Chapter Sixteen
Later that night, Karen finally woke up from her long nap. She stretched out her arms and jumped when she felt someone else's body next to hers. She turned and smiled when she saw Jack asleep. "Poodle," she whispered, laying a kiss on his nose. She nuzzled her face in his neck and then yelped when he wrapped his arms around her and turned her so she lay underneath him. "Jackie, were you awake this whole time?" she asked, as she giggled. He nodded and then rested his head on her chest. "Ryan and I broke up," he told her. "Really? Why?" she asked, trying to hide the fact that she was happy. "I'll tell you later," he answered, closing his eyes. "Tired, poodle?" she asked, running her fingers through his hair. "Yeah, I'm pooped," he answered, as she closed her eyes as well. "Night Jackie," she whispered. "Night Kare," he whispered back.
The next morning, Jack woke up, his head still resting on her chest. He felt so relieved that he had finally admitted that he loved her but the only problem was, he needed to tell her. "I can't," he whispered to himself. He couldn't tell her just yet because he still had to tell her about Carter and he knew that was more important. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and then fell back to sleep.

"Here are those papers you need to sign and then I can begin designing your house," Grace said, as she handed Carter some papers. "It's not my main house, it's my guest house," Carter corrected as she grabbed a pen. As she read through the documents, Grace couldn't help but stare at her. She was still in shock over the whole sister situation. She wanted to ask Carter about it, but decided it would be best not to.
At four o'clock, Jack and Karen had just returned from going to lunch and they were completely full. "God, I feel like Will...fat," Jack said as he plopped down on the couch. "Poor Wilma...everyday he's getting chunkier," Karen replied, as she sat down next to him, laying her head on his shoulder. "You okay Kare?" he asked. "Yeah of course. Are you okay? I'm sure breaking up with Ryan must have hurt your feelings," she answered, as he sighed. "I'm actually doing fabulous. Ryan wasn't good enough for me," Jack said, as she smiled. "I'm glad you realized that," she replied, kissing his cheek. He smiled when he felt her lips brush against his face. God it was amazing how much he loved her but once again, he had to keep his mind on Carter and what he was going to tell Karen. He thought about it for a moment and then made a big decision. It was time to tell Karen who her sister was. "Kare," he whispered softly. "Yes?" she asked, as he grabbed her hands. "There's something I have to tell you and it's really important," he answered, as she sat up. "What is it?" she asked, a littler nervous. "Well ever since you told me about your sister, I really have wanted to find her. Then as luck would have it, your mother came here the other day," he answered, as her mouth dropped. "My mom? Well what did she say?" Karen asked curiously. "She told me that she never wanted to hurt you and your sister. She said she loves you both still today, but then Carter interrupted us," he answered. "That bitch," Karen hissed as he shook his head. "No, don't say that," he said. "Why not?" she asked confusingly. "Karen, what was your sister's full name?" he asked back, as she thought about it for a moment. "Leeya Carter Delaney," she answered oblivious. "Do you see what I'm getting at?" he asked, as she shook her head. "Not really," she answered, as he rolled his eyes. "Carter was her middle name. Carter is your sister," he said, as she burst into nervous laughter. "No way honey," she replied, getting up from the couch. "Kare, I know you don't want to believe it, but it's true. Carter even told me herself," he said. "You're lying! She's lying!" Karen exclaimed, as he pulled out the picture from his pocket. "Look at this. Do you not see the resemblance?" he asked, as she gasped when she saw it. "Where did you get this?" she asked. "Carter gave it to me and you know what she said when she gave it to me? She told me she loved you and she still does," he answered, as Karen broke out into tears. "Oh my God," she whispered, as he hugged her. "Go talk to her," he whispered back as she nodded. "That's what I'm about to do," she said, as she grabbed a hold of her purse.
When Karen arrived at Carter and Associates, her body was shaking with nervousness. She couldn't believe that Carter was her sister and it surprised her so much how in one second, all the hatred she felt toward her disappeared. She walked into the elevator and pressed the 38th floor. The ride seemed like it took forever but finally it stopped at her chosen destination. She walked out and grasped the silver knob on the office door. She let out one huge breath and then turned the knob, but unfortunately for her, it was locked. "Why the hell is it locked!" she exclaimed, as the secretary looked up from her desk. "Miss Gin has gone home for the day," she informed her. "Okay well where is her home located?" Karen asked anxiously. "I can't tell you that ma'am," the secretary answered, as Karen chuckled. "I'm her sister and if you want to keep your job, you are going to give me her damn address right now," she said, as the secretary's eyes widened. "Of course, let me write it down on a paper for you," she replied, as Karen simply tilted her head to the side and smiled.
