Karen and Felicity had been living together for a week and were having the time of their lives. They both made it a point to learn as much as they could about the other's life and mind. They learned which topics were a good point of conversation between the two and which topics that they should avoid.

Karen and Will had made love many times that week, her sneaking over to his bedroom in the middle of the night, him catching her in the elevator after work. They didn't talk about their situation, but both of them knew that the time was approaching. It would soon be time to acknowledge their feelings to one another.

"Oh, Will." Karen sighed as he collapsed on top of her sweaty body. He kissed her neck and quickly found her lips, bringing her into a passionate kiss that made her lips feel like they were on fire. He pulled out of her and broke their kiss, rolling over to pull her on top of him. She kissed his neck all the way up to his ear. "Honey, we should talk about this." She whispered after they took a moment to catch their breath. He sighed and ran his hands over the smooth skin of her bare back.

"I don't even know where to start." She kissed his neck once again before rolling off of him, propping her head up on the pillow with her hand. He rolled over to mirror her position, intertwining his legs with hers.

"Well, let's start with finding out what all of this means. Why are we doing this?"

"I don't know. I really like being with you, Karen, but I thought that I was gay. And I know that you're not ready to get into another relationship so soon after the divorce."

"Honey, you thought that you were gay?"

"I don't know, I guess I still am, but I'm attracted to you." She giggled and placed her hand on his cheek.

"I think that just means that you're bisexual. Welcome to the club." He leaned forward and kissed her, lingering only for a moment.

"Why do you think that we're doing this?"

"I guess we understand each other, honey. We have a lot in common and we're not afraid to hurt each other's feelings. Isn't that all the reason we need?" He pondered her statement for a moment before pushing a strand of hair behind her ear.

"You're the only one who knows my darkest secrets and biggest fears."

"You're the only one who's ever seen me cry."

"I don't want us to stop seeing each other."

"Honey, we can't lie to Jack and Grace."

"How do we tell them?"

She sighed and rolled over onto her back. She had no idea what to say. She had always valued honesty, to a certain extent of course, and their relationship had to be brought out in the open. It wasn't fair to anyone if they kept it a secret.

"I'll tell Jack if you tell Grace."

"Why do I get the difficult one? Switch me." He joked as he rolled over on top of her. She giggled and ran her hands through his hair before kissing his lips. They made love once more before Karen decided that she should get back to her apartment.

She redressed and left Will's bedroom after a mind blowing kiss, making sure that she was not seen when she left. She then walked over to her own apartment and tried to unlock the door. When she turned the handle she realized that it had already been unlocked. She rushed into her new home and took a quick look around the kitchen and living room area, making sure that nobody was there, before retreating to her bedroom. She quietly closed the door behind her and flicked on the lights.

"Oh, fuck!" she screeched when she turned around to find Jack just inches from her face. "What are you doing?" she asked after she calmed herself down, also noticing that Felicity was sleepily sitting on her bed.

"Karen, I have a problem and I need my best friend to help me. So I figured I'd come over here and see if you'd let me sleep over, no pajama bottoms of course."

"Poodle, what's wrong? And why did you wake Felicity?"

"He said that he couldn't find his key." She replied before falling backwards onto the bed, taking in her mother's scent.

"Karen, I think that my apartment is haunted. I keep hearing creepy noises and there's nobody there to tell me what it is." She sighed and patted his shoulder.

"You can spend the night, honey. I have some stuff to talk to you about anyway."

"Oh, thank you Kare. Hey Felicity, you want to sleep in here too? It'll be like a sleepover." He said as he rushed over to Karen's bed and hurried his new niece under the covers. Karen walked over to the bed and crawled in between the two.

Did she really need to tell him? What would be the price to pay? What would her daughter think of her? She was such a good girl and it made her sad to think that she would set any kind of bad example. She felt Jack wrap his arm around her and cuddle into her shoulder. She felt like such a slut.

"What did you want to talk to me about, Kare?"

"Well, I just have something to confess, and I don't know how mad at me you'll be." She replied. She didn't continue and Jack took it as his note to step in.

"Karebear you told me that you weren't going to keep things from me anymore, especially when I ask. So, I'm asking, what do you need to tell me?" she sighed.

"I'm sleeping with Will." She felt the people on both sides of her body sit up and stare at her with shocked expressions on their faces. Jack shook his head and tried to make sense of the admission.

"Okay, let me get this straight. Will sleeps with men. Will sleeps with women. Karen sleeps with men. Karen sleeps with…do you sleep with women?"

"Only once, honey." She breathed, rolling her eyes at his oddly confusing train of thought.

"So, Karen and Will." He cringed and looked into her expectant hazel eyes, startling her a bit. "Do you love him?"

"It's way too soon for that, Poodle."

"Oh." He looked down only to have his face pulled back up to hers.

"Honey, are you mad?"

"No. I'm just really confused." She pulled him down to lie on her chest again.

"It's okay. I am too." Silence engulfed them as they all broke into their own trains of thought. Jack had already decided to give them his blessing and was thinking about his ghost. Karen was so relieved that she was finally able to let her secret relationship out. They were all bordering sleep when Felicity spoke up, perplexed.

"Mom, you slept with a woman?"
