie had long since learned that fairy tales weren’t real. 
She knew better than to go back now. 
It’s not like she had the time to do so, anyway. She was a busy and respected fashion designer, one of several in a pretty prestigious fashion house in New York City. She was in the middle of designing her very first solo collection; it was a big task but not something that she necessarily had to be in the city for at this stage. Still, it was better if she was, just in case anything went awry. 
She could take a few days off if she wanted, but why should she? She clawed her way up the ladder on nothing but her own merit and had far too many responsibilities to tend to out here to ensure her status was maintained, or so she claimed to Kitty whenever the inevitable invitation would come. Beyond work, too, she had an apartment to take care of, plants to water, elderly neighbors to cook for, and no desire to see the people she purposefully left behind.
Kitty Forman never accepted that Jackie never wanted to come back, and Jackie never gave in to her mother figure’s pleading to come home. 
Well, not until this year, anyway. 
“I really can’t, Mrs. Forman,” Jackie insisted on their weekly phone call one November night, a hint of desperation in her voice. “I’m so busy with the studio. We’re working on a mock-up of the design concept, and one of the seamstresses needs emergency surgery, so we’re already down a hand, and—”
“Now, Jackie.” Kitty’s voice crackled through the phone, her own tell-tale signs of desperation seeping into her voice. “I have been very patient with you, young lady, but this has gone on long enough. Now, you need us, Jackie, especially after this year you’ve had. And besides, it’s been how many years since we’ve had you over for Christmas?” 
“Not that long,” Jackie muttered.
“Christmas of ‘78! That was your last Christmas here, wasn’t it?”
“Yes, Mrs. Forman, but—”
“And Fez will be here,” Kitty continued, trying her hardest to make her case. “You still talk to him, don’t you? Won’t it be so nice to see him again?” 
“Of course, Mrs. Forman, but I don’t—”
“And Eric will be here since he still lives here, but Laurie won’t be, so you can have her room!” Kitty laughed nervously, hoping this sold her on the idea. It didn’t; Jackie had no desire to sleep on a mattress that had seen more action than a bed at the Playboy mansion. “Well? What do you say?” 
Jackie took a long pause to collect all her strength for what was coming next. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Forman.” 
“Oh.” There was another pause, a long one, and then a sniffle. “Well, honey, you’ve left me no choice. Red,” she called away, and Jackie instantly groaned.
“No, Mrs. Forman, don’t—”
“Loud One,” Red grunted into the phone. “Why is my wife crying?” 
Jackie rolled her eyes. Of course she was crying. “I told her I couldn’t make it out for Christmas and New Year’s this year.”
“And why the hell not? I know for a fact you have paid time off that you haven’t used, young lady, so I suggest you use it for this holiday season because Kitty won’t take no for an answer.” 
“I took some time off,” she argued half-heartedly. “Whenever Eric visits, I take time off to see him. Remember when Eric’s layover landed here after the rest of his Africa teaching gig? I was the one who showed him around the city, Mr. Forman.” 
“That was years ago, Loud One, and it was just three days you took off. If you can take time off for the dumbass, you can sure as hell take time off for us. We—I mean, Kitty misses you, okay?” 
She sighed and pressed her forehead against the wall, eyes closed tight. “I don’t want to see them again, Mr. Forman.” 
“And you won’t,” he said without missing a beat. It was almost as if he expected this point to be brought up. “The neighbor girl doesn’t come around as much now that she and the dumbass are broken up, the kettlehead has his own family to take care of now, and the hophead is going to Christmas dinner at his dad’s. You won’t be seeing anyone you don’t want to, Loud One. We’ll make sure of it.” Then, in a much softer voice, he spoke again. “Come home, Jackie.” 
She sighed again, cradling her head in her hand. Her resolve had been firm until those last three words, but now, thinking of Point Place as her home was suddenly appealing again. “Do you think we could work on the cars together while I’m there?” 
“Well, you twisted my arm,” he gruffed, but the smile in his voice was clear as day. 
