Humpty Dumpty

Chapter 12

One Week Later, Related third expect the last sentence, where the story will start being told first peron Karen's perspective again.

Karen walked out onto the street outside Will and Grace's apartment searching for a mailbox, she still hadn't sent Stan the letter that she had written the week before, she wasn't totally sure why but she knew most of it was fear, she knew that if she divorced him she would lose the secuirity she was used to, even if Stan wasn't around his money was, but she had had enough, she was left pregnant and alone by the man who supposedly loved her.

Karen finally found a mail box and noticed her hands start to shake as she reached into her handbag and pulled out the letter, quickly she dropped it in the box before she dropped it on the ground and walked away, at that very moment her little girl decided to start kicking and Karen felt sure that she had made the right decision, she slowly walked back to the apartment hoping that someone had come home during the time she was out walking, although she was confident that she had made the right decision she didn't want to be alone either.

Grace was sitting on the couch watching TV when Karen walked into the apartment, Karen sat down next to her and stared off into space feeling relieved yet sad, she loved stan so much but she was too tired of getting hurt by his mistakes.

"Hey Kare." Grace's voice intruded into Karen's thoughts.

"Hi Honey!" Karen replied trying to sound happier than she felt.

"What's wrong?" Karen's forced cheer had caught Grace's attention, to her Karen seemed distracted and upset, which was a change from her mood for the last week ever since the results of the amnio had come back Karen had been much like her old self, except without the booze and prozac.

"Oh God honey, I wrote Stan a letter saying I want a divorce." Karen replied trying hard to keep control.

Grace just leaned over and wrapped her arms around Karen's waist.

"Honey, I'm so scared." Karen whispered as she started to cry.

"Scared of what?" grace asked her rubbing her back.

"That I'll lose everything and I'll be alone with a baby, I don't know how to look after a baby" Karen sobbed.

Grace had heard this conversation before, whenever Karen got emotional she started doubting her skills to look after her baby, it upset Grace to see Karen like this, usually Karen was so confident.

"Kare, you have me and Will and Jack and you CAN look after the baby, you will be a fantastic mother, I just know it." Grace said soothingly.

I wiped my eyes and said to grace,

"Yeah, mabye your right."
