Quick update: Hyde has a sister, Angie. They're opening up a record store for their fathers business. Nothing else has really happened. I had my first doctors appointment with Kitty, in which it was the first time figuring out I was pregnant. Oh boy, you should've seen her face when she knew Kelso was the dad. But I'm about three months along now.

"Man, I can't believe Thanksgiving's tomorrow." Donna says out of the blue.

"Ooh, me too. But I'm so ready for the food. Peanut probably is too." I smiled as I put my hand on my stomach.

"You called it peanut?" Hyde raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. I thought of it." Kelso said proudly and put a hand in my stomach as well.

I smiled and kissed him quickly.

"Well, anyways, it is that special time of year. I like to give thanks, get Fez drunk, and dress him up like a lady pilgrim." Hyde smiled.

"Well, the joke's on you because this year I'm getting into the dress before I get drunk." Fez explains.

"How is that supposed to help?" I asked as Kelso chuckled. Fez just raised his eyebrows at me and smirked.

"You don't understand, Penny." Fez just laughed and shook his head.

"Hey, guys, I got something really different planned for Thanksgiving. But instead of telling you about it, I'm gonna let it wash over you." Eric smiled and went over to the record player.

"But, Eric, maybe you can let some soap and water wash over you. 'Cause since you've been out of work, you're a little bummy." Jackie said in disgust.

Eric began singing "Grand Illusion" by Styx and I sang along with him, but way quieter. I loved Styx. I'd hide there albums from Hyde because I knew he would probably laugh at me for owning their albums. But they're so good.

"Is that Styx?" Donna chuckles.

"Hell yeah!" I say and high five Eric.

"They just announced a concert Thanksgiving night. Now, if we camp out of tickets, by tomorrow we could be watching five guys in spandex suits shaking their hair sweat on teenage girls." Eric explained.

"Forman, even if I liked Styx, which would mean I was born without ears, I still can't go. My dad wants me and Angie to open the record store by midnight tomorrow." Hyde explained.

"Got any Styx albums?" I asked.

"Sadly. My dad said that we have to have them apparently." Hyde rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"Hey, Penny, why don't you come?" Eric asked.

"Oh, I would love to, a lot, but, I'm not up for camping out being pregnant and all. Also, I wanna eat my Thanksgiving food." I explained and Eric sighed.

"Donna, you in for Styx?" Eric questioned her.

"EricX I'm a deejay. I can't be seen at a Styx concert. It's in my contract." Donna replied.

"Well, Fez, what do you say, my man from another land?" Eric put his hand on Fez's shoulder. Fez smiled awkwardly.

"Eric, where I come from, we have a saying. Yuck, Styx." Fez rolls his eyes.

~~

We were all in the record store. Angie and Hyde were talking to Mr. Barnett. Kelso, Fez, and I all looked around while Jackie listened in on the conversation.

"Alright, well," Hyde begins as William walks out, "As co-manager of this record store, my first order is pizza."

"Ooh, a pepperoni please!" I exclaimed.

"Are you crazy?" Angie asked, "We have to start unloading records."

I walked over to the desk, "Sorry, Ang, but you're not gonna get Fez or Kelso to do anything without some food beforehand."

Hyde nods.

"No, if they don't want to help, they can leave then." Angie says coldly.

"Well, guys, we got a ton of boxes to unpack, posters to hang. So, let's hit it." Hyde sighed out, going to a box and opening it.

Everyone sat in a circle. Of course, I didn't smoke. I didn't know if it would harm my baby or not. I didn't want to take any chances.

They all started thinking of names for the place, but they were all ridiculous. Is this really how we act when we're high? Angie walks out and complains of something burning. Everyone tries to remember the cool name they agreed on, but Angie dismisses it and tells them all the chains are called "Grooves". Everyone ends up walking out, leaving Angie there alone.

"Hey, I'm sorry about them. And don't worry about Hyde. He'll come around and shape up. He always does. I would love to stick around and help, but I really should watch these guys before they do something stupid." I smiled at Angie.

