A month had finally passed. Will had just about gotten all of Karen's papers and evidence in order. Stan still knew nothing about it. Will and Karen both agreed that it would be easier for them and harder on Stan if they had everything prepared before the divorce hearing. They didn't want Stan to have much time for it to sink in before they took him to court.

Will was taking Karen out this evening for their one month anniversary. He was taking her to a nice little restaurant about an hour away from the city. He didn't want anybody to see them together. And even if somebody did, they had gotten really good at just pretending to be friends who kind of hated each other. He wished more than anything that they could bring their relationship out into the open. Only a few months he figured.

Karen was having lunch with Jack. They didn't seem to spend as much time together since she was with Will. He also had a couple new boyfriends who occupied his time. Today, however, they made time for each other. They were best friends after all.

"Kare, are you feeling alright?" Jack asked as she sat without touching her salad.

"Yeah, honey, why?"

"I don't know. You just seem tired or something."

"I'm getting over the flu. I've just been dizzy and food doesn't look good right now." She said as she faked a smile. "I'm fine."

Jack knew she was hiding something. He knew her better than he knew anybody. He was bound and determined to figure it out.

"Are you sure it's the flu? Do you have anymore symptoms? I've been watching ER a lot so I know some stuff." He assured her, causing a giggle.

"I've been dizzy, no appetite, I've been throwing up a lot, and…oh my god." She said as she began to realize what might be going on.

"What's wrong?" He asked, startled.

"Honey, I think I might be…pregnant." She whispered. She hadn't had sex with Stan for months. The only possible father was Will. She got the dizzy feeling back and became nauseous. "Oh, I'm going to be sick." She said as she took a drink of her water.

"Karen, just breathe. This is great. We need to pick up a couple of tests. You know, like we did the last time you thought you were pregnant." He said, becoming very excited at the prospect of his best friend having a child.

"Maybe this is a false alarm like last time." She said, brightening up a little. Sure, she would love to have Will's baby, but not now. This wasn't the right time.

"Come on let's go do it now." He said while he jumped out of his chair and pulled her up by the hand.

"You want to do it now? I thought we were catching up." She said. She really didn't want to have to deal with this today. She was going out with Will later and she really didn't want to give him this kind of news. They had only been together for a month, and that was an affair. This was too soon.

"We can catch up in the limo. Come on." He said, dragging her out the door after she threw some money on the table.

About a half hour later they were sitting in Grace's office with their pregnancy tests. Jack was sitting at Karen's desk and she was sitting on his lap. They were flipping through a magazine together when the timer rang out. They jumped out of their seat. Jack ran over and checked his test.

"Well, again, nothing here." He said kind of sadly. His sadness quickly tapered off when he realized that she hadn't looked at her test yet. "Look at it Kare. I want to know." He said as he jumped up and down.

She smiled tensely and walked over to her test. She picked it up and stared at it for a moment before asking, "Jack what does blue mean?"

"Blue?" he asked as he looked at her excitedly. "Blue means you're pregnant. Is it blue?"

She walked over to the trash can and threw the test away without answering. She sat down at her desk and put her head in her hands. Jack watched and walked over to her. He pulled her into a hug before she came the closest he had ever seen her to crying. Without a warning she pushed him away and threw a glass off of her desk.

"Karen, calm down." Said Jack, a little frightened about where this was all headed. "Are you…"

"Yes, Jack, I'm pregnant." She turned around swiftly and looked him in the eye. "Jack I have to tell you something. I shouldn't, but I really need to get this off my chest."

"Sure, Kare, I won't tell anyone."

"I'm divorcing Stan."

"What? You're pregnant with his baby. Do you really want to do that?"

"The baby's not his, honey." She confessed. "I'm having an affair."

"What?"

"I'm fucking some other guy."

"Oh my god, who?" He asked. He couldn't believe his ears. He always thought that Stan and Karen loved each other. He also couldn't believe that she had chosen to tell someone. This was big.

"It doesn't matter. The point is I don't know what to do." She said while pacing back and forth. She stopped abruptly and turned to Jack. "Honey, you can't tell anyone about this. I don't want any proof that I violated the fidelity clause. Please."

"Karen, I swear. I won't tell anybody, but wow." He said. They stayed silent for a moment before Jack, again, took Karen in his arms. "I'll always be here for you, you know."

"Thanks honey." She smiled. "You better get out of here. You want plenty of time to get ready for your date tonight." She said as she pulled away from his embrace.

"Are you sure you don't need me here?"

"No, honey, I'll be alright, just as long as nobody finds out about this."

"You're secret's safe with me. I'll call you later." He said before walking out the door.

Karen stood in the middle of Grace's office feeling lost and confused. It felt really good to tell Jack her secret. Well, some of her secret. She didn't want to let out too many details quite yet.

She walked over and sat down at her desk as Grace walked through the door, returning from lunch with Will.

"Hey, Kare, what's up?"

"Oh, nothing here, honey." She replied while looking through a magazine.

"Are you sure? What's with the broken glass on the floor?" Grace asked as she kneeled down by Karen's trash can to clean it up. She stopped dead in her tracks when she glanced into the trash can. She stood up slowly and stared at Karen blankly. "Are you pregnant?" she asked, causing Karen's gaze to snap from the magazine.

"Why would you ask that?"

"There's a pregnancy test in your trash can. Are you?"

"I just had a few symptoms and I wanted to make sure. It's no big deal." She said, knowing how deceiving her answer was. She was careful to make sure that she didn't lie, though.

"Oh, okay." Said Grace as she walked over to her desk and began to work on a few sketches. A couple of hours later Karen left to get ready for her 'meeting.'
