Chapter Sixteen
Back to New York
Jack and Karen walked out of JFK at ten o'clock in the morning the twenty-fourth of December; Jack was pushing a luggage cart that had all their suitcases and bags on it.
"Where the hell is Driver?" Karen said angrily, shivering in the cold air. "I told him to meet us here so we wouldn't have to carry our bags."
"Don't worry Kare," Jack said, leaning over and kissing her cheek. "He probably just caught traffic."
"Kare! Jack!" a voice suddenly called.
They both looked to their left and saw Katherine running towards them, waving.
"Sorry I'm so late, there was an accident on the way here," Katherine said as she reached them. "But at least I got here. It's so great to see you guys!" She threw her arms around Karen and hugged her tightly.
"Aw Kath, I'm happy to see you too," Karen said, returning her sister's hug.
"How come you came to pick us up?" Jack said as Katherine hugged him. "I thought you had to work."
"I did," Katherine said as Karen looped her arm through her own and they walked over to the limo waiting for them. "I had to beg Grace to let me miss work today."
"Are Grace and Will working today?" Jack asked as they approached the limo.
"Will isn't, but he had to do some last minute shopping, Amber's with him" Katherine answered.
"Welcome back Mrs. McFarland, Mr. McFarland," Driver said. He took the luggage cart and quickly put the suitcases in the trunk.
"Finally, something decent to drink," Karen said after the three of them were in the back of the limo.
"I don't know Kare, Glaeve has pretty nice liquor," Katherine said smiling.
"Oh yeah, thanks so much for letting us go there Kat!" Jack said, ginning broadly.
"Did you enjoy it?" Katherine asked, looking at Karen.
"Of course I did Kath," Karen answered, taking a sip of vodka. "The décor was a little old fashioned, but it was nice."
Katherine smiled and shook her head despairingly.
"Does anyone have any plans for tonight?" Jack asked as they neared the penthouse.
"Well, Will and Grace are going to have dinner at their place tonight," Katherine answered. "If you guys aren't too tired and you want to come, we're going to exchange gifts."
"Hmm, what do you think poodle?" Karen asked, leaning against Jack. "Think you're not too tired to go see Will and Grace and open presents?
"I want to go Kare," Jack answered happily. "What about you?"
"Yeah, we'll go," Karen said. "We might as well get rid of the presents we bought."
The limo stopped then, and Jack helped Karen out.
"Will said he wants everyone at the apartment at six," Katherine said as she followed Jack and Karen up to the penthouse. "You guys need any help at all?"
"Nah, I'll be okay," Jack said. "I'll see you later Kat."
"Bye Jackie-boy," Katherine said as he went up to his and Karen's room. "What about you Kare?"
"I can handle unpacking," Karen said. She kissed her sister's cheek and said, "I'll see you at six."
"Okay, bye Kare," Katherine said, turning and leaving the penthouse.
~~~
That night at five thirty, Will was building a fire while Grace and Katherine were cooking dinner in the kitchen.
"Amb," Will said, stepping back from the fireplace and brushing his hands. "Get me a match so we can light this."
Amber ran over to the kitchen where Grace handed her a match. "Thank you Auntie Grace," the little girl said before turning and going back to Will.
"So how did Jack and Karen look when you picked them up?" Grace asked as she chopped up some vegetables.
"They seemed tired," Katherine answered. "But I think they had a lot of fun while they were over there."
"Did they like Glaeve?" Will asked, walking over and leaning against the kitchen counter.
"They did," Katherine answered, smiling.
"Did you tell them that's where your parents had gone for their honeymoon?" Grace asked.
"Nah, I don't think it would really matter to them," Katherine said, taking a pot off the stove.
A little after six, Jack and Karen arrived at the apartment. "Hey, hey everyone," Jack said, bursting through the door. "Did you guys miss us?"
"Of course they did poodle," Karen said, coming inside behind him.
Will and Grace got up from the couch where they were sitting and walked over to Jack and Karen, hugging them.
"You guys look great," Grace said, stepping back from Karen so Amber could hug her. "Really relaxed."
"We had a great time," Jack said, smiling. "And we got you guys some great stuff from over there." He walked over to the Christmas tree and set out presents that he had been carrying in a bag.
"Oh Will, can't we open our gifts now?" Grace asked him pleadingly.
