A/N: Chapter 2 of "You Raise Me Up" song series. This installment of the series is a Will/Grace story about how their kids are struggling through their crumbled relationship. (Although, I don't believe the kids even knew about each other until college. Lol)

Chapter 2 – Stay Together For the Kids

It's hard to wake up
When the shades have been pulled shut
this house is haunted
It's so pathetic
It makes no sense at all.
I'm ripe with things to say
the words rot and fall away.
If a stupid poem could fix this home
I'd read it every day.

It had been years; about 19, maybe. Sure, Jack and Karen's plan to get them back together 6 years ago had worked for maybe 3 months, but they lost contact again. They never really spoke about each other in front of their children, but they would often talk to their spouses. They called on birthdays and talked for a few minutes but, that was it. They just weren't best friends anymore.

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost.
It's not right

Their anger hurts my ears
been running strong for seven years
Rather than fix the problems, they never solve them
it makes no sense at all
I see them every day
we get along so why can't they?
If this is what he wants and this is what
she wants
then why is there so much pain?

Their kid's were going to school together, were across the hall from each other, and were getting married. It was all so odd; ironic, actually. Now, they were practically forced to see each other all the time, not that they had a problem with that. They were family again.

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost
It's not right

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost
It's not right

It's not right

It's not right

It's not right

End Chapter 2

A/N: I don't exactly like the way this turned out. I was hoping to write more, but I thought that the song explained most of it. Plus, I'm mainly a J/K writer, so W/G are kind of foreign to me. I hope you like it!!! =) R&R , please!!!
