From Drive It Like You Stole It, chapter 3.
“CanI sit here?” She said, signaling the spot at his side on the bedwith Spider-man sheets. Ford nodded and started to play with hisnails, trying to take off the dead skin from between them and theflesh of his fingers. “We didn’t get introduced. I’m Jackie.”
Oh, I bet some of you have already read this scene before. I posted it a while back, in december/november 2016 at poetdameron in a writing game with questions. It isn’t online anymore, but in it, Jackie and Ford talk for the first time when he is six years old and is starting to see and understand that his parents aren’t-- well, they aren’t how his friends say parents are to each other.
‘Finally’, Hyde’s hand squeezed hard on his thigh and he nodded. He could feel Red’s eyes on him and when he looked up, Red nodded to him, as if asking what was going on. Nothing, nothing was going on. Jackie was pregnant. She has been married for years, has been trying to conceive since forever, and now she was… she was having a kid.
LMAO, look at this kick-ass spoiler right here.
Anyway, what’s important of this small part is-- this is the first time in years Hyde hears Jackie’s voice and it’s to announce she is pregnant, that she is FINALLY pregnant, and everyone in the house is so happy, he feels like strange with his own people for the first time since he was a kid and The Formans had took him to their house for the first time.
This scene broke my heart a bit, because I wasn’t planning for it to go the way it did at the end, and it made things complicated for Ford at the time. Because he was just understanding things and it confused the hell out of him for the rest of his life, until the story in present time of the fic starts.