--
To say Jackie was apprehensive about this trip was one hell of an understatement. She didn’t even remember the plane ride from New York to Milwaukee save for all the worrying she did, burning through two separate cassettes on her Walkman without even realizing it. She was so out of it, in fact, that Jackie nearly did an about-face once she hit the arrivals terminal of Milwaukee International Airport. Still, a familiar face stopped her in her tracks. 
Well, that’s not entirely true. A sign that was thrust high in the air stopped Jackie in her tracks, with Devil written on it in big red block letters. Jackie’s eyes locked onto that sign and instantly shifted to the face of the man holding it, a smile immediately pulling at her lips in response to the giant grin on his. 
“There she is, back to make my life a living hell,” he called, not caring about the attention it was bringing him in the crowded airport terminal. 
Jackie didn’t care either, pulling her bag behind her as she ran up and into Eric’s arms. “String Bean,” she said warmly, “Merry Christmas Eve! It’s so good to see you! I didn’t know you were picking me up.” 
“I thought I’d surprise you,” he grinned, taking her bag from her. “Well, Red didn’t want you to take a taxi. You know how he is. You’re his favorite.” 
“Hell yeah, I am,” she laughed, falling into step beside him. 
Her friendship with Eric surprised everyone, given that they had always been antagonistic toward each other when he left. Sure, they both knew that it came from a place of affection, but this was apparently news to everyone else. 
Jackie was one of the few people who wrote to Eric regularly when he was in Africa, keeping him involved and up-to-date in all things happening in Point Place until she left in December of ‘79. She told him about Chicago, about Sam the Stripper, about Randy. Then, after she had moved, Jackie filled him in on the two-day stay in the hospital when she had to be treated for pneumonia after falling into the creek after the county fair and how that had been the driving force to finally do the damn thing she was meant to do and move away already.
And, though Jackie never expected a response, she got one almost every time. Each letter was another deep dive into his life in Africa, his thoughts on what he saw out there, and all the things Jackie was telling him. In each response, Eric was thoughtful and considerate and only a little snarky, which Jackie greatly appreciated. He showed genuine concern for her physical and mental health and even offered up a number for her to call him when she could. 
Then all of a sudden, they had a weekly call scheduled, and when Eric was due to come back, he even planned his trip back so that he had a few days of layover in New York City. He’d been back once or twice since then, usually on weekends to accommodate his teacher’s schedule, and so Jackie didn’t have to take time off during her tumultuous first months as a designer. 
She was the first one he spoke to when he was trying to figure out his next steps after Africa and to gush about his crush on a fellow teacher; he was the first one she called about her new collection and the only one to fly out when she was going through a tough breakup. They supported each other through ups and downs; it was the most healthy and fulfilling friendship Jackie had ever had. 
Remembering how much he meant to her was the only thing keeping Jackie from frogging Eric now, though, because his conversation topics were terrible. “He asks about you, you know?” 
“I don’t care,” she said flatly, staring out the window. “You know better than to tell him anything.” 
“I know,” he soothed, his voice only slightly higher-pitched. Jackie knew how much Eric hated lying to his friends, but this was important to her. “He knows we talk and that I’ve visited you, but I don’t tell him anything, and neither does Fez, I think. I just wanted you to know that he asks.” 
“And I just want you to know I don’t care.” 
Eric snorted but said nothing else for the next ten minutes. However, when he broke his silence again, Jackie genuinely wished he hadn’t. “I mean, he’s really sorry about the whole thing.”
“Eric,” she groaned, “seriously, String Bean, you need to can it. He should be sorry. I was in the hospital because of him! Not to mention all the vile stuff he was saying to me the entire time before that. You weren’t there, Eric. You don’t know.” 
“I know what you told me,” he insisted, “and I know what he tells me, and I’m telling you, he’s not just sorry about the creek. It might be worth giving him another chance.” 
“Stop the car.” 
“What?” 
“Stop the car, Eric!” 
As the Vista Cruiser screeched to a halt, he looked quizzically at his passenger. “What’s your deal, Devil?” 