"I spent all day cooking this dinner and all you want to do is eat," Will said sarcastically, putting his hands on his hips.
"You only made half of the dinner," Grace said, crossing her arms. "Kat made the other half."
"I don't mind opening the gifts now Will," Katherine said, smiling.
"Everyone's against me," Will said, throwing up his hands in the air.
"If you don't want to open presents Wilma, then make yourself useful and make me a martini!" Karen said.
Will rolled his eyes in annoyance, but he turned and walked to the kitchen while everyone else sat down to start opening the gifts under the tree.
After Jack and Karen had sat down together on the couch, Amber came up to them and asked, "Is it okay if I sit with you Uncle Jack, Auntie Karen?"
"Sure thing, come on Amb," Jack said smiling. He leaned over and picked up the little girl, putting her on his lap.
"Here Karen," Will said handing her a martini and the shaker.
"Thanks Wilma," Karen said, putting the shaker on the coffee table in front of her.
"Kat, get that one gift that's wrapped in red paper," Jack said to Katherine, who was standing next to the tree.
"Is this for Amber?" Katherine asked.
"Yeah, give it to her," Karen said, eating one of the olives in her drink.
Katherine handed Amber the gift, and she promptly ripped the paper off, revealing a small box. She opened the box and there was a small necklace with a locket on it.
"What do you think Amb?" Jack asked, nudging her.
"It's so pretty," Amber said. "Thank you Uncle Jack, Auntie Karen!" She threw her arms around Jack's neck and then leaned over to hug Karen.
"Okay, my turn to open a present!" Grace said excitedly, rubbing her hands together.
A half hour later, all the presents that had been underneath the tree were opened.
"Wow, you gave out some great gifts this year you guys," Grace said to Jack and Karen. I love these earrings."
"Yeah, thanks for the ipod," Will said. "Now I can listen to music instead of that so-called opera singer on the corner of 63rd."
"I actually like that guy, he's not too bad," Jack said, grinning.
"We'd better go eat," Katherine said, putting on the necklace she had received from her sister and Jack.
They all stood up and went over to the table and after Will and Katherine had served them, they began to eat.
"You two still haven't told us what you did in Paris, London and Dublin," Grace said during the meal.
"We did a lot of shopping in Paris," Karen said, sipping her martini.
"Did you go see the Eiffel Tower?" Will asked.
"No," Jack said. "The only tourist place we went to was the Louvre."
"You got Karen to go there?" Katherine asked, surprised.
"What? You don't think I would like someplace like that?" Karen asked her sister, annoyed.
"I'm just surprised Jackie-boy here could drag you out of the stores," Katherine said, grinning at her sister.
Karen made an annoyed face at her sister, and then returned to her drink.
~~~
"I hope you have fun with Grace's family tomorrow," Katherine said to Will as she and Amber got ready to leave the apartment.
"Oh yes, a nice Hanukah dinner with the Adler family," Will said. "Well, it's always fun to watch them talking."
Katherine laughed and then gave Will a hug. "Have a great Christmas Grace," Katherine said, walking over to her and hugging her.
"You too, you get to have a seven course dinner at Karen and Jack's," Grace said.
Shaking her head despairingly, Katherine said good night to Jack and Karen before taking her daughter over to her apartment.
"Thanks again for the presents, Jack, Karen" Will said.
"You're welcome Wilma," Karen said as Jack helped her into her black fur coat.
"And thank you for the blouse," Grace said.
"Welcome G-" Jack started to say before yawning. "Sorry, I'm tired. Come on Kare; let's get out of here before Will's chunkiness rubs off on us."
Will rolled his eyes and yelled out the apartment door as Jack and Karen got into the elevator, "Merry Christmas to you too, Tinkerbell and Drunko."
As the elevator doors closed, Will and Grace heard Jack and Karen yell in unison, "Same to you Chunky!"
~~~
Back at their penthouse, Jack was sitting on the edge of their bed, stifling numerous yawns. "What are you doing Kare?" he yelled out toward her closet.
"You don't remember what day it is do you poodle?" Karen asked coming into the room.
Jack, who had been rubbing his eyes, looked over at the alarm clock next to the bed. "Well, it's Christmas Day now," he said. "What-" He looked up at Karen and immediately his mouth dropped down in shock.
