Ok so I just read the chapters I missed and I loved it. This is a great story! I love how you stayed true to the characters personality and I loved Jackie's rules.

The ride was so worth it.

For once, Hyde is made to pay. Of course, he really slipped his leash this time. Before, he knew what he could get away with, but I guess he finally broke. That was really a surprise; he always seemed so self-possessed, so in control of himself. Oh well...justice may be delayed for a time, but eventually it catches up. I was surprised that Donna seemed sincere in her desire to reconnect with not just Eric, but the rest of her friends as well. Donna, like Hyde, always seemed very self-centered, always putting herself and her own needs, desires and goals before everyone else, no matter who it hurt, and very ungrateful for the good things others did for her. I always felt bad for Eric when she seemed to be caring and loving toward him, because ultimately, she would be setting him up for more abuse. At least that's how I saw her. I'm glad to see that maybe there is a human being inside the lumberjack(lol). It IS possible that maybe she just saw which way the wind was blowing and jumped on the bandwagon to protect herself, but for now I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.
One aspect of the story that I haven't really talked about, and should have, is your depiction of Kelso as a successful police officer, and a family man as well. I liked that very much--it gave him stature. Of course, he's still Kelso, just a little less goofy, and only off-duty. Fez as a successful small business owner, but still recognizably Fez, was also likable. Best of all, Eric and Jackie gave Red and Kitty a little grandson--that is awesome.

Thank you for this wonderful story, Marla. Like I said, it was so worth the ride. :)

Aw that was just so cute! I loved the ending. It was just so sweet! the last part with eric whisking Jackie off upstairs was soo cute! Oh and the part with the father's day gift to Red. big Aw over here. Thank you for a wonderful story. i really am going to miss it. And i hope you have more stories in the works! i'll be waiting!

Well the comments about the first few chapters applies to everyone, with every story, so don't sweat it. Now great ending, i really loved that Eric threw Hyde, and Jackie kicked him in the ribs, GOOD ONE! Now in my opinion the next logical step would be to write a sequal to this story, possibly about the gang's kids, obviously with Eric and Jackie's first being the leader, and oldest of the group. All in all, i am extremely happy with your story, and i will have to reread it from the begining. And 45 chapters! way to stick it out man, i can't do that. I mean i have a 70's show, E/J fic all layed out to about 40-49 chapters, but i may not do it. KEEP UP WITH THIS UNIVERSE, loved it very much.

aw man this is my fav pairing and that 70 show story was hopin u could have continued it but oh well good job

ThanknYou for a Great story; and thank you for making her a red head again !! I am a sucker for those !!

here is to a great story and an even greater ending!
I am eagerly awaiting to see your future story('s) develop! I'll be reading them every chapter of the way

Wow that was a great chapter! I loved it and what a cliffhanger! I didn't expect Donna and Eric's talk to go so well. And Hyde at the end, i feel a little bad for him (but only a little bit) i can't wait to read the next chapter! btw just reading about you writting the ending made me sad.

ERIC KICK HYDE **! That is all, 'nough said.

Oh my GOD !! Donna & Eric are doing better then Jackie & Hyde at talking, it will be interesting too see which way this all goes !!

another great chapter. Personally I think Donna should be forgiven, maybe over time be welcomed back in the group. Hyde on the other hand...I don't know, I never had anything against him, but the way he's acting now...

Awesome chapter! Lots of drama but not too much. i knew it was Randy and Donna in the taxi! lol. Loved the way Eric and Jackie took control with Red. And fez and kelso were great. just when you thought things were getting too serious those guys come in. Glad to see Hyde's not happy with Sam. i know it sounds mean but...ugh I couldn't stand here. Or Randy for that matter. Aw and the end with Red and Kitty was cute and made me laugh. Can't wait to see what happens at Eric and Jackie's!

AH... a battle of wills is taking place. I love the fact that Hyde and Samantha are having "problems", and Hyde appears devistated by Eric and Jackie being together. Again, anything that hurts Hyde, is fine by me, same with Donna. But it appears as if Donna is happy with Randy. I think that Donna only wanted to catch up with Eric, but Hyde came back to get Jackie back. Well Hyde, no such luck PAL! Eric and Jackie are happily together, and no one can change that now, unless one of them is "killed", but if you do that to them, then i'll be a mite flusterd.

Great chapter! Jackie and Eric had both made it clear that their respective past relationships were just that--past, albeit to other people. Here they reaffirm it to each other--this is good, very good. And, about little Jackie and Eric Forman babies, as Eric once said, "Yes--this is what I want to hear." Hyde has always been the Magnificent Bastard--the one who seems to get away with everything--but Eric is ready and more than willing to stand up to him for his Jackie, and Jackie to Donna. This is good writing. The Christmas dinner scenes were great, with Sam keeping Hyde in check(who'da thunk?), and Randy seeming to get along with Eric(they hadn't met during the '70s, if I remember correctly, but it's a few years later and they certainly would gotten to know each other by now, if not grow particularly close), Eric and Jackie helping Red(even if he won't admit, Red must certainly be proud of his son), and Kitty taking charge to bring a resolution to all the conflict. Red had some classic moments as always; you've really got a good handle on writing him, as well as all the others. Oh, I almost forgot, Kelso and Fez are there to keep things from getting too serious, piping in at just the right moments. Again, a great chapter.

Don't Hyde and Sam just look happy with eachother? *insert sarcasm* :P
Wonder what the conversations with Hyde and Donna will be like