She sighed and put a hand on his shoulder. “I’m only going to say this once because being in Wisconsin pulls my old self out just a little bit, and the old me hated begging, but I’m begging you not to bring him up again. I know he’s your brother,” she added hurriedly when Eric’s mouth opened again, “and that you love him, yadda yadda, whatever. Still, I have no intention of hearing about him or anyone else while I’m here. Red and Kitty know this already, so you need to get it through your thick skull like yesterday. Are we clear?” 
Eric stared out the windshield, unseeing. “Is it really that painful?”
“Yes,” she shot back immediately. “Those months you left us in that basement... god, Eric, they were the worst months of my life. And that’s counting going broke and losing my parents. Even the stuff with Brian...” She gulped. “All of it. Chicago and the stripper and the freakin’ pneumonia that landed me in the hospital, hell, those burns they kept shooting at me too, all of it... it broke me, broke me to the point that even Brian didn’t manage to get to yet.” 
The look Eric gave her, the heartbroken horror of remembering seeing Jackie in the aftermath of the Brian ordeal, had Jackie reaching out for his hand. He gave it to her without hesitation.
“He’s dead to me, Eric. Steven Hyde is dead to me, and I’m pretty sure he thinks of me the same way, no matter what he tells you to save face. I mean, he nearly killed me, remember?” 
“He never wanted that,” Eric said softly, squeezing her hand. “Seriously, you won’t even see him again? Jackie, I think he still lo—” 
“Hell no.” In an instant, Jackie had her fingers in her ears. “Don’t you dare finish that sentence, Eric Forman, or I’ll shove my foot so far up your ass, you’ll be tasting leather for weeks.” 
The threat pulled a startled laugh from the guy. “Jeez, with your Forman Rage and the foot-in-the-ass threats, it’s a wonder we’re not actually related.” 
“What can I say? There’s a reason Red loves me,” she smirked. “Now drive, String Bean. Our parents are waiting for me.”
“God, it’s like having a more tolerable Laurie around,” he groaned, but he drove off anyway, knowing his parents were just as eager to see their pseudo-daughter again.

i'm just going fucking crazy over here with my transfem kelso headcanon. can no one else see how much sense it'd make for kelso to be either a trans woman or at least nonbinary / gender nonconforming!? letting jackie put makeup and a dress on them and dance around her room? being ashamed when hyde asks her if she shaves her legs and then later admitting she does it bc she likes the way it feels? responding "yes i do" when jackie asks her if she knows what it's like being the prettiest girl at the party and referring to herself as "pretty like a girl" throughout the series? other examples i can't think of rn?? THE EVIDENCE IS RIGHT THERE PEOPLE

WHERE R UUU
im so sorry for being mia, school has been ROUGH
here's a preview of something i'm working on as an apology :))
Tumblr media
you always find yourself here. 
no matter what you do, how long you wait, you always find yourself here - standing outside of eric foreman’s basement - nervous to knock on the door.
you’ve been nervous a lot recently.
a subtle kind of anxiety that creeps up on you, until you can’t feel your fingers and your arms have gone numb. smoking helped. it’s why you’re here now, knocking on your dealer’s best friend’s door. or at least, that’s what you tell yourself as you reach up and rap your knuckles against the wood.
the door gets ripped open, and the look of confusion that was marred on steven’s face slides into surprise. he’s wearing a washed-out band tee, and if you squint, you can see the remnants of a name there, but steven’s tapping his rings on the door, dragging your attention back to his face.
there’s a knowing grin on his face.
“haven’t seen you around in a while,” he states, trailing his eyes up the length of you. the pair of you haven’t seen each other since he tried to teach you how to roll, before getting distracted by one of kelso’s pranks. you nod and nervously twist at the hips, sending the hem of your skirt twirling.
“miss me?” you squint at him. you missed him. you never thought you’d think that. never thought that you would miss steven hyde, yet here you are. hyde raises his brows, tongue trailing the line of his bottom teeth as he tries - and fails - to hide his blushing smile.
steven pulls the door open and you glance around the surprisingly empty basement. 
