AN: I went AU so…yay! Hyde children are mine as are the maybe introduced Forman children if you're interested I have the whole thing planned out including birth years and middle names.

F: Family

If someone had told him, that he would have two kids by the time Forman and Donna had one; that he would be married to Jackie a good two years before Eric even thought of proposing again. At the very least he would have laughed in their face.

Steven Hyde, at least in his early years, could never have been pegged as a family man. There were always the people who everyone knew were going to make great parents—Donna and Eric being at the top of that list, but here he was. A daughter, a son, a wife, hell they have a pet dog. He was a father. He was a father and a disciplinarian, and he liked the responsibility. Irony—far out.

It only took a wedding, two kids, and a damn minivan for him to realize that he was the thing he had always fought against. And it took a conversation with his fifteen year old daughter, who was too smart for her own good, for him to finally understand that family wasn't a bad thing.

It didn't have to represent all that he come to associate with the word. A family was what he and Jackie were building, and it actually made him happy. Family wasn't Bud and Edna too drunk to take him to school. Family was their kids. It was Aunt Donna and Uncle Eric and Gram and Pap Forman. The life he has now was the family he had never dreamt possible. So at age 25 when his first child was born, and at age 43 when she graduated high school he was there—the proud patriarch of a family that, by all means, never should have happened.

AN: Jackie and Hyde's first child is Jessica Page Hyde and was born in 1983, their second child is David Logan Hyde born in 1987. I am going to use this time to say if you're interested in the children (or pregnant Jackie fluff) check out "So You Knocked Her Up" on my stories list. It's a short read I promise :). And please review.