"Thanks, and I hope Hyde shapes up. I can't do this all on my own." Angie confesses to me.

"I know. But Hyde will help. He doesn't like putting in the effort at first, but he'll get there. Don't worry. And don't doubt him either. He's good for this company. And you are, too. You guys are gonna balance each other out." I explained to her and she smiles.

"Thank you so much. I truly hope you're right." Angie nods.

"Of course. Also, you might wanna tone the bitchiness down. No ones gonna wanna help." I pointed to her and she gave me an angry look.

~~

"Man, Hyde, this listening pit is an awesome idea." Kelso says as he leans back on the couch.

It's the next day and we're all at the record store. Boxes aren't unpacked yet, only a couch, table, and some chairs are set up in the middle of the store.

"Oh, I agree." I nod as I lean back, relaxing. Kelso our his arm around me and kissed the top of my head.

Angie walks in, "What is all this."

"Angie, bitchiness." I said in a sing song tone. She scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"What happened to the soft rock section?" Angie questioned Hyde.

"I put it in the alley. See, that way, if somebody comes in asking for Barry Manilow, I can send him outside and lock the door." Hyde explained to Angie.

"Steven, this store is very important to me. When I was eight years old, Santa asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said, 'a record store'. You know what I got? A pony. What eight-year-old wants a damn pony?" Angie raised her eyebrows.

"You know, one year I asked for a damn pony and I got a car." Jackie complained as well.

"I asked for my parents to finally get a divorce, but then I moved to California with my grandma instead." I shrugged.

"I just want this store to be great." Angie sighed in defeat.

"Yeah, well, I think this pit makes the store great." Hyde defends.

"Really? Did you go to business school?" Angie asked.

"Well, he did a lot of business at school." Donna replied.

"Fine, I'll get rid of the pit, but I want that entire wall covered in zeppelin." Hyde points to a wall.

"We can't," Angie argues, "You know that research paper that I gave you that you probably smoked? Well, it says that zeppelin scares people over 30."

"Good, because people over 30 don't listen to music. They go to Florida and okay golf." Hyde retaliates.

"You know, that he's probably scared with their sick hair." Kelso giggled.

I just shook my head at his silliness.

~~

I ended up going home because my back was sore. I listened to some Queen as I laid in bed. A couple moments later, Kelso came in.

"What ya doing here, baby?" I asked as I sat up.

"Well, I know you're in pain and I also know you like Styx..." Kelso said as he pulled out a Styx album.

I smiled at him as he stopped my Queen record and put on the new record.

"You like Styx, don't you?" You asked him and he blushed.

"No, I just know you like em." Kelso said shyly.

"Michael, if you like Styx, I'm not gonna judge. Come on, I like Styx." I chuckle and Kelso smiled shyly.

"Okay, fine, I like Styx. Just don't tell anyone." Kelso said and I nodded.

"Fine, just come here and let me cuddle you." I smiled as Kelso wandered over and laid between my legs, his head barely on my stomach.

"I don't wanna crush the baby." Kelso said.

"Then come over here." I patted next to me and he smiled.

"Okay." Kelso simply said. He put his arms around my waist and put his leg over mine. His head was on my boob as I lightly played with his hair. He falls asleep so easily if I do that.

A couple songs later, Kelso is fast asleep. I smile softly as I admire how beautiful he is. I know I said I wanted to change him for other girls, but I seriously think that he might be my everything.

~~

Kelso had gone back to the record store after his nap.  Thanksgiving dinner was awaiting me downstairs after he left, so it was quite the good timing.

My parents haven't really talked to me since I told them I was pregnant. I mean, they didn't disown me, they just didn't talk to me.

After eating our dinner in complete silence, I sighed out, "Seriously, guys. What's with this whole silent thing? Can't you guys forgive me and accept that I'm having this baby?"

"Penny-" My dad started.

"No, you guys are being ridiculous. I'd like some support from my own parents to know I'm doing the right thing and that you guys will help me when I need you." I ranted as I got up from the table and went back upstairs. Hooray for another family thanksgiving.