“been kinda anxious lately.”
“oh, well-” steven starts, patting his chest and looking at you triumphantly, “-hyde’s got something for that”
in a daze, you watch hyde as he lifts the joint to his lips. that anxious feeling tugging at your stomach has scattered, and been replaced with a giggly kind of calm. you let yourself gaze at his ringed fingers, at the way his lips wrap around the paper, at the way he inhales, the smoke wafting out of his mouth and his nose, settling around the room.
jim morrison is singing about an LA woman, and the music settles into your subconscious, the guitar prickling at the cloudy parts of your mind. hyde wordlessly hands you the joint but drops it on the ugly yellow couch. you start giggling, being quick to pick it up and pull it to your lips.
“you get so giggly when you’re high. it’s cute.”
the compliment washes over you, “you think i’m cute?” you giggle, furrowing your brows together and smiling, stupidly. hyde leans back against the couch and motions for the joint.
“mm-hm,” he sounds, casually, pulling the joint to his mouth. “i’ve never told you that?”
“no, you have. just wanted to hear it again.”
hyde’s face splits into a smile, “you’re evil. you come here just to get complimented?”
“s’not my fault you’re so good at it.”
you roll off the bed before he can respond, yelling, “music time!”
steven rolls his eyes and groans.
“i promise it’ll be good - no abba. besides, this album is basically over. i’ll pick something you like.”
“fine,” he dubiously agrees. 
“what do i get if i pick correctly?”
he thinks it over, looking around the room to check if he has anything he’s willing to give you. then he smirks, leaning back on the couch.
“a kiss?” he offers.
you clap your hands excitedly, “okay, gotta slip into focus mode.”
you crack your fingers and roll your neck, giving his crates of vinyl a concentrated stare. you have a lot of options.
“does it have to be your favourite or one you’re just okay with?” 
“oh,” hyde begins, getting comfortable on the couch. he’s manspreading, an arm behind his head, staring at you as he smokes. 
if you weren’t so high, you’d be blushing.
“i want to hear my favourite.” 
“you’re making this extremely hard; do you not want to kiss me or something?” 
a shit-eating grin appears on his lips, “gotta make you work for it, doll.”
you blush and quickly turn away, flipping through the huge music collection. hyde pipes up from the couch as he watches you take your time. 
“i’m getting nervous baby,” he calls, but you shush him, “shut up steven, you’re distracting me.”
bowie, hendrix, fleetwood mac, led zeppelin—you pause and frown at the album. noticing how worn the case is, you set up the record player. a surprised look of recognition floods hyde’s face as he hears the opening chords to black dog.
“no…” he trails off.
you smile excitedly. “did i do good?”
when the drum hits, he jumps from the couch and stalks toward you. your back gets pushed against the countertop before you even register that he’s there. it’s sudden enough that you make a small, startled sound, hands jutting out behind you to grab at the edge of the counter. he slides his hand around your waist, tugging your hips towards him by the small of your back and begins talking as if this isn’t affecting him in the slightest. you, on the other hand… 
“you’ve been stalking me, haven’t you?” he asks, bending down; pouring his red-rimmed eyes into yours. all you can do is stand there and let out a shuddering, stuttering breath.
suddenly, you’re nervous. maybe it’s the drugs, maybe it’s the proximity, but as hyde flicks his gaze from your lips to your eyes -- up close and personal -- you’re a goner. 
“no,” you whisper, gulping. “i’m just observant.” 
“always looking at me,” he tuts, and he’s joking, but you nod regardless. nod because it’s true. 
“yeah, you’re really pretty.”
hyde doesn’t expect that. he pulls a face and snorts, “what?” 
“yeah, like,” you start, tone quiet. you flick your eyes down the length of his throat, fingers coming out to play with the hem of his shirt. 
you briefly smile, “sometimes, i think it’s kinda insane, how pretty you are. you have really nice lips. the hair is appealing, too, of course, but i think it’s the whole package that just – has anyone ever told you that? that you’re pretty? i really think they should have; it’s so obvious—”
hyde shuts you up with a kiss.
he tightens his grip on your back and just kisses you, deep and steady, with no tongue, just the soft feel of his lips and the taste of weed and spit. at first, it shocks you and makes you pause, but then you’re there, moving your fingers to grab at his belt to tug him deeper, pulling away for a second, just to lean forward and kiss him again.“say that again,” he breathes, dark eyes catching yours.