Karen had changed into a long black dress that had a big opening in the back, with straps that went around her neck and it had slit in the front that revealed her cleavage. "You like it?" she asked, turning around in front of him.
"You look. Wow Kare," Jack said, standing up. "Oh! I remember now, I proposed to you a year ago today."
"Took you long enough to remember Jackie," Karen said, kissing his cheek. She then walked over to a table where a small boom box was and turned it on, the sounds of a slow song coming out. "Come and dance with me poodle," she said, holding out a hand to him.
He quickly walked over to Karen and wrapped his arms around her as she put her arms around his neck. They swayed slowly to the music for a few minutes, and Jack slid his hands up and down her bare back. When the song ended, he kissed her bare shoulder and then lifted Karen up into his arms.
"I thought you were tired?" Karen asked as he lay her down on the bed.
"Not anymore, I suddenly got this burst of energy, I don't know what it was," Jack said, winking at her.
Karen smiled reached up to help him take off his sweater.
"It's great to be back home huh?" Jack asked as he had Karen sit up so he could unzip her dress and unfasten the straps around her neck.
"Yes it is," Karen whispered as Jack began to kiss her neck. After a while of this, she pushed him up off her and said, "Why is it always me that's naked first?"
"I dunno," Jack said, shrugging. "I guess I get to your clothes faster then you get to mine."
"Oh, I'll give you fast poodle," Karen said devilishly. She sat up and pounced on Jack, forcing him down on the mattress. While Jack put up a weak fight, she took off his clothes, throwing them over on the floor next to her dress.
When she was done, Jack lifted his head up slightly and kissed Karen deeply. "You're quick Kare," he said. "But not that quick." With that he flipped around so Karen was now on the mattress and he was on top of her.
"Are you going to make love me Jack, or just talk?" Karen asked impatiently.
"I think I'll just talk," Jack said, grinning. "You know-"
Karen quickly cut him off by pulling him down to her and kissing him.
Jack didn't waste any time, and started making love to Karen before she even more impatient with him. He then started to bite and suck the skin above her breasts hard enough to bruise it, but not enough to hurt, something he wanted to try, but didn't because he wasn't sure if Karen would like it or not.
It seemed that she did like this new treatment, as Karen started to gasp and moan every time Jack bit or sucked her skin. She clutched at his back more tightly, digging her nails in. "Oh.Jack.Jack," was all that she was able to say.
When he bit the skin at the base of her breast, Jack felt Karen's nail sink deeper into his back and she screamed out his name in ecstasy as she crashed over the edge. He himself bit down on her skin roughly as he went over his own edge. Catching his breath, Jack flicked his tongue out to where he had just bitten Karen, and was surprised to taste blood. He lifted his head and looked down and saw he had broken the skin. "Shit," he swore.
"What's wrong Jack?" Karen asked lazily, her eyes half closed.
"I bit you too hard," Jack said angrily. "You're bleeding." He got up from the bed and grabbed his robe that was on the cedar chest at the edge of the bed.
"Where are you going?" Karen asked, sitting up slightly.
"I'm going to get something for that," Jack spat out angrily.
Karen sat up against the head board and looked down at her chest, seeing the blood slowly coming out of the bite.
When Jack came back out, he had a bottle of rubbing alcohol, a washcloth, ointment and some gauze. He immediately cleaned the blood off and put on ointment before putting the gauze on.
Putting her hand under his chin, Karen lifted his head so he was looking at her. "It's okay Jackie," she said, smiling at him reassuringly. "It doesn't hurt at all."
"Yeah, but I'm not going to d-" Jack began to say before Karen put her fingers on his lips.
"You do whatever you want to me Jack," Karen said. "I'm giving you permission to, just as long as it doesn't kill me."
Laughing, Jack said, "Are you sure?" When Karen nodded, he then said, "I am sorry about that Kare."
"It's all right poodle," Karen said. "Now come on and lay down so we can get some sleep."
Jack got up off the bed and put all the stuff he had brought back into the bathroom. He then hurried back and took off his robe before getting under the covers next to Karen. "I love you Kare," he said to her as she snuggled up to him, putting her head on his chest.
"I love you too Jackie, Merry Christmas," Karen answered, lifting her head up. She kissed Jack deeply for a few minutes.
When they pulled apart, they settled back down on the bed and then fell asleep quickly, snuggled up together closely.