After listening to some more music, my mom walked in my room.

"What do you want?" I sighed out.

"Penny, I need you to listen to me. There's a reason we haven't really said much." My mom said quietly as she sat on the end of my bed.

"Go on." I said.

"When I was younger, your dad and I met in high school. We started dating junior year. I got pregnant at the end of junior year." My mom explained.

"But wait, you didn't have me until you guys were 27." My eyebrows scrunched up.

"Exactly. You have an older sister. When she was born, we had Grandma keep her. We were too young to be parents. When you went to California to live with Grandma, your dad and I reconnected with her. When you were gone, we got to know her for a while. She explained she was only coming out this way because she was going to New York and she wanted to at least meet us." My mom revealed.

I swear I looked as pale as a ghost, "I have a sister?"

"Yes, her name is Martha. She's been living in New York for a while now. She works in finance or something like that." My mom explained.

"Why did you never tell me?" I asked her.

"Well, I guess we just didn't know how to say it. We didn't want to tell you when you were younger than 10. You wouldn't understand. Also, we didn't want to tell you when you just came back and everything was new. I wasn't going to keep it from you for forever. I just don't want you to do what I-we did. We want you to keep your baby, we just don't want you to follow our path." My mom sighed out sadly.

"I won't. I want to know my baby and watch it grow up. My baby means everything to me and they're not even born yet." I smiled as I put and humans subconsciously on my stomach.

"I'm glad. You'll make a great mother. Your dad and I will always be here for you during this time." My mom smiled and kissed my cheek.

"So, when can I meet my sister?"

~~

"Babe, did you eat?" Kelso says as soon as I picked up the phone.

"Yeah, a couple hours ago. I'm only a little hungry. Why?" I asked him in confusion as I closed my cosmo magazine and tossed it to the side.

"Well, I got tacos. And I wanted to know if you wanted to share one with me. Also, we have to listen to the other side of that Styx album. I wanna listen to 'Come Sail Away'." Kelso explains into the phone. I just chuckled in response.

"Tacos while listening to Styx with you sounds amazing." I smiled.

"Okay, see you in fifteen. Love you." Kelso said.

"Love you too." I replied as the other line hung up. I put my phone down and resumed in my cosmo magazine.

A few minutes later, my door opened and Kelso had two tacos in his hands. He put them down on my desk and flipped over the record. It began playing on side 2.

"Here." Kelso smiled and handed me a taco.

I smiled back and unwrapped the foil that kept the taco warm. I didn't decide upon telling anyone I had a sister. I didn't think it was a huge deal for them to know. It was just a me and my family type of thing.

The rest of the night, Kelso and I had a mini dance party to Styx. We also ended up partying a little too hard, if you know what I mean. Jeez, being pregnant really ups your sex drive for some reason. Kelso and I didn't seem to care much though.

Sorry for the long chapter! But anyways, today (technically yesterday now cuz it's 12:05) was my birthday! Finally 17!! Thank you guys so much for the support!

Also, I know some of you guys mentioned that Hyde could be the father. But after I looked at the timeline, I just don't think Hyde's in the mix here. My time of the episodes could be off, but if it's now November, then Kelso and Penny started their thing a while back.

The timeline between seasons 5, 6, and 7 are all so complicated. I only say this because with my story (idk I probably skipped a few episodes, making it weird) penny and Kelso would've started their thing near Christmas (refer to Christmas chapter). And idk if I skipped a BUNCH of episodes or if I'm the timeline, a lot of time was skipped in each episode. So now, Penny and Kelso would almost be at their one year, which seems literally insane. Idk. I think the episodes may just have been fast forwarded or I skipped a bunch of episodes. My apologies.

So there is no way that Hyde can be the father. Unless penny cheated on Kelso. Which we all know wouldn't happen because of what Penny's been through.

So, I hope that clears everything up. Hope you guys are all staying safe during these hard times! It'll all be over soon.