theres queerbaiting in the cartoon???!!!!
We're talking about a 1960/70's cartoon, sadly we can't have a open queer couple in there
BUT everybody and their mother (and the toys in the factory) could smell the queerbaiting in the critters, specially coming from Kickin Chicken character, the first time this happen is in the episode flower boy, 'cause Kickin make some specific comments related to Inoshishi's brother that could implied something more that just ''think he look cool''
Tumblr media
Also in others episodes, Kickin can be see been interesed in both female and male critters, but those interactions are never the center in the plot, mostly a background interaction that is never mentioned by the other critters (for example, in the flower festival, Kickin dance with a peacock with colorful feathers, aka a male one).
On the bright side, you could thing the critters universe is so open mind that Kickin liking boys and girls isn't a problem there (and that what Charlie and Alba use to give Kickin a husband in their fanfic), but obviously Play.Co wasn't going to show that in their cartoon.
There's other queer scenarios around the cartoon, but they're or more subtle or only talked in the canned extra content.

Would it be okay to request a possible time-travel scenario where the gang + Red and Kitty end up in the 2020's and their reactions to basically everything?
Thanks for the request! I tried my best, haha. Not sure if this is what you had in mind, but this is what came out. 😂 It features the whole gang circa 2022(?) Have a request? You can send it here!
Fez fell asleep on the basement couch after an afternoon of consuming far too much sugar. He started to toss and turn on the narrow cushions, his sleep fitful and his brow beginning to sweat.
This dream wasn't beginning like his normal dreams - he wasn't naked on top of a cotton candy cloud, being fed tootsie rolls by a gaggle of naked models. Instead he was - dream!Fez rubbed his eyes, bringing everything into sharper focus - he was inside the Point Place central mall? He blinked a few times, taking it in.
Yep, it was the mall. He shook his head. Everything looked so familiar, but so different to him at the same time.
Fez whipped around, looking all the way around him, and he was surprised to find that the whole gang was there. Looking very peculiar indeed.
"Fez!" Jackie called. She waved at him, holding a small black rectangle in her hand. She was dressed in tight jeans and a leopard print top. "Stand in front of that fountain." She gestured a few feet to his left. "I'll put it on my story."
"What story?"
"My Snapchat story." Jackie rolled her eyes, annoyed that he wasn't listening to her. "Now move!" She waved her hand again, and Fez obeyed through his confusion. She frowned, though, when he just stood in front of the fountain limply. "You need to pose."
"You need to pose, Fez," Kelso agreed. He'd come up behind Jackie. He, too, was dressed strangely. "I suggest looking off into the distance. It's very mysterious." Jackie nodded her approval. "Maybe with a chin grasp," Kelso demonstrated. Now Jackie clapped.
"Michael's very good at this," Jackie informed Fez. "How many Instagram followers do you have now, Michael?"
"Almost 20,000," Kelso crowed, shining an imaginary badge on his chest. "Yeah. That's half as many as Beyoncé."
"No it's not," Donna mouthed, shaking her head. She'd approached too, with Eric.
"Who even comes to malls anymore?" Eric was complaining. "I forgot this was here."
"They're a dying breed," Hyde agreed, trailing a few feet behind. He clasped his belt buckle. "A relic." He grinned at Red. "Kinda like you."
"Watch it," the older man glared. He held his wife's hand in one hand, and a Dick's Sporting Goods bag in the other. "I'm only here for some new tennis shoes." He scowled. "The regular kind, not... lizard feet."
Kitty interrupted, giggling. "The salesman tried to get him to try on some of those newfangled running shoes. The ones with the toes."
"Just not right," Red mumbled, while Kitty continued to giggle. His phone chimed, and he lifted it from his coat pocket and then scowled. "And, damn it, the Packers just allowed another touchdown. Kitty - we've gotta go. C'mon."
"C'mon kids. Everyone in the Tahoe, let's go."
"Fine by me, man. The music here blows," Hyde turned to follow Red and Kitty to the parking garage. Eric and Donna nodded and did the same. A Lil Baby song had started playing, offending their ears.
"Wait!" Jackie protested. "My story!" She stuck her lip out in a little pout, and shook her phone at them all. "I want to document this day."
"Jackie, it's just been a normal day," Hyde said, but he turned around and so did Eric and Donna.
"So what?" she insisted. "It's been a normal day with my favorite people. And I want pictures!"
"Of course you do," Hyde sighed, annoyed. But he was all but won over.
"They always want to document it," Eric agreed. Donna poked his side.
"Starting with Fez," Jackie beamed at him. She held up her phone, and Kelso coached him on 'elongating his cheekbones'. She snapped his picture, and then grinned even wider when she analyzed her shot. "Aw. Fezzie! You're so cute!"
"I'm cuter," Kelso insisted, pushing forward and pushing Fez aside. "Take my picture next, Jackie. But - " he carefully instructed her which angles were his best, and they negotiated the best light.
"Gorgeous, Michael," Jackie promised him after she'd snapped it. "Especially with that new filter."
"Oh, that new filter's the best thing that ever happened to me," he chuckled.
"Don't let Brooke hear you say that," Donna scowled.
"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, m'lady," Eric sidled up behind her and kissed her cheek, quickly diffusing her anger. She smiled and leaned back into him, and Jackie snapped a few candid shots of them.
"Better than the new Star Wars movie?" she teased him.
"Hmm," he pretended to think about it. "It's about 50/50," he teased her back, and she elbowed him.
Finally, Jackie turned the camera around to selfie mode. "C'mere, Puddin'," she gestured for Hyde. He loped over to her, reluctant.
"Jackie," he sighed. "You know how much I hate pictures."
"But you love me, right?" She scrunched up her nose, and he couldn't help but grin. He didn't say anything, but he took off his sunglasses. Jackie grinned triumphantly, and pointed at him. "You didn't say no, Steven. That's as good as - "
He kissed her, and by the time they were done making out he let her take whatever photos she wanted.
Plus, they needed to wrap it up. Red was laying on the horn from the parking garage.
"Come on already! Dumbasses."
"It's okay, Mr. Red," Fez assured him from the passenger's seat. "I have a big bag of tootsie rolls we can eat while we wait, would you like some?"
"No, I sure as hell don't - "
"Ai!"
Fez's eyes blinked open suddenly as he gasped. Mr. Red and Mrs. Kitty stood above him. Who knows how long they'd been there - but just like in his dream, they did not look happy.
"I sure as hell don't want the foreign kid sleeping here again," Red was yelling.
"Hi honey," Mrs. Forman blinked down at him, more kindly. "Did you have a nice nap?" She laughed. "Well, now it's time to go."
"I-I had a dream," Fez explained, gasping for air. "And you were there," he pointed at Mrs. Forman, "And you," he pointed at Red, "And you," he pointed at Jackie and Hyde. They were walking out of Hyde's room, holding hands.
"I know what kind of dreams you have, Fez," Hyde frowned. "I don't want to be in 'em."
"I don't know what kind of dreams you have," Red grabbed Fez's arms and hauled him to his feet. "And I don't want to be in 'em either. Now get out." He shoved him out the door.
Fez was still contemplating his dreamland as he tumbled up the basement's icy steps, sucking in the frigid outdoor temperatures that reminded him he was no longer inside the Point Place mall - or whatever timeline his imagination had created.
"How do I get back there?" he frowned, smacking the side of his head futilely. To the land with the magic rectangles, and the lizard feet, and his happy friends, and never-ending tootsie-rolls?
It was an imaginary place, but it was a place Fez couldn't wait to get back to someday. Maybe tonight, in his dreams...
